bind-chroot rpm only builds chroot tree?
by Robert Moskowitz 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

I just downloaded the bind-chroot rpm and looked into it with Archive manager (so I am lazy), and no files, just the chroot tree. I am assuming there is some script that Archive manager does not show, or I am just missing it, because the ROOTDIR= did get added to /etc/sysconfig/named (and the one in the bind rpm is without this line). Just interesting that if you chroot, you are expected to know that everything needs to be placed there. And they leave the /etc/named.conf there untouched. Seems they should remove this or make it a symlink? And what about /etc/rndc.key? your chrooted bind uses the /var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.key and rndc uses the /etc/rndc.key, or so it seems, so your rndc.key is left unprotected outside of the chroot jail? Am I missing something in the rndc setup with chrooted bind? I am not seeing any special instructions on this in the Redhat documentation.

chrooted bind -- addition to rsyslog.conf
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

In /etc/sysconfig/named that gets installed along with bind-chroot there is a comment that basically says: Don't forget to add "$AddUnixListenSocket /var/named/chroot/dev/log" line to your /etc/rsyslog.conf file. All these little touches you need to find out about. But is there any order in rsyslog.conf? Do I just add this line to the end of it?

motherboard for cents 6.3
by Jerry Geis 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Seems like overnight every motherboard that worked with linux has DROPPED off the face of the earth. Every motherboard I looked at is using the realtek 8111 chipset and a northbridge that is not supported. Example: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3, does not work with linux I tried disabling the onboard NIC and using a PCI-E intel card I always use and that would not work either. The north or south bridge is messing with the network card. The card asks for a PXE boot but after centos starts it can no longer find kickstart files, network is messed up. I was using Asus M5A88-M and they are no longer available. Anyway - anyone have a suggestion for and AMD motherboard that works with linux be great if it has onboard video (gaming is not needed), onboard network, SATA nothing super special just "working". Thanks, jerry

Installing SOGo on Centos 5
by Nikolaos Milas 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hello, I was following directions at: http://www.sogo.nu/english/support/faq/article/how-to-install-sogo-and-sope… to install SOGo on CentOS 5.9 and, noticing that among the dependencies is memcached and rpmforge includes a much more recent version than EPEL, I preferred rpmforge and therefore I set a higher priority for rpmforge repo (see below). [Note: I guess I could have left out epel in the first place, because I saw that no package was used from there, yet I thought I should follow the directions at the above page, which claim that epel should be enabled, just in case.] So I did: # yum --enablerepo=rpmforge,epel,rpmforge-extras,sogo-rhel5 install sogo sogo-devel sogo-debuginfo where I have the following priorities set: [base] priority=1 enabled=1 [updates] priority=1 enabled=1 [addons] priority=1 enabled=1 [extras] priority=5 enabled=1 [centosplus] priority=6 gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 [contrib] priority=15 [rpmforge] priority = 2 enabled = 0 [rpmforge-extras] priority = 2 enabled = 0 [epel] priority=5 enabled=0 [sogo-rhel5] enabled=0 priority=3 but I got: ... perl-AnyEvent-5.340-1.el5.rfx.x86_64 from rpmforge-extras has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: perl(Net::SSLeay) >= 1.33 is needed by package perl-AnyEvent-5.340-1.el5.rfx.x86_64 (rpmforge-extras) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::SSLeay) >= 1.33 is needed by package perl-AnyEvent-5.340-1.el5.rfx.x86_64 (rpmforge-extras) However, it seems an RPM is available at rpmforge-extras (and is > 1.33): # yum --enablerepo=rpmforge,rpmforge-extras,rpmforge-testing info perl-Net-SSLeay ...

First, I am a *nix heretic. Second, I have been using one form of Redhat or another since v5.2 c.1999. For the past 11 years or so I have used Webmin (shielded through IPTables for those horrified at the security implications) to administer my servers, both local and remote. I simply could not get my job done in the time available without it or something much like it. The CLI of the underlying utilities is the final arbitrator of course and there 'man <utility_name>' is your ever-present friend (usually). Nonetheless, the syntax of even the most common *nix commands is often arcane and similar utilities frequently have such subtly different variations that ones mind is sometimes driven to distraction with the inconsistencies. A GUI, whether web based or not, at least clears away that problem for many routine tasks. In any case you will be forced to learn the cli for some utilities from the outset because there is no safe way of using them otherwise. And situations will arise where knowing how to creatively combine utilities with pipes on the command line will save a great deal of time and trouble. A GUI will never give you those opportunities. But for most day-to-day stuff a GUI saves a considerable amount of effort and prevents a great deal of error. Both of which for a newcomer to Linux are of great value. As others suggested, having a test server for experimentation is a really, really good idea. I tend to fire up guest instances on my kvm desktop for such 'proof of concept' trials but I suppose any crash-and-burn system would suffice. Good luck and welcome.

Eclipse CDT not working properly
by Toralf Lund 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hello again, Another problem with my new CentOS 6 installation: The C/C++ support in Eclipse seems to be partial or missing - even though eclipse-cdt is installed. Eclipse starts all right, and I get a C/C++ perspective, but: 1. If I open a C++ file, it's sent to an external editor. 2. C or C++ is not mentioned in Preferences. 3. I can't find a reference to CDT under Help->About Eclipse Platform->Installation Details I've tried reinstalling all the eclipse packages, and also resetting the workspace as well as the settings in ~/.eclipse, but it made no difference. On startup I get the following messages: CompilerOracle: exclude org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith CompilerOracle: exclude org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/lookup/ParameterizedMethodBinding.<init> CompilerOracle: exclude org/eclipse/cdt/internal/core/dom/parser/cpp/semantics/CPPTemplates.instantiateTemplate CompilerOracle: exclude org/eclipse/cdt/internal/core/pdom/dom/cpp/PDOMCPPLinkage.addBinding CompilerOracle: exclude org/python/pydev/editor/codecompletion/revisited/PythonPathHelper.isValidSourceFile CompilerOracle: exclude org/python/pydev/ui/filetypes/FileTypesPreferencesPage.getDottedValidSourceFiles Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's wrong? Is anyone here are using Eclipse for C++ development, anyway? Eclipse platform version is 3.6.1-6.13.el6.x86_64, CDT 7.0.1-4.el6.x86_64 (those are the latest from updates.) - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

pcl to pdf
by Gregory P. Ennis 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Everyone, I am currently using a vsifax program (pcltotiff) to convert pcl files to tiff files on a SCO Unix box, and then I am using tiff2pdf on a Centos 5.9 box to convert the file to a pdf. There are other commands that deal with multiple page tiff's and pdf's that are part of the process, but the above basic process has worked very well. The only thing I would like to enhance is a better resolution of the tif file and therefore the pdf file; the problem being the resolution capability of pcltotiff that comes with vsifax. I am limited on the SCO box as to what I can install; it is too old to admit to, and is scheduled to be upgraded to a new Centos system. Obviously, I can get the pcl file to the Centos system easily, do any of you have suggestions of being able to convert a pcl file to pdf on the Centos system. Greg Ennis

selinux and tinydns
by Philip Manuel 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi all, tinydns starts up fine, selinux reports no issues (now after a day of clearing errors). If I turn selinux back to permissive in /etc/sysconfig/selinux, and reboot, tinydns responds to queries. If I turn selinux back to enforcing and reboot, tinydns does not respond. Monitoring /var/log/messages shows no errors from iptables/shorewall or selinux. The only way I can find an error is performing the following:- netstat -npl | grep tinydns # gives me the process id strace -f -p <process id> From this I can see that tinydns is reporting an error of:- recvfrom(3, 0x606720, 513, 0, 0x7fffc7321ec0, 0x7fffc7321edc) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) I've got setroubleshoot set to send me an alert on first occurrence of an issue, so far none received. Does anyone know how I should proceed from here ? Thanks Phil.

Overdue upgrade of bind
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I am **FINALLY** starting in on upgrading my domain server. Right now it is still on bind-9.3.6 via Centos 5.5. Stepping right up to 9.8.2 in Centos 6.3. I am pretty good with zone files and the like, though I will finally get to tackle DNSSEC (and I can go to the sources Austien, Vixie, and Liu if need be or even the bind list!), but right now I have much more mundane issues. Like it looks a bit like the chroot tree has changed! In particular under /var/named/chroot/etc I use to put my named.conf with all the include files. Now I see sub-directories named and pki there. I am ASSuMEing that pki will be for the DNSSEC; but where is the documentation? I tried looking for readme files, but can't find anything related to the chrooted bind environment. What file is the location of named.conf set up in? The zone files look to go in the same place I have them on the old server under /var/named/chroot/named/var/named.

mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdg: Device or resource busy
by Keith Keller 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hello all, I have run into a sticky problem with a failed device in an md array, and I asked about it on the linux raid mailing list, but since the problem may not be md-specific, I am hoping to find some insight here. (If you are on the MD list, and are seeing this twice, I humbly apologize.) The summary is that during a reshape of a raid6 on an up to date CentOS 6.3 box, one disk failed, and was marked as such in the array, but is not allowing me to remove it: # mdadm /dev/md127 --fail /dev/sdg mdadm: set /dev/sdg faulty in /dev/md127 # mdadm /dev/md127 --remove /dev/sdg mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdg: Device or resource busy And in dmesg, I get an error like so: md: cannot remove active disk sdg from md127 ... More details, including mdadm -D output and other diagnostics, are at http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg41928.html . As I note there, the array seems fine otherwise, but is not currently in active use (so perhaps my options are greater than if I wished to keep it deployed). As the other messages in that thread show, I think I've already done the ''obvious'' steps to try to remove the device from the array. Checking things out further, I found that it may be that udev did not completely remove the disk, even though the controller no longer believes that the exported unit exists. (udevadm output is here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg41950.html ) So my hypothesis is that if I can somehow force udev to drop the references to the disk completely, perhaps I can remove sdg from the array and start a rebuild with the spare already available. I found these docs for Fedora: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Storage_Administration_… But of course I can't do step 3, since md is refusing to give up sdg. But sdg is already gone, so I really don't care about outstanding IO, and it's a bit too late to worry about a 100% clean removal. So my questions are, will step 7 actually clean up references to sdg, and how likely is it that doing so would let me remove it from the array? And finally, if the above is not a wise way to go, are there better things to try? If other diagnostic output is desired please let me know. Thanks! --keith -- kkeller(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

Disabling the shutdown buttons in graphical login screen of CentOS 6.3
by Andrea*s Jackie Klaura 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi, I am not sure if I probably have overlooked some important clue, but I am stuck with a problem with the gdm-greeter in CentOS 6.3 here since three days without finding any suitable solution. The problem: * I have to somehow deactivate the "Suspend", "Restart" and "Shutdown" options in the login screen. * This has to be done in CLI mode, as I have to change this on many machines Tried out solutions: * As far as I could figure out gdm-simple-greeter would be the programm I'd have to tweak. But changing options in /etc/gdm/custom.conf does not change anything (as if this file would be ignored). * Another thing would be to set the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons option to true through gconftool-2. But this option also seems to be ignored. Several posts on the web point to this being a bug which is fixed in RHEL but not CentOS. * I also tried to limit access to all the poweroff, reboot and halt commands through pam.d so that only root would be allowed to shutdown. This did not work either. * I even tried to rename the /sbin/reboot command (and therefore deactivate all the different links pointing to it). Still clicking the buttons still lead to a shutdown (although at some point it got stuck, but the system was not reachable any more). Additional remarks: * I did also delete /etc/acpi/events/power.conf in order to disable the physical power button on the machine. At least that did work, but the problem still is that normal users can shutdown the machine through the gdm login screen. If anyone has any hints, I would be very glad. And sorry if I overlooked anything, but meanwhile I am getting a bit desperate. Looking through the web and different mailing lists and fora gave me the impression that there are still several people out there with this problem and no real solution is around. thanks, cheers, jackie -- Andrea*s Jackie Klaura University of Vienna Institute of Theoretical Chemistry Waehringerstr. 17 A-1090 Vienna, Austria tel: +43 (0)1 4277 52756

This only seems to happen with C5 (RH5?) guests on a KVM host. C6 guests don't have the problem. Googling also shows Debian with issues, and the problem may be in the ISC code base. The work-around is to add an iptables entry on the host: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill With this in place dhclient on C5 guests can happily renew their address Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.0.0.134 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: DHCPACK from 10.0.0.134 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: bound to 10.0.0.135 -- renewal in 16918 seconds.

centos 6 rpmbuild
by Larry Brigman 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I have a spec file that is doing a binary rpm build. This spec file works on centos 5 but fails on centos 6 for file not found. Here is the files section: %files %defattr(-,root,root) %defverify(not mtime group) %config /etc/captureProxy.conf /etc/init.d/captureProxy /etc/logrotate.d/captureProxy /usr/bin/captureProxy %doc /usr/share/man/man5/captureProxy.conf.5 %doc /usr/share/man/man8/captureProxy.8 Here is the resulting error message: error: File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man5/captureProxy.conf.5 error: File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man8/captureProxy.8 RPM build errors: File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man5/captureProxy.conf.5 File not found: /vobs/linux/rpmbuild/captureProxy/usr/share/man/man8/captureProxy.8 The two doc files are getting compress to .gz files in centos 6 but not in centos 5. and I have tracked it down to the %install section because if I do -bi instead of -bb and look at the files the base .5 and .8 files are now .gz. Can I fix this behavior?

OT: UPS battery vendor
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi, folks. I need some new replacement batteries for rack-mount APC UPSes. My old vender... well, the salesman I dealt with for several years left about a year and a half ago, and last year's purchase was a disaster (wrong batteries, wrong batteries, months to get the shipping to return the wrong batteries...), so I'm looking for a new, reliable vendor who does US government contract sales. Recommendations? Warnings? mark

Request help about developing android apps on CentOS
by Harry Chen 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi there Firstly I must claim that this is the first time I using a mailing list and I am not familiar with the rules here. As well I am not so good at English too. So here's my apologizes if I'm not able to claim the problem clearly. I'm now using CentOS 6.3 with kernel 2.6.32-279.19.1.el668. Recently I wanna transfer my work from WIndows 8 to Linux. One of my hobbies is developing Android apps(:-)So I am not a prof at all). Everything goes well when I install Eclipse, Android SDK, blahblah. But the worst thing was that I couldn't make ADB connect to my phone. My phone is Huawei C8812 which can be listed by lsusb as Bus 001 Device 003: ID 12d1:1031 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. And I followed the instructions on http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/tools/device.html ,but it seemed not working at all. So I found another page http://www.cnblogs.com/116913829/archive/2012/02/09/2343996.html ,it couldn't help me ,either. Yet I have rebooted and restarted udev for hundreds of times, it just wouldn't show on the list of 'adb devices'.(Yes, I confirmed I turned the 'USB Debugging' on on my phone.) I am confused, can anyone help me? Thank you anyway. Harry Chen

LibreOffice 4.0 on Centos 5.9
by fred smith 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

I've just installed LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on my Centos 5.9 system. the previous version (3.4.x) was working fine. But 4.0.0.3 won't start up. When run from a terminal it prints: no suitable windowing system found, exiting. Is this yet another case of apps moving on beyond compatibility with the older components in C5? Or any hints for making it work?

How to limit upload bandwidth for a KVM guest?
by Neil Aggarwal 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hello: I am using a CentOS server as a KVM host using bridged networking for the guest servers. I would like to limit the bandwidth available to a guest. I tried using the tc command, but it is only limiting the download speed to the guest. Is there a way to limit the upload speed from the guests?

Is this right? -- Centos 6 and RHEL 6 infrastrure for continuous update/upgrade
by Gelen James 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hi all, Both RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 can be installed from any minor releases DVDs: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, etc. And then got continuous upgrade/update with command 'yum -y upgrade' if repos are setup correct. But the repos infrastructure is different between the two. CentOS uses two repos: ..../centos/6/os/... repo and .../centos/6/updates/... The updates/ repo contains ONLY updated RPMs between minor releases. currently the updates/ contains updates after 6.3. and the /centos/6/os/ points to 6.3Base. Question #1: supposed I installed with Centos 6.2 last year, and let's say Centos 6.4 comes out two months later and I have not updated a single package since initial installation until Centos 6.4 comes out (I am way too lazy :) ), then How can I setup my yum config to not miss any updated packages? Should I put all three repos inside yum config? centos-6.2-kickstart-os centos-6-os centos-6-updates or the centos-6.2-kickstart-os is not needed at all -- the centos-6-os and cnetos-6-updates together contains all latest RPMS since 6.0 -- ? The first way may render yum to report warning of 'duplicate RPM group definitions' or similar. Questions #2: I've heard that RHEL 6 uses a different path, they seems to have only one big continuously updated base os/ repository. all the RPMs updated since 6.0 (include RPMs at the published day of RHEL 6.0) are contained in the repo. So only the one repo is in need to upgrade systems at any time. Is this true? and if so, any benefits go with it? Thanks. --Robinson

Performance issue
by Carlos Henrique Reimer 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi, I suspect a CPU bottleneck in one of our PostgreSQL servers but not sure how to confirm the suspect. It's a DELL Box running CentOS 5.4 with 64GB RAM and 16 XEON E7430 2.13 GHz processors. vmstat r column "run queue" usually indicates values higher than 2 and less than 5 but "Load Average" values from top, sar -q and other commands show always values less than 1. Should not these values be higher than 16 on a box with 16 processors to confirm a CPU constraint? Thank you in advance! -- Reimer 47-3347-1724 47-9183-0547 msn: carlos.reimer(a)opendb.com.br

Is CentOS-6.3-x86_64-netinstall.iso broken?
by George R Goffe 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi, I'm probably doing something wrong or misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. I have written this ".iso" image to a DVD and booted from it. I then selected the first install option from the menu. I get some prompts and then I'm asked to specify where the media is. I assumed (there's that word) that I should just hit enter, thereby selecting the "from DVD" option. I got a message about not being able to find the install materials? Is this what the install process is looking for? Shouldn't it be looking in the network? Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, George...

rpmbuild for different architecture [OT?]
by Steve 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

As far as I can tell, the rpm-list went defunct circa 2008 so I'm asking here. No doubt someone will let me know if this is not OK. I'm trying to build an RPM on a CentOS VM targeted to run on an ARM architecture machine. I have a test program, prime, that I cross compiled on my VM and when I copy it onto my target machine it runs correctly. Now I want to package it in an RPM. On my target machine, I run $ uname -m armv71 so on the VM I wrote my spec file and ran $ rpmbuild -ba --target armv71 prime.spec ... processing files: prime-1.0-1.armv71 unknown, 0: Warning using regular magic file '/etc/magic' Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(payloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 ... Wrote /home/steve/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv71/prime-1.0-1.armv71.rpm ... So it seems that some parts of rpm realize that I've cross compiled and some parts don't. Any ideas on how to get rid of these warning messages? I tried putting 'Autoreq: 0' in the spec file but that didn't help. A second problem is that when I go to install the rpm on the target machine, I get an error saying that the architecture doesn't match. I had to use --ignorarch to get it to install. What does rpm use to determine what the architecture is if not uname? With the --ignorearch option, the RPM installs and the program runs as expected. Thanks, Steve

Virtualisation, guests cached memory and density
by Nux! 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hello, We all know linux distros will use most of the free memory available for caching stuff, I/O buffers etc (hence sites like linuxatemyram.com) In many virt scenarios we have some sort of memory deduplication mechanisms, such as KSM on KVM (don't know how it's called in Vmware). My situation is one where I need to cram up as many virtual machines as I can on a single hypervisor and I believe KSM does not work for the memory used as cache/buffers. How could I work around this? Any other pointers for achieving higher density welcome (don't suggest container technology please). -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Pulseaudio pauses when switching virtual terminal?
by James Pearson 08 Feb '13

When using CentOS6/Gnome any audio playback will pause if I switch to other virtual terminals - and resume when I switch back to X Does anyone know if it is possible to configure pulseaudio (or some other means?) to allow audio to continue playing when switching virtual terminals? Thanks James Pearson

OT - odd behavior of Cisco switch
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Ww just had our switch replaced with a pair of 3750G's, old and new all have 48 ports, so we now have some open ports.... Anyway, my manager was looking at issues yesterday, and discovered that for a while, off and on, from several systems on the new switches, he could see traffic between *other* servers and systems elsewhere in the building... which, of course, shouldn't be possible with a switch. He tells me that some switches, if they were overwhelmed with traffic, would give up and go into hub mode, but he's under the impression that was written out of the firmware years ago, while these are new switches. Anyone run into this? mark
