video capture
by Mark LaPierre 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hey all, I'm looking for a application that I can use to capture video from a USB web camera. I have Cheese Webcam Booth 2.28.1 installed but it leaves a lot to be desired in the video capture field. Things like actually working. It does an adequate job of snagging a batch of single images in burst mode. Any suggestions? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

CentOS 6.3 as Firewall/Router
by Tim Evans 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I'm replacing an ancient Solaris 'ipf' firewall/router with a brand new CentOS 6.3 system. In the olden days, I successfully used the attached iptables script (as /etc/rc.local) on Red Hat 5.x systems, but this doesn't seem to be quite working on the new system. Specifically, while it seems to be routing ok, you cannot connect to anything on the inside net (e.g., with ssh or a browser) and cannot connect to the system with ssh or anything else from elsewhere on the inside net. Yet arp shows this system active. Is there obsolete stuff here, and/or anything missing that would cause this? Thanks. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court UNIX System Admin Consulting | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ | tkevans(a)tkevans.com

rsync and selinux
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

I'm trying to use rysnc to back up some directories on a CentOS6 machine that uses selinux in enforcing mode. Most files didn't transfer, so I tried the example from rsync_selinux(8): Allow rsync servers to read the /var/rsync directory by adding the pub- lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file type. semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/rsync(/.*)?" restorecon -F -R -v /var/rsync except I substituted /etc for /var/rsync. Big mistake. Most or all services with config files under /etc could no longer read their config files, including ssh. It looks like the selinux type was substituted rather than added? Thankfully, I was able to recover. What is the correct way to give rsync full access to everything under selinux?

CentOS 5.7 eth0, eth1 and arpwatch flip flops
by Gavin Henry 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Dear all, Has anyone experienced this whilst running DRBD over eth1 between two CentOS 5.7 servers? eth1 is a private IP address, unroutable. eth0 is the public address. CentOS will reply sometimes once every 3 days or every 14mins~ saying "My public IP is on eth1" to arp requests when it's not, it's eth0. This freezes traffic and causes issues. We've looked at arp* /etc/sysctl.conf etc. and arptables, but wondered if anyone had a recipe? We have this already which didn't help as it happened Christmas Eve too as we kept eth1 up for a few days to test: # For the dual interface - 06.12.12 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_ignore = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth1.arp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth1.arp_ignore = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1 eth0 and eth1 are on the same VLAN/broadcast domain, but eth1 is a 169.xx and eth0 is a routable public IP. We're having to shut eth1 down and bring it up for sync at night. Thanks, Gavin.

High Availability questions
by Steve Campbell 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I'm trying to set up a small cluster using the High Availability and High Availability Management groups. I'd like to run this on 3 different machines, one being a "management" machine and the other two being the actual cluster. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate. I can set the cluster nodes up just fine, working from the management server. As soon as I try adding an "IP address" to the cluster, everything goes south. I can no longer use luci on any of the three machines. I can start luci on any of the 3 servers, but the cluster doesn't show any more. If I try and recreate the cluster, it indicates the cluster already exists. I can't find anything in the logs other than a bunch of python errors similar to perl errors, and those don't really seem to be indicative of hard errors. I've got this scheme running successfully on 3 virtual machines on a single host, and that seems to work just fine. Real servers are beating me up. Any suggestions, please? steve campbell

rup on CentOS6
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I just noticed an interesting behaviour of rup on CentOS5/6: run without any host args, it never prints results for CentOS6 machines. However, if a CentOS6 machine is queried directly, there is a result. It doesnt't matter whether the querying host runs CentOS5 or CentOS6. # rup |grep centos6host # rup centos6host centos6host up 12 days, 19:33, load average: 0.22 0.18 0.11 # With tcpdump, I can see that no rpc requests are issued to the host in the first case. Is there an explanation?

Openssh connection closes from time to time. why?
by Eliezer Croitoru 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hey there, I just replaced long lived Gentoo to a Centos 6.3 on 2 servers. Since the move I had troubles with ssh open sessions. I am connecting from a windows machine via putty and then all of a sudden it saying something about connection closing. The OpenSSH version is: openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64.rpm I tired to configure: tcp_keep_alive TCPKeepAlive yes ClientAliveInterval 240 ClientAliveCountMax 50 Each one of them or all together seems to not solve the problem. It's not iptables issue since it was stopped and disabled. If someone have an idea of what can be done or checked I will be happy to hear about it. For now I have created a custom OpenSSH-6.1p1 RPM just in case it will might help. Both server has the same issue while another Fedora machine runs by which doesn't have the same issues. They are both connected to the same switch and seems to be fine. Thanks, Eliezer

Wysiwyg html editor for note taking
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I am looking for a wsyiwyg html editor for note taking as I build up a system to note what I am doing. I typically just use gedit, but this system's notes are getting complex, and using code tabs, lists, and the like would make it more enduring. I am looking at lonote on my F17 notebook, but I would like to do the note taking directly on the Centos system. Just basic html. Image inclusions if I do screen captures would be nice too.

I edit Internet Draft XML in gedit, the run the xml2rfc cruft to get my ID. This is just an 'experiment' of sorts. Also I am looking for what I will give my son to learn from; let the wysiwig cut some html, now study it. Though for various reasons, he may be stuck on Win7 for a while, so Bluefish is of real interest (just not wysiwig). I am still undecided what I will do. And in the end, I may drop it just to get all my work done and at least have that text file that has all that I really did.

How do I list avahi advertisements
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

how do I find out what avahi services my server is advertising? I installed avahi-tools and tried avahi-browse -a (and -ac) and nothing was listed. I find it hard to believe that my system that has apache up and running is not advertising anything?

kickstart and localhost.crt generation
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

How can I control the content of /etc/pki/tls/cert/localhost.crt? Are there kickstart options or do I have to regernate the cert in %post with openssl? I discovered this issue while troubleshooting an apache DN problem. I changed my system name after install, but the 'normal' functions that change the name for the host and networking do not gen up a new cert! So I have been getting error messages every time apache starts.

Live CD iso
by James Freer 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Hi folks I'm just about to start using Centos again. I used it briefly a couple of years ago but found the switch to rpm a bit much after using deb for 5 years. Now there seem to be a lot of changes on the deb front so i'm going to try again with rpm. I noticed that there is now a live CD (as well as the DVD) instead of the six CDs that i used before (iirc). I would just be grateful if someone could confirm that... i've been an xfce user so i was thinking that i've either got to go back to gnome and load the xfce desktop or use the DVD (and install xfce straight). thanks james

Ethernet puzzle
by Ashley M. Kirchner 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

So I just finished doing a fresh install of CentOS 6.3. The machine has three ethernet ports in it: one on the motherboard (VIA Rhine), and two add-on cards, an Intel Pro100 and an old SMC1255TX. When CentOS comes up, this is what I see in the dmesg output: # dmesg | grep eth e100 0000:00:08.0: eth0: addr 0xf6043000, irq 16, MAC addr 00:02:b3:be:02:87 eth1: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at MMIO 0xf6040000, 00:4c:69:6e:75:79, IRQ 17. udev: renamed network interface eth0 to rename2 udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth3 udev: renamed network interface rename2 to eth1 eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0xf6042000, 00:16:17:17:22:8e, IRQ 23. eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1. eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 eth0: no IPv6 routers present So, according to the musical playing going on there, the result is: eth0: VIA Rhine eth1: IntelPro 100 (originally comes up as eth0 but gets renamed eth1) eth3: SMC1255TX (originally comes up as eth1 but gets renamed eth3) Here's my issue: In udev rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules I see: # PCI device 0x1113:0x1216 (tulip) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:4c:68:6e:ff:ff", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" # PCI device 0x8086:0x1229 (e100) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:02:b3:be:02:87", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" # PCI device 0x1106:0x3065 (via-rhine) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:17:17:22:8e", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" # PCI device 0x1113:0x1216 (tulip) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:4c:69:6e:75:79", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" Question is, where did the first tulip interface come from? That's not any of the interfaces on the machine, it doesn't match the MAC address of any of the interfaces, so where'd it come from? Furthermore, when I look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2, the HWADDR there is the same as the first interface listed above. But again, it's not in dmesg's output. As far as I can tell, it's a ghost interface ... What gives, and how can I get rid of it so that the proper interface gets the eth2 spot? A

Help Getting Postfix relaying via Gmail
by Clint Dilks 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hi, I am trying to get a CentOS 6 system relaying mail via my G-Mail account. I followed the instructions found at https://www.zulius.com/how-to/set-up-postfix-with-a-remote-smtp-relay-host/… there seems to be a problem with authentication. I have done some research but still can't get this working. Any suggestions ? It seems the user and password are correct.

Excluding file systems from autorelabel
by James A. Peltier 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I'm trying to find a way to exclude file systems during the autorelabel process. I have a file system (/exports) that has tens of millions of files on it and I *know* I don't want it relabeled. I've tried semanage fcontext -a -t "<<none>>" "/exports(/.*)?" and it seems to insist on relabeling that file system. I also tried to see if there was a /.autorelabel_exclude option as I saw some patches but can't seem to find indication of them anywhere (perhaps I missed it). I really need to make sure that I can exclude these massive directories if at all possible. Any help? -- James A.

I have been reading steadily since I started on this a month ago. Just, it seems not dealing with the actual setup requirements. So far, I will start with limiting web access to local systems only. Remote systems will have to VPN in. This is only a start, I know there is more to do. If it was not for a couple users, I would not provide a webmail interface even with them having to VPN in.

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard respecting CentOS
by James B. Byrne 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I am investigating using rpm to package one of our in house applications. This software started life as a sub-system within a Ruby-on-Rails application but has now been extracted into its own standalone package, none of which has any httpd access. The local package under consideration will run as a set of cron jobs under a designated userid. There will be no user interaction. A remote database server will be updated but no data files will remain on the installation host once they are processed. I have read the subject document a couple of times and I am wondering what people here with experience in these matters actually do. The FHS suggests to me that projects of the sort I am dealing with belong entirely within the /opt/package_name/ tree with variable data stowed in /var/opt/package_name or possibly /var/spool/package_name. However, I have not yet found any application packages for CentOS-6 that actually do this. I find some that go into /usr/package_name, some into /usr/lib/package_name, many that install into /usr/libexec and none that install into /usr/local, which I gather is reserved for packaged built on the system rather than installed via rpm. So, what is the actual practice with respect to packaging via rpm? Where do things go? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Or perhaps this is where RoundCube is expecting it? This file is at its default content. It is timestamped Jul 3. And /etc/localtime is a binary file. A little digging and it SEEMS that files are copied to /etc/localtime from /usr/share/zonetime ? But I can't figure out what RoundCube is doing. Probably will have to go and join that list...

Where is timezone string stored?

I am having problems with RoundCube: 'Your session is invalid or expired' So I went looking for logs and in /var/log/roundcube/errors I find LOTS of warnings about problems with my timezone. Kind of a challenge to copy the log entries over here (will do if needed). Anyway, for right now I am looking as to where my 'Detroit American/New_York' (what I am seeing in Gnomes calendar preferences) string is stored. Roundcube seems to want 'America/New_York'? Shouldn't I be seeing 'America/Detroit' when I look at the calendar selection in Gnome?

Centos Account Email Issue
by Scott Adams 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Hello, I am having an issue with email on all IP-based site/accounts that I set up on CENTOS 6.3 x86_64 standard WHM 11.34.1 (build 5). On the server's main IP address domain account/site, both sending and receiving email works just fine, however, on all IP-based accounts/sites I create the email users can send email but not receive it, and dnsstuff.com shows: All connections to Mailservers port 25 have failed. The standard port for SMTP transactions is 25, so your servers should be operating on that port. It is recommended that it be fixed in order for your mail service to operate properly. The Mail Servers that failed are: 198.24.145.122 | failed message send with: messaging failure: Time out occurred or Remote server closed connection prematurely I have tried multiple solutions but haven't been able to get email working properly. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Experience with postfixadmin with mysql?
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

My first time with this. I got postfix, mysql, and postfixadmin setup, generally following http://www.campworld.net/thewiki/pmwiki.php/LinuxServersCentOS/Cent6VirtMai… I used postfixadmin to create my domain then added my first user and got an error: Send Welcome mail: yes Unable to send email! The mailbox has been added to the mailbox table, but none (or only some) of the predefined sub-folders could be created (faxit(a)test.htt-consult.com) There is nothing under /home/vmail (in postfix/main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail) Advise on where to start troubleshooting? Perhaps a password or permissions not right?

Question: How to utilize multi-core CPUs

24 Dec '12

I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a quad-four box. The model only indicated dual core but CentOS is telling me there are four. This is the first multi-core Linux installation I've had. What is the best way to utilize the multi-core CPUs? I'd like to distribute the load but I'm unsure how to do that. mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

selinux - centos 6.3 - mail
by Gregory P. Ennis 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Everyone, I recently had a disc drive failure on a centos 5.8 internal mail server. I replaced the drive and installed centos 6.3. I had selinux turned off on the 5.8 machine, and with the upgrade to 6.3 decided to leave selinux active with the hopes I had learned enough to be able to use it. I have a couple of perl scripts that are activated by email that prints the contents of the mail packet on a printer. I have been able to fix the temporary directories that are used with changes of selinux permissions, but I have not been able to make everything work with the command : $arg = ("lp -o raw -d $LPT $MAILFILEO"); system($arg); I get the following log entry : Can't exec "lp": Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/s.printer.process line 190, <FILEI> line 19. Any ideas how I can get 'lp' to accept usage from the 'mail' user account? Everything works ok when selinux is turned off. I would like to keep it on at this point. Thanks, Greg Ennis

posfconf debugger_command does not work. This is a 'known' problem with 2.6 and fixed in postfix 2.9. This is tied into the large code rewrite in 2.9, and thus cannot be patched in 2.6. You can see my thread on this over on the postfix list. There was a comment how those running 4 year old code can look forward to the new troubleshooting and support features in 2.10...

Waiting for CentOS to thaw....
by Vlad K. 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Hello list, I've put CentOS 6.3 x86_64 on my desktop, replacing Fedora 17 x86_64. This is the first time I'm using CentOS on a desktop, so far only on the servers. The problem is with thawing from hibernation. Time from turning on the hibernated machine to reaching the login prompt is not that of an issue, although sometimes it can take a while (significantly more than with Fedora). The problem is after I log in. It appears that none of the running programs will have thawed until I click their tabs in the taskbar, when the disk crunching begin and the program is unresponsive for up to a minute or two until it loads up from disk I guess, regardless of how much I wait between login and clicking a tab int taskbar. The biggest problem is with Firefox. I keep several tabs open and it takes literally minutes for it to become responsive. Even the terminal takes several seconds. During that time the window does not render except it's title bar and outer border. This is on the very same hardware (btw, it's AMD Phenom II X2, 4GB of RAM) where Fedora was running just a few weeks ago. Help? -- .oO V Oo.

NFSv4 on CentOS 5.5
by Tim Gustafson 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Hi, What is the magic juju that I have to put in /etc/sysconfig/autofs to get autofs to default to using NFSv4, rather than NFSv3, for mounting file systems? I don't want to place these flags into the automount maps themselves because we have a varied network with Sun, CentOS, RedHat and Macintosh systems, and the flags that have to get added to automount maps (which we distribute centrally through LDAP) are different for each OS. So, I'd prefer to specify the local machine options in /etc/sysconfig/autofs rather than in the global automount map.

Virtual Machine Manager Centos 6
by Theo Band 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

I upgrade to CentOS6 from 5. The new (well, for me at least) virt-manager is much changed with respect to the one in 5. I miss cpu usage percentage and memory usage (both in percentage and the absolute amount). Is there a way the get this information quickly in an overview? I just want to have an idea of how much memory is consumed by the virtual machines and if there is enough free for a new machine. This information and the cpu info I need to decide if a machine should be migrated to another host. When I used Xen in the past, it was easy. xm list just showed a column with memory. Then I went over to KVM and could only use virsh list. Or virsh dominfo, but that is per virtual host. So since then simply started virt-manager. Theo

An ipmitool question
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

We have some new blades, and last night we got a bunch of messages about CPU temp exceeding threshold, throttling CPU. Running ipmitool sel shows nothing. ipmitool sdr list shows me current values, nothing special. First question: why would high temps not show up in the SEL? Second: among the things I see list are <...> 10-VR P1 | 56 degrees C | ok 11-VR P2 | 46 degrees C | ok <...> Does anyone know what the numbers mean, if anything, and what VR means? mark
