When I enable logging = 5 (medium) in logwatch, I get my cron log updates but hourly as well which is to frequent? How can I get cron log updates in the once-daily logwatch I am used to when logging is set to low? Thanks! jlc

Is there a way in the %post section of install to continue to have the VT3 logging but also log that to a file. Somehow using tee perhaps? I have found --log=/tmp/post-install.log but then that shows nothing on VT3. I would like to have both if possible. Log to VT and a file. THanks, Jerry

centos ldap client authentication
by Dave 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD openldap server set up and i'd like to authenticate to it with a centos 5.1 client. The server is also acting as a client itself and user access works fine from it. On the clientside I'm getting an error can not search ldap server, server is unavailable. This is with pam_ldap. I'm using tls encryption. On the client if i do: ldapsearch -xZ i get every entry in my directory. And if i do: ldapsearch -xZ -L '(uid=user)' i get a specific user out of it, so i'm concluding the error is in my /etc/ldap.conf file. I've added ldap to my nsswitch.conf file clientside to the passwd, shadow, and group lines. On the server i'm seeing a tls negotiation failure error msg and the client as i said can not search ldap server. Thanks. Dave.

Newer MySQL in centos-plus?
by J. Potter 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi List, I'm noticing that the CentOS-plus repo for 4.6 has MySQL 5.0.54 in it, but the CentOS 5.1 repo does not have a newer rpm, leaving the "newest" easily-available version as the vendor-provided mysql 5.0.22. Is there a reason for this? We're wanting to try a newer MySQL under CentOS 5.1 -- do any of the standard repos include such an RPM? Thanks! -Jeff

Just tried to install the Amazon-downloader on Centos 5.1 (the Fedora 8 version, which seems the closest match of any they offer). Of course it gets a bazillion unfulfilled dependencies. so I tried "yum localinstall ./a*m" and it trundles along for a while finding several of the packages available then spews out this: Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_date_time.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_signals.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_iostreams.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_thread-mt.so.3 is needed by package amazonmp3 Error: Missing Dependency: libcurl.so.4 is needed by package amazonmp3 Can anyone point me to a repo where I could find these?

pdflatex: fuzzy fonts in Evince, but not on paper output
by Niki Kovacs 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi, I've been using LaTeX for a few years on Mac OS X, and I'd like to use it on CentOS now. I installed a complete environment using 'yum groupinstall "Authoring and Publishing"' and then installing tetex-xdvi, plus manually installing the 'memoir' class. I can run 'latex document.tex' ok: the resulting .dvi looks nice in xdvi. When running 'dvips -o document.dvi', I get a .ps file that I can view OK in Evince. But when I run 'pdflatex document.tex', the fonts in the resulting PDF are all ragged and fuzzy... though the print output is OK. I thought I'd rather post this question here, since the answer is probably distribution-specific. Any suggestions? Niki

Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernel capability interaction?
by S Roderick 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

I am wondering what is the interaction between SE Linux and the kernel "capabilities" in CentOS 5.1? I'm trying to open a raw socket and keep getting permission denied errors. I've tried using the lcap library to find that CAP_SETPCAP appears to be off in the kernel. For compliance reasons, I don't want to turn this on. I've also tried a hand-crafted SE Linux module policy. I have verified that the test program runs in the correct SE Linux domain and it generates no audit errors, but it still fails to open the port with permission denied. It appears that SE Linux is not preventing the socket being created (as evidenced by the lack of audit messages), so what am I missing? Do I still need to modify capabilities within the program, even if I'm using an SE Linux policy? Thanks S Source file #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <netinet/in.h> int main(void) { int fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP); if (-1 == fd) { printf("Failed to open raw socket: %d=%s\n", errno, strerror(errno)); } else { printf("Socket opened successfully\n"); close(fd); } return 0; } SElinux .te file policy_module(rawsox,1.0.0) ######################################## # Declarations type rawsox_t; type rawsox_exec_t; domain_type(rawsox_t) domain_entry_file(rawsox_t, rawsox_exec_t) domain_auto_trans(unconfined_t,rawsox_exec_t,rawsox_t) ######################################## # Rawsox local policy # these two didn't help #corenet_raw_sendrecv_all_if( rawsox_t ); #corenet_raw_sendrecv_all_nodes( rawsox_t ); require { type lib_t; type ld_so_t; type ld_so_cache_t; type usr_t; type devpts_t; type rawsox_t; type etc_t; class lnk_file read; class dir search; class file { read getattr execute }; class chr_file { read write getattr }; class rawip_socket create; class capability net_raw; } #============= rawsox_t ============== allow rawsox_t devpts_t:chr_file { read write getattr }; allow rawsox_t etc_t:dir search; allow rawsox_t ld_so_cache_t:file { read getattr }; allow rawsox_t ld_so_t:file read; allow rawsox_t lib_t:dir search; allow rawsox_t lib_t:file { read getattr execute }; allow rawsox_t lib_t:lnk_file read; allow rawsox_t usr_t:dir search; allow rawsox_t self:capability { net_raw setuid }; allow rawsox_t self:rawip_socket { create ioctl read write bind getopt setopt }; allow rawsox_t self:unix_stream_socket { create_socket_perms };

Hi, I just ran an install of OpenOffice 2.31 on Centos 5.1 using these instructions - http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles/openoffice-fedora/index.html Install seemed to go fine until I finished and then tried to start up K writer and none of the OO apps will start up from the menu. even though they are all showing up in start menu that 2.3 is installed. I'm using KDE mostly but have gnome installed also. Can anyone give me an idea as to how to correct?

Problem getting Java Runtime Environment installed into OpenOffice
by Therese Trudeau 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my new install of OpenOffice 2.31 to find my newly installed Java Runtime Environment version jre1.6.0_04 (downloaded from Sun). I tried installing it via Tools>Options>Java (am using OpenOffice Calc to try to set it up). The options dialog box is finding the Free Software Foundation version 1.4.2, but it won't find the new JRE file. I tried clicking on Add and tried just about every directory I could think of and it's just not finding the JRE. I believe after doing a search, that the newly installed JRE is located in the /usr/java/jre1.6.0_04 directory, and went to that dir in the options dialog box in Calc, and tried every dir and sub dir in that main dir, and Calc is still is not seeing it. Can anyone please give me an idea as to how to find JRE and get it plugged in to OpenOffice? _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!

yum update best practices
by sprizes＠gmail.com 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hello, we run approximately 400 Centos servers at our company. We use cfengine for configuration management. I am looking for some documentation to do patching including kernel patches. I was thinking of just having each host run yum update via cfengine but not sure if there are any gotchas there? Should I just do yum update? or should i exclude the kernel and be more careful with those? how about glibc? I am wondering what other people out there do with such large installations. I'd very much appreciate any help or suggestions on this. Also, kinda related to the above is my question about the correct yum behavior when installing kernels. I've seen it sometimes make the new kernel the default in grub.conf but sometimes it doesnt? what is the designed behavior? best regards, SK

PE2950, RAID 0, failed disk
by Scott R. Ehrlich 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5/i, and 6 disks. Two disks have one logical volume via a hardware RAID 1 and consist of CentOS 5 64-bit; the remaining four comprise a logical volume via a hardware RAID 0, and is all user data. One drive on the RAID 0 went bad. I removed it while the system was on, tried a reboot, and the system hangs at RedHat Linux... Starting I tried to boot from a Fedora 8 CD, which sees the boot drives fine, but not the RAID 0 partitions. Visiting the PERC controller setup claims the RAID 0 volume is unavailable, or something similar, though it is defined, with one of the disks labelled as missing, since I removed it from the system. How do I get the partitions on the RAID 0 setup back? I have some of the data, but need the rest, if possible, and the remaining three disks appear physically healthy. I'm also going to work with Dell for some answers, and I've done a lot of googling. Thanks. Scott

There is ZERO redundancy in RAID0. Again, your data is gone. Replace the drive, partition it again, then use RAID1, 5, or 6 on your remaining drives to get some kind of redundancy. Then restore what you can from backups. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897

Firefox and xmms issue
by Frank Cox 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

I'm almost certain that I had this working before, but it seems to have quit. I used to be able to go to a web page, click on a .wav file and have it automatically load into xmms and play, and that was all there was to it. Today, I click on a wav file and it opens another empty Firefox window, then loads xmms and sits there until I hit the play button on xmms. Worse, if I close xmms and the empty Firefox window, then click on another wav file in the original Firefox window, it goes through the same process but then when I hit play I'm listening to the first wav file again. So... what happened? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

C5 64-bit and software RAID 6?
by Scott R. Ehrlich 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 6 SAS disks and a PERC 5/i controller what won't do RAID 6. I plan to have 2 drives as RAID 1 for the OS, and the remaining 4 as RAID 6. Granted the PERC can do RAID 1, I'm tempted to do everything via software RAID. Thus, if anything goes wrong with the controller, I just need to obtain a new SAS controller and I'm back up. I learned my lesson about not using RAID 0 for important data storage when a drive goes bad! What are peoples' performance and reliability experiences with 64-bit C5's software RAID, particularly RAID 6? Thanks. Scott

Syntax question: svn propset on multiple file types?

Then I'd go into the parent directory and do: $ svn propset svn:ignore *.log docs/ But what should the command be if I wanted to ignore *.log, *.aux and *.dvi? thanks, Niki

Re: [CentOS] Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernelcapability interaction?
by Ross S. W. Walker 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

The raw socket option in the kernel only allows privileged processes to open them. Selinux controls which privileged processes have the right to. To allow an unprivileged process to access a raw socket you will need to write a proxy daemon that runs privileged and is allowed in selinux to create a raw socket. This daemon can then provide a unix socket to unprivileged processes whose access can be granted with it's security modes and ownership either manually or through udev. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Fri Mar 07 17:44:15 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernelcapability interaction?

You may need to look at 'alternatives' and see if Sun java is still set and set it again if it isn't. If it still doesn't work after that try uninstalling OOo and reinstalling it. If it doesn't work after that, well you may want to try the 32-bit versions to see if they work together. Another good question, are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of OOo? I believe the 32-bit OOo will only work with the 32-bit Java, not sure if that is true the other way around though. Is there a reason the GNU Java won't work for your needs? -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Fri Mar 07 17:40:07 2008 Subject: RE: [CentOS] Problem getting JavaRuntime EnvironmentinstalledintoOpenOffice >> Sure I'll give that a try.

system-config-display wrongly sets up Viewsonic VG730m monitor
by Anne Wilson 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I originally set up this monitor with an analogue lead. Everything seemed fine, so I didn't check xorg.conf at all. Then I bought a digital lead, and since then the monitor blinks. Running system-config-display identifies it as a 1280 x 1084 CRT monitor. It is an LCD monitor. That model is not on the drop-down list, so assuming that a specific driver wasn't available for it, I tried telling system-config-display that it is a generic LCD 1280 x 1024 monitor - restarted X, then went back to system-config-display, where it showed up as a CRT monitor. The refresh rate set was way outside the manufacturer's recommendations (1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz). so I tried manually setting refresh rates to match the manual's recommendations. At the moment my xorg.conf has ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Monitor 1280x1024" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 60.0 - 72.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 72.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 EndSubSection EndSection Attached is the relevant part of the specification page.

rsyslog repo?
by Johnny Tan 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Does anyone know of a CentOS-5 (el5) repo for rsyslog, that's being maintained on a relatively regular basis? I checked all the usual suspects (dag, karan, epel, etc.), but they either don't have rsyslog at all, or they have an old version. Currently, I'm doing a rebuild of the Fedora-8 srpm, but it's at version 2.0.2. I wanted to move to 3.11.x for the disk-assisted buffering, and I was able to fix the spec file such that the package installs and runs. But I'm having other troubles with it (specifically with remote logging, which I was able to get working with the 2.0.2 version). So, I'm troubleshooting those problems as I speak(type), but perhaps rather than reinvent the wheel, I just wanted to check if there's an existing 3.x repo for el5, or if there are people out there who've worked out these problems already. johnn

Multi domU Xen Box Network Transparent Sound
by Ross S. W. Walker 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

(I tried cross-posting between centos and centos-virt, but it only appeared on centos-virt, maybe it was rejected?) I have a new development box at home that I am working on. Currently it has CentOS 5.1 + Xen 3.2 running several domUs. I am using XDMCP on the domUs and an X Chooser on dom0 for connecting to them and it works well, but now I want to be able to get sound from my domUs and I have been struggling. I can get some from network transparent sound by using ESD, but I have no way of controlling the mixer (volume) settings from within the domU which kind of sucks. I have been looking at the possibility of setting up a PulseAudio server in dom0 and installing the ALSA PulseAudio plugin on each domU set to use the dom0 server as from the web site it seems to be able to have remote mixer controls and can be handled as if it were a regular ALSA sound card, which should allow a majority of the apps to work as if there were a local sound card. My questions are: 1) Has anybody on the list used PulseAudio in this type of setup (not necessary Xen interface, but ALSA plugin to remote PulseAudio server)? 2) Does anybody on the list know a compatible repo that carries pre-compiled PulseAudio packages?

umask in nfs
by Craig White 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Normal users umask is 022 set in /etc/bashrc Obviously I can change that value to 002 but that would affect all files created by each user. Is it possible to set a different umask on nfs mounts only so that user created files have a umask of 002 on files saved onto that mount? man mount shows this is possible on some filesystems but man nfs doesn't suggest that this is possible.

Acronis True Image Agent on CentOS
by Kai Schaetzl 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Has anyone successfully installed Acronis True Image Agent 9.1 (that's the version before Echo) on CentOS 5 (or 4?). It fails for me in the dkms build of the snapapi kernel module. As it is the first time I install it on a Linux OS I am not sure if this problem is CentOS 5 specific or happens to occur on any Linux regularly, anyway.

The upstream distribution changed root from using vim (with syntax highlighting) to using vi. With the 4.X versions root was using vim. The 5.X configuration is: [root@bend ~]# which vi /bin/vi [dave@bend ~]# which vi vi: aliased to vim [dave@bend ~]# which vim /usr/bin/vim The idea is that vi is in /bin which should be available if the system can boot at all.

Moving from RAID 0 to LVM RAID?
by Scott R. Ehrlich 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

So I've learned a valuable RAID 0 lesson, and it fortunately was not a major catastrophy. I got lucky, and had a workable-enough backup on tape to make the user who needed some data happy. Now, from the OS side, LVM is an option. Say the RAID controller only allows hardware striping or mirroring for logical volumes, but I want to use more than two disks, and I don't want the RAID 0 problem again. When I get a replacement disk and build the system from the ground up again, I could, conceivably, use hardware RAID 1 for the OS on two disks, and CentOS 5 64-bit's LVM for software RAID 5 (or maybe 1+0 if available) on the remaining for 4 disks, maybe 3 disks as active and the 4th as a hot spare? I've never had much faith in software raid, since it is not hardware-based, and there would be a performance hit, but in this case, it could be an option. Insights from the OS-created RAID experience welcome. Thanks again. Scott

Perl-5.8.8-10 "use overload" backport breaks performance?
by Amos Shapira 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hello, There is text in the documentation of Class::DBIx as follows: There is a problem with slow performance of certain DBIx::Class operations in perl-5.8.8-10 and later on RedHat and related systems, due to a bad backport of a "use overload" related bug. The problem is in the Perl binary itself, not in DBIx::Class. If your system has this problem, you will see a warning on startup, with some options as to what to do about it. (from http://search.cpan.org/~ash/DBIx-Class-0.08010/lib/DBIx/Class/Manual/Intro.…) and indeed when I run a test I get: # perl -MDBIx::Class -e1 WARNING: DBIx::Class::StartupCheck: This version of Perl is likely to exhibit extremely slow performance for certain critical operations. Please consider recompiling Perl. For more information, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836 and/or http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/dbix-class/2007-October/005119.html. You can suppress this message by setting DBIC_NO_WARN_BAD_PERL=1 in your environment. Now it looks like the current solution is to compile a package by myself. Is there a way I can avoid this and just grab a fixed or older working version from some known repository? This is on a CentOS 5 with all updated packages ("yum update" doesn't update anything), rpmforge is enabled in case this matters. Thanks, --Amos

audio file validation tool ?
by John R Pierce 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I need a command line tool to validate mp3 file(s).... just something that scans the file and looks for structural errors and reports it. background, I've recovered a few 1000 MP3 files off a dying disk drive for a radio station, some of the other files I recovered had several K byte long blocks of zeros splatted in the middle where the dying drive did bad sector remapping (SMART reported 1900+ sectors had been remapped)... this particular library was the playlist for an internet radio station run as a pet project by the program director of a FM station... said PD passed away from cancer last year, and the station management wants to put this internet station back online as a legacy to her. its a very obscure bunch of music, all old 'cowboy' songs. :)

Keeping machines online
by Jerry Geis 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I am using centos 5.1. I want to keep my machines always powered on. Some machines (important ones) are UPS'd. I have also set in the BIOS (gigabyte motherboard) the power options that after power loss should do a full on. The other day we had just a momentary power drop. the UPS machines had no issue of course with that. However, the other machines did not come back on. Is there anything additional in Centos that can help ensure this machines turn back on. Perhaps something in acpi stuff? Does that need setup? Thanks for the discussion. Jerry

I'm a big proponent of self teaching. In the IT field, it's usually hard to get an employer to pay for training, so if one isn't willing to self teach, it's hard to advance. Use user reviews on Amazon to get feedback on what books are good for learning a specific operating system. There's no substitute for hands on experience. With Solaris, you can always download ISO images and build your own test server on inexpensive x86 hardware. I don't know how you'd do that with AIX or HP, though. I've wanted to learn AIX myself, but am certainly not going to shell out several thousand bucks to buy a used AIX server.

NetworkManager order
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

How do I control the order in the network manager? I have read the little doc on it. And I want wireless before wired, for example. If multiple wireless, I want to be at least asked, or to set my priority (like I could do in wpa_supplicant.conf).

ipw3945 wireless not working
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep ipw shows: well a bunch of lines about the card including one with the Radio Frequency Kill Swithc is On But the card does not show in Network Manager. I added to modprobe.conf: alias wifi0 ipw3945 and rebooted (and power cycled) and no change. ifconfig wifi0 up gets: device not found Oh, this notebook has a Broadcom ethernet adapter that is working just fine at bootup But I have to get the wireless working today! Well maybe by tomorrow. (off to IETF next week, and IEEE 802 the following). ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

slow SMTP-AUTH
by Ugo Bellavance 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi, I installed sendmail on a centos-4 openvz VM. I set up SMTP-AUTH and when I try to send mail using this server, there is a big delay in which my e-mail client (Mozilla Thunderbird) just hangs. The server, on the other hand, is idle at the same time. It does that no matter if I use no encryption, TLS, or SSL. When the client is 'hung' sendmail, on the server side haven't logged anything yet for this connection. Any idea? Regards, Ugo

Source keychain credentials in Perl?
by Sean Carolan 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Keychain is quite a useful tool for automating SSH logins without having to use password-less keys: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ Normally it is used like this to set the SSH_AUTH_SOC and SSH_AGENT_PID variables: source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh (This is what's in hostname-sh) SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXn47DUn/agent.16721; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=16722; export SSH_AGENT_PID; I would like these environment variables to be made available to a Perl script so that any "system" commands contained in the perl script will inherit them. How do you do this in Perl?

RESTORING THUNDERBIRD FILES
by Chris Geldenhuis 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi All, Last night I downloaded the latest security updates to my Centos 4 system, and rebooted afterwards. This morning I wanted to check my mail, but when I opened Thunderbird, it asked me to set up a mail account. I saved the contents of the previous .thunderbird file structure with tar and created a new mail account with the same details (name, isp, pasword, servers etc.) as the previous account. All of my folders and history had disappeared when the "new" account was created. I tried restoring from the tar archive but can still only access mails downloaded after recreating the account. Any ideas on how to regain access to my mail archives? TIA ChrisG

hi all, assume apache runs under apache user/group and i have a user/group name "weber". i use "weber" user to upload files via ftp/sftp. where should i place my include files so that no one can access except apache b/c these files contained user/pw for mysql. i usually place them in /var/www/html/includes, but people can access to this folder, so i'm thinking place them in /var/www/includes. what should the permission for /var/www/html and /var/www/inclues/? what group should these two directories belong to??? thanks, t. hiep

I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart. Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section? Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above http://serverip/ks.cfg Thanks, Jerry

Error reading block x (Attempt to read block...)
by Scott R. Ehrlich 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

A Centos 5 64-bit server reflected some SCSI kernel errors in the logs, so I opted to reboot, only to be prompted to perform a manual fsck, that an automatic fsck wouldn't be permitted. As a result, the fsck is taking a long time, as I have to babysit the server for every bad block that is reported and needs a forced rewrite. The exact error is "Error reading block x (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error(y)? Force rewrite(y)?" I say yes to both. Could I safely get away with booting from a CentOS 5 CD and performing a fsck with automatic system fixing to speed up the process, or do I need to be patient and just keep manually selecting Y for as long as it takes? Thanks. Scott

LVM: how do I change the UUID of a LV?
by Timothy Selivanow 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I know how to change the UUID of Physical Volumes and Volume Groups, but when I try to do the same for a Logical Volume, lvchange complains that "--uuid" is not an option. Here is how I've been changing the others (note that "--uuid" does not appear in the man pages for pvchange and vgchange for lvm2-2.02.26-3.el5): pvchange --uuid {pv dev} vgchange --uuid {vg name} Any suggestions? I'm pretty much open to any arcane/convoluted procedure, but I refrain from copying the data to a temp place so I can re-create the LV as that would add too much work and would kinda defeat what I'm doing. Thanks! --Tim _________________________________________________________ / Obviously I was either onto something, or on something. \ \ -- Larry Wall on the creation of Perl / --------------------------------------------------------- \ \ \ \ /\ ( ) .( o ).

Overwrite target of ln
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected. -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Rejecting spam
by Tim Alberts 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Sorry, not a direct CentOS question, but I know there's a lot of experienced users on this list...I'm using CentOS with sendmail and spamassassin. I've got it configured with spamass-milter and it is working correctly. However, I was expecting to be able to reject mail that is marked as spam, not just deliver it as usual. Anyone know if it can be done and how? I know a milter can reject mail, because I've used milter-grelist in the past to give temporary fail messages. Following is my sendmail.m4 directive for spamass-milter: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=unix:/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT',`t, b, j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, {if_addr}')dnl define(`confMILTER_MACROS_HELO',`s, {tls_version}, {cipher}, {cipher_bits}, {cert_subject}, {cert_issuer}')dnl

procmailrc
by John Hinton 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I have one box, a 3.x box, that has a problem finding procmailrc files. For instance, if I have a .procmailrc file in /var/www/user/homes/username it finds it and it works. If I have a .procmailrc file under /var/www/user it doesn't. Where the heck is the setting for where procmail looks for user procmailrc files? Thanks, John Hinton

LVM and kickstarts ?
by Michael Gale 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hey, Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed down my config. It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol) It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not made active, so my /dev/volgroup/logvol did not exist. Running `lvm lvchange -a -y pathname` from with in the shell after anaconda failed made the volgroup / logvol active. Which would allow the format command to complete. Option 1: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol swap --fstype swap --name=os_swap_logvol --vgname=os_volgroup01 --recommended logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow Option 2: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow -- Michael Gale Red Hat Certified Engineer Network Administrator Pason Systems Corp.

crypto, readline and zlib libraries - Postgres install
by Karl Denninger 04 Mar '08

I have the 5.x Centos DVD and loaded it. Please be gentle with me, as I'm nominally a FreeBSD kind of guy... :) Anyway, I'm trying to install Postgres and the three libraries in the subject line are missing off the base installation. I figured out how to load gcc using yum, but those libraries aren't there, and I need the former in particular in order to enable SSL for Postgres client connections. A perusal of "yum list" with an appropriate grep or two doesn't elicit anything useful. Anyone know where I find these? I loaded just the standard distro, no graphical user environment (neither Gnome or KDB) Thanks in advance. -- Karl Denninger (karl(a)denninger.net) http://www.denninger.net

install LAMP
by Hiep Nguyen 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

hi all, i'm not an expert on linux/centos, but i play with it and have a general idea. it's time for me to setup a centos box for development. i rarely install anything from source, except a few times in college when i have to modify kernel for OS project. but i guess i can learn now. i just installed centos 5 with minimal installation. next step is to install LAMP w/ SSL. i found http://lamphowto.com/lampssl.html, but i have questions before i proceed. is it better to install from source or rpm? how easy it is to upgrade/update if install from source? it seems so much easy to upgrade/update from rpm, well b/c i'm always do this way. is there any other instruction (beside the one mentioned above) to install LAMP w/ SSL? appreciate your help/suggestion t. hiep

Device-mapper-multipath not working correctly with GNBD devices
by Svetoslav Rogalski 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi all, I am trying to configure a failover multipath between 2 GNBD devices. I have a 4 nodes Redhat Cluster Suite (RCS) cluster. 3 of them are used for running services, 1 of them for central storage. In the future I am going to introduce another machine for central storage. The 2 storage machine are going to share/export the same disk. The idea is not to have a single point of failure on the machine exporting the storage. For concept testing I am using one machine on which I have configured 2 GNBD exports, which are exporting exactly the same disk. These are configured with: # /sbin/gnbd_export -d /dev/sdb1 -e gnbd0 -u gnbd # /sbin/gnbd_export -d /dev/sdb1 -e gnbd1 -u gnbd They are exporting with the same id, so the multipath driver will automatically configure them as alternative paths to the same storage. Now on one of the cluster nodes used for running services I am importing these GNBD devices with: # /sbin/gnbd_import -i gnbd1 where gnbd1 is the hostname of the machine exporting the GNBD devices. And I have these imported ok: # gnbd_import -l Device name : gnbd1 ---------------------- Minor # : 0 sysfs name : /block/gnbd0 Server : gnbd11 Port : 14567 State : Open Connected Clear Readonly : No Sectors : 41941688 Device name : gnbd0 ---------------------- Minor # : 1 sysfs name : /block/gnbd1 Server : gnbd1 Port : 14567 State : Open Connected Clear Readonly : No Sectors : 41941688 # After, I have configured the device-mapper multipath by commenting the "blacklist" section in /etc/multipath.conf and adding this "defaults" section: defaults { user_friendly_names yes polling_interval 5 #path_grouping_policy failover path_grouping_policy multibus rr_min_io 1 failback immediate #failback manual no_path_retry fail #no_path_retry queue } Now I have the mpath device configured correctly (IMHO): # multipath -ll mpath0 (gnbd) dm-2 GNBD,GNBD [size=20G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# gnbd0 252:0 [active][ready] \_ #:#:#:# gnbd1 252:1 [active][ready] # # dmsetup ls mpath0 (253, 2) VolGroup00-LogVol01 (253, 1) VolGroup00-LogVol00 (253, 0) # Now I mkfs.ext3 over the mpath0 device to create a filesystem, then mount. After I start to copy a file (with scp - to have a progress bar) and during the copy process I shutdown one of the exported GNBD device on the disk exporting machine with: # gnbd_export -r gnbd1 -O After a while in the maillog: gnbd_recvd[3357]: client lost connection with gnbd11 : Broken pipe gnbd_recvd[3357]: reconnecting kernel: gnbd1: Receive control failed (result -32) kernel: gnbd1: shutting down socket kernel: exiting GNBD_DO_IT ioctl kernel: gnbd1: Attempted send on closed socket gnbd_recvd[3357]: ERROR [gnbd_recvd.c:292] login refused by the server : No such device gnbd_recvd[3357]: reconnecting kernel: device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 252:1. multipathd: gnbd1: directio checker reports path is down multipathd: checker failed path 252:1 in map mpath0 multipathd: mpath0: remaining active paths: 1 gnbd_recvd[3357]: ERROR [gnbd_recvd.c:292] login refused by the server : No such device gnbd_recvd[3357]: reconnecting Now the copy process is freezed. It stays that way until the GNBD device is exported again. I try some commands on the multipath machine: # multipath -ll gnbd1: checker msg is "directio checker reports path is down" mpath0 (gnbd) dm-2 GNBD,GNBD [size=20G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ #:#:#:# gnbd0 252:0 [active][ready] \_ #:#:#:# gnbd1 252:1 [failed][faulty] <freezed, the prompt is not returning back> This prompt get back after the GNBD device is exported again. My expectations were that in such a scenario the multipath driver is going to switch the requests to the other path and everything should continue to work. Am I wrong? I have upgraded to the last version of all the RPMs. I am using CentOS 5.1. I have tried different multipath settings (which are commented out in the multipath.conf "defaults" section I pasted previously), but nothing happens. This may be useful. When starting the machine in the log: multipathd: gnbd0: add path (uevent) kernel: device-mapper: multipath round-robin: version 1.0.0 loaded multipathd: mpath0: load table [0 41941688 multipath 0 0 1 1 round-robin 0 1 1 252:0 1000] multipathd: mpath0: event checker started multipathd: dm-2: add map (uevent) multipathd: dm-2: devmap already registered gnbd_recvd[3357]: gnbd_recvd started kernel: resending requests multipathd: gnbd1: add path (uevent) multipathd: mpath0: load table [0 41941688 multipath 0 0 1 1 round-robin 0 2 1 252:0 1000 252:1 1000] multipathd: dm-2: add map (uevent) multipathd: dm-2: devmap already registered Maybe this is a bug of GNBD not the multipath? Any help for getting this working will be very appreciated. Thanks.

phpmyadmin hang..
by Frank M. Ramaekers 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

It seems that I can never get through a phpmyadmin session w/o it hanging on "Waiting for http://....". The only way I have found to correct this is to cycle Apache. I can always get past the signon portion, but it hangs at various portions of selecting DBs or Tables. CPU is not overly active, all httpd daemons running, no myphpadmin remnants running. Can't find any problems in the httpd log files. I've searched the web, but no applicable hits. Anyone been there? Frank M.

twiki 4.2 on centos
by Les Mikesell 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Is anyone running twiki on centos? The basic part of the 4.2 version appears to work, but there is a plugin installer that you run from the bin/Configure URL that is supposed to automate downloading and installing an assortment of optional add-on and plugin code, and this is giving me an error of "Subroutine install redefined at /var/www/html/twiki/WebDAVPlugin_installer.pl" (same thing for any xxx_installer.pl). I didn't see this on the 4.1.2 version of twiki. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Making CentOS 5.1 Live on USB Writable
by Mark Rose 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

I recently made a Live USB by using the directions in the LiveCD Trac. It works very well, but I was wondering if there is a way the partition - in my case, /dev/sda1, can be made writable. I tried changing the kickstart file to mount everything RW, but it did not work. I know I can always create a second partition on the pendrive, but I would like all filesystems accessible by both CentOS and Windows. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks! Mark

HD Failures
by Jimmy Bradley 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

I'm just curious if any one else has noticed this. I've bought hard drives from both Walmart and Best Buy. If I can wait, I order them from newegg.com. I'm beginning to think that the staff at both Walmart and Best Buy, somewhere along the supply line must dribble the drives like basket balls. The reason I say that is all the drives I have bought from those two places fail within a few months time. Has anyone else noticed that? Just curious. Jim

Hey guys, is anyone of you using CentOS (4/5) for an ISDN fax gateway? I just had someone over here at the CentOS booth who wanted to know if there's a possibility to integrate the AVM CAPI into CentOS and then use the machine as a fax gateway with 2, 3 or 4 S0 buses. Is that possible?

Odd AVC from tcpdump
by Robert Nichols 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Whenever tcpdump fills a savefile to capacity (-C option) and tries to open a new one, I get the following AVC denial: kernel: audit(1204485464.409:106): avc: denied { search } for pid=2702 comm="tcpdump" name="/" dev=hdb1 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:netutils_t:s0 t context=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=dir Any suggestions as the the proper fix to make this work? The target directory for the savefiles has context system_u:object_r:netutils_tmp_t, and I get no complaints about that directory or its files. I have no idea what tcpdump might be searching for in the root directory or, for that matter, why search permission in a default_t directory should be denied.
