pam ulimit 64 bit
by Peter van Eck 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi, Although this is on RHEL 4 update 2 x86-64 I would like to place the question on this list. I'm trying to set up some shell limits for a user. I've added the user to /etc/security/limits.conf There is an entry in /etc/pam.d/login with pam_limits.so as well as in /etc/pam.d/sshd When I try to set ulimit -n <value> I get : cannot modify limit : Operation not permitted Even if I replace all entries in /etc/pam.d/login with the absolute path to /lib64/security it doesn't work. Any suggestions on where to look now ? thanks, Peter

Firefox 2.0 on CentOS 4.4
by Edward Diener 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

I realize that CentOS 4.4 is all about stability but I would still like to install Firefox 2.0 on it, since I am sharing my Firefox project across OSs on a multi-boot machine and the other OSs have Firefox 2.0. Is it possible to get CentOS 4.4 to work properly with Firefox 2.0 and, if so, does anybody know of a CentOS 4.4 repository which has a Firefox 2.0 RPM available.

GPL java
by Jim Perrin 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

For the people who are currently interested in java as it relates to centos now that Sun has GPL'd java there are some things to be aware of. The folks at jpackage.org are pretty much all over this development but it's not the bright shiny news everyone has made it out to be. Sun did a very good thing by moving java under the GPL, and they should be commended for FINALLY seeing the light after the failure of the DLJ license BUT: 1. Sun did not open all of java under the GPL. There are still several chunks of java which remain license encumbered and will require community workarounds or further moves by Sun to open code. Currently these include the color management code, font rasteriser code, graphics rasteriser code, and several more. 2. Sun is not opening up the Java trademark, so any GPL'd distribution of java will not be called 'java', but something else. I've heard that iceweasel is taken, so I don't know what the next best option is. The fine folks at jpackage are working the details further. This basically means that for the time being, there will not be a gpl'd jdk in centos4, and packages will have to be distributed under the DLJ license (which I am not a fan of) or obtained from java.sun.com and used in conjunction with the jpackage sun-java-compat packages for best performance. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

tar vs. star vs. something-else-I-don-t-know-about
by Alexey Loukianov 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hello all, today I've been sitting at work and upgrading a very-very-very old server with RedHat Linux 6.2 installed up to CentOS 3.8. The process went smoothly, as it is not the first time I was doing the things like this. Just after upgrading I went to rpm -qai list and got an interesting observation: there are at least two "tar" utilities installed on the system. One is tar, and second is star. [root@devel mrtg]# rpm -qi star Name : star Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.5a08 Vendor: CentOS Release : 4 Build Date: Вск 29 Фев 2004 04:54:14 Install Date: Пнд 13 Ноя 2006 09:38:38 Build Host: centos3.wellhouse Group : Applications/Archiving Source RPM: star-1.5a08-4.src.rpm Size : 336744 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Втр 16 Мар 2004 01:48:38, Key ID 7049e44d025e513b URL : http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private… Summary : An archiving tool with ACL support Description : Star saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. Star supports ACL. [root@devel mrtg]# rpm -qi tar Name : tar Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.14 Vendor: CentOS Release : 4 Build Date: Пнд 21 Фев 2005 18:58:37 Install Date: Срд 05 Апр 2006 19:48:51 Build Host: bhrama.build.karan.org Group : Applications/Archiving Source RPM: tar-1.14-4.src.rpm Size : 824393 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Вск 27 Фев 2005 00:39:26, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 Packager : Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ Summary : A GNU file archiving program. Description : The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full backups. If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install the rmt package. I would like to know, what are the differences between them? Which one should I use in the future? Is star compatible with amanda backup suite (I use amanda as a main backup software solution for our production environment servers)? Also, there may be other tar-like/compatible utilities shipped with CentOS3/4 that I simply don't know about. It would be great, if somebody will provide me with info (or a link to a place) about such utilities, and with a comparison between them all. Thanks in advance. -- С уважением, Alexey mailto:aloukianov@lavtech.ru

About download ISO image, again
by Stephen Liu 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi folks, It comes to my notice that there is an server version - CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-x86_64.iso http://mirror.myriadnetwork.com/centos/4.4/isos/x86_64/ I'm going to run CentOS as server. What packages are included there? Is X packages included as well which should not be on a server creating a risk hole. However on another hand it will be convenient for me at the early stage of installation to search documents on Internet. Just retain X not started at boot and remove all their packages after installation finished. I don't expect connecting a workstation to the server to do this job at the beginning. Advice would be appreciated. TIA B.R. Stephen

hard drive failing in linux raid
by Joseph Cheng 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hello all. I have a server with a linux software raid1 setup between two drives of the same model....one hard drive as primary ide master and second hard drive as secondary master. Now primary master hard drive is displaying a lot of SMART errors so I would like to remove it and replace with another drive....different brand but same size. Partitions are /dev/md0 till /dev/md5. I think I know what to do based on mdadm man page and this list's archives but there is no harm in confirming right? ;) From this post http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-April/063076.html I plan on removing the old partitions from the array like this..... mdadm /dev/mdx -r /dev/hdax. Then I will shut down the server, replace the hard drive, make the server boot from second IDE drive and hopefully boot into Centos. From there do I have to manually create each /dev/mdx partition and then re-add them like this....mdadm /dev/mdx -a /dev/hdax ? That is what I am not sure about whether I have to partiton the drive exactly like the old one or if Centos mdadm can do some magic for me with a blank drive. TIA!!

sshd logging with GMT times?
by David Mackintosh 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi folks, while chasing down a logging-related situation, I happened to notice that when I connect via ssh to my system it makes the following logs: Nov 15 14:15:39 saturn sshd[29868]: Accepted password for dave from ::ffff:10.0.10.14 port 2833 ssh2 Nov 15 09:15:39 saturn sshd[29867]: Accepted password for dave from ::ffff:10.0.10.14 port 2833 ssh2 Nov 15 09:15:39 saturn sshd(pam_unix)[29869]: session opened for user dave by (uid=0) That is, sshd appears to log the connection with GMT (or UCT) before the child sshd logs it with local time. This is messing up one of my reporting processes, since I have syslog-ng configured to produce a new file for every day, and at the end of the day I try to scan the newest file for the day's events. So if I ssh to the system after 7PM local time, the "newest" file is the one from "tomorrow" which has the GMT timestamped entries, not the entries from today. How do I either tell sshd to always use local time, or tell it not to make the first entry? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | Public Key: dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com/dave/gpg.html $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 4C032504 Mystery attachment? http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/GPG

System crashed & LVM1
by Guy Boisvert 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi all! I'm new to this list. I wanted to have an opinion of the situation i'm facing now (i'm no expert in LVM). Last week, i had to re-install a system which had a system hard drive crash (it was clunking before it definitely died!). It was running on SuSE 9.0 before. I just finished to install a fresh copy of CentOS 4.4 on a new hard disk. I want to know if it's possible to "import" the old LVM array into the fresh CentOS install. We have 1 volume group (LVM1) that contains 3 whole hard drives. I had the time to save some informations before the system hard drive crashed definitely: I have vgcfgrestore info, i have volgroups_001.conf, i have the full /etc directory and pvdata.

After up2dating one of the corporate mail servers to CentOS 4.4 (was CentOS 4.2) and upgrading kernel to kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL, the following kernel messages started to appear in syslog: [root@gamma ~]# dmesg ........... ...CUT..... ........... lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 lockd: unexpected unlock status: 1 Rebooted with an older kernel (2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp), but the problem persists. This server utilizes NFS share as a storage volume for user mail boxes, the NFS server is also a CentOS 4.4 server, also with the kernel, up2dated to kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL few weeks ago. As this is a production environment, I can't simply go and reboot NFS server to an older kernel - this would lead to a small amount of downtime, which is undesirable for me. Could someone help me to understand what does that messages mean, why did they appear, and what caveats they may cause to me except for spammed syslog? Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Alexey Loukianov mailto:aloukianov@lavtech.ru Software Development Department, Lavtech Corp http://mnogo.ru, http://lavtech.ru

Benchmarking DNS and DHCP
by Ian Anderson 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Does anyone know of any FOSS tools that can assist in benchmarking ISC DNS and DHCP services? I would like to simulate X number of users attempting to pull an IP, resolve DNS names, etc. I would also like to test TCP connections into a CentOS server. We have some software that communicates with equipment via a TCP connection and I want to simulate thousands of TCP connections coming into one server. Any suggestions are welcome.

fetchmail problem
by Rajeev R Veedu 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

In my fetchmail setup it will fetch only 99 mails at a time. And if the mail numbers are more than 99 it fetch up to 99 and look back same e-mails again and again. (It won't delete the fetched mails) Could someone please help me how to fix this problem? Is there any setting in the fetchmail.rc file that default number of mails to be fetched in a go is max 99 or something like that? Or is there any other package which does the same job? If I could fix this problem I am quite happy to use fetchmail. Thanks Rajeev

OT: Q: Howto implement a monitored Shell for remote logins
by Sanjay Arora 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

I sometimes need to allow sub-contracted admins root ssh access to my servers. Later, I always wonder what they did during access. Is there any shell that provides all shell abilities to the remote user but monitors/emails a designated user each command executed in the shell terminal and does not allow the user (even root) to modify the bash history file or similar shell history file, or maybe sending each command by email to a remote server, so that modifying history becomes out of question? Hope someone can help. With regards. Sanjay.

> Scenarios are: > - ipsec-tools with Cisco vpn client Hmmm...

Not sure if that is the case now as we've moved on. Two other MAJOR issue with this: 1: is that it's password based and if you allow users to pick passwords then be prepared for compromise. 2: you cannot have more than one connection to the same server from behind NAT. We'd always run into this with tradeshows ;) all the reps would stay at the same hotel and only one could use the vpn at a time.

I have no major complaints with this system and it's very NAT friendly compared to the other two options. My 2 cents, alex

Deleting packages
by Edward Diener 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

When choosing to delete packages, Synaptic will tell the user what other packages are dependant and therefore have to be added to the delete list also, and then will automatically add those dependant packages to the delete list if one chooses to go ahead with the original package deletion. I did not notice such functionality in YumEx. Does it exist ? If it does not exist, is it possible to use Synaptic under CentOS 4.4 with the rpm repositories and have it work correctly ? In general I like the Synaptic interface and functionality better than the YumEx functionality. I do understand that there is an updated version of YumEx for Yum 3.0+, but since CentOS is still on an earlier version of Yum, it can not be used.

CUPS disabling a print queue between jobs
by fredex 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Hi! on centos 4.4 (fresh install) I've got a problem with CUPS disabling a print queue between jobs. Sometimes it will print dozens of jobs before disabling the queue, sometimes it will do it after every job. This is a networked HP Laserjet printer at work. At home on a 4.4 box (upgraded from 4.3) with a local (parallel port) printer I've not seen this problem occur. (of course, I don't print as much on the printer at home, either.) I see this bug in the cups bug tracker: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1648 and it sounds as if it might be the same thing, though it is against cups 1.2, while Centos appears to have 1.1.22. Can anyone shed any light on it, especially how to make it stop happening?

Alpha Server 1000A 5/400 Centos 4.3 instal can not find the hard drives.
by Stewart Walker 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

During the install of alpha Centos 4.3 I'm told by the Centos installer that the hard drives can not be found. Hard Drives have been properly configured in the ARC setup. ARC initialization of the drives works fine. I can create windows nt partitions Went thru the list of drivers provided by Centos but the installer has already loaded the the QLogic and Mylex DAC960 controller drivers. I opened the box and found the controller is really a Mylex controller card . I'm a little confused about the QLogic as it is integrated on the mother board. Something is missing. What? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since you don't mention which controller yours has it's only possible to offer suggestions. One possibility is that there simply isn't a linux driver for it, in which case it isn't going to matter which distro you try to install on it. It's just not going to work. Another option that you may have is that some of the RAID controllers that Dell used (the PERC/3's come to mind) had the ability to emulate a plain SCSI controller. This was generally togglable in the BIOS. If yours has this option it's possible that it will emulate something that there is a driver for. I have actually run into this before with the PE2450s. In SCSI mode the controller appeared as an adaptec 78xx which had a driver, in RAID mode it was something completely different (what exactly it was escapes me at the moment). -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel

artsd eating CPU cycles when idle
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

I've noticed that artsd sometimes eats as much as 20% of CPU when idle. This is on my old laptop (where playing MP3s eats up to 50-60% of CPU). On newer faster processors this would probably go unnoticed (if it eats 20% on Pentium MMX, on Pentium 4 it might be around 1-2% or even lower). Just wondering if anybody else noticed this behaviour?

I have a new (used)Dell Poweredge 1550 server with 2 scsi drives (dual 1ghz w/ 2048MB) that I'm attempting to install CentOs 4 onto and am having problems getting the darn thing to recognize the hard drives. (it's worth noting that it's running RAID 0 and the RAID bios recognizes both drives as being in "optimal" state). I start the installation process and all is going well until it autoprobes. All other hardware is found except for the hard drives. The install subsequently fails because there the drives can't be found. I have been googling my brain out over the last week and this seems to be an issue with installing linux on this particular server model.

php-mcrypt extension

I see that there are a plethora of php extensions available as rpms, from the centos repositories, but not the php-mcrypt extension. I'm trying to stick to an rpm-only system and haven't found one that provides this, yet, for my 4.4 system. Is there any plan to add this to the repository in the near future (if at all)? Does anyone know where I can get it, otherwise? I see there is one for FC4. Perhaps I can do a --rebuild on it? -- -ste

Centos 4.4 ipvsadm problem
by Jonathan Lundberg 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hi All, Using CentOS 4.4 with ipvsadm-1.24-6. I am using LVS/ipvsadm to load balance webservers, with about 20 VIP's in use. My problem is that when I start the pulse service, all of the interfaces seem to appear correctly in the output of ipvsadm -ln , but it is not possible to connect to them. I discovered that the ones I _CAN_ connect to appear in the full ifconfig listing, while for some reason, the ones that I can't connect to are missing from the output of the ifconfig command. When I bring them up 'manually' using ifconfig after ipvsadm has run, it is then possible to connect to them no problem. This isn't very elegant, and goes against the LVS how-to, as well as being a bit of a pain when you want to fail over from one LVS server to another. Has anyone encountered a similar problem to this?

bacula rpm --rebuild on x86_64?
by Gordon McLellan 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I tried to install the latest bacula last night, rebuilding from the source rpm ... this is the command line I used, following the instructions at bacula.org: # rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" \ --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm but the rebuild fails, citing all sorts of dependencies being required. problem is, all the dependencies it mentions are for 386 and/or 32 bit, not x86_64. when I try doing a yum install somedependency, yum informs me it's already installed so I tried to do a yum localinstall of the source rpm, and yum tries to download the 32bit versions of the dependencies and then fails when they conflict with the 64bit versions already installed. here's the output of the rebuild: [root@tachyon ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm Installing bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root error: Failed build dependencies: gcc-c++ is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 autoconf is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 atk-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libstdc++-devel = 3.4.6-3 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libxml2-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 pkgconfig is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 pango-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libtermcap-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 gtk2-devel >= 2.4 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libgnomeui-devel >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 ORBit2-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libart_lgpl-devel >= 2.3 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libbonobo-devel >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libbonoboui-devel >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 bonobo-activation-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 GConf2-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 freetype-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 [root@tachyon ~]# uname -a Linux tachyon 2.6.18.1 #3 Fri Oct 20 23:35:27 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux yes, I'm running a non standard kernel ...

Sluggish X session with Cygwin/X and gnome desktop
by Wei-min Lee 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hello, I just installed CentOS 4.4 and when I connect to it from my XP machine using Cygwin/X and the gnome desktop I've noticed that after a couple of minutes it slows to a crawl (menus and dialog boxes don't display immediately when I click on them). Accessing the X session from the console does not exhibit this behavior. Just recently, instead of going with the default gnome desktop and just to rule out possible connectivity concerns, I selected the KDE desktop during logon and did not notice this behavior. I tried comparing gdm.conf to my RHL7.3 machine and I'm not seeing anything drastically different so what am I overlooking? Wei-min Lee

Recently I have figured out that version of coreutils is : [ivan@algol ivan]$ rpm -q coreutils coreutils-4.5.3-28.1 while RedHat has released an bux fix errata to that package: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0670.html Actually I discovered that when I encounter bug that should be fixed by this update: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200327 Why this package is not included in recent centos3 updates? Thank you, Ivan

Running a 32-bit application on CentOS3-x64
by Ugo Bellavance 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi, I'm trying to run Norman anti-virus on a CentOS 3 box, x64. Is it possible? Running the binary gives me this error: [root@server bin]# ./nvcc -bash: ./nvcc: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory I guess I would have to install i386 libraries that it requires, as well. It it possible? Regards, Ugo

Poblem with Centos Logos on X bootup...conversion from whitebox to centos.
by Sanjay Arora 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hello all I migrated my Centos installation from a whitebox install few months ago. Only one minor issue...on booting up X, the login screen shows whitebox logos. At that time, I did not tackle it because I assumed that it will automatically be upgraded with yum...and again it was not essential to running the OS. What whitebox rpms do I need to substitute with centos ones to correct this behaviour? With regards. Sanjay.

I've restarted my torrent twice, and seen two rather quick failures (twice in a day), so this is a repeatable problem. I've now hooked the disk up on one of the root-ports and will be restarting the download against it. Still - there /should/ not be a problem running over a hub, powered or otherwise.

Running iptables/netfilter module connlimit with stock CentOS4
by Andrew Hull 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Greetings folks, I've been researching the various iptables modules that are included with the stock CentOS4 distro; particularly the connlimit module. Is connlimit included by default? I thought it is since performing # iptables -m connlimit --help returns information on connlimit usage along with the general iptables help info: <SNIP> connlimit v1.2.11 options: [!] --connlimit-above n match if the number of existing tcp connections is (not) above n --connlimit-mask n group hosts using mask </SNIP> The library seems to exist also: /lib/iptables/libipt_connlimit.so However, creating a rule that uses connlimit fails: # iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 --dport \ smtp -j REJECT iptables: No chain/target/match by that name # So, am I missing something simple? Or am I limited to using netfilter's patch-o-matic and compiling a custom kernel (that I *really* do not want to do)? Thank you so much, Andrew Hull

CSGFS repository not up-to-date?
by Jay Leafey 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Let me QUICKLY say I'm not complaining here, but is the csgfs repository not being actively maintained? The Red Hat ftp site has much newer versions available than what is currently in the CentOS csgfs repo, at least for the kernel modules. Should I just go ahead and rebuild them from the SRPMs myself, or is this an unintended condition? This has been holding me up from upgrading to the -4.0.3 kernel. It's not a critical problem, but I'd like to keep current if possible. Thanks! -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey(a)mindless.com

USB disk dropping out under light load
by Simen Thoresen 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi all, I'm running a pretty updated CentOS4 x86_64 server (Still on kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2, but appart from that fully up to date against the official repos) with a USB-disk attached (the USB-disk is a 750G Seagate disk in a Seagate enclosure) over a USB hub. I've noticed several times that after longish periods of activity, the disk drops out (log from last time, below). In this case, the disk activity was generated by running two bittorrent-clients (ie random access r/w patterns) fed by an 2Mbps connection (ie ~200kB/s datarate). I've been able to use the drive for copying multi-GB file-trees from the main disks (it's part of a backup project), so the failure below seems strange, and not related to traffic.

request for optimum setup configuration
by Raghavendra Moktali 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

hi, I am required to take text/doc files uploaded to a share/directory in a static ip, do some processing on this queue, convert the file format and save the results in a directory for it to be downloaded (or I could upload the same to another share/folder in another static ip). volume of files is about 1-5 files/second of about 50KB to 100KB each and the converting and delivery has to be in near real time. The actual conversion is on external systems on a seperate subnet and this planned server is for just handling the input and output automatically. I do not know yet if i can use a vpn as the server that provides the data allows this or not. I had planned to put up a centos 4.4 based secure ftp server with two diretories one for incomming files and other for completed, both password protected. the access to the directory will be limited to the ip addresses that are using this facility with iptables. Static IP | Firewall------(public ftp) | (private network 192.168.xx)doing the actual sork | could someone with more experience than me (read newbie) comment or suggest a better approach than the one above or point out security issues as the data must be secured at all costs. Thanks for your time. -- rm

Problems with yum/rpm and %pre scriptlet error 255

I am running xen (2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1) on top of a stock CentOS-4.4 installation. I have not added any additional virtual machines however. When trying to install (as root) acrobat reader 7 for Linux from the adobe rpm (AdobeReader_enu.i386 7.0.8-1) I get the following errors: error: %pre(AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1 This occurs whether I use yum or rpm directly to effect installation and whether or not setenforce is 0 or 1 for SELinux. I have looked for similar errors on google but none of the remedies that I have found there seem to work (turning selinux off, using rpm --replacepackages --replacefiles options). Does anyone here have any ideas that they care to share regarding what is likely the problem or how to fix it? Sincerely, -- James B.

noarch concerns? dangers?
by R Lists06 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Please share some wisdom from the list... :-) Realistically there is some type of difference between an rpm made for an arch (like i386 or x86_64 etc) vrs an rpm with noarch I was just looking at and downloaded these two from dag perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm they are the latest and are not assigned to an architecture there are older rpms of the same that are assigned an arch like i386 what concerns should I be aware of if any when considering installing these? Or should I just choose an older one with i386 etc architecture in mind? Unit to install on is production internet mail and web server etc Thanks and kind regards! - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at times (no disrespect intended) background: spamassassin and sa-update sa-update complains about Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC etc etc blah research showed that it *appears* they are in fedora core "core" yet evidentally not in the upstream "core"??? thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Openssh and CentOS
by Denis Machard 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

I would like to know why the version of openssh used in Centos4.4 is based on version 3.9p1 but not on a more recent version of openssh? The vulnerabilities found and corrected in the last version of openssh are also corrected in version 3.9?

S.r.l. Amedeo, Don't worry about your English, it's way better than my Italian! :) There are several reasons to get a code 23 error with rsync. One of them being disappearing files. You might have temp files that get into the rsync filelist before rsync transfers files. Once rsync starts transferring the files, and if any of those files are now gone from the filesystem, rsync will generate the code 23 error. Do you log the output from rsync?? That could give you more information as to the exact problem. HTH Thanks! Mark Schoonover IS Manager American Geotechnical V: 858-450-4040 - F: 714-685-3909 - C: 858-472-3816 "Stop the Earth!!

gnbd vs drbd

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Up until now, I have been using drbd for file custers with great success. Yes, it is a PITA, and sometimes you can get annoying sincronization issues (mostly on lab situations). Now I have been considering giving gnbd (with cs/gfs) a try.

Desktop cleared after reboot through VNC
by Michael Velez 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hello all, After issuing the reboot command on my CentOS server while being logged in through VNC and after the machine has actually rebooted, I get a blank desktop (no icons and not my default wall paper) when logging into X, whether I'm on the console or logging in through VNC. If I go into my Desktop folder in my home directory, I see all the appropriate .desktop files (but I don't see the icons on my actual desktop). When I go to the Preferences->Desktop menu, the desktop preferences application hangs. My toolbars, and default xclock at startup are all there, it's just that my desktop is a solid blue wallpaper (not my default CentOS wallpaper) and I have no icons on it. I guess I corrupted the desktop when I rebooted through VNC but I don't know how to get it back. Is there a way of retrieving this without having to delete this user and creating a new one? Thanks, Michael

Beagled on CentOS 4.4?
by Steve Bergman 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I'm needing a way to full text index a bunch of pdfs so that I can search them from a web front end. Beagle would be ideal. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon your viewpoint), mono, and mono apps, will likely never see the light of day in RHEL. I'm looking for the most straightforward way to get beagle installed. I don't need the gnome gui, just beaglelib, beagled, and beagle-query. rpmforge has an old version of mono (1.0.6). But no beagle. I could try with the FC6 SRPMS, but something tells me I'd run into problems, so I figured I'd ask here first. Thanks

Problems with LTO-3 and U320 on Centos 4.4
by Plant, Dean 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I am currently testing an Overland Tape storage unit with a LTO-3 drive on CentOS 4.4. After a random amount of time but usually when we have backed up about 0.5-1TB we get scsi errors which cause the backup to fail. I have rebuilt the box with Solaris 10 x86 and Windoze to prove the hardware and have successfully backed up over 3TB on each OS without error. Can anyone offer advice on how to find out what is causing the error in CentOS.

pptp, ipsec and vpn
by MrKiwi 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi All, This is a general VPN question; PPTP VPNs seem to be very easy to set up with CentOS as the VPN server and the built-in windose client, but how do list members feel about the security vunerabilities reported with the MS implementation? Specifically the 6 problems reported here : http://www.schneier.com/pptp-faq.html or maybe im being paranoid? Would any of you roll this solution out using the MS client for business use? I generally dont trust anything MS does, especially when security is concerned I feel i should be leaning towards an IPSec VPN, would anyone agree? (exchanging keys is not a problem for us) Thanks to all of you - this mailing list is fantastic :) Regards, MrKiwi

Since I had plenty of terabytes of storage, having compression on the files wasn't a requirement. One of my requirements was not having a gui to configure things, or do restores. Thanks for pointing some info out on backuppc, I've never heard of it. Mark

onboard adaptec SAS RAID controller not seeing drive(s)
by Steve Finley 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I have a Supermicro SuperServer 6025B-3V with their X7DB3 mobo. It has an onboard Adaptec SAS RAID controller and has been configured as a RAID1 with two Seagate Cheetah 15k.4 disks. Original attempts at installing CentOS4.4 x86_64 appeared to load the aic94xx driver, but then reported something like "No hard drives found...". I grabbed the x86_64 aacraid driver disk from Adaptec (updated 23 OCT 2006) and tried a "linux dd" install. Although the driver disk appears to load, I still get the "No hard drives found.." message. I'm waiting for a response from Supermicro, but any advice from this list (including a controller that works) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve Finley

You did much better explaining what's going on with hardlinks than I did. I'm going to have to rewrite that part of the blog a few times before it reads better. I can picture it all in my head, but describing how it works is another. >Note that this only works as a backup if the original filename is removed. If it >is overwritten or truncated instead, all links now point to the changed version. This is true if you're doing it with only filesystem tools, but this system is using rsync. What's happening is the cp -al occurs first making hardlinks that point to an hourly directory into the current directory, then rsync is run to update current. Because rsync will create a new temp file when any file changes, the original is deleted with it's data 'pushed' to any hardlinks pointing at the original file. Rsync then renames the temp file the original file name that has changed, therefore assuring that any hardlinks will always have the previous copy of any changed files. With rsync running in --delete mode, any files from the source server that get deleted, will get deleted out of current in the backup server, causing this cascade of hardlinks to get updated with the deleted files data. That's how this system can create incremental backups of only changed data, but with hardlinks, it looks like full backups are made each and every time. Really saves disk space, that's for sure! Hope this clears things up... Mark

pptp + iptables + centos

Hi, All I'm tring to get a client connected to a vpn server running pptp & centos, the client connects to the server but I can't browse the internet or the local network from the client, when I stop the firewall the client can ping the server but no browsing can be done, do I need a iptables rule to allow pptp clients to use the internet or browse the network???
