DHCP_HOSTNAME in ifcfg-eth0
by Timothy Madden 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hello Is there a way for the dhcp client to send the current host name of the machine when requesting a lease ? Currently I have to include a line like DHCP_HOSTNAME=appserver2 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, but I would like to tell the dhcp client to just 'also send the hostname' and then the client to get the current hostname itself, instead of having the name hard-coded in the ifcfg-eth0 file. I am trying to get my router to know the names of all my CentOS machines, as currently I can access none of my CentOS machines by their node name (I get 'unknown host' upon name lookup) and maybe it will help if the router knows all the computer names. Thank you, Timothy Madden

Using the CR repo
by david 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Folks I am trying to use the CR repo in for yum, but find that nothing is getting updated. The repository isn't even listed in the yum run. The file contents of /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-CR, after I adjusted the priority is: # CentOS-CR.repo # # The continuous release ( CR ) repository contains rpms from the # next point release of CentOS, which isnt itself released as yet. # # Look at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR # for more details about how this repository works and what users # should expect to see included / excluded [cr] enabled=1 priority=3 name=CentOS-$releasever - CR baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/cr/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 The YUM output does not list the CR repository. What am I doing wrong? David Kurn

Forget SMB password immediately
by Guitart Francesc 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, I'm new to CentOS and also on the list, since I usually work with Debian. My problem is as follows: I have a NAS where users connect to do their backups. Each user has a folder shared where only he can enter. Multiple users get connected from a CentOS 5.7 to the NAS, each in its shared folder. I connect to the NAS by entering the login, password and shared folder of user A (here I connect through SMB port 445) and I get disconnected by removing the volume. I re-connect in the same way with the user B and then disconnect. Now if I connect with any user without entering the shared folder (I get a netbios connection to port 139) I can enter to the shared folder of user A and B without entering their credentials. A netstat -an shows me a connection to port 139 and 445 per user. After a while (too I think) connections over ports 445 and 139 are automatically cuted and I have to authenticate again. How I can force always the request of login and password? Thanks in advance. -- Francesc Guitart

Hello, Can someone explain why I don't get a timeout when I use the community string "public" even if I don't have it defined in my snmpd.conf file. It doesn't return data but it also doesn't timeout. See example below. ... rocommunity nobody 127.0.0.1 ...

NFS: hostname vs IP address
by Steve Thompson 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

CentOS 5.7 x86_64. Lots of hosts NFS mounting a file system. All are configured identically (same LDAP servers, same DNS, same autofs config, same patches, etc). On some of them I see an NFS mount displaying a host name: % df -P | grep smt <hostname>:/mnt/foo 1651345888 264620688 1386725200 17% /fs/home/smt and on some just the IP address: % df -P | grep smt aa.bb.cc.dd:/mnt/foo 1651345888 264620688 1386725200 17% /fs/home/smt I cannot see any difference between the configuration of these two clients. Everything works. Anyone have a clue as to the source of this difference? -steve

Hey guys and gals, Anyone know of a half decent tool like DNSstuff.com only free?

OpenNMS normally probes to auto-discover running services, then alarms if they go away, but there is also a provisioning mode where you provide the nodes and services to monitor. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Pipes (fifos) not working in concurrently
by Timothy Madden 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Hello I have a large list of URLs (from a database, generated automatically during tests) that I want to download using several wget processes at the same time. With our internal web servers, this will be a lot faster than downloading the pages one at a time with a single process. So I create 20 pipes in my script with `mkfifo´ and connect the read end of each one to a new wget process for that fifo. The write end of each pipe is then connected to my script, with shell commands like `exec 18>>fifo_file_name´ Then my script outputs, in a loop, one line with an URL to each of the pipes, in turn, and then starts over again with the first pipe until there are no more URLs from the database client. Much to my dismay I find that there is no concurrent / parallel download with the child `wget´ processes, and that for some strange reason only one wget process can download pages at a time, and after that process completes, another one can begin. My script does feed *all* the pipes with data, one line to each pipe in turn, and has all the pipes written and closed by the time the first child process has even finished downloading. Do you know why my child processes manifest this behavior of waiting in turn for each other in order to start reading the fifo and download ? I figure it must be something about the pipes, because if I use regular files instead (and reverse the order: first write the URLs, then start wget to read them) than the child processes run in parallel as expected. The child processes also run in parallel if I open the write end of the pipes first, and the start the wget processes for the read end. They even run in parallel with my pipes, but I could see them run like this only for once in all my attempts. I do not know what was special about that attempt, it happened at the beginning of the day, and the computers where not restarted nor logged off over night. The pipes are created and deleted on ever run, with mkfifo and rm. Is there something special about fifos to make them run in sequence if I open the read end first ? My script is attached here, I believe it is nicely formatted and clear enough. Thank you, Timothy Madden

Add new host to /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml without virsh net-destroy?

Hi, When I setup a new KVM guest and add it's mac address to the default NAT'ted network, it would be nice to have that become active without having to destroy the network and recreate it - as that tends to make the other guests rather upset. Anybody knows how to achieve that? I've tried virsh net-edit but that doesn't seem to do anything useful :-( BR Bent

CentOS fileserver migrating to ZFS appliance
by Alan McKay 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Hey folks, I've got a CentOS / RHEL (5.x) environment and am in the process of migrating the 5.3 file server over to an Oracle/Sun 7120 appliance. I want to keep my main 5.3 server as our NIS server but am moving NFS and Samba functions over to the appliance. NFS was a no brainer as one can imagine. Samba seems a bit trickier because of the authentication requirements in the ZFS server. They seem to want a domain controller which we don't have. Has anyone been here recently and can help with how to config the appliance for Samba but to authenticate from NIS ? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Re: [CentOS] Forget SMB password immediately

Dear Guitart, You have Microsoft Windows on your mind . . . Microsoft has left the building! ----- Original Message ----- From: Guitart Francesc Sent: 11/23/11 05:11 AM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS] Forget SMB password immediately Hi, I'm new to CentOS and also on the list, since I usually work with Debian. My problem is as follows: I have a NAS where users connect to do their backups. Each user has a folder shared where only he can enter. Multiple users get connected from a CentOS 5.7 to the NAS, each in its shared folder. I connect to the NAS by entering the login, password and shared folder of user A (here I connect through SMB port 445) and I get disconnected by removing the volume. I re-connect in the same way with the user B and then disconnect. Now if I connect with any user without entering the shared folder (I get a netbios connection to port 139) I can enter to the shared folder of user A and B without entering their credentials. A netstat -an shows me a connection to port 139 and 445 per user. After a while (too I think) connections over ports 445 and 139 are automatically cuted and I have to authenticate again. How I can force always the request of login and password?

That's how it worked on Fedora 13/14 so it must be popssible ;-) just can't find the magic. Thanks,, Tony

Bacula dbcheck in CentOS6

That's an error in the RPM install script. It uses the "alternatives" mechanism for switching between database backends but messes up. /usr/sbin/dbcheck ends up being linked to /usr/sbin/bscan.mysql instead of /usr/sbin/dbcheck.mysql. Consequently, when make_catalog_backup.pl tries to run dbcheck it's actually bscan which gets run. Not understanding the -B option is probably the least of its problems. :-) Until the RPM gets fixed, you can manually correct the bad symlink with: ln -sf /etc/alternatives/bacula-dbcheck /usr/sbin/dbcheck HTH T.

SSD diagnostics / test suite?
by Alan McKay 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hey folks, I looked back through the list archives and there are surprisingly few threads with "SSD" in the subject. In my new job I've been handed over a number of things that were outstanding with the previous Sys Admin, and one of them was an SSD that was suspect. I just plugged it into a diagnostics laptop to use the Linux Smart software to check it - and it all seems fine even after running the disk test suite from the GUI. In digging for more info I discovered that the errors were actually coming from the RAID controller - and the SSD has obviously been removed from there for the time being. While I have it in my hands I'd like to do some kind of complete test / diagnostics suite on it. Preferably Linux based since that's what we have here. I found a few windows-based tools with my googling. I did stumble upon this page which looks like it has a few useful tips for using SSDs on Linux http://danweinreb.org/blog/using-solid-state-disks-on-linux Now, what about comprehensive suites? Should I just run some IO suites on it like bonnie++ or something like that, and see what SMART says in the process? I'm suspecting the RAID controller at this point ... but want to be as thorough as possible while I have it in my hands. cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Problem with gdb or maybe gcc
by John J. Boyer 24 Nov '11

I have CentOS 5.7. Before the last updates, when I ran gdb with a program name gave a breakpoint and then typed run it would stop on that breakpoint. Now it prints the message "Warning: no loadable sections in added symbol file." It then just runs the program without stopping. What could have changed? Are there some flags that need to be set when invoking gcc? Thanks, John -- John J.

Corosync init-script broken on CentOS6
by Hal Martin 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello all, I am trying to create a corosync/pacemaker cluster using CentOS 6.0. However, I'm having a great deal of difficulty doing so. Corosync has a valid configuration file and an authkey has been generated. When I run /etc/init.d/corosync I see that only corosync is started. >From experience working with corosync/pacemaker before, I know that this is not enough to have a functioning cluster. For some reason the base install (with or without updates) is not starting corosync dependencies.

bind slave sync takes long
by Götz Reinicke 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hi, I do have two DNS servers running bind 9.7.3. One master, one slave. If I add/update a record on the master, it takes up to more or less 20 hours until that change is transferred to the slave. That is a long time for me :-) May be I got some settings wrong which would sync much faster ... ? What could be wrong? What might I check? Thanks for any suggestion and hint! Regards .

I'd check the NS records first to make sure both master and slave are listed. Is this server providing external DNS behind a NAT? It could be that you are trying to to zone transfers over the external IP to 2 servers on the same external firewall. in this case, you can add the also-notify { internal ip of slave}; stanza to the named.conf to force it to notify the slave on updates.

not using LVM for Linux VM guests?
by Smithies, Russell 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

I came across an old post comment yesterday (from http://echenh.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-extend-lvm-on-vmware-guest-os.html ) discussing the "hack" of LVM on Linux VM guests and whether it's better not to use it to simplify disk management. I've re-posted the comment below, does it sound reasonable? Is it better to not use LVM on Linux VM guests? --Russell ----------------------------------------------------------- At my job, after doing the same kind of procedure graph, we began to ask ourselves, why are using a LVM on a Linux VM guests? Since we're no longer living in the physical OS world, we didn't need to use the OS hacks(LVM) to overcome physical disk limitations anymore. We decided to Just let the hypervisor and virtual storage do that work for us. For example, in our production setup (3 tier commerce with VMs for database , webserver, and appserver), we're see a great improvement in managability and performance (>10%) by just dropping LVM, and most partitions. In your example, the resize process is 7 functional steps: 1. Increase size of VMDK 2. In VM OS, Create Partition (??) 3. REBOOT (!!) 4. PVCreate 5. VGExtend 6. LVExtend 7. Resize2fs Going to a LVM/partition-less setup reduces expansion to 3 steps and we don't need to take the VM OS offline! 1. Increase size of VMDK 2- Inside the VM, OS, rescan the scsi drive with:'echo 1 >/sys/class/scsi_device//rescan; dmesg' (dmesg will check that you drive isize has grown) 3- Resize2fs. Our current disk arrangement has 3 VM HD devices 0 - small device (100M) with a single BOOT partition 1 - entire device is / 2 - entire device is SWAP Doing this has simplified resizing so much, I now let the junior admins and my manager expand drive space as needed. It's also let's us really be spartan on space since expansion is so quick. Instead of increasing systems in 30-50GB chunks, we can do 10-15GB and let our rmonitoring system warn us when space gets tight. ------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= 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.

Having less languages in Firefox (hunspell dictionaries provide too many locales)
by Mathieu Baudier 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Hello, on CentOS 6, I am routinely writing mails in English, German and French and using the related hunspell dictionaries for the spelling in Firefox (I'm using Google Apps). This works fine but the problem is that languages are added for all the possible locales (English US, UK, Philippines, Bostwana, Trinidad and Tobago, Denmark (sic!), ... and German Germany, Austria... and French France, Canada, Belgium...). So each time I want to switch from one language to the other (which sometimes happens every few minutes), I need to choose in a very long list (with non-deterministic ordering). First I thought it was no big deal, but with time I realize this is a loss of time and concentration which while not big is recurrent. Does anybody knows how I could reduce the list to English UK, German Germany and French France? (no offence to the other locales) An option would be to uninstall the hunspell dictionaries and install the dictionaries manually as Firefox addons, but I find it nice to have them provided by the base OS, and anyhow, I don't think that it is possible for English. Thanks in advance, Mathieu

serial console oddities with CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)
by Dennis Clarke 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

It seems as if /etc/inittab has undergone some changes. That doesn't seem to be related to my issues however. I am able to setup the grub.conf ( menu.lst if you like ) to use the serial console ttyS0 at 9600 baud and the usual bits. However I can not actually see the GRUB menu at boot time. I see nothing until the server begins to boot and then I can see everything. However the grub menu is absent entirely. My config looks like so : # grep -v "^#" /boot/grub/grub.conf default=0 timeout=30 serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal -timeout=30 serial console title CentOS (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=2396ae8a-7eaa-4690-8701-10fb1b604e21 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto rhgb console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img Everything runs fine, however the GRUB menu is no where to be seen at boot time. Any ideas ?

Setting up a Virtual Machine
by John J. Boyer 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

I have CentOS 5.7. How would I go about setting up a virtual machine so as to run another Linux distro on top of it? Specifically Scientific Linux or Vinux, a special distro for blind users. I will be using the latter to test my BrailelBlaster software with gtk and the Orca screenreader. Will I have to assign memory to the VM permanently? Thanks, John -- John J.

2 network card setup
by Johan Vermeulen 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Dear all, I have a question regarding 2 network card setup, when e.g. using dhcp. Until a few months ago, I worked with OpenSuse. There in firewall config, you had to assign each NIC to a zone, either internal, external, DMZ or custom. Without it not much would work. I don't seen anything on CentOs in firewall config. So how does this work in CentOs? greetings, James -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen(a)cawdekempen.be 0479.82.01.41 Opensource Software is the future.

build postfix spec w/ mysql
by Tim Dunphy 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

hello list! I am attempting to build an rpm of postfix that includes support for mysql. I've done this before with earlier versions on postfix but I am staring at this spec file until my eyes bleed and I just don't see why when I build the spec with rpmbuild mysql support isn't there. After I install the rpm I have a look at the modules as such: ldd $(which postfix) | grep -i mysql and nothing's there. I was hoping someone out there might not mind having a look at the spec file and let me know what I'm missing. # W A R N I N G -- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE -- W A R N I N G # # postfix.spec # # This file was generated automatically from /home/sjmudd/RPM/SRC/postfix/postfix.spec.in. # If you want to build postfix with other options see make-postfix.spec in # the same directory for instructions. # -- # # File used to generate the distribution-specific postfix.spec file. # If you need to make changes to postfix.spec, make them to postfix.spec.in # and regenerate the spec file. # # See make-postfix.spec in %{_sourcedir} for more information. # # This spec file was built on distribution: rhel-5.0 # # Information imported from postfix.spec.in: DO NOT CHANGE IT BY HAND # # mysql_paths - paths where locally installed MySQL resides (or 0) # - if using this option mysql_paths should be as # follows: </pathto/mysql/include>:</pathto/mysql/lib> # e.g.: /usr/mysql/include:/usr/mysql/lib # - The order is important and only 2 directories may # be given. # requires_db - used to add dbX dependencies in the package # smtpd_multiline_greeting - my patch to allow multiline banner # mps - man page suffix, .gz except Mandrake >= 8 which uses .bz2 # with_cdb - include CDB support by Michael Tokarev # <mjt(a)corpit.ru> # with_dovecot - include DOVECOT SASL authentication # with_ldap - include LDAP support # with_mysql - include support for www.mysql.com's MySQL rpms # with_mysql_redhat - include support for RedHat's MySQL rpms # with_pcre - include pcre support # with_pgsql - include Postgres database support # with_sasl - include Cyrus SASL/AUTH support (0 to disable sasl, # 1 for sasl v1, or 2 for sasl v2, sasl_library is # the sasl library to link against, distribution dependent) # with_spf - include libspf2 library support (EXPERIMENTAL) # - rpms for libspf can be found at http://www.sosdg.org/rpm/libspf/ # with_tls - include TLS support # with_tlsfix - include TLS fix # - needed for rh6.2, rh9 and rhel3 # with_vda - add virtual delivery agent patch # # Please send bugfixes and comments to the packager. # # distribution which the spec file was built from %define distribution rhel-5.0 %define MYSQL 1 # distribution which we are building Postfix on # - call my script once to speed up build process %define distro_info %(sh $(rpm --eval '%{_sourcedir}')/postfix-get-distribution --distro-info) %define build_dist_full %(echo "%distro_info" | cut -d" " -f5) %define build_name %(echo "%distro_info" | cut -d" " -f1) %define build_major %(echo "%distro_info" | cut -d" " -f3) %define build_minor %(echo "%distro_info" | cut -d" " -f4) %define build_dist %{build_name}-%{build_major}.%{build_minor} %define mps %(test "%{build_name}" = mandrake -a "%{build_major}" -ge 8 && echo .bz2 || echo .gz) %define mysql_paths 0 %define mysql_local %(test "%{mysql_paths}" != 0 && echo 1 || echo 0) %define mysql_include %(echo "%{mysql_paths}" | cut -d: -f1) %define mysql_lib %(echo "%{mysql_paths}" | cut -d: -f2) # determine PCRE library based on distribution name %define pcre_requires %(test %{build_dist} = mandrake && echo libpcre0 || echo pcre) # determine SASL library based on distribution name %define sasl_library %(test %{build_dist} = mandrake && echo libsasl-devel || echo cyrus-sasl-devel) %define requires_db 4 %define requires_zlib 1 %define smtpd_multiline_greeting 1 # alternatives priority can now be changed in one place. # - this used to be 30 but RH seems to have defined other higher values # and some users need another value. # Don't change this unless you really think you need to. %define with_alt_prio 30 %define with_cdb 0 %define with_ldap 1 %define with_mysql 0 %define with_mysql_redhat 0 %define with_pcre 0 %define with_pgsql 0 %define with_sasl 0 %define with_spf 0 %define with_dovecot 0 %define with_tls 1 %define with_tlsfix 2 %define with_vda 0 # support the conditional builds via rpm's --with debug %define debug %{?_with_debug:1}%{?!_with_debug:0} # patch and version information %define V_vda 2.5.4 %define V_cdb 1.1.11-20021104 %define V_postfinger 1.30 # If set to 1 if official version, 0 if snapshot %define official 1 %define V_postfix 2.8.4 %define rel 1.rhel5 %if %{official} %define V_tarball %{V_postfix} %define ftp_dir official %else %define V_release_date RC2 %define V_tarball %{V_postfix}-%{V_release_date} %define ftp_dir experimental %endif # rpm does not accept '-' in version strings so replace them with a '.' # - (only affects snapshots) %define V_package %(echo %{V_tarball} | sed 's/-/./g') # rpm-workaround: # # We can NOT use %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} for installing the docs # from the 'install' section as RPM kindly removes this directory after # we have installed files to it.

I have also added a symbolic link to the readme_files and html directories from %{_sysconfdir}/postfix. The main Postfix web site is http://www.postfix.org. Packages -------- Newer versions of source and standard binary packages may be available from http://ftp.WL0.org or the mirrors listed at http://postfix.WL0.org. Look in the appropriate directory according to your distribution. Mailing List ------------ I host a mailing list to announce new packages as they are released. If you are interested in subscribing take a look at http://postfix.WL0.org/en/lists/. Previous announcements are archived. Chrooting --------- The chroot behaviour of my packages has changed over time. Current packages will NOT turn on the chroot environment in Postfix. Older versions did the opposite. If you upgrade from an older version of my package the chroot behaviour will NOT be changed. (Check %{_sysconfdir}/postfix/master.cf for details.) I have provided a simple script postfix-chroot.sh which attempts to cover most situations and should enable you to disable or enable the chroot on your system with little effort. Package Build Options --------------------- This package can be built on several Linux distributions and with several optional features. %{_sysconfdir}/postfix/postfix.spec.cf contains the information used to build this version of the rpm. It can also be used to build a new rpm with the same options. Enjoy!

high availability ideas
by nux＠li.nux.ro 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations. I need to have some sort of high availability for a set of php & mysql web sites, they must be hosted on 2 servers, in separate data centres and obviously on differrent IPs. I can't use a load balancer because that will introduce a single point of failure making the "distributed setup" useless. I was thinking some sort of drbd/glusterfs/mysql-master-master replication and figure out how to make the dns system responsible with the fail over. Am I going too far with this? Thanks.

Changes at Red Hat confouding CentOS (was: What happened to 6.1)
by Alan McKay 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

These seems to me to be the first message in the series and provides a really good summary of the changes at Red Hat which seem to be making life a lot more difficult for CentOS. Just figured I'd pull it out of that thread and change the subject line. Below Johnny's email I've copied another from the original thread, written by Lamar Owen, which gives some good explanation on how Red Hat is able to get away with this. Basically from what I gather, while Red Hat cannot restrict access to sources, they can restrict access to binaries. And since CentOS has a goal of binary compatibility with upstream, they are essentially left trying to hit an unknown target. But (now I'm stretching my limited knowledge even further) Scientific does not have this restriction since they are less concerned about exact binary compat.

The RHN AUP simply says that if you redistribute information from RHN you lose access to RHN. It does not restrict your right to redistribute anything; it restricts access to future information distributions from RHN. I know that's splitting hairs, but it does seem to meet the letter of the license. After all, RHN access is not required except for updates; if I really wanted to do so I could redistribute everything I have from RHN at this point in time and upstream has no legal recourse against that distribution that I know of (but I am neither a lawyer nor a paralegal; Russ on the other hand knows of what he speaks....). They can, however, choose to not distribute anything else to me in the future, and nothing in the GPL or any other license used by upstream forces them to distribute anything new to me. And that's the gestalt of the RHN AUP; it states under what conditions RHN will distribute the compiled binary code (treated specially by GPL and not as a derived work) to you, its customer. Once you have received the binary of a particular version you have the right, under GPL and only for GPL-covered packages, to receive the source code for that particular version of that package. Upstream is very gracious (in my opinion, at least) and distributes all of its source, not just GPL source and not just to customers but to the public at large (I say all; I haven't personally verified that all source in any given RHN channel is indeed available publicly on ftp.redhat.com, primarily because I don't have access to all channels). They could distribute only the source that they legally have to under those licenses that require it, but not for the source covered under other licenses that do not require redistribution of source plus modifications. But just because I have version 1.2.3 of a package does not give me a guaranteed right under GPL to get 1.2.4 from them. And just because I can get the source to the 1.2.4 package they distribute does not give me an automatic right to the corresponding binary as the GPL does treat the compiled code specially. If you get the binary, you have the right to the source; if you have the source it is assumed you can generate the binary yourself (as is proven by the various EL rebuilds). The level of difficulty required to generate the binary is not specified or even addressed by the GPL, nor does the GPL guarantee your ability to generate the exact same binary as someone else distributes..... nor is the distributor of the binary restricted at all in how difficult generating their exact binary, or a 100% compatible binary, can be. This seems to be the current holdup with C6.1, in my opinion; you can build *a* binary but will it work just like *the* binary? Upstream can make it even more difficult than they already have (and I know it's currently very frustrating to the CentOS team just from reading this thread!). Russ, is that summary even close to accurate in your opinion? These are the facts of life for an EL rebuild distribution user. If you want a primary access distribution (rather than a secondary rebuild) you need to find one that meets your needs, either by paying up for upstream or by going to something else (and there are really only two suitable enterprise choices for 'something else' in this case (and in my opinion): OpenSuSE or Debian Stable). I'm evaluating Debian Stable on IA64 myself, as Debian Stable is the only actively maintained enterprise-grade distribution (again, in my opinion) freely available for IA64 (yes, upstream's EL5 is still available and is still maintained, but it costs six arms and eight legs to purchase for the machines I have; SLES likewise). And I don't really currently have the time to rebuild C6 for IA64 myself. I'd love to, and I've had conversations with like-minded people, and I don't really want to go to Debian on it since I really want the IA64 boxes to work like all the other servers here which are running upstream EL rebuilds. But I have more important and necessary things to do with my time at the moment than to get into the game of maintaining a private rebuild for IA64 (I say private; even if I had time to maintain the build I don't have time to deal with the 'issues' of a public build!). -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

nfs4 problem in CENTOS6
by Michael Schumacher 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, This is slightly offtopic, but I have been trying to resolve that problem for two days now without much success. It looks like this may be something that works with CENTOS5, but not with CENTOS6! I have two machines, fileserver1 and server5. fileserver1 runs on CENTOS6 (virtualized, if this is important), server5 runs on Centos5. Both are running with the most recent updates. Server5 is a machine to store backups on. Several servers, including fileserver1, are mounted with nfs4 on server5. fileserver1 has this /etc/fstab: ---8<---/etc/fstab--- UUID=73254e19-895f-4190-b2e3-13a2b0bec9ce / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=ac658802-73e4-4c87-bb03-6f9af1ebc4f8 /mnt/data ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=4836335a-2d66-4d12-9dec-7197dc772d77 swap swap defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /mnt /mnt dazukofs / /nfsexport/root none bind 0 0 /mnt/data /nfsexport/data none bind 0 0 ---8<--- AS you can see, /mnt/data is a partition mounted below /. I am binding both partitions to /nfsexport/... and export them in /etc/exports with ---8<---/etc/exports--- / server*.pamas.local(ro,secure,no_root_squash,crossmnt,fsid=0) /mnt/data server2.pamas.local(ro,secure,no_root_squash,nohide) server5.pamas.local(ro,secure,no_root_squash,nohide) ---8<--- If I execute [root@server5 ~]# /etc/init.d/nfs reload I get exportfs: /mnt/data does not support NFS export exportfs: /mnt/data does not support NFS export on the console, but nothing in the log-files. On server5, I entered [root@server5 ~]# mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.202:/ /mnt/nfs/fileserver1/root successfully and [root@server5 ~]# mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.202:/mnt/data /mnt/nfs/fileserver1/data returns: mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049 and hangs. ctrl-c returns me to the prompt, but /mnt/data is not mounted. The active mount /mnt/nfs/fileserver/root is working nicely, but if I cd into /mnt/nfs/fileserver/root/mnt and enter ls there, the console hangs infinetly. As I wrote, server5 also mounts other servers filesystems without problems. All working systems are CENTOS5, the one not working is CENTOS6. Any idea? best regards --- Michael Schumacher

by Adil BOYUN 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hello, I have a server working on centos 5.7-64 minimal installation. I have 3 separate physical drives: 120 gb ssd, 2x 3tb disks for storage. My linux installation is on ssd disk, and I want to make raid 1 for these two 3tb disks and store data, like under /mnt/data. Can you please tell me the path how this is possible? Thanks for your help! Best regards, Here are some output of commands I ran for more data: [root@CentOS-57-64-minimal tmp]# fdisk -l | grep '^Disk' Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes Disk /dev/sdb: 3000.5 GB, 3000592982016 bytes Disk /dev/sdc: 3000.5 GB, 3000592982016 bytes [root@CentOS-57-64-minimal tmp]# df -l Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 113695432 1427792 106537696 2% / /dev/sda2 520136 23576 470348 5% /boot [root@CentOS-57-64-minimal tmp]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 114473 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2 2048 2096128 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 2049 2560 524288 83 Linux /dev/sda3 2561 114473 114598912 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 3000.5 GB, 3000592982016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 364801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sdc: 3000.5 GB, 3000592982016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 364801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table

Hi. http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2347 There is updated packages for Debian (and Ubuntu) already. Do you know how long until Centos release an update to bind ? I have looked here and couldn't see any info - http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-November/thread.html - Is this the correct place to look for security update info ? Cheers !

CentOS 6 smb authentication?
by Les Mikesell 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

I have some services on Centos5 boxes that use smb authentication against the Windows domain as a low-maintenance way to handle most of our office users for things that don't need home directories (web/file shares, etc.). Running authconfig is all it takes to add it to PAM, then adding mod_auth_pam to apache makes it work with that and local users. This all works without any particular involvement with the Windows group or administrative access there. Is there a better way to do this on C6 that does not involve 'joining' the windows domain? And is there a way to make samba (C5 or 6) work with Windows7 other than configuring every client to to send NTLM authentication when requested? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
