My guess is you had old version of tzdata package, that was updated to current version sometime in the past. Now, if you look which package owns /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo stuff, you get: # rpm -qf /etc/localtime glibc-2.3.4-2.13 # rpm -qf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern tzdata-2005m-1.EL4 As far as I can see, tzdata package has no pre/postinstall scripts associated with it. That would mean /etc/localtime doesn't get updated when tzdata is updated. Unless I missed something, it's probably a bug in tzdata RPM package. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am thinking of using this controller with 8 x 80gbyte SATA drives an Raid 5, on Centos 4.x does anyone have experience of this type of setup and what type of performance can I expect on a AMD dual 2.8Ghz MP cpu system with 2gb ram? Thanks Denis

Many thanks, that was basically the problem. It wasn't Canadian time, but it was the wrong /etc/localtime. I don't know where that /etc/localtime came from -- it's not the same as any of the files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo hierarchy. But putting US/Eastern in there did the trick. Stowe Davison

firefox update extensions
by Dave 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

The update feature in FF appears to be disabled, which is fine since I upgrade from the repositories. But it looks like the extension updates are disabled as well. Even if I go to the extensions menu, right click on update they don't seem to update. Is there a setting to enable extension updates? I set extension.update.autoupdate to true in about:config and that didn't seem to help.

Kernel compilation - 2.6, x86_64, CentOS4.1
by John Logsdon 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi I am having trouble compiling some 2.6 kernels on a x86_64 box under CentOS4.1. I cannot use xconfig at all and menuconfig on my system is unreadable. It appears to be something to do with the Qt library but I have all the necessary bits installed: qt-devel-3.3.3-9.3 qt-3.3.3-9.3 but note that the second of these only is installed both for x86 and x86_64 - the first is installed for x86_64 only. I have tried both the standard kernel 2.6.9-11.EL-smp-x86_64 and also 2.6.11.12 and the same problem exists. Googling around, it appears to be to do with a makefile in scripts/kconfig and none of the fixes work. On issuing make xconfig, the messages always end up: HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 and the fixes suggest removing the middle two lines in scripts/kconfig/Makefile (starting at line 130 for the 2.6.11.12 case): LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib; LIB=qt; \ - $(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory > /dev/null 2>&1 && \ - LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib/$$($(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory); \ if [ -f $$LIBPATH/libqt-mt.so ]; then LIB=qt-mt; fi; \ But that still returns the same fault. Can anyone advise? The same kernel compiles perfectly on an x86 box.

Will running this update to centos 3.6 include the mail extensions for php-4.3.2-25.ent.centos.1?

root file system on multipathed device and some other questions
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I was playing a bit with multipathed devices (over two FC HBAs on SAN) last week (I had some hardware for limited time to play with). The support for multipathing in device mapper seems to be a bit newer thing, and I was left with couple of questions (things I haven't managed to try out while I had the hardware)... Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? I guess in this case some multipathing setup would need to occur when init scritps from initrd image are run, but I don't think mkinitrd is capable of generating such scripts (I might create it by hand, though, but than it wouldn't be recreated correctly on kernel upgrades). What about LVM? If I define physical volume on multipathed device, when vgscan is run from initrd image, and say multipathing is not setup yet, it will scan (for example) /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, which both point to same device. Is it going to be confused when it finds something that looks to it as two identical physical volumes? Or if vgscan is run after multipathing is setup, it would see something that might look to it as three identical physical volumes. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb which represent two paths to the same device, and then /dev/mapper/WWPN (where WWPN is long hex number) which is just multipathed mapping to sda and sdb. Or would it be smart enough not to use sda and sdb in this case, and use only "multipathed" device entry from /dev/mapper? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

More info on 3Ware 9550SX from the field (in case anyone else is interested)
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

From a buddy of mine that has spent a little time with the new cards. This was in response to my email asking about his impressions of them: It just came out in mid-September. There are a couple reasons I'm not thrilled with it: 1) no 8-port multilane version (only 12) 2) the 8-port non-multilane version is a kludge, connector-wise (a row of 3 double-stacked connectors along the edge, for 6 ports, and 2 double-stacked connectors in the middle of the board, of which the first connector in the stack is a dummy) 3) They are only on the first release of the software (9.3.0, the first- ship release, didn't work, and they released 9.3.0.1). At some point they will ship a unified release for the 9550 and 9500, but that's a ways off 4) no BBU support (yet).

CentOS + GFS + EtherDrive
by Bowie Bailey 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I am considering building a pair of storage servers that will be using CentOS and GFS to share the storage from a Coraid (SATA+Raid) EtherDrive shelf. Has anyone else tried such a setup? Is GFS stable enough to use in a production environment? There is a build of GFS 6.1 at http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/. Has anyone used this? Is it stable? Will I run into any problems if I use CentOS 3.5 with it's GFS package to access a shared 5TB filesystem? I've been googling on this stuff off and on for a month now. I've found a bunch of conflicting and confusing information, but no clear answers. I've been kind of hoping that the new GFS 6.1 packages would be released while I was waiting... :) I appreciate any suggestions or pointers. Bowie

vsftpd resource hogging on 4.2
by Chris Mauritz 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

I've just noticed an odd bit of behaviour with 4.2. I'm using FTP to send a number of large binary files from a windows 2000 machine to a CentOS 4.2 system. Both systems are similarly configured (Athlon64 3200+, 1gig RAM, 80gig system disk, 1.2TB scratch RAID 0 array, gigabit ether to a dumb switch on which they are the only hosts). On the very first file, about 17.5gigs, I got about 30MB/sec. Not spectacular, but reasonably fast. On subsequent files, I only get about 25% of that throughput and vsftpd on the CentOS machine is eating 99.9% of the cpu, which is probably what is killing performance. Both machines are reading or writing to a RAID 0 array of 4 reasonably fast drives so I'm assuming that's not the bottleneck. I've also disabled SElinux and iptables on the Linux machine since the machines are in a non-internet sandbox. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

I am apparently doing something wrong somewhere, as I cannot get sendmail to listen on port 25. I've edited the sendmail.mc, commenting out the daemon process on port 127, rerun the m4 macro, rebuilt per documentation on sendmail, yet I still get a refusal on connection when trying to telnet to port 25. Is there something else I'm overlooking causing sendmail to not listen on port 25? Getting desperate now! Sam -- Snowman

Bother
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

This afternoon, after my fiasco with the other machine, I decided to bring the drive home and install it in the primary machine here, boot from the normal drive, then mount the 4.1 i386 drive so I could make changes and check things. What happened next was totally unexpected. After decompressing the kernel and starting the boot, there were all kinds of error messages scrolling off the screen, and so fast, I could not see what it was all about, but the boot halted at some point. After seeing that, I decided maybe it was not a good idea after all, but I'd done the same thing with an i386 version 3.5 with no problems. Is there some reason why I should not be able to boot from my normal drive, CentOS 4.2 x86_64, but still have the 4.1 i386 version on a secondary drive, even tho it was not automounted? Also, while on the subject, I found out that a FreeBSD drive is not mountable under Linux. It recognized the drive as a Sun ufs drive. Don't suppose there is any way around that problem is there?

Sendmail
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I know this is a "generic" question, but fully CentOS related. I attempted to set up i386 v.4.1 on my primary computer at the co-located site, and thought I had everything squared away till I discovered the machine was refusing mail connections. AFIK, I had no firewall or other objects blocking port 25. It has been my experience that with most arch's and versions where sendmail is the stock mta, they always seem to work out of the box with no tweaking at all. I have got to get this set up but will do it on a test machine rather than the production machine. Between that prblem and the changes between bind 8 and 9, I was dead in the water from the outset. Back online with the BSD machine for the time being. Any reason why mail connections would be refused ? (yes sendmail was running too) Thanks.. Sam

Visibility aside, isn't rc.local much too late for setting up iptables? My /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ has an S08iptables and an S10network, then lots more, including an S99local, and then after all this, rc.local is run. By this time, the network has already been up. It seems to me that if you want to do some iptables setup, it must be done before S10network, or it leaves a short-time security hole. Personally, I set up the iptables I want and then do service iptables save If I was worried about changes, I guess I'd modify S08iptables to check that nothing has changed, or add an S07checkiptables script.

Seeing the latest round of updates rolling in.... I just 'again' felt the need to say "Hats Off" (pun intended) to the CentOS team! The organization very much behind the scenes is not apparent, but very much must exist. It almost looks like there is an 'internal' competition between members, each trying to roll out the updates faster than the other. I know this must be a bit of a grueling task and one that interrupts the day's activities. Again, GREAT job folks!!! And a big THANKS!! John Hinton

multipath failover
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I got a chance to play a bit with new device-mapper-multipath. Unless I missed something obvios, docs seems to still be in the making. Could somebody point me to some docs for /etc/multipath.conf file? Couple of questions (I have very limited time I'll have access to hardware, sorry if I'm asking some obvious stuff). I managed to get things working by typing "multipath" from command line (the device in /dev/mapper created and working OK). However if I start using the device (create file system, mount it, do some I/O on it), and than unplug active path, after short delay I get failover to secondary path. However, by that time ext3 device driver decides something went wrong with the journal, and file system goes to read-only mode. I can unmount it and mount it again rw, but, hm, that's not why I have multiple paths. Any way around this? Is it possible to have root file system on multipathed device? Asking for support for that in Anaconda is probably too much to ask, but is it possible to do it by little manual work?

Fwd: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3
by James Olin Oden 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

If anyone would like to help test the latest RPM on Centos 3, heres your chance. There are several new features that are not mentioned in Jeff's email, but as he said he wants to make sure it does no harm more than anything else. As an example though, this version supports: - runtime depedency checking (think of being able to have cpan modules that weren't installed by rpm being detected, or crazy dependency like requires a particular processor of a particular stepping). - autorollback patches are worked in (this is still in progress and experimental, but, 4.4.3 will be the first official release of rpm with the latest autorollback code). There are other features add also, and of course many fixes. Cheers and Enjoy...james ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Johnson <jbj(a)jbj.org> Date: Nov 3, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: [Rpm-devel] rpm-4.4.3-0.34 for CentOS3 To: RPM internals development and distro coordination <rpm-devel(a)lists.dulug.duke.edu> I've compiled rpm-4.4.3-0.34 against CenTOS3. There is a yum repository with the necessary packages at http://wraptastic.org/pub/i386-CentOS3-linux/RPMS Note that these packages are compiled with --with-mutex=UNIX/fcntl. If you are wrestling with NPTL issues and rpm databases, then these packages will almost certainly help.

There are still uses for fcntl locking with, say, build trees for - NPTL legacy linux systesm, like rpmforge, and perhaps others, are doing, where fcntl locking is a far saner choice than posix mutexes because of the mixed +/-NPTL environment. Any/all help checking the CentOS3 rpm-4.4.3-0.34 is appreciated. I'm mainly interested in verifying rpm-4.4.3-0.34 does no harm. on CentOS3 (and RHL9) rather than testing of new features.

CentOS for axp and sparc arch (info)
by Pasi Pirhonen 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, I have initiated discussion about arch specific list at least twice among out core people to no avail, so i did make something i can do about it and created few list on host that i do admin myself. The reason for this is that this list is far too high traffic for most of discussion. I've personally received questions about arch specific lists as this is just too high traffic and people has just unsubscribed from this. http://upi.iki.fi/mailman/listinfo/ I don't make any promises about how long those lists are hosted, but i try to keep those forever. Hope this makes some progress on discussion about problems with these 'out of mainstream' arches. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

tree for CentOS 4.2?
by Robin Bowes 03 Nov '05

Hi, A rather trivial request: anyone know where I can find tree for CentOS? It's part of FC4 Base but I've not tracked it down for CentOS yet. On my FC4 box: # rpm -qi tree Name : tree Relocations: /usr Version : 1.5.0 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.

Install from CD bug
by Sam Drinkard 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I commented on this a few posts back, but thought it was perhaps a fluke of mine, but I'm not so sure now. Tonight, I tried without success to install the mysql package from the 4.1 CD's and I got the same non-event as before. After selecting the package with "add/remove software", I checked the mysql box, then added the server and perl modules to complete things. The CD was in the tray, but tray was open. When prompted, I clicked OK, the tray inserted, and the drive spun up, but nothing happened. I briefly saw the CD appear on the desktop, then disappear, which it did before. I know its mounted, as when I open the icon for computer, and select the CD-RW drive, the file list pops into view. Is this something that occured due to the 4.2 update, or should I be still able to install software from the CD using the add/remove tool? Pkg add jumps right open when I manually clicked on the mysql package in the rpm list, so I know that part is working. Any way to debug this problem, as there are times when I'd like to be able to install straight from the CD vs. a yum install (like when Dag's repo is down as it is now) Sam -- Snowman

Network Install Problems
by Nick Wales 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Installation over the network has seemingly failed, for the second time. Everything goes smoothly until about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through the downloading packages stage, at which point it hangs (both times its been 8% through a package, not sure if this is of any significance, 1st time cups and now gawk). I set the install to look on the mirror.centos.org site and use the centos/4/os/i386 folder. For the second attempt I chose a server install, with no additional packages... hoping this would help, apparently not. Its been hung for about 30 mins now, I would've thought this isn't normal, but maybe someone can enlighten me. Nick

openssl update

Hi all, Just a quick Q on the new openssl update. I recently converted from wbel3 to centos3, so my installed version of openssl _seems_ newer than the new version. Below are some details that may help...

Upgrade 4.1 --> 4.2 Question
by Thom van der Boon 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, I am in the proces of upgrading my CentOS 4.1 servers to 4.2. I've burnt CentOS 4.2 CD's from the ISO images (these images work because I already installed a new server with it), but I am unable to upgrade the existing servers to 4.2 using the CD's.... Does anybody have a clue, why this is not working... or is the online update option the only one... Thom

firewall dilemma
by JC 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi everyone, I have this problem that I'm not sure what's the best solution for it. I need your input & help... I have an internal network behind a hardware firewall. All traffics go thru. the firewall. One of the firewall's rules is that it doesn't allow internal network accesses internal resources that travels outside then come back. In the other words, it drops all packets originate from inside the network that travels outside and then come back to access internal resources. For example: I have web server (used internal ip 10.1.1.10) behind the firewall, internal network can access this web server with http://10.1.1.10, but they can't access http://www.mydomain.com. Assume that I have static IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) maps to 10.1.1.10 and dns record www.mydomain.com points to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx What I want is to allow users inside the network be able to access http://www.mydomain.com instead of http://10.1.1.10 Here is my question: should I change the rule of the firewall? If so, is there a security risk? Is there any other solution for this? By the way, I don't have an internal DNS, I use my ISP DNS service. Thank you so much for your help, JC

RE: [CentOS] Has anyone successfully used centos 4 as an iscsi CLIENT/w CHAP?
by Drew Weaver 03 Nov '05

Well, Im using an Adaptec Snap 4500 and I've had nothing but problems with it, initially I thought it was an issue with CHAP authentication so I completely disabled authentication and the kernel is still reporting in dmesg and /var/log/messages that it cannot authenticate with the target /boggle... On a side note, I know the iscsi slice works because I can connect to it just fine on Windows XP pro.

Does the rest of the world have a route back to the server for that new IP address? That is, you may be using the VPN address as your source and the server side as your default gateway so the packets go out, but you need routes back for the return packets. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Best mkfs.ext2 performance options on RAID5 in CentOS 4.2
by Sean Staats 02 Nov '05

I can't seem to get the read and write performance better than approximately 40MB/s on an ext2 file system. IMO, this is horrible performance for a 6-drive, hardware RAID 5 array.

Thank you. I found a fairly well written faq on what can go wrong with vpn, which of course I cannot find at the moment. The basic problem with my setup as originally given is that VPNs cannot connect over IPs belonging to the same netblock as the physical NICs. So the client end has to have an IP address assigned by the pptpd that is on a different netblock from that assigned to its NIC. I changed the client side IP address asignment and I can now get a VPN link to the PPTPD host, but I cannot get a route off that box. Once I get past that problem then I will post a summary of whaI did. This is evidently a routing issue, as you have pointed out, but one that is probably a by product of some configuration error I have made to the pptpd options.

Converting from WBEL 4 to CentOS 4.
by Sanjay Arora 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi all I want to migrate a server from Whitebox Linux 4 to CentOS 4. I think I should be able to do it without reinstallation, as both are RHEL clones...Can someone please tell me how? and if there are any pitfalls doing it on a production server and doing further updates from CentOS updates? With best regards. Sanjay.

Hosed by 4.2
by Syv Ritch 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, I have been using Centos since 3.0. I have been upgrading regularly without any major problem. 4.1 to 4.2 has been a total disaster. I ran yum update, it went through and a couple of hours later I rebooted and X froze with the screen just being just fuzz [regular rectangles, orange, green...] and the keyboard froze. Could not do a alt-ctrl-backspace, nor a Alt-F1-6 nor Alt-Ctrl-Del. I have a ATI9200 with a Samsung 710N [It only works at 1240x1024 @ 60Hz, it will not work at any other frequency] This is the same hardware as I was running with 4.1. I had to reinstall 4.1, now I cannot run yum update to get the security updates, it tries to upgrade to 4.2. 1. Is there a way to just get the updates for 4.1 and not 4.2 2. Any suggestion on what went wrong with X. It's not just the frequency display because the keyboard also froze. Thanks

proxying rsync through http
by Tony Molloy 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi All, I'm trying to get rsync to proxy through an apache httpd server to an rsync server. On the proxy, which has a direct connection to the internet, I've stopped the firewall and unset HTTP_PROXY and RSYNC_PROXY. I've configured the httpd to allow proxy requests as follows: <IfModule mod_proxy.c># ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from .mydomain.ie </Proxy> # # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers. # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers) # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block # ProxyVia On AllowCONNECT 443 563 873 i've tested rsync going direct to the rsync server and it works. On the client, which is on a private network, I've stopped the firewall and I've set RSYNC_PROXY=http://my-proxy-server.ie:80 HTTP_PROXY=http://my-proxy-server.ie:80 When I try to rsync to the external rsync server I get the following error. rsync: getaddrinfo: http //oldtraf: Servname not supported for ai_socktype rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(94) Any ideas what I'm missing Tony -- Tony Molloy.

Installing Tomact as a service... update
by Preston Crawford 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

So I've been trying to use this site and the daemon script here. http://www.linuxjava.net/howto/webapp/#tomcat It works so far. I mean, at least the server starts, I can get to the site, etc. So far, so good. The only problem is, for some reason when I start tomcat using root everything runs fine. When I start tomcat using this script, however, I get this.... FATAL [http-8080-Processor25] (DatasourceConnectionProvider.java:47) - Could not find datasource: java:comp/env/jdbc/sybDB javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context Any idea what the difference would be?

Setting up Tomcat as a service under CentOS 4?
by Preston Crawford 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I've found about a dozen different ways to skin this cat (no pun intended). Everything from creating a script in /etc/init.d/ to using jsvc. I was hoping someone out there, those of you out there who run Tomcat in this manner, how did *you* set this up? I can't seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or even direction to an authoritative document. Preston

Me again... I looked for tripwire rpms and came up blank on your mirrors. I was able to find them at a rpmfind site (for both el3 and el4), but it would be nice to have it included in the extras area. Any chance of this happening anytime soon? Thanks in advance Brad

Cyrus firstname.lastname@domain
by Dave Hornford 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I'm converting an environment from mandrake to centos, and always try to use the applications standard on the distribution. This means a switch from courier to cyrus. A bit of reading uncovered a potential problem - the site uses firstname.lastname@domain, and I have come across references that Cyrus does not support this. I couldn't find this limitation in the Cyrus documentation. Is it true? regards Dave www.hornfordassociates.com

blocking outgoing ports with iptables
by Ajay Sharma 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

Hi, I'm using the generic system-config-securitylevel-tui program on a remote server to configure my firewall. So far it's been fairly decent, allowing me to open up ports and whatnot. But I want to start blocking a couple of outgoing ports on my machine. I want to lock it down so the only traffic going in our out of my machine is stuff that I specify. Is there a way to do this with the system-config-securitylevel program? If not, what do you recommend I use to configure the firewall? thanks, ajay

Broken up2date & install from CD ?
by Sam Drinkard 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

I've run into some problems I can't explain. I tried to install the mysql package from the 4.1 CD's and the installer just sat there telling me to insert the CD into the drive and click OK. I did that, and it just blinked once, then returned to the same thing.. hit the OK button, etc., etc., again and again. Wound up having to yum install the mysql package which went OK afik. Now, trying to run up2date for the latest updates, and its hung on fetching the obsoletes list for channel centos4-addons. Will not go any further. I had to remove DAG from the repos, as every time I tried to fetch something, it bombed out, so don't know if its my problem or somewhere else. Hints?? Sam -- Snowman

AIC7901 RAID320 with CENTOS4 not recognized
by Erick Perez 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

An INTEL Server motherboard model SE7501BR2 with an onboard Adaptec AIC7901 controller (with HostRAID) is not being recognized by CENTOS 4. The AIC79xx driver loads correctly, however it does not "see" the fact that I used the HostRAID onboard software to create a RAID 1 set. I went to the INTEL site and only found a driver for RHEL 3.0 and I was unable to find a driver on the adaptec site. The CENTOS4 installer gives me the option to create partitions, raids, etc. This is not what we want since creating a RAID by software it's supposed to be more slow that doing it hardware based right? Does the CENTOS4 support the AIC7901 with HostRAID or not? Thanks for your comments and suggestions. -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!) Panama, Republic of Panama

CentOS proviiding additional services > was Setting up Tomcat
by Collins Richey 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

This thread (... Tomcat ...) emphasizes the essential conundrom of CentOS whose mission is to provide a community-based, well-maintained and freely distributable version of the stable enterprise software from the Well Known North American VENDOR (WKNAV). There is a essential gap betweenthe community (I want lots of current packages) and the WKNAV base (you get what I choose to provide). As CentOS becomes more popular and reaches more desktop and server users, the gap becomes more evident. And there is also the ever present clamor for software that is not freely distributable due to licensing considerations. What I would recommend to assist those who love the CentOS stable base but want more than CentOS can (legally or otherwise) provide is to follow the documentation approach taken by Ubuntu. Ubuntu is based on the Well Known GNU/Linux Provider (KKGLP) but goes well beyond what the WKGLP chooses to privide. The community of Ubuntu has provided a single document with brief HOWTOs and website references for a lot of commonly needed services that are not provided by Ubuntu or the WKGLP. Granted this document (based on Ubuntu 5.04) but not really updated for Ubunto 5.10) is rapidly aging, but it is an example of what could be a very valuable service. Ubunto also provides a well-organized list of HOWTOs on its forums. This is the place for services like Tomcat which have non-redistributable components. It's perfectly legal to provide concise, up-to-date HOWTOs for software that cannot be redistributed. Perhaps someone (or a group of someones) would like to take on organizing such a compendium of instructions on the CentOS Forum and keeping the compendium up to date? Think how many hours of googling and searching mail archives and copious RTFM could be saved! Instead of firing off a mail to this list, you could first look in a well known place on the Forum and avoid recasting a round object. I'm not in a position to undertake such an endeavor. I keep current with CentOS, and I want to see CentOS thrive, but I have only a peripheral interest in CentOS, and that peripheral interst is a work connection. My employer, like many others, prefers to have a contractural arrangement (who can I kick around if it breaks even though it never breaks?) and to pay big bucks to the WKNAV for that privilege. CentOS is the closest thing I can get for my home system without paying the WKNAV, and this I will not do. Some food for thought. -- Collins Richey Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ... If you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -Brian Kernighan

iproute create policy routes after reboot
by Robin Mordasiewicz 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

Which files do I need to edit in order to initialize a route after a reboot. I have a 802.1q tagged VLAN interface which I need to create a rule, and a route for. I see on my CentOs 4.2 box that in /etc/iproute2 there are the following files. I realize that I can add my tables to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables, but when I want to create a rule I am not sure where to put the information for the next reboot.

sshd problems

Hello, For some reason ssh has stopped working. Its been a good while since I tried to login remotely so I figure an upgrade is probably to blame as it was working some time ago. This is the only error I see when sshd is started: Oct 28 21:55:52 sshd[7137]: Server listening on :: port 22. Oct 28 21:55:52 sshd[7137]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. What does this mean? TIA

another postfix question
by Steven Vishoot 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

hello, i was thinking of using postfix for a mail server, the question is can i use this just for in bound email only and have my clients access this server locally. the clients would be outlook. I want this to check certain email accounts i have and download them to the postfix mail server. The reason i would think about doing this is my wife and i need to access both of these accounts and i do not want to keep them on the email account. is this feasable and secure? thanks Steven "On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows or better'. So I installed Linux."
