Every user in LDAP queried when one user logs on.
by Gerrard Geldenhuis 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hi I have configured a machine to authenticate against LDAP. When I log onto the box using the newly created user I see a LDAP search request for every user that exist in the directory. If I have only 20 users even a 100 that is not a problem but when I start going to 10000 users I start getting some weird errors and timeouts because of the time it takes to download the data to the client. I have tested this against 389 Directory Server and OpenLDAP and both give the same behaviour described above. I have tried adding a nss_base directives in /etc/ldap.conf but it has had no effect. my /etc/ldap.conf: binddn uid=SysAuth,ou=Service Accounts,dc=mycompany bindpw secret pam_password clear base dc=betfair nss_base_passwd ou=people,dc=mycompany?sub nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=mycompany?sub nss_base_group ou=PrivateGroups,dc=mycompany?sub nss_base_group ou=SystemGroups,dc=mycompany?sub sizelimit 1000 idle_timelimit 5 timelimit 10 bind_timelimit 5 nss_reconnect_tries 1 nss_reconnect_maxconntries 1 nss_reconnect_sleeptime 1 nss_reconnect_maxsleeptime 1 nss_reconnect_maxconntries 1 I have also played around with various debug levels in /etc/ldap.conf but I have not really been succesfull in matching requests I see there to requests I see in wireshark. The man page in centos (man pam_ldap and nss_ldap ) also does not make any mention of available log levels or what they do. I have also scanned the source code for some more info on log levels but did not find anything usefull. If it is in the source code then please point me to it. I have gone through the pam list logs and the closest I could find was the following thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/pam-list/2009-September/thread.html and a similar thread in December 2010. This threads although similar is related to groups and my problem is with every user being queried. I am fairly certain (hopeful at least) that is a config error on my part but I have not been able to find that error yet and would welcome any assistance in finding the problem. My system-auth in /etc/pam.d/ looks as follows: auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_access.so account required pam_unix.so broken_shadow account sufficient pam_localuser.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_ldap.so debug account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password sufficient pam_ldap.so use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session optional pam_mkhomedir.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_ldap.so Using CentOS release 5.4 on the client and 5.5 on the server but I see the same result if the server is on 5.4.

advice on using daemontools on centos production servers
by saurabh verma 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi advisors , I would some suggestions on using http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html . My requirements is to use less systems daemon checks in nagios but concentrate more on business / application level checks . We have lots of daemons like below > 1. ) snmpd > 2.) ntp > 3.) SSH > 4.) crond > 5.) php-cgi > 6.) nginx > 7.) Postfix > 8.) wackamole > 9.) spread > 10.) atop > 11.) redis > 12.) taillog-dopa > 13.) taillog-user > 14.) rsyncd ... ETC. We use nagios checks + event-handlers in case of daemon failure . My views is to use daemontool to control all these daemons , and create a single nagios check which scans /service/ directory and alerts for daemons which are getting restarting in unwanted ways. Some of my friends will argue about daemontools being non-unixy and unconventional , But I had good experience with daemontools on around 3000 servers earlier in my previous organization . Please advice what you guys think about daemontools and its pros and crons . Thanks , Saurabh Verma

Hello everyone, Maybe this doesn't make sense, but after I updated autofs yesterday and rebooted this morning, X windows won't go. It tries with the old configuration---doesn't work. It tries a fresh config and fails. I can't copy and paste, but it says screens found, but no usable configuration. Couldn't start X server on card 0 Couldn't start X server with old config, (EE) NV(0): No valid initial configuration found (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usuble configuration.

Memory warning

Folks, Something to watch out for: in the last few months, we've gotten a bunch of new computers (end of budget year), and several have had serious memory errors. If they were all from one manufacturer, I'd figure it was them, but we have had this happen on a Sun, a Dell, and a Penguin, and the large memory (4G, 8G) in all of them was manufactured by Hynix. mark, about to talk to Dell and Sun

VNC Question

Hi Everybody :) I'm sorry if this is unwanted noise but I'm struggling to find the answer to what is probably a ridiculously simply problem. Setup vncserver but it likes to run as a user (reading parameters from ~/.vnc/xstartup of the user the process runs as). When I start vncserver and connect in I am dropped into a running copy of X of that users desktop, how can I instead have it display the login screen instead? -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?

graphics driver
by Ritika Garg 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I did installation of CentOS5.5 in text mode and made changes at the following places in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf : section "device" identifier : "vesa" driver:"vesa" section "screen" device:"vesa" Also in the file /etc/inittab I changed id:3:initdefault to id:5:initdefault so that I can boot linux in graphical mode. I had to make the changes in xorg.conf because the visibility of the graphics was so poor that it was impossible to work. The installation was done on Dell Inspiron N5010 with the chipset: Intel(R) HM57 Express chipset LPC interface controller 3B0B which is a part of Mobile intel 5 series The video controller is: Intel (R) HD Graphics Although graphics is there but the resolution and refresh rate are limited to 1024*768 and 0Hz, so I need to find the video driver. I had given "i810" in xorg.conf but that didn't work. Which driver is recommended?

Maybe OT : strange wildcard behaviour
by Niki Kovacs 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi, I'm currently working through some basic HOWTOS (Linux Fundamentals 1-4 by Gentoo founder Daniel Robbins) on a CentOS 5.5 server, just to keep in shape. I've just noticed a curious wildcard behaviour, which I can't really explain. Let's say I wanted to list all the files or directories in /tmp starting with any uppercase character. Normally, I would do this : $ ls -d /tmp/[A-Z]* Curiously enough, this command lists *all* the content of /tmp, consisting of a majority of files and directories starting with a *lowercase* character. I've tested this on two different machines, with the same results. I'm puzzled. Can anybody offer an explanation for this curious behaviour ? Cheers, Niki

can't install mono-devel because mono-basic requires mono-core. But I have mono-core! What to do? I need gmcs.

Hi. I'm trying to install gmcs so that I can build gbrainy, a mental exerciser. I am not sure what package provides, maybe mono-devel? however mono-devel fails to install because, it says, mono-basic requires mono-core. I have mono-core installed. Why is this failing? $ sudo yum install mono-devel.i386 ...-> Finished Dependency Resolution mono-basic-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.0.6-1.el5.rf is needed by package mono-basic-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.0.6-1.el5.rf is needed by package mono-basic-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest $ rpm -q mono-core mono-core-1.0.6-1.el5.rf $ Any suggestions? Thanks, -at

more software raid questions
by fred smith 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

hi all! back in Aug several of you assisted me in solving a problem where one of my drives had dropped out of (or been kicked out of) the raid1 array. something vaguely similar appears to have happened just a few mins ago, upon rebooting after a small update. I received four emails like this, one for /dev/md0, one for /dev/md1, one for /dev/md125 and one for /dev/md126: Subject: DegradedArray event on /dev/md125:fcshome.stoneham.ma.us X-Spambayes-Classification: unsure; 0.24 Status: RO Content-Length: 564 Lines: 23 This is an automatically generated mail message from mdadm running on fcshome.stoneham.ma.us A DegradedArray event had been detected on md device /dev/md125. Faithfully yours, etc. P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following: Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/1] [U_] md126 : active raid1 sdb1[1] 104320 blocks [2/1] [_U] md125 : active raid1 sdb2[1] 312464128 blocks [2/1] [_U] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] 312464128 blocks [2/1] [U_] unused devices: <none> firstly, what the heck are md125 and md126? previously there was only md0 and md1.... ???? secondly, I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me. it says there was a "degradedarray event" but at the bottom it says there are no unused devices. there are also some messages in /var/log/messages from the time of the boot earlier today, but they do NOT say anything about "kicking out" any of the md member devices (as they did in the event back in August): Oct 19 18:29:41 fcshome kernel: device-mapper: dm-raid45: initialized v0.2594l Oct 19 18:29:41 fcshome kernel: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.

POP3 server
by David 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi folks A POP3 client not configured to keep a copy of messages on the server, as soon as retieve a message send a DELE commando with the number of the just retrieved message. Then, at the end of the POP3 session, the clent sends a QUIT command, wich order POP3 server to close the conection and delete the messages marqued with DELE command. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to tell Dovecot to actually delete the message when receiving a DELE command instead of marking it for deletion after the QUIT. Or is any other POP3 server capable of doing this other than Dovecot. (running on CentOS of course) Thanks David

free space created during partitioning while installing CentOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I installed CentOS5.5 on Dell Inspiron N5010. During partitioning, when I created swap = 6GB then additional 4MB free space was created and when I created ext3 for linux=217GB, then additional 7MB free space was created. Didn't understand why these 2 extra free spaces were created.

Sendmail - block mail based on recipient address?
by Sean Carolan 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Maybe someone can help me sort this out. I want to block outbound mail from my network based upon the recipient address. Internal servers should still be allowed to send emails, but not to a few specific addresses. I've tried creating some rules in /etc/mail/access but to no avail. Is it possible to do this?

network interface up but no data
by Nat N 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi List, I am running a x86_64 Centos server, after a reboot the network has decided to not work.. this particular machine has 8 eth ports eth0-7. eth0 and eth3 were bonded (mode 1 ) after reboot the bond did not work. It came up OK but no data was passing through it. all other interfaces on the machine were working. I decided to remove the bond, so after removing the bond i was left with eth0 using the same IP as the bond used. however it still does the same thing, it starts up with no errors but i cannot even ping the default gateway, tcpdump shows nothing on the interface. I have made sure of the following * no iptables installed * kernel modules for the NIC are loaded with no errors * the bond kernel module is not installed / all bond configs have been removed Below is some info on the interface, it should be noted that all others are OK the only 2 that were having the issue are eth0 and eth3 (the ex-bonded ones) server1:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts# ip route | grep 172.18 172.18.16.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.18.16.1 default via 172.18.16.254 dev eth0 # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:49:C8:66:98 inet addr:172.18.16.1 Bcast:172.18.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7223 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:463918 (453.0 KiB) Interrupt:226 Memory:dc000000-dc012800 If you look closely TX and RX are massively different, but I am not seeing anything on tcpdump even there is a large number of TX packets. Any ideas? Nathan

Nataraj, that worked fine, didn't need to --force it. Now I'm back to having two devices in md0 and two in md1, and they're the RIGHT two! :) Put the box in single-user mode to do the work, then after the array finished resyncing, rebooted and it came up with the right two md devices.

Normally, I would do this : $ ls -d /tmp/[A-Z]* Curiously enough, this command lists *all* the content of /tmp, consisting of a majority of files and directories starting with a *lowercase* character. I've tested this on two different machines, with the same results. I'm puzzled. Can anybody offer an explanation for this curious behaviour ?

problem regarding rpmbuild : creating rpm for python files
by saurabh verma 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

HI people , I am not sure whether this is right mailing list for this question , but i tried subscribing to redhat rpm list , failed to do so . I'm facing a issue while creating RPM for python punjab http://code.stanziq.com/punjab/ I've created a spec file which contains the list of files to packaged http://pastie.org/1236027 And when i try to run rpmbuild -ba command on this spec file , rpmbuild tried to optimize the python byte coded files , which i can see from ( i guess macros ) " + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile" , and fails after that . http://pastie.org/1236040 please help me about controlling this behaviour so that I can skip the "brp-python-bytecompile" section . Thanks in advance , Saurabh Verma

How to install and update a src rpm?
by Alexander Farber 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

Hello, is there please a way to install and later update a src rpm - instead of locating and downloading that package manually? I've run: "yum install rpm-build mock yum-utils" successfully. But when I try to run "yumdownloader --source httpd", I get the error listed at the bottom of my mail. Do I maybe need to add a file to /etc/yum.repos.d/ ? I'd like to have httd source somewhere in a good defined place (will it be $HOME/src or /usr/src ?) because I'm trying to develop an Apache module. I'm using CentOS 5.5.

CentOS 5.5 hangs on Acer Veriton X498G
by Paul Ortega 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

I have installed CentOS 5.5 (2.6.18-194.17.1.el5PAE) on a number of Acer Veriton X498G desktop computers. They seem to randomly hang when nobody is logged in at the console, i.e. I notice a hanged computer but have not heard complaints about computers hanging while a user was at the keyboard. The symptoms are: Blank screen. Power LED on. Network LED blinking. No response to keyboard or mouse. No response to ping. Arp request from computer on same subnet gets "incomplete" for MAC address. Cannot ssh into computer, "no route to host" error message. The power management BIOS settings are set to default: ACPI aware OS yes ACPI suspend mode S3 Deep power off mode enabled Power on RTC alarm disabled Power on PCIE devices enabled Power on modem ring enabled lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 12) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06) 00:16.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PT IDER Controller (rev 06) 00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset KT Controller (rev 06) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev a6) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset SMBus Controller (rev 06) Has anyone else seen similar?

OT: looking for network performance comparison chart
by Rudi Ahlers 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi all, Does anyone have, or know of a comparison chart of the different network adapters, i.e. 1GB / 10GB, Infiniband, etc. And if possible with a few top brand NIC's and switches listed as well. I would like to see, for example, what the max throughput is of a 1GB NIC (and this could probably differ from PCI to PCIE-x1 to PCIE-x4), and 10GBE. Different switches would probably also have different ratings, but could a layer 2 switch & layer3 switch deliver the same performance for example? Basically I need to know what upload / download speeds I should be getting from the different networks, set aside other options like CPU / RAM / disc IO / etc. I have tried google already, but didn't get anything useful. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Howto align partitions in Linux + NetApp
by Santi Saez 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi, NetApp support has suggested us aligning partitions to improve performance, in short: starting sector must be divisible by 8. How can I move the start point in a misaligned partition -in production, with ext3- under Linux? A screenshot with a misaligned (start=63s) and aligned (start=64s) partition is available at: http://filesocial.com/lkwvvn2 (If anyone is interested in this topic, NetApp has a good document explaining performance issues in misaligned partitions: "Best Practices for File System Alignment in Virtual Environments", http://goo.gl/EkBw) I have tried using parted "resize + move" commands, but when moving start point a get this error: (parted) resize Partition number? 1 Start? [64s]? End? [419425019s]? 419425018 (parted) move Partition number? 1 Start? 65 End? [419425019s]? 419425019 Error: Can't move a partition onto itself. Try using resize, perhaps? Using fdisk 'b' command in expert mode ('move beginning of data in a partition') works, but it doesn't move the file system.. thanks!! Regards, -- Santi Saez http://woop.es

Mount/automount fails with krb5-enabled nfs4
by Hans Persson 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

I have a problem that is driving me crazy. Our nfs server is running Solaris. Most clients mount directories from it with no problems, but not all. All clients that have problems run CentOS (5.4 and 5.5). I've found one or two of each version that fail, but also a couple of each version that work. The mounting is done for user home directories via autofs but that doesn't seem to make any difference, the same problem appears when trying to mount manually. Kerberos is used for authentication. When I try to mount a directory manually I get this: # mount -vvvv -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 \ triangulum.ifm.liu.se:/export/users/hans /mnt mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049 mount.nfs4: Permission denied I get this in /var/log/messages: Oct 15 15:15:12 pc13287 rpc.gssd[2780]: rpcsec_gss: gss_init_sec_context: (major) Unspecified GSS failure.

In the second line, the uid if the user changes from 0 (I'm logged in as root when doing both tests) to 121 (which is the uid of the user owning the home directory I'm trying to mount in both cases). Perhaps this is a clue, but I don't know what it tries to tell me. I can't find any relevant differences in configuration. I've gone through files in /etc on a working and a non-working machine looking for changes but not finding anything relevant in /etc/sysconfig/nfs, /etc/hosts, /etc/idmapd.conf, /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/host.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv.conf and others. SELinux is not running. This is what the keytab looks like on both working and non-working machines: # klist -k -e Keytab name: FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab KVNO Principal ---- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 host/pc13287.ad.ifm.liu.se(a)IFM.LIU.SE (DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5) 3 nfs/pc13287.ad.ifm.liu.se(a)IFM.LIU.SE (DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5) I have an yp master and an yp slave, but there are both working and non-working clients connected to both of them. There is plenty of space in /tmp and it is writable by all. Among the total set of clients there are multiple versions of nfs-utils and kernel used, but I can pick a set of one working and one non-working client that have the same versions for both (nfs-utils-1.0.9-47.el5_5 and kernel-2.6.18-194.17.1.el5) so that doesn't appear to be the problem. I've tried yum reinstall for the nfs package to no effect. That doesn't work for the kernel package, but I've compared the md5 sums for the gss modules between a working and a non-working machine and found no differences. Obviously, I need to check something else, but what? Please help! Hans

Preserving LVM after after os reload
by Sherin George 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi guys, I have two disks, one with OS and a second disk containing an LVM. I would like to OS reload the server without losing LVM. I heard that LVM is self sustaining. Is that true ? Should I backup something(using vgcfgbackup & vgexport ?) to get LVM running after os reload. Thanks in advance. -- Sherin

how to do repetetive command in shell
by Roland RoLaNd 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Dear all, i'm writing a certain script which does a specific task in a repetitive manner, i'm going to give a similar script with the same concept hope you could advise me to a better way: USER1="roland" USER2="dany" USER3="kevin" cp -r /opt/$USER1/test /backup/$USER1 cp -r /opt/$USER2/test /backup/$USER2 such a command would be repeated 832 times (this is just an example) so instead of copying the above line 832 times and appending that user's number in each "$USER" is there a way to do it in a smarter way ? thanks, --Rolad

No "last command" in VIM?
by Dotan Cohen 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Although I made sure that vim-enhanced.i386 is installed, pressing : then upArrow does not show me the last command that I've typed. Might I still be using vim-minimal erroneously? How to fix that? I don't see any mention of this in google or the past few months of fine archives. Thanks.

missing dependency for package
by Ski Dawg 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello everyone, I know this isn't strictly CentOS query, but I am hoping that someone here with more experience than myself might have some thoughts. I am trying to get a plugin working for Ganglia on a CentOS 5.5 box, in a testing environment. The plugin is for apache monitoring, called Ganglia-Logtailer. This plugin requires the executable /usr/bin/logtail in order to work. The only packages that have this executable, that I have been able to find, is part of the epel-testing repository in the logcheck package. When I try to install the package from that repository, it is missing the dependency, perl-mime-construct, which I am not able to find packaged anywhere. It appears that the logcheck package includes several other executables that I do not need, and those other executables are what requires the perl-mime-construct package. My question is, does anyone know of a source to get this package that would also include the necessary requirements? If not, any way that I can rebuild the source package, and remove the things that I do not need, and thus removing their dependencies? If I have to maintain my own package for this, I can, but I would prefer another option, if available. Any other way of getting this single executable that anyone can think of? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window. -- Steve Wozniak

Xen3.3 rpm for 32Bit?
by Dirk H. Schulz 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi folks, I would like to test Xen3.3 on CentOS 5.5 on an older machine which is not 64bit capable. Since this is just a "first impression" test I do not want to fuzz with compiling the kernels and tools myself (that comes in a later step). Can someone please point me to a repo with 32bit Xen3.3 kernels for CentOS 5? GITCO supplies 64bit kernels only, and googling brought up nothing else. Thanks for any hint or help. Dirk

black display during installation of CentOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I had posted the following question 4-5 days ago. I want to add something to the question which is important. The question was: During installation of CentOS5.3 from DVD, the installation was interrupted due to an error in a rpm package as the DVD had lot of scratches. So I burned image of CentOS5.5 on DVD. I selected installation in graphical mode. The first graphical interface screen comes from where we proceed further by clicking next. This screen is almost black and its impossible to carry out further installation as visibility is very poor. I was trying above for Dell Inspiron laptop which has Windows7 installed on it. I checked the CentOS5.5 DVD on another system which is desktop and found that the graphical interface is perfectly alright there. So is there any setting that has to be done in the laptop?

libmpeg2-utils
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Trying to update a user's system, and yum gives up, because it wants to update libmpeg2, and there's a dependency - the currently installed version is required by libmpeg2-utils, and there seems to be no update to that. Anyone have an idea why this is the case? I really don't want to add another repo just for this workstation, when libmpeg2 does have an update in its current repos. mark
