Determine high i/o reads/write directories
by Robert Arkiletian 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I have a DRBL server, basically an nfs fileserver, which I am rebuilding. I want to put the high i/o directories on a separate raid array for performance. Currently everything is under / in one raid array. How can I tell which directories, obviously other than /home, are getting high reads and/or writes? Any tools to measure i/o per directory? Thanks -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada

Apache Changing IPtables C 5.6 via Apache
by Always Learning 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

When a web site is attacked, so far by unsuccessful hackers, my error routine adds the attackers IP address, prefixed by 'deny', to that web site's .htaccess file. It works and the attacker, on second and subsequent attacks, gets a 403 error response. I want to extend the exclusion ability to every web site hosted on a server. My preferred method is iptables. However, when breaking-out of a PHP script on a web page and running a normal iptables command, for example: iptables -A 3temp -s 1.2.3.4 -j DROP iptables responds with: iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) Executing 'whoami' confirms Apache is the user. Giving Apache group rw on the /etc/sysconfig/iptables and ensuring the /sbin/iptables is executable by all, fails to resolve the problem. Is there any method of running iptables from an Apache originated process ? Thank you. -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

A new .xxx domain suffix for sexual content is becoming available. If you have a cherished Trade Mark or brand name and do not want relish having your_domain_name.xxx being available to Cyber Squatters or the 'porn trade' you can block the issuing of that .xxx domain name for a single payment of USD $200 - $300. The blocking application period is from 7 September 2011 until 28 October 2011. The details of where to apply were not disclosed. .xxx will cost about USD $75 yearly.

Multipath w/ iscsi
by Joseph L. Casale 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I have several CentOS 6 boxes that mount iscsi based luns and use mpath. They all had problems shutting down as a result of unused maps not getting flushed as the system halted. After examining the init scripts, netfs, iscsi and multipathd all had the correct order but mpath failed to flush these maps and the system waited indefinitely. In the meantime I hacked this by adding a `/sbin/multipath -F` at the end of the stop clause in the init script. I seriously doubt this problems exists w/o being the result of my error in configuration. Anyone know what the required mpath config might be in this scenario where the block devices all disappear once netfs unmounts and iscsi stops? Thanks! jlc

help with gpg
by Jerry Geis 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Under Centos 5 I ran this command: gpg --passphrase-file /home/myuser/pass_phrase.txt -c ../Versions/program.x86_64.tgz and this worked fine. On CentOS 6 running the same command prompts me for the passphrase. Thats exactly what I dont want to have happen. I have the pass phrase I want in the file. After some searching it says I need to start the daemon like "gpg-agent --daemon" take the output: GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-x4WH7K/S.gpg-agent:19156:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO; and use it - which I did. Then when I run my command above I still get prompted for the pass phrase. What am I not doing correct? I just want a simple phrase on a file that someone has to know before they can extract it. Nothing special going on.... Thanks, Jerry

Centos6 - Logwatch not mailing on 64bit
by david 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Folks Logwatch is doing its thing properly on my 32-bit servers, delivering the report by mail to my root account once a day sometime around 3:30am. On the 64-bit systems, no mail is occurring. From the "cron" log on a 64-bit system, there are lines like: cron-20110821:Aug 21 03:36:23 XXX run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[9727]: finished 0logwatch (where "XXX" stands for the server name) but no report is sent. If I run logtwatch manually, by simply typing logwatch as root, I get the mail. Is this a known issue? Is there some information I could supply that would help identify the reason? To the best of my knowledge, I made no changes to the logwatch configuration. Thanks David Kurn

Fedora and CentOS no longer on speaking terms
by Anne Wilson 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

I have just upgraded my server from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 and am having connectivity problems. My laptop runs Fedora 14, and I have been in the habit of mounting data partitions on my server by fstab entries. Since the update I've not been able to do that. On watching the messages during a reboot I saw a statement that the connection was denied by the server (where are those messages stored so that I can quote accurately?). I have temporarily disabled both the firewall and selinux, and the problem persists, so clearly they are not the cause. Logwatch has the following section which may or may not be connected: --------------------- Connections (secure-log) Begin ------------------------ Userhelper executed applications: anne -> system-config-users as root: 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix- session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 successfully authenticated as unix-user:root to gain TEMPORARY authorization for action org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth for system-bus-name::1.88 [/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/system-config-firewall] (owned by unix-user:anne): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.24 [/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 (system bus name :1.45 [/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.utf8): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.24, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session6 (system bus name :1.214, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.utf8) (disconnected from bus): 1 Time(s) ---------------------- Connections (secure-log) End ------------------------- An example fstab line is /Data1 /nfs4exports/Data1 none bind 0 0 Under CentOS 5 this was mounted by the exports line: /nfs4exports/Data1 192.168.0.0/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohide) Following advice, I have changed this to: /Data1/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 *(rw,sync,insecure,no_all_squash) That hasn't helped at all. I'm completely at a loss, and really need to get this connection working again. I've done lots of googling and reading, but just feel to be digging an ever-deeper hole. All help appreciated. Anne

PHP 5.3: IUS vs CentOS repos
by Kenneth Porter 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

I need to upgrade PHP because the latest WordPress requires one at least at 5.2.4. What are the tradeoffs of using the php53 packages provided by CentOS versus IUS? I've seen that installing the RHEL-derived php53 requires removing php first and it creates package conflicts because it doesn't provide a virtual php-common package. That suggests I should install the IUS package. Is there any reason to avoid IUS and stay with the CentOS package? <http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2011/07/24/updating-php-in-rhelcentos-…>

Problem booting in CentOS 5.6

The last update for CentOS 5.6 included a new kernel. Now when I boot there is a message on the console saying "mounting cifs: Password". If someone presses enter it continues to boot. This is very inconvenient, since I access my machine by ssh. Is there some way to get it to boot without pausing? Thanks, John -- John J.

which firewall to automatically block bandwidth abusers?
by Rudi Ahlers 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi, I'm looking for a firewall (preferably on Linux / UNIX) that could automatically block bandwidth abusers as soon as a connection goes over a certain speed, or limit - i.e. either more than say 3Mb/s or 10GB in a giving period (like weekly / monthly). But, I need it to block the IP to, or where the traffic comes from, or goes to. i.e. a user logs into a web server and upload a LOT of data, then the firewall should block him, but not other people. Or, someone uploads a small bit of data but downloads a lot of data and then get's blocked. But I need to set thresholds And I should be able to exclude certain IP's / domains from the limits. Does this make sense? Can this be done with iptables? If so, how? If not, what else could I use for this? A normal DDOS prevention firewall doesn't really work since it only blocks traffic coming in. But I need to limit traffic going out as well. The servers behind the firewall will serve mail, http, ftp, sql and SSH -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Change bash colours like in VIM
by Dotan Cohen 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

In VIM one can easily change colours with ":set backgorund=dark". This doesn't actually change the background, but rather uses a colour scheme that is designed for a dark background. Is there any quick command like this for bash? I don't want to edit the whole config file if there is a quick way to get a better colour scheme.

Problem getting eth0 up
by Alfred von Campe 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. I've seen the FAQ on the wiki and the interface is up, but it doesn't get an IP address. I've done the installation from DVD multiple times now, each time with the same result. What am i missing?

CentOS 6 and IPv6 neighbor proxy
by Helmut Drodofsky 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

To route a subnet in ipv6 there are two possibilities: - add route commands for the subnet in each computer - or use neighbor proxy in the router server I prefer neighbor proxy. So I have to activate neighbor proxy in the router: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.proxy_ndp=1 and I have to add entries for each client in the subnet like ip -6 neigh add proxy 2001:0:0:1:211:d8ff:fe97:3273 dev eth0 This works well but is lost on reboot. For the sysctl command there is /etc/sysctl.conf for permanent configuration. If I create a file route-eth0 in the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ with the above ip neighbor command, the interface eth0 is immediately down. Restart of network brings: Bringing up interface eth0: Error: Unknown connection: 5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03. [FAILED] All Interfaces are NetworkManager controlled. Ask for help: - where can I store the command for a permanent configuration? - Shall I not further use NetworkManager? Thank you for help in advance Helmut

using posfix on the local LAN, with internet FQDN
by Rudi Ahlers 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this please. One of our clients has an in-house Postfix mailserver which basically downloads mail for the individual users from our mail server hosted on the web using fetchmail. They use our SMTP server to send mail. Their email clients are then setup to get & send mail from the server, on 192.168.2.254 (for POP3 & SMTP). All mail between them on the local LAN gets send to each other via the server, and not the internet. This works quite well, but as soon as someone sends mail from the Linux server directly (it has webmin + usermin installed and has a basic webmail interface for when they're out of the office) it sends mail using the local machine name, instead of the domain name. for example, mail comes from esther(a)ser001.rewards.local. How do I tell Postfix to automaticlly send mail from <user>@<theirdomain.com> instead? Sorry for asking this, but I don't know Postfix very well and don't know what to call to, to search on google. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Centos Gotcha: YUM Groupinstall
by david 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Folks I have encountered a situation with YUM that isn't what I expected. Let's suppose I want to install a group, call it G. My first question would be -- is the group already installed. Realize all of this is scripted. So, I use yum groupinfo and I see the list of installed groups, and those not yet installed. If group G is in the list of installed groups, one would think that there's no point in issuing a "groupinstall". But, to my surprise, a group can be listed as "installed", only to find that a groupinstall will actually do a lot of installs. So, I had to adapt my script to perform a "groupinfo G", parse the modules, and individually test them to see if they need installation. I do not understand this behavior -- group G is shown as "installed", but it really isn't. David Kurn

SAS storage arrays, C6, and SES lights
by John R Pierce 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

So I'm curious how SAS JBOD arrays and linux MDraid as implemented in CentOS6, and SES (SCSI/SAS Enclosure Services) backplane controllers 'get along' and how much configuration is needed to get the warning lights to work properly. scenario: whitebox server with a SAS backplane or two, daisy chained on a SAS HBA (like an LSI Logic 2008), and disks organized as several raid5/6 using linux mdraid. Does this system have to be configured to ensure that the activity and failure lights match the drive bays, or does the SAS/SES spec all sort that out 'plug and play' ? does mdraid properly set those warning lights automatically on a failed raid element? -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast

RAID5 suddenly broken
by Mathieu Baudier 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hello, I have a RAID5 array on my CentOS 5.6 x86_64 workstation which "suddenly" failed to work (actually after the system could not resume from a suspend). I had recently issues after moving the workstation to another office, where one of the disks got accidently unplugged. But the RAID was working and it had reconstructed (as far as I can tell) the data. After I replugged the disk, it was working normally over the last two days (enough to get back to a proper state I guess/hoped) This RAID is used as an LVM volume group for all my important data, among them the root of the operating system(s). It based on four partitions on four separate disks (the third partition of each disk, 3 active, one spare) When booting, I get an error message similar to: raid5 failed: No md superblock detected on /dev/md0. and the LVM volume group does not come up. I then booted using the CentOS 5.6 LiveCD and tried to run a few mdadm command (see just below). It seems that there are some data still lying around, but I'm not very experienced with RAID and I thought that I would ask for advice before trying commands which may impact the data such as assemble, etc. Thanks in advance for any help! Mathieu [root@livecd ~]# mdadm --misc -E /dev/md0 mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/md0.

OpenLDAP setup and bootstraping in CentOS 6
by Mitch Patenaude 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

I'm having trouble getting openldap through its initial setup. I created a /etc/openldap/slap.conf file with a default rootdn and rootpw, and they didn't seem to take effect. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I found that if there is a config directory at /etc/openldap/slapd.d, it will ignore slapd.conf. I can't figure out how to translate slapd.conf into the (new?) standard of slapd.d because all the examples I can find still use slapd.conf. Am I better off just deleting (or renaming) slapd.d? Does anybody know the proper format for slapd.d entries? Thanks, -- Mitch Patenaude

5.1.6 php to 5.3, a few questions
by Bob Hoffman 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Alright, looks like I have to do this (centos 5.x install). Some questions.. 1) I imagine I have to uninstall my current version of php...will yum remove want to take a ton of programs with it? Would I have to individually uninstall each package instead? 2) yum down the new version from some repo and then install it. I imagine nothing from the previous setup will be there and I would have to start going through the program and config files to make it work with my system, yes? 3) for those that have done it, how many things broke when you took out the old and added the new? honestly just thinking about getting a new comp, installing centos6, adding some virtuals, moving the sites over to the new one and being done with it. Not comfortable with a version of php that will not be backported like 5.1.6 is with centos team. any problems you encountered, would love to hear about them. thanks

Re: [CentOS] Problem getting eth0 up

Is you network card even loaded when you type "ifconfig -a" in the $hell? Give us more details as to what you are doing to get the DHCP address. >>> Alfred von Campe 08/16/11 4:57 PM >>> I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. I've seen the FAQ on the wiki and the interface is up, but it doesn't get an IP address. I've done the installation from DVD multiple times now, each time with the same result. What am i missing?

OT?
by Dave Stevens 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I have a CentOS server with postfix running. A pop user's account was compromised and a lot of spam started being sent. My upstream ISP's mail program started refusing to talk to me because of the very high rate of mail, error 451. I disabled the compromised account. I then changed the postfix settings to deliver mail directly and flushed the mail queue. This resulted in spam being sent out. There were about 20K mails in the queue. I don't know how I might have handled this better, I would have preferred to not send the spam, but the volume was large and the labour of sorting out spam from legit email was prohibitive. Advice? A better list for this issue perhaps? Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Krishnamurti

Are file system mounts costly?

I recall a kernel parameter on Unix System V of number of mounted file systems. Max recommended was 8. Larger numbers slowed down inode location and impacted performance.

ext4, 4k sector alignment
by Les Mikesell 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I've mentioned this problem before but put off doing anything about it and maybe now someone can suggest the best solution. I have a 3-member RAID1 set where one of the members is periodically swapped and rotated offsite. The filesystem contains a backuppc archive which has millions of hardlinks that make it impractical to copy with a file-oriented approach. The current filesystem is ext3 with one partition that uses the entire disk capacity (no lvm). It works as is, but... I'd like to use a laptop size drive for the swapped member and the only ones available that match the size have 4k sectors. I have swappable, trayless SATA bays available for both drive sizes. The problem is that with the current partition layout, the drive with 4k sectors takes more than a day to re-sync even though on read access the speed is a match for the full sized drives that sync in a few hours. My questions for any filesystem experts are: Is there a way to adjust the existing md partitions to get the right alignment for 4k sectors without having to do a file-oriented copy to new partitions? A resize + a dd copy to shift the position might be feasible time-wise if that would work. Is it worth converting to ext4? Is there a difference between doing this on 5.6 or 6.x? If I start over from scratch with 6.x, will the partitioning tools automatically align for 4k sector drives (with/without lvm?)? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

How to open several tabs in a gnome-terminal window and run a command in each tab?
by Pete O'Connell 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

"gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=AAA --tab-with-profile=BBB" Hi I am trying to open several tabs in a gnome-terminal window like above. I want to run a command for each tab within the body of the above command. AAA and BBB are both profiles I have created and also predefined environment variable on my system (each representing a path to a folder). The code I was hoping would work was something like: "gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=AAA -e='ls AAA' --tab-with-profile=BBB -e='ls BBB'" in order to list the folder contents within each tab, but no dice. Anyone know how to do this in a single command? Thanks Pete

grabbing ip address from kickstart pre
by Jerry Geis 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

I can get the kickstart command line with /proc/cmdline it looks something like xxxxx ks=http://192.168.1.8/ks/ks.cfg xxxxxx in the %pre sections of my ks.cfg I was wanting to extract the IP from the ks= part. I was going to utilize the "tr" command but its not available in %pre. how can I go about extracting the IP address from with in the %pre section I was going to do something like: cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep ks=http | tr '/' ' ' | awk {' print $2'} Since tr isnt available how else can I do it? Thanks, Jerry

dovecot problem -- not deleting messages from server after downloading them
by Charlie Brune 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

I recently installed CentOS 6.0 and Dovecot 2.0. My problem is that, when I download emails to my laptop (running Thunderbird), the emails are NOT deleted from my server. They stay there and are downloaded again and again. 8-( The "Leave messages on server" option in Thunderbird is not checked. I have several laptops that used to work when I ran CentOS 5.6 / Dovecot 1.x. I haven't changed their configuration and they all have the same problem. Here's a sample (personal data removed) of /var/log/maillog when I download messages (note the "del=0/487" on the 2nd line): Aug 13 14:28:54 chasserver dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<centos>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.2, lip=192.168.0.27, mpid=18393, TLS Aug 13 14:29:28 chasserver dovecot: pop3(centos): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=487/2134628, del=0/487, size=2126323 My "dovecot -n" output is below.

Wireless Problem - no longer able to connect
by Mark Weaver 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hi all, When I first loaded C6 on my Dell Inspiron laptop the wireless worked flawlessly right out of the box. At the time the wireless access point was a Linksys WAP54G using WPA-2 Personal. In the last two weeks that Access point has been replaced with a Linksys WAP610N, also using WPA-2 Peronal. The problem I'm having is the wireless adapter sees the new WAP just fine, but is unable to connect. I was wondering if there were any control files hidden somewhere that were holding old information from the former WAP that are hindering the connection to the new WAP. thanks, -- Mark Weaver Computer Information Systems & Services, Inc. mweaver(a)compinfosystems.com (717) 512-9718

Only centos 6 has this issue i am currently running kvm under ubuntu 10.04 right now. I also did a test install of esxi and astaro and they worked perfectly there. It is something weird with centos.

Depending on the age/interface/BIOS of your machine, if you lose your primary/master hard disk you may have to switch cabling to make your other disk (containing the mirror of /boot) the primary/master. Many modern BIOSes will allow you to select the boot priority order between disks without moving cables. This is something that is best determined empirically before you put your machine into production ... Typically, I do the following: 1. Put /boot onto a mirrored md device based on 200MB partitions. 2. Put the remaining disk space into a second partition using whatever RAID level is appropriate (including 5 or 6) 3. Give the large raid device to LVM 4. Add LVM-based filesystems as necessary. 5. After the system is fully installed, ensure that all boot drives have a copy of the proper MBR. 6. Test by powering down, removing the original boot drive, and powering up again (after ensuring that all RAID sync operations have been completed). This has worked fine for quite a while (CentOS 5.x) and I can verify that RAID1 (/boot) + RAID6 (remainder) work just fine with CentOS 6, including putting an encryption layer between the RAID6 device and LVM.

I have a broadcom bcm5722 and a dual intel pro/1000 pt nic in a dell t110. The setup sees the cards and i put them into automatic mode. After the install no cards are detected at all. Astaro 8.01 detects and utilizes all of these cards just fine. I have also tried ubuntu server 10.04 lts and they work fine. I'm curious if this is a bug with Centos 6?
