I think you probably went from Linux to Windows, not from Windows to Linux. There is an RDP *client* for Linux that works quite well with Windows Remote Desktop, but RDP/Terminal Services is completely a Microsoft thing.

disk partitioning thoughts
by Jerry Geis 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

In the past I basically used 3 partitions for hard drives. partition 1: was all centos (typically 20G) partition 2: was swap (typically 2*RAM - 2G) partition 3: was everything else I wanted, needed or carded about, database files etc... Now with really big drives coming along 750G and 1T partition 3 is getting big. Except for time to format is there a problem with that??? I'm not really to fond of trying to break up partition 3 but I am just wondering if there is a major reason why I should not be partitioning my systems this way? My systems are really just running my application (that runs on linux). It is not a huge email server, not a huge apache server. Just running linux with 100% uptime (sweet). Again just my application running an a stable platform. My application has databases that grow big. My database is not MySQL it is ISAM based. Thanks, Jerry

CentOS 5 IA64

I only have this machine until Monday. I understand that there is a beta version around somewhere? Perhaps a developer can create an ISO that I can try to boot onto this machine?

Perfomance tuning for NIS client
by joseph blase 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hi, I have both linux and solaris NIS client against a Solaris NIS Server, but my linux box are shamefully slow compare to solaris some sample: on Solaris 5.8: # ypwhich transporter02.domain.com # time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) real 0.0 user 0.0 sys 0.0 on Linux: [root@linux]# ypwhich transporter02.domain.com [root@amsdc2-n-s04taw root]# time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) groups=36923(u_036923) real 0m10.509s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.090s ********** Route**************** [root@linux]# traceroute transporter02 traceroute to transporter02.domain.com (IP), 30 hops max, 46 byte packets 1 nlamsdc2mp078-hsrp.net-equip.domain.net (IP) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000ms 2 transporter02.domain.com (IP) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000 ms solaris# traceroute transporter02 traceroute to transporter02.domain.com (145.6.246.53), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 transporter02.domain.com (145.6.246.53) 0.462 ms 0.279 ms 0.306 ms Although I considered that latency involved but still I'm not statisfied, is there any tunable parameter that I can set on linux box to somehow improve the performance? I also noticed things that I'm not sure if this is default on linux nis bindings: [root@linux]# pwd /var/yp/binding [root@linux]# ls NONAME.DOMAIN.COM.1 NONAME.DOMAIN.COM.2 ===> why there are two of this on linux? solaris# cd /var/yp/binding solaris# ls NONAME.DOMAIN.COM xprt.tcp.3 xprt.ticlts.3 xprt.ticotsord.2 xprt.udp.2 xprt.tcp.1 xprt.ticlts.1 xprt.ticots.3 xprt.ticotsord.3 xprt.udp.3 xprt.tcp.2 xprt.ticlts.2 xprt.ticotsord.1 xprt.udp.1 ypbind.pid Thanks in advance for any feedback. Things I've tried to tweak: * put NIS Server IP on /etc/yp.conf * put NIS Server IP on /etc/hosts no positive result. joseph

help with mdadm/mount
by Craig White 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Just upgraded from CentOS-3 to 5 (yeah - probably not the best idea) I am using software raid In order to ensure that I had enough space on /usr (which was a bit tight), I had an extra partition that I changed to /usr/share from /etc/fstab... /dev/md5 /usr/share ext3 defaults 1 2 but it won't mount up at boot. It will mount after boot if I issue the command 'mount -a' (obviously because of the fstab entry). Is there something like an mdadm label that I need to change? Craig

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
by Kai Schaetzl 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00". The Xen VM file is allowed to grow up to 2GB. The kickstart commands for partioning are: clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=xvda part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=xvda volgroup VolGroup00 pv.2 --pesize=32768 pv.2 logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 --grow logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=416 --grow --maxsize=832 This is taken exactly from the "template" kickstart file, I just added the --initlabel after reading the kickstart tips on the wiki. I read the kickstart part of the RH Installation and Deployment Guide, but it didn't help in this respect. Apparently --pesize=32768 is a maximum for volgroup extent sizes and is harmless. When I change to creating a partition for / it works just fine. Can someone help? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

A little help with yum.d repo files
by Bob Taylor 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

I'm new to CentOS. I was running Fedora core 3 before I installed CentOS 5.0. I'm looking at the files in CentOS /etc/yum.d and the same files in Fedora 3. I'm a little confused as I have never looked at yum before. I now have a full time connection so now I can use yum. I have been looking for supported rpms for XEmacs and Gnucash. What repos do I need to add to obtain these two apps with their dependencies and at least one example for CentOS? Thanks in advance. Bob -- Bob Taylor <bob8221(a)gmail.com>

OT -- FLASH question
by fred smith 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

sorry, this is OT. I'm using the 9.x flash plugin with firefox on Centos 5. I keep hearing about "fullscreen mode" in flash, and it is said that it works on Linux. How do you get into that mode? I saw some videos from youtube the other day on a windows box and they were full screen. On my Centos box the same videos play in a small window in the browser. I see no mechanism at all for entering a fullscreen mode. Clues? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

Xen VMs: regular filesystem corruption
by Kai Schaetzl 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

It seems that Xen VMs are subject to file system corruption under certain conditions. I find that often when I reboot or shutdown a VM the filesystem is corrupted after that and the VM no longer usable. The xm create then fails with some Python errors and an eventual Runtime Error: unable to read filesystem No handlers could be found for logger "xend". Error: boot loader didn't return any data. and I have to throw it away as there doesn't seem a way to fix that (or is there?). I use files for storing the VMs. There is enough space on the drive. The problem seems to happen when I reboot the machine from within itself, not each time, but almost each time. When I shut it down with CTRL+ALT+DEL or with the Shutdown button it doesn't seem to happen. I also find that sometimes a good VM will start up and crash early with a kernel panic, but start up just fine when I try a second or third time. Most often this happened after a new installation on the first reboot. Anyone else seen this or known how to fix that?

finding mysql.h & errmsg.h on CentOS?
by Rogelio 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

I am not sure how to modify the config.h script for my CentOS 4.5 box (running Nagios + NDOutils). NDOutils seem to compile fine (./configure && make), but I'm having problems when I try to run the final command in the README file. ********* problems *************************** ndo2db-2x -c /etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported, or was not found on your system. ************************************************ Someone else (http://tinyurl.com/2jnef8) suggested modding the config.h file in order to eliminate that command CHANGE #include <mysql/mysql.h> #include <mysql/errmsg.h> TO #include </usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h> #include </usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/errmsg.h> However, when I looked for mysql.h (e.g. "locate mysql.h") I couldn't find find them (maybe b/c I installed from package?). What might I need to do in order to modify this script for CentOS so that ./configure will run properly and let me install this?

OT: a very big problem with ipsec-tools on CentOS5

Hi all, I am trying to establish a vpn tunnel between one CentOS5 IPSec server and a roadwarrior client, CentOS5 too.

Safe method to remove old kernels
by Scott Moseman 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

# rpm -qa | grep kernel-2 | sort kernel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL kernel-2.6.9-42.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL kernel-2.6.9-55.EL I'm running the most recent kernel available, and I've never had a problem with any past kernels, so I don't believe there's any reason to keep all of them. I guess kernels get a fresh install instead of an upgrade? Can I safely rpm-e the old kernel packages? Should this be something I do through yum instead? Some of my CentOS servers have even more old kernels than this sample. Thanks, Scott

question(s) about LVM snapshots
by Tony Schreiner 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

I've recently begun to try out LVM snapshots and I have 2 things I'm wondering about My intention is to run backups off the snapshot. As a first iteration, I left 15% of the disk for the snapshot LV. 1. The HOWTO instructions suggest that the snapshot is in effect as long as the snapshot LV exists, and use lvremove to disable the snapshot. Is this the proper way? 2. I chose 15% because the disk is not that active and I think it will be plenty for the duration of the backup I'm doing. Is there a way to track how much space the snapshot is actually using? Cheers, Tony Schreiner Biology Department Boston College

I anm trying to enable XFS with no success. I followed the instructions provided in http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus I installed the new kernel. Example: 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus I also installed these packages as described in a post I found yum install --enablerepo=centosplus xfsprogs xfsprogs-devel lsmod shows nothing about XFS I would image there are others out there running XFS on Centos boxes.

RPMforge metadata problems
by Dag Wieers 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi, Yesterday evening I added a TIMESTAMP to the root of my tree in order to follow up on the correctness of mirrors. And after 12 hours more than 50% of the mirrors do not have that TIMESTAMP file. It is possible that it is filtered out, so the test is not at all valid. I am going to reduce the number of mirrors and only add the ones that have a recent TIMESTAMP. However since information on why this happens (or when this happens) is scarce, I am not sure if reducing the mirrorlist will be effective. So hopefully, after this weekend the problems some of you have seen with Yum and the mirrorlist will be a problem of the past. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

How to enable my RAID again
by Theo Band 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi I have setup software RAID two years ago using FC3 using the graphical installer (RAID1). In the mean time I installed CENTOS4.5 and everything is running fine. At least that was my perception. It now turns out that raid is not working and that LVS just finds 4 partitions from four disks and that's it.: /dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.88G 0 /dev/sdb1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 10.00G /dev/sdc1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 74.94G /dev/sdd1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 70.81G These are 4 disk of each 200GB, and the disks have these partitions: Using /dev/sda (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 101.975 primary ext3 boot 2 101.975 97284.243 primary lvm 3 97284.243 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdc: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdd: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid So my feeling is that I need to setup the RAID again, but I don't want to make any mistakes here, since this is a live system working fine. I tried to read the mdadm manual but it's not quit clear to me what to do. # mdadm -A --scan -v mdadm: No arrays found in config file Shows I have to do more. The previous fedora installation is still around, but is doesn't contain a /etc/mdadm.conf file. Can anyone help me with some steps to take to get it running again. I do have backups, but if things go wrong restoring takes several hours. Thanks, Theo PS. Send for the third time.

apt-cacher for CentOS
by James A. Peltier 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi All, Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not hundreds of times. If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this with CentOS? -- James A.

CentOS 5 LiveCD better than the real one?
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Folks, I am terribly puzzled by an issue reported as bug 2381 [http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2381] definitely an upstream bug, as it does the same under X/OS 5 and StartCom 5. Simply put: Hibernation fails with horrendous I/O errors after swsusp starts dumping to swap. What bugs me is that hibernating from the CentOS 5 LiveCD *works*!!! (on the same hardware) How could I investigate to see what is the relevant difference between the LiveCD and the installed system, WRT suspend-to-disk? It has been said that "CentOS 5 i386 Live CD is based on the ADIOS Live CD Project", but also that "CentOS Project would like to thank Patrice Guay for the creation of this CD". Who is supposed to know better about this issue? Also, how could I check if upstream has a similar bug report? I don't have any RHN acct. It's a shame that RHEL5 && clones fail to work properly with a specific laptop (Acer Travelmate 5310/5320/5710/5720 have the same architectural design), but an ad-hoc LiveCD works!

Is there a command line option on grep that says count ALL occurances on a line not just the first one??? echo "jerry jerry" | grep -c jerry only returns 1 and not 2. Looking at the man page I did not see anything like that. Thanks, Jerry

On CentOS 4.5, I'm trying to upgrade MySQL 4 to MySQL 5. (I enabled the RPMforge with the repository protection) rpm -qa | grep mysql gives me: mysql-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1.0.1 mysql-server-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1.0.1 But when I try to update yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade mysql-server I get Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 484 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Could not find update match for mysql No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion I suspect that something here has to do with this not upgrading properly?

Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/

11 Oct '07

I'm looking to troubleshoot this error when I run "tail /etc/httpd/logs/error_log" [Tue Oct 09 07:22:59 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/ (I get this when I run Nagios' "./check_http -H 127.0.0.1".) All I did was install CentOS and then modify httpd.conf to include "ServerName 192.168.1.10:80" and also run " htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin". Is this a permissions issue on my /var/www/html/ folder? I tried to get the Apache page to serve properly, and it's not doing that. And when I try from another computer, I don't see anything in the logs, which made me think it was an IPTABLES issue (which it doesn't appear to be).

Why tzdata-2007h [RHEA-2007:0928-05] only for CentOS 2?
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

I might be stupid and ask an idiot or offensive question, but here it is: "Why was tzdata-2007h [RHEA-2007:0928-05] only released for CentOS 2, when upstream has released it for all the versions?" The guys from X/OS have released it for 5.0 along with the other updates (on Oct. 9). Are the "enhancements"... "not important" as long as they're not "security updates"? True, the guys from SL have only released tzdata-2007h in "fastbugs" -- which is something you should not use --, but I am asking in a single place: why? Thanks, R-C Be smarter than spam.

Kernel Update and Ultra Monkey
by Mark Maiden 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hi, We currently have an CentOS 4.5 running Ultra Monkey box serving web requests to two real servers. Info as below : ipvsadm-1.24-6 heartbeat-2.1.2-3.el4.centos CentOS 4.5(kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL) All was working fine this morning until I upgraded our OS and patched the kernel to kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL via YUM(CESA-2007:0937). After that users started complaining that they were being switched from one real server to another ie sessions weren't sticking. Nothing has changed on the Ultra Monkey configuration. Has anybody experiences an issue with this kernel causing UM problems? -- Mark Maiden Systems Manager Globoforce, Ltd 6 Beckett Way Parkwest Dublin 12 Ireland t: +353 1 625 8812 f: +353 1 625 8880 e: markm(a)globoforce.com www.globoforce.com http://guidance.gospelcom.net/answer.htm

How to export X displays
by techlists＠comcast.net 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

I have a CentOS server at home and want to view the X display on a laptop running Ubuntu, and not having much success. Here's what's been tried so far: I ran this command on the CentOS server: export DISPLAY=192.168.0.18:0.0 And ran this command on the Ubuntu laptop: xauth +192.168.0.2 When I try to run, say, xclock on the Ubuntu laptop, this is the error message I'm getting: [root@centos-ws ~]# xclock Error: Can't open display: 192.168.0.18:0.0 I'm assuming there's an important little detail I'm missing somewhere, but don't know what. Any suggestions? Paul

Replacing failed software RAID drive
by Hugh E Cruickshank 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

CentOS release 4.5 Hi All: First of all I will admit to being spoiled by my MegaRAID SCSI RAID controllers. When a drive fails on one of them I just replace the drive and carry on with out having to do anything else. I now find myself in the situation where I have a failed drive on a non-MegaRAID controller, specifically an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller. The system is an Acer G700 with 8 internal hot-swappable SCSI drives arranged in two banks of 4 drives. Each bank is connected to a separate channel on the 29160 controller. When I installed CentOS 4 I enable software mirroring between the two banks so that I ended up with 4 pairs of mirrored drive (sda/sde, sdb/sdf, sdc/sdg, sdd/sdh). The problem I have now is that it is sda (the boot drive) that has failed. I have not encountered this problem before and therefore I need to make sure that I understand what I need to do before I start mucking around with things and dig myself into a deeper hole. I have spent much time attempting to research the problem but have not been able to come with any definite information to help. As far as I can see I have two options... Option 1: Leave the system running and replace the drive. Then either the RAID software will re-sync the drives or I can manually sync them with mdadm. I have not seen anything that will support this option but I am hoping that it is a valid option. Option 2: Create a boot disk (floppy or CD) that I can boot from but that points to sde (the boot mirror). Shutdown the system and replace the failed sda drive. Boot from the new boot disk. Format, partition and re-sync the new sda from sde. Shutdown, remove the boot disk, and reboot from the new sda. Can anyone confirm either of these options and point me in the right direction to any documentation that would assist me. TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

nscd segfaulting on centos 4.5

CD emulation (a la daemontools)
by Chris Mauritz 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a method for mounting virtual CD devices with CD image files. I keep images (.CUE/.BIN pairs) of my CD collection on a NAS appliance tucked away in my closet. I'd like to write a script to mount each one, create ID tags, rip the tracks, then move along to the next one. I figure with a quad core opteron, it should be able to crank through them in a few days (it's a few thousand CD's worth of images). Anyone done this before with their trusty CentOS box? I'd be using CentOS 5. Best,

Re: [CentOS] PCI-X SATA RAID Controllers
by Steve Bluck 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Thanks for the replies (and thanks Matt, PCI-e is indeed what I meant -brain freeze moment), I realise "linux dd" works -and is in fact how I've installed CentOS 5, but unfortunately I require a card (PCI even!) that will not require driver updates every kernel update and support a minimum of 6 ports in RAID 1. Being a noob at Linux I'm having trouble sourcing a card that is supported in the 2.6.18 kernel without the need to install drivers, and replies from manufacturers either evade the question or require a Masters degree in Linux, so I thought I'd tap into the combined knowledge of everyone here! So I'm still open to suggestions! Cheers Steve > I would recommend PCI-E if you want the fastest card available, and > using the 'linux dd' option before you install CentOS 5 allows you to > load the 3ware kernel module prior to installation which is what I > did to get my 9650SE-16 working. ;-)

ssh X11 forwarding not working
by James A. Peltier 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I'm having problems with ssh.com and X11 forwarding ssh: SSH Secure Shell 3.2.0 (non-commercial version) on i686-pc-linux-gnu I am in the process of testing some of my machines with CentOS 5 x86/x86_64 and have run into a bit of a snag. X11 Forwarding is not working. I've tried all combinations of (+/-)[Xx] and it doesn't work, seemingly it doesn't want to set the environment variable properly and therefore doesn't know where to send the X requests. Any hints? I've checked the ssh config files and they seem to be identical to the config files on our existing SuSE 10.0 machines which are working. This is troubling indeed. -- James A.

two internet connections questions
by Jerry Geis 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I have two internet connections. One is a partial T1 of data (and rest voice) the other is business cable. Both connections come into my office into (2) centos 5 boxs with 2 ethernet cards in each box. The second ethernet card is 192.168.1.59 and 192.168.1.1 respectively. I have all my DHCP settings setup for a gateway of 192.168.1.1 In the event that the internet connection is DOWN (box is fine just the cable modem is down) how do I set things up so I can take advantage of the second internet connection? Thanks for any tips. Jerry

Look for users in both LDAP and /etc/passwd
by Tronn Wærdahl 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Im running CentOS 5 with samba configured as PDC, with samba 3.0.24 and openldap-servers-2.3.30-2. My /etc/nsswitch.conf is like this: passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap The problem is when I try to restart LDAP (/etc/init.d/ldap restart) then the init script just hangs. I suppose it will try to run slapd as the ldap user The ldap user is not in LDAP only in /etc/passwd, how can i configure my system to look for users first in LDAP and then in /etc/passwd When I remove LDAP from my /etc/nsswitch.conf, so it looks like below passwd: files shadow: files group: files then ldap start up nicely, but then my LDAP users can't sign in I tried to do different changes in pam, but without any progress Please advice

yum $releasever thinks it's 1 instead of 3
by Steve Campbell 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can someone tell me where this variable is defined, and any suggestions on how to fix this problem, please? Might a reinstall of yum packages fix this, as a last resort? Thanks very much.

That seems to have worked. One other question. If a program is already running on the remote machine and you want to move the display to the local machine, can that be done? i.e. I have Thunderbird already running on the remote machine, and would like to move it to the local machine. Would that work? Or would it be necessary to kill the remote process and re-start it with the tunneled X session? Thanks, Paul

ot: vlans and vmware
by Gordon McLellan 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Does anyone have VLAN tagging working from within a guest on vmware-server? I'm running a centos 4.5 guest on a centos 5 host with vmware server 1.04and I've tried creating vlans using both the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts method and just doing it from the cli via vconfig. Either way appears to work, the OS creates the vlans, but I think vmware's network adapter must be eating the tags or something, since the guest is not able to talk to the real vlan on the switch. On the host I setup vmnet3 to be bridged to eth1. I bring eth1 up on the host but don't configure it in anyway. Vmnet3 is configured as eth1 on the guest as well. If I create vlans on eth1 on the host, it is able to talk to corresponding vlans on the switch. I'm wondering if there's some trick to get it work or some configuration string needed in the vmx file? Right now I have the vlans setup on the host and then bridged to vmnetX adapters for the guests. But this is kind of messy since I have to take all my virtual machines down to change anything. Thanks! Gordon

Strange sound/browser problem on Centos5
by fred smith 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I just did (the other day) a clean install of Centos 5 and am having a really weird problem that I never had before (on centos 4.5). when listening to nrk p2 (http://www.nrk.no/p2/) using Firefox, and when the small window for the player gets obscured by another window the sound stops playing. Move the obscuring window and it starts right up. I haven't yet been able to tell if it is paused, or if it is just silenced but still running. Anybody got any clues? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

AW: [CentOS] CentOS 5 release for IBM z/Series?
by Nils.Reimann＠izb.de 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi dag! Thx for your reply! So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z? At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would be great if we can give something to the community! Personaly i can't help very much cause i'm the only knowledge carrier here for z/linux, with anoter colleague, and so we havent much time. How is development going on for centos on z and how can we help so i can talk with my head. Thx for reading!

We definitely are looking for people to show their interest and to help out. If you feel strong about having an s390 release, maybe we could create an s390 Special Interest Group, hopefully if enough interest exists and we have to resources (mainly manpower) to build and support it once again, it can happen.

File retrieval from outside hangs, internally is okay, only Centos5 affected
by Bent Terp 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi! I have a really weird problem with some of my servers, namely all the ones running Centos5 When I try to download a file from the server to a machine outside our Cisco 6500 router/firewall, the download hangs about half the times (15 out of 40) when less than half a megabyte into the transfer (varied from 76 kb to 496 kb). One server has a portchannel (Cisco speak for ethernet bundle), others do not, some use e1000, some use broadcom, I've tried httpd and scp transfers, I've tried from three different clients, Here's the really annoying part: the problem only occurs when downloading from outside the firewall, not when transferring files internally in the serverroom! And the switch is the firewall is a modular chassis, so the data comes over the same backplane regardless. And there's 42 files in /proc/net/sys/ipv4 which differ between EL4 and Centos5, so I'm a little lost here Anybody got some ideas? with kind regards, Bent PS Crossposted from Centos Forum, in case sombody on the list, who doesn't read the forum, can help me

Intel G33 Compatibility for Centos Server
by Michael Rock 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Been running rock solid servers on Centos 3 and 4 for years but equipment is starting to die so it is time. I was thinking along the lines of an Intel Q6600 on an Asus P5K-VM mobo with the new G33 chipset utilizing SATA. Is anyone having success with this board or any of the G33 chipsets where I am not going to run into all kinds of install problems? I see these other threads of install problems with the new chipsets so are a bit leary of making the purchase without hearing of some success stories. Any recommendations? thx -- Mike ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight's top picks. What will you watch tonight?

IPV6 warnings/errors
by Steve Campbell 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I have just installed my first CentOS 5 server. I run proftpd on the server and I am getting a lot of warnings about IPV6 things. I do not have ip6tables turned on, but figure there is something else I have not done properly. A few of the errors are like: Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "proftpd" pam_unix(proftpd:session): session opened for user steve by (uid=0) Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "proftpd" library2.cnpapers.com (::ffff:216.30.205.128[::ffff:216.30.205.128]) - error setting IPV6_V6ONLY: Protocol not available I also see, when I do an ifconfig, references to inet6 lines such as inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host for my loopback and similar lines for my eth devices. Am I in trouble and is there something I need to do? Thanks for any help. Steve Campbell

pam_ldap + nscd
by Felix Schwarz 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I'd like to use nscd for passwd+group caching. pam_ldap is configured and works (e.g. 'id foo' returns the correct user id if foo is present in ldap). If I start nscd manually (not started by default), 'id foo' returns 'No such user'. As soon as I stop nscd, 'id foo' starts working again. I suspect nscd is only looking at /etc/passwd because 'id root' always works (root is present in /etc/passwd). This is on a CentOS 5 system. Disabling SELinux did not help. I did not attach any config files purposefully because I don't know where to look for the problem and attaching nsswitch.conf, ldap.conf etc. would result in a huge post. Nevertheless, I will consider any information needed to diagnose the problem although I suspect that this a very simple configuration problem. Thank you very much :-) fs

anaconda kernel parameter to load module
by Farkas Levente 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

hi, how can i add kernel parameters to anaconda to load a module? in a normal booting initrd contains an init script so i can modify it load a given module (after i put it into the initrd). but in case of installer the initrd contains a binary init so i can't modify it. in this case how can i define kernel param (eg: through isolinux.cfg) to load additional modules? suppose i've got an xfs partition on which the installer reside and i use lilo to load the kernel and initrd, but after that the kernel can't read anything from the partition since it's not load xfs. is there any way to load kernel modules in this case trough kernel params (ie. append)? thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

firefox slow/unresponsive under KDE on CentOS 4
by Jaap Eldering 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I'm a user of a CentOS 4.4 system at our department (personally I use Debian). I use KDE and when I run firefox, it sometimes tends to be very slow in response when clicking on links and especially when I click on the navigation bar to edit the url: it sometimes takes up to 2-3 seconds before firefox responds. Switching to Gnome completely solves the problem without any other changes. I've tried to install firefox directly from mozilla.com but that version exhibits exactly the same problems. Is this a known problem? I couldn't find anything about this by googling. Thanks, Jaap Eldering The version string from the CentOS installed firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2 The version string of the firefox I installed from mozilla.com: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 uname -a: Linux stofschoten 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL #1 Fri Oct 6 06:02:37 CDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Tearing our hair out on this one. Trying to install CentOS 5 x86_64 on a Supermicro X7DVL-E with 2 Xeon L5320 quad core CPUs, 3Ware SATA RAID controller in a mirrored setup and 4 GB of memory. Installation crashes at random places while copying the files. We've run memtest86 for 24 hours without any errors, replaced the RAID controller, motherboard and disks, but still no luck.

John R Pierce >> that sounds more like a desktop system, not really >> what I'd consider >> server grade. no ECC support, no redundant power >> supplies, etc etc. Going this route has served me just as well for the last 3 years and at a cost I can afford. This is actually a major step up from what I am running and should see better mysql performance. (pretty high CPU utilization currently) Although these old servers were cutting edge when I originally installed Centos the installs were pretty smooth. But since have had a few bad experiences with some other Asus Nvidia chipsets on install. So I am looking for some proven success with the G33 chipset so I do not end up with a board which going to be a pain on install. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.

Xen crash
by Nicolas Sahlqvist 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, I'm new to this list and joined since I am volunteering as a tech admin for a non profit organization called CouchSurfing (.com) where we tried to move the web servers to Xen zones and this has proven quite unstable since the our defined zones tends to crash on a daily basis with the latest CentOS 5 Xen updates. The physical boxes have 2 quad core 1.6GHz Xeon CPU's and 4 GB RAM, there is currently only 1 domain on each box, configured with 2.2GB RAM. Domain 0: [root@nd10254 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen xen-libs-3.0.3-25.0.4.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 xen-3.0.3-25.0.4.el5 Web1: [root@web1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 The Domain0 zone is indeed rock stable, while the Web1 etc. are crashing daily with the 2.6.18-8.1.14 Xen kernel and the stack trace we see after a few hours is as follows: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#5!

Etc., etc etc, It does not crash the Xen zones directly, but clogs up the Xen web1 console etc. We did not see this when running the 2.6.18-8.1.8 Xen kernel, instead the Xen zones crashed less frequent with a out of memory problem as follows: Call Trace: [<ffffffff802aeefc>] out_of_memory+0x4e/0x1d3 [<ffffffff8020efe8>] __alloc_pages+0x229/0x2b2 [<ffffffff8023fd5b>] __lock_page+0x5e/0x64 [<ffffffff80232637>] read_swap_cache_async+0x42/0xd1 [<ffffffff802b32a2>] swapin_readahead+0x4e/0x77 [<ffffffff8020929d>] __handle_mm_fault+0xae3/0xf46 [<ffffffff80260709>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0x14 [<ffffffff80262fe8>] do_page_fault+0xe48/0x11dc [<ffffffff80207138>] kmem_cache_free+0x77/0xca [<ffffffff8025cb6f>] error_exit+0x0/0x6e We think the whole problem is how the kernel fails to handle resource cloging (to many interrupts, heavy CPU and memory usage in the defined zones etc.) from stubmbling on some fuzzy posts on the net, example: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/26617 Is this problem known to you or new, any ideas on howto resolve it?

Need advice on 3rd party repository
by Jesse Cantara 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hello, I am looking for some advice on a way to update some packages to newer releases than are available in the standard CentOS repositories. Specifically, I am trying to update apache and PHP to conform to "Scanalert"'s "Hacker Safe" website security scan, and the required versions do not exist in the CentOS repositories. I'm using CentOS 5. I wish to stay within the realm of yum, in order to avoid RPM-dependency-heck which I have experienced before, trying to source random third party RPMs that never work out properly. I also wish to keep the system in a better state of maintenance by sticking to yum. It's just more organized (and easier) and will help keep things up to date in the future as well. Is there any other option than to go with a 3rd party repository to hopefully find later versions of apache and PHP? Does anybody have a recommended repository source? Thank you for any help and advice you can give, -Jesse Cantara

I've got a game server program (Enemy Territory Quake Wars 1.1) that fails to resolve a DNS entry unless I setenforce 0, and I'd like to find the audit entry that tells me why.

3Ware 9550SX and latency/system responsiveness
by Simon Banton 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Dear list, I thought I'd just share my experiences with this 3Ware card, and see if anyone might have any suggestions. System: Supermicro H8DA8 with 2 x Opteron 250 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM installed. 9550SX-8LP hosting 4x Seagate ST3250820SV 250GB in a RAID 1 plus 2 hot spare config. The array is properly initialized, write cache is on, as is queueing (and supported by the drives). StoreSave set to Protection. OS is CentOS 4.5 i386, minimal install, default partitioning as suggested by the installer (ext3, small /boot on /dev/sda1, remainder as / on LVM VolGroup with 2GB swap). Firmware from 3Ware codeset 9.4.1.2 in use, firmware/driver details: //serv1> /c0 show all /c0 Driver Version = 2.26.05.007 /c0 Model = 9550SX-8LP /c0 Memory Installed = 112MB /c0 Firmware Version = FE9X 3.08.02.005 /c0 Bios Version = BE9X 3.08.00.002 /c0 Monitor Version = BL9X 3.01.00.006 I initially noticed something odd while installing 4.4, that writing the inode tables took a longer time than I expected (I thought the installer had frozen) and the system overall felt sluggish when doing its first yum update, certainly more sluggish than I'd expect with a comparatively powerful machine and hardware RAID 1. I tried a few simple benchmarks (bonnie++, iozone, dd) and noticed up to 8 pdflush commands hanging about in uninterruptible sleep when writing to disk, along with kjournald and kswapd from time to time. Loadave during writing climbed considerably (up to >12) with 'ls' taking up to 30 seconds to give any output. I've tried CentOS 4.4, 4.5, RHEL AS 4 update 5 (just in case) and openSUSE 10.2 and they all show the same symptoms. Googling around makes me think that this may be related to queue depth, nr_requests and possibly VM params (the latter from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=121434#c275) These are the default settings: /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth = 254 /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests = 8192 /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs = 3000 /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio = 30 3Ware mentions elevator=deadline, blockdev --setra 16384 along with nr_requests=512 in their performance tuning doc - these alone seem to make no difference to the latency problem. Setting dirty_expire_centisecs = 1000 and dirty_ratio = 5 does indeed reduce the number of processes in 'b' state as reported by vmstat 1 during an iozone benchmark (./iozone -s 20480m -r 64 -i 0 -i 1 -t 1 -b filename.xls as per 3Ware's own tuning doc) but the problem is obviously still there, just mitigated somewhat. The comparison graphs are in a PDF here: http://community.novacaster.com/attach.pl/7411/482/iozone_vm_tweaks_xls.pdf Incidentally, the vmstat 1 output was directed to an NFS-mounted disk to avoid writing it to the arry during the actual testing. I've tried eliminating LVM from the equation, going to ext2 rather than ext3 and booting single-processor all to no useful effect. I've also tried benchmarking with different blocksizes from 512B to 1M in powers of 2 and the problem remains - many processes in uninterruptible sleep blocking other IO. I'm about to start downloading CentOS 5 to give it a go, and after that I might have to resort to seeing if WinXP has the same issue. My only real question is "where do I go from here?" I don't have enough specific tuning knowledge to know what else to look at. Thanks for any pointers. Simon

GFS-kernel module - Version Magic Error
by Manish Kathuria 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Are the RPMs for the latest GFS kernel module GFS-kernel-2.6.9-72.2.0.8 to be used with the version 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL available ? I tried to compile the Source RPMs available from the Red Hat site but the modules can't be loaded because of invalid module format arising from version magic issues. The syslog shows: node0 kernel: gfs: version magic '2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.2' should be '2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4' node0 modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting gfs (/lib/modules/2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp/kernel/fs/gfs/gfs.ko): Invalid module format The error message is actually surprising since the Source RPM has been compiled on a system having gcc-3.4. To complicate matters the modinfo indicates vermagic: 2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.2 When are the CentOS builds expected for this module ? Thanks, Manish

Gnome panels
by fred smith 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi! Just installed Centos 5 (I've been running 4.x which was an upgrade from previous versions, for a long time), but this one was a fresh install. Now Gnome gives me the two panel configuration (one at top, one at bottom) but I prefer the single, larger panel at the bottom. Anyone know how to tweak Gnome to revert to the single-panel form?

New launcher in Gnome
by fred smith 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi! In Centos 5, when I add a launcher to the desktop, it doesn't allow me to choose an icon for the launcher. After creating it, right-click/properties also has no way to choose an icon. It seems to assign one itself, and the one i get looks like a small terminal window, or something. How can I pick the icon for a desktop launcher myself? My old Centos 4.5 installation allowed me to pick the icon. This seems to be a step backwards. Tks!

Slightly OT: Building latest ImageMagick on CentOS 3
by Bart Schaefer 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

I grabbed the latest ImageMagick.src.rpm (version 6.3.6, I believe) from imagemagic.org and verified that I can compile it by hand on CentOS 3. I then commented out all the BuildPrereq and BuildRequires lines and verified that "rpmbuild -bc ImageMagick.spec" behaved sensibly. However, when I try to run "rpmbuild -bb ImageMagick.spec" I get a failure not because of any compilation problems but because the PerlMagick got installed relative to the real root directory rather than relative to the temporary build root, so none of those files could be found when the final packaging step was done. Can anyone give me some quick instructions on how to get those files to install in the correct relative location? My spec file foo is a few years rusty.

near-realtime file system replication
by John R Pierce 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Whats available for doing near-realtime master->slave file replication between two CentOS systems? Cronjobs running rsync won't cut it. Ideally, I'd like something that works like SLONY-I does for Postgres databases, where all file system block level transactions on the master get replicated to the 2nd system on a 'as fast as practical' basis (a second or two of lag is acceptable). If the slave is offline or connectivity is interrupted, these transactions should be journaled so they can be played back when things resume. I'm open to other approaches, so far I've found very little in this category... I briefly considered using LVM mirroring over iscsi to the slave, but A) this is synchronous, B) recovery from a service interruption would require remirroring the whole volume. I've been reading about GFS but am somewhat confused as to its capabilities. The examples given on redhat's pages seem to involve shared storage (SAN or whatever) and distributed cluster access, I don't need any of that, just simple master->slave one way asynchronous replication.

Asterisk

Is an RPM for Asterisk (the PBX system) available for CentOS 5? It looks like RPMforge is supposed to have one, as I can see dependent packages like asterisk-sounds, but the base package seems to be absent from the repository.

Duplicating My CentOS Install For Other Other Systems
by Antonio Dupont 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hello, I have a CentOS install that has updated packages, and different users with certain privileges and modified GNOME menus. When a user logs in they are very limited to what they can do. i.e. browse the internet, run some php scripts on the local MySQL database I have set and that's about it. I would like to take the stuff I setup and make it extremely easy for someone to duplicate the install with the same customizations on their own hardware with out having to answer any install questions and keeping the same security I have set up. My idea is to some how make a hybrid LiveCD/kickstart install. One where a non-technical user could put in the CD/DVD boot their system and have CentOS automatically installed with a predetermined partitioning scheme, security, users automatically created, packages, and etc. Essentially I want to take an image of my configured system and have it installed on another system with minimal input. I've done cloning and remimaging in the past to handle this, but now I won't have control of the hardware that CentOS will be installed on, so I want anaconda to take care of that. The only thing I can say to the user is that the computer has to be on the Red Hat Hardware compatibility list. I've searched the Internet for some suggestions, but have come up short. If you have any input or direction that you could help with, I am very appreciative. Thanks in advance. Antonio

Damaged rpm database?
by M. Fioretti 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hello, while doing some maintenance on a Centos 4.4 box, I ran rpm -qa --last and got: error: rpmdb: damaged header #91 retrieved -- skipping. ...lots of lines identical to the one above and finally: the_last_package_I_installed_yesterday.rpm all the other rpms in reverse installation order I've seen via google that this should mean there is a damaged rpm database and it should be rebuilt with one or two command, however: 1) how can I find out _why_ the damage happened? 2) what are the right command and options to restore the database? The examples I've found are 5+ years old, so I'm not really inclined to run them as they are. TIA, Marco

Hi all. I'm having problems trying to suspend/hibernate my Dell Latitude D810 Laptop. Basically I have an ATI X600 videographics and SATA harddrive and run httpd and mysqld daemons on it. I use fglrx (ATI propietary drivers) and the open too with no success. I tried with 1 and 2 screens configurations with no success. I tried with CA and/or with battery with no success. I need some help to debug de suspend/hibernate proccess and help to discover at wich point the process is stopped. When I try to suspend/hibernate, the screens are powered off, but the system not go into suspend mode or power off (when hibernating). Then I have to use power button to power off/on the lapton and when I login into gnome, It says me that had a problem with suspend/hibernate process. All help is apretiated!! Regards

DNAT rule for vsftp --(PASSIVE FTP)

Hi all, I want to run vsftp behind a firewall.(i.e DMZ zone) . It is runnig as passive ftp. the theroy behind passive ftp is , - FTP server's port 21 from anywhere ( Client initiates connection) - FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1024 (Server responds to client's control port) - FTP server's ports > 1024 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server) - FTP server's ports > 1024 to remote ports > 1024 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client's data port) Then, How can I write DNAT rules. pls assume 1.2.3.4 is the ip of the internert interface. #DNAT from Internet to the box running VSFTP @ 192.168.100.3 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 21 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3:21 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 1024: -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3 And also #connect to below ip (actual destination ip) with below ports,due to DNATing iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 21 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 1024: -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT R u okay with the above 4 rules ?

[OT] DNS queries issue
by Rick Barnes 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello, I have a 2 bind nameservers on my network (both running C3.9). Over the last 3 weeks, I've seen a significant increase in the amount of denied cache queries to DNS service and I'm wondering if I should be worried or if there's something I can do to resolve or prevent this. I show millions of lines like: Oct 4 11:49:30 dns1 named[878]: client 68.13.16.20#53535: query (cache) denied If I trim out those and the last message repeated lines, I go from a messages log of 1.8GB to 1.3MB but 2 weeks earlier my messages log for the week was only 339M. Googling for the query (cache) denied didn't seem find anything useful, that this is other name servers attempting to query my servers for info. Its this something I need to bear with in having a publically available DNS server with authoritative domains? Is there a way to suppress these messages from going to syslog and is it a bad idea to do so? There have been no configuration changes except to add 1 or 2 domains to the nameservers. Any help in understanding this would be great. Thanks, Rick
