file or website upload scripts / programs and security protection
by Robert - elists 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Holiday Greetings! Ummmmm scenario is centos 4.5 standard apache webserver I have a client that is really struggling with website file upload concepts. Ive been googling for some scripts or other programs that allow uploading of files to proper directory(ies) after authentication I am definitely concerned about security issues of course. I have never implemented this before because everyone I have ever given a web address, a login, a password, and directory structure understood what was going on.... till now... Would someone consider and please share url's or other info about what solutions they have implemented for the website upload technically challenged? We do not mind paying if we need to get something that also helps create excellent yet basic websites on the fly too. Thanks! - rh

Announcing the CentOS on Laptops initiative
by Dag Wieers 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi all, I would like to announce a CentOS on Laptops initiative. The aim is to allow everybody in the community (and on this mailinglist) to document their own experience with CentOS on their laptop (on the CentOS wiki). The goal of this initiative consists of 2 parts: - help and convince people with their own CentOS on laptop installation - promote CentOS on other Laptop websites and fill in this existing void I hope that everyone think back about the experience on their existing laptop and add it to the wiki, and document everything when doing future laptop installations. <insert your favorite motivational quote here ! :)> -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

NFS V3 errors after updates applied
by Dan Goetzman 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

I just applied the latest updates to my CentOS 5 cluster; kernel is now 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 Sun NFS clients now show error messages when long listing files; > # ls -l dantest > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > total 32 > drwxrwxrwx 1 dan users 0 Aug 22 10:36 dantest It works, there just seems to be a problem with the GETACL NFS call on the updated kernel. Backing filesystems are GFS. Booting back to the old kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5) and the problem is gone. Anyone else seen this problem? -Dan

Ethernet over USB
by Krautkramer, John 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi, Is it true you can run Ethernet over USB between 2 machines? I have 2 machines running CentOS 5.0 and a simple type A male to A male cable. I don't see in the network setup gui how to set it up. Is there a particular device I should select? What I see relating to USB is: KL4USB101 USB Ethernet driver Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver USB CDC Ethernet driver These appear to be some kind of hardware other than a cable. lsmod gives me "usbnet 20041 0" so I believe this means the kernel module is there. Any ideas? Thanks, John

mysql 5.1 rpm spec file?
by Johnny Tan 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Does Red Hat make available spec files for future releases? I took the existing mysql 5.0 spec file and, with a few mods here and there, was able to build the 5.1 rpm. But there are some new things which I am curious how they will deal with (ndb stuff, primarily), and was wondering if they have available the "beta" SRPMs or spec files for future versions of software. johnn

Going back to old kernels?
by Kai Schaetzl 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

As the latest 4.5 kernel (2.6.9-55.0.12.EL) is unstable for me (crashes about once a day) I want to go back to the rock solid kernel that I had before the update (2.6.9-34.0.2.EL). If nothing else then to confirm it's not a kernel problem. Are there any current packages that might not work with this older kernel? As kernels don't get updated but installed the old kernel is still there and I would just need to change the grub.conf. Anything else? As this is a remote machine I would at least need to be able to login via ssh if not everything is ok. Thanks. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany

Yum update wants to overwrite newer app package
by MHR 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway (I do that - you all know... :-). Due to a bug I found in OOo 2.0, I moved to using OOo 2.3, back when I was still running CentOS 5.0. Now that I have upgraded to 5.1, yum wants to update my OOo from 2.3 BACK to 2.0. Is it possible to get yum to recognize that 2.3 is newer than 2.0, or should I just exclude OOo from the updates? Thanks. mhr

captive portal
by Dave 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Hello, Forgive the cross-posting, but googling showed results from these two lists. I'm looking to set up a WiFi gateway with two nics, and iptables. The catch is i have to use a captive portal as well to ensure all traffic goes to a single destination. I've read about several packages, but haven't seen any docs that say how to integrate everything. If anyone has this setup i'd appreciate knowing what software your using, and experiences with it, positive or negative. Thanks. Dave.

Strange GUI/GNOME Lockups
by Jayson Rowe 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

First, a hello to all! I recently moved to CentOS from Fedora on my primary desktop due to a desire to have a highly reliable stable desktop that would be supported long term without constant upgrades. I'll keep my laptop Fedora to see what's new, but I wanted CentOS to be my ultimate "stable" workstation. However, since installing CentOS 5.1 I have been plagued by a strange problem I haven't seen in ANY other distro I've ran on this PC, including a RHEL 5 30 Day Demo that prompted me to install CentOS in the first place. My GUI (GNOME desktop BTW) will randomly have strange little lockups or freezes where I can't interact with any windows or use any menus or applets. SOMETIMES I can ctrl+alt+arrow to another workspace to free it up, but just now I had to ctrl+alt+backspace to free it up. There is nothing strange in /var/log or the system logs. It just simply freezes. I'm hoping that someone would have some kind of suggestion, or even where to start looking for a solution, as I REALLY want CentOS to be my FT OS on this machine. Thanks in advance for any help.

phpmyadmin issue- what's really working at this time?
by Brian 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Basic phpmyadmin issue, but I can't seem to solve it. Qube3 with CentOS 4.5, PHP4.3.9, BlueQuartz. phpmyadmin was working a while but after long disuse, the index.php now just displays as text. DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/admserv/conf/httpd.conf has index.php added. /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf if I uncomment the AddType to bring in *.php, the phpmyadmin startup breaks but clicking on the direct link to config.inc.php gives a blank screen (so I guess loads fine). /etc/admserv/conf.d/php.conf already had the Addtype uncommented but it doesn't seem to be used(?) If I put 2.8.* phpmyadmin in per the BQ wiki (and config it minimally as the example), apache fails to load, same for 2.10. Should this be fine with the 2.7? I didn't touch it :), it seems to have broken as part of regular yum updates-- perhaps the php update in Sept? (I haven't used phpmyadmin for a long time). What is supposed to be working at this time with our aging base? I'll then put that on and then troubleshoot from there. Thanks- Brian

Mail Volume
by John Hinton 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Thanks Karanbir! It seems you have taken on the task of reducing this volume. Frankly, at 200 or so messages per day it is simply too much and I don't have time to even read the headers. So much is not directly related to CentOS but yet the 'list' has in the past been so good at troubleshooting almost everything. My problem is the items important to me, I deal with my own hardware issues, I don't post to this list with regards to issues with other software, although I have in the past made recommendations... troubleshooting those however doesn't really belong here. Meanwhile, I hope I'm not missing the obvious, the basic issues with running CentOS based packages. I have suggested before that maybe alternative lists would be a good idea. I think a xen list does exist? For sure a CentOS/Hardware list could be of benefit... not really a CentOS item, but best placed in front of those running CentOS. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud here and adding to what I'm trying to avoid, yet another CentOS thread on an already overloaded IMO list. John Hinton

ld issue
by Craig White 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

I have an annoying little issue that perhaps someone can explain to me. I installed zenoss (very cool, http://www.zenoss.org) and things are OK. when I use emacs or when somethings like a cron job execute, I get notice of an error... emacs: /opt/zenoss/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by emacs) or /usr/bin/webalizer: /opt/zenoss/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libgd.so.2) doing my google bit, I seem to find that this isn't a necessarily a zenoss problem but rather a problem caused by all sorts of software that install a version of the libpng12.so is there some method of fixing this using ld ?

Samba problems on 5.1
by Sebastian Marten 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Hi list, Since I've upgraded from Version 5.0 to 5.1 i have strange problems with samba. Since 5.1 the connection from a XP client to the samba server disconnect often, especially then i write a file to the share after some idle time. Some informations of my config. The Box is a Samba PDC for a little Windows Domain with a ldap backed. I used this config on Centos 4.x and 5.0 without problems. For 5.1 i installed a new server and copied the config 1:1 to the new hardware. Since then i have this problems.

Re: [CentOS] [OT] Suitable VPN RPM on centos 5?
by Ross S. W. Walker 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

I've noticed quite a few of these India consulting companies using the mailing lists to supplement their lack of internal skilled personnel. It really gives me pause when/if I need to consider outsourcing technology work. The fact that these companies are not upfront about their knowledge base and what they are truly capable of handling makes me wonder if this is really the most cost effective way to go. -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Thu Dec 13 08:34:04 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Suitable VPN RPM on centos 5?

Clustering MySQL
by Steve Campbell 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

I'm just beginning to consider using the Clustering available with CentOS. We are going to spec out some new hardware, and after reading most of the Clustering manuals, I have a small question about MySQL. I would like to run High Availability MySQL, in other words, similar to how you can run HA HTTPD and the like. The catch seems to be if I run MySQL on an individual server, with common MySQL replication to another server, how do failovers work? I see a real problem with table locking and the like. Is there a way to run multiple MySQL servers that get removed from the cluster as opposed to failing over when using the newer MySQL versions (I am running 3.23 now, so a little behind)? Thanks for any insights. Steve Campbell

OpenSSL binary compatibility between CentOS 4 and 5
by Ed Schofield 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

[Re-sending ...] I would like to ask why upstream and CentOS provide no compat-openssl packages like Novell does in SUSE. We are trying to install binaries for gLite (a huge toolkit for grid computing linked against upstream v4 libraries) on CentOS 5. I was under the impression that this would be possible because v5 is "binary-compatible" with v4. But it seems this "binary compatibility" doesn't extend to OpenSSL. What, then, is the scope of the upstream and CentOS binary compatibility guarantees? (OpenSSL is not yet in the LSB; is this significant?) We will probably want to roll our own compat-openssl packages to provide the relevant libssl and libcrypto .so files, using e.g. compat-openldap as an example. Is this something we could contribute? It doesn't seem to exist yet in any repositories linked from http://wiki.centos.org/HowToContribute/Packages. Assuming it makes sense to contribute this, we'd want to do it right. Could anyone outline steps to make the packages secure and compatible? For example, is it sufficient to roll up the .so files from the CentOS 4.xopenssl packages into rpms and add Requires tags for .so files from compat-glibc? Thanks in advance for any help! -- Ed

Tons of SNMP ?errors? in /var/log/messages
by Timothy Selivanow 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I'm running up-to-date CentOS 5 w/ Xen. I'm getting tons (tons = 13787 just yesterday, presumably because I have a monitoring system poll every 5 minutes) of log entries of the following: netsnmp_assert index == tmp failed if-mib/data_access/interface.c:467 _access_interface_entry_save_name() and netsnmp_assert rc == 0 failed if-mib/ifTable/ifTable_data_access.c:209 _check_interface_entry_for_updates() When I do an SNMPWalk, everything looks ok (now that IPv6 is back on) on the host doing the walking, but on the other side it is spewing the above messages. I have not been able to find out anything about these. I had IPv6 turned off (by the "alias net-pf-10 off" method), but in troubleshooting these messages I turned it back on (because there were other snmpd messages complaining about unable to find ipv6 entries). Anyone have some knowledge about this? --Tim ___________________________________________________________________ / No one regards what is before his feet; we all gaze at the stars. \ \ -- Quintus Ennius / ------------------------------------------------------------------- \ \ \ \ /\ ( ) .( o ).

vsifax on Centos 5.1
by Gregory P. Ennis 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

All.... I am trying to install vsifax on a 64 bit Centos 5.1 system. The Esker staff have been helpful but no cigar. At first they thought the problem might be related to a 64 bit machine so I tried to install vsifax on a 32 bit Centos 5.1 machine and received the same error. One of their installation scripts is trying to execute a binary called eula which fails. ./eula: cannot execute binary file The tech support of vsifax advised me they had one other customer use Centos 4.5 and succeeded in a vsifax installation. I was hoping whoever had the other vsifax installation might be listening to this list and could give me a hand. Thanks much!!! Greg Ennis

[OT] Connecting to a Windows server via NFS
by Rick Barnes 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hello, I realize this may be off-topic for this mailing-list, but at this point I am not sure where the problem is continue troubleshooting. We have a server that has Windows Unified Data Storage Server that is supposed the be able to provide NFS shares. I have attempted to setup a NFS share and I think I have it setup correctly on the server. I have the User Mappings created on the Windows server and share setup. When I mount the share from my CentOS server, I get this: # mount -o rw storage:/share /srv/nfs # ls -l total 1 drwx------ 2 4294967294 4294967294 64 Dec 11 14:46 nfs # ls -l nfs ls: nfs: Permission denied My guess would be permissions on the Windows server, but the test it, I have setup "Everyone" to have full control of the share while I test it. If anyone has experience with SFU and would be will to give me some pointers that would be great. Thanks, Rick

Custom Installer Kernel
by Darryl Ross 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi All, I'm trying to remaster the boot.iso image with a custom kernel as the nForce based boards I have are not supported by the stock CentOS 5.0 installer, but they are supported by newer kernels. I need this so I can do kickstarted network installs. Is there a howto available for how to go about this? My google prowess must not be as good as I thought as I've not been able to find anything relevant. Thanks Darryl

yum freezing when removing old kernel
by Dave 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hello, Today i ran a yum update and installed kernel 2.6.18.53.1 from centosplus. I then rebooted to ensure i was running it. I was and went to remove the previous kernel and kernel-devel packages v2.6.18.53 also from centosplus. In both cases yum gets to the running transaction check then hangs, i don't get any errors it just sits there. I have to manually kill the yum process to resolve this. This does not happen with any other package add/removals. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave.

Kickstart + CentOS 5 = doesn't prompt for network information?
by Ray Van Dolson 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

This may be more appropriate for an upstream list. That said... I'm doing kickstart setups of CentOS 5. My kickstart config includes a network configuration item. Depending on options passed at boot-time, the network config item may or may not include a --hostname option, but always specifies eth0. When I do a kickstart install, I notice that even though I am using 'interactive' (basically so the user can override any of the kickstart settings should they need to), the networking screen never pops up and the values from my network get used. If the usr didn't provide a hostname entry on bootup, then localhost.localdomain gets used as the system hostname. I'd like for the user to be able to select the hostname via the installation wizard as they would normally in a non-kickstart install. Perhaps for CentOS 5 kickstarts I should just not include the network option at all in order to make the network configuration screen accessible inside the installer? Ray

Problem with driver disk on amd64
by Fridtjof Busse 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi, I have a really strange problem with a driver disk (http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b) on amd64. I'm remotly booting the system via isolinux-files, so I unfortunatly do not have access to relevant logs, all I can see the the primary console/screen. With i386, the driver disk works just fine and I can install via http. But with amd64, the installer complains no driver for the hardware could be found, which again keeps me from installing the system. Due to the lack of RTL8111 hardware, I cannot debug this locally either. Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks. -- Fridtjof Busse

5.0--> 5.1 lm_sensors "General Parse Error"
by John Thomas 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Problem and solution, not sure if correct After upgrading to 5.1 and restarting, lm_sensors complained "General Parse Error." Google pointed here: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices Where I found this under "SENSOR CHIP DRIVERS - STATUS" AMD --> "Since Kernel 2.6.19" Latest AMD K8 processors have integrated sensors which can be read directly without any additional monitoring chip. Driver contributed by Rudolf Marek. Userspace support available in lm_sensors 2.10.1. Upgrade to lm_sensors 2.10.1 is mandatory, earlier versions of libsensors will fail with a "General parse error" message. My kernel is "2.6.18-53.el5.centos.plus-i686", but I figured I must of gotten me some backported stuff in there (i.e. I'm in over my head). I upgraded to the lm_sensors in ATRPMS testing repo, and the problem went away. (lm_sensors-2.10.5-52.el5) -- Sincerely, John Thomas

Problems configuring SAMBA share on remote machine
by Andrew Allen 11 Dec '07

I'm having problems getting a SAMBA share on a remote (Windows XP) machine to allow me write access to files. I can copy/paste whole files OK from my CentOS 5 box, but can't do any editing of files on the Windows XP machine, which I use as a file server for most of my domestic data (historical reasons for using Windows!). I've tried re-setting permissions to allow write access to the cifs-mounted folders/files, but without success - any suggestions please? Thanks, Andy

Newer gamin package for CentOS 4.x?
by Bart Schaefer 11 Dec '07

The gam_server in gamin-0.1.7-1.2.EL4 occasionally goes into an infinite loop (googling indicates there have been problems with this in gam_server for a long time, I see "another attempt to fix ..." dating from 2004). Does anyone know whether a newer version of gamin has finally fixed this and if so where an RPM or SRPM for the fixed version, suitable for CentOS 4, might be found?

CentOS 5 sysreport
by Alfred von Campe 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

I stumbled across this issue because I requested to install the sysreport package in my kickstart file. Anaconda complains that such a package doesn't exist. There is a bug report about this already (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2492) but it's certainly a strange situation. 1. Anaconda doesn't think the package sysreport exists 2. yum thinks it exists: # yum list sysreport Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Available Packages sysreport.noarch 1.4.3-13.el5 base 3. But installing with yum fails: # yum install sysreport Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Package sos - 1.7-9.1.el5.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do 4. The sysreport file from the sos package fails to run: # sysreport Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/sysreport", line 31, in ? import sos.policyredhat ImportError: No module named sos.policyredhat 5. But if you extract /usr/sbin/sysreport from the sysreport package using rpm2cpio for instance, it works just fine. So it would be nice if yum would allow installing the sysreport package (see step 3 above) as that would appear to solve all the problems. Alfred

LOTD with CentOS 5
by Michael A. Peters 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Howdy folks - I just moved my laptop from Fedora to CentOS. FC6 was running rather sweet, then they decided to EOL it, and F8 - while it had some nice new features, it was just way to quirky for me. I no longer enjoy re-installing the OS quite so often, hence my move to CentOS. So I installed CentOS 5 on my laptop, and built a bunch of packages, making "yet another" repo for CentOS. These are primarily straight rebuilds (in mock) of Fedora 8 source rpm's - taking care to avoid anything that conflicts with or replaces CentOS packages. I know there are a dozen or so addon repos already - and if you are happy with them, stick with them. My goal was to stay as close to Fedora 8 packaging for these addon packages as possible, benefiting from their packaging guidelines, and also to not replace the stable very well tested CentOS packages. [yjl-misc] does not replace any CentOS packages and has stuff from F8 everything like AbiWord, Gnumeric, Bluefish, BitTorrent, etc. as well as some multimedia related libraries. [yjl-livna] has rebuilds of stuff from rpm.livna.org - mostly multimedia related, including xine and totem-xine. Depends on [yjl-misc]. [yjl-php] has php 5.2.5 and does replace the CentOS php, it should probably only be used if something you are doing requires php 5.2.x.

Help with UML editor?
by Scott Ehrlich 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

A colleague, using CentOS 5 64-bit, installed by me, asked me for the following assistance: "The site I was trying to get to was http://www.eclipsedownload.com/. I downloaded the EclipseUML free version, but it's obviously not giving me the information I need. I have Java packages in Eclipse that I would like to display in a class diagram to show how they relate to one another. Theoretically, we have/had licenses for the Omondo tool. I believe the studio edition will do what I need. If we have no licenses, I can download the tool I used previously (http://www.soyatec.com/main.php) but that may have been the cause of my Eclipse crashing. Then again, it crashes once a day or so now, so I don't know if the Soyatec's eUML2 tool will make it any worse. If you find another tool I can use or test, please let me know. I could use it as soon as possible." Thanks for any assistance. Scott

unstable kernel after update to CentOS 4.5
by Kai Schaetzl 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

On Saturday I finally upgraded a machine from CentOS 4.3 (I think) to 4.5 via yum. Seemed to went fine. However, during the following night /home got mounted read-only because of an EXT3-fs error. The next night happened the same. Also, today, I saw the first-ever kernel crash on this machine. The machine is about three years old or so, went into production two years ago with CentOS 4.1 or so and has been rock stable since then. The fs errors, no kernel crashes, no other "weird" occurences. As the problems are now happening right after upgrading to a new kernel I rather suspect a bug in the kernel (or some module) than a hardware problem. No RAID, no LVM, a few partitions on an IDE disk. I didn't file it as a bug yet. I want to first gather some more information or get some help. Here are some details. Kernel was updated from 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL to 2.6.9-55.0.12.EL. There is not a single package update missing now. Dec 9 04:30:35 nx10 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device hda3): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #1330023: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=10264, inode=808542775, rec_len=13621, name_len=100 Dec 9 04:30:35 nx10 kernel: Aborting journal on device hda3. Dec 9 04:30:35 nx10 kernel: ext3_abort called. Dec 9 04:30:35 nx10 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device hda3): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal Dec 9 04:30:35 nx10 kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only The second error tonight happened about 5 minutes earlier. With exactly the same directory inode. http://www.google.de/search?as_q=centos+rec_len+4+0&hl=de&num=30&btnG=Googl… tory&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&cr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&saf e=images shows this error is very scarce (I also tried it with fedora and got a few more). It seems to be related to heavy disk i/o, but only under certain (hardware?) circumstances and may be a bug introduced in some Fedora kernel and this krept into RHEL/CentOS 4.4/4.5. Once this happens that filesystem (in my case /home) is read-only and the machine just hangs when one tries to shutdown (probably when unmounting) or remount ro (for a file check). After a hard reset the automatic fschk in dmesg lists only an few orphan inode cleanups. Also, I found that dmesg delivers me an output of the iptables logging (which is on kern.=debug) before the problem is fixed with a reset. Can I use fsdebug safely on that system while mounted?

Re: [CentOS] building a Xen guest image on straight LVM partitions?
by Ross S. W. Walker 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Amos, The quickest way to deploy a Xen VM requires a little more prep work... Use the regular (long) method as discussed. Most use an HVM to do the install but config it as a domU afterward as most installers only work reliably in a fully virtualized environment. Create an LVM based guest for each distribution/OS you plan to use. Then for each Xen guest you want to create take an LVM snapshot of the distribution/OS of choice and use that for the guest. This way guest deployment is very quick and disk space is conserved wisely. You can start with 1 or 2 GB snapshot and as space gets tight in the snapshot add more storage. -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Tue Dec 11 01:50:01 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] building a Xen guest image on straight LVM partitions?

re-installing a package without removing it?
by Amos Shapira 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hello, I've just noticed that the file /etc/ha.d/resource.d/drbddisk, which belongs to package drbd-8.0.6-1.el5.centos, is missing from one of my test machines: # rpm --verify drbd S.5....T c /etc/drbd.conf missing /etc/ha.d/resource.d/drbddisk I'm looking at this as an opporunity to learn something about RPM which bugged me for a while - in Debian, aptitude and apt-get provide options to re-install existing package without removing it. If I understand this correctly, then "rpm -i --force drbd-8.0.6-1.el5.centos.rpm" would re-install the package. Is this correct? The rpm solution would require me to find and manually download the rpm file. Is there a way to do this through yum? Thanks, --Amos

building a Xen guest image on straight LVM partitions?
by Amos Shapira 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hello, When I needed to build Xen guests under Debian I could follow more or less the instructions in http://preview.tinyurl.com/2oc48r and the advantage of this approach is that it allows me to setup the Xen guest directly on the LVM partition without making it consider the LVM partition as an entire disk with a partition table. The advantages of this approach are: 1. I can add more LVM's later, or share LVM's at the host level among multiple Xen guests. 2. I can easily grow/shrink the Xen guest's disks. 3. I can access the Xen guest's filesystem much more easily 5. Probably less overhead in having LVM->parition->LVM. But I didn't find a way to achieve this with CentOS 5's automatic tools. Is this supported by CentOS as a Xen host or do I have to find my own way? Thanks, --Amos

OT: Rsync question
by Steven Vishoot 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hello All, I have an off topic question about rsync and was wondering if i can get some kind person help with it. I have two servers with each server have three same directories on them /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ . How would i achieve this by using rsync? I have tried rsync -avrt --delete server_ip:/dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ this does not do anything except give errors. Someone on IRC suggested i do a loop something like this, for i in "/dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/"; do rsync -av $i root@server:${i};done but when i do it i do not get what i was expecting and also receive errors about not able to transfer files. I am not able to post the exact errors since it has been a while since i have attempted this and do not wish to screw stuff up right at the moment, but in general both say rsync cannot transfer files. So in general is there a way i can do multiple directories in one command or am i left with doing them each individual as in rsync -av server:/dir1/ /dir1/ and repeat for the rest of directories. or does someone know of a better way. my final goal is to have a cronjob do this. thanks steven

5.1 Upgrade Not Working?

So both "yum upgrade" and "yum update" now are complete and there's no new packages. However, when I attempt to check my version, I'm still showing 5. # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) I remember seeing 5.1 repositories being access for the upgrades. Is it possible my system did not upgrade? # uname -r 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus Thanks, Scott

How prevent loading of audio driver at boot?
by Steve Snyder 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot time? Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] remote ssh to machine how display firefox
by Brent L. Bates 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

I've looked over the man page for `ssh' and `ssh_config' on several systems and I think people have it backwards. The pages I read indicate that `-X' is more secure than `-Y'. Under the `-X' part on several systems I have access to says: "For this reason, X11 forwarding is subjected to X11 SECURITY extension restrictions by default." The `-Y' says: "Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls." I would think being subjected to security controls would be more secure than not being subjected to them. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

Re: [CentOS] SOLVED - Can't build CentOS 5.1 kernel from source
by MHR 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Problem solved (thanks to Jim and some careful thinking): I was building the 2.6.18-53.el5.src.rpm kernel (the stock RHEL release source) instead of the 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.src.rpm (the CentOS update source). For the record, the problem was that the RHEL stock kernel source needs the rhel and olpc sections in the spec file that the CentOS kernel does not (if that makes no sense to you, read the wiki).

using vnc server and login kills X login
by Jerry Geis 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

I changed my X driver from nvidia to xv. Now when I vncviewer into my machine it KILLS my current logged in user. When I try to login it accepts my login looks like its going to do it then kills my X windows screen. When I reconnect I'm back at a login again. This is for my account user geis. If I login as root it all works fine. I was told to change from nvidia to nv as some other interaction was killing my machine with the nvidia drivers. Under the old nvidia driver I did not have an issue. Any ideas? Jerry

KMIDI problem
by fred smith 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi gang! Running 5.1 with Gnome as the default desktop, but have installed KDE too so I can run kde apps. Kmidi is the default midi player, so if I click on a midi file in firefox it brings up KMIDI. KMIDI goes merrily along playing the file, but I get NO SOUND. My motherboard has built in audio but it's disabled and I"m using an old Audiopci 128 card which seems to work fine for everything else. (Why? because it sounds MUCH better than the ac97 junk) Clues for making midi work? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ------------------------ ---- Do you not know?

Asus P5K-VM & Centos 5.1 x86_64 freezes during yum install
by Vidar Normann 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hello, I'm trying to complete a minimal install of Centos 5.1 x86_64 on a Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz running on an Asus P5K-VM motherboard - yes, this means it's the G33 chipset. (you can stop laughing now) I'm installing to two SATA-disks setup with Software Raid-1. I've installed an Intel NIC that is detected during install and I'm able to complete the install itself - mind you I have to add acpi=off and/or pci=nommconf or else the installer freezes (keyboard dies, even for numlock on/off) right before installing packages. I've also changed from IDE to AHCI in BIOS as suggested in this mailing-list - it doesn't seem to make a difference. So far the installer completes and I can log in after a reboot: I perform a yum update and at a random package it will freeze - The cursor is still blinking but I'm unable to exit yum with CTRL+C or change to another tty. As far as I know I should uprade to a newer kernel (currently using 2.6.18), but since I'm unable to install the packages needed to roll my own that's a bit difficult. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Vidar Normann

packages downgraded when going from 5.0 to 5.1
by Nicolas Thierry-Mieg 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hello, I have a few packages where the latest updated version in 5.0 is greater than the current 5.1 version. Here is the list: package, installed version (from 5.0 updates), available (in 5.1) flac 1.1.2-28.el5_0.1 1.1.2-27 flac-devel 1.1.2-28.el5_0.1 1.1.2-27 hpijs 1.6.7-4.1.el5.3 1.6.7-4.1 libsane-hpaio 1.6.7-4.1.el5.3 1.6.7-4.1 thunderbird 1.5.0.12-5.el5.centos 1.5.0.12-3.el5.centos I use mirrors.ircam.fr, and apt+synaptic but I don't think that's the reason (except perhaps for the hp stuff?) Is something wrong on my side? If not, should I downgrade those packages to the 5.1 versions? Thanks in advance cheers, Nicolas

Sendmail: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input
by David Mackintosh 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hi folks, I've recently replaced a RedHat EL 3.x system with a CentOS 5 system (fully yum'd as of Tuesday). This was a full-pave install, although we did copy the sendmail.mc from the original system. Now I get a lot of this in my logs: Dec 7 11:47:38 mail sendmail[20117]: lB7Gl6w0020116: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input The only thing even remotely credible is a Sendmail Known Bugs page which suggests it is a chatty local delivery agent, but since this is happening with outbound messages I don't think I believe this. Does anyone have any ideas what Sendmail is trying to tell me here? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

tick_divider
by Scott McClanahan 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Just installed CentOS 5.1 on VMware ESX and am attempting to play with the newly added tick_divider feature. It doesn't seem to be making any difference in the number of timer interrupts though. I set tick_divider=10 which should reduce the number of timer interrupts to 100. I wrote a nasty little scripts that queries /proc/interrupts every 1 second and still see an increase each second in about 1000 interrupts. The server is: uname -srvmpio Linux 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 00:45:16 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Obviously not running 64bit. Only one cpu has been allocated to this vm. Has anybody else used this successfully?

lmsensors sensors.conf file for gigabyte GA7N400 Pro2
by fred smith 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Having done my fresh 5.0 install a couple months ago I'm slowly getting things back in to working condition. Decided last night to try setting up lmsensors. Got it all set up (modules, etc taken care of) and it runs and reports values, but some of 'em a clearly wrong with the default sensors.conf Trying to use the old sensors.conf I used on Centos 4 produces even more whacked-out results, so I guess that's not the solution. Perusing the documentation, it seems that one can configure it properly only if one knows a lot more about the hardware than one typically knows. So, I'm wondering if anyone out there has a working config file for a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard that works on Centos 5.1? here's what I get with it as it stands right now: it8712-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore 1: +1.68 V (min = +1.42 V, max = +1.57 V) ALARM VCore 2: +2.54 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +2.61 V) +3.3V: +3.23 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) +5V: +4.99 V (min = +4.74 V, max = +5.25 V) +12V: +11.90 V (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V) -12V: -15.70 V (min = -12.63 V, max = -11.41 V) ALARM -5V: -8.10 V (min = -5.26 V, max = -4.77 V) ALARM Stdby: +4.57 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) ALARM VBat: +4.08 V fan1: 2556 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8) fan2: 2083 RPM (min = 3013 RPM, div = 8) ALARM fan3: 1591 RPM (min = 3013 RPM, div = 8) ALARM M/B Temp: +30°C (low = +15°C, high = +40°C) sensor = thermistor CPU Temp: +26°C (low = +15°C, high = +45°C) sensor = thermistor Temp3: +57°C (low = +15°C, high = +45°C) sensor = diode That -12v at -15.70 is pretty obviously wrong, as is the -5 at -8.10, and the other voltages getting ALARMs are probably wrong too, though not by as much. The MB and CPU temps shown by the BIOS are 29 and 53, so that 26 shown as CPU temp here is likely bogus. One wonders if the Temp3 is actually the CPU temp instead. (my old config used Temp2 for that, tho). Advice will be appreciated.

I just checked on my CentOS 4.5 box and: [root@fraud default]# which vi alias vi='vim' /usr/bin/vim but on my CentOS 5.1 box root gets: [root@bend etc]# which vi /bin/vi while users get: [dave@bend ~]# which vi vi: aliased to vim So vim is probably correctly installed on the 5.1 box but root no longer gets an alias to it. This is actually correct since root should be able to log in and have full functionality with just the programs in /bin, /sbin, etc. In particular, root shouldn't be dependent on anything under /usr.

Chipset support for 6750 Intel CPUs
by Drew Weaver 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Howdy, We've noticed that the new chipsets required for the **50 series of intel processors is not supported in CentOS 5. We've tried the DG31 board which (realtek nic unsupported) DG33 no support for disk controller or NICs. We also tried the dx38bt and there was no support. Fedora 8 apparently works great with all of the boards we tried. My question is, will there these boards not be supported via the installer until CentOS 6? I realize that the driver support comes from upstream, but it would be cool if they made a easy way to use a newer/updated kernel in the installer. Thanks, -Drew

LDAP and Automount
by Camron W. Fox 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Alle, I'm following the instructions in section 19.3.3.2 of the docs @ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-nfs-config-autofs…, but I cannot add the following entry in LDAP: dn: automountMapName=auto.home,dc=subaru,dc=nao,dc=ac,dc=jp objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.home After looking at the schemas in /etc/openldap/schema, I find that "automountMapName" does not exist: [root@loa schema]# find . -exec grep auto {} \; -ls attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.25 NAME 'automountInformation' DESC 'Information used by the autofs automounter' objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.13 NAME 'automount' SUP top STRUCTURAL DESC 'An entry in an automounter map' MUST ( cn $ automountInformation ) objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.2312.4.2.2 NAME 'automountMap' SUP top STRUCTURAL DESC 'An group of related automount objects' 4425955 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 748 Nov 10 04:30 ./redhat/autofs.schema [root@loa schema]# The docs say RFC2307bis is the most recently established schema, but as far as I can tell, it has expired. I've found several references on line about nisMapName vs automountMapName, but I'd like to stay with what's documented. Am I missing something? We're trying to setup a server to use for both Linux and SPARC client authentication. Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu America, INC.
