Apache httpd-2.2.15 updates
by drsystems＠globalcerts.net 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hello, I am working on a CentOS Linux 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 system. I noticed that the system came with httpd-2.2.15-6 installed. After I run 'yum update' I get httpd-2.2.15-9. I did some research on the Internet, but can't find the following information: are most of the security fixes that appear in httpd-2.2.21 applied to the update on httpd-2.2.15-9? There was a security fix just last August, the CVE-2011-3192 on Range and DoS. I don't imagine that this is in the 2.2.15-9. Do you have plans to provide this patch in the repository so that 'yum update httpd*' would get this patch? Thank you in advance, Dirce Richards Systems Engineer, GlobalCerts

Unplugging DVI causes Disabling IRQ #11
by Scott Johnson 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I have some new PC hardware I'm using with the Intel H67 chipset. I created a bzImage I use for a PXE environment for a recovery mode, installing OS images, etc. The new mobo doesn't have a VGA port but instead DVI. Everytime I unplug the DVI cable it seems to cause "Disabling IRQ #11". After that the PC is basically unusable. The /proc/interrupts shows that hdd, usb, nic, RAID controller for some reason all share the same interrupt. What the heck? I tried booting with acpi=off and the bios doesn't seem to offer any IRQ/PnP options. Am I missing a specific driver in my bzImage for the H67 chipset or any ideas of what I could try next? It's been a sad day. bash-2.05b# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 15185951 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 4 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 7: 75 XT-PIC-XT ehci_hcd:usb2 8: 1 XT-PIC-XT rtc 11: 2090574 XT-PIC-XT ahci, ehci_hcd:usb1, eth0, rr172x I even see a similar error on a fresh CentOS 5.7 install: irq 169: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff800bdf66>] __report_bad_irq+0x30/0x7d [<ffffffff800be1a4>] note_interrupt+0x1f1/0x232 [<ffffffff800bd6a5>] __do_IRQ+0xfa/0x140 [<ffffffff8006d4c1>] do_IRQ+0xe9/0xf7 [<ffffffff8005d615>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff801a2220>] acpi_safe_halt+0x25/0x36 [<ffffffff801a2a88>] acpi_processor_idle_simple+0xe6/0x31c [<ffffffff801a29a2>] acpi_processor_idle_simple+0x0/0x31c [<ffffffff80048fe2>] cpu_idle+0x95/0xb8 [<ffffffff80078a9a>] start_secondary+0x479/0x488 handlers: [<ffffffff801fc748>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x55) Disabling IRQ #169 Thanks for any help. -ScottEJ

Yum metadata / CR problems
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hi, after the release of 6.1 I have to do a "yum clean all" on all my 6.0 machines in order to make yum work again. The reason is that the old CR directory on the mirrors is now empty and the new one isn't used until I actually upgrade the system to 6.1 (or at least the centos-release package). Isn't there a better way to handle this without breaking yum? I'm also not quite sure why the "yum clean all" is required. It has been a few days now since 6.1 has been released so shouldn't the cached metadata have been expired by now anyway or is there metadata that has unusually long caching times? Regards, Dennis

Let's go ahead and get this flame thread started now to save time. The CentOS team sucks ... it took XXXX days to do 6.1 ... it is going to take twice as long to get 6.2 My mom said CentOS blows. kbsingh is ugly. hughesjr is old and fat. OK ... that should do.

Using an MS Access database from CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
by Ron Young 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

@Work requires me to manipulate the MS Access database (mdb) file located on an XP box that is an integral part of a third party application that is central to the business. Does anyone have experience doing so? I have used odbtp in the recent past but it is extremely difficult to set up on the linux box as I learned when I recently upgraded from CentOS 4.x to 5.x. Is there another way to get read and write access to the mdb file from apache/php running from the linux box? A couple of hours of googling last night has resulted in finding very expensive odbc drivers for the linux box and nothing really foss except the odbc driver managers.

CentOS 6, yum-updatesd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron? I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and backup servers are extremely unlikely to break with an autoupdate, so this is of immediate interest. mark

CR repo - version issue
by Philip Manuel 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi We use mrepo to keep a local repository. I downloaded the CentOS6.1 iso and used that as the base. We also have the CR repo added. I was expecting this change to cause no issues but the following packages have version issues between the base 6.1 and the CR repo:- base version CR version dbus-libs-1.2.24-4.el6_0.x86_64 dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 libpng-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64 libpng-1.2.46-1.el6_1.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.2-39.el6.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.2-39.el6_1.1.x86_64 zlib-1.2.3-25.el6.x86_64 zlib-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6_1.2.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-119.el6.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 perl-libs-5.10.1-119.el6.x86_64 perl-libs-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 There maybe a few other packages but this causes an issue with yum as it doesn't handle the el6_ suffix differences. Is this the intended behaviour ? Thanks

max user processes - is /etc/security/limits.conf the best place to change?
by Alexander Farber 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hello centos-users, in CentOS 6.1 is /etc/security/limits.conf the best place to change the number of max user processes for a daemon process? (I'm asking because the ".../security/..." part of the path sounds a bit strange) Thank you Alex

Shutdown KVM guest not working
by James B. Byrne 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

I am in the middle of a rather confusing situation. At the moment I am unable to shutdown a KVM guest machine. Nor am I presently able to open a virt-manager session on the host. I am not exactly sure what has happened but the problem with the vm guest is that issuing a "virsh shutdown 1" from the root console has no effect. # virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------------- 1 vmguest01.... running # virsh shutdown 1 Doamin 1 is being shutdown wait 5 minutes # virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------------- 1 vmguest01.... running How do I get this stopped? I have another problem with virt-manager as well. But I will leave that for another message. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

dd disk will not boot - can't find /dev/root
by Joseph Spenner 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

OS= CentOS 5.4, 64bit. I've always had great luck using dd to copy entire disks, and booting on other systems. However, I'm having difficulty with a couple systems. I boot using an install DVD so the OS disk is quiet, and dd to my target disk: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k /dev/sdb is the blank disk. The disks are 2T. After a few hours the operation is complete. But when I try to boot the new disk on my other system, I get the following errors after the CentOS boot menu (it counts down to boot the default disk fine, then this error): (screen shot at http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/645/centosbooterror.jpg ) I've read posts regarding the /dev/root error, and they talk about rebuilding initrd. I've tried some of the fixes mentioned, but have had no success. All I can think of is slightly different hardware on the new system where I'm trying to boot, but I'm not sure what the difference could be. They're both 64bit SuperMicro systems. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear. Thanks!

Minimal Desktop in CentOS6 with kvm
by David McGuffey 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Trying to build a more secure version of a desktop with virtualization enabled. Goal is to perform most Internet surfing and on-line banking from a special-built and hardened Linux load. Have built a bunch of complete "Desktop" versions of CentOS 5.5, 5.6, and 6.0 with this capability. This is the first time I've tried to go smaller. And smaller it is...by about 900 packages. Built a CentOS 6 "Minimum Desktop" today. During the install I added virtualization. Virtualization works, but the guest OS can't communicate via the virtio interface. Anyone able to do this? Any tips on what might be missing in the load? Dave

MD5 is certainly broken, but would it be sufficient to go to sha1sum?

Group permission problems
by Michael Velez 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hello all, I'm having an issue with group permissions which I really find hard to understand why. I have created a group called smbusers which I am a part of by doing the following: # groupadd smbusers# usermod -G smbusers michael I then created a directory called foodir, owned by adm with group smbusers and give the following permissions to it: 770 I verify the permissions are correct and are accessible by members of its group, but I cannot access the directory. Everytime I try to cd into the directory, I get a permission denied error. It is a group issue because when I change the permission to 777, I do have access. Below is output I get from different commands: # groups michaelmichael: michael, smbusers # groupsmichael adm #iduid=500(michael) gid=500(michael) groups=4(adm), 500(michael) The /etc/group file shows I'm in the smbusers group but does not show I'm in the adm group (although I believe I added myself to the adm group when I installed the operating system). Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing and I am confused. Can anybody guide me to where I need to go? Thanks,Michael

Group permission problems [RESEND]
by Michael Velez 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hello all, Re-sending due to incorrect mapping of linefeeds from hotmail. I'm having an issue with group permissions. I have created a group called smbusers which I have added myself to, with the following commands: # groupadd smbusers # usermod -G smbusers michael I then create a directory called foodir, owned by adm with group smbusers. Permissions are correct (770) but I cannot access the directory. When I change permissions to 777, I can access. Below is output from various commands, run as user michael: $ groups michael michael: michael, smbusers $ groups michael adm $ id uid=500(michael) gid=500(michael) groups=4(adm), 500(michael) The /etc/group file shows I'm in the smbusers group but does not show I'm in the adm group (although I believed I added myself to the adm group when I installed CentOS). Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm confused. Can anybody guide me to where I need to go? Thanks, Michael

iSCSI best practices
by Alan McKay 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hey folks, I had some general questions and when reading through the list archives I came across an iSCSI discussion back in February where a couple of individuals were going back and forth about drafting up a "best practices" doc and putting it into a wiki. Did that ever happen? And if so, where is it? Now my questions : We are not using iSCIS yet at work but I see a few places where it would be useful e.g. a number of heavy-use NFS mounts (from my ZFS appliance) that I believe would be slightly more efficient if I converted them to iSCSI. I also want to introduce some virtual machines which I think would work out best if I created iSCSI drives for them back on my Oracle/Sun ZFS appliance. I mentioned iSCSI to the guy whose work I have taken over here so that he can concentrate on his real job, and when I mentioned that we should have a separate switch so that all iSCSI traffic is on it's own switch, he balked and said something like "it is a switched network, it should not matter". But that does not sit right with me - the little bit I've read about iSCSI in the past always stresses that you should have it on its own network. So 2 questions : - how important is it to have it on its own network? - is it OK to use an unmanaged switch (as long as it is Gigabit), or are there some features of a managed switch that are desirable/required with iSCSI? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

auto-creating a local yum cache?
by Alan McKay 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hey folks, I just did an update on a system that is taking the better part of a day ( 5.3 ---> 5.7 ) mainly due to file download times. And I have 4 or 5 more systems to do. I know I can create my own repository and then point them at it - but that is difficult here because rsync is blocked (ggrrrrrr...) Surely there must be a way to have yum on the first box automatically cache everything and then have the other boxes use the cache? Maybe if not directly, then with squid or something like that? Anyone happen to have done this before? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

yum - sqlite SIGSEVG
by Paul Heinlein 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I've got a CentOS 6.1 x86_64 VM running atop CentOS 6.1 x86_64 KVM host. The VM is in production, so any fix needs to be fairly non-intrusive. In the VM, yum consistently segfaults when reading non-base repositories. The problem appears to be related to the faulty creation of /var/cache/yum/x86_64/<<reponame>>/primary.xml.gz.sqlite The latest installment of this problem is related to the 6.1 cr repository, but it's happened with other non-base repos in the past. Steps to duplicate, fix, and re-duplicate the problem: 1. "yum clean all && yum update" will segfault. strace shows that the SIGSEGV is received while doing work in the cr repository. 2. Run "yum clean all && yum update" on a different CentOS machine that uses the exact same yum repositories. The copy /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/cr/primary.xml.gz.sqlite from the working machine to the broken one. 3. "yum update" on the broken machine works flawlessly! 4. "yum clean all && yum update" on the broken machine (which removes and tries to rebuild the .sqlite file) will segfault once again. The primary.xml.gz.sqlite file that gets created on the broken VM is quite a bit smaller than that on all my working machines. On the broken machine, it looks like PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; CREATE TABLE db_info [...]; CREATE TABLE packages [...]; # several more CREATE TABLE commands CREATE TRIGGER removals [...]; COMMIT; On all my working machines, it looks like PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; CREATE TABLE db_info [...]; INSERT INTO "db_info" [...]; CREATE TABLE packages [...]; # several more CREATE TABLE commands CREATE TRIGGER removals [...]; CREATE INDEX packagename [...]; # several more CREATE INDEX commands COMMIT; The working machine all do an INSERT into db_info and create several indexes; the broken machine does not. Otherwise, the sql statements are identical. On the broken machine, I've done yum reinstall sqlite yum reinstall python yum reinstall yum\* But the outcome is the same. The problem is limited to this VM. Other VMs on the same host have no such difficulties. Anyone have a clue? -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein(a)madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/

NetworkManager turned off yet clobbered yp.conf on boot?
by Thomas Burns 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

A system had a disk problem, I took out the disk, mounted on another system, tweaked around until I thought the disk problem was fixed, then put it back in the original system. I did not edit any config files among the tweaks. When I booted the system, NIS was not working right. I found that these files had been changed: /etc/yp.conf /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ntp.conf /etc/auto.master /etc/hosts.allow. A comment in the new bogus yp.conf indicated it had been created by NetworkManager. But Networkmanager is not active: # chkconfig --list|grep -i netw NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Did hald or something like that run some NetworkManager stuff? How could this happen, or rather, how do I prevent this from ever happening again? mahalo, Dave

bash on Centos 5 can not source FIFOs ...
by Timothy Madden 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello I run into this problem on CentOS 5.7 (Final), that if I try to source a FIFO in bash, my command will be silently ignored and nothing from the FIFO is interpreted. Here is a simple example: [root@appserver2 ~]# mkfifo /tmp/myfifo [root@appserver2 ~]# echo ls -l >/tmp/myfifo & [2] 23771 [root@appserver2 ~]# source /tmp/myfifo # no `ls´ output here... [root@appserver2 ~]# rm /tmp/myfifo rm: remove fifo `/tmp/myfifo'? y [2]+ Exit 1 echo ls -l > /tmp/myfifo [root@appserver2 ~]# CentOS 5.7 comes with 'GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)'. I can see from posting in the bash group that the same bash 3.2 (and older) on a different distribution can source the FIFO as expected: nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.bash.bugs/17652 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.bash.bugs/17649/focus=17652 Can this be a CentOS/packaging issue ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

Cannot remove a file
by Theo Band 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I have used restore to restore a snapshot of home data. From the root of this restore a file called aquota.user exists but cannot be removed: # mount|grep temp /dev/mapper/vgraid-temprestore on /mnt/temprestore type ext3 (rw) # cd /mnt/temprestore/home # ll -d . drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 12 11:12 . # ll total 12 -rw------- 1 root root 8192 Sep 30 10:21 aquota.user # rm aquota.user rm: remove write-protected regular file `aquota.user'? y rm: cannot remove `aquota.user': Operation not permitted # mv aquota.user somethingelse mv: cannot move `aquota.user' to `somethingelse': Operation not permitted # chown root.root aquota.user chown: changing ownership of `aquota.user': Operation not permitted # setfacl -b aquota.user # rm aquota.user rm: remove write-protected regular file `aquota.user'? y rm: cannot remove `aquota.user': Operation not permitted # getfacl aquota.user # file: aquota.user # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::--- other::--- And yes, I did a fsck -f on the filesystem. I even re-created the filesystem (it needs to be empty anyhow) but after I restore the file (using restore) the same problem pops up. Any ideas on what else I can do to get rid of this file? CentOS 5.7 Selinux permissive. Theo

Release Notes for 6.1 are availble at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.1 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.1 is based on the upstream release EL 6.1 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. All machines running CentOS-Release-CR on 6.0 would already be running code that is included in the 6.1 install media. We highly recommend everyone use the CR repository in order to get all bugfix and security updates as soon as possible. More information on the CR repository can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.1 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. In most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a thousand people seeding CentOS-6 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.1/isos/i386/CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.1/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD1t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.1 ISOS: i386: 2ef1eb330efeb8bca5646700481b1a645f726bdb CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD1.iso e12d7f473fa7f13931738f3c37f57d99e66c2ff2 CentOS-6.1-i386-bin-DVD2.iso b0163bcf2777b9c19542a89106094aafea45f3aa CentOS-6.1-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: 6cf7de61f851bbdb6859ce0a33d65d9554219509 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 7bfd52eaa5ada445982c3f528c1f481bbcda85c8 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 2d0e5c3c91717996c7d3d35658f79ccac767b564 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are still making their way to the CentOS mirrors and should be available within the next 24 to 48 hours. We are prioritising the centos modified packages. In order to speed up the release process for these packages, we are releasing them directly into vault.centos.org; this drastically reduces the amount of traffic generated for the mirrors and makes it possible for us to publish them in sync with the binary code. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org) +++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making 6.1, specially the enormous effort put in by everyone on the QA team.

You can though enjoy a Gnome basic desktop, view and modify pictures with gthumb, browsing the web with Firefox, send emails with Thunderbird and connect to your favorite Instant Messaging network with Pidgin Note that the package manifest has changed slightly from the LiveCD6.0 release: Gimp has been removed and rdesktop,tigervnc,vinagre and tsclient have been added. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : 12a5bfbc0e4cfa1ebf9733c71c3e541a75b74db457f261ed46039b5714b2fee3 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveCD.iso f9a9b245b7e5e45a7998ba91be8545dfaa738da771fa42ba91ecca5496f8f13f CentOS-6.1-i386-LiveCD.iso The CentOS-6.1 LiveCD is released to all external mirrors and available for download now.

The minimal install iso media is an alternative install to the main CentOS-6.1 distribution and comes with a trimmed down, preselected rpm list. However, it still runs off the standard installer, with all the regular features that one would expect from the main distribution, except the rpm selection screen has been disabled.

And with lvm, mdraid, iscsi and dm-multipath environments. These images also contain the complete recovery and rescue environment found in the main distribution. You should be able to use these images from CD media, DVD media, USB storage devices. We do not recommend these images be used with kickstart files written for the main CentOS distro images. An install will setup yum to work with the regular default CentOS 6.1 repositories. Once the installed machine instace boots it should work just like a regular CentOS machine, with only the bare minimal rpms installed. All package management, networking and storage related functionality should already be in place. +++++++++++++++++++++++ There is no upstream Minimal media product. These ISOs only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1 distribution.

Combining CentOS 6.1 DVD images
by Steve Snyder 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

I would like to create a single installation directory from the DVD1 and DVD2 CentOS 6.1 release DVD images, suitable for network (NFS) installation. If I mount each of the ISO images and copy their files to a single directory, will that work? That is, are the files on each DVD unique such that I won't be overwriting any files from DVD1 when doing the DVD2 copy? Will pointing a CentOS network installation (CentOS-6.1-i386-netinstall.iso) at this directory satisfy it at runtime for the files needed to do a full 6.1 install? Thanks.

rhost= does not include IP in /var/log/secure
by b.j. mcclure 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

For a couple months or so I have noticed that failed dovecot logins do not print the offending IP address in /var/log/secure which prevents fail2ban from blocking appropriate ports. All had worked well for several years. Box is 5.7 fully updated. I found this bug against cyrus-sasl which sounds like it might be related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683797 On the box in question, > rpm -q cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-5.el5_4.3 Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks in advance. B.J. --

ZFS magic (was: Backup Redux)

Anyway, I have a ZFS storage unit here and this is my first exposure to it so I don't really know about any of this ZFS magic that I often hear about. I'm sure I could google and find some reading on the matter but am wondering if anyone has some recommended reading that is concise and to the point, and will give me a good intro. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

In my virtualmin panel I have many email configured, but when I acces Horde and I try to login with email/password or user/password, Horde tell me login or password not good. What I have to do to synchronize Horde and virtualmin mailbox? Thanks you Ernesto

iscsid still starting up after turning it off
by Mike VanHorn 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I have a set of CentOS 5.7 workstations, on which I have turned of iscsid using 'chkconfig iscid off'. However, when some of them reboot, iscsid starts anyway. Also, when I do an 'service --status-all", iscsid is listed twice (this is true on both the workstations where iscsid starts and the ones where iscsid doesn't start), which seems to indicate, I think, that it is listed as a service twice. How can I tell from whence iscsid is starting, even after it's been turned off?
