find errors in a directory of files
by Tim Dunphy 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

hello list, I'm trying to write a script that will search through a directory of trace logs for an oracle database. From what I understand new files are always being created in the directory and it's not possible to know the exact names of the files before they are created. The purpose of this is to create service checks in nagios. Because you don't know the names of the files ahead of time traditional plugins like check_logs or check_logfiles.plwon't work. Here's what I was able to come up with: #!/bin/bash log1='/u01/app/oracle/admin/ecom/udump/*' crit1=($(grep 'ORA-00600' $log1)) crit2=($(grep 'ORA-04031' $log1)) crit3=($(grep 'ORA-07445' $log1)) if [ $crit1 ] ; then echo "$crit1 on ecom1" status=2 elif [ $crit2 ]; then echo "$crit2 on ecom1" status=2 elif [ $crit3 ]; then echo "$crit3 on ecom1" status=2 fi echo $status exit $status This is a very early version of the scripts, so as you can see I'm echoing a test message at the end letting you know the exit status. The problem with this script is that it is only able to detect one error in the logs. If you echo more than one test phrase into a log file or into multiple log files it still only picks up one error message. I was just wondering if anyone on the list might have a suggestion on how best to accomplish this task? Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

SSL Library Error: -8181 Certificate has expired
by Rob Kampen 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi List Just had one of my servers fail serving web pages and apache produced a log file of nearly 1,000,000 lines and 130Mb in about 18 hours with the following: "SSL Library Error: -8181 Certificate has expired Unable to verify certificate 'Server-Cert'. Add "NSSEnforceValidCerts off" to nss.conf so the server can start until the problem can be resolved." repeated any where from 4 to 20 times per second until I stopped the server. Anyone know why this kind of thing occurs - surely logging this once is enough?? If it is such a critical thing, then why no warning in the log files that it is about to expire?? - all in all a bit of a surprise. The suggested remedy does work and I will get a new certificate issued and installed in due course. Google does not show me anything that helps in regards to my questions. Has anyone else seen and solved this in an elegant manner? TIA Rob

bonding and ifcfg config
by Götz Reinicke 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi, I'd like to bond two existing interfaces and checked the RH EL 6.3 [1] doc. Comparing the current settings of e.g. eth0 to the example config in the docs I wonder what options I still have to use/copy and which I can drop. e.g. what should happen to my RH 6.3 eth0 settings not in the docs? DNS1="............" GATEWAY="........." HWADDR=".........." NM_CONTROLLED="..." TYPE="............" UUID="............" Thanks for any suggestion and best regards .

Configure LAGG Interface?
by Tim Nelson 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Greetings- I'd like to configure multiple copper NICs on a server running CentOS 6.2 in a LAGG configuration for better throughput to the core switch. After quite a bit of searching, I'm not seeing anything of the sort. Is LAGG specific to the BSD world and the HP switches I'm running? Or, does it go by a different name? Bonding perhaps? If so, is bonding compatible with LAGG? --Tim

Urgent help on replacing /var
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

In a moment of epic stupidity, having ran out of space on the root partition of a server due to /var chewing up the space, I added a separate drive for the purpose of mounting it as /var To do so, I mounted the new drive as /var2, cp -R (in hindsight should had rsync to preserve attributes), deleted the original /var to free up space, edited fstab and rebooted... unsurprisingly to a fubar'd server. The thing is it still boots, I can get into single user mode but a full init get stuck at starting the syslogger. What is the best way to rescue the server now from my own stupidity and keeping all the existing configuration and data?

samba3x PDC and Win XP
by Paul R. Ganci 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

I am at my wits end on this one. Ever since I upgraded to samba3x (present version 3.5.10-0.110.el5_8) in preparation for adding a Win 7 client, my WinXP client can no longer find their roaming profiles nor can they assign their home shares to a drive at login. Logins and authentication work just fine and I can see the home and profile shares from the Win XP client after login. My smb.conf file contains (here are some essential snippets): # the login script name depends on the machine name ; logon script = %m.bat # the login script name depends on the unix user used ; logon script = %u.bat logon script = logon.bat # disables profiles support by specifing an empty path ; logon path = logon path = \\%L\profile\%u\%m logon home = \\%L\%u logon drive = H: [homes] path = /mnt/home/%u comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S guest ok = no inherit permissions = yes [profile] path = /mnt/home/profile browseable = no writeable = yes default case = lower preserve case = no short preserve case = no case sensitive = no hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ write list = @smbusers @smbadmins create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 csc policy = disable profile acls = yes I enabled debuging and from what I can tell the %u variable is not getting properly evaluated. For example for the homes share: [2012/08/01 00:28:19.471215, 3] smbd/password.c:282(register_existing_vuid) register_existing_vuid: User name: snichols Real name: [2012/08/01 00:28:19.471240, 3] smbd/password.c:292(register_existing_vuid) register_existing_vuid: UNIX uid 501 is UNIX user snichols, and will be vuid 102 [2012/08/01 00:28:19.472336, 3] smbd/password.c:223(register_homes_share) Adding homes service for user 'snichols' using home directory: '/mnt/home/snichols' [2012/08/01 00:28:19.472475, 3] param/loadparm.c:6287(lp_add_home) adding home's share [snichols] for user 'snichols' at '/mnt/home/%u' Or for the profile service: 2012/08/01 00:28:19.488457, 1] smbd/service.c:1070(make_connection_snum) sasha (192.168.1.13) connect to service profile initially as user snichols (uid=501, gid=501) (pid 25876 2012/08/01 00:28:19.489251, 3] smbd/trans2.c:5100(call_trans2qfilepathinfo) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: TRANSACT2_QPATHINFO: level = 1004 [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489364, 3] smbd/filename.c:945(get_real_filename_full_scan) scan dir didn't open dir [%u] [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489399, 3] smbd/vfs.c:881(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name [%u/sasha] [/mnt/home/profile] [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489437, 3] smbd/vfs.c:962(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name: couldn't get realpath for %u/sasha [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489463, 3] smbd/filename.c:1184(filename_convert) filename_convert: check_name failed for name %u/sasha with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489495, 3] smbd/error.c:80(error_packet_set) error packet at smbd/trans2.c(5129) cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED The samba/linux user that successfully logged in is snichols. Does anybody have a clue as to why %u is not evaluating to the linux username snichols and is getting treated simply as the string %u?

Samba - Allow writing of files, but not creation of new folders?!?
by Tim Nelson 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Greetings- Sorry for the slightly OT post, although this does concern implementation on a CentOS 5 or 6 server. :) Long story short, is it possible to configure Samba such that specific users are able to have 'normal' read/write access on a share, but not the ability to create new *folders*? I researched this in the past, and I seem to remember something related to ACLs or similar, but I'm not finding it now and my attempts at finding info via the Samba direct resources are coming up dry. Any thoughts? --Tim

Virtual appliance - initial setup
by Deyan Stoykov 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Dear everyone, I'm creating a virtual appliance based on CentOS 6.3 that will be packaged as OVF. Is anyone aware of an existing solution for post-deployment configuration (hostname, network settings and root password as a minimum) other than editing config files by hand - I'd like the process to be more user friendly than that if possible. Ideally it should be hypervisor-independent. It seems that anaconda can only be used during initial setup.

by Emmanuel Noobadmin 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

In brief: Is there is anyway to trigger the same automount mechanism, that X appears to use, on unmounted USB drives that are already connected? Background: I've got a C6 server with default desktop GUI installed for the sake of the onsite admin. There is a bash script I wrote that runs every night checking for specific folders on any drive and dumps data into it. To ensure fs integrity, I do an unmount in the script when it's done in case anybody simply yanks the drive out without doing the proper process. Now due to that, I would need to remount the drive when the script runs if it wasn't unplugged and replugged to trigger the automount. Problem is, it is not certain that the same drive will be used so I cannot simply hard code a line that just do a mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sde1 /media/backup. I cannot assume it would always be say /dev/sde1 or /dev/sdf2 as that depends on how many drives are connected before that and how was that particular drive partitioned. The inbuilt auto mount mechanism also appears to use different mountpoints for different USB drives (based on drive label?) and so the best way for me is to force all USB drives to be remounted, and scan through the /media folder as that is where the automount mounts the partitions. I could try to mount all drives found in /proc/partitions but that seems very dangerous since the list includes md partitions and array members. So the question is whether there is anyway to trigger the same automount mechanism, that X appears to use, on any unmounted USB drives? Trying resources I found online, It doesn't seem to be autofs or gnome-mount mechanism as neither of these are installed on the server. Both automount and gnome-mount command not found.

kernel-debuginfo
by Tair Sabirgaliev 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi! I'm trying systemtap on CentOS 6.2 kernel-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64. My problem is that I can't find kernel-debuginfo... corresponding to my kernel version. The systemtap docs suggest rebuilding the kernel from sources, but it looks like I will have to install my own kernel, which is not acceptable on the production machine. Where can I find the debuginfo for the latest CentOS kernel? Thanks! -- Tair Sabirgaliev "BEE Software" Ltd.

kmod-nvidia?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

I just went to install kmod-nvidia on a 64-bit CentOS 6.2 system... and enabling elrepo, yum can't find it. There's a page for it, but that was last updated last year, and there are also references to packages for older Nvidia cards, but not the current. What do I not know? mark

CentOS 6.3 on ASUS G73S does not work external video
by Rob Kampen 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi List, just wondering which driver I need to be looking at / for that deals with the laptop's external video connector. Background - went to deliver a presentation last week and found that there was no way to get any video output to the external D-15 connector (hooked up to a video projector). Eventually I re-booted to windoze 7 and all worked just fine - major embarrassment after telling everyone how great Linux was. The laptop has a nvidia GTX 460M card and I use the el-repo kmod-nvidia-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 and nvidia-x11-drv-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 I do have compiz-0.8.2-24.el6.x86_64 and compiz-gnome-0.8.2-24.el6.x86_64 running but as these should not be dealing directly with the hardware am not thinking they should matter. Not sure where to start trouble shooting - I tried lots of different screen resolutions via the System > Preferences > Display but no joy getting any signal out to the external connector. This laptop does have an hdmi socket but I was not using that, I thought the good old fashioned D-15 video plug should "just work" (tm). The function key <Fn> <F8> did toggle the laptop screen off and on and varied the resolution of the laptop display but never any output on the external connector. I booted the laptop with the display not connected and then tried connecting it - no joy. Then rebooted with it connected and tried power on and off two times but never any signal on the external connector simply booting into w7 and it immediately worked Any ideas of what magic foo I need to get this working would be appreciated. TIA Rob

centos 4.9 + ip6tables
by Paul A 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi I have an old server running centos 4.9 and recently I added ipv6 connectivity to it, however I wanted to use iptables to restrict access like im doing over ipv4. I tried using yum to install ip6tables but that's not available on the repo. I'm trying to figure out what my options are, how do you guys recommend I go about installing ip6tables. I guess I could upgrade the server from 4.9 to 5.x but I heard this could cause issues with things already installed and I have never done an upgrade like this. This is a server running chroot bind compiled manually. My other option is to use an ACL on the router the server connects to but I really wanted to get ip6tables on there. Paul

SELinux : please explain ...
by Philippe Naudin 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello, This is somehow off-topic, since the problem appears on a modified CentOS-6.2 (turned into a xen-4.1 host) : I get SELinux errors, and I'm not able to understand them. From audit2why : type=AVC msg=audit(1343724164.898:298772): avc: denied { mac_admin } for pid=12399 comm="restore" capability=33 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability2 ... and from audit2allow : #============= unconfined_t ============== allow unconfined_t self:capability2 mac_admin; I don't know what triggers these records in /var/log/audit (everything seems to work). Running retorecon -rv / doesn't produce any error. Can someone tell me what is the mac_admin functionnality, and if it is safe to allow it ? If I understand correctly what I have found by googling around, it is not advised. Thanks, -- Philippe Naudin

I use tar and ttcp for an initial transfer: On the receiving end: ttcp -l5120 -r | tar xf - On the transmitter: tar cf - . | ttcp -l5120 -t name-of-receiver Note: The files are transmitted without encryption. I easily get 110 Mbytes/sec. on a gigabit connection. If you need encryption, and your transfer is CPU limited, you should investigate which cipher to use. In my case arcfour128 is the fastest, so I use: rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -c arcfour128' ... after the initial transfer with ttcp.

If you had a DB9 serial port I'd say you'll really want a null modem cable to interface with the device (but it doesn't) - hopefully you know or have the cable necessary to talk to it via the RJ-45 console. You may consider using CentOS 5 for the reason below. Does your appliance's CPU support PAE? Starting with CentOS 6, the i686 kernels have PAE enabled. If you need one without PAE you'll have to compile it yourself. Not a huge deal, but certainly not as simple. Your best bet in any instance (CentOS 5 or 6) is to build the OS on another piece of hardware or a VM and copy it over to your CF card. There are a few items you'll want to do to reduce writes to your CF card and tune it for the embedded hardware [0]. Hope this helps!

rsync question
by Smithies, Russell 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

I'm trying to rsync a 8TB data folder containing squillions of small files and it's taking forever (i.e. weeks) to get anywhere. I'm assuming the slow bit is check-summing everything with a single CPU (even though it's on a 12-core server ;-( ) Is it possible to do something simple like scp the whole dir in one go so they're duplicates in the first instance, then get rsync to just keep them in sync without an initial transfer? Or is there a better way? Thanx, Russell Smithies Infrastructure Technician T 03 489 9085 M 027 4734 600 E russell.smithies(a)agresearch.co.nz Invermay Agricultural Centre Puddle Alley, Private Bag 50034, Mosgiel 9053, New Zealand T +64 3 489 3809 F +64 3 489 3739 www.agresearch.co.nz<http://www.agresearch.co.nz/> ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from AgResearch Limited is intended only for the persons or entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Modifying a netinstall ISO image
by Alfred von Campe 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

I want to make a very minor change to the netinstall ISO image, namely adding a few parameters to the boot line to automatically kick off a kickstart installation. Here is my approach: mount -o loop CentOS-6.2-i386-netinstall.iso /mnt cp -pr /mnt /tmp cd /tmp/mnt vi isolinux/isolinux.cfg # Add some stuff to the default append line and reduce timeout mkisofs -o /tmp/CentOS-6.2-i386-netinstall-ks.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T . I got the mkisofs command line from http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s2-steps-make-cd.h… (I couldn't find anything similar in the CentOS/RHEL 6.X documentation). This appears to work just fine, but the resulting ISO image is about 20% bigger (194M vs. 162M) and has an extra TRANS.TBL file at the top level. Any ideas what is causing this? It's no big deal as I've got things working, but I'm curious nonetheless... Alfred

Hi all I would like to install CentOS on this: http://www.lannerinc.com/x86_Network_Appliances/FW-7520 - No VGA/DVI - Only a "console" port (the old 9600 baudrate one) - Boot on USB actived by default Would you know a tutorial helping on installing CentOS on this? I guess I have to - download the minimal iso, - 'dd'-copy it to a flash USB drive - setup some files to use the console instead of vga (which ones...?) My desktopo side, I already have minicom et al installed, just looking for. -- RMA.

4 GBit nic bonding new centos 6.3 system with cisco VSS switches - suggestions?
by Götz Reinicke 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I install a new 4 Port GBit Server with centos 6.3 and I'd like to use nic bonding. Searching for a good how to pinted to this page: http://www.how2centos.com/centos-6-channel-bonding/ My question: Is this the current, good way to bond the 4 ports? The other question: What should I set on the cisco switch for the Port-channel options? As far as I understand for performance and redundancy I will use LACP and balance-alb. The switches are 6500 VSS so they should act as "one physical device" as required by LACP. thanks for any suggestion and comments .

Is gnome-devel-docs supposed to work with devhelp?
by Frank Cox 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

I just installed gnome-devel-docs with the objective of having a local copy of the gnome hig-book and now that I have it installed I don't know how to use it. I had assumed that it would show up in devhelp but it doesn't. What I have is a bunch of XML files in /usr/share/gnome/help/hig-book/C, and when I try to view one with firefox it tells me "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. " What am I supposed to use to read the hig-book files? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

Does it mean that the SAS disk 0 is failing and has serious issues and needs to be replaced and also do i need to run health status test with different options/flags or switches. /usr/sbin/smartctl -d megaraid,0 -a /dev/sda smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST3300657SS Revision: ES65 User Capacity: 300,000,000,000 bytes [300 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes Logical Unit id: 0x5000c500477d63bb Serial number: 6SJ46RZB Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS Local Time is: Fri Jul 27 06:50:49 2012 IST Device supports SMART and is Enabled Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported SMART Health Status: FAILURE PREDICTION THRESHOLD EXCEEDED: ascq=0x5 [asc=5d, ascq=5] Current Drive Temperature: 33 C Drive Trip Temperature: 68 C Elements in grown defect list: 2048 Vendor (Seagate) cache information Blocks sent to initiator = 2518358542 Blocks received from initiator = 3507177513 Blocks read from cache and sent to initiator = 19620730 Number of read and write commands whose size <= segment size = 35772014 Number of read and write commands whose size > segment size = 103 Vendor (Seagate/Hitachi) factory information number of hours powered up = 3903.10 number of minutes until next internal SMART test = 32 Error counter log: Errors Corrected by Total Correction Gigabytes Total ECC rereads/ errors algorithm processed uncorrected fast | delayed rewrites corrected invocations [10^9 bytes] errors read: 7599922 9416 0 7609338 7609338 360.930 0 write: 0 0 0 0 0 1851.172 0 verify: 96309427 1108629 0 97418056 97419201 62032.969 3455 Non-medium error count: 3 SMART Self-test log Num Test Status segment LifeTime LBA_first_err [SK ASC ASQ] Description number (hours) # 1 Background long Completed 32 1 - [- - -] # 2 Background short Completed 32 1 - [- - -] Long (extended) Self Test duration: 3200 seconds [53.3 minutes] [root@~]# /usr/sbin/smartctl -d megaraid,1 -a /dev/sda smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST3300657SS Revision: ES65 User Capacity: 300,000,000,000 bytes [300 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes Logical Unit id: 0x5000c500477d49fb Serial number: 6SJ44JEH Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS Local Time is: Fri Jul 27 06:50:55 2012 IST Device supports SMART and is Enabled Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported SMART Health Status: OK Current Drive Temperature: 32 C Drive Trip Temperature: 68 C Elements in grown defect list: 0 Vendor (Seagate) cache information Blocks sent to initiator = 1288378070 Blocks received from initiator = 3519302272 Blocks read from cache and sent to initiator = 19977846 Number of read and write commands whose size <= segment size = 35969964 Number of read and write commands whose size > segment size = 102 Vendor (Seagate/Hitachi) factory information number of hours powered up = 3903.00 number of minutes until next internal SMART test = 32 Error counter log: Errors Corrected by Total Correction Gigabytes Total ECC rereads/ errors algorithm processed uncorrected fast | delayed rewrites corrected invocations [10^9 bytes] errors read: 16718097 0 0 16718097 16718097 352.119 0 write: 0 0 0 0 0 1810.643 0 verify: 197332427 0 0 197332427 197332427 5156.549 0 Non-medium error count: 0 SMART Self-test log Num Test Status segment LifeTime LBA_first_err [SK ASC ASQ] Description number (hours) # 1 Background long Completed 32 1 - [- - -] # 2 Background short Completed 32 1 - [- - -] Long (extended) Self Test duration: 3200 seconds [53.3 minutes] Regards Kaushal

su path hard coded?
by Stephen Harris 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Is there any way of changing the PATH that's set by 'su' to be specific to my needs? It looks like 'su' has the path's hard coded. % rpm -qf /bin/su coreutils-5.97-34.el5_8.1 % strings /bin/su | grep local.bin /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin I could kludge it with pam_env, I guess, but that may have more impact than just 'su' and I'd like to avoid side-effects. Thanks! -- rgds Stephen

problem with machine "freezing" for short periods
by Vanhorn, Mike 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

I have two HP dc7800 convertible minitowers that are exhibiting the following issue: every 5-10 minutes, they will "freeze" for about 30 seconds, and then pick right back up again. During the freeze, it seems that nothing at all happens on the system; the clock doesn't even advance (it just picks up again with the next second, and that 30-or-so seconds are lost). I've tried both CentOS 5.8 and 5.7, thinking it was a kernel incompatibility, but the problem happened with both versions. I have tried different hard drives, different memory, even swapped the entire machine, and the problem exists everywhere. I have tried adding "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line, as that was reported as being necessary back with 5.2 on these machines, but that made no difference (and shouldn't be necessary now, anyway, as I believe the issue has either been fixed or worked-around). I am stuck, and can't figure out where to even suspect the problem might actually be. There are no errors getting logged anywhere that I can find, probably because everything just "stops" temporarily, so there's nothing for the system to log. Does anyone have any idea where I could look to fix this? I think I am next going to go back to 5.2, where the pci=nommconf is necessary, because at least back that far it appears to have been working for other people. However, I really would like to have this running 5.8.

Who was the genius that decided that system-config-network-tui should NOT be part of the base CentOS 6.3 install ?? Not to mention it has insane deps like wifi firmware packages... not really if all you want to do is configure eth0 from the command line... FC

DNS lookup delay with centos & postfix
by Steve Lindemann 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

I'm a bit baffled by this and I'm looking for ideas... background: two DNS servers (ns1 & ns2)(64bit CentOS 5.8) one email server (64bit CentOS 5.8 & postfix 2.3.3) one nagios server (64bit CentOS 5.8 & nagios 3.3.1) situation: - all servers configured to use both DNS servers for lookups - ns1 server down for hardware problem - nagios alerts that smtp on email server taking longer than 2 seconds to respond - nagios alert for smtp on email server clears when ns1 returns to service - when I use dig from the email server command line there is no problem or delay when ns1 is offline. It worked without a hitch using ns2. Anyone have any ideas for why nagios would have trouble testing smtp on the email server when the primary dns goes offline? I'm not even sure where to look or who else would make sense to ask the question of on this one. I'd appreciate any insight anyone out there has on this. -- Steve

using ip address on bonded channels in a cluster
by Steve Campbell 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

I'm creating a firewall HA cluster. The proof of concept for the basic firewall cluster is OK. I can bring up the cluster, start the iptables firewall, and move all of this with no problem. I'm using Conga to do all of this configuration on Centos 6.3 servers. To extend the "HA" part of this, I'd like to use bonded channels instead of plain old NICs. The firewall uses the "IP address" service for the outside firewall IP addresses. Each server behind the firewall is NATted to one of these external IPs on the firewall's external interface. I'm not seeing how I can use bonded channels anywhere for these "IP address" services. Part of the problem is that Conga will "guess" at which interface to place the ip address service upon. In the case of bonded channels, I don't think Conga is even aware of the "bondx" interface, and Conga only uses interfaces like eth0, eth1, etc. I realize that the sysconfig network scripts will come into play here as well, but that's another problem for me to tackle. Does anyone have any experience with bonded channels and Conga? I could sure use some help with this. Thanks, steve campbell

wlan and macvtap?
by Darod Zyree 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Greetings, This is my fist time posting to a mailing list. For the past few days I have been trying to mimic my former windows workstation with a centos 6.3 workstation at work. I have gotten really far but am now facing an issue I cant seem to solve on my own. My former workstation had vmware for running my virtual machines. Most of the time I would run just two virtual machines, but sometimes more, and each virtual machine would have access to one of my hosts network interfaces. I have two, one connected by cable to the corporate lan and one wireless interface connected to an access point which gives me and my colleagues direct access to the internet. After having read some documentations I decided upon using "macvtap" in VEPA mode for my guest virtual machines. This, to me, seem to be the most clean solution without having to create bridges, this way when I start a virtual machine the macvtap interface is created automatically. Plus I have read that NetworkManager does not play nicely (yet) with bridge interfaces and the virtual machines are accessible from their connected network environments. This did not work at first because I had not yet put my physical network interface in to promiscuous mode. Was I wrong in expecting this to be done automatically? Since my macvtap interface requires this to work "properly"? After having set the corporate lan network interface, in to promiscuous mode my virtual machine received an IP address and all was well. However this did not work for my wlan interface after having done the same. It too was set in to promiscuous mode but the virtual machine is not receiving an ip address from the DHCP server, which is the access point. I changed the network settings on the virtual machine from DHCP to manual but that too did not work: no network communication. Does macvtap not work with wlan interfaces? Or am I doing something wrong. I am using centos 6.3, with kvm, libvirt and virt-manager, have not used any none standard repository for installation or updates. Regards, Darod Zyree

A "problem" is a crashing kernel or buggy drivers. My opinion after this experience is that it'd help for CentOS to include system-config-network-tui as part of the base install. That is my honest opinion about this experience. It'd have saved me from some minor annoyance, albeit an annoyance nonetheless. Just think the opposite: what would be the expense-damage of including it as part of the base install?. Would it: 1. Break the OS 2. Make things easier for people who end up in the same situation I did. 3. Affect the balance of the Universe. ;) Your choice. I think 2. FC
