Logwatch, cron, and dovecot
by Bob Hoffman 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Howdy all, Question for anyone. I have centos 5.x on my server. Everyday I get a logwatch sent to my mailbox. I usually check every couple weeks and this time I got a surprise... Up until may 15th, the watch started with cron begin/ cron end and then went to http begin/end.... May 16th had the selinux (which I have disabled) and dovecot listings above the http begin. Cron was absent. Everyday after that is is all dovecot first, no cron. I never had dovecot show up in my logwatch before. So, I assume some update did something, but it was obviously 2 weeks ago or so. I have an auto update, so I am thinking it happened with a yum update. The selinux only happened that one time...not shown up since. I am concerned about the cron begin/end no longer being there, don't know why dovecot was not there to begin with.... Just did a reboot and will see what happens tomorrow... Thanks for any help at all. --------------------- Selinux Audit Begin ------------------------ Number of audit daemon starts: 1 Number of audit daemon stops: 1 **Unmatched Entries** Started dispatcher: /sbin/audispd pid: 21352 ---------------------- Selinux Audit End ------------------------- --------------------- Dovecot Begin ------------------------

pup problem
by Charles Campbell 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Hello! On May 28, I had a problem with pup and seamonkey. I was doing an update via pup and reading a page via seamonkey; seamonkey froze with a plain brown screen. I waited awhile, and then did the press-the-power-button-until-it-shuts-off. However, I don't know whether it was seamonkey or pup that actually caused the freeze, but apparently pup did not do its updating job correctly. There's a number of icons that are missing, so (for example) open office won't start from the menu. Centos starts, but the desktop background doesn't appear (although I can select desktop background and get it to appear). Finally, attempts to attach anything to an email via seamonkey (17 or 2.04) or thunderbird show the requestor momentarily and then crashes seamonkey/thunderbird. Is there a log somewhere of what was updated (I didn't see it in /var/log/messages) and can I force pup to do the update manually? Any other suggestions for getting things back to normal? Regards, Chip Campbell

Can't print a pdf?
by MHR 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I just had a strange occurrence. I was printing out some PDFs and I pulled one down off the web (my wireless bill) and tried to print page 1. My browser properly fired up AR9, but nothing printed. I tried agian, still nothing. I saved the file, opened it with the Document Viewer and it can't print the file either. I tried opening it with GIMP, and it gets this error: Opening '/home/mhr/Documents/pdfs/vzwA0418.pdf' failed: Plug-in could not open image I couldn't find any related data in the logs (spooler logs are all empty, nothing in dmesg). I tried disabling and enabling the printer, then turning it off and on to no effect (which is not too surprising). Anyone have a clue where I should look or what to do? Thanks. mhr

Hi All, Thought I would let those that are interested know that I had success in running 24G on an Asus P6T with 24G kit of Kingston DDR3. While I was putting this together I saw lots of forum posts asking if anyone had tried it. Well we did here at our work and all looks great including running "memtest86" overnight. I have a fluid dynamics simulation running on it with 90% memory usage and all looks great.

bogus bond0 device showing up in /proc/net/dev
by Tom Georgoulias 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I'm running into a situation where a bogus bonded interface named "bond0" is being created, in addition to the desired "bond2" interface. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone know why it's happening or what I do to get rid of it? I wanted to start my numbering scheme at 2 instead of 0, which I didn't think would be a problem. As you can see, I have no reference to bond0 in any of my configs: # grep bond /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond2 bonding # ifconfig -a | grep bond bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 bond2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond2 DEVICE=bond2 IPADDR=XXXXXXXXX NETMASK=XXXXXXXX NETWORK=XXXXXXXXX USERCTL=no BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100" # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 DEVICE=eth2 MASTER=bond2 SLAVE=yes HWADDR=XXXXXXXXXXXX ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3 DEVICE=eth3 MASTER=bond2 SLAVE=yes HWADDR=XXXXXXXXXX ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no The bond0 interface isn't doing any harm, as far as I can tell, except adding bogus data to ifconfig output and extra, useless charts in our system performance monitoring tools. # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.4.0 (October 7, 2008) Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) MII Status: down MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond2 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.4.0 (October 7, 2008) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: eth2 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: XXXXXXXXXXXX Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Any help is appreciated.

how to install ip6tables?
by Rudi Ahlers 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi all, I'm sorry if this is a quick dumb one, but how does one install ip6tables? Running yum install ip6tables doesn't return anything, even with the rpmforge repository enabled: root@mercury:[~]$ yum install -y ip6tables Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirrors.netdna.com * base: pubmirrors.reflected.net * extras: mirror.vcu.edu * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: ftp.lug.udel.edu Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Install Process No package ip6tables available. Nothing to do Doing a google search for "how to install ip6tables", ironically, returns results on how to disable it. I have disabled it previously, but now want to re-enabled it as I want to play around with IPV6 & iptables. Any pointers will be appreciated. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Thin client system for X applications?
by Jim Davis 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

We're looking for what, years ago, I'd describe a s a X terminal -- something small, simple (and ideally cheap) that a user could display X applications on. I guess they're now called thin clients, but they now seem geared as seats on the web, and for this application we would need to be able display the results of running a homebrewed X application from a CentOS system, either through xdm, or ssh with X forwarding, or vnc. Running CentOS too on the thin client would be nice, but not a requirement. The HP t5545 looks right for size and price, but I can't tell if it could support displaying arbitrary X apps.

Shutdown/poweroff does not power off machine
by Scot P. Floess 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I've got a Dell Optiplex GX240 I am running CentOS 5.4 (kernel 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5.centos.plus)... When I had Fedora 11 and 12 on it, I could issue a poweroff command and the machine would power itself off. However, under CentOS it doesn't turn the machine off whatsoever. When it completes, the machine is still running with a message of "system halted." Then I have to physically hit the power button to turn it off... I believe at some point I did try to issue a shutdown command - but had the same results... Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time :) Scot P.

Hi, I encounter a error when installing the latest kernel 2.6.34 in centos. Steps: 1. download source code. 2.tar -xvf 2.6.34.tar.gz 3.use the .config file of current system in /boot directory. 4.make ,make modules_install, make install, 5.reboot. 6.error:: accur.

Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem"/dev/root" setting up other filesystems. ... After comparing the latest initrd.img and the current system initrd.img . The differnce below: the currenet system has more modules before excuting the LVM operations. these modules is dm-mem-cache.ko , dm-message.ko and dm-raid45.ko which depends the others. I know the centos 5.5 ' s kernel is 2.6.18. which has dm-raid45.ko module. I do not know which changes to 2.6.34 about LVM. I think the errro is about the LVM. Anyone can give me answer or advice.

Setting up a printer without having one
by Marko Vojinovic 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi folks! :-) I am supposed to configure this fresh install of CentOS 5.5 to work nicely with the HP 1010 printer, once it gets connected to the computer (probably via usb, but I cannot be sure). The problem is that I will not be anywhere near the machine when the printer actually gets plugged in, and hp-setup refuses to do anything until that happens. So how does one configure a to-be-used-in-the-future printer, without actually having one plugged in? People who are going to use the machine are noobs, and unlikely to be able to set up the printer themselves, so it would be a good idea if I could do it in advance. I haven't done anything like this before, and would be grateful for any pointers. TIA! :-) Marko

According to 'yum info xulrunner' version 1.9.0.19, release 1.el5_5 exists and is an available package. But when I try to update it, yum claims there is nothing to do and when I try a general update, yum complains that it cannot update firefox because it cannot find xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1. What is going on here? I am doing this on a desktop x86_64 system that I recently brought up to CentOS 5.5, using the DVD ISO I downloaded to my laptop. I'd like to finish this update, but I am having this strange problem. I am getting the same problem on my (i686) laptop.

IRC telling you to go to mailing list - it's for good reason ....
by Gabriel - IP Guys 31 May '10

31 May '10

Just to answer the aspect of why people in IRC tell you to go to a mailing list – because mailing list answers are more permanent that IRC, and also, it spreads the knowledge of the question, and the answer over a much wider time frame rather than just the two to three sentences that are involved in fixing your situation. It also notifies the mailing list which is generally watched by the devs/patchers/genius(is)/workaround guys/people from other distros/generally smart people – who could probably help you work through the problem, or at least direct you to a page that can. These days people treat IRC like a street market for info, there are no rules other than do not paste more than 3 lines! (pastebin is your friend) and you can say what you like to who you like, and log off, without so much as contributing to the community. … At least by coming to the mailing list, or at least searching the archives, the effort that had previously been exerted to answer the question the first 20 times on the mailing list, will not be wasted. IRC has been around for a long time, but unless the irc server is irc.(project domain name here).org then expect it to be staffed by volunteers and people who may not have the same focus as yourself. IRC is just one of a number of resources. It a good spot for instant relief, (think street hooker), but the mailing list is your wife! *disclaimer* I do not advocate the use of street hookers, nor do I discriminate/have any negative feeling towards against those who do, or indeed are ☺ - I just wanted to make a point! I think I made my point, all the resources are out there on the web, this is open source, we don’t pay for it, be glad with the system that has actually managed to evolve given the fact the only incentive has been to pass on knowledge. --- Latest Article :- The Puppet Module Tool The Puppet Apprentice :- http://puppetnewbie.blogspot.com Follow me on twitter :- http://twitter.com/mritguru Puppet #tags on twitter :- #puppet #puppetforge IRC :- itguru ON irc.freenode.org (feel free to say hi!)

CentOS 5 and seamonkey
by Robert 31 May '10

31 May '10

Has anyone had any success in rebuilding seamonkey 2.0.4 for CentOS 5 (32-bit)? I'm currently running seamonkey-2.0-1 which I rebuilt last November. Sadly, I have no idea where the SRPM originated. I found seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm and seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm, downloaded and got to 0th base: [rj@madeleine Downloads]$ rpmbuild --rebuild seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm Installing seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm warning: InstallSourcePackage: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 57bbccba warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/rj/rpmbuild/SOURCES/find-external-requires;4c000273: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch error: seamonkey-2.0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm cannot be installed So, have md5sum or cpio been changed? Mine should be the latest from CentOS: [rj@madeleine Downloads]$ rpm -q coreutils coreutils-5.97-23.el5_4.2.i386 [rj@madeleine Downloads]$ rpm -q cpio cpio-2.6-23.el5_4.1.i386 Or am I looking at the wrong thing? BTW, the reason I'm after 2.0.4 is that a friend tells me that he's using 2.0.4 under Windows XP and that it does NOT have the problem with the email address completion that I see and that he also saw until he upgraded his. Pointers, clues, URLs and remarks about my sanity are equally welcome at this point.

CentOS with Kernel 2.6.32 built-in
by Adryan Pop 30 May '10

30 May '10

I have a Asus laptop, from the new generation, and my network driver is present in the kernel since version 2.6.32(Jmicron). Is there any CentOS with this kernel? I tried to compile myself, but I failed. Is a bit harder than I thought. Is there any testing version of CentOS or some backports? Thanks

Problem with yum update of device-mapper

metadata cache corruption: cleared -> fixing in progress
by Tru Huynh 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, The big mess today in the 5.5/updates tree was caused by a cache corruption in the master CentOS tree during the metadata creation. <tech> createrepo is run with the --cachedir flag. Something went bad :( </tech> The wrong cached metadata for the last updates (see centos-announce mailing list) caused the issue you have all noticed today. We are sorry for that. I initially though that it was a out of sync issue, but I was wrong. The cachedir was cleared, new metadata generated and pushed to the main centos.org server and going down to the public mirrors. All should be back to normal soon. Tru -- Tru Huynh (mirrors, CentOS-3 i386/x86_64 Package Maintenance) http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xBEFA581B

Hi Everyone! This is my problem: I´m using Nagios tool to monitor my servers with Cent OS 5, and I recently added the script for check nfs. This script makes an rpc request in the server, but every time that script makes this request, I have this message in /var/log/messages: "kernel: svc: unknown version (0)" I´m not sure if this message is only a message or a problem that I have to fix. Could you guys help me to stop this annoying message?? Thanks in advance!

5.4-->5.5 Upgrade broke OO 3.2.0
by David McGuffey 28 May '10

28 May '10

In order to get an OpenOffice configuration that is closer in compatibility with MS Office 2007, I removed the standard OO in 5.4 via yum and installed the latest (3.2.0) from OpenOffice.org. Ran that config for many months without a problem. However, when I allowed the upgrade to 5.5, OO broke. I finally had to remove all traces of OO 3.2.0, and start over. That worked...until yum tells me that there are updates to apply, which includes an OO update. Not thinking, I allowed the updates and the OO update broke OO 3.2.0 again. The update is: openoffice.org-ure-3.1.1-19.5.el5.x86_64 updates openoffice.org-ure-1.6.0-9483.x86_64 I had to repeat the removal and reinstallation of OO to recover. Now I watch the updates more closely and don't allow the OO update to come in. Not complaining...just a warning to the community of the challenge one often encounters by running software that is not part of the standard distribution. Dave M

newer (2.7) Postfix RPM packages for RH
by Florin Andrei 28 May '10

28 May '10

Postfix 2.3.3 that comes with RH/CentOS is very old, there are lots of new features in newer versions that appear to be very useful (revised queue manager with better scheduler as far back as v2.5, etc.). Latest stable version is 2.7. I was looking for RPM packages and I've found this site: http://ftp.wl0.org/official/ Anybody using it? Good things, bad things?... Anybody using Postfix 2.7 on CentOS by the way? Do you have any observations? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Multipathing with Sun 7310
by Jens Neu 28 May '10

28 May '10

Dear list, we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already seen by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which run in active/passive mode. BUT the multipathd thinks, they are active/active and therefor shows half the available paths as faulty (multipath -ll below) While this probably gives me the redundancy that is desired, it is a relatively messy situation, since it will be unnecessary hard to detect real path failures and the OS is complaining about "readsector0 checker reports path is down" which gives me >40M/24h /var/log/messages garbage. Any hints for a reasonable configuration? Unfortunately the Sun 7310 is rather new, so almost nothing shows up on google... even less for RHEL/CentOS :-( regards from Berlin Jens [root@dev-db1 tmp]# multipath -ll sdaa: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdab: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdac: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdad: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdd: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdh: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdl: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdp: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdq: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdr: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sds: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdt: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdu: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdv: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdx: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" sdz: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down" mpath0 (3600144f0fdf58b5c00004bc738070001) dm-0 SUN,Sun Storage 7310 [size=50G][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 0:0:1:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 1:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 0:0:2:0 sdi 8:128 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdm 8:192 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 0:0:3:0 sdq 65:0 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:2:0 sdr 65:16 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 0:0:4:0 sdx 65:112 [failed][faulty] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:3:0 sdz 65:144 [failed][faulty]

Replacement tape drive configuration
by Hugh E Cruickshank 28 May '10

28 May '10

CentOS 4.8 Hi All: We recently had a Sony SDX-500V tape drive fail on one of our servers running CentOS 4.8. I have now replaced it with a spare SDX-500C. The problem that I am having now is that the failed drive had ceased responding to SCSI commands and we have since rebooted the system which resulted in the tape drive being removed from our current hardware configuration and the system does not recognize the new tape drive. I know that I can just reboot the system and kudzu will add the tape drive back in during the boot process however I was wondering if it would be possible to manually run kudzu to add the drive or am I just "borrowing trouble" by trying to do this? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

sendmail and relaying
by Jerry Geis 27 May '10

27 May '10

I think my sendmail is not correctly set. It says the default is to disallow relaying. I am running centos 4.8 and I think sendmail is relaying for anything. Based on this: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89f.html#RELAYING I added|: FEATURE(relay_hosts_only) to my sendmail.mc file and restarted sendmail. I am still seeing connects that get relayed and are not in my /etc/mail/access file. Is there something else I am missing? Thanks, |Jerry

Message: 11 Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 16:16:45 -0500 From: Andy Akins <andy(a)egovtn.org> Subject: [CentOS] Having trouble with LDAP Authentication... To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <C821A86D.754B%andy(a)egovtn.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I?ve google and searched, and have had very little luck... I have: 1. Installed all the packages. 2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP. 3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory 4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch 5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication) 6. Added a user using LAM. 7. Confirmed user is in directory. 8. Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd 9. Confirmed using ?getent passwd | grep username? that the user is listed. 10. Confirmed using ?getent passwd? shows two records for each user except ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP). However, ?id username? Returns unknown user <snip> Assuming you have set up both server and client, I would try the following: 1) Don't use nscd until you can confirm basic auth to the Ldap server is working. 2) Enable logging on the Ldap server. Afair, CentOS defaults to loglevel 0, which is no logs. Try something like loglevel 256. 3) Try to authenticate from a client while tailing the server logs. That should give you an idea of whether the client is even reaching the server, and if so what sort of error is occurring. Btw you didn't mention if you were doing Ldap over tls, but that adds another point of failure. See here for a step-by-step test procedure for ssl/tls: http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html Cheers, -- Steve Glasser sgla9347(a)gmail.com

Selinux alerts are in /var/log/audit/audit.log The problem is if smbd doesn't create the messages.tdb file then it won't have the selinux rights. That file can be deleted and will be recreated on smbd start, it's just a cache file. -Ross

Well, after I googled zosremote, and found it's zos-remote, and where its config file was, in /etc/audisp I see: -rw-r----- 1 root root 210 Mar 31 02:26 audispd.conf -rw-r----- 1 root root 620 Mar 31 02:26 audisp-remote.conf drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 May 27 11:42 plugins.d -rw-r----- 1 root root 246 Mar 31 02:26 zos-remote.conf And I *guarantee* I have *never* done anything other than just upgrade this system, and that this system has had selinux disabled all along, so if there are, they were installed with a yum update from whatever the upstream has packaged. mark

Did you create a custom /etc/multipath.conf? You should have. As your device is new and not known with proper defaults by the device-mapper-multipath you will have to set the path_grouping_policy explicitly. devices { device { vendor "SUN" product "Sun Storage 7310" <== REMARK path_grouping_policy failover getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n" features "0" hardware_handler "1 rdac" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry queue rr_min_io 1000 path_checker rdac } } REMARK: to detect the proper product name issue for instance: cat /sys/block/sda/device/model Restart the multipathd after editing the multipath.conf and I expect `multipath -ll" or `multipathd -k"show paths"' will show you the paths correctly weighted. Regards Alexander

Installing from USB flash drive
by Bowie Bailey 27 May '10

27 May '10

I successfully created an install media on a USB flash drive, but now I have a minor problem installing from it. Whenever I run the installer, it insists on installing grub on /dev/sdb (the flash drive) rather than /dev/sda (the hard drive where I'm installing everything). Is there a way to convince the installer to put grub in the right place? Should I just tell it not to install grub and then do a grub-install from a rescue prompt afterwards? -- Bowie

Having trouble with LDAP Authentication...
by Andy Akins 27 May '10

27 May '10

I¹ve google and searched, and have had very little luck... I have: 1. Installed all the packages. 2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP. 3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory 4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch 5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication) 6. Added a user using LAM. 7. Confirmed user is in directory. 8. Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd 9. Confirmed using ³getent passwd | grep username² that the user is listed. 10. Confirmed using ³getent passwd² shows two records for each user except ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP). However, ³id username² Returns unknown user And trying to log in as username at either the terminal or ssh fails, and upon examining the logs, the error message says unknown user. I configured /etc/pam.d/system-auth using authcongfig-tui, adding only the pam_mkhomedir.so line (and I tried it without that line as well). Everything seems right but its not working. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to where I should be looking? If necessary, I¹ll post my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and /etc/nsswitch.conf files I just didn¹t want to send them if not necessary. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
