Sendmail - STARTTLS not appear on one client
by happymaster23 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi, I have Sendmail configured to use STARTTLS for authentication. On all internet connections and computers (that I have tested) works connection over encrypted SMTP flawlessly. Today I was setting up mail client on PC of my customer and standardily checked boxes, that I want to use SSL for POP3 and SMTP. Next I wanted to check configuration (by sending email from this mailbox to this mailbox) but it does not work. So I have opened telnet, connected via port 25 and writed "ehlo hostname" and then finded out, that there is missing STARTTLS. Is possible, that some bad configuration on client side (firewall, etc...) can cause this error including that this function is missing in printout of ehlo? POP3S working good. >From Sendmail log (/var/log/maillog): Nov 28 19:31:23 server sendmail[11163]: xxx: xxxxx.jizmorava.adsl-llu.static.bluetone.cz [85.207.xxx.211] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA Thank you very much

how can I stress a server?
by Rudi Ahlers 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi all, I have a server, with an Intel DG35EC motherboard, Q9300 CPU, 8GB Kingston DDRII RAM which can't take a lot of load. I have 4 XEN VPS's on there, which doesn't consume more than 4GBM RAM at this stage. Yet, the machine sky rockets at some times. I've moved the XEN VPS's to another server, with 4GM RAM, and it doesn't cause the same problems. So, apart from memtest86 how else can I stress test the server to find out what the problem is? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Installing CentOS security updates to RHEL machines? (RHN subscription expired)
by Alexander Farber 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hello, I hope my question is not annoying. I work as sysadmin at a 400 users firm and we have around 20 CentOS 4/5 servers and VMs and CentOS is awesome, thank you! However we have 4 important SAP-servers running RHEL5 and our RHN subscription has unforunately expired and buying it again is not an option right now. Installing CentOS is not an option too, because we'd have to pay for SAP-reinstall. Has anybody have been in a similar situation and figured out a good way to make "yum update" on RHEL machines to work against CentOS repositories? Regards Alex

Is there a utility such as rpmfind that exists for enterprise rpms? One could locate rpms from various repos e.g. - Centos base, extras, plus - EPEL - RPMForge - KBS repos Due to the requirement of a subscription, upstream or others like Oracle Unbreakable linux couldn't be listed.

installation help
by Kevin Kempter 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi All; I'm trying to instal CentOS on my new laptop but I've run into a few issues. It's a Dell Precision M6400 - I'm installing CentOS 5 (64bit) running KDE I have 3 issues: 1) I cannot get the wireless to work 2) I cannot get sound to work 3) I cannot get the full screen resolution I can go to administration --> display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can configure the display as a generic or as a Dell 1920x1200 but no matter what I choose the 'Settings' tab only lets me choose a max of 1400x1050 I can get the wireless and sound to work in Fedora 10 but I'm not sure how to tell specifically what devices they are.. I thought I could use Fedora 10 to help debug the sound & wireless. Thanks in advance for any help ...

IMAP rule problem
by Anne Wilson 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

I have a problem with local mail on this netbook. I'm sure it's something obvious, but I could use another brain's input. Fri, 2008-11-28 13:15:27 - TCP Packet - Source:192.168.0.7,58711 Destination:88.97.17.41,143 - [IMAP rule match] Fri, 2008-11-28 13:15:27 - TCP Packet - Source:192.168.0.7,58711 Destination:192.168.0.40,143 - [IMAP rule not match] The first one delivers mail through my Roaming profile, using googlemail's smtp. The second one sends to my own smtp server for local delivery, something that's happening all the time from other boxes. Since my brain is reluctant to get in gear over this, where should I be looking for the problem? Anne

That address (192.168.0.7) is a dhcp address, which must have been my laptop wifi connection, and since I had no wired connection at the time, if there had been anything really wrong I wouldn't have been able to use my mail, and I would have known about it.

isw_xxxxxxxx missing?
by Davide Cittaro 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

Hi all, I've installed CentOS 5.2 on a sun x2250. The installer goes fine and I can setup my root with lvm on /dev/ mapper/isw_xxxxxxxx_Volume0, that is the hardware RAID1 for two disks available. As the system boots lvm complains of a duplicate PV and decides to use /dev/sda, so the physical disk, not the raid device... I see with surprise that the raid device is missing! Needless to say, in a couple of days and reboots I've completely messed up the filesystem and the bootloader... Is there a way to fix this? d

Correct way to change I/O scheduler in a iSCSI dev
by Santi Saez 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi, What's the correct way to change configuration parameters for an iSCSI device? For example I/O scheduler, max_sectors_kb, etc... I could add commands to the S99local script: echo noop > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler echo 64 > /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb Unfortunately, iSCSI device names might change from sdb to, say, sdc (server reboot, iSCSI target reconnection). If this happens, customizations would be lost or applied to a different device. Any workaround for this using centOS? sysctl, udev, anything else? It also may be applied to Fiber Channel devices.. Thanks! -- Santi Saez http://woop.es

Subject pretty much says it all. I want the 5.2 without the xen kernel. I've grabbed bits from 2 different mirrors and they all appear to have xen on them. It would be very nice if someone could throw some text into the mirrors file to differentiate the two "versions".. Oh yeah, I need the x86_64 .iso. Thanks Sam

OT: bash script for passwd and shadow manipulation
by Erick Perez 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi, i need to extract some information from the /etc/passwd file to be used as a command input in a mail software. My /etc/passwd looks like: k.thomas:x:1918:100:Kimaura Thomas:/home/users/k.thomas:/bin/usersh My main issue here is that the fifth field contains spaces and spanish chars with accent. I currently do not posess the skill to understand how to use cut to extract all the field. So far, cut returns the name up to the space, so in this case it will return Kimaura and not Kimaura Thomas. Can you please point me to internet examples of tools (sed, awk, grep or cut) that will help me accomplish this, or maybe provide the code? And here is the code (not the best...im still learninng..) #!/bin/bash # Passwd to Zimbra import # This script modifies the displayName field in the Zimbra mailserver # This script will parse /etc/passwd and extracts field 1 and field 5 # field 1 is the username. # field 5 is the name in long format of the username # # domain="oj.gob.pa" # file="zimbranames.file" # x=0 # echo ''>$file # # for linia in `cat /etc/passwd` # do # user=`echo $linia|cut -f1 -d":"` # nombre=`echo $linia|cut -f5 -d":"` # echo "zmprov ma $user@$domain displayName $nombre">>$file # x=$[x+1] # done # echo "$x accounts exported to \"$PWD/$file\"" # sleep 5 Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez ------------------------------------------------------------

OT: Testing copytruncate
by Gerhardus.Geldenhuis＠gta-travel.com 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi I am trying to simulate the behaviour when a file gets copy-truncated or any other option selected in logrotate. As a start, I have written a quick script to create values in a file at high rate. #!/usr/bin/perl open FILE, ">testdata" or die $!; for (my $i = 1; $i <= 10000000; $i++){ print FILE "$i\n"; # sleep 1; } close FILE and a logrotate.conf file that rotates the file /home/blah/testfileopen/testdata { copytruncate daily rotate 2 size=10M } It works but the copy truncate messes up the file the application is writing to... or it might be my simplistic perl script. I can't to a head on the testdata file. A hexdump reveals some strange errors which I believe is the cause of the problems, why I dont know. 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 * 1028000 3232 3635 3235 0a31 3232 3635 3235 0a32 1028010 3232 3635 3235 0a33 3232 3635 3235 0a34 The truncated file is fine and is perfectly readable. So I have two questions really: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Given a well written program what is the potential data loss if any when doing a copy truncate logrotate. and * why does the file get such strange entries when truncated and is there an easy fix for it?

Yum weirdness
by Sorin Srbu 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi all, Running CentOS 5.2 x86. Tried to do a yum update on the command line a while ago and an error stating "No module named yum" popped up. I then tried importing the yum module by first entering "python" in a terminal window and then "import yum", for which I was rewarded with a "ImportError: No module named yum". Then I downloaded a yum rpm-package via pbone.net. I got this one http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/8092652/com/yum-3.2.8-9.el5.cen… and then did an rpm -Uvh on the rpm-file, then tried running yum again with no success. I still got the no module named yum-message. I further did a rpm -q yum* and was told that the above rpm wasn't installed, so I redid the install but added --force, but yum still gives the error message. Running rpm -V yum* rpm* python* gives package yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1.noarch.rpm is not installed package rpm* is not installed package python* is not installed Which is kinda weird, unless I'm missing something really obvious... On a hunch I ran yum extender from the startmenu, or whatever it's called in CentOS, and this works. It says yum v3.2.8 IIRC is invoked. I got a list of updated packages, the ones Karanbir announced recently and they installed fine w/o any problem. Yum has run fine when I used it about three-four weeks ago. Same problem is seen on three of my workstations. The fourth, a server running the latest x86-PAE kernel runs yum just fine on the command line. The answers I find searching the web more or less replicates the above steps I've already done, so I'm kind off at a loss here on what to do next to have yum on the command-line working. Can you guys help?

The system is CentOS 5.2 and is not connected to the internet, serves as a local LAN server running stock stuff...sendmail, dovecot, apache..nothing strange or special going on. I have additional HDDs available if growing the partition is in order (would appreciate pointers to that, if applicable), but I'm really stumped as to where the space is being eaten up. Thanks in advance, -Ray My layout is: #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 131G 130G 0 100% / /dev/sdc1 271G 156G 102G 61% /home /dev/sdd1 271G 4.5G 253G 2% /home/905 /dev/sda1 99M 29M 66M 31% /boot tmpfs 442M 0 442M 0% /dev/shm # cat /etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home/905 /home/905 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 # cat /etc/mtab /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /home/905 ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0

enable repo download and save but no install
by Jerry Geis 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Is there a way to enable a repo, and ask it to download a package and all dependencies and save these files to a given directory then some time later execute a command to install those files that were saved. Is that possible? I would like to take a snapshot of something like VLC on dag and always install those same vlc packages and dependencies that were saved locally. Not go out over the net and install them the next time. I'm not concerned about updates to this package. Jerry

Looking for an application to work with Centos
by John Plemons 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

I'm looking for a application, and or ideas on how to .... Set up a web page that can be cataloged by search engines capturing all of the part numbers in a db. This page would be tied to a MySql or other Linux DB so that people can also do a basic on site part number search.. We have 150,000 different part numbers, we would like all 150,000 picked up by the different search engines. Can anyone come up with any ideas?? The platform is a basic P4 running Centos 5, disk space isn't much of an issue, I have 100 gig available for the application. The only other application on the machine is a picture server for off site auctions, so CPU load isn't major factor. Thanks, john

tightvnc server fails to start
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

I tried to use tightvnc back in August and had some help, but I stopped due to IPv6 support. Now I am back at tightvnc and cannot get the server started. This is on a new Centos install that did have regular vncserver working on it (I did a yum erase vnc-server first). So I have a working /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and my user has the appropriate ~/.vnc files that worked with regular vnc. Logged in as root, I issue: service vncserver start and get: Starting TightVNC remote administration daemon (Xvnc):2:root WARNING: initlog is deprecated and will be removed in a future vncserver: The USER environment variable is not set. [FAILED] But there is a USER environment variable set: set|grep USER PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}"; echo -ne "\007"' USER=root (remember, I am logged in as root so I can issue the service command) And further in /etc/profile I have: if [ -x /usr/bin/id ]; then USER="`id -un`" LOGNAME=$USER MAIL="/var/spool/mail/$USER" fi The only line in the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers is: VNCSERVERS="2:user" where user is the userid.

PPTP VPN server
by "Germán Andrés Pulido F." 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi I've been using linux to give VPN access to my corporate LAN using the following software: Centos 5.2 x86 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen pptpd (poptop) 1.3.4 ppp 2.4.4 The Centos server has directly connected the Internet Router, on one interface (eth1) and the LAN on another (eth0) and it works as the firewall/VPN server of my LAN. It mostly works, however, if I try to connect using remote desktop (terminal services) to our windows domain controller (for example, it will happen with any windows server) the Centos server will just reboot. I can connect to the windows, authenticate, and work for about 5-10 seconds before the linux reboots. It's not a friendly reboot, it just crashes and restarts. This linux is running virtualized with xenserver express, and the windows domain controller is running as another virtual machine in the same physical computer. I've updated the CentOS server, using yum update but it will still crash. I tried installing pptpd from source, but still crashes the same way. I googled a bit, and somebody said it had a similar issue but solved it lowering the MTU in the WAN interface of the VPN server. I did it, but nothing helped. I've searched bug reports on this, but there seems to be none. Any idea what can I do to fix this? or does anybody know another good VPN server for linux? (I know about openvpn and using ipsec+xl2tpd but these require additional software on the client or are not very linux-friendly). My main requiements for the VPN server are: - it should require no additional software on the windows clients (Vista and XP currently) - it should work fine with Mac OS X and linux clients - if posible, not very hard to setup ;) Thanks a lot, and sorry for the long post. -- Cordialmente, GERMAN ANDRES PULIDO F.

Trouble Donating on centos.org
by Kurt Hansen 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hello, I tried making a donation via the centos.org website but was blocked by PayPal. I tried today and a few weeks ago. The error I got in both instances was: "The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number." This strikes me as a strange response. It didn't say the card was declined; it said it "cannot be used." Also, the response was awfully quick so it didn't seem to be from the credit card processor, but from PayPal. I setup e-commerce sites so am very familiar with on-line credit card processing. Also, I just used this card online a couple of days ago successfully, and I know I have plenty of available credit. Has anybody else gotten an error like this? I suspect PayPal is blocking this, not my credit card company. I suspect, too, PayPal is doing this to reduce their own costs rather than protect centos.org or me from a fraudulent transaction. I have a PayPal account that was set up a few years back as a test based on a PayPal offer to me, have never used beyond setting up, but which PayPal has suspended. I'm not interested in using this account nor jumping through the hoops they require. I may have entered this credit card in that account. I suspect PayPal is blocking this credit card number to push me to re-open my PayPal account. Am I just being paranoid? Take care, Kurt Hansen

Getting a disk driver from 3ware installed.
by Steve Campbell 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

We are having a little problem with a raid array, and it appears that the disk driver may be at fault. A disk driver for the kernel we are running, 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.i386, has been downloaded from 3ware's site. The only documentation included says to run "linux dd". I'm assuming this is at the boot prompt upon startup, and not installation (I hope). I have found some old threads about this for Centos 4, but it kinda drifted away and never really gave much info on what to do with the files that were downloaded. Can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do with this downloaded zipped file to get it to use the driver, please? Thanks Steve Campbell

adduser vs. useradd
by Niki Kovacs 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi, To add a user to the system on the commandline, I usually use the adduser command. # adduser newuser And that's it. I've been using that command probably out of an old habit, since I've been a long-time Slackware user before. But now I wanted to dig a bit deeper, and some details puzzle me. Whereas on Slackware, 'adduser' is an interactive shell script to create a user so that basically you don't have to memorize all the 'useradd' switches, CentOS' 'adduser' is a mere symbolic link to 'useradd'. But when I add a new user (# adduser newuser), I don't use any switches, say to specify the shell, the home directory, the password expiration delay, etcetera. I understand that it is Red Hat (CentOS) tradition to create a separate group for each user. For example, user kikinovak also belongs to a group kikinovak. And when I create a new user 'newuser', the 'newuser' group also got somehow created. Plus, the new user also seems to have his own user profile, with a default .bashrc and so on. My only explanation for that is that CentOS' 'useradd' command doesn't work like the traditional UNIX useradd command and uses a few switches by default. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Any light on this? Niki

Dell PE2970 with ATI RN50
by James Bensley 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hey Guys, I'm having a few troubles trying to get Cent OS 5.2 displaying correctly on my Dell PowerEdge 2970 (I also have two PowerVault NF500 III's but they are just getting a little screen lag at the minute, the 2970 is getting white artifacts when I drag a window!). Can anyone help me locate and correctly install some drivers. The 2970 has an onbaord ATI RN50 as its an AMD board/CPU combo thus its RN50 chipset. I have look at the Dell website for Red Hat 5 drivers but there aren't any for video? Would the Red Hat 4 drivers be OK? Also, I rang ATI and they said try going back to the Dell and installing the general Chip set drivers as that would probably include the onbaord graphics? I could do with some help on this one as I have never had to install drivers for a Linux OS before as I normalaly work with Linux on workstations which is always straight forward. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. regards, James. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT/MU/U dpu s: a--> C++>$ U+> L++> B-> P+> E?> W+++>$ N K W++ O M++>$ V- PS+++ PE++ Y+ PGP t 5 X+ R- tv+ b+> DI D+++ G+ e(+++++) h--(++) r++ z++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------

bioinformatics repository?

Hi all, I'm new to Centos, just moved here from Gentoo Linux.

I'm googling a bit but I can't find a valuable solution: which is (or which are) the best repository I should add to have a satisfying list of bioinfo rpm?

XFS or JFS on CentOS 5?
by Ray Van Dolson 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi folks... trying to pick between jfs and xfs for a filesystem. In the past we've used jfs with CentOS + centosplus, however, an older post indicated that this may not be the best choice as the version of jfs included with the centosplus kernel would only be as new as the version that was included in the 2.6.18 kernel as RH doesn't backport fixes... It looks like xfs isn't part of the centosplus kernel, but instead is provided as a kmod -- so I'm thinking it might be the better choice based purely on the fact that it's likely to be current. Is my understanding correct there? What would stop us from building a kmod-jfs against the latest jfs from the up-upstream kernel and not building jfs.ko in the centosplus kernel at all? It looks like jfsutils is a fairly recent version... Thanks, Ray

Skype vs. CentOS: no outgoing sound
by Niki Kovacs 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi, I've spent the best part of a sunny afternoon trying to get Skype to work on my CentOS 5 desktop. My soundcard seems configured OK. I can play sounds and hear them OK in my headset: $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav I can record speech from my microphone OK: $ arecord > ~/test.wav ... although I have to say that sound quality seems rather poor. It's quite fuzzy. Other detail: curiously when I speak into the microphone I don't hear my own voice in the headset. I've installed the CentOS RPM from skype.com, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to have outgoing sound. Whenever I do a test call (echo123), there's no message left. I've been jumping through burning loops giving all the options and their possible permutations a shot, to no avail. Though curiously that thing worked on a Linux Mint 5 install. But then, I won't change distro because of one small detail. Any suggestions? Niki

Correctly setting up sound with Intel High Definition ICH7
by Niki Kovacs 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi, Earlier this day I started a thread about Skype not working with outgoing sound. Now I wonder if it's not a problem with my soundcard. I had a vague suspicion about this, but since it's way off the original topic, I decided to start a new thread about this. Here's what the soundcard looks like: [root@grossebertha etc]# lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) Actually plain sound (output) works OK. I can use XMMS, MPlayer, VLC and the likes without any problem. On the other hand, when I try to record sound over the soundcard, the result is quite fuzzy, full of distortions. I tried to fiddle with alsamixer to get rid of the distortions, but to no avail. Here's what I did to record sound over the mic: $ arecord > ~/test.wav Now in the past I configured a laptop with an ICH sound card on it, a small ASUS. I spent like whole afternoons googling and searching through forums, until some day I stumbled over the solution. I had to add something to /etc/modprobe.conf, something like: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=3stack ... and all of a sudden sound worked. Now maybe there is also a magic line for my new machine (a lenovo desktop PC) that makes the soundcard work correctly for the microphone? But where do I get that information? Guesswork? Google again for a week? Searching for "centos intel high definition sound" doesn't show much. Cheers, Niki

USB printer goes into disconnected state when low-power mode enabled
by Mark Hull-Richter 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

I've mentioned this before, here, but with a laser printer connected via the lp0 port. I have a new laser printer, a Brother HL2140, that normally works just fine when installed using the CUPS interface per OpenPrinting's instructions (with one minor modification I had to add because the base driver without the CUPS installation did not work. Every so often, which actually appears to be every time the printer goes into power-saver mode, when I try to print something, I get this response in lpstat -t: [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ lpstat -t scheduler is running no system default destination device for HL2140: usb://Brother/HL-2140 series device for HPOJ4315: hp:/usb/Officejet_4300_series?serial=CN7AJH318W04GQ HL2140 accepting requests since Sun 23 Nov 2008 02:38:56 PM PST HPOJ4315 accepting requests since Sun 07 Sep 2008 12:52:14 AM PDT printer HL2140 now printing HL2140-2188. enabled since Sun 23 Nov 2008 02:38:56 PM PST Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds... printer HPOJ4315 is idle. enabled since Sun 07 Sep 2008 12:52:14 AM PDT HL2140-2188 root 18432 Sun 23 Nov 2008 02:38:56 PM PST At one point, through some strange combination of: System->Administration->Printers Disable the printer cancel the print job (sometimes) disconnect the printer (USB cable out) power down the printer power the printer back on and wait for it to come ready reconnect the printer re-enable the printer liberally sprinkled with 30 second waits, I used to be able to get the printer to come back on line and print. Now I can't seem to get the <censored> thing to come back at all. Any suggestions on what to do to make this work? I suppose I could reboot, but that _really_ defeats the purpose of using a USB printer in the first place. FTR, I also have an HP OfficeJet 4315 on a USB connection to the same system, and I _never_ have this problem with it. I'm running CentOS 5.2 x86_64 with all the latest updates, using the printer drivers from the OpenPrinting online database: brhl2140lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm cupswrapperHL2140-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm Stumped. mhr

CentOS on HP EliteBook 6930 or Dell Latitude e6400
by Kurt Hansen 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hello, I'm considering the HP EliteBook 6930 or the Dell Latitude e6400 notebooks for CentOS. I'm planning on using these in a situation in which they are always on, and I want low power and low noise and high reliability. HP claims up to 24 hours battery power and Dell up to 19 hours. I figure this can bridge the gap for most power outages in my neighborhood. I realize that I won't get these hours running CentOS, but these two seem best of breed, so they give me the most margin. I'm also planning on getting a SSD (Solid State Drive) on them. I've found folks on the Web who've put the latest Ubuntu on each with few problems, but very little mention of other distributions. Actually, I couldn't find any mention of other distributions. Is there anything that should concern me about putting CentOS on either of these? Has anyone done it? Note that I plan to turn wireless networking off so I'd be happy if it doesn't work. Also, I don't care about the screen performance. I figure these are the two most likely areas of compatibility concern, but the SSD has me a little concerned, too. Thanks for your help! Take care, Kurt Hansen

Cluster fail over database getting stopped
by linux-crazy 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hi, I am running RHEL3u8 two node cluster,which is running oracle 9i database.I am facing problem while rebooting second node causing my oracle database get stopped in the active node 1 which is running my database.so i checked below probabilities to find out when the database get stopped. Version clumanager-1.2.31-1.x86_64.rpm I stopped both the node. started first node when the clumanager started during boot cycle on node 2 database running on node 1 get stopped(checked my oracle alert log telling the database get stopped exactly at the same time clumanager started on node 2) After that When i run clustat on node 1 its telling the service(database) is running. I am using /etc/init.d/scriptdb.sh in my cluster config file which is having both start.stop and status check. test 2: I stopped both the node and started the node 2 first and waited for 30 minutes. oracle was up and running by default on node 2 (clumanger started oracle service) started node 1 after 20 minutes when the clumanager started during boot cycle on node 1 database running on node 2 get stopped(checked my oracle alert log telling the database get stopped exactly at the same time clumanager started on node 1) After that When i run clustat on node 2 its telling the service(database) is running. Test2: If cluster relocate the service automatically by itself form node 1 to node 2 or node 2 to node 1 for some reason during the critical day time my database is not getting up during fail over on both the nodes. Test 3: If i manually relocate the service from node 1 to node 2 and vice versa my database is not getting stopped and it is working fine. Please some one help me to fix out this issue ,it is my critical production database.

syslog remote computers
by Craig White 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Trying to figure out if there's a way to get syslog.conf to direct remote logging from a wireless access point to log to a separate file instead of the main syslog and can't figure out how that could be done from man syslog.conf (or man 2/3 of syslog) this clearly doesn't work 192.168.1.251.* /var/log/WAP-2.log which according to the man page, makes sense since this the IP address is not a facility. Is there a way to do this that I am missing? Craig

kbs-CentOS-Testing gnucash: status for CentOS 5?
by William L. Maltby 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

I decided I would like to try GnuCash on my 5.x desktop system. I did an available list and got this gnucash.i386 2.2.4-1.el5.kb kbs-CentOS-Testi gnucash-docs.noarch 2.2.0-2.el5.kb kbs-CentOS-Testi Did a yum --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing install gnucash\* That produced Package gnucash-docs-2.2.0-2.el5.kb.noarch.rpm is not signed I figured I had forgot to install the gpg key, so I did that. Well, now I have to instances of that key. When I try to remove one copy, # rpm -e gpg-pubkey-3e13cf5b-422eea1c error: "gpg-pubkey-3e13cf5b-422eea1c" specifies multiple packages I tried removing the /var/lib/rpm/__* and rebuild, but no help. Still have two instances of the key. Any way to clean that without a remove and reinstall of all the keys? Anyway, a search of the archives has an entry indicating that gnucash was available for CentOS 4.x, but nada about 5. Am I too early on this? Anyhoo, figuring that docs could be addressed later, I then foolishly (need more coffee?) did yum --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing install --exclude=gnucash-docs \ gnucash which, of course produced Error: Missing Dependency: gnucash-docs >= 2.2.0 is needed by package gnucash-2.2.4-1.el5.kb.i386 (kbs-CentOS-Testing) Undaunted, I figured to download via yum and force installation with nodeps (hmm, yum --downloadonly didn't work. Nothing in the docs about that though. Did yumdownloader --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing gnucash-docs and that worked) Then rpm --install --nodeps gnucash-docs-2.2.0-2.el5.kb.noarch.rpm worked, but gave I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd The docs were installed though AFAICT. ISTR seeing stuff similar to this with other packages in the dim past. Don't recall any solutions though. I wonder if there's a way to suppress that activity. I don't particularly care for packages that require on-line references for local and potentially sensitive work. I'm thinking there might be a configuration file I could modify because I see some similar files already on the system. I'll pursue that later if I get gnucash installed. Back to the primary task, did yum --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing install gnucash That produced Package gwenhywfar-2.6.2-2.el5.kb.i386.rpm is not signed At that point I felt maybe I was a bit premature as I had already confirmed that I had the gpg key installed. Any words of wisdom for me? If I don't need to worry about the signing issues, I guess I could download and install all with --nodeps. Good/bad idea? Anything I might do to help the process along? I've not done any rpm work, so it might take awhile if there is anything too technical. I'm going to fire up my 4.x and see if it works there. I can muddle through there, with a small amount of inconvenience. But that might be worth it. Before I forget, thanks to you and all the crew for the hard work that benefits us all. TIA -- Bill

howto transfer all configuration between 2 remote dedicated servers?
by Joe Barjo 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Hello I'm willing to change my dedicated server hosting provider, and transfer my existing server to the new one. I don't have kvm access, but both servers are centos5.2 I can boot a network image that is debian based and have access to the disk. Then I tried to rsync -a my first server to the destination host, but it was not reachable from the network (I modified /etc/fstab and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for the destination server). I also copied /boot including grub configuration... (both are using grub) As I don't have a kvm, I don't know why it is not reachable from net. So I would like to get the list of all rpms (rpm -qa) install them to the new server, then copy all files that were added/modifed Most packages should be still in the yum cache, but I'm not sure. For the rpm -qa I think there should be some special flags to get an output that would be yum compatible? But my real question is: How can I get a list of files in the whole filesystem that were added or modified compared to all the files that come from rpms? Is there a script for doing such a thing? Thanks

finding a needed Aramaic font
by Michael A. Peters 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Not CentOS specific, but ... I'm trying to load a web page with some ancient Aramaic text. I have some Aramaic fonts installed, but I think they are for modern Aramaic. I've tried installing several different ttf fonts, but I still get boxes with numbers in them - IE 07 17 07 3D etc. Does anyone know of a resource where I can input those hex codes (I assume they are really 0717 and 073D) and find what ttf fonts would cover those characters? I'm guessing they are from an Aramaic script font. Is there maybe an existing font in CentOS or EPEL that I might try?

My guys, My firewall seems to block an attack my Centos / Sendmail boxes on port 110. These servers require a reboot after each attack. My firewall says it's blocked?

Force close on unattended SSH/SFTP connections
by Yanagisawa, Koji 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Dear CentOS people, I'm sure many have faced this before but I can't seem to figure this out. I need unattended OpenSSH and its SFTP connections to be closed after a while (say, in 10 minutes). This needs to override anything that could be done from the client side (ServerAliveInterval or keepalives a program like PuTTY can send). I kind of understand it's not always easy to know when the client side is "unattended," but I'd like to know where people drew the line and what people did in the past. ClientAliveInterval only seem to help reap connections when the client side is unreachable, so this doesn't really help. TMOUT in shell achieves what I want with SSH, but this doesn't help with SFTP. Setting net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes to 0 kind of does what I want (ServerAliveInterval ruins it), and I'm not sure if that's generally accepted practice. If this could be achieved in OpenSSH, that would be great, but if it needs to be some other way I'll be glad to find out... Your insight appreciated,

tcpdump
by Joseph L. Casale 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

I have an issue with only a few domains sending mail to a company's exchange server. Topology is as follows: Internet -> PIX -> logical interface / vlan -> HP switch (interface tagged into applicable vlan) -> ESXi server -> vm (ASSP/CentOS Postfix MTA) -> HP switch (out of vlan) -> physical HP server with E2003. Mail comes in, ASSP logs it, postfix logs it, queues it, attempts delivery to my exchange server and somewhere com gets mangled. I can't tell what's wrong at the postfix side, but the exchange server doesn't even log it despite the mail getting queued and released? How can I dump this interaction and more specifically sort it to see only that transaction. Server is busy, there would be a lot of data on a continuous dump. Given the topology there is room for much issues and I don't doubt the issue being from ESX forward (seen silly network issues on ESX before). Thanks for any input! jlc

Migration from VMWare to HP Blade
by Matthew Walster 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Hi all, A few months ago, I migrated some of our internal servers to HP blades, as the VMWare box they were previously running on was getting too slow. However, it wasn't without it's problems, and eventually the only way I could get them to work was: Install the same version of CentOS on the blade (believed to be 5.0, but /etc/redhat-release says 5.2) Took down both servers, booting them off the SystemRescueCD, mounting all the partition on /mnt/transfer etc Ran rsync to copy all the data from one to the other - except /boot and /lib/modules Brought the blade up, and saw that it booted fine. However, a new kernel has been released and we tried rebooting... And it panicked. It seems to be LVM related, in that it can't mount /dev/root - and I've tried manually running mkinitrd to regenerate the initrd to no avail. I was just wondering if anyone had encountered similar problems, and knew of any solutions? I'm from a debian background, so am a little unused to certain aspects - when a yum upgrade installs a new kernel, where does it pull the information for boot from? A configuration stanza from within grub's menu.lst? Regards, Matthew Walster

I use qemu-kvm on a Centos 5.2 server to run Windows XP virtually. Usually a new kmod-kvm packages is released shortly after a kernel update, and yum updates them both very nicely.

Why noapic acpi=off on new Centos 4.6 system?
by tony＠softins.clara.co.uk 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

I just installed CentOS 4.6 (because I had 4.6 media handy) on a new system, which has a SuperMicro PDSMi mobo with an E4600 CPU. I then did yum update to get to 4.7, although I don't think that's relevant to my query. I wondered why "shutdown -h" would not power down the system. I then also discovered that the soft power button did not initiate a switch to runlevel 0 to do a controlled shutdown. When I looked in grub.conf, I discovered that the installer had included the boot parameters "noapic acpi=off". I removed them and rebooted, and then found that both soft shutdown from the power button and the final poweroff worked fine. I haven't stressed the system yet, but it seems to boot and run fine. My question is (at last): why did the installer decide it necessary to include "noapic acpi=off"? Previous installs of CentOS on other hardware have not done that.

Maybe a dumb question, but....
by Sam Drinkard 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Folks, I am totally ignorant about xen, and while I've been doing a little reading, I've not yet figured out if xen is running under CentOS or if CentOS is running under xen on this 5.2 version of CentOS. I do know that the whole system from the user standpoint is way slower than it was under 4.7. Heck, I can't even find much on what to do with xen, much less figure out how to use it. Question... is there a kernel for 5.2 that does not have xen built into it, and if so, where is it? Perhaps someone can give me a short tutorial about its value or use, or point me to a place where it's use is described in lay terms? I'm very comfortable with CentOS, but this is a whole 'nother ball game ! Thanks.. Sam

qlogic driver not scanning scsi bus on load CentOS 5.1
by nate 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Very strange behavior, been banging my head against the wall on this one too. It works fine on CentOS 4.6, the behavior is when the driver loads the bus is not scanned or at least the devices that are exported are not detected. (they are detected in the HBA bios no problem). If I issue the qlogic bus scan command it doesn't get anything back either. If I manually add the devices with "scsi add-single-device" they immediately pop up. I am new to using FC on CentOS 5.x with 4.x it was so easy perhaps I should just stick to what works. Filing a support case with my vendors as well though not sure how much help they'll end up being. Running a "QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA". Tried both the drivers from qlogic's site and the ones that ship with CentOS. Once the devices are detected everything works fine. Though I don't want to hard code the "scsi add-single-device" commands into my startup scripts if I can avoid it, rather use CentOS 4.6 instead. Anyone seen this kind of behavior before? thanks nate

how to debug hardware lockups?
by Rudi Ahlers 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Hi, We have a server which locks up about once a week (for the past 3 weeks now), without any warning, and the only way to recover it, is to reset the server. This causes unwanted downtime, and often software loss as well. How do I debug the server, which runs CentOS 5.2 to see why it locks up? The CPU is an Intel Q9300 Core 2 Quad, with 8 GB RAM, on an Intel Motherboard The last few entries before the server froze, is: Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:59008 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:59008 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:47729 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:47729 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:47890 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:47890 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:50023 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:50023 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:58459 Nov 15 07:15:20 saturn snmpd[2527]: Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:58459 Nov 15 10:10:10 saturn syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

CentOS/RHEL, PHP and zip archives
by David G. Miller 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

I'm trying to get bulk photo uploads working with a Drupal web site. The person who coded the Drupal photos module I'm using decided to use a zip archive as a means of batching together a collection of picture files for a bulk upload. Apache is reporting the following PHP error when the bulk upload feature is used: [Sun Nov 16 22:05:38 2008] [error] [client 192.168.0.192] PHP Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /var/www/fraud/html/davesBlog/sites/all/modules/photos/photos.module on line 1375, referer: http://davenjudy.org/davesBlog/node/39/photos The PHP code at line 1375 in photos.module is an unremarkable instantiation of the zip archive handling object. Some Google searches indicate that zip archive handling is a compile time option of PHP and lack of it would cause this error. Running php -i tells me that the CentOS/RHEL PHP was not built with the --enable-zip configuration option. Does anyone know of a way to get PHP to correctly handle zip archives short of rebuilding my PHP installation from the source RPM with --enable-zip as a configuration option?

Promise EX16650 under 5.2?
by Gordon McLellan 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Does anyone have experience using the Supertrak EX16650 sas controller under Centos 5.2? The Promise website claims RHEL 5.2 support was added Sept '08. I figure the card might very well be detected, but how about the management gui - it appears to use some sort of web interface, but the card has no ethernet jack, so it must rely on some special driver to access this? Any information is appreciated. I'm not finding much under google regarding this card and redhat (or centos), so either it's rather new, or unpopular, or just doesn't have problems so no one complains? Thanks, Gordon.

noauto option ignored in CentOS 5.1?
by nate 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

I have worked quite a bit with CentOS 4.x with SAN, multipathing, LVM etc. The way I mount my file systems is using a script that is called during startup that runs fsck, imports the physical volumes, and volume groups, activates the logical volumes, creates the mount point if needed then mounts the volume, I mainly made it for software iSCSI due to the iscsi stack loading after the system mount process. I adapted it to my fiber channel systems as well and it worked great(mainly so I could have a consistent experience between FC and iSCSI). In testing with CentOS 5.1 it seems that my entries in /etc/fstab that are marked "noauto" are still infact queried when the system boots (before multipathing, etc fires up). These devices don't exist at the time which causes the boot to halt(so I can fsck the file system manually). I have worked around it by commenting out the line in fstab, and just adjusting my script to look for the commented line, but this never happened under CentOS 4.x, seems like a bug ? I peeked at Red Hat's bugzilla but didn't see much. If so I can file one.. thanks nate

L2ARC (disk caching) for Linux?
by Ray Van Dolson 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

First off; are there any storage-centric mailing lists that target Linux specifically? Secondly, I'm wondering if there's anything in the works or already out there similar to Sun's L2ARC[1] for ZFS. Basically this is a filesystem (or maybe lower-level) cache for reads, writes that can be comprised of faster media like SSD. I think it could make SATA-based JBOD solutions a lot more attractive from a performance perspective. Anything out there along these lines already or suggestions on a better place to dig for information? Ray [1] http://blogs.sun.com/brendan/entry/test

New installation woes
by Sam Drinkard 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

I've just installed CentOS 5.2 for the x86_64 on a SuperMicro X6DA8-G board with two 250g SATA drives configured in the bios as a raid 1 array. After getting the base installed, I've tried to yum update the system and I wind up with these errors.... --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.14(libmysqlclient_14)(64bit) is needed by package perl-DBD-mysql Error: Missing Dependency: libgsf-1.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package libwpd Error: Missing Dependency: libneon.so.24()(64bit) is needed by package subversion Error: Missing Dependency: libaprutil-0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package subversion Error: Missing Dependency: libpq.so.3()(64bit) is needed by package perl-DBD-Pg Error: Missing Dependency: libapr-0.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package subversion Error: Missing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package nfs-utils Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.14()(64bit) is needed by package perl-DBD-mysql I'd like to think that out of the box centos would at least update without a bunch of missing dependencies.

CentOS 5.2 with IBM SERVERAID 6i
by miguelmedalha＠sapo.pt 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

I need to install CentOS 5.2 on a IBM Server xSeries 226, which comes with a IBM SERVERAID 6i RAID card. I think it is not a true hardware RAID card. I has, nevertheless, an interesting feature: 128MB of cache with battery backup. I launched the CentOS boot DVD and CentOS correctly identified the card and the RAID 5 array as configured by the controller's BIOS. My question now is: what would be the better way to implement RAID 5 on this server? Should I use the detected array and respective driver or should I delete the array and go for Linus Software RAID? If both solutions are in fact Software RAID, is there any particular reason to prefer one of the methods? I know that Linux RAID will create a universal, more compatible array, readable on any Linux machine. But is there some other reason that makes it preferrable to use the SERVERAID driver provided by CentOS? Is it optimized in any way that recommends its use? Will the controller still make use of its cache and battery backup if configured as a plain SCSI controller with Linux Software RAID? I hope that some more experienced list member can ellucidate me on this. Thank you! PS - The machine is powered by a Intel P4 Xeon processor served by 2.5GB of RAM. The disks are 3 IBM 10K rpm SCSI 320 with 73 GB each.

kickstart install on SAN with multipath
by nate 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Using CentOS 5.1, though with a few hours work I could update to 5.2.. I can install to SAN with a single path no problem but I'd like to be able to use dm-multipath. From the kickstart docs it seems this is supported but there is no information as to what the various options mean http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-opti… -- multipath (optional) multipath --name= --device= --rule= -- I have a multipath.conf which works fine when I install to local disk, I'm not sure what I should put in the options above, perhaps something like multipath --name=mpath0 --device=sda --device=sdb --rule= ??? Done tons of searches and can't find anything. Any idea what "rule" would map to in multipath.conf ? I've even installed the anaconda package and grepped through the code and can't find anything useful. thanks nate

Clean serial console setup when using an USB to serial converter
by David Knecht 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hello all, I'd like to connect to a CentOS 5.2 system's console through a null-modem cable. An USB to serial converter is connected to that system's USB port. When using this configuration statement in "/etc/inittab"... ... # Run gettys on serial line (that is, a serial line connected to USB0) usb0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyUSB0 9600 vt100 ... ...I get these messages if (and only if) the converter is *not* connected to the system (thus, if no ttyUSB0 device has been dynamically created): Nov 18 15:58:41 anyvizor init: Id "usb0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Nov 18 16:05:22 anyvizor init: Id "usb0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Nov 18 16:12:03 anyvizor init: Id "usb0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Apart from that, connectivity to the serially attached console works fine of the serial line is connected. Obviously, I would like to have a clean setup without any errors where this kind of console setup works like a charm. As a workaround (since I did not get any further on an inittab-based solution), I tried to configure udev to spawn "/sbin/agetty -L ttyUSB0 9600 vt100" once the converter gets connected. This is my udev configuration: [root@anyvizor rules.d]# pwd /etc/udev/rules.d [root@anyvizor rules.d]# cat 10-custom.rules BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*" SYMLINK+="usb_attached_console" SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/etc/udev/scripts/respawn_usb_attached_console.sh" [root@anyvizor rules.d]# [root@anyvizor scripts]# pwd /etc/udev/scripts [root@anyvizor scripts]# cat respawn_usb_attached_console.sh #!/bin/env sh getty_command_line="/sbin/agetty -L usb_attached_console 9600 vt100" while [[ -e /dev/usb_attached_console && $(/usr/bin/pgrep -xf "${getty_command_line}" | /usr/bin/wc --lines) -eq 0 ]] do eval "${getty_command_line}" done [root@anyvizor scripts]# Again, connectivity to the serially attached console works fine once the system is up and running. However, the system does not pass the Starting udev... message displayed on the console (here, I mean the normal console screen, not the serially attached console) if (and only if) the USB to serial converter is connected when booting. The boot process continues fine once the converter gets disconnected. Any hints for an inittab-based as well as an udev-based solution (or another concept to achieve the same result) is very welcome! Thanks, David

HW issue during instalaltion
by Philip Manuel 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi All, I have a shuttle SN78SH7 with a Seagate ST31500341AS (1.5Tb) drive. With windows Vista it sees the drive and can install to it. So far with GRML or CentOS5.2 they do not seem to be able to see this drive. Is there a particular setting I need or does CentOS not support installation to these drives yet ? Thanks for your help Phil
