Centos 5.4 on Acer Aspire One
by Frank Cox 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

I currently have my Acer Aspire One netbook set up with Fedora 11. I would like to change it over to Centos 5.4 if I can. I downloaded the Centos 5.4 i386 livecd image and made a bootable USB flash drive out of it. Unfortunately, when I boot off of that flash drive, Grub (I guess) immediately turns the screen entirely white. If I hit a key I can faintly see the outline of "Press tab to change options" or words to that effect. (It's very faint and hard to read against the white background.) That bit of text rapidly scrolls off of the top of the screen, so I assume that the rest of the boot-up messages are being printed. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-anyFkey does nothing for a while, then every keystroke beeps. I can't get to a text terminal and I never see anything other than a completely white screen. Am I doing something wrong? Fedora 11 works fine on this machine, and I installed that from a livecd. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Getting EXTERN.h, perl.h, etc
by Charles E Campbell Jr 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hello: I have a Fedora Core 11 system at home (Centos 5.2 at work). I'd like to build vim with huge and perl. This works under Centos, but fails at home: no EXTERN.h or perl.h (and, presumably, other things). So: is there a yum package I should be downloading, and if so, which one? (both the home computer and the work computer are 64-bit systems) Thank you, Chip Campbell -- someday I'll have a good signature, I'm sure of it...

I have some batch JOBs migrate from CEBTOS 5.3 to CENTOS 5.4 server. Those batch files start on "#!/bin/csh -v". Those batch files run good under CENTOS 5.3. on CENTOS 5.4 batch jobs still run good but end of batch priocess it will show "history". Does anyone know why?

Kerberos + NFSv4 difficulties
by Dan Burkland 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hey All, I recently have been trying to setup an NFSv4 share that utilizes Kerberos. My experience in general with NFS is very slim however I feel like I am very close to getting this project completed. Currently I have the following things in place: 1) NFS server nfs.example.net (VM#2) - Running CentOS 5.4 with all of the latest updates and NFS-related packages 2) Kerberos KDC running on Kerberos.example.net (VM#1) - Running CentOS 5.4 with all of the latest updates 3) NFS client nfs-client.example.net (VM#3) - Running CentOS 5.4 with all of the latest updates Before I give you the error message I receive when I enable NFS, I'll first describe my setup process. 1) Verified Kerberos works on all machines by attempting a kinit testuser which worked properly. 2) Verified that the clocks on all machines represent the same time (synced using a local NTP server) 3) Created a service principle for nfs.example.net by performing the following commands on the nfs.example.net machine: - (Performed on NFS server) a. kadmin (Logged in as an admin principle) b. addprinc -randkey nfs/nfs.example.net c. ktadd -e des-cbc-crc:normal nfs/nfs.example.net d. quit e. kinit nfs/nfs.example.net -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab f. klist to verify 4) Edited /etc/idmapd.conf with the following changes: - (Performed on NFS server) a. changed Nobody-{User,Group} to nfsnobody b. changed Domain to nfs.example.net 5) Mkdir /nfs/ - (Performed on NFS server) 6) Added the following to /etc/exports - (Performed on NFS server) a. /nfs gss/krb5p(rw,sync,fsid=0) 7) exportfs -rv - (Performed on NFS server) 8) Verified all relevant nfs services were stopped - (Performed on NFS server) 9) Uncommented and made the following changes to /etc/sysconfig/nfs - (Performed on NFS server) a. MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no" b. MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" c. RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3 -U" d. SECURE_NFS = "yes" 10) /etc/init.d/portmap start; /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd start; /etc/init.d/nfs start - (Performed on NFS server) 11) And I receive the following output when the nfs service starts: a. Starting RPC svcgssd: FAILED b. Starting NFS Services: OK c. Starting NFS quotas: OK d. Starting NFS daemon: NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery directory e. NFSD: starting 90-second grace period f. Starting NFS mountd: OK 12) I then checked /var/log/messages to find the following log entries: a. Dec 2 12:16:51 nfs rpc.svcgssd[6018]: ERROR: GSS-API: error in gss_acquire_cred(): Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information - No principal in keytab matches desired name b. Dec 2 12:16:51 nfs rpc.svcgssd[6018]: Unable to obtain credentials for 'nfs' c. Dec 2 12:16:51 nfs rpc.svcgssd[6018]: unable to obtain root (machine) credentials d. Dec 2 12:16:51 nfs rpc.svcgssd[6018]: do you have a keytab entry for nfs/<your.host>@<YOUR.REALM> in /etc/krb5.keytab? I seem to be stuck at this point and would appreciate your insight. Thank you, Dan

Re: [CentOS] Small proxy appliance hardware
by Chuck Munro 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Regarding a small proxy appliance, my thanks to those who responded either on this list or by direct email. We are going to get one of the little Acer AspireRevo 3610 boxes and give it a try. It's small, quiet, runs cool, and has more than enough resources to handle our CentOS proxy application. It's a shame that we have to trash the Windows-7 install (a waste of money) but that's life. The only unanswered question is with regard to an external USB wired network adapter, so we'll have to go by the data on the various manufacturers' web sites about Linux support. Has anyone tried the Belkin USB2/Gbit, the D-Link DUB-E100 or the Linksys USB300M devices? Which adapter chips to they use (in other words, which driver)?

LDAP for central authentication?
by Scott Ehrlich 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I have the following on a network: 1) RHEL 5.0 Server acting as NIS and Samba domain controller 2) CentOS 5.x machines on NIS network 3) Win XP machines on Samba domain When I create an account for someone, I need to first type adduser new_person -d /home/new_person then passwd new_person, then cd /var/yp and make. Then smbpasswd -a new_person. Thus, two different databases. On another network, I have separate XP and Linux (CentOS 5.x, RHEL 5.x, and Suse) systems. No Samba, no NIS. Can I still set up a central LDAP directory for a single account database? For the NIS+Samba case, can I merge both credential files into a central database using LDAP? I would also want to control password length, complexity, aging, and other things. What is the best way to do this? Thanks. Scott

Fedora 11 i386 Evolution address book --> CentOS 5.4 x86_64
by David McGuffey 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Finally moved my home desktop from Fedora to CentOS. My spouse was unhappy with me upgrading from F9-->F10-->f11 etc and wanted something more stable. I built a second machine which is now running in parallel to the old F11 desktop. I moved my data (mail and files) from the F11 box to the CentOS 5.4 box. I used tar to move everything. Mail and files transferred A-OK...but the Evolution address book did not. Any tips on getting the old /home/.../.evolution/addressbook which worked with the version of Evolution on the new machine with an older version of Evolution? BTW, on CentOS, I cannot add new addresses to the address book. User_id on the new machine is the same as on the old machine, so perms should not be the problem. I checked the selinux context and it is the same as everything else in /home If I do a forced reinstall of Evolution would it mess up the mail files? DaveM

RIPd not announcing routes (CentOS 5.4)
by Timo Schoeler 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, yesterday I sent this eMail to quagga mailing list, however I didn't receive an answer yet. Unfortunately, I really need this stuff running or have to switch to another strategy achieving the goals. Maybe one of you has some experience on this topic and can shed some light on it -- I really appreciate it. - -----8<-----8<-----8<----- I have a setup here that requires me to announce dynamic route that are created (within some virtual machines) on my CentOS-based machine.

Now, the problem is that it seems to distribute its routes (as my Cisco network guy told me), but it does not learn the routes announced by the (Cisco) neighbours: The speaks to a bunch of Cisco routers (which do, among OSPF and BGP routing, redistriubution of lots of stuff via RIPv2, which should feed my machines).

(re)load new kernel with rebooting host node?
by Rudi Ahlers 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi all, Is it possible to reload the dom0 / host node's kernel with a newer one, without rebooting the server? I know kexec can do something like this for security patches, but I don't know much about kexec, and I don't want to mess up a production server either. So, has anyone done something like this before? I need to load a new kernel for one of the domU's iptables to work, but don't want to reboot the whole server and cause downtime for the other domU's. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

CentOS 5.3 - changing display settings
by Andrew 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on my desktop and need to change the installed display setting from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 (more suitable for my monitor). When I try this on the Display Settings tab, I get the message: "Display settings changed You need to log out and restart the X server for the changes to take effect. Configuration was written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, original configuration saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup." Trouble is, I don't know how to restart the X server apart from rebooting the computer, but that has no effect and the display settings remain unchanged! Any help appreciated, Andy

Small proxy appliance hardware
by Chuck Munro 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I need to configure a small proxy appliance which doesn't require a lot of CPU power. I'm looking for any warnings this group may have regarding CentOS-5 on the following: - Acer AspireRevo 3610 (Atom CPU) - Dell Inspiron 537s (Celeron) - Any other small machines you might recommend (UL approved) I need to implement dual NICs, and for the Dell it should be no problem finding a low-profile 3Com or Intel adapter, but for the Acer I'll need to use one of those USB wired network dongle things. Does anyone have recommendations for a USB dongle that is fully automatic (regarding speed and duplex negotiation) supported by CentOS? Gigabit speed is not required. Any other compatibility issues with the above machines? Normally I'd simply build something from components and squeeze it into a small box, but in this case I need something with UL/CSA/CE approvals, which lets out homebrew hardware. Many thanks in advance!

Tomcat authentication via PAM (or other system methods)?
by Les Mikesell 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Is there a way to coax java services running under tomcat to use the system authentication methods set up through PAM? In my case, this would be users in the local passwd file or through smb to a windows domain. I've added mod_auth_pam to get this effect with apache but would like to also handle java web services. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

(HOWTO) Crypto root with the LUKS key on a USB stick
by Devin Reade 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I've written up a document on how to have whole-disk encryption (minus /boot) while having your LUKS key on a USB stick. (Whether or not this is a good idea depends on your usage model, and I won't get into that). The document is at <http://www.gno.org/~gdr/sysadmin/centos/5.4/usb-crypto-key.html> and is targetted at CentOS 5.4. It supersedes my howto for crypto root (for interactive boot or USB sticks) for CentOS 5.1 - 5.3 (the old links are on that page). If anyone has feedback on it, feel free to contact me privately.

Autofs cannot bind LDAP server
by Eric B. 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, I'm using Autofs and LDAP for mounting my home directories via nfs. In general, everything seems to work fine. However, I have one small problem. If I reboot my server using autofs while my LDAP server is down, I get the following error message in my logs: automount[3358]: bind_ldap_anonymous: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP server which is understandable, since my ldap server is temporarily down. My problem, however, is that once my ldap server is back up, autofs never seems to retry to connect to it, so all my /home mounts fail. Basically, it means I have to make sure that my LDAP server is never down while another server is rebooting. I figure there must be something in the configuration file that would allow me to tweak this to indicate to autofs to recheck the ldap server periodically to see if it has come back up, but can't seem to find anything. My /etc/sysconfic/autofs file is pretty plain: # TIMEOUT - set the default mount timeout (default 600). # TIMEOUT=300 # LOGGING - set default log level "none", "verbose" or "debug" # LOGGING="verbose" # Other common LDAP nameing # MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="automountMap" ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="automount" MAP_ATTRIBUTE="ou" ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="cn" VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="automountInformation" Is there anything I can do to force autofs to check to see if my LDAP server is back online? Thanks, Eric

Samsung M800

non-threaded perl no longer in .spec file
by Kurt Hansen 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hello, I'm setting up a new server on 5.4 and noticed this in the perl.spec file: * Mon Jul 21 2008 Stepan Kasal - 4:5.8.8-14.el5 - add two patches, which... - Resolves: #435505, #431041 - remove %%define threading, the non-threading variant is not supported, Related: 435376 That comment wasn't there when I set up a server on 5.2 a few months back and the %define threading option was still in the perl.spec file, making it easy for me to create my own non-threaded perl. I want a non-threaded perl because the mod_perl folks say that the performance is better on a non-threaded perl. I believe I can compare the spec files and figure out where to edit the new spec file, but I wondered about that "not supported" comment. Is there something "bad" about the non-threading variant? Thanks! Take care, Kurt Hansen khansen(a)charityweb.net

ldapsearch -f file doesn't work

Hi, Firstly, system info: Linux mysystem 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 00:45:55 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I am running ldap on Centos with packages openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 y openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 I'd want to perform a query that return one attribute. So I did something as follows: ldapsearch -W -f qbis.ldif -D "cn=Manager,dc=palermo,dc=edu" -b "ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=edu" -x legajo (Where legajo is the filter) There is no problem with filter but wih the file "qbis.ldif" which contains: dn: uid=jdoe,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=edu Of course I could perform that query with no need of one file, but I need to get "legajo" from around 800 users so it would be nice to be able to use "-f file". I cannot do something like a "loop for" because it would ask me every time the Manager password. Am I doing something wrong or is a ldap bug?

Hi folks I have here a CentOS box where i need to setup cronjob (with session to remote Oracle instance). On the remote DB i have no access, expect limited user. How to avoid putting passwords in shell scripts? The solution doesn't need to be perfect, only better than plain text passwords in scripts.

/etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check
by Farkas Levente 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

hi, it's been a few weeks since rhel/centos 5.4 released and there were many discussion about this new "feature" the weekly raid partition check. we've got a lot's of server with raid1 system and i already try to configure them not to send these messages, but i'm not able ie. i already add to the SKIP_DEVS all of my swap partitions (since i read it on linux-kernel list that there can be mismatch_cnt even though i still not understand why?). but even the data partitions (ie. all of my servers all raid1 partitions) produce this error (ie. ther mismatch_cnt is never 0 at the weekend). and this cause all of my raid1 partitions are rebuild during the weekend. and i don't like it:-( so my questions: - is it a real bug in the raid1 system? - is it a real bug in my disk which runs raid (not really believe since it's dozens of servers)? - the /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check is wrong in rhel/centos-5.4? or what's the problem? can someone enlighten me? thanks in advance. regards. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

OT: iscsi target bind to two addresses?
by Gordon McLellan 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Does anyone know off hand how to bind iscsi enterprise target to two distinct addresses. Lets say I have a machine that has a bunch of interfaces on it, with different subnets. Rather than have ietd broadcast itself on all interfaces (the default), I would like to limit it to only two interfaces. I have edited the init.d startup script with --address x.x.x.x which works, but I tried using the --address argument twice, and the second time is ignored. I also tried x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y which also failed, second address was ignored. I'm thinking I could use ip tables to block ietd's ports on the unwanted interfaces but that seems like overkill. Thanks - Gordon

I couldn't access this one and only share on this server with guest access from either my Windows laptop (XP Pro SP3) or a Leopard server (10.5.8) so I changed the settings to use user authentication and added my local user details (this is a stand alone file server with one user and the root user running CentOS 5.4). I made sure I hadn't put the entries in iptables incorrect by stopping iptables (sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop, which executed just fine). SELinux kept popping up so I disabled that and restarted the server also. So now with no iptables nor SELinux enabled flicking between guest and user access I still can't access the share (I have also tried authenticating as root to no avail), my Windows and Mac test machines are erroring out saying they don't have permissions to access the share (I am an administrator on both machines so its not a local permissions issue). There are no firewall restrictions between my test machines and the CentOS server as I would even get prompted for authentication so that's not a problem and my test machines work fine because I can mount smb shares on other files servers in the same subnet as the CentOS server, what's going on?

Change system-wide default configuration for FF and OO with /etc/skel
by Niki Kovacs 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, I'm using a heavily tweaked CentOS 5.4 for desktop installs (here's what it looks like: http://www.microlinux.fr/captures.html) For every app I install, I try to configure a sensible default configuration system-wide for all users. For example, once I found a nice configuration for XMMS (default skin, loads of plugins, orange On Screen Display in a nice font, etcetera), I put my whole ~/.xmms in /etc/skel, so that every new user on the system will have the same default configuration. I have a script which does that for most of the applications I install for users. Even my GNOME desktop is heavily tweaked, and similarly, there's a default /etc/skel/.gconf for this. Now I have two annoyances remaining: Firefox and OpenOffice.org. When installing both of these (Firefox from the CentOS repos, OpenOffice.org from the RPMS contained in openoffice.org's tarball), the default configuration for each one (in ~/.mozilla and ~/.openoffice.org) takes no less than 3 MB, which I find a bit puzzling. Since I keep all my default configurations in an SVN tree, I find this a bit heavy. For Firefox, I only change a couple of options (like "Close download manager after finishing downloading" and "always ask where to store a file"). Similarly, for OpenOffice.org, I change things like auto-completion (so users won't call me on a sunday morning asking "Why does it try to finish my sentences?"). I guess the "real" configuration must be some small plain text file. But then, where? Is there a way not to upload the whole 3 MB of configuration? Cheers, Niki

Repository for clean and safe installation of python2.6 (and other python-software)
by Bernhard Gschaider 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi! I want to test some software on my CentOS 5 machine that is not too happy with the system python (2.4). So when I install a python to my machines I want it to be a) clean: in other words it should be a RPM b) safe: it should not remove the system-python (in order not to break the system-scripts in subtle ways) but be accessible for instance as python2.6 (while python would still be python2.4) I've looked around (even other places than the usual suspects RPMforge and EPEL) for repositories that could have such packages. Before I start rolling my own RPMs: is anyone aware of a repository that has such packages? (an added bonus would be if it had RPMs of PyQt4, I didn't find those for Centos or RHEL, too) Bernhard

NetworkManager constantly overwriting /etc/resolve.conf - how to disable?
by Rudi Ahlers 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi all, I have a CentOS 5.4 server-only installation, i.e. no X installed, and for some odd reason /etc/resolve.conf gets overwritten by NetworkManager on a constant basis. I haven't been able to track down how often, but I think it's on the hour, or something. This is the conents of the file right now: # Generated by NetworkManager # No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your # ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so: # # DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com So, I change it to the following: nameserver 192.168.1.254, save it, and all network functions work fine. But, later on it get's changed again. Running "system-config-network", I can see that the nameserver that I have specified is in there, yet it doesn't show up in /etc/resolve.conf. I have searched a bit on google, but all the results reveal how to use NetworkManager to setup the nameservers, but now how it get's set automatically. Why does this happen, and how do I stop it from happening? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

AIDE or OSSEC on CentOS 5.4 x86_64?
by David McGuffey 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Starting with a fresh load and after I finish hardening the load following the Center for Internet Security (CIS) guidance, I'm wondering whether AIDE or OSSEC would be a better intrusion detection system. I installed AIDE and did a quick test of AIDE and after initializing the db and applying the recent cups update, I found that 1700+ files had changed. Those are a lot of changes to wade through to determine if they are legit or not. If that is all that AIDE can do, then it is not "manageable." Seems to me that any IDS must be tied to the yum update process so that one is not dealing with hundreds/thousands of changes that were brought in by a yum update that I choose to apply. Is OSSEC any less noisy? DaveM

again, nic driver order
by Gordon McLellan 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

I have two servers with identical hardware ... TYAN i3210w system boards with dual intel gigabit interfaces, and a PCI intel gigabit nic. I'm running Centos 5.4, x86_64, 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 Every other time I reboot, the nics initialize in a different order. anaconda had setup /etc/modprobe.conf with alias lines for the cards: alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 e1000e alias eth2 e1000e However, introducing the bonding driver into the mix seems to have thrown a wrench in the works. alias bond0 bonding options bond0 miimon=80 mode=5 #or something like that, can't get to the machine right now - no console and the network is down So, I read about the ifcfg options and try assigning each config script an HWADDR line. after rebooting, /var/log/messages announces that hardware address for eth1 does not match, skipping ... same for eth2 Reading the archives seems to indicate modprobe.conf doesn't do much and is made obsolete by udev, and that hwaddr is discouraged because it's a band-aid. The archives seem to suggest fiddling with udev to be the answer. So I modify /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net (or something) and add a few rules found in an ancient example (those aren't my mac addresses): KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}=="00:37:e9:17:64:af", NAME="eth0" # MAC of first NIC in lowercase KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}=="00:21:e9:17:64:b5", NAME="eth1" # MAC of second NIC in lowercase Now, all three network cards get assigned as eth0! eth1 and eth2 are no longer found. The pci-express nics (onboard) get detected first, and the pci nic is last, so it ends up "owning" the eth0 alias. I don't really care which alias gets assigned to which nic, but I want that assignment to be constant. All suggestions are appreciated! Gordon

SNAT question
by Peter Peltonen 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi, I am unable to get my LAN masqueraded using SNAT with CentOS 5.3 and iptables. I have the following setup: eth0: connects to internet with static public IP 1.2.3.1 (obscured here for privacy) eth1: connects to DMZ with static public IP 1.2.3.2 (obscured here for privacy) eth2: connects to LAN with static private IP 192.168.0.1 Traffic to hosts in the DMZ/Internet through eth0/1 work fine. I tried masqueradig the LAN with following: ptables -A FORWARD -i eth2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 1.2.3.1 After this I can ssh to a server in the Internet from the LAN using the server's IP address but not its name. The w command on the server tells me that my address has not been masqueraded (its 192.168.0.2, the LAN client's private IP). What am I doing wrong? Best, Peter
