start network installation with HP 8530w with Intel ethernet card
by MOKRANI Rachid 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi, I have an HP 8530w laptop. I need ti instal it under CentOS 5.2 x86_64 - kernel 2.6.18-92. The network card is not recognized. I have add the driver e1000e-0.5.11.2 (dowload from Intel site). After compiled and installed the driver, all work fine! But I need to make a network installation and the Intel network card should be recognized before. I found the following script on the net and try it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ wget http://my_web_server/CentOS/5.2/x86_64/images/diskboot.img cp diskboot.img diskboot.orig.img mkdir diskboot_mnt mount -o loop diskboot.img diskboot_mnt mkdir initrd_extracted cd initrd_extracted gunzip < ../diskboot_mnt/initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories cd .. mkdir modules_extracted cd modules_extracted gunzip < ../initrd_extracted/modules/modules.cgz | cpio -i --make-directories cd 2.6.18-92.el5/x86_64 rm e1000e.ko wget http://my_web_server/e1000e.ko # Now put humpty back together again cd ../../ find . -print |cpio -o -Hnewc | gzip -c9 > ../modules.cgz cd .. cp -fp --no-preserve=all modules.cgz initrd_extracted/modules/ cd initrd_extracted find . -print |cpio -o -Hnewc | gzip -c9 > ../initrd.img cd .. cp -fp initrd.img diskboot_mnt/ # cleanup umount diskboot_mnt rm -rf diskboot_mnt/ initrd_extracted/ initrd.img modules.cgz modules_extracted/ mv diskboot.img diskboot.mod.img dd if=diskboot.mod.img of=/dev/sdb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- After trying to start on a USB key, the network card is not recognized again :-( Something is missing ... how to add this network driver for starting a network installation ? Anybody do this before ?

Re: [CentOS] where did all the nonfree rpms go? Nvidia? xine-lib-mp3?

Fighting against that directive just makes no sense. You should scan an entire system on some interval regardless of OS. << It's worth noting that the type of scan required by PCI DSS is not a filesystem scan by an antivirus product. It is a vulnerability scan performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor. Some other miscellanous points triggered by posts in this thread that I've read this morning: According to the Verizon 2008 Data Breaches Report, in over 90% of cases where a successful attack exploited a vulnerability, there was a patch available for at least six months prior to the breach. So the first thing we can say is that there is good reason to patch your system - it's definitely an effective activity. While the most popular attack methods of cybercriminals are hacking and malcode (again, the Verizon report confirms this), malcode is much more popular in the Windows world and hacking is the method of choice against Linux boxes, imho (SSH brute-forcing worms notwithstanding). This means that anti-virus products will be less effective in safeguarding the data on a Linux box, and host intrustion detection systems are correspondingly more effective. Most attacks against servers are conducted against the application layer code (PHP vulnerabilities, especially, but also SQL injection, etc.) Again, anti-virus products are not effective here, particularly since the original poster seems to be running custom code (internally-developed or outsourced). The best controls here will be HIDS like AIDE and Tripwire, as well as network IDS. An attacker who exploits a server might upload some recognisable malware, and an anti-virus scanner might pick it up, but I'm not sure whether (e.g.) ClamAV has signatures for stuff like eggdrop IRC servers, phishing sites and other stuff sometimes turns up on compromised hosts. The bulk of the signature database is undoubtedly Windows malware. However, a determined attacker, who knows what the server hosts, is much more likely to either use SQL injection or command injection techniques to extract credit card info (use NIDS to detect this) or to install a rootkit to allow him to come and go more easily (and HIDS will detect this). Remember, there are two problems to be solved here: a) Get the systems past the PCI-DSS Assessor b) Do something useful to actually protect the systems It would be great if both problems had the same solution, but that depends on how clueful the Assessor is (and how artfully the original poster can "manage" him). Right now, the original poster's employer is paying him to solve a), and will probably only worry about b) much later, should the excrement actually hit the fan. If installing ClamAV is what it takes to solve a), just do it and then get to work on b).

lvm metadata recovery
by Brian Krusic 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi all, I am looking for a way to recover my primary VolGroup00 that has my root partition. Here is my scenario; 1 - I add an external drive to my VolGroup00 which is sdc1. 2 - I make that external drive a snapshot of my / 3 - After I remove that new volume of sdc1 using lvremove, all os fine. 4 - When I turn off the sdc1 drive, I loose my VolGroup00. If by chance, the sdc1 breaks in such a way that the system doesn't se it any more and the system happens to reboot, it will longer recognize a VolGroup00 and therefore not boot. I backed up my original /etc/lvm to /etc/lvm.backup and would like to know how I can restore it from booting to a LiveCD and simply restoring the files located in /etc/lvm.back/backup/VolGroup00 which is my original metadata config. - Brian

The PCI DSS Ver 1.2 standard (of Oct. 2008 - get it from https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/pci_dss_download.ht…) actually states: 5.1 Deploy anti-virus software on all systems commonly affected by malicious software (particularly personal computers and servers). but then goes on, under "Testing Procedures" to state: 5.1 For a sample of system components including all operating system types commonly affected by malicious software, verify that anti-virus software is deployed if applicable anti-virus technology exists. Unfortunately, both open-source and commercial anti-virus software that will run on Centos do exist, which gives the assessor some wiggle-room. Even worse, the Summary of Changes from 1.1 to 1.2 says: Requirement & Testing Procedure: Clarified requirement applies to all operating systems types commonly affected by malicious software, if applicable anti-virus technology exists. Besides use of the term "anti-virus software", changed the term "virus" to "malicious software". Deleted note stating "Systems commonly affected by viruses typically do not include UNIX-based operating systems or mainframes." That last sentence is a killer, unfortunately - it means they have been tightening up on *ix systems. Looks like you could be in for a battle if the QSA is an intransigent sort. You could argue that while anti-virus programs do exist, their purpose is to detect infected files which could harm connected Windows systems, and are therefore not applicable in your specific case, particularly since you are using proprietary protocols and not running Windows file-sharing software (e.g. Samba, FTP, etc.) It really comes down to whether your Assessor is clueful, or a box-ticking droid.

Hi All, I have an old (2004) Intel based server with 4G of ram running Linux ndgonline.net 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux fully up to date using centOS rpms for apache, php, and mysql. I have just changed from dmraid to md raid for the OS on mirrored 80Gb SATA drives. (long story for another time) Mysql lives on a Intel hardware raid 5 controlled array - as is has for four years. My application has not changed and also runs just fine on another server (although this one is 64 bit) that has a mirrored mysql database replication from this one. I have compared apache conf files, my.cnf and all appears well. The page that times out on our firefox browsers after 30 seconds does have a series of complex mysql queries. There are no log messages other than ssl_error_log that shows: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/htdocs/ndg/includes/customHandler.inc on line 87 the line number varies as does the file name it reports. It will serve pages that only have a few records, yet on my functioning server even the large pages return over the internet in less than 2 seconds. So I'm thinking not enough memory? - but it was working well last Monday. something slowing mysql?? - all other queries in this app appear just fine php having issues? How do I get some extra log info to track this down? Kind regards Rob

Status of PostgreSQL and PHP in Testing
by Peter Hopfgartner 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Dear CentOS developers I would like to have ask some questions about the PostgreSQL and PHP packages in the current Testing repository for CentOS 5. In http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/TestingRepo there is a note, that the testing period is about 3 weeks. Currently, the PostgreSQL and PHP packages in http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS were created in September 08. Do the developers need more feedback about the packages in testing? Is there something (a wiki page, a ticket in the bug tracker or something else) where the feedback can be collected? Is there a testing plan for the packages (works with this and that software, upgrade from base works)? What is the best way I can help? Simply sending feedback to the ML? Is there a kind of policy for the upstream version, something like: version is expected to be in the next major Red Hat release, must be part of Upstream Web Stack or another Upstream product. Casting this to a concrete question: Can upgrades to PHP 5.2.8 or PostgreSQL 8.2.11 be expected to happen. And is there already a concrete plan to move those 2 packages to Plus [http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/centosplus/]? Regards and thank you for this great distribution.

I am not taking just the bootdisk.img file to make the USB bootable but the entire DVD content on the USB and my kickstart files. I'd like to just be able to plug in a USB disk that I have made that has all the kickstart information and the machine is just setup based on WHICHEVER usb thumbdrive in place in the machine.

Generating password string in /var/nis/passwd with Perl
by Alexander Farber 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello, in our network we have AD (Win 2003) for user authentication under Windows and NIS (CentOS 5.2) for same under Linux: # rpm -qf /var/yp filesystem-2.4.0-1.el5.centos ypbind-1.19-8.el5 yp-tools-2.9-0.1 ypserv-2.19-3 I have written a CGI Script to add new users both to AD and NIS and also to create the home dirs at our NetApp-Filer. Unfortunately some steps still have to be made by hand (the sysadmin copy-pastes it from a browser to a shell). I could skip one manual step (calling yppasswd) if I knew how to generate the passwd string for /var/nis/passwd: farber:oav3dV4.Mnj/.:10154153:5725:Alexander Farber,jn-05/02,,,,:/home/farber:/bin/bash Has anybody already figured out, how to do it from Perl? I'm sure there must be some way (smth. with Perl's crypt). Regards Alex PS: Here is my script: http://pastebin.com/m46057a70 feel free to modify and use

Help with a good recovery plan.. Linux rescue?
by Glenn 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello All, I have a machine that crashed. Some part of the motherboard (power supply-related) went south. The motherboard, CPU and memory have been replaced with a much newer architecture. The OS and data are intact on two SATA drives that were RAID1 with LVM. I am going to use 'linux rescue' to recover the LVM backup so I can mount the RAIDs (there were two) in a new CentOS install, on a third disk. I have no indication that I could recover the previous CentOS (somewhere between CentOS 5.1 and 5.2 on updates). Can I use 'linux rescue' to fix that OS up to boot it? The kernel panics in its current state (because the hardware architecture is so strikingly different). What is the methodology of fixing the kernel in this circumstance? Thanks in Advance! Glenn

(OT) Firewall Question
by Jun Salen 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi List, I am not familiar with the commands of IPtables so I want use tools on top of it. What do you suggest. Can I make test of it inside CentOS on top of VMWare server with only one LAN inteface? I try to use Pfsense, I believe it has easy to understand GUI but it fails to install on my desktop machine to test, maybe due to hardware comaptibility. Kernel panic during boot even after disabling ACPI. If you have suggestion on tools or template for Iptables to suggest or share, please do.

Hi, I'm running Centos 5, with openldap Version: 2.3.27 Release: 8.el5_2.4.

prettyprint problem in CentOS 5.2
by tbuchanan＠vinu.edu 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

I'd like to ask for help with a problem in CentOS 5.2 when printing from the command line with the prettyprint option selected. Program students print out their code with the command: lpr -P<printer_name> -o prettyprint -o job-sheets=none <filename_to_be_printed> The prettyprint option, as you know, puts a banner with file name and date at the top, and uses a small font, and (for a color printer) uses different colors for different parts of the file. This last worked with a fully updated CentOS 4.7 server but after a move to a different fully updated CentOS 5.2 server the prettyprint option does nothing unless the first line of the file to be printed contains /*hello*/, (discovered quite by accident). CUPS on CentOS 4.7 was cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.27.el4_7.1 while the version on CentOS 5.2 is cups-1.2.4-11.18.el5_2.3. I tried printing from a couple other Linux distros, Fedora 10 (cups-1.3.9-6.fc10.i386) and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, both of which were fully updated. The Fedora 10 exhibited the same problem while the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS printed properly with the prettyprint option. Is this a bug with the way RedHat implements CUPS or am I missing something? The only thing I found in a quick Google search that was similar (but with opposite effects, if I understand correctly) was this CUPS bug report http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2158 which gives no resolution. For now the instruction is having the students print via a script he created which adds \*hello*\ to the first line of their code. Any help would be appreciated. Ted

by mcclnx mcc 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

we plan to setup our ORACLE database server (32 bits DB) and use dell r900 server. This server can put up to 128GB RAM. We are thinking use 32 bits CENTOS 4.7 or 5.2. My concern about CENTOS 5.2 is it only support up to 16 GB RAM on 32 bits O.S.

Cron daemon with better precision?
by Tim Nelson 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Greetings list- I'm on the hunt for a cron scheduler that supports definitions to the second. Obviously, every cron daemon supports minute/hour/etc but I have a special application that requires finer granularity. I know I know... someone will say "The load will be horrendous on your system" or "Why don't you simply schedule your cron every minute and make up the higher precision in your application?". Unfortunately, this will not work. I really need a cron daemon that can schedule to the second. All ideas/thoughts/suggestions/etc welcome. Thank you!

exim rpm with DKIM support for CentOS?
by Timo Neuvonen 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

I haven't learned a lot about DKIM yet, but I guess I'll need to implement it in the near future, at first for signing outgoing mail. I'm using exim as an MTA. I guess the standard exim 4.63 binary rpm from CentOS repos propably does not have DKIM support yet? Or does it, maybe? Provided the standard binary rpm does not provide this functionality, what would be the most decent way to get this functionality? Does the standard source rpm already include the necessary code, re-building the binary rpm with some additional option wouldn't sound bad. If not going this way, what could be a realiable source for a suitable exim rpm (either source or both the x86 and 86_64 binaries) for use in CentOS? Regards, Timo

IPSEC tunnel for remote internet access
by Mr.Vandeley 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hello list, I need to provide internet access through a proxy server on a central office to a remote Lan on a branch office (LAN-B). Also there is an internal server that LAN-B machines should reach. Below there is a simple diagram. Right now I have an IPsec VPN tunnel between offices, and LAN-B can acces LAN-A machines without problems. But LAN-B machines can't access the remote proxy or the internal server on a different LAN. Pings from a LAN-B PC to the PROXY server actually reach the proxy but answers get stuck on the VPN-Gateway-A. VPN-Gateway-A says to the proxy server that network LAN-B is unreachable. I am really confused. Both, router and VPN-Gateway-A knows how to reach LAN-B machines. I think that this behavior is due to the fact that VPN tunnel is up only for packets between LAN-A and LAN-B, so packets from the proxy server (on a different LAN) doesn't get routed to the tunnel. And since this, VPN-Gateway-A doesn't know how to reach LAN-B. All routers, proxy and VPN gateways are Centos based PCs. VPN gateways have Centos IPSEC implementation. Maybe IPsec is not appropriate on this case. Maybe openvpn fits better. [internet] | (proxy) (internal server) | [LAN] | (router) | [LAN-A] | ((VPN-Gateway-A)) | [wifi link] | ((VPN-Gateway-B)) | [LAN-B] Hope it is clear enough. -- Mr. Vandeley.

stack overflow
by Peter Doherty 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi, I've got a fileserver that runs Centos 5.2. It's been stable otherwise stable for maybe a year or more, and now it's crashed three times since Saturday. The first two times the computer was completely unresponsive, and there was nothing on the console, and nothing in the logs. I was beginning to suspect hardware, (esp. RAM, PSU, or maybe a failed fan) Last night it locked up again, but this time there was something in / var/log/messages. (see below) So far my searches indicate that increasing to 8K kernel stacks would fix this. The server has a couple 3ware SATA RAID cards, and I'm running xfs. The server does nightly disk to disk backups of a few dozen workstations. The server does always seem to crash overnight. If the problem really is in the kernel stack size, it's odd that it just started all of a sudden. I thought I'd post here before I looked into compiling a new kernel with 8K stacks. Thanks for any advice! --Peter 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 20 09:34:18 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: do_IRQ: stack overflow: 464 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: [<c04073bd>] do_IRQ+0x5c/0xae Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fc7ff0aa Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: printing eip: Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: c0606da4 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: *pde = 00000000 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fc7ff226 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: printing eip: Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: c060704e Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: *pde = 00000000 ----clip for repeating info------ Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fc7ff226 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: printing eip: Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: c060704e Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: *pde = 00000000 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: Oops: 0002 [#1] Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: SMP Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: last sysfs file: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:04:04.0/irq Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: Modules linked in: ipv6 autofs4 hidp rfcomm l2cap bluetooth sunrpc xfs(U) dm_mul tipath video sbs backlight i2c_ec button battery asus_acpi ac lp i2c_i801 e7xxx_edac floppy edac_mc i2c_core ide_cd serio_raw e100 parport_pc cdrom e1000 mii parport intel_rng sg pcspkr dm_snapshot dm_zero dm_mirror dm_mod ata_piix libata 3w_9xxx sd_mod scsi_mod ext3 jbd ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: CPU: -1065923552 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: EIP: 0060:[<c060704e>] Not tainted VLI Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: EFLAGS: 00010046 (2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 #1) Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: EIP is at do_page_fault+0x3c5/0x4b8 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: eax: 00000013 ebx: 00000000 ecx: c0626aae edx: 00006dbf Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: esi: fc7ff226 edi: fc7ff026 ebp: 00000002 esp: f0b69170 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000100ca Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: printing eip: Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: c0606da4 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: *pde = 707f0067 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 826ef258 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: printing eip: Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: c041fa82 Jan 14 03:06:21 fs2 kernel: *pde = 00000000

vixie-cron package from RHEL 5 FasTrack?
by Alfred von Campe 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

What is the best way to get the RPM described in the following URL installed on CentOS 5.2: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0586.html I have users who can't run cron jobs because their home directories are NFS mounted, and I believe installing this RPM would fix the problem. I remember reading that the CentOS developers are working on supporting the RHEL FasTrack mechanism, but other than that I am not very familiar with the purpose and workings of FasTrack. For instance, will RHEL 5 Update 3 (and therefore CentOS 5.3) include this fix? Why wouldn't this RPM make it into the current update stream since it was released 6 months ago? Alfred

postfix relay and mail host for HPC cluster
by Tony Schreiner 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I've so far been unable to make the following work: I have a small cluster with a master node ( called bayes.bc.edu on the public network, and called master.cl.bc.edu on the internal 10.0.0.0 network). and a number of nodes which are purely on the private network. I want the master to receive mail and deliver locally (or use .forward and alias rules) to messages sent from the nodes to user@master, and I want it to relay non-local addresses to my campus relay host which is another machine. The relay part works ok, all mail addressed in a form that my campus relay host recognizes gets delivered. The problem is that mail to user(a)master.cl.bc.edu (the internal name) gets relayed to the campus relay which does not know about the host name master.cl.bc.edu because that is defined on a private DNS server for the cluster, and the campus relay rejects the message. How can I get my cluster master to not relay messages addressed to @master.cl.bc.edu? The queueing/resource manager (torque/pbs) wants to send automatic status messages to user(a)master.cl.bc.edu and that cannot easily be changed. Mail MTA is postfix for both master and nodes Some postfix settings on the master. myhostname = bayes.bc.edu mydomain = bc.edu myorigin = bayes.bc.edu inet_interfaces = master, localhost mynetworks = 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 relayhost = mail.bc.edu and some settings on the nodes mydomain = cl.bc.edu myorigin = bayes.bc.edu inet_interfaces = localhost relayhost = [master.cl.bc.edu] Thanks for any help, Tony Schreiner

Squirrel 1.4.8-8.el3.centos.1
by Henk van Lingen 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi, Last tuesday I upgraded squirrelmail on two centos-3 mailservers. squirrelmail-1.4.8-8.el3.centos.1, 2.4.21-58.ELsmp, CentOS release 3.9, httpd 2.0.46 Since then I have some users who have problems with their sessions. They are logout out every now and them, and some sent mails have another user address in the From header. It looks like squirrel is mixing up sessions? Those users have used fresh browser sesions. Anyone else seeing this? regards, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems Administrator & DBA (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University. /\ | phone: +31-30-2534107 v_/_ http://henk.vanlingen.net/ http://www.tuxtown.net/netiquette/

3Ware 9650SE tuning advice
by Ray Van Dolson 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hello fellow sysadmins! I've assembled a whitebox system with a SuperMicro motherboard, case, 8GB of memory and a single quad core Xeon processor. I have two 9650SE-8LPML cards (8 ports each) in each server with 12 1TB SATA drives total. Three drives per "lane" on each card. CentOS 5.2 x86_64. I'm looking for advice on tuning this thing for performance. Especially for the role of performing as either an NFS datastore for VMware or an iSCSI one. I set up two volumes (one for each card); one RAID6 and one RAID5. I used the default 64K block size and am trying various filesystems in tandem with it. I stumbled across the following recommendations on 3Ware's site: echo "64" > /sys/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb blockdev --setra 16384 /dev/sda echo "512" > /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests But am wondering if there are other things I should be looking at, including changing the IO scheduler. Any particular options I should use with filesystem creation to match up with my RAID block size? I also noted that there is a newer 3Ware driver (2.26.08.004) available than the one that comes stock with CentOS 5.2 (2.26.02.008). Not sure if I can expect performance improvement by "upgrading", and I imagine I'd have to mess with my initrd file in any case or boot with a driver disk option and blacklist the built-in driver... Thanks for any feedback! Ray

Does CentOS 5 support USB 1 ?

We upgraded our Internet server to CentOS 5 from RedHat 4. Now we can't use the USB port. dmesg returns: usbcore: deregistering driver usb-storage Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered.

Areca 1220 kernel lockups
by William Taylor 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Has anyone experienced any problems with Areca raid cards specifically the 1220 causing kernels to lock up? We are running 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen on 64bit. We have "areca_cli rsf info" run once an hour from cron to check for raid raid issues. Having this running seems to cause the box to lock up. Whats weird is I can't seem to make it lock up while running that command by hand. If anyone has any insight on this it would be most appreciated. Thanks, William

CentOS-5.2 su -l is failing
by James B. Byrne 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

I am encountering an odd problem with su. Up until quite recently I was able to connect to one of my servers (CentOS-5.2) via ssh as an ordinary user and then, from the shell, perform an $ su -l to obtain root access. Now when I try to do this I see the following: $ su -l Password: su: incorrect password If, instead of I ssh to this machine as the root user ($ ssh -l root host) and enter exactly the same password from the same keyboard then I log in successfully as root. I have made no conscious changes to the target system configuration files and I know that the first method, logging in as a normal user and then su -l to root, was working just a few days ago. Review of the man and info pages does not enlighten me as to what might be wrong. The log file says this: Jan 14 12:00:22 inet01 sshd[15433]: Accepted password for myuser from x.x.x.x port 53458 ssh2 Jan 14 12:00:22 inet01 sshd[15433]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user myuser by (uid=0) Jan 14 12:00:32 inet01 su: pam_unix(su-l:auth): authentication failure; logname=myuser uid=500 euid=500 tty=pts/8 ruser=myuser rhost= user=root Any ideas as to what might be happening here and how I might fix it?

(Semi-OT) Problems with Firefox
by Sam Drinkard 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

List, After I think the last or next to last update to firefox, I started seeing some problems, wherein I no longer have a "back" function on any pages or tabs. Also, I get some kind of strange message.... "Assertion Failed ASSERT:***Search:_installLocation: engine has no file! Stack Trace: 0 ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!.2147500037) 1:()2:()3:()4:90:epsGetAttr([objectObject],hidden)5:906:907:currentEngine() 8:get_currentEngine()9:updateDisplay() 10:init() 11:([object XULElement],0) I realize this is not the proper place for FF related problems, but thought I'd ask if someone else has seen something like this happen. Prior to the last 2 updates, FF appeared to be working properly, and all the forward/back buttons worked. Assistance would be mighty helpful.. Thanks Sa,

Can you do this? I have not found the options to get this to happen. So far I have seen how to read the Audio CD and make a directory of WAV files with a control file for later burning to CD, but I want an iso image that I can archive and burn audio CDs to use as they get used up.

AFAIK the DHCP client has no authority to register dynamic dns regardless of how the client machines are configured. It's the DHCP server that decides to update BIND and this can be turned on or off. My guess is your DHCP server is configured to update BIND when clients get new leases. Hence the errors reported by BIND when these attempts are made. Read up on the man pages for dhcpd.conf. In particular review the ddns-update-style and ddns-updates options. Scott -- Registered Linux user #395249, http://counter.li.org Nothing goes to waste when Little Fish are near!

Postfix header check help
by Plant, Dean 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi list, I have a requirement for a mail server that only allows email to pass with a particular word in the subject line. Reading the header checks docs for Postfix I thought I may be able to add this rule: !/^Subject: .*dingdong/ REJECT Need to add dingdong to subject line to send Which should reject all mail unless the subject line contains "dingdong". Unfortunately this seems to block all mail from passing. Removing the "!" works as expected and the server allows all mail to pass, unless dingdong is in the subject line which is rejected. Is this rule valid? Or is there a better way to make this work? Thanks Dean

Poor RAID performance new Xeon server?
by Stewart Williams 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

I have just purchased an HP ProLiant HP ML110 G5 server and install ed CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on it. It has the following spec: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3065 @ 2.33GHz 4GB ECC memory 4 x 250GB SATA hard disks running at 1.5GB/s Onboard RAID controller is enabled but at the moment I have used mdadm to configure the array. RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller For a simple striped array I ran: # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 # mke2fs -j /dev/md0 # mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /mnt Attached are the results of 2 bonnie++ tests I made to test the performance: # bonnie++ -s 256m -d /mnt -u 0 -r 0 and # bonnie++ -s 1g -d /mnt -u 0 -r 0 I also tried 3 of the drives in a RAID 5 setup with gave similar results. Is it me or are the results poor? Is this the best I can expect from the hardware or is something wrong? I would appreciate any advice or possible tweaks I can make to the system to make the performance better. The block I/O is the thing that concerns me as mostly I am serving a 650MB file via samba to 5 clients and I think this is where I need the speed. Plus I am hoping to run some virtualised guests on it eventually, but nothing too heavy.

Installing kernel RHEL-5.3 on CentOS 5.2 (x86_64)
by Marcelo M. Garcia 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi I tried to install the kernel Red Hat 5.3 x86_64 (2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64) with the command: rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64.rpm but there is problem with dependecy: ecryptfs-util < 44. How to solve problems with depencies when installing a beta kernel? I'm trying this kernel to see if I get CentOS working with the wireless iw4965. I tried the drivers from Intel, but the compilation failed. Thanks Marcelo

Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts
by Vandaman 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these people by flouting the mailing list guidelines. This is an example of top-posting http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-January/070494.html There are legitimate newbies who top-post because they know no different and can acquaint themselves with the mailing list guidelines at http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 Maybe the guidelines can updated to say trimming of emails as well and maybe link to examples on Wikipedia of top-posting and bottom-posting. Newbies aside, there are guys still top-posting who have ignored polite offlist messages not to top-post. Its not the time to be nannying people over how to behave on mailing list.

RAID level and killing a job
by Scott R. Ehrlich 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

First question - under CentOS 5, if I created non LVM partitions on a server with 6 disks - 2 disks are RAID 1 (OS), how do I remind myself or inquire the type of RAID of the remaining 4 disks (RAID 1 or RAID 5), without having to reboot? Second question - A newly installed server consisting of CentOS 5.2, straight off the DVD, I invoke a command by hand, realize I want to kill it soon after (logged in as root). I issue ps auwx|grep name_of_command, get the PID, and issue kill -9 PID. ps auwx|grep name_of_command is still running. The command is NOT part of any scheduled job. Why won't the process die? How else can I kill it without a system reboot? The command does not get invoked with a script, and is not a script itself - just a standalone binary. I tried CNTL-Z and CNTL-C. I finally killed the terminal it was running from. Nothing works. pkill doesn't work, either. Thanks. Scott, CISSP

I am trying to get timing paramters from a CGI program. date is just a command for example used here. when I do: time { date; } everything is good. when I do: time -o file { date; } I get time -o file { date; } bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}' How do I correctly issue the command with an option for -o file to output the data to a file. Thanks, Jerry

gcc 4.1 and OpenMP?
by Davide Cittaro 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I was modifying a source to add OpenMP capabilities. I knew that gcc supports OpenMP since version 4.2, so I've compiled a recent (4.3.2) gcc and installed in my home directory, this because gcc shipped with CentOS 5.2 is 4.1. I've then noticed that my executable links /usr/lib64/libgomp.so, installed with gcc 4.1 from CentOS rpms... Is CentOS default compiler OpenMP ready? Does this mean I don't have to compile my own compiler? Thanks d Davide Cittaro davide.cittaro(a)ifom-ieo-campus.it

No, the main problem is that A is behind my ISP's NAT. I want to access it from C (yes, I'll be travelling a lot and C might be just about anywhere). But the problem is that since A is behind a NAT, the connection must be initiated from A's side to C. Also, since C might be behind some other NAT, the connection must be initiated from C's side to A. This simply cannot work simultaneously, so I tried to make use of my public server B which can be used as a "bridge" between A and C. So, A connects to B, C connects to B, and then A and C communicate. Roughly speaking... That was my initial idea, but seems too complicated to work out, so I asked for a possible easier alternative. :-) > Or if want your own set up you could of course for example run some > sort of remote access service like VNC and just pay for a static IP > for Machine A from its ISP and set up Port Forwarding for VNC That would be the most obvious solution, if only the ISP were willing to give me a static IP.

Hmmm... This is interesting. I'll look up to www.no-ip.com, but I think that such dns trick may work only with public IP numbers. And A's IP is of type 10.0.*.* which is a no-go, afaik. However, I might ask the ISP to provide me with a public IP. It could still be dynamic, but public rather than local, and in that case the trick with the dns just might work... ;-) Thanks for the pointer! Best, :-) Marko

Bugs in yum update
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

This is a continuation of the thread: "yum update fails: CentOS 5.2". I installed a fresh Centos 5.2 and ran yum update. It ran correctly, except for these issues: 1. As previously mentioned, after deciding what it is going to do, It doesn't ask if its ok. But if I type y<enter> it reports: Is this ok [y/N]: Downloading Packages: 2. During the long period it is downloading files, it doesn't print anything, giving the impression that nothing is happening. Watching the lights, and using WireShark and ARIN, I determined that it was downloading from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I decided that was good. During the install phase, the expected logging appeared. 3. When it said it was finished, it didn't exit the yum process; I did it with CRTL-C . Mike.

[OT] Remote control of a WinXP machine from a Linux host
by Marko Vojinovic 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Sorry for an off topic post, but a lot of you folks are sysadmins here or there, and just might have a suggestion... ;-) I have a WinXP machine that is to be unattended for a period of 3 years (yes, I know, it sounds ridiculous, but still...). What I need is remote access to it to perform regular system maintenance, virus cleanups, occasional software installations, reboots, config changes, etc. Of course, rdesktop would do it, or vnc server or something else. The problem is that this machine is behind a NAT, and I cannot access it remotely from outside (and I need access from whereever on the planet I may happen to be). Basically, I need to setup some type of ssh tunnelling from XP (machine A) to my static-IP-24/7-high-bandwidth-CentOS server (machine B) and then further to my laptop (machine C, Fedora 10) located elsewhere (possibly behind another NAT, I can't know in advance). I have root access for all three machines (A, B and C). Of course, all three are on different LANs. However, I have never done anything like this before, so I wonder what is the best method of creating such a setup? One of my ideas was to make some script on A which would connect to B once every 15 minutes or so, look for a flagfile, and if present, initiate connection with C directly or through B if necessary. That means, if I want access from C to A, I ssh from C to B and create a flagfile, wait 15 minutes or so, and a rdesktop (or vnc or other) appears on my laptop. In theory. Or is there some other XP-tool that might do what I want out of the box? However, it need be absolutely automatic, there will be nobody around to do anything locally on A once I leave it. Another idea I had was to have machine A running as a virtual machine on a CentOS host (vmware or such would suffice). Then I could easily configure the above A-to-B-to-C scenario, shutdown the virtual A, pull its hard disk file to C, start it locally, perform maintenance, push it back to host A and run it again as a vm. But this is highly complicated, takes too much time and bandwidth, so I hope something simpler is available. Yet another idea is to ask A's ISP to provide a static IP for that machine, or to forward some available port to A, which could be used by rdesktop in some customized fashion. But the ISP may refuse such requests, and I need a robust solution. Yet even another idea is to put another CentOS machine (D) between A and A's ISP (create a local LAN). Then initiate ssh -X connection from C to D (somehow, via flagfile scenario or such), and then rdesktop from D to A over a local LAN. The main problem is NAT, if machine A had a world-accessible IP, I would just rdesktop from C to A, but alas, it doesn't... :-( Any suggestions about the best way of doing this? Thanks, :-) Marko

CentOS 4 update backlog

13 Jan '09

There are security updates upstream for CentOS (4 and 5) and it looks like the CentOS 5 ones have been rebuilt and rolled out. How come the CentOS 4 branch lags behind, or are the CentOS 5 devs different from the CentOS 4 devs? If more volunteers are needed I'm sure assistance could be offered by the CentOS community.

After BIND update owner changed and restart failed

I just applied the BIND updates. Then I fixed the one file that had a second include of named.ca (remembered that from last time) and did a 'service named restart', and it failed. In messages I found: Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: /etc/named.conf:11: open: /etc/named.acl: permission denied Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: loading configuration: permission denied Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: exiting (due to fatal error) Oh, I remember this from the last update... So off to /var/named/chroot/etc and do a 'chown named:named *' then named started. This apparent changing of file ownership in installing a new set of bind updates so that named cannot access the files seems like something is broken somewhere.

I just removed the "current" version of wxGTK (rpm -e wxGTK-2.8.9-1.el5.rf ) and then installed audacity-1.3.0b-1.el5.rf and wxGTK-2.6.3-1.el5.rf by doing a "yum localinstall." Seems to work fine although I have to do updates as "yum --exclude wxGTK update" or the update fails dependency checks. I posted more about how I solved the issues on my blog at http://davenjudy.org/davesBlog/node/40 There could be an issue if some package other than audacity needs the more recent version of wxGTK but I didn't have to force the removal of the package. This tells me that the easiest way to resolve this issue may be to just "hold" wxGTK at 2.6.3-1 until the next version of audacity is ready for prime time. Anyone know of any other packages that are dependent on wxGTK and need the most recent version? Finally, if you don't want to mess with any of this, you can convert an mp3 to wav using mpg123: mpg123 -w infile.wav outfile.mp3 Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Can sound be redirected from a remote computer to local computer?
by dcw 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

I need to redirect the sound from a remote Centos 5.2 computer to my local Centos 5.2 computer. Both are i386 OS. Searching the web and Centos web site has indicated that it is possible but I have not found any information about how to do it. I am currently using ssh and/or vnc to display the remote computer locally. At this point, the sound is being played on the remote computer only. Thanks for any help, David

ZFS on Linux
by Mag Gam 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

I am planning to use ZFS on my Centos 5.2 systems. The data I am storing is very large text files where each file can range from 10M to 20G. I am very interested on the compression feature of ZFS, and it seems no other native Linux FS supports it. My question are: Is ZFS stable? How does it scale for very large filesytems, ie, 2TB to 9TB? How is the performance of fuse? I plan to use it on my archive server first, so data reliability is very important Any thoughts or ideas? TIA

Can't update CentOS 5.2
by Mário Gamito 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Hi, I've just installed a fresh CentOS 5.2 Now, I run "yum update" and I get: "Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again" I have Internet connection, but I cant ping mirrorlist.centos.org and http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os just stalls. Is there another "mirror list" and if so, how do I configure it ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, -- :wq! Mário Gamito

Programming ressources

Hi! It may be a little OT but i'm searching for a c/c++ programmer for the development of a remote controlled multimedia player that would run under CentOS with Aja OEM card. We'd use this player in our fully automatic TV broadcast system. We currently have a player (developed in house) that works mostly ok on Winblows but it lacks many features like remote monitoring (SNMP or something like that), fault management, etc. The code is not documented and there are problems migrating from Stradis SDM-275 card to SDM-290, from Win2000 to XP, etc. I was thinking that their should be programmers on the CentOS mailing list. Sorry if i bother other list members with my request. We are based in Montréal, Province of Quebec, Canada. Frankly, we have to find a Winblows programmer first to evaluate the documentationless code we have for our current player. With the obligation to go digital and the fact that we may even have to go HD, we'll want to go Linux and get an ultra-stable platform. It would be nice to evaluate if something like VLC or MPLayer could provide the functionality we want too. If there is some project/job/project site, please let me know. Please respond offlist. I'll make a resumé of what i found for the list if there is interest for that. Regards, Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc.
