Best way to backup and entire machine??
by John Plemons 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

I want to mirror a Centos box, not having done this before, I'm looking for guidance. What is the best way to perform this task, I have a running webserver, a single external IP address to the website, and wanted to protect myself should the server go down. My though would be a mirror of that webserver, running in background, if the main server dies, then just move the mirror in place, change the IP and go on... Limiting down time... John Plemons

program to hide X11 windows
by Jerry Geis 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

hi all I am looking for a program that will "hide" a window when it opens under X11. There is a program called devilspie but it requires gnome-panel to be running to work. On some of my workstations I dont have gnome-panel running. So I was wondering if there is a program like devilspie that does not require gnome-panel to be running to hide a program window. The window I am trying to hide is the openoffice impress window that edits the power point. I just want to show the power point. is there such a program or is there a better method to not show the edit window on impress and just show the power point. Thanks Jerry

However, this guy hasn't been on this system most of the time I've tried to find this error. Based on that, it's got to be somewhere in a *system* file, not in a home directory, yet it complains: gdm-simple-greeter[2361]: GLib-GIO-WARNING: Missing callback called fullpath = /home/<username>/.face#012 Now, I found /var/lib/gdm, and have looked under .config, .gconf, and .gconfd, and not found it. I have also killed the simple greeter, and it respawned, and started griping again. So, where is it storing this, and, more important, *WHY* is it caching this? Ideally, I'd like to not only clear whatever's causing it now, but also change the relevant system configuration file so that it doesn't happen again. mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hello, I'm running pure-ftpd on a centos 5.3 machine. I'm encountering a situation where i need to get log reports of user logins and logouts and tracking the files got, atempted anonymous user logins those should preferably go in to a firewall rule block list, and atempted hack ins, same thing as anonymous user logins. Can anyone suggest a package for creating and then emailing say 3 to 4 times a day reports of activity? Thanks. Dave.

XEN and PCIPassthru
by janezkosmr 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

I have an old windows NT machine, that I would like to virtualize under CentOS and xen. The problem is, that the machine has an old PCI card that is used for some sensor control. I tried to google the topic, but there isn't any useful tutorial, how to do this under CentOS. What I found out is, that I need a machine that supports the Intel VT-d technology and at least XEN 3.3. Does someone on this list have any real world experience with this?

Xen Kernel 2.6.18-164 and Hypervisor 3.3.1 problem.
by Ian Murray 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi, I just upgraded the my Dom0 kernel on my Xen machine and it failed to boot. The hypervisor itself comes from the Gitco repository. I couldn't catch the exact reason, other than it said something about no proper root and failing to synch. It rebooted a second or so later and I can't seem to find the relevant log. As I learned from the other thread this is an early release of the kernel. Should I wait until the rest of the release catches up before trying to resolve this, or should I try now? Should I treat it as a Xen issue or a CentOS issue. The system boots fine on the non-Xen variant of the kernel and fin in the previous kernel Thanks in advance, Ian.

Confusion about 32 vs 64 bit jre
by MHR 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

I ran a yum update yesterday and got the new kernel and other goodies, and I've rebooted and all seems to be well. Except, I just tried to run Firefox for the first time, and it wants a new jre (6.16). Now that's fine, except that I have a recollection of needing the 32-bit jre the last time I did this, but that's not working. I'm pulling down the 64-bit version, but I'm wondering if I need both, which, IIRC, does not work, or which one of the two? (I _am_ running the x86_64 OS and most apps.) What bothers me is that I've tried both, and apparently neither one works (!!!!). I installed by downloading the bin file (self-extracting rpm), and then running the bin with sudo. Where did I go wrong? mhr

No login with kernel 2.6.18-164.el5
by Olaf Mueller 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hello, since kernel 2.6.18-164.el5 no user could login any more from nfs client into his home directory on nfs server. The kde error message is: "The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: Writing to $HOME directory (/home/<USER>) failed with the error 'Permission denied' KDE is unable to start." /home is exported with nfs4 (gss/krb5), the password is delivered by nis. Everything works fine if I reboot the nfs server into the previous kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5. Then it is completely irrelevant which kernel version the client has. So /home export by nfs4 works for client with kernel versions 2.6.18-164.el5 and 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5. If the nfs server runs under kernel 2.6.18-164.el5, the error messages for the user login process are (names for user, client and domain are replaced): /var/log/messages Sep 16 15:54:13 <NFS_CLIENT> gdm[3122]: run_session_child: »~/.xsession-errors« konnte nicht geöffnet werden Sep 16 15:55:02 <NFS_CLIENT> ntpd[2674]: synchronized to 192.168.0.1, stratum 14 Sep 16 15:57:14 <NFS_CLIENT> gdm[3122]: run_session_child: »~/.xsession-errors« konnte nicht geöffnet werden /var/log/secure Sep 16 15:57:14 <NFS_CLIENT> gdm[3122]: pam_unix(gdm:session): session opened for user <USER> by (uid=0) Sep 16 15:57:14 <NFS_CLIENT> sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=<USER> Sep 16 15:57:14 <NFS_CLIENT> sudo: pam_krb5[7339]: authentication fails for '<USER>' (<USER>@<DOMAIN>): Authentication failure (Decrypt integrity check failed) Strange files under /home/$USER: ---xrw--wT 1 <USER> <USER> 0 Jan 17 2038 SskWxq ---------- 1 <USER> <USER> 0 Jan 17 2038 .xsession-errors The following user processes are running on login error: startkde ssh-agent dbus-launch dbus-daemon kdeinit dcopserver klauncher kded kcminit_startup kwrapper ksmserver regards Olaf

[Found] CentOS is dead, long live CentOS
by David Suhendrik 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

The sound is bad, / Lance vanished from the project some time in 2008. Everybody needs time off from projects from time to time, so there was no real need to worry about that. What there was to worry about is the following: Lance is the only one, who can make active changes to the centos.org domain, as he “owns it”. Nobody else in the team is able to add nameservers, for instance. Recently he put an anonymizing service on the domain, so that nobody from the outside can see who that domain belongs to. / So sad...... -- Regards, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ./nobody

sadc output to a circular file of given size?
by Alan McKay 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hey folks, We have Munin set up for longer term performance monitoring stuff, and it has been extremely useful to us for what it does. However, it is hard coded to poll systems at 5 minute intervals, which of course proves not to be so useful when you have to dig down into more detail on something. What we typically do for load tests where we need more detail, is run this command : /usr/lib64/sa/sadc -d -I -F 2 /var/log/foo/bar Which of course logs data every 2 seconds. We now have a problem with our PostgreSQL server and want to set something up to record sadc data more frequently than the 1 minute limitation of cron. Though 2 seconds is probably a bit much, we are thinking more like 5 or 10 seconds. So the above command would be ideal. Except ... what if it fills up the disk? I looked at the man page and do not see any obvious way to get it to write out to a file of given size, and just keep overwriting the oldest data in that file. That way would could pre-allocate a big file of a given size, and be able to store the last X minutes of sadc data. So when the PG system crashes again (sigh), we can review the data for the last X minutes before the crash. One solution I could think of is if there is some kind of filesystem to implement this sort of circular file. Any ideas? Any other obvious solution I am missing? I can think of ways to do the next best thing in a script e.g. alternate between two files and switch back and forth programmatically. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Bind 9.3.4-10.P1.el5_3.3 check-names and underscores
by John Clement 17 Sep '09

Updating old CentOS 4 DNS servers to CentOS 5, one of our zones has a number of entries with underscores in. Starting named results in the following error and named refusing to start. masters/example.com.db:33: mail_server.example.com: bad owner name (check-names) I've tried including check-names master ignore; in the options but this isn't making any difference. I've read a lot of debate on whether underscores should be allowed, but for the time being we're stuck with these entries so I need to get this working. Any thoughts? Thanks, jc

problem installing CentOS 5.3

I did visit the link and found what I interpreted as a replacement iso for the first disk of 4. Did I misinterpret something ? I downloaded disks 2 through 4 from the Ga. Tech mirror and burned them as well, all apparently without error. However, when I attempted to run a media check from "i586 text nousb" the first disk passed but the others resulted in "unable to find install image on /tmp/cdrom" (or something close to that, I am quoting from memory). I looked at the disks and they appear to be OK, and I burned them with the same commands I used for disk 1. Does this mean I needed to gets disks 2 through 4 elsewhere ? Only disk 1 of the set was on the link I visited. Another question, and perhaps I need to google this more but thought I'd ask: On the system I am trying to install this I already have on hda msdos and RH9. I have a large disk on hdc, however, with lots of free space. It appeared that by telling the installation program to use only hdc I could successfully put CentOS there, but when it came time to tell grub what other systems to boot I it recognized dos on hda1, but I could find no way to add RH9 on hda2. It seemed that I was limited to only two operating systems. Is there a way around this ? (If not I intend to physically swap the hard disks and just install on the new hda, keeping stuff on the old hdc for reference). But if it is possible to keep the two existing systems on hda and put CentOS on hdc, and have grub on the mbr of hda control the boot I'd like to do that. Thanks, Buz Davis

Dependency problem between cman and openais with last cman update
by Miguel Sanchez 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi. Today I have updated my cluster installation with the version cman-2.0.115-1 through yum update. When I have started the cman service , it fails. If I execute cman_tool debug I get the following error : [CMAN ] CMAN 2.0.115 (built Sep 16 2009 12:28:10) started aisexec: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/lcrso/service_cman.lcrso: undefined symbol: openais_shutdown_errorstring_register cman_tool: Cannot open connection to cman, is it running ? My openais version is openais-0.80.3-22.el5_3.9. Their sources don't have that function defined. Searching through Redhat's source tree, I have discovered an openais-0.80.2-1.el5.src.rpm packet. I don't know whether this version belongs to Redhat 5.3 or 5.4 release, but the function openais_shutdown_errorstring_register is defined here. I can return to previous version of cman, but I'd like know whether this problem will be solved for CentOS 5.3 or I'll have to wait for CentOS 5.4 with a new openais version.

multipath using defaults rather than multipath.conf contents for some devices (?) - why ?
by McCulloch, Alan 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

hi all We have a rh linux server connected to two HP SAN controllers, one an HSV200 (on the way out), the other an HSV400 (on the way in). (Via a Qlogic HBA). /etc/multipath.conf contains this : device { vendor "(COMPAQ|HP)" product "HSV1[01]1|HSV2[01]0|HSV300|HSV4[05]0" getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_alua /dev/%n" hardware_handler "0" path_selector "round-robin 0" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry 18 rr_min_io 100 path_checker tur } - but our actual multipathing as shown by multipath -ll , and multipath -ll -v 3 looks as though for the HSV400 it is using the defaults rather than these settings. The defaults are #defaults { # udev_dir /dev # polling_interval 10 # selector "round-robin 0" # path_grouping_policy multibus # getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" # prio_callout /bin/true # path_checker readsector0 # rr_min_io 100 # rr_weight priorities # failback immediate # no_path_retry fail # user_friendly_name yes and multipath -ll reports : . . [snip other HSV400 paths - all similar] mpath12 (3600508b40007518f0000900000520000) dm-1 HP,HSV400 [size=150G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 0:0:5:9 sdab 65:176 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 0:0:3:9 sdn 8:208 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 0:0:4:9 sdu 65:64 [active][ready] mpath11 (3600508b40007518f0000700000370000) dm-6 HP,HSV200 [size=200G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=50][active] \_ 0:0:1:7 sdd 8:48 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=10][enabled] \_ 0:0:2:7 sdh 8:112 [active][ready] . . [snip other HSV200 paths - all similar] multipath -ll -v 3 includes explicit statements that defaults are being used for the HSV400 (long output snipped...) sdaa: path checker = readsector0 (config file default) versus sda: path checker = tur (controller setting) sdx: getprio = NULL (internal default) versus sdd: getprio = /sbin/mpath_prio_alua %n (controller setting) - furthermore we see in the log file messages from both readsector0 *and* tur rather than just tur if the correct settings were used , which also backs that up. My questions are basically - why is it happening , and how to fix it ? The vendor and product regexps definitely do match both "HSP" and both "HSV200" and "HSV400" respectively so it doesn't seem that fiddling with the patterns will work , and I'm sure this config has been tested. Its not due to this server having to deal with two controllers - we have a second server that only mounts from the HSV400, and its multipath settings appear to be entirely the defaults, and not what we have set. (And conversely, its not due to the conf file not being read at all - since the server with two controllers is using the correct config for one of them , but not the other.) thanks for any tips and I will summarise.

pkcs#11, openssl, etc
by John R Pierce 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

anyone know anything about using openssl 0.9.7b in EL4 w/ pkcs#11 supported smartcard/etokens? I need to figure out how to set this up so a webclient application can use token based certificate with a https connection to the tomcat xmlrpc server with a minimum of fuss. the actual client app is in python but will be using m2Crypto which in turn uses openssl. i CAn find lots on login w/ tokens, and web browser with tokens, but very few clues about doing this with openssl. supposedly the hardware token support was a patch/hack for openssl 0.9.6 and is an available compile option in .7b which is what EL4 uses... I've searched upstream's KB without finding anything useful...

rpm corrupted, ftp server?
by Dave 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hello, I'm running pure-ftpd 1.21-16 on centos 5.3. A user sent me some files, some rpms and a few patch files. The rpms do not show up right, they record as data rather than rpm or tar or zip or whatever. I am not certain if it's pure-ftpd corrupting these files, the patches showed up empty and i was assured everything was working on the other end, or if the user uploaded binary files in ascii. If the latter can i fix them? If the former any suggestions? Thanks. Dave.

Hi, I have problem with a Centos 5.3 computer. The networking is very slow. The networking card is a RealTek 1GigE.

bind dns help?
by Roland Roland 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hello, I've recently inherited a network with bind dns already set in it.. the thing is, the previous admin added our networks "domain" as our default company's website.. lets say "abcd.com" first of all, I'm a complete newbie with DNS under linux so I've sruggled my way and finally landed on webmin that helps me out in adding local dns records. though the problem occurs whenever there's a url on our website that needs to be accessed... let me explain.. a.. I can browse to abcd.com b.. I can browse to local.abcd.com c.. but I cannot access public.abcd.com as the dns search for "public" under it's records and it cannot find it.. how can I solve this? changing the domain is in no way possible, as there's almost 200 virtual host setup in my local network.. so I need a quick solution for this.. any advice? PS: if any of you can guide me to a good DNS under centos tutorial I'll appreciate it

FYI: Why is NFS slower on EL5 than EL4?
by Ross Walker 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

For those who have wondered why NFS on EL5 is slower than on EL4 I provide these links for your edification. http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15355 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448130 Problem is kernel threads cannot create or assign an io context as there is no api in the kernel available to do so, so each is given a different context and there is an 8ms latency between switching contexts. The knowledge base article recommends disabling this latency to get around it, but in doing that you might as well just use the deadline scheduler. Some other interesting tidbits for those using NFS. NFS with many nfsd threads will create a lot of file system fragments when writing large files. XFS does have the advantage of a defragger (I hope some smart person will develop one for ext2/3/4), but I am still looking for a better way to protect against fragmentation then running a defragger, so if anyone has an alternative I'm all ears. Another hint for those using NFS with ESX, make sure your vmdk partitions are 4k aligned or there is a serious performance penalty as 2 reads for each write will happen if the io request stradles a page boundary. This is more serious for random io than sequential, but both are effected. To give an example, my NFS storage with write-back cache was only able to do 1MB/s (4k direct io 4 outstanding) on a non-aligned partition, on an aligned partition I was able to get 13MB/s with the same workload. That's 13x improvement. For Linux you can use fdisk/sfdisk to start your first partition on sector 64 instead of the default 63. On Windows use diskpart to create a partition that is aligned on a given offset. -Ross

Centos 5.3 Kernel panic with fuse and glusterfs.
by Tom O'Connor 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi List, We currently have a very irritating problem with Centos 5.3 x86_64 running on a Dell Poweredge SC1435. The problem is this: We are experiencing frequent kernel panics while using glusterfs and Fuse. Across the cluster of servers, we are experiencing roughly 1 panic every 1-2 days. This wasn't a problem with earlier servers where we used Fedora 6. Here's a kernel panic screenshot: http://imagehost.gr/images/c5ad2d5jzgpgoq91v24y.png Here's some general info: Linux server6 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 7 10:35:59 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Using: fuse-2.7.4-8_10.el5 fuse-kmdl-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5-2.7.4-8_10.el5 fuse-libs-2.7.4-8_10.el5 glusterfs-common-2.0.1-1.el5 glusterfs-client-2.0.1-1.el5 glusterfs-server-2.0.1-1.el5 I've straced glusterfs while it dies, and there's nothing seriously spurious, just it stops working as soon as the kernel locks up. A little background, Gluster is used to share some directories which are used by apache to serve files from. I've managed to replicate the live environment inside a virtual machine, and also to replicate the kernel panic by loading the virtual machine's apache with ApacheBench, at as few as 3 concurrent requests, the kernel locks up. However, i have been unable to reproduce this exact behavior on the live cluster, and have tried up to 10,000 concurrent requests which max out the network more than anything. I've tried latest versions of gluster and fuse from development snapshots and stable releases, I've tried patched versions of fuse released by Gluster. Nothing seems to improve this problem. If anyone has any ideas for further debugging, or other routes for support. I'm running out of ideas. Thanks in advance Tom O'Connor -- Tom O'Connor -------------------------- Assanka: Every possibility w: http://www.assanka.net/ t: 0870 085 2038 f: 0871 433 0919 e: tom.oconnor(a)assanka.net

Install CentOS on Partition(!)-images as a Xen-guest
by Bernhard Gschaider 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi! Some weeks ago the "Running Xen"-book was recommended to me on this list. A nice book, but it gave me crazy idea: One of the recommendations (which sounds very reasonable to me) was to have instead of a single file that serves as a disk-image to have to files: one of them (which is mounted to hda1) serves as a partition that holds the data, the other one (which mounts to hda2) is the swap partition. The text in the books (admittedly it's a bit vague there) lead me to the conclusion that to the Xen-machine they will look like two partitions of a single drive hda. The advantage should be that it is much easier to extend the data partition (Take the machine offline. Extend the image with dd. Extend the filesystem on the image) I created the two files as described in book. "Formatted" them with mkswap and mkfs.ext3 (as described in the book) and added them to the configuration file for the host. Now when I start the installation of the host machine right in the beginning I get a message "/dev/hda1 has a loop partition layout. To use this disk for the installation of CentOS it must be initialized". When I don't allow formatting I get caught in a loop ("Is a loop partition. Initialize?"), when I allow formatting I get a partition on each of the devices (hda11 and hda21) and I would be allowed to go on with the installation, but IMHO this would defeat the purpose of the exercise So my question: - is there some error in thinking on my side? - is this a situation that the installer can't deal with? (in other words: would it work if I copied a complete installation into the root partition-image and then booted that?) - or is there a reason that using partition images is not very popular (Googling around did not reveal anything useful) Bernhard

Simple web server with Apache: web page permissions ?
by Niki Kovacs 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi, I'm currently sinking my teeth into the fine "Definitive Guide to CentOS". Right now I'm reading the chapter about Apache. One thing puzzles me: no mention is made of web page permissions. Let's say I'm using Apache's default configuration for setting up the most simple no-frills web server, e. g. no virtual hosts, only a series of static HTML pages in /var/www/html. Q: what permissions should I define for these pages? I remember having setup some web servers on Debian, and the tradition was that everything under /var/www/html (as in this example) was to be owned by user www-data and group www-data. What's the "tradition" with RHEL/CentOS? Cheers, Niki

Centos 5.4 'prerelease-access' - is there such a thing?
by Peter l Jakobi 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi, excluding the Frankengrade from CENTOS5.3 to upstream RHEL5.4, is there are procedure / repository access / nightly builds / ... to what will be CENTOS 5.4? URLs? Howtos? Discussion threads or notes? I checked help, wiki and forums and google, but came up empty. Of course, this kind of use is depending on the way the new upstream RHEL sources are processed, so maybe there won't be a complete set of packages at all until maybe one or two weeks before the release. But again I got no lucky search hits for this kind of internals either. I'll gladly collect and summarize for a (hopefully easier locatable) wiki-page to be :). cu, Peter -- cu Peter l Jakobi lists(a)kefk.oa.shuttle.de

SUMMARY : Repair Filesystem prompt , after inode has illegal blocks ; qla2xxx message on reboot
by McCulloch, Alan 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

hi All, thanks for the responses. After being dropped into the # Filesystem repair prompt, ( on account of "inode 27344909 has illegal blocks" ) following warm reboot (via "reboot") after finding (SAN ) filesystem in read-only mode yesterday morning (possibly because of HBA fault on SAN) , I ran fsck -r /data (Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 , Red Hat 4.1.2-42 , ext3 filesystem) This took a couple of hours or so , prompting me for various changes all of which I accepted. This appeared to complete OK, but then the system would not boot, with the following error from the qla2xxx driver. . . qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occurred. Scheduling ISP abort. qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occurred. Scheduling ISP abort. . etc However after powering down the system and cold-booting, the system was able to boot up and mount the repaired filesystem without any obvious damage, but with abnormal not to mention scary looking boot messages and ongoing warnings from multipath. This morning (as I sort of expected) the filesystem had dropped back down to read-only mode, but meanwhile the source of our woes was identified, a fibre port on the SAN controller which was degraded but not completely failed, so that there had been no clean failover to the twin controller, and therefore a degraded virtual device was presented to the O/S, with consequence for the filesystem. After that port and controller was quarantined, this time around I did a cold power-off reboot of the server , and this time there was a more normal looking boot and the filesystem came up normally without any repair being requested. (My hypothesis is that in this situation - i.e. ext3 filesystem has put itself in read-only mode - a warm boot , via reboot, does not cleanly remount the filesystem and apply the journal quite like a cold power-off reboot does. I think it is likely that the lengthy session of me answering "yes" to fsck's interactive repair, the first time around, simply applied all of the fixes that would automatically have been done from the journal , had I cold-rebooted in the first place. However that is only a hunch. But I will be making sure to do cold power-off reboots in general, in future.) Another lesson is that a sophisticated system of twin SAN controllers with failover does not protect against a situation where a device is degrading rather than failing completely. Thanks again for the responses and sorry if my questions were a bit basic but I have been dropped in a little out of my depth with this system.

"Point Releases" Question
by Jorge Fábregas 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello everyone, Let say 5.4 goes out today; If I fully update (today) my 5.2 system...will it be equivalent to 5.4 (all RPM packages with same version/release number?)? Or is it possible for the new point release to include NEW packages that weren't on the base relase (in this case CentOS 5)? Thanks, Jorge

LF examples - using site-specific RPMs for config
by Alan McKay 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hey folks, A week or two ago someone mentioned something about using their own home-grown RPMs for managing config info on their boxes. I really like this idea and would like to learn more about it. Are there some examples out there? I have lots of custom config info and think this would be an ideal way to manage it. Others mentioned puppet and CF engine which probably have their merits as well. But I don't really have time at the moment to learn those. Perhaps in this thread we could even discuss the +/- of each method. cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

problem installing CentOS 5.3
by Buz Davis 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

I have a small fixed ip network at home, running red hat 9 on two amd k6 500 Mhz boxes. One has 256 M memory and the other 320 M. They pretty much meet my needs, but lately I have detected that the internet sites I frequent are requiring some more modern software than I can run. I attempted to install Fedora 8, but that failed on the AMD processors. So I ordered a set of CentOS 5.3 i386 disks. The CentOS install fails also. I could get the first screen up, offering choices of how to boot, and if I asked for memtest86 that would start. (I had verified memory earlier, during my F8 attempts). However, any other choice resulted in a reboot (generally during loading of vmlinux). Sometimes the disk wouldn't be recognized as bootable. I have convinced myself that the disks are OK (see below) and that I must need either better hardware or more memory (but this is the i386 version of CentOS 5.3) or some parameter on the install that I haven't tried (and I've tried about all I have found or remember). I would appreciate any help. What I've done so far: At first I thought that the CentOS 1of6 disk must be bad (couldn't even run a mediacheck) and emailed the vendor. Then it occurred to me that I could perhaps download and burn disk 1of6 and use that to get the install started. (Up until my attempts at F8 I had not had the capability to burn a CD. While trying with F8 I bought a used "intel inside" computer with a broken XP system on it. I blew that away but F8 found problems with the hard disk and wouldn't install. I managed to install RedHat 9, which gave me access to the CD). I reaized that the process would be a bit "iffy" on a box with hard-disk problems, and also I had never burned a cd, but googled around for instructions and plunged in. I downloaded an ios, checked it with md5sum and it was OK. I copied it to the "new" computer via NFS and checked it again: OK. I burned a CD using cdrecord, and the burn appeared to work. The result behaved much like the original had. I tried two more times, varying stuff that I thought might affect the burn, and always got the same sort of behavior. Finally I tried mounting (on a RH9 box) each of the four disks 1of6 I now had and copied (from /dev/cdrom rather than /mnt/cdrom, so as to avoid separating out the files) each to a separate directory and compared them. All three that I burned were identical. The "store bought" disk was a little larger, but compared OK up to EOF on the other (and I recall reading that mass-produced disks might be different in their padding). So I am convinced now that there is nothing wrong with either the original or recently burned disks 1of6 and the problem must either be requiring better/more hardware (but this is the i386 version of cent OS) or some parameter on the install I have never heard of. Again, any advice would be appreciated. Buz

problem with a repo
by Dave 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello, I've got rpmforge and epel on centos 5.3. I'm trying to do an install of perl-Image-Info for spamassassin image scanning. The package was picked up in rpmforge since first, but it is failing to install because a dependency is missing. I added perl-Image-Info to rpmforge's excludepkgs line and tried to install the package again this time thinking it would pull from epel. This did not occur yum still tried to fetch from rpmforge. For my excludepkgs line i tried: excludepkgs=package1,package2,perl-Image-Info and since the changes weren't picked up i did: excludepkgs=package1 package2 perl-Image-Info Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Securely backing up Linux machines to NAS?
by Scott Ehrlich 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

I have been tasked with having a Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 NAS box, likely to be connected to a Linux box via samba, be the storage device to back up mostly Ubuntu and Centos systems. The trick is, the machines to be backed up need to do so in an automated fashion and make a secure, encrypted connection to my Linux box hosting the NAS. The NAS does have SSL enabled for web admin access, though the same login credentials are used to authenticate the Linux host via samba to the NAS. So what are the simplest options to back up the Linux hosts? rsync does come to mind, but how to do so securely from each host? I'd consider something via ssh, but that would mean an interactive login, and encrypting individual files on the hosts is not an option. NFS is also available on the NAS, but considering the security concerns, I will not use that, nor do I want to enable any more services on the linux machines being backed up than necessary, meaning samba is not an option, unless it remains the ONLY one. I ONLY plan to use samba to mount the NAS to my Linux server, unless someone comes up with a more secure method, or even away to negate the need of the Linux server and permit the hosts to back up directly to the NAS... Ideas are welcome. Thanks. Scott

Persisting iproute2 routes and rules
by Diogo Sperb Schneider 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Greetings! I have defined a few routes and rules with: ip route add ... ip rule add ... And now I'd like to persist those so they're loaded when the system boots up. I'm doing this by means of calling a specific script from /etc/rc.d/rc.local but I believe there must be something cleaner than that, like another existing file. Thanks in advance, Diogo

I'd suggest you dont waste your time around this and instead work with projects like chef / puppet / bcfg2 and look at those to manage what they do - config and state. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Enviado desde mi oficina móvil BlackBerry® de Telcel

Problems with Adobe flash-plugin and Firefox-3.5.x under CentOs-5.3 (yum up to date)
by Martin Knoblauch 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I am running 32-bit Firefox-3.5.3 on Centos-5.3 (64-bit kernel) on a Dell Precision M65 laptop. This is likely a Adobe problem, but maybe someone else has seen this before. Please CC me, as I only receive the digest version of the list. When using the 10.0.32.18-release version of the flash-plugin, trying to access *any* page containing flash (e.g. www.adobe.com) causes the browser to die. This also happens with version 10.0.22.87. Version 9.0.115.0 works fine. To avoid problems with add-ons, Firefox is started with "-safe-mode". As far as I know, the problem also happens with Firefox-3.0.x. # uname -a Linux l6g0223j 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 08:21:56 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # rpm -q flash-plugin flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release Any idea? Anything I can help debugging the problem? Cheers Martin ------------------------------------------------------ Martin Knoblauch email: k n o b i AT knobisoft DOT de www: http://www.knobisoft.de

Opinions on bonding modes?
by Rick Barnes 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

I am working on setting up an NFS server, which will mainly serve files to web servers, and I want to setup two bonds. I have a question regarding *which* bonding mode to use. None of the documentation I have read suggests any mode is "better" than other with the exception of specific use cases (e.g. switch does not support 802.3ad, active-backup). Since my switch *does* support 802.3ad, including layers 2,3 and 4 hashing, should I use mode=4? Or would one of the other modes be "better" for providing fail-over and link-aggregation, specifically balance-tlb or balance-alb. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Rick
