Gnome mouse configuration.
by James B. Byrne 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

On my Centos-5.5 (x64) based desktop the optical mouse I originally configured during the system install has died. In /etc/sysconfig/hwconf this is configured as: class: MOUSE bus: USB detached: 0 device: input/mice driver: genericwheelusb desc: "Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)" usbclass: 3 usbsubclass: 1 usbprotocol: 2 usbbus: 4 usblevel: 1 usbport: 0 usbdev: 4 vendorId: 045e deviceId: 0053 usbmfr: Microsoft usbprod: Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) I have replaced the failed mouse with a spare from our surplus parts cabinet and now the centre wheel/button click no longer inserts selected text at the current cursor position. I would like to obtain this feature with the replacement mouse, which is described on the bottom as a MicroSoft Optical Mouse Blue USB and PS/2 compatible. It has a usb connector which is plugged directly into the chassis usb port. All the other features of the mouse seem to work just fine. I simply cannot obtain the centre button click insert capability. Is there no way to simply force CentOS-5 to re-detect the attached mouse? It must have done something akin to this during the initial install. I tried running kudzu as root from a gnome terminal session but that had no effect that I can detect. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

How to simulate minimal ISO install using stage2 image file?
by Chad Woolley 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hello, I'm working on a project which automates creation of EC2 AMI images. To do this, you must use a running EC2 instance to mount an image file in a chroot jail. My problem is that I want to create an AMI that looks exactly like a minimal (nothing selected) install from the CentOS ISO image, but the "stage2" image [1] file is much more "minimal" than that. e.g., it doesn't have yum, groups, devices, networking, etc set up as you would if you had run the ISO minimal install on a real or virtual box. I can't mount the ISO directly in the chroot (as far as I know, but I could be wrong). My question is, how can I make the mounted stage2.img chroot jail look just like a minimal ISO install? I could manually create everything (which I have started), but this is a lot of work, and I'm likely to miss something that an ISO build would have (e.g. some group). Is there some other standard CentOS script I can run after mounting the stage2.img which will do everything the installer does? Can I run the installer manually with some kickstart script? Pointers to references and documentation are welcome... Thanks, -- Chad [1] http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/

Using Make in frequent cron job
by Kenneth Porter 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Is there a way to get Make to be silent when it does nothing, but have its normal verbosity when something is made? I want to use Make in a frequent cron job (every 1/2 hour, perhaps 10 minutes) but I don't want to get a bunch of emails telling me nothing was done (which will be most of the time). I just want to know when it found something to do.

GRUB woes: GRUB Hard Disk Error
by Rob Del Vecchio 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hello all, I am attempting to install CentOS 5.5 on a recently donated home server (was Windows). I've tried installing twice; first, separating /boot, swap, /, /var, /usr and /home into different partitions, the second time choosing default layout. Both times have resulted in "GRUB Hard Disk Error" upon boot. About the hard disk, it is a Seagate SATA drive. I do not have another drive to configure RAID. The BIOS is set to: Onboard PATA/SATA Adapters = Both SATA mode = IDE Onboard PATA/SATA Cofiguration = Enhanced Mode (???) Upon booting into rescue mode, the file systems mount successfully and I am able to read data from files. The current file structure is (default layout): /boot / swap grub.conf: #boot=/dev/sda1 default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img title Other rootmoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 This is brand new from the installation. My questions are, what am I missing? Bad configuration? Should boot=/dev/sda1 really be commented out? Some pointers for manually installing and configuring grub would be great, as I am lacking experience in that area. Any idea as to what is going on would be great! Thanks in advance, Rob

Issue with HP Officejet 6500 on CentOS 5.5
by Mark 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

I just picked one of these up to replace my 4315, which broke (I think the feeder roller gear broke from an overstuffed feeder), but it's giving me problems. I had no trouble configuring it to print, but it doesn't appear in lsusb and xsane can't find it, so I can't scan with it, which is the main reason I bought it in the first place. I've tried restarting the autofs service (automounter), rebooting, and switching the USB cables with my old HP Scanjet 3300C, but the 3300 shows up on either cable and the 6500 doesn't appear at all. I checked in Google and saw other issues with the 6500, but this wasn't one of them. Any suggestions? I suppose I could get a switch and hook it up via Ethernet, but that really isn't a good solution, and it doesn't explain the problem. Thanks. Mark

NX and CentOS 5.5?
by Raymond Jender 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

I am pulling my hair out here folks...... I am running CentOS 5.5 in command line only. Reason being I am standing up an IDS system on it. I have installed the NX client/node and server pkgs. I have installed the NX client for windows on a Vista box. When I attemtp to connect from the Vista to CentOS, I get this: NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 22080 NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.1.70 on port: 22 NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey NX> 204 Authentication failed. Now I have been googling and re-googling. Plenty of people have had the same issue, but I have yet to find a solution that works for me. Funny that most of the stuff I'm finding on google is 4-5 years old! I'm sure I am probably missing something so simple I will puke! I think I read that someone did an install and it worked right out of the box!! Incredible! I'd really like to see a CentOS - NX configuration guide but couldn't find one. Can someone just tell me how this should be configured....what changes do I need to make and to what config files? ssh (putty and WinSCP) works just fine for me in case you need to know. If you need any particular information, please let me know. Thanks. Ray

should vsftpd be disabled in favour of sftp for security reasons?
by Robert P. J. Day 18 Sep '10

(another in an ongoing list of things i just want to clarify for the sake of future courses taught on centos.) from this RHEL doc page: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deploymen… the reader is advised to, for the sake of security, remove/disable vsftpd, ostensibly in favour of sftp/sftp-server. really? i can obviously see disallowing stuff like telnet and rsh and rlogin, that's a no-brainer. but advising against vsftpd for the sake of security? i'm not sure i see the logic in that. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

securing centos 5.2 for public usage

Dear all, i Just finished setting up an apache service on a centos 5.2 VM machine. i need to secure this machine as i'm soon to be setting a public IP over it where i'd be opening up the following services: 1. http 2. https 3. ssh Things i've done so far: 1. stopped root ssh access in sshd.conf 2. tried configuring PAM so i get a more secure ssh passwords (dictionary wise) as well as tried setting up a 2 times authentication failure for the account to be disabled for 12 hours (i couldnl't succeed in setting this up) 3. disabled port forwarding (to deny outsiders to tunnel through the server inside my network) couldn't succeed with this either. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks, --Roland

looking for cool, post-install things to do on a centos 5.5 system
by Robert P. J. Day 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

(note: i asked this a few days ago but it *appears* that that post was tossed due to getting excessive bounces from my account. so i'm posting it again, apologies if you're seeing it a second time.) over the next several weeks, i'm teaching some courses in RHEL admin but (unsurprisingly) i'll be using centos 5.5. it's a decently-written, 3rd party course, all the generic, standard admin topics but it does leave me about a 1/2 day to throw in any cool stuff i want to add. so, any recommendations for neat things that people here have done in the way of what can be added to or configured on a centos server system? the course covers all the standard topics -- installation, package management, service management, filesystem maintenance, that sort of thing. so i'm looking for bonus, neat stuff that others here do as a matter of course when putting together a centos system. logging utilities? intrusion detection? monitoring? anything that leaps to mind that i can use to fill up a few more hours. i'm already thinking of showing how to build and boot a new kernel. other ideas? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Bandwidth issues
by Michel Bulgado 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello this is the first time I write to the list. I use in my company CentOS 5.5 on all servers, especially in the firewall, recently I have problems with bandwidth, since my internet connection is 512 Kbps and the same is saturated with torrents. I need to limit the bandwidth consumption for torrents, giving highest priority to http traffic. leaving the torrents that are downloaded from a single IP address at a speed of 128 Kbps I use iptables on the firewall. Could tell me if it possible to limit such traffic with iptables and send me some examples? Thanks Michel

can i run NFS *exclusively* off of v4?
by Robert P. J. Day 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

is it possible to set up NFS on centos 5.5 so that it uses *only* version 4? i tried this not that long ago on fedora and was surprised to see a complaint when i tried to start the server and was told that i was missing required functionality of NFSv1, or something equally weird. i'll check the /etc/init.d/nfs script, but i think what got me into trouble was trying to use the entire set of options: "--no-nfs-version 1 --no-nfs-version 2 --no-nfs-version 3" i'm going to try it again this afternoon on centos 5.5, but has anyone else tried this? should it *theoretically* work? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Hi CentOS Mailinglist, we are using amavisd-new (with all dependencies) from Fedora/Redhat EPEL repo. Some packages from EPEL repo are very old. (amavisd-new, clamav, spamassassin) What's the best way to remove all amavisd-new packages (and it's dependencies) from EPEL repo and reinstall it from rpmforge repo? Thank you. Best regards, Morten

Amazon AMI based on CentOS 5?
by Mathieu Baudier 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, Amazon has just released a custom Linux distribution (Amazon Linux AMI) for use in their EC2 cloud: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_is_the_Amazon_Linux_AMI Out of curiosity, I googled a bit around it and read in various places (e.g. [1] and [2]) that it is based on CentOS 5 (basically a stripped down version) and should be compatible with most packages. Do any of you have confirmation of this? And more details/experience? (I'm not a EC2 user, so I cannot check by myself...) Thanks, Mathieu [1] http://www.cloudave.com/4872/open-source-and-cloud-computing-the-amazon-lin… [2] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1693055

Firefox spelling checker
by Frank Cox 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

I just noticed that since the last updates, Firefox no longer does the automatic spelling checking thing in text boxes. I'm sure that it used to work and I'm not sure exactly when it stopped. I just tried it on two different up-to-date Centos 5 machines with the same results. "Check my spelling as I type" is set. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Can anyone suggest a decent backup system?
by Kevin Thorpe 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi all, We have a bit of a problem with backups. We've been using bacula to tape and now trying to disk but it's a complete nightmare as regards tape management. The backup to file storage went ok for ages and now is stuck 'waiting for max storage jobs' which is odd as that's set to 20 and it's the only backup running. That's totally typical of bacula. Can anyone suggest a simple backup package for us? Essentially a single server, full backup to tape every day. We don't need tape management as we're fully capable of reading the written label on the tape ourselves.

is Intel VT-d "really" necessary?
by Rudi Ahlers 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi all, I'm just curios and would like some input from the community on this one. We're busy budgeting for a couple of new servers and I thought it would be good to try out the Core i7 CPU's, but see the majority of them don't offer VT-d, but just VT-x. Looking at the LGA1366 range, only the "Intel lga1366 i7 980XE" (from the list of what our suppliers stock) have VT-d, and it costs 4x more than "Intel lga1366 i7 930" or 2x more than "Intel lga1366 i7 960". From a budget perspecitve I could purchase 4 more CPU's, which could translate to 40x - 80x more VM's being hosted for the same capital outlay. Experience has shown that we under-utilize CPU's by a great margin and memory / HDD IO is our biggest bottleneck on any server. So, if VT-d really necessary? We mainly host XEN virtual machine for the hosting industry, i.e. we don't need / use graphics rendering inside VM's, or need DAS on the VM's, etc. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

hi all, I wish to just have secure browsing for my application. no credit cards or anything like that just secure browser usage is the goal. I can self sign a certificate (I already have) on my servers but for "anyone" accessing the server you see this "nasty" message about "untrusted sight " and all that. This will all be intranet type usage for the server. What is the best method to not see that "untrusted sight" and have the certificate load without and exception? jerry

how to show that a filesystem is ACL-enabled?
by Robert P. J. Day 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

currently reading the RHEL deployment guide and i have a short question about ACLs that i can test on my centos 5.5 box. here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deploymen… the manual clearly claims that, in order to use ACLs on a filesystem, that filesystem must be mounted with the "acl" mount option, and even shows a sample /etc/fstab entry that represents that. however, i just verified that i can use setfacl to give my non-root account read access to /etc/shadow so, clearly(?), the root filesystem supports ACLs, but the mount entry for that filesystem in /etc/fstab reads only "defaults" and, as i read it in the man page for "mount", the "defaults" option is not listed as including the "acl" option. can someone clarify this? is there a command that shows whether a filesystem is currently acl-enabled? and is the mount man page simply incomplete in that respect? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

I ran amanda and backuppc independently for a long time. Both are pretty much 'full automatic' once you set them up. If your backup window is long enough having both means you still have backups if one or the other has some kind of problem or is being upgraded. But, after years of never restoring from tapes I gave up on them and now have the backuppc archive on a 3-member raid1 mirror and swap one of the drives offsite regularly. Tapes are kind of an afterthought with backuppc, but if you want to use it by itself you can use its concept of 'archive host' to write a tar copy of the last backup to tape (or compress/split for dvds, etc.). This can be done through the web interface or you could use the command line tool that generates a tar image to script whatever you wanted to write to tape. With the command line tool you can specify the backup you want so you'd be able to generate a 'month-end' tar any time before the run for that day expired. Also, backuppc can use rsync over ssh for the transport, so once you get the initial copy you might be able to move the server to a remote location. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

why does automounting removable media always have options nodev, noexec, nosuid?
by Robert P. J. Day 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

i'm experimenting with some basic removable media mounting exercises for an upcoming class, and i read that, while you can use gconf-editor to change some of the mount options in cases like that, there is no way to override the mount options of nodev, noexec and nosuid. for example, that claim is made here (admittedly for fedora, but it appears to be true for centos as well): http://scrolls.mafgani.net/2007/03/gnome-automount-options/ is there somewhere that one could see and verify that those options always hold for mountable filesystems on removable media? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

CentOS in low RAM settings
by Boris Epstein 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Hello listmates, I have been playing with Xen VM's and was wondering what the minimum RAM size in which you could run CentOS 5.5 (i386). So far I managed to install in 256 MB or 512 MB and then shrink the VM's RAM to 128 MB and still run the installation. Would anyone know why the install in a 128 MB VM fails (even in text mode)? Thanks. Boris.

But swap is slow and thus making the installation takes twice (or worse) longer. Better is what you did, install with lots of mem, are reducing it afterwards. ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

Centos Virtual Machine 32 bit with 8 GB ram ?
by Roland RoLaNd 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Hello, I have a centos 5.2 core 2 duo 3.0 GHZ with 2 GB ram which is working as a Virtual machine. i've just upgraded the hosting physical server from 32 GB to 64 GB of ram. which in turn, would require me to upgrade the VM to 8 GB. this is a 32 bit centos installation, would the system recognize and use the 8 GB? the option of using a 64 bit centos isnt possible. So i'm turning to you for advice. would upgrading the Ram be enough, or is there anything to be done that's kernel based of some sort? best, --Roland

cron breaking when enabling ldap

Hi When I enable a box to do authentication using LDAP it breaks cron for users like jboss. I get the following in /var/log/secure Sep 14 15:25:01 exoipatest01 crond[7214]: pam_access(crond:account): access denied for user `jboss' from `cron' I have the following in /etc/ldap.conf nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus,tomcat,radiusd,news,mailman,nscd,jboss /etc/pam.d/crond auth sufficient pam_env.so auth required pam_rootok.so auth include system-auth account required pam_access.so account include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session include system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. 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 account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so type= retry=3 difok=3 minlen=8 dcredit=-1 ocredit=-1 ucredit=-1 lcredit=0 password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow 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 debug service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_ldap.so I have added + : jboss : cron to /etc/security/access.conf which fixes the problem. However I am not sure that it is the "correct" fix. I would have thought that the string in /etc/ldap.conf nss_initgroups_ignoreusers would prevent this error unless I am confused about the pam ordering and sequence of how authentication happens. The cron job executes fine without LDAP enabled. Can anyone shed any more light on this error and a possible fix? I am using CentOS 5.5 fully updated.

TCP flow latency graphs
by przemolicc＠poczta.fm 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Hello, we have one application which gets some data from our database but to print just one result it connects many times to the database over WAN. Of course there are some performance related problems with this type of work. I'd like to analyze (not necessary online) its tcp flow especially its latency (using port redirect on switch). Do you know any software (similar to tcpdump or so) which will let me graph/paint latency between each connection and each tcp flow ?

Hi Guys, I have a couple of servers which runs CentOS 5.5 and CentOS 5.4. We have decided to buy a UPS and we choose Eaton EX RT 11 plus eaton network management card minislot.

My experience with UPS and those applications is zero so I`m here for some advises? Do you prefer NetWatch over LanSafe? What is your suggestions?Any info is much appreciated! Thank you in advanced!

vgrename, lvrename
by drew einhorn 13 Sep '10

Hi, I want to rename some volume groups and logical volumes. I was not surprised when it would not let me rename active volumes. So I booted up the system using the CentOS 5.5 LiveCD, but the LiveCD makes the logical volumes browsable using Nautilus, so they are still active and I can't rename them. Tried: /usr/sbin/lvchange -a n VolGroup00/LogVol00 but it still says: LV VolGroup00/LogVol00 in use: not deactivating Did some googling and found out that other folks have had problems with mkinitrd, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Made a wild guess and killed my nautilus process, a lot of stuff disappeared from the desktop, then reappeared along with a new nautilus process. Still googling, but haven't found anything useful so far. Any idea? -- Drew Einhorn "You can see a lot by just looking." -- Yogi Berra

Network cards not recognised

Hi, We have a HP DL385 G6 server that is having an issue. Two of the 4 network cards are not being recognised by Linux. We have quite a few other servers with the same hardware and no issues but, before I call HP, I would like to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong :) I have tried with the kernel that came with CentOS 5.5 and the updated one kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3. I do an lspci and they're all there: lspci | grep Eth 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) 03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) 41:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet 41:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet ifconfig -a ... eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D8:D3:85:A7:E4:24 UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:185 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:111 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:16394 (16.0 KiB) TX bytes:18384 (17.9 KiB) Interrupt:217 Memory:fa000000-fa012800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D8:D3:85:A7:E4:26 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:209 Memory:f8000000-f8012800 (no more ethX) ... ethtool eth2 Settings for eth2: Cannot get device settings: No such device Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device Cannot get message level: No such device Cannot get link status: No such device No data available If I do a search on /var/log/messages, all I get is the following Sep 11 11:38:18 gs-prod-dwh01 kernel: bonding: bond1: Unable to set eth2 as primary slave as it is not a slave. (the cards are set as two bonds, bond0 with eth0, eth1 and bond1 with eth2, eth3): lsmod shows that the bnx2 driver is loaded: lsmod | grep bnx bnx2 216653 0 /etc/modprobe.conf includes the following: alias eth0 bnx2 alias eth1 bnx2 alias eth2 bnx2 alias eth3 bnx2 I have also tried to set eth2 and eth3 to use the bnx2x in /etc/modprobe.conf, but all to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks Gabriel
