Access denied false positive
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi there -- One of our servers is running the 5.3 32-bit release. When a user logs into the system via an SSH terminal connection, he first sees an "Access denied" message, and then gets a password prompt. He is able to enter the password, and log into the system without issue. It appears the error message is a false positive. A check of the messages and secure log files did not show anything apparent. What would cause this message to occur? The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed. If you believe this e-mail was sent to you in error and the e-mail contains patient information, please contact the Partners Compliance HelpLine at http://www.partners.org/complianceline .

problem starting X11 on centos 6
by Jerry Geis 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi All, I had an issue. Manually installing Centos 6 everything worked X11 came up with nvidia binary drivers. Cool. However, I am working on a kickstart install for Centos 6 and that was not working. When I started X it would hang. no mouse no keyboard. however , remote ssh was available and worked. Thinking I had some serious bug in nvidia binary was my thought - but I kept looking. I saw this error: (EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null) in the X log file. I continued to look and sure enough hald was installed but not running. I did service haldaemon stop and it said FAILED as expected, then service haldaemon start and it started up. Curious.... chkconfig --list | grep hal reports haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off So thats the reason of course, it was not set to start. Question is why???? certainly I can put in my kickstart post script to change chkconfig but why is it not set to start???? Thanks for any insite. Jerry

Experience with Centos running off usb-stick(s)
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi, I'm trying to build a redundant duo of firewalls/routers/gateways and I'm thinking about not putting any disks in them and instead using a usb-stick raid-1 as storage. Has anyone any experience with this? Since the machines will be running pretty much only iptables, conntrackd and keepalived there is not going to be a lot of disk activity going on and the plan is to do all the logging on a remote machine which should reduce the write activity on the sticks to almost zero during normal operation. I've already created a fairly minimal kickstart for such an installation but I'm wondering if there are any opinions out there on whether this is a feasible approach or if there are any gotchas I'm not aware of. Regards, Dennis

Using shell variables inside the ftp client
by James B. Byrne 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I have a script that opens an ftp connection to a non-*nix system. I desire to change directories on the host system using a shell variable to set the cd directory. However, I cannot seem to discover how this is done. I have tried this: TARGET=ftp-pickup ftp . . . cd $TARGET This gives the following error: 550 Failed to change directory. I am using shell variables (put $TEMP_TXFR_FILE $OUTPUT_FILE) elsewhere in this ftp session as arguments to get and put statements and I have no problems. Is there some reason why I cannot use shell variables as arguments to the cd command? I am aware the $ is used to invoke .netrc macros but I have none defined. In fact I was somewhat surprised, albeit pleasantly, when the ftp client accepted shell variables as arguments in the get and put statements. Is there a way to dynamically define the target of a cd command inside an ftp session? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Thanks to the CentOS artwork team. I've found the CentOS artwork to be nicely done and the CentOS 6 release is up to your usual high standards. I really appreciate the desktop background that stays in the background, and doesn't demand my attention. Jim

Memory Usage in Top and System Monitor‏

That was the point of my earlier posts asking why swap when there is plenty of free memory. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe behavior is unused files in /dev/shm use swap space? I want to make it so it does not do that since it slows the system down and since there is plenty of available free memory.

NetApp DataFabric Manager/Sybase/SQLAnywhere on CentOS?
by Matt Garman 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hello, Has anyone out there successfully installed NetApp's "DataFabric Manager" (DFM) on CentOS? If so, what version of DFM, CentOS, and what architecture? I am trying to install DFM 4.0.2, and have tried on both CentOS 4.8 i386 and CentOS 5.5 x86_64. I have edited my /etc/redhat-release file to be equal to RHEL's, as the DFM installer immediately aborts if that isn't right. However, I still have errors during the install: Enter your NetApp DataFabric Manager license key [?,q]: <entered my key> Beginning the installation ...

I think I found my problem. I did not realize using /dev/shm as a ramdisk will create swap space. Is there a way to prevent the ramdisk from swapping to disk?

There is no One True Solution
by Devin Reade 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Folks, in many recent threads this pattern has been happening: OP: Any suggestions on how to do <something>? Responder 1: Look at <solution1>. Responder 2: Look at <solution2>. Responder 3: Look at <solution3>. Responder 4: It doesn't work for me / I don't like that / it's a stupid solution / etc <conversation degenerates and/or flamewar ensues> There's nothing wrong with comparing / contrasting different solutions, but can we please try to remember that every circumstance is different and that just because someone suggests a solution it doesn't mean that it's the best for everyone? Ultimately, only the OP will be able to figure out what works best for him but having alternatives can help him get there. IMNSHO we, as professionals, should have lots of tools in our toolboxes, understand their pros and cons, not only in isolation but as they would apply in the different environments in which we find ourselves. If you have observations about a solution based on experience by all means share them (but please qualify the circumstances in which they apply). If you don't, file the solution away in your meatware for future reference. But if you hear about a solution and it doesn't seem like a good fit for your particular circumstances, and you're not the OP, can we please stop hearing the "but it doesn't work for *me* in these slightly different circumstances" comments?

MySQL ERROR - UNKNOWN_MYSQL_USER
by Keith Roberts 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

This is strange behavior because as soon as I start mysqld with a clean error log, I get the following messages: 110720 21:38:47 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '5.5.14-log' socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' port: 2500 MySQL Community Server (GPL) by Remi 110720 21:38:48 [Warning] Access denied for user 'UNKNOWN_MYSQL_USER'@'localhost' (using password: NO) The strange things is, AFAIK there are no clients trying to connect to mysql. I shutdown a mysql CLI monitor I had running, and did the restart again. So I'm just wondering why I get this message, when AFAIK there is nothing that should be trying to connect to mysql - unless it's a server daemon running somewhere? Has anyone else come across this funny error message?

Bug in 6.0 i386 Basic server install...
by John Doe 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hey, I tested centOS in vmware player (512MB, 1 IDE disk) and bumped into a post install failure to boot. While the minimal install works all the way, the Basic server one fails at the first post-install boot with following: modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.i686/modules.dep: No such file or directory ... No root device found ... Boot has failed, sleeping forever I used the same partioning scheme as the minimal that is working fine... /boot ext4 sda1 swap on sda2 / on sda3 Tried with a SCSI disk image, and Basic server works fine... Known issue with IDE? Thx, JD

2 questions on CentOS firewall
by Timothy Murphy 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

I'm running CentOS-6 on an HP MicroServer with a Billion 5200S modem/router connecting to the internet. I'm running the standard CentOS-6 firewall on the server. (1) I can open port 22 on the Billion, allowing me to ssh in from outside. But for some reason I cannot ping the same address from outside. (I can ping it internally.) Why is this? I'm not sure if the problem lies with the router or the server? There does not seem to be any explicit rule on either to allow ICMP packets through. (2) I have a Linksys WRT54GL WiFi router attached to the server, to allow access to the internet from laptops. This works fine. But I was surprised to find that when I turn OFF the firewall on the server this stops access to the internet on laptops. (I didn't test to see if re-booting the laptop would solve this.) Can disabling the firewall actually prevent some linkage? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Changing the size of the swap memory
by John J. Boyer 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

When I first installed my CentOS system the machine had only 1 GB. the swap memory was set to 2 GB Now the machine has 4 GB but swap is still 2 GB. With that much memory maybe it doesn't matter, but it sure looks odd. Is there any way to change it? Thanks, John -- John J.

tripwire alternative
by Nguyen Vu Hung (VNC) 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hello all, Years ago, I used to work with tripwire for system monitoring. Last time I checked with "yum search tripwire", there is no hit. IIRC, it used to be packed by default on older Redhat distros. Any suggestion for an alternative of tripwire for my CentOS 5.6?

Yes, this sounds like the correct explanation! Our RHEL5.6 PXE/TFTP/NFS server is certainly configured for NFSv3. I haven't explored the NFSv4 approach though. How can we tweak the CentOS6 Kickstart installation to explicitly request an NFSv3 service in the PXE config file: kernel CentOS-6-i386/vmlinuz append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=CentOS-6-i386/initrd.img network ks=nfs:130.226.86.4:/u/rpm/kickstart/ks-centos-6-clean-i386.cfg To rephrase my question: Where do we find documentation for the vmlinuz append flags shown above, in particular documentation of the ks=... flags? Hopefully there'll be some way to force an NFSv3 mount in stead of the default NFSv4? Or perhaps we need to use http: and stop using nfs: with CentOS6? Thanks, Ole

Re: [CentOS] Memory Usage in Top and System Monitor
by Michael McNulty 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Thanks for the replies. I checked free and that makes sense to me now. The only thing I cannot figure out is, if there is all this memory available why would swap space start building? I started checking all this out because the system slowed to a crawl after I noticed swap space being used which does not make sense to me if there is available memory. total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8301448 7917100 384348 0 59984 6009248 -/+ buffers/cache: 1847868 6453580 Swap: 4128760 1225896 2902864 btw - this is Centos 5.6 box using the PAE kernel. 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5PAE

Memory Usage in Top and System Monitor
by Michael McNulty 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Can someone help clear up some confusion in reading memory usage in Top and System monitor. Here is a picture of both. http://s1176.photobucket.com/albums/x327/ionosphere2011/ Why does "System Monitor" show 1.7gb free out of 8gb. While Top shows all 8gb being used? If 1.7gb is free then it should not be using swap space so I assume "System Monitor" is reporting it incorrectly? Thanks -- Mike

Script to sync with repo
by Jerry Geis 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

under 5.6 I have a script that runs every night to rsync the repodata for local installations. I added the 6.0 to do the same. Something seems wrong now for 6.0. I do the same thing and I get errors from my local repo at install time. Seems like the cyrus-sasl package is never happy and aborts the installation. Is something wrong with the script below? It seems like it successfully copies the files. I ran it manually and did not see any errors. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jerry # The kickstart files point to the "repo" # # This file will creat the directories and copy the files # for VERSION in "5.6" "6.0" do mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/RPMS mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/repodata rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/mirrors/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/RPMS/* /var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/RPMS rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/mirrors/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/repodata/* /var/www/html/centos/$VERSION/updates/x86_64/repodata done ~

CentOS 6 - VM network bridge issue
by Emmett Culley 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I built a CentOS 6 machine to host several CentOS 6 guest servers. As all guests will be Internet facing I set up the host with two bridged NICs and assigned an Internet facing IP address to br0 and a local IP address to br1. Each guest was installed using br0 and br1 with virtio drivers. On each I assigned an Internet facing IP address to eth0 and a local IP address on eth1. So far so good. I can access the guest servers from either IP address as expected. That is HTTP, SSH and SMTP servers on them are accessible and do what they are supposed to do. Except... Except from any location outside of my Comcast Cable Modem. To be clear, from any machine inside the modem to any address on the guests, all works perfectly. But outside the modem the guest apps either don't receive packets or for some reason don't respond, and I've tired it from four different locations. Using Wireshark on the guests I can see the packets arrive from the outside sources, but no response is seen. On accesses from inside I can see both incoming and outgoing packets, as expected. I can ping the outside sources from the guests, yet pings from the outside sources get no response from the guests. All the outside sources get responses when pinging the host. I can ping the guests from any inside machine. I've tried it with and without firewalls, both on the guests and the host. Including with the following iptables rule: iptables -A FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT and the following sysctl adjustments: net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0 Both of the guest servers I've built have have same issue. Any ideas? I am at loss as to how to proceed and am about to reconsider the idea of multiple guests as servers. All packages are from the CentOS repo and I am using kvm-qemu via libvirtd and virt-manager. Emmett

[OT] Apache oddity - appending garbage request does not result in a 404
by Ray Leventhal 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

HI, I know this is OT and I apologize in advance, but with the wealth of knowledge on this list I hope that some kind soul will help (off list is fine). I run CentOS 5.6 with the usual LAMP stack. One of the virtual sites on this server failed a PCI Compliance (credit card security stuff) because, of all things, a URL with a non-existent request after the .php doesn't return a 404 and I can't figure out why. Example: http://www.domain.com/pagedoesnotexist returns the expected 404 But browse to a page that does exist, like goodpage.php, then append either a slash and some random string, or a ?=somerandomstring and the goodpage.php is still displayed. I'll gladly provide more info, if needed. Any pointers on where to look would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and my apologies for the noise. -Ray

Will QA web site have CentOS 6.1 status?
by Greg Bailey 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

The QA web site at http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/blog was really helpful for those of us who were curious as to how CentOS 6.0 was coming along. However, there doesn't seem to be much information as to how CentOS 6.1 is going from either the QA web site, the forums (Announcements), or Kananbir's twitter feed -- but it may be I'm just not looking in the right place. Does the QA site only get updated once 6.1 is passed along to the QA members? Wondering if 6.1 RPMs are mostly built and perhaps developers are wrestling with the same kinds of anaconda issues that they faced with 5.6... thanks, Greg

CentOS 6
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 19 Jul '11

I finally switched workstations, and am running into a lot of truly annoying details with CentOS 6, and the software with it. For one, I'm doing this by webmail, and this version of Firefox *insists* on putting what I'm typing in gray, rather than black. For another, I despise the new version of thunderbird, since it now shows the full subject, if I have what they used to call the preview pane... and then take six more lines to do it, which I can't make go away.[1] rxvt, which is my preferred terminal, comes up with about 6 pt type, and I'm trying to find out how to change that, as well as bringing up all seven of my sessions in a directory under my home, instead of home.... *sigh* Hopefully, 6.1 will fix at least *some* things... mark, who doesn't want something that looks like M$.... 1. All mailreaders used to show this information at the top of the email, and hide or unhide the rest of the headers... but no matter what, if I scrolled down, they went off the top of the screen, not stayed there occupying space.

Hi all, sorry for being OT but would any of you recommend a ticketing system? We'd like something pretty comprehensive to cover helpdesk and HR stuff as well as software bugs/requests. There seems to be a million variations out there.

It's a pain to install and configure it according to your needs but both work great. For software I would recommend something like redmine (maybe mantis or trac) which supports multiple projects/customers, has repository integration (CVS, Subversion, GIT, ...) build in and has a very clean view (otrs and RT tends to show too much). There is no system which fits all requirements for every purpose. Regards Oli -- Oliver Schad Geschäftsführer (CEO) Automatic Server AG E-Mail: info(a)automatic-server.com

NM on a server?

Is there any point in running NetworkManager on a server? The IP addresses of the two server NICS are fixed (192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2 .)

CUPS LAN printing problem (from Vista)
by Keith Roberts 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I have my main machine running Centos 5.6, and it has a HP Deskjet 810c printer physically attached to it. CUPSD broadcasts in on my LAN as the default printer. I can print to the default HP printer over the LAN, from a laptop running Centos 5.6. However, I do have problems trying to print to this same printer over the LAN, from a laptop running M$ Vista. Has anyone been able to print from a machine running M$ Windoze Vista to their CUPS LAN printer running on Centos 5.x please. All I need to know is yes, this works, or no it's not possible. The other alternavie and easiest way is for me to buy a USB printer cable, and just connect directly from the Vista laptop to the HP printer using that.

EL6, xinetd, and permissions. What am I missing?
by Benjamin Smith 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Staging for a rollout of EL 6, and ran into a very strange permissions issue with xinetd that defies all (my) logic. It's a script called "spfiled" that we use for messaging between our server cluster servers. I'm trying to get it to run with "least permissions necessary". Because it reads/writes files in conjunction with a web-based service, it runs as user "apache". Here's my xinet.d/spfiled.conf: (this is in dev, each developer has his own number) #################### spfiled.conf ################## service spfiled461 { socket_type = stream wait = no user = apache group = apache server = /path/to/filed.php protocol = tcp disable = no bind = 192.168.3.2 port = 12461 banner_fail = /path/to/banner_fail.txt cps = 10000 0 max_load = 10.0 } #################### spfiled.conf ################## Here's the permissions of the script: # ls -laFd /path/to/filed.php -rwxr-xr-- 1 bens apache 18042 Jan 7 2011 filed.php When I restart xinetd, I see in system log: #################### /var/log/messages ################## Jul 18 16:32:25 bender xinetd[17830]: Server /path/to/filed.php is not executable [file=/etc/xinetd.d/spfiled461] [line=11] Jul 18 16:32:25 bender xinetd[17830]: Error parsing attribute server - DISABLING SERVICE [file=/etc/xinetd.d/spfiled461] [line=11] I've turned off SELinux completely. # setenforce 0; Strangely, setting permissions to o+x and it starts up fine, but I don't want to leave permissions that open.

Wireless Interface Does Not Connect Automatically At StartUp
by Manish Kathuria 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I have recently installed CentOS 6 on a system with a Realtek 8180L wireless card. The wireless card is detected properly and uses the rtl8180 driver. But it connects to our wireless network only after logging to the Desktop Environment (GNOME) and using the Network Manager Applet. In order to make the wireless card connect to the network automatically at system start up, I edited the Connection using the Network Manager Applet and checked "Connect Automatically" and "Available to all users" options. However, while booting the system, the following error message is displayed when the wireless network interface is brought up. Device does not seem to be present, delaying initialization But as soon as a user logs on to the Desktop, he can connect to the network using the NM Applet. I have also toggled between using DHCP and Static IP Address for the the wireless card but it makes no difference. The SSID is not being broadcast and the Wireless Access Point / Router uses WPA-PSK. TIA, -- Manish Kathuria

cent0s-6 and virtualbox
by Michel Donais 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I want to get a look at Cents-6 The computer is a portable Thinkpad T-42 The base OS is Windows XP Professionnal I tried to use both Microsoft Virtual PC and Oracle Virtual Box with the same result I boot from the CD (wich have been burned from an ISO downloaded from a Centos -6 repo). The version is CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso With each virtual machine I get this result at the beginning of the installation: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu pae" "Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU" I undeerstand that perhaps the computer processor is too old. But is there a patch to overpass this problem? --- Michel Donais

system-config-kickstart error Centos 6
by Jerry Geis 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

I have noticed that if you have a %include in your kickstart file and the include file does not exist (It's created in my %pre section) - - I could not even bring up the kickstart editor. I get an error about the file could not be opened. No reason why and then the editor just exists. I had to keep chopping down my file till I found the offending line. Hope this helps someone else...

Spamhaus with Zimbra Mail on CentOS

I realize this is slightly off topic, but I've noticed recently that I've been unable to preform RBL lookups using the the zen and sbl spamhaus RBL lists.
