permission problems with avamis and Centos 6.3
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

I am trying to follow: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd Which seems to really be written for Centos 5, with just some selinux references for Centos 6. There are real problems here for Centos 6 with the userids section. It gives the following command and result: cat /etc/passwd | grep "amavis\|clamav" clamav:x:101:102:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/clamav:/sbin/nologin amavis:x:102:103:Amavis email scan user:/var/amavis:/bin/sh But my Centos 6.3 has: clam:x:494:490:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/lib/clamav:/sbin/nologin amavis:x:493:489::/var/spool/amavisd:/sbin/nologin Note the difference in userid clam instead of clamav. So this causes problems with the group recommendation: In addition, the clamav user should automatically have been added to the amavis group: # groups clamav clamav : clamav amavis If not, you can manually add clamav to the amavis group: gpasswd -a clamav amavis so I did: gpasswd -a clam amavis So far, it seems just changing what userid is now used by clamav... But in testing for spam I see the following in /var/log/maillog Jan 23 15:56:17 test1 amavis[25669]: (25669-01) (!)run_av (ClamAV-clamd) FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20130123T155617-25669/parts: lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR\n" I checked this directory tree and all along the tree the permissions are to amavis:amavis So where is my permission problem?

firefox 18
by fred smith 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Has anyone managed to get FF 18.0 to work on Centos 5.8? I've been hacking at it, placing a stack of .so files (from Centos 6) into a private directory, then using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the system to (in a shellscript that subsequently invokes ff 18) but so far I've not managed to find the right combination. I've moved over libstdc++, all or nearly all the .so files from glib2 and glibc packages. now I"m getting: ./firefox: symbol lookup error: ./libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4 and dunno either what I've done wrong, or what other things need to be brought over. Clues appreciated. :) -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

From what i could see last evening it seems as good as apt/synaptic. Although one could say that's not much good; synaptic doesn't completely remove all associated files, neither does apt's --purge option, although the more recent --autoremove does. But Debian's default package manager aptitude which few know how to use as they don't print off and read the 1 ins thick manual that comes with it - aptitude is the best package manager of all. There was only dependency problems with rpm and debian's dpkg - the apps didn't cope with it. Yum may do it now but it is also very slow by comparison with Aptitude. I think you've been unfairly critical tbh. From what i can deduce neither Debian or Redhat systems come close to the speed of slackware and i don't know why yet. james

How to configure display on CentOS 6?
by Toralf Lund 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

How exactly are you supposed to configure the display (i.e. set up X11) on a CentOS 6 system? I mean, in the past, there was system-config-display, but that's not supported any more. There is gnome-display-properties/System->Preferences->Display, but that seems to rely completely on auto-detection of the graphics card and monitors. What if this fails? Surely there should be a way to specify everything by hand?

Mail notification in panel/system tray on CentOS 6
by Toralf Lund 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to add a "new mail" notification icon to the panel/system tray under CentOS 6? On CentOS 5, I used the "mail-notification" software package provided by the Fedora "EPEL" distribution, but this is gone from the version 6 repository, and the one from version 5 won't install just like that due to dependency issues. Maybe it's possible to resolve those, but I'm wondering if that's the way to go, or if there is a better alternative these days. - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Hi I have (actaully on a number of machines) various Adaptec card installed, yet lsmod shows "dmraid" loaded? How come? I thought that dmraid is software raid? Is this part of the booting and if so How do I tell mkinitrd NOT to make it part of the bootup process?

Software Updater issue
by Mark LaPierre 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hey All, Heads up! For some reason the Software Updater thought it would be interesting for me if it upgraded my nvidia 304 driver with the nvidia 310.32-1 driver. That would be nice if the 310 driver supported my crusty old GS 7600 but it doesn't. I had to run two yum downgrade sessions to get it back to working again. First downgrade brought me 310.19-2, which doesn't support my video card, in place of 310.32. The second downgrade restored the 304 driver. I'm not sure about this but that seems like a bug when it thinks that the 310 driver package is an upgrade for the 304 driver package.

How to setup RAID 5 + 1 hot spare?
by Ren Wen shan 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hello everyone, I am new to this group so please forgive me if this question has been already asked. With four identical hard drives, I want to setup RAID 5 + 1 hot spare by a fresh CentOS (6.3) installation. I have read this article ( http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-raid-config.html) and watched this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm3MkuTfDLw) now I have the basic ideas. However, due to my limited experience and knowledge on this area, I am still confused. To make things easier, I only need a swap and a `/' partition. Could you give me any hint on this? What should I read to get the basic knowledge? How can I setup a simple RAID 5 + hot spare? Regards, - Meatball

load balancer recommendations
by Boris Epstein 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hello all, The question is not necessarily CentOS-specific - but there are lots of bright people on here, and - quite possibly - the final implementation will be on CentOS hence I figured I'd ask it here. Here is the situation. I need to configure a Linux-based network load balancer (NLB) solution. The idea is this. Let us say I have a public facing load balancer machine with an public IP of, say, 50.50.50.50. It is to receive the traffic (let's say, HTTP traffic) and then route it to two private HTTP servers, let's say, 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.10.11. It has to have persistence - i.e., be state- and session-aware. If for whatever reason one of the servers goes down the remaining pool shares all the traffic in some fashion (be it eound robin, saturation based, whatever). We have tried Vyatta ( http://vyatta.org/ ) and ZeroShell ( http://www.zeroshell.org/ ) and both are very good but their NLB seems to be externally facing (i.e., you have several internet connections and are trying to divide your traffic between them). What we need is an "internally facing" one, if I may say so. Any advice on what may help us would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Boris.

clock sync/drift
by Matt Garman 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi, We have a little over 100 servers, almost all running CentOS 5.7. Virtually all are Dell servers, generally a mix of 1950s, R610s, and R410s. We use NTP and/or PTP to sync their clocks. One phenomenon we've noticed is that (1) on reboot, the clocks are all greatly out of sync, and (2) if the PTP or NTP process is stopped, the clocks start drifting very quickly. If it was isolated to one or two servers, I'd dismiss the issue. I also had this problem under CentOS 4. I suspect something is mis-configured, because I can't imagine the hardware clock on ALL these servers is *that* bad. Anyone else dealt with anything similar? Thanks! Matt

Hey All, Totem has stopped playing .wmv files recently. I don't know exactly when this happened, but I know I've played .wmv files not too very long ago.

[OT] how to specify dimensions a a Java Popup
by Michael Hennebry 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

How, if at all, does one specify the size of a Java Popup? setSize on the contents Component does not get the job done regardless of when applied. I keep getting the same small square, serveral pixels on an edge. Is this documented somewhere? I've been trying to use docs.oracle.com, but nothing I've found answers the question. I truly hate the poke it and see what it does method of finding out what something is supposed to do. It never works. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily

openscad available?
by Mark LaPierre 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Does anyone know if there is a repo that has openscad for CentOS? rpmfind.net doesn't turn up anything. The openscad wiki page says, "As of 2013, prebuilt OpenSCAD packages are available on many recent Linux and BSD distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and NetBSD. Check your system's package manager for details." I though that maybe CentOS might have one too. I'll try building it from source if not, but I've seldom had success with that course of action. Most times the build fails for missing dependencies which just are not available for CentOS, or it fails to find them even when they are installed. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

anyone else noticed webalizer (or dns throughput in general) to be a lot slower lately?
by Joe Pruett 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

my nightly webalizer runs have gone from about 2 hours to over 8 hours. this change happened sometime after november. webalizer hasn't changed in years, but bind was updated in january, so i am thinking that is the likely culprit. has anyone else noticed a similar slowdown? i am going to dig through my logs to see if i can spot the day that things slowed down.

heads up on silent change in recent samba3x update
by Joe Pruett 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

i guess that upstream doesn't consider the samba3x packages should be treated the same way as other packages, but i just wanted to warn folks that the recent samba3x update changed a default setting. if you rely on hostnames in a hosts allow/deny clause (and possibly elsewhere), things won't work until you set 'hostname lookups=yes'. given that it jumped from 3.5 to 3.6, there may be other changes as well.

Custom locale, LC_TYPE and urxvt
by James B. Byrne 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

I have a custom locale in use on our system. Consequently, Xlib does not recognize the default environment setting for LC_TYPE. To get an urxvt window opened without encountering the locale error message I am therefore constrained to use some variant of the following: LC_TYPE=en_US.UTF-8 urxvt& I would like to set LC_TYPE to a different value than LANG. However, based on experiment it seems that the only locale setting in /etc/sysconfig/i18n that CentOS-6.3 responds to is LANG. I have looked at /etc/profile.d/lang.sh but my knowledge of terminal settings and system variables is insufficient to make much sense out of it. if [ -n "$LANG" ]; then saved_lang="$LANG" [ -f "$HOME/.i18n" ] && . "$HOME/.i18n" && sourced=1 LANG="$saved_lang" unset saved_lang else for langfile in /etc/sysconfig/i18n "$HOME/.i18n" ; do [ -f $langfile ] && . $langfile && sourced=1 done fi If I am not entirely mistaken, this code checks to see if $LANG is set and saves it. Presumably this is to preserve $LANG from being overridden by the contents of ~/.i18n but it does not even seem to check /etc/sysconfig/i18n in that case. One might infer from this treatment that this is because lang.sh expects that if $LANG is set then /etc/sysconfig/i18n has already been processed. Assuming that /etc/sysconfig/i18n is found then it processes the following statement: if [ "$sourced" = 1 ]; then [ -n "$LANG" ] && export LANG || unset LANG . . . [ -n "$LC_CTYPE" ] && export LC_CTYPE || unset LC_CTYPE . . . Checking in ~/.bashrc I see this: . . . # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi And checking /etc/bashrc I see this: . . . # Only display echos from profile.d scripts if we are no login shell # and interactive - otherwise just process them to set envvars for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do if [ -r "$i" ]; then if [ "$PS1" ]; then . "$i" else . "$i" >/dev/null 2>&1 fi fi done unset i unset pathmunge fi However, when I look for the mate to that final 'fi' I find this: . . . if ! shopt -q login_shell ; then # We're not a login shell # Need to redefine pathmunge, it get's undefined at the end of /etc/profile pathmunge () . . . Evidently /etc/profile.d/lang.sh only gets processed by /etc/bashrc if I am NOT in a login shell. The question then is: when does /etc/profile.d/lang.sh get processed? Well, numerous places it seems: /etc/csh.login /etc/profile /etc/rc.d/init.d/rpcbind /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K95firstboot /etc/rc.d/rc /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common Yet, despite all these calls to /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, whenever I open a new session in gnome-terminal LC_LANG is never set but $LANG is. If However, I do . /etc/profile.d/lang.sh in that window session, then LC_TYPE becomes set as I desire. Either something is setting LANG and ignoring LC_TYPE in /etc/sysconfig/i18n before lang.sh or something is unsetting everything other than $LANG after lang.sh is processed.

Serial console
by Tracy Reed 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

I am trying to get a CentOS 6.3 serial console to work with IPMI SOL. I think I have everything working but maybe the wrong baud rate on the getty: $ ipmitool -I lanplus -U root -H 10.0.0.14 sol activate Password: [SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help] �� 10.0.0.14 is the DRAC IP address of the CentOS 6.3 box. It accepts the password and connects me to the console but then when I type I get those funny characters. Somehow an agetty is already being run: root 46110 1 0 16:13 ttyS1 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS1 19200 vt100-nav Is udev starting this up for me somehow? It says 19200 when everything I have read says it should be 115200. How do I change this? Some docs say I should create my own /etc/init/serial-ttyS1.conf containing: # For IPMI serial console # ttyS1 - agetty # # This service maintains a agetty on ttyS1. stop on runlevel [S016] start on runlevel [23] respawn exec agetty -h -L -w /dev/ttyS1 115200 vt102 but when I do that I end up with two gettys, presumably fighting over the serial port, and the original is apparently holding onto it because I still can't connect and get a login prompt. # ps -ef |grep agetty root 46110 1 0 16:13 ttyS1 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS1 19200 vt100-nav root 46118 1 0 16:13 ? 00:00:00 agetty -h -L -w /dev/ttyS1 115200 vt102 What is the right way to set this up?

This is not true if source and dest are local: then the rsync algo is not used, and if the mod time is changed on the source the whole file will be copied. so if you're rsyncing locally, eg to a usb drive, you need --size-only as I said. Now if one of the source or dest is remote I agree with you, but this is not alwayss the case. I don't recall whether the OP expressed whether that was the case or not, though I think he mentioned wanting to backup family pictures, so it might very well be to a usb HD. Inany case I definitely know you mentioned testing things locally. Which I did, and you didn't... being wrong is ok, but you should really work on that attitude of yours.

Sluggish server with big array
by Guy Boisvert 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi! I am experiencing strange behavior with my new CentOS 6.3 installation (system up to date). I have a big 11 TB EXT4 array mounted on /home/data. The server is a Tyan 2U (TA26-B3992-E) with Dual Opteron 2216, one cpu has 4 Gigs RAM and the other has 8 Gigs (so 12 Gigs total). The server uses 8 x Seagate 2TB SAS hard disks (7200 RPM) and all the disks are grouped together to form 1 x 500 Gigs RAID 6 array (for CentOS) and 1 x 11 TB RAID 6 for data storage (mounted on /home/data). The controller is a LSI SAS 9265-8i: [root@radium ~]# lspci 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] PCI/PCI-X Bridge 00:02.0 Host bridge: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] Legacy South Bridge 00:02.1 IDE interface: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] IDE 00:02.2 ISA bridge: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] LPC 00:03.0 USB controller: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] USB (rev 01) 00:03.1 USB controller: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] USB (rev 01) 00:03.2 USB controller: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] USB (rev 01) 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 10) 00:06.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5780 [HT2000] PCI-X bridge (rev b0) 00:07.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5780 [HT2000] PCI-X bridge (rev b0) 00:08.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5780 [HT2000] PCI-Express Bridge (rev b0) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5780 [HT2000] PCI-Express Bridge (rev b0) 00:0a.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5780 [HT2000] PCI-Express Bridge (rev b0) 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5780 [HT2000] PCI-Express Bridge (rev b0) 00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI ES1000 (rev 02) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 00:19.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:19.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:19.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:19.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:0d.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] PCI/PCI-X Bridge (rev c0) 04:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5780 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) 04:04.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5780 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) 05:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] (rev 01) I have KVM/QEMU running 3 VMs: 2 stored in the 500 gigs array and one on the 11 TB array.

See man rsync: Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a “quick check” algorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time. and yes I've tested this before posting ;-) to avoid this you need to use --size-only .

Large yum update
by E.B. 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Hi, On about 8am GMT Jan 18, my server reported an unusually large number of yum updates available. I think this is due to the release of CentOS 5.9: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.centos.announce/7203 However, I just wanted to be a little paranoid, since this is unusual for my normal yum update reports (over 100 updates compared to a couple a week). Can someone confirm my suspicion, or is it possible I have a security issue on my hands? Thank you!!!!

Anyone got any clues? I'm running 6.3, t-bird 10.0.12, and KDE. I get emails with .docx attachment, and t-bird has no idea what to do with them (and doesn't even offer me a choice)."Change your preferences... So I open the source of the email, and at the beginning of the doc I see Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document; In system settings->advanced->file associations, I see the applications/vnd... is set for libreoffice. T-bird is still clueless. mark
