Hi, I'm running some databases's software on a CentOS 4.5 server and I'd like to know if there are any audit software in CentOS4.5 CDs packages?.....I need some software to audit all the files on the server, I mean, if some one delete a file, or change some permissions on any filesystems, if someone copy files to my server and some of this stuff... take in mind I'm not lookign for an IDS.. I just want to audit my server... thanks in advance Israel

Internet threat management package
by J 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

... Looking for a recommendation for a commercial threat management package. ( Think antivirus / antispy / anti-rootkit -- all rolled into one engine ), similar to this product: http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/work-space-security.php, which currently only supports one kernel for FC6, and RHEL4, officially. Here's the background. Need to make a decision and investment for a hybrid linux/windows network, with a Samba file server running Centos5. Would like to invest a single product, rather than multiple products, especially since that implies that I'm not giving money to companies that only provide software for Windows. (or, supporting companies that provide software solutions for Linux, depending on how you look at it.) Not even sure if I have the right idea. I would assume that Linux clients are not completely invulnerable to virii, spyware, and rootkits, and that it would make sense, in a small corporate environment to guard against them, the same as Windows machines... but the lack of options seems to suggest otherwise? Anyone have any tips, advice, or recommendations? Thanks!! -- J.

Postgres Config File (eg: PGDATA)
by Ow Mun Heng 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi guys, need some clarification on whether there is a config file sourced by the init script to determine where PGDATA is located. Right now, it seems like it's not sourced from anywhere by located on the init file itself. Appreciate if you guys can let me know if this is the correct place for altering it.

automounted filesystem appears empty on first reference
by Dan Halbert 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

I have an odd automount problem. The first time I look in an automounted filesystem (when the mount is requested), it is empty; the second time it is not. Moreover, I only see this behavior on Centos 4.x systems, but not on Centos 5.0 systems going to the same fileserver. Here's an example, with some details simplified to clarify. In this example, fileserver1 is exporting fs1. centos4$ /bin/ls /mnt/fileserver1/fs1 # first time, directory looks empty centos4$ /bin/ls /mnt/fileserver1/fs1 # second time, I see the contents file1 dir2 I don't see this on Centos 5, which comes with a new (v5.x vs v4.x) version of automount: centos5$ /bin/ls /mnt/fileserver1/fs1 # I see the contents right away, on the first try file1 dir2 I watched the logs on fileserver1, and automount request is logged immediately after the first ls prints nothing. The automount maps are stored in ldap. The Centos4 and Centos5 systems are referencing the same maps. The entry in auto.master for fileserver1 (for cn=/mnt/fileserver1) is: ldap:ou=auto.fileserver1,ou=autofs,dc=example,dc=com --timeout=86400 --ghost -o rw,hard,async,noatime,intr,retrans=4,timeo=100,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 and in auto.fileserver1 is (for cn=*): fileserver1.example.com:/export/& At first I thought it had to do with the --ghost, but I took that out and adjusted things and still had the same problem. It is completely reproducible if I umount the automount between tries. Any idea what is causing this? I have been unable to find a similar-sounding problem, even with extensive Googling. Why does the first automount appear to be asynchronous, with some kind of race condition, and the second is synchronous? I even see a little hesitation on the centos5 box before ls prints the directory contents, so it appears to be waiting for the automount to complete. All the Centos 4 and Centos 5 boxes are current with "yum update". This problem is causing failures on some of our applications because they don't see their data the first time they run, when the automount occurs We see this across many boxes, and several fileservers (the fileservers are Fedora Core 5 and 6 machines, for stupid reasons). Thanks, Dan

Cross-platform GUI libraries with drag 'n drop IDEs
by Ioannis Vranos 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. I am a programmer, relatively new to GNU/Linux and am looking for cross platform GUI development, mainly for EL5 and Windows. I have found wxWidgets so far. I prefer drag 'n drop programming IDEs, QT seems to provide this for GNU/Linux, but it isn't free for Windows. Does anyone know of any decent GUI cross-platform library for EL5 and Windows with a drag 'n drop IDE? Thanks.

excluding directories in rsync
by Ski Dawg 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hello Everyone, I am trying to exclude a directory (and all file and sub-directories under that directory) when using rsync. I have spent two days on google, but everything that I can find there involves excluding individual files, not an entire directory. I have tried the following commands, but in each case the remove_dir and all of its sub-directories and files area still sent to the remote server. 1) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude="**/remove_dir/**" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path 2) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude="\*\*/remove_dir/\*\*" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path 3) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude="/local/path/**/remove_dir/**" /local/path/ $user@$host:remote/path 4) rsync --delete --compress --archive --rsh=ssh --exclude-from=/path/to/exclude_file /local/path/ $user@ $host:remote/path and the /path/to/exclude_file contains: # don't include these files/dirs - **/remove_dir/** Any thoughts on the proper way to exclude an entire directory and its sub-directories and files when doing an rsync? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Random Thought: QOTD: If it's too loud, you're too old.

Peculiar situation while build httpd-2.2.6 from provided spec
by Anup Shukla 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi all, While build a rpm from the httpd-2.2.6 sources (spec file included in the source package), i had a situation where packaging would fail at the step where several link are created for "logs" etc directories. <<..snip from httpd.spec...>> # symlinks for /etc/httpd ln -s ../..%{_localstatedir}/log/httpd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/logs ln -s ../..%{_localstatedir}/run $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/run ln -s ../..%{_libdir}/httpd/modules $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/modules ln -s ../..%{_libdir}/httpd/build $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/build <<......>> It had me scratching my head for quite a while before figuring out that the %_sysconfdir macro wrongly gets translated to /usr/etc (should be /etc) Putting "%_sysconfdir /etc" in my .rpmmacros file did the trick and the package got built cleanly. Does this qualify as a bug? Anyone else faced the same problem? Regards. A.S.

External view in sample BIND named.conf

03 Oct '07

I just want to confirm that this is a "bug" before reporting it to Bugzilla. I started with the sample named.conf included in the distribution and found that I couldn't query my server from outside my LAN. I finally traced it down to the match expressions in the sample's external view. bind-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5 /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.conf The view has these match settings: match-clients { !localnets; !localhost; }; match-destinations { !localnets; !localhost; }; Changing these to "any" allowed queries to get in. Is the ! syntax invalid for this version of BIND? I don't see anything in Buzilla that looks like this issue: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=bind&order=bugs.bug_id>

PHP5/CentosPlus big mess.
by David Mackintosh 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Ok, so if you tuned in last time, I couldn't make the installation/upgrade of PHP5 from the Centos4 CentOS Plus repository work. Not one to be easilly dissuaded, I shapened my shovel and dug myself a hole. So using the exclude= lines in the repository config file backfired big time: even if I excluded the exclude= lines, yum continued to exclude the files on those lines, and only deigned to update three php files. Thus, my user complained that the mysql pieces were not there. So what I did was install CentOS 4 fresh into a VM, update it, then I just did a: # yum --enablerepo centosplus --exclude php-pecl-ssh2 --exclude php-eaccelerator --exclude php-pear-Image-GraphViz --exclude php-pear-PHPUnit2 install php php* (see the explanations for the --excludes on http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/CentOS/4/Updating+to+PHP+5) Please with my illusion of progress, I then copied the RPMs from the local cache to my target machine, and installed them with # rpm -Uvh --nodeps --replacefiles *rpm The --nodeps was because some other package not otherwise updated depended on the previous version of php-pear, and the --replacefiles was because rpm was complaining that some file owned by mysql-4 conflicted with the mysql-5 package even though it was going to be "upgraded". Now, my users are complaining about errors like: [28-Sep-2007 10:32:29] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [28-Sep-2007 10:32:29] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [...repeat for each file in /usr/lib/php/modules/...] However, those "files" are there: # ls -l /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75652 Nov 24 2006 /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10580 Nov 24 2006 /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so I don't know anything about how to get php to show these errors, since the simple phpinfo.php file works (but admittedly it doesn't really do anything). Can anyone point me in the right direction, or perhaps offer me other directions in which to dig? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

RPM package wish list
by mark pryor 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

hello, Does our beloved Centos project have a page where one can request that an RPM package be built, especially for C5? How about alerts when those requests have been satisfied? I know about 3rd party repos like rpmforge, epel, and kbextras. I can search those in YUM. Centos seems to have specialized as a server OS in the past, but my experience is that it is an up and coming desktop/workstation OS too. Many folks might like to see packages built that are more Desktop oriented, which are not available in upstream, nor in the 3rd party repos. thanks for your info, Mark --------------------------------- Moody friends.

Anaconda Partial Freeze...
by semi linux 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hey, I'm trying to run a kickstart script on a new piece of hardware... I've never used this HW before, so it's possible that there may be something faulty... After the DVD boots, I type "linux ks=http://blah/blah.ks" and hit enter. Once I get to the anaconda line which says "running /sbin/loader", the machine sits in a frozen state for a long time (3-5 minutes)... anyone have any clue what's going on here? Or at least how to debug it? It's too early to switch tot he other terminals, so I'm a little lost. I've tired testing the RAM and reseating, etc... nothing seems to works. - G.

Logwatch for postfix
by Morten Torstensen 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

On CentOS5 with the latest updates applied, the logwatch filter for postfix returns way too many lines from the log. I get an "unmatched entries" message and all messages that have gone through the system is listed. Here is an example: 8F930A8092: to=<morten(a)foo.bar>, orig_to=<morten@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.19, delays=0.06/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail) I have tried to look at the logwatch config and some google hits on similar problems but on debian. The hints there does not match what is relevant for CentOS. Anyone seen this problem on CentOS or is it some specific problem to my configuration? I use fetchmail/postfix/dovecot/procmail locally on the server to consolidate mail. Could be that it tries to filter on some hostname/domain name? -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten(a)mortent.org //IM: Cartoon(a)jabber.no morten.torstensen(a)gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.

Buggy SATA detection w/CentOS5 + Intel H6300ESB?
by Chris Mauritz 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

I've been handed a Supermicro system that is using the Intel® H6300ESB Serial ATA Controller (Supermicro P4SCI motherboard). When I install CentOS5, everything seems to work OK, but it has absolutely horrid disk performance. Upon further inspection, it seems that the SATA disks are being treated as legacy IDE devices using PIO. Gah.... Has anyone else had this problem? I recall having similar problems last year sometime with some Supermicro systems, but I can't seem to remember how I fixed it. :-) Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Best,

change md uuid?
by Les Mikesell 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

I sometimes clone working machines by separating RAID1 mirrors and letting each re-sync with a new partner in different machines. What will happen if a mismatched pair of these drives ever end up together in the same machine? If there is any chance that they would automatically be paired, is there a way to change the uuid when moving to a new machine so that wouldn't happen? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Permissions question
by Todd Cary 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the permissions are 775. My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd". Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there is a directory under www (acutally called httpd), "viewpoint" that is owned by "apache" and is a member of the "viewpoint" group. "todd" is also a member of the "viewpoint" group. Now this is the problem I do not know how to correct: if "todd" using Samba creates a directory in "viewpoint", the owner and group is "todd" with 755 permissions. Now if the "viewpoint" user tries to write to the directory, he does not have adequate permissions. Maybe I have not setup the owners and groups correctly. maybe there is something I need to do with how Samba interacts with the server. Any suggestions will be appreciated...

X login screen fails on the first try
by Frank Cox 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I set up a Centos 5 machine a couple of weeks ago and everything was working perfectly. It survived a few reboots and whatnot with no problem. I moved it to another location on Saturday afternoon and, again, it booted up and worked fine. It was rebooted this morning and now the graphical login screen doesn't appear. Everything appears to load normally but once the text login screen appears, that's it. No graphical login screen. If I log in at the text console and type startx I am told that X is already running. If I hit ctrl-alt-f7 at the text login screen I see a completely blank/black screen. If I then hit ctrl-alt-esc the graphical login screen comes up and everything works as it should. If I switch to runlevel 3 and log into the text console and type startx, my desktop shows up just as it should. There are no errors that I can see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Again, this all worked fine up until this morning and nothing changed. Today I rebooted it several times and I consistently get the behaviour detailed here. So, what could be going wrong and preventing the graphical login screen from loading? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Sound problems on envidia 6510 in Compaq SR5110NX
by Chuck Mattern 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I've go a Compaq Presario (SR5110NX) that I've loaded CentOS 5 on and all is well except for the sound card. I understand that OSS supports the chipset but it's not being detected an loaded properly and I've invested a significant amount of time already. I've probably got an old supported card lying around here somewhere but I hat to give up on the principal. I would rather not download the proprietary drivers as that will create a dependency when the kernel is upgraded and I'm shipping this off to a remote law office where I'd like them to be a little more self sufficient than having to have me log in and recompile each time they upgrade a kernel. Any experience or advise with this would be appreciated. Regards, Chuck

by Art Edwards 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

I am building a Centos machine for a specific piece of third party software. Can I assume that the IA64 verson of CENTOS 4.5 will run on this CPU? Are there any differences in basic libraries between 4.0 and 4.5? Art Edwards

FYI CentOS-5, SElinux and OpenOffice-2.3
by James B. Byrne 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

I have installed OOo 2.3 on CentOS-5. Everything seems to work but I had to locate the item reproduced below. Since this is a vital modification I reproduce it here so that it gets a wider audience. FYI: OOo 2.3.0 and SELinux: "no suitable windowing system found, exiting." OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.3.0 is incompatible with the SELinux technology activated by default in Fedora 7, Fedora Core 6 (and older) and Red Hat Linux system (and, optionally, in other Linux-based systems): see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80816 for more information and current situation. Symptoms: * If OpenOffice.org is started from the GUI, it simply doesn't start. * If OpenOffice.org is started from the command line, the error message no suitable windowing system found, exiting. is displayed and OpenOffice.org exists immediately. The best resolution so far consists in setting the proper security context: execute (as root or with sudo privileges) # chcon -t textrel_shlib_t libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 in the program directory in your OOo installation. A more radical resolution is disabling SELinux altogether (requires root/sudo privileges): * Command line (as root): # setenforce 0 * GUI: System -> Administration -> Firewall and SELinux -> set "Permissive" mode. Note that, with the default configuration, SELinux will be restored in "Enforcing" mode upon reboot or instalaltion of a new kernel if you change it via the command-line utility.

Newbie: how to install from Windows?
by Labaki 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hello! I just joined this mailing list a couple of minutes ago. I'll start to use CentOS for academic purposes. We'll try to build a cluster based in machines with this OS. First of all, I'd like to beg you for patience, because I'm comple- tly new in Linux. My first question is: every tutorial on installation talks about inserting an installation CD, but I'm not sure about what do it means... I've downloaded the four files .iso availabe in CentOS.org, but I don't know what to do with them. Should I burn this files into de CD the way they are? Should I unzip them before this? Details: I'm using Windows, trying to install CentOS 4 in a 32 bit's PC. I've downloaded CentOS-4.5-i386-bin.......iso. Thank you for any help! ~ J.

Re: [CentOS] A special kernel for linux as guest os

Dear Yagi-san, > I heard from the horse's mouth that the CentOS team is working on the > 100Hz centosplus kernel. I think your request triggered the action :-) > They want make people happy. That sounds nice! This TIPS, CONFIG_HZ=100, is one of FAQs. It will make most of us happy. Now we can get kernel-vm package on dev.centos.org. Is it a test release of the special kernel? I installed the kernel-vm. Its change-log shows HZ=100. And the kernel seems better for clock interval on VMWare. Thanks a lot. Yuji

Unable to boot xen dom0 on IBM System x3250
by Pat and Lori Boyer 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

I have an IBM System x 3250 that successfully boots using the standard kernel (2.6.18-8.1.10.el5) but fails to boot with the xen kernel. The kernel appears to fail when it attempts to initialize the driver for the onboard SAS controller (LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS). Can anyone provide any advice? Here's the relevant info. Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

too many links error when creating directories
by chitgoks 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

hi , our centos os has an ext3 file system. and i cant create any more directories, it gives me a too many links error, even when doing a manual mkdir. is there any workaround for this? without changing it to a different file system like reiserFS? we dont have a reiserfs module in the os so it will have to be installed. and can it be possible to install a reiserFS without having to reformat the os? just mount it after installing? please advise

hostname not being picked up by DHCP
by Denis 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi - I am using the CentOS v5 desktop installation and am setting up a new lab for our engineering department. Initially I computers got their IP addresses and computer names from the DHCP process and the computer were getting the info from the dynamic pool. These name would be d-23-76.mnsu.edu, where the d stood for dynamic and 23-76 refered the IP address of xx.xx.23.76. The computer hostname would show up as d-23-76. I did not want the computers to get different IP address so I put the computers onto our DHCP table as manual DHCP clients by assigning a name and mac address to an IP address. Now the computers get the correct IP address but the hostname is localhost. How can I get the correct name for hostname from DHCP? -- Denis Becker Information Technology - Engineering MN State Univ., Mankato Mankato, MN ph: 507-389-5617 fx: 507-389-5002

glibc errors related to nss_ldap or pam_ldap?
by Bjorn Oglefjorn 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I am trying to track down the cause of some errors that have been occurring on a number of our servers using LDAP. We have noticed that when a certain LDAP group exceeds 65 users we begin seeing glibc errors for users in the group. Users that are not in the group do not exhibit this behavior. We have seen this issue on machines running Centos 4.5 x86 & x86_64 with glibc-2.3.4-2.36 and RH4 x86_64 running glibc-2.3.4-2.25. We are running Fedora Directory Server 1.0.4 on Centos 4.5. We have added a 3rd FDS slave and turned up debugging but have not seen anything that appears to be relevant in the logs on the 3rd slave. This problem is not a 65 user limit as we have other groups with well over 65 members that do not display this behavior. We also created a new group with identical users and it did not display this problem. 1) With 66 users in the massweb group [root@megalon ~]# getent group massweb *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x09a225b0 *** Aborted 2) After removing any user from the massweb group to reduce the total members to 65 [root@megalon ~]# getent group massweb massweb:x:3016:afaxon,ashairza,ccrump,jhorowit,mmarum,morendai,usmall,adroffne,afaxon,amurphre,aoliver,ayellipe,bdonohue,bdunn,beckert,blarsen,bwphilli,catanis,ccrump,chaynes,clyons,cwong,dbarber,dmuse,dnicol,edougher,egallant,ekubosia,evizcain,feeddrop,gtulonen,halokush,hbraverm,jbartus,jbrown,jhobbs,jking,jlederma,jpecora,jthayer,kbalbedi,kbeam,kginn,mbuonfig,mcrawfor,mlarsen,mlong,mwalsh,osedano,proche,prondeau,pweinber,rhorriga,rkersey,rskutins,sasaro,sbrodeur,sculver,smoriart,support,swestenh,tbaltimo,torgelfi,usmall,vvalenti Has anyone encountered a similar problem with nss_ldap or pam_ldap?

CentOS-5 - Suffering from LDAP experimentation
by James B. Byrne 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I was playing aeound with the GUI authentication configuration and was called away from my desk after I had configured the LDAP DC entries but before I had tried to start the ldap server or do much of anything else. When I returned the terminal session was screen-saver locked and entering my user password did not make it respond. I kept getting a time-out error. Rebooting took forever and was delayed for long periods at two points that I do not recall as being problems before; Loading IPtablesv6? and Starting system message bus. More importantly the user GUI takes forever to start. I am seeing these entries in the /var/log/merssages filr (vis ssh login through another system.): Sep 27 15:37:13 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server Sep 27 15:37:13 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... Sep 27 15:37:21 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server ...

This is a rtestbox aso a re-install is not out of the question. I am digest subscriber so if you could copy me directly on any reply to the list I would be very appreciative.

Waking up X
by semi linux 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I just finished installing CentOS 5 (again)... and I'm having trouble with my X config (I _think_). If I 'startx' then switch to a console (using CTRL+ALT+F*) and then back to X (CTRL+ALT+F7), 1/2 the time it comes back, the other half I get a black screen and I can never recover the session. X is still running (CTRL+ALT+Backspace kills it) but there seems to be some type of power saving or screensaver that kicks in and won't let the session restore... Any hints on where to look? The X logs don't _seem_ to show anything... - G.

Intrusion Detection Systems
by John Hinton 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Situation: We are providing hosting services. I've grown tired of the various kiddie scripts/dictionary attacks on various services. The latest has been against vsftpd, on systems that I can't easily control vs. putting strict limits on ssh. We simply have too many users entering from too many networks many with dynamic IP addresses. Enter.... thinking about LIDS or Log Based Intrusion Detection. I've run across four systems. Blockhosts, DenyHosts, fail2ban and OSSEC. DenyHosts apparently only works with ssh, so I've discounted using that. Is anyone using one of these or something else that I've missed. At present, I'm leaning towards OSSEC for several reasons. First it seems very robust. Second, you can set up a server/client structure, so only one machine acts as the server and all the others present data to it so that it can share with the entire system. The author seems to have considered some of the basic problems of log based systems and addressed those. There does seem to be flexibility among these three systems in having the ability to monitor just about any log system and take action based on failed logins for instance. So, whats the word from the list? Pros cons or other directions? Thanks, John Hinton

SOLUTION: How to use a custom icon for the Main Menu on the panel
by Frank Cox 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

After much head-scratching I finally figured out how to get a custom icon for the Main Menu on the panel. For the benefit of anyone else who wants a custom icon: yum install gconf-editor Run gconf-editor and go to apps - panel - objects The main menu is one of the "object_0", "object_1" items. Just go through them until you find the one that is the Main Menu. Put a checkmark in the "Use custom icon" box. Right-click on the "custom icon" entry (a few lines up from "use custom icon"), select "edit key" and enter the path to the icon you want to use. That's all there is to it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Central file server advice please
by John Bowden 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi List I have a Gygabyte GA-7N400 PRO2 with a 2.6 mHz Athlon cpu. I want to set up a central file storage for 2/3 users using 6/7 machines. A mixture of win2k, XP and various Linux distros (my home network). It will be used to store files, (docs, music and DVD ) for all of these machines, print server, (two ink-jets), mail server and later on a myth tv set up. Would SAMBA be the best option for the file and print serving ? The mother board has 2 X IDE channels, 2 X IDE channels with raid and 2 X SATA raid channels, that's up to 10 hard drive devices. The IDE raid chip is a GigaRaid IT8212F chipset. It supports raid 0 or raid 1 and raid 0 + 1 and JBOD. The SATA raid is a Silicon Image Sil3512. It supports Raid 0 or 1. Would I get better speed performance using the chips to manage the raid or using software raid? Oh and I will be using the CentOS 5 install dvd. Any advice from the list would be appreciated.

OpenSSH multiple private key question
by Von Landfried 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I am using CentOS 4.5 with OpenSSH_3.9p1 and I am curious if anyone has a solution for this scenario. I have several pub/priv keys that I use for various tasks/reasons. My issue is that I want to have 2 private keys stored in ~/.ssh/ and I am not sure the best way to accomplish that. Currently I am using ssh-agent, and it works fine for manually performing tasks. I was curious if there is a simple way to have multiple private keys stored in the same ~/.ssh/ directory without using ssh-agent? Thanks for reading. -Von

mdadm problem.
by David Mackintosh 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

So I'm trying to RAID-1 this system which has two identical disks installed in it, and it isn't working for some reason. I started by doing a CentOS-4 install on /dev/sda1 as root, and with /dev/sda2 as my swap. I finish the install, yum update, and then I want to make the mirrors. I copy the partition table from one disk to the other: # sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb I create my metadevices: # mdadm -Cv -l1 -n2 /dev/md1 /dev/sdb1 missing # mdadm -Cv -l1 -n2 /dev/md2 /dev/sdb2 missing I create my filesystems: # mkfs.ext3 /dev/md1 # mkswap /dev/md2 I change the /etc/fstab to use /dev/md1 for / and /dev/md2 for swap. I change the /etc/grub.conf to use /dev/md1 for the root= parameter on my kernel. I build myself a new initrd for the kernel I want to boot. I copy the contents of / over to the one-armed mirror: # cd / # mnt /dev/md1 /mnt/md1 # tar cfpl - . | ( cd /mnt/md1 ; tar xfp -) # umount /mnt/md1 # sync I run grub just in case: # grub > device (hd0) /dev/sda > root (hd0,0) > setup (hd0) I reboot, expecting that the system will find /dev/md1 and use it as its root... but it doesn't. Digging around in hobbled mode (changing the root= parameter in grub to /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/md1) shows that /dev/md1 doesn't get assembled, therefore it doesn't get mounted. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

Hello, Is that possible to disable running of PHP on certain directories? I am running a server which provides personal homepage service.

CentOS Plus PHP5 upgrade.

Hi Folks, I have some users who have a 64-bit CentOS 4.x install (current), which was installed with @Everything and then some annoying packages strategically removed (mrtg, pegasus*, mailman...) and they have decided they have a need for php5. I find on the web this instruction for doing this: http://www.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt So I try to do this, and I get: # rpm -e php-domxml # yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php* [...] --> Processing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 for package: php-pear --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 is needed by package php-pear So I try to remove this blocking package: # rpm -e php-pear error: Failed dependencies: php-pear is needed by (installed) php-4.3.9-3.22.9.x86_64 I try to get cute: # rpm -e --force php-pear rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced (Heh.) So I can't be the first person to go down this road. Can anyone provide a hint as to how to get out of the hole I've dug for myself?

Why glibc-profile doesn't show up in Centos 5 ???
by Robinson Tiemuqinke 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi, Anyone know what are the reasons behind that glibc-profile packages doesn't come with Centos 5 distribution which has version 2.5 glibc? Some colleagues around have been asking for the glibc profiling functions to be available continuously... I could change the glibc source RPM/spec file to disable '--disable-profile' option and recompile the core glibc packages. But I am not sure whether this is the correct way. Nevertheless, the glibc-profile may have a unknown strong reason not to show up in Centos 5. Please help. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo! Travel. http://travel.yahoo.com/

parted - is there a problem
by Gregory P. Ennis 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Everyone, I recently added a 300gig Seagate sata drive on a Centos 5.0 and have a couple of questions. The drive was recognized with the device as /dev/sdc. The system came with some SCCI drives that are labeled as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I was surprised that the sata drives used sdc. Are the sata drives considered more like SCCI or IDE drives? The real problem occurred when I tried to partition the drive with parted. I used he command mkpart to form one partition of 300 gigs which created /dev/sdc1, and then after 'quiting' parted used mkfs.ext3 to create a file system. Everything went as expected with the ability to mount the file system and copy files into it. However, /dev/sdc1 disappeared when I rebooted. After the reboot /dev/sdc1 was missing and CentOs obviously could not recognize the partition. The error is probably related to my lack of experience with parted so I tried it 2 other times with the same results. I finally gave up and used fdisk which has worked without a problem. By way of observation I could not find a 'write to disk' command in parted like what is present in fdisk. Is there a problem with parted or I am just lacking in knowledge of some of the parted commands. Certainly could not find any write like statements in the man pages or the info pages. Are there others of you that use parted? What did I do wrong? Greg Ennis

CentOS 4.5 system doesn't boot after installing latest updates
by Alfred von Campe 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Today I decided to install all the latest updates (including the -06 kernel). The "yum update" seems to have run just fine (no errors), but when I rebooted the system it just sits there with the word "GRUB" in the upper left hand corner. I booted from the CentOS 4.5 install CD into rescue mode, did a "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and reinstalled grub and the latest kernel, but it still gets stuck in the same place. It's not that I can't boot the new kernel; I can't even get to the grub screen! Any ideas? I am totally stuck at the moment... Alfred

CentOS-5 Hardware Probe
by James B. Byrne 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I installed CentOS-5 on a test machine, a P4 1.8 Ghz Compaq Evo D510 series. This was a clean install onto a new disk drive and everything went well. After updating with YUM and installing Postgresql, Rails for Ruby, Firefox-2 and Thunderbird I shutdown and restarted the system several times without incident. I then pulled the CD-ROM and replaced it with an LG-DVD DVD-RAM/RW device. I also swapped the PS/2 Kb and mouse for USB versions. When I rebooted the system I entered the bios setup and reconfigured for the new device. However, subsequently, Centos bootup has now entered an endless loop. Pluse neither the USB nor the PS/2 kb seem to work after a certain point. On Centos-4 I recall doing exactly the same thing and all that happened was that Kudzu ran during the boot procedure, prompted for the configuration changes and everything went on swimingly. I just verified this behaviour by swapping in a CentOS-4.5 disk on this machine and Kudzu came up, reported on all the config changes, accepted the responses and it booted with the DVD and USB devices installed What is happening in CentOS-5? Is there no hardware probe at startup? Is there some switch that I need to set? I can boot from the CD-ROM on this machine using the LG-DVD but not from the hard drive. Switching back to the original CD-ROM device did not alleviate the problem either so I am at a loss as to what is happening. As I am a digest subscriber the favour of a direct copy of any reply to the list is requested. Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

NFS issue

I am currently running K12LTSP on Centos 5, which is working well but without sound on most machines(ok all). So in order to remedy this and the cd-burning issue I have decided to try to install CentOS locally on one machine and then apply the personalizations via NFS. Steps: I editted the /etc/exports to export the /home dir as per the NFS howto and that seemed to work as the user homes were mounted in the correct place after an edit to my /etc/fstab "192.168.0.254:/home /mnt/home nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0" good :) Then I started adding users, I added one user and did not create a /home/user directory instead pointed the home folder to /mnt/home/user But when I try to login as that user I got the dreaded: "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default sessionand languages from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 Permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users." So I looked into the permissions and this is what I see serverside: [root@LTSP ~]# ls -al /home total 64 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 15 23:13 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Sep 22 17:45 .. drwx------ 27 ainsley ainsley 4096 Sep 23 19:13 ainsley drwx------ 31 Dan Dan 4096 Sep 24 21:42 Dan drwx------ 27 darren darren 4096 Sep 23 18:17 darren drwx------ 33 devin devin 4096 Sep 24 07:28 devin drwx------ 22 kristi kristi 4096 Sep 24 21:35 kristi drwx------ 21 landen landen 4096 Sep 24 21:14 landen BUT when I look at the /mnt/home listing I see a completely different set of permissions: drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 15 23:13 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Sep 22 17:45 .. drwx------ 27 devin devin 4096 Sep 23 19:13 ainsley drwx------ 31 Dan Dan 4096 Sep 24 21:42 Dan drwx------ 27 kristi kristi 4096 Sep 23 18:17 darren drwx------ 33 503 503 4096 Sep 24 07:28 devin drwx------ 22 504 504 4096 Sep 24 21:35 kristi drwx------ 21 505 505 4096 Sep 24 21:14 landen the ones in bold are definately wrong, and I have no idea how they are being set. unless it is because they are not accounts on the test machine yet but then neither is the "landen" account and that one has the correct permissions sort of.... the user numbers are correct for the user names by the way. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Dan

vmware 1.0.4 lock up on install
by Jerry Geis 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I am not having a good experience with vmware. Twice I have tried it today and it locks up my machine. First attempt was to install centos 4.5 i386. It told me it could not find anything to install on. After a post to the list I was instructed to not do typical, but custom and select LSILogic as the controller. I did and I got past that point. I then goto into an install with 6 minutes remaining on screen and another lock up. Anyone else experiences this with vmware. Is it something I am not doing or its just not going to work for me? I have a stock centos 4.5 X86 AMD X2 as my host and was installing a centos 4.5 i386 guest. Thanks, I was almost there. Jerry

Zimbra vs. Scalix vs. et. al.
by John Hinton 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Well, I stumbled onto zimbra.... I have a Scallix system built, but still have some rough edges to try to smooth. Like the way it works with sendmail, no dnsbl's will work as sendmail sees all mail as coming from locohost (scalix). Still battling that one which is when I ran across Zimbra. So, this made me start wondering. Are there other exchange server-like products out there? Has anyone dealt with Scalix and Zimbra (or another from the question above) and would you care to post pros and cons to each? Some of the cons to me with Scalix. It uses it's own directory structure which is non-sensical to any admin. Each seems to be assigned on a numbering system.. finding who has what where is not fun and I fear will be a nightmare in the future. Sendmail milters work fine to a point, but there is the limit of filtering using dnsbl's and it appears it will require setting up sendmail as the receiver, passing to scalix, passing back to sendmail, passing back to scalix and the user mail boxes... adding an extra loop. Shared folder are nice.. shared calendars are pretty good although I don't see a way to sort by user are even really see immediately for which user the event exists. You can drag and drop from Outlook IMAP a file directly to the server, but internally we don't use outlook... but for other clients this could be nice. So, how are those Zimbra installs going and what's the scoop? Thanks, John Hinton

DNAT PREROUTING issue with iptables
by Indunil Jayasooriya 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi, I have an DNAT ISSUE with PREROUTING. This is my setup. I have 2 firewalls running iptables. Pls asume 1.2.3.4/29 is the internet interace of FIRST firewall. 2.3.4.5/29 is the internet interface of SECOND firewall. it has DMZ zone. in that DMZ zone, mail server runnig @ 192.168.100.3 Now I want to DNAT port 25 of FISRT firewall (i.e - its ip address - 1.2.3.4/29) to the internet ip address ( 2.3.4.5/29) of SECOND firewall. That firewal DNATs port 25 to mail server @ 192.168.100.3 in DMZ zone. These are rules I have added. FIRST firewall (its internet ip address - 1.2.3.4/29) I have addes below rule. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 2.3.4.5:25 That should forward port 25 to SECOND firewall. in SECOND firewall, I have added 2 below rules. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 2.3.4.5 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3:25 iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT Now, it should forward port 25 to mail server @ DMZ Zone. I think I have added these rules properly. But, It does not work. I checked from outside world . I telneted to port 25 of first firewaal. Then, It should forward to mail server @ DMZ zone. But, no responce. WHY is that? YOUR IDEAS? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Formatting a large disk
by Rajeev R Veedu 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I need to install Centos on a machine with 3tb raid disk. (3 ware raid card) Could someone in the list suggest a utility for partition this disk. I would like to have the whole disk in 1 partition and format it for ext3. The default partitioning utility doesn't do this. The OS sits on another SATA disk and each time during the installation it doesn't format the full disk which is 3TB. Could someone suggest another disk partitioning utility (other than fdisk) please? Thanks Rajeev R. Veedu

[T-dose-announce] Screenshots of your fav opensource software or desktop ( high resolution - 1002-768 ) for slide show on t-dose (fwd)
by Dag Wieers 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi CentOS users, The centos-promo team is looking for your help. Is anyone interested in creating nice CentOS screenshots ? We can have them on the wiki as well for future articles or presentations. A good screenshot should: + Be clear on what it is showing - applications like eg. inkscape should have a file opened - files opened in applications should make clear what the application does - try not to show off too many things at once, in order to not overwhelm or confuse + The CentOS logo (and name) should be clearly visible - possibly by using the content in applications eg. inkscape could open the SVG CentOS logo with some text or Open Office could show an important CentOS slide that also holds the major advantages of CentOS - or making the background visible with CentOS theme Please let me know if you are interested to contribute in this fashion.

vmware server 1.0.4 and centos 4.5 i386 install
by Jerry Geis 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi all, I tried to install centos 4.5 i386 as a guest on an AMD x2 machine today. It told me it did not find any install media. I had created an 8G disk for it. Is there a SCSI driver I need to "Add" when prompted? I have never used SCSI and dont know which SCSI controller vmware is emulating. What driver do I need to load? I was then surprised some time later when my machine locked up. Typically my machine is fine. only thing different is today I install vmware server 1.0.4. After the reboot it has been fine again - but I have not restarted vmware. Thanks, Jerry

Re: [tools] Why FC Packages in Centos Repository?
by Dag Wieers 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

On Mon, 24 Sep 2007, John Lee wrote: > Just curious, but why are there Fedora packages in Centos5 base > repository? (i.e. blahblah.fc6.rpm) Are they compatible with CentOS? That is a very good questions and I personally veel very sad that Red Hat chose to do this. RHEL5 (and CentOS 5) are based on development done on Fedora Core 6. Red Hat started off with Fedora Core 6 when creating RHEL5. After some considerable QA, they were stuck with packages from Fedora Core 6 that were tagged with fc6 and were not rebuild for RHEL5, but verbatim copied from FC6. Because they did not want to recompile and retag these packages, because it required them to redo QA, they chose to ship RHEL5 with the verbatim Fedora Core 6 packages. As a result, CentOS chose to keep the original package names, including the fc6 tag for maximum compatibility. Even when it is confusing as hell ! Be aware though that the fc6-tagged packages in RHEL5 are verbatim copied packages from Fedora Core 6, but that on CentOS 5 the fc6-tagged packages are newly rebuild packages on a CentOS 5 system. CentOS 5 (in contract to RHEL5) is completely self-hosting and CentOS is particularly proud of this. We actually did what Red Hat failed to do. But we have the legacy fc6-tag from RHEL5. I hope this clears it up. PS This also means that some, but not all the Fedora Core 6 packages work on RHEL5. That is one of the confusing parts of reality. In all cases you are better off with el5-tagged packages than fc6-tagged packages. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Anyway you'r certainly curious about the problem :-) This is a problem about ARP request. Maybe another machine with low activity share the same IP or your swith/hub is badly configured ! You can use arping to detect any device with the same IP and tcpdump to look for arp request."arp -an" will show you the arp table.

Weird NFS problem
by Frank Cox 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

I have a weird NFS problem here. I am trying to set up a machine with Centos 5 on it. First time I've tried Centos, but it looks like it's going to be the real thing for some machines that I look after that are intended to be long-term "just works" application servers. I plan to start reading and participating in this mailing list now, so Hello to everyone! My name is Frank Cox and I own and operate the Melville Theatre in Melville Saskatchewan, Canada. My first attempt to install Centos 5 was from ISO files that I put on my fileserver, which is the method that I use to install Fedora. Boot off a boot CD, point it to the appropriate directrory on the fileserver, and let 'er rip. That didn't work this time. I got to the point where I told the boot CD where to find the ISO files on the fileserver, and the whole thing hung up. I found an error message on one of the consoles that said something to the effect of "server fileserver not responding, still trying". And that's as far as I got. I tried this a half-dozen times with the same result. I thought maybe it just didn't like my fileserver for some reason, so I put the ISO files on another of my computers and set up an NFS share on that computer. Same thing again. I gave up and put Centos 5 onto CD's, booted from CD number 1 and just swapped CD's until I'm done. I thought that solved everything but now I have something even weirder. I mounted my fileserver like this: mount fileserver:/nas/NASDisk-00002/files /mnt/fileserver That's exactly the same way that I mount it on my Fedora machines. The fileserver mounts without error, and it appears at first glance to work. I can "cd /mnt/fileserver/where-ever" and use ls to view the files that are in the directories. However, if I try to read the files on the fileserver, my terminal hangs up. All I can do is view the directories on my fileserver. Doing anything that reads any file on the fileserver locks up my terminal. Logging in again from another terminal and viewing /var/log/messages tells me this: nfs: server fileserver not responding, still trying This appears to be the same problem that I had when I was installing the operating system. Normally if the installer can't find the NFS share due to a typo or whatever, it just tells me "Can't find the images" and that's all there is to it. But the installer hung up at the point where it was supposed to start reading the images so I think it could find them but couldn't read them either. This exact same procedure works fine from my Fedora machines. What in the world is going on here? If I can't get NFS to work on this machine I'm going to be up the creek because I use LTSP on it to run several terminals. I haven't tried web browsing from that machine yet, but the ethernet card is obviously working because I did a "yum update" and a few "yum installs" with no problem. It is an Intel motherboard and CPU with integrated everything. I strongly suspect that I'm doing something stupid here and can't see the obvious. Can someone give me a steer? Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
