help with rebuilding md0 (Raid5)
by Daniel Bird 21 May '09

21 May '09

Sorry, this is going to be a rather long post...Here's the situation; I have 4 IDE disks from an old snap server which fails to mount the raid array. We believe there is a controller error on the SNAP so we've put them in another box running CentOS 5 and can see the disks OK. hda thru hdd looks like this Disk /dev/hdd: 185.2 GB, 185283624960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 22526 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 * 1 2 16041+ 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 3 70 546210 83 Linux /dev/hdd3 71 138 546210 5 Extended /dev/hdd4 139 21781 173844468 83 Linux /dev/hdd5 71 104 273104+ 83 Linux /dev/hdd6 105 138 273104+ 83 Linux I can mount hdX1 and hdX2 (hdx2 is xfs) on all disks.

Squid proxy as a Gateway Server
by Ashish Gangani 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi all, Good Day for all, I need Help to Setup Squid proxy as a Gateway Server. The Idea is to use the (Server and Gateway) configured with Squid to run using AUTH_Pam or AUTH_ncsa , but additionally we need to filter some access via group, following the standard filter group used Filter Group 1 - blocked users (no access) Filter Group 2 - standard users (standard access rights) Filter Group 3 - guest users (limited access rights) Filter Group 4 - power users (more generous access & file download rights) Filter Group 5 - admin users (unlimited access) So in this cases all users are authenticated by the Server Only when their try to access internet, they received access denied if user is has no access based on group membership. Thanks and Regards, Ashish Gangani,

Missing Thunderbird Updates
by Filipe Brandenburger 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello, I recently noticed that Thunderbird updates are missing from CentOS 5. First, I noticed that Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 is available in the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.2, but not on the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.3. The version in the "os" repo of CentOS 5.3 is 2.0.0.18. - Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 in CentOS 5.2 updates repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/thunderbird-2.0.0.19-… - Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 in CentOS 5.3 os repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/i386/CentOS/thunderbird-2.0.0.18-1.e… - No Thunderbird in CentOS 5.3 updates repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ Then I went upstream to confirm which versions were available there. To my surprise, I found out that there is a src rpm for Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 that dates from March 22. - Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 SRPM in RHEL 5Client: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Client/en/os/SRPMS/thunde… CentOS Developers, could you please build the RPMs for the latest version 2.0.0.21, and investigate why the issue with 2.0.0.19 not being present in the "updates" repo 5.3 happened, and why the new package 2.0.0.21 was not rebuilt even though it dates from more than one month ago? Thanks! Filipe

Cron for spamassassin
by Bob Hoffman 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all, Question: Do you run the cron.d for updating spamassassin that came with the distro (centos 5.x)? I tried doing it when it was first set up and it just kept failing. Although set to run, neither sa-update logs nor cron logs show any activity at all on this cron. And thus I usually do it by hand, running sa-update -D on the command line every week or so. The cron.d/sa-update file is chmod 0600 and owned by root. The contents are as was installed -------------------------------- 10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log -------------------------------- When running the cron manually from the command line, it says: -------------------------------- /etc/cron.d/sa-update: line 9: 10: command not found --------------------------------- And the cron log will say ------------------------------- "May 18 18:56:01 mail crond[3919]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE (/etc/cron.d/sa-update)" ------------------------------- All research online and in bugs only refer to an old syntax error that is no longer in the code. I did find quite a few posts from people all over the web that this was not working for them. Not one was fixed or resoved. I tired making the cron 0755 but that did not change anything. I could find no bug reports on this on either rhel or centos. So, I was just thinking about making a crontab to run sa-update daily and see if that works. I would like to use as intended though. Has anyone experienced this problem, and has anyone figured out what is wrong? Thanks in advance.

Shell Script Pointers?
by James Bensley 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hey Listee's I am trying to write a shell script to sort and compare my blacklist for squidGuard with the nightly updates that come down in a tar ball. It should be rather simple but I'm not to grate at this. The script is to run nightly, it will download the latest blacklist tarball, un tar it and then add any new entries to the existing black list. The blacklists work by having a folder for each filtered category so the folder "db" contains the subfolders "adult", "gambling", "drugs" etc and each sub folder has two files, "domains" and "urls" (pretty self explanitory). This is how far I have gotten (I haven't tested this script yet as I haven't had a chance I have only gotten as far as writting it, this is what I have so far: #!/bin/bash #This will be running from home directory wget http://www.blacklistsite.com/blacklist.tar tar -cxf blacklist.tar cd BL find ./ -type d -maxdepth 1 | while read FOLDER; do SQUIDDB="usr/local/squidGuard/db/$FOLDER" sort_db($SQUIDDB) comm -3 $SQUIDDB/domains $FOLDER/domains > $SQUIDDB/domains.missing comm -3 $SQUIDDB/urls $FOLDER/urls > $SQUIDDB/urls.missing cat $SQUIDDB/domains.missing >> $SQUIDDB/domains cat $SQUIDDB/urls.missing >> $SQUIDDB/urls rm $SQUIDDB/domains.missing rm $SQUIDDB/urls.missing sort_db($SQUIDDB) done sort_db(){ sort -f $1/domains > $1/domains.sorted sort -f $1/urls > $1/urls.sorted rm $1/domains rm $1/urls mv $1/doamins.sorted $1/domains mv $1/urls.sorted $1/urls } Is it obvious I'm new to this? Hehe, I would also love to hear how people would do this in a more efficient manner because obvisouly this is pretty sloppy and as I said I haven't tested it yet so it might not even run?!

Does anyone use pmacct?
by Rudi Ahlers 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all, I've been advised to use pmacct on a CentOS server, in order to keep track of network traffic used by the XEN domU's / VPS' / VM's on the server. I don't see a .rpm on their website so I don't know if it's safe to install the tarball. I also don't see an rpm in the dag wiers repository. Has anyone installed it on CentOS before? And if so, did you run into any problems? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Weird CentOS 5.3 problem
by Randall Martin 19 May '09

19 May '09

I reimaged a compute node on our cluster with the latest 5.3 updates (we were previously running 5.2), but we kept the kernel at 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 until I can find time to rebuild some of our kernel modules. After the image install finishes and the system reboots, the eth0 ethernet interface disappears. If I do an ifconfig a, I see what should be eth0, but it¹s listed as __tmp2081258173. [root@node0770 ~]# ifconfig -a __tmp2081258173 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:68:86:67:04 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:66 The dmesg output isn¹t very helpful: [root@node0770 ~]# dmesg|grep eth0 eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 0108e:534b bound to 0000:00:08.0 If I remove our lustre modules that were built for the 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 kernel and reboot, the eth0 interface reappears. Another piece to this puzzle is that this problem only seems to happen on our Sun X2200¹s. Our Dell 1950¹s work just fine after putting on the 5.3 updates. Anyone know what could cause this behavior? Thanks, Randy

Re: [CentOS] centos 5.2 install: mbr or no bootloader ?

Julian responded > You need to select 'install bootloader' to the hard disk, and then advanced options, > where you can tell it to install > it to /boot instead of MBR. > You should have created /boot in the partitioning stage. > I assume you are using some other boot manager > Julian Thomas Thanks, Julian, that tells me what I missed. FYI: I am not using a /boot partition, all of centos is in sdb5. I am using grub, but it is installed into a small ~ 10 Mb grub-only partition sdb9. That chainloads all my os's, centos(sdb5), fc5(sdb6), f10(sda1) I havent been able to get f10 X working. Jack

centos 5.2 install: mbr or no bootloader ?
by jackson byers 19 May '09

19 May '09

I recently used a purchased centos 5.2 dvd to install. It all went smoothly, and I am up and running automagically it seems to have upgraded itself to 5.3 Final One peculiarity: I believe I was given the choice of: --installing the bootloader into mbr or --no bootloader install I did not want my mbr overwritten, so I chose no bootloader Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition? or did I just miss it? I wanted to chainload the centos install, but that requires grub installed into 1st sector of root partition. So after the os install I used knoppix livecd to > grub root (hd1,4) # sdb5 is my centos partition setup (hd1,4) and centos now loads from a chainloader +1 in my grub partition So I have fixed it; but curious as to why the install dvd didn't give me the choice there.

Missing perl-DBD-Pg security update
by Ned Slider 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi, Any news when we may expect the missing perl-DBD-Pg security update for CentOS 5 from last week? https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0479.html It came out the same day as the poppler security update that CentOS pushed 2 days later so I'm wondering why the perl-DBD-Pg security update still hasn't appeared. Is there an issue? Did it just get missed? Should we wait longer?

This was back when a whole bunch of screws were involved. When the cables were only 40 conductor I bought a whole roll and a bunch of connectors and made my own as needed. Now that stuff is 80 wires, I don't do that. Since I use full towers, this was a problem. I searched on-line and found some quality extended ones, but they were fairly expensive. For your use, they may not be worth it. Or budgets may intrude, etc. Anyway, glad your setup is working now. > <snip sig stuff> -- Bill

Note that it is also possible to set up VMware and perhaps virtualbox to be able to boot the alternate OS as a virtual machine so you can run both at once if you like. If you don't have the enterprise-licensed version of windows you might need to run it as the host, though. Otherwise it will want to be re-licensed every time you switch between virtual and physical boots and it sees different hardware. With Vmware you have to install the (free) server version to do the setup, although you can later remove it and use the player version at runtime if you prefer. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

First test machine finished after some serious tinkering, will probably need to do another test install according to the documentation I made during the testing. The machine now boots both CentOS and WinXP and all seems fine. Below are the steps I took: * Disconnect linux hd. * Install a new hd and jumper it as primary master.

URL of website doesn't point anymore to CentOS/Drupal installation
by M. Fioretti 18 May '09

18 May '09

sorry for the vague subject, but I couldn't find a better one. I have the website http://digifreedom.net running on a Centos 4 VPS with Apache and Drupal 6.10 . This is a multisite Drupal setup: only one installation, with subdirectories in sites/, and a separate mysql database for each website. For several reasons, I had setup DNS, drupal and everything to work without the www prefix on domain names. In other words, http://digifreedom.net is OK, www.digifreedom.net was never used. Everything worked perfectly for months, if not years. Five minutes ago, somebody wrote to me that a digifreedom.net URL I suggested him to read "doesn't work". I checked, and what happens now is that, if I type http://digifreedom.net/node/82 the browser is immediately redirected to www.digifreedom.net/node/82, which (of course) returns an error message: "Firefox can't find the server at www.digifreedom.net" That error message is OK, because I had NOT set up DNS and apache to answer to that address. What I don't get is why http://digifreedom.net now becomes www.digifreedom.net. I haven't changed anything myself in DNS, drupal or apache config for many weeks, so why all of a sudden something started to behave differently? The weirdest thing is that this "forced redirection" from example.com to www.example.com happens with some, but not all of the other domains configured in the same way and running on the same server off the same Apache/Drupal installation! How can I find, at least, which piece of the puzzle is responsible for this problem? I am aware that probably this isn't even a centos issue, I just need a pointer in the right direction. TIA, Marco -- Your own civil rights and the quality of your life heavily depend on how software is used *around* you: http://digifreedom.net/node/84

CentOS 5.3: duplicate glib2-2.12.3-2.fc6 packages
by William R. Lorenz 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi All, I have a freshly installed CentOS 5.3, x86_64 system -- just the Base package selection (via custom packages selection), and nothing else. Immediately after install (no updates), here's what's in the RPM db: [root@dev ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i glib2 glib2-2.12.3-2.fc6 glib2-2.12.3-2.fc6 [root@dev ~]# I have two questions about this: (1) Should this package be listed in the RPM database twice? (2) Should it be listed there with the fc6 extension? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks, -- William R. Lorenz

Kickstart hang trying to install CentOS 5.3
by Alfred von Campe 18 May '09

18 May '09

I've been using kickstart successfully with a local mirror going back to CentOS 4.X. I'm trying to install CentOS 5.3 via kickstart on a new system (which happens to be different than most other systems I've installed on), and the install process always hangs shortly after the partitions are created. If I go to the alternate console #3, the last two lines are always this (except that the time stamp changes every time I try it of course): 10:06:18 DEBUG: Member xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.2.0-4 - u 10:06:18 DEBUG: Adding Package xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.2.0-4.i386 in mode u This is preceded by hundreds of similar lines for other packages, but it always hangs at xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.2.0-4. I am currently out of other systems to test/install this on. Instead of the usual ThinkCentre mini tower, this system is a ThinkCentre pizza box. I've installed CentOS on this type of hardware before without problems, but it hangs on the only two systems I currently have. It's possible that there is something wrong with my local mirror, but I rsync it every night and this problem has been going on for a few days. I will try to install this on a mini tower to rule out any hardware compatibility issues, but in the mean time, I'm looking for suggestions on how to debug this. I've booted into Linux rescue mode after power cycling the system after it hung to look at whatever did get installed, but there are no useful log files. Alfred

no snd-hda-codec.ko in CentOS 5.3 is that ok ?
by Colonna Francois 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hello, When I was running CentOS 5.2 (and other Liuux distribution) on an Asus W2J laptop, I never get sound. I upgraded to CentOS 5.3. Now the sound card is recognized and plays the test sounds. I checked channels with alsamixer, mix, kamix .... I still have no sound using aplay alsa command or whatever else audio display. Trying to check my configuration I discovered that the snd-hda-codec.ko is missing : modprobe -l | grep hda gives /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko Is that the reason why I have no sound ?

[OT] Anyone use a Blackberry?
by Jason Todd Slack-Moehrle 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hi All, I know off topic, but I just cant get solutions and you all are always so helpful. I have a blackberry curve 8310 and I really need to keep track of clients, their e-mails, notes, pdfs, etc. basically everything about a customer. I want to deploy it here in my apartment (I have a static IP) and either have my BB connect or sync at the end of the day or something. I just cannot find a low cost (or free) solution where I can make this happen. Does anybody know of anything? I run OS X (primarily), Windows (for on the go on a netbook) and CentOS. -Jason

yum-updatesd no longer working
by Stewart Williams 16 May '09

16 May '09

I recently enabled yum-updatesd on two identical servers and configured it to notify me of updates via e-mail. This worked fine to start with and it notified me on both machines when the kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64.rpm update was released last week. However, today I realised that yum-updatesd was not running and thought it was due to rebooting after the kernel update and that I'd forgotten to set it to start at boot. But this was not the case, it is set to start, however running '/sbin/service yum-updatesd start' yields: yum-updatesd dead but subsys locked I have tried removing /var/lock/subsys/yum-updatesd, but when I restart the service it says [OK] and yum-updatesd doesn't run, but the lock file is re-created. yum-updatesd --debug does not help either. Any help or idea's greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yum update gone bad...
by Anthony Kamau 16 May '09

16 May '09

Morning list! I have a situation that was brought about by a system crash during a yum update. The motherboard suffered a catastrophic failure due to busted CAPS. Lucky for me (or so I thought at the time), I had a spare, identical motherboard as the one that failed. I replaced the dud board and rebooted. This machine runs headless and is my primary (personal/home) mail server. I normally access the booting console via hyper terminal when I need to change boot parameters or just watch the system boot up! Getting to the point, nothing comes up at all on the terminal screen. So I hooked up a monitor and keyboard (even a mouse) to check what was going on. What I noticed immediately was that the kernel screen selection screen did not appear! Instead, I just got a message at the bottom on the screen stating "Grub Loading Stage 2" or something to that effect. Straight from there, was the usual scrolling text up to the point where SELinux starts. Then nothing displays at all until the final login screen. Not even the "Nash" screen that prompts one to enter "I" for interactive start-up appeared! Could someone enlighten me on what I could check? I have reinstalling all packages that were installed just before and after the system crash to no avail. This is a system that was running CentOS 5.3 final and I was updating several packages including upgrading the kernel from 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5. Cheers, tkb.

Preventing hour-long fsck on ext3-filesystem
by Bernhard Gschaider 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi! I'm justing in the process of setting up a new fileserver for our company. I'm installing CentOS 5.3 (64 bit) on it. One of the "problems" with it is that it has a 3.5TB filesystem for the user data which I formatted during setup as an ext3. Now my experience with our current fileserver is that a 0.5TB ext3 filesystem needs approx half an hour to complete (and kicks in every so and so reboots or every 180days). My estimate is that for the larger filesystem (and the faster machine) the fsck would need well over an hour (being optimistic). I dread the day when I have to reboot the server and wait for 2hours or more just because the system thought it would be a prudent thing to check the filesystem. My question: - is there another stable filesystem (XFS, ReiserFS ...) in the centosplus-kernel where this could be avoided (fsck is faster) and that is as safe as ext3 - Or would it be better to switch off automatic checking with tune2fs Any opinion/experience welcome. I looked around a bit but couldn't find a good answer Bernhard PS: Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm only part-time admin and testing this myself would take weeks, I guess -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DI Bernhard F.W.

Subversion causing Apache to hog memory
by Neil Aggarwal 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hello: I posted this to the subversion list yesterday and have not received a reponse. I am hoping someone on this list will be able to help me. I have a CentOS 5 server running subversion 1.5.6-0.2.el5.rf installed using yum from the rpmforge repository. I am using svnsync to mirror from another repository to the local machine. It is called from a cron job every 5 minutes. After a few days of running fine, I started getting this error from cron: svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svnsync: Error setting property 'sync-lock': Failed to start '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change' hook Looking in /var/log/httpd/error_log, I see this: Could not execute PROPPATCH. [500, #206] Failed to start '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change' hook [500, #165001] Can't start process '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change': Cannot allocate memory [500, #12] Looking at top, the machine has allocated all of the RAM available. When I stop httpd, the RAM comes back. I rebooted the machine and ran top in a shell. I then issued the svnsync command in another shell. I can see the memory usage going up each time I run the svnsync command but it does not seem to come down even after leaving the machine idle for a while. If I then stop httpd, the memory comes back. It looks like svnsync is somehow causing apache to hog memory. Any ideas? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox.

It's a Windows XP thing, not specific to the distro, and only affects WinXP afaik (doesn't affect Win2K, couldn't care less about Vista). I first came across it trying to install WinXP on a system that had previously had Fedora on it and the installer hangs at a black screen. The "solution" is to do as you've done and disconnect the drive. If it's a single drive system, then install Windows first for dual booting, or if you just want to reinstall Windows over the top of a previous Linux installation then remove all Linux partitions with fdisk first.

Printing graphics on CentOS 5.3
by MHR 15 May '09

I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to report that the problem I have been having on CentOS since I first started using it, back in 4.4, of having all images (graphics) print out from the image viewer as all-black pages appears to be gone! I just printed 13 graphics from the image viewer directly to my laser printer, and they're all excellent. I suppose it could be that I'm using a more-supported laser printer now (Brother 2140) than then (Minolta PagePro 1100), with a driver that actually works properly - I don't know. I'm just extremely pleased that this works, regardless pf who should get the blame/credit! Okay, I'm getting my breath back, now.... <RBFG> mhr

Dealing with brute force attacks
by James B. Byrne 14 May '09

14 May '09

Over the weekend one of our servers at a remote location was hammered by an IP originating in mainland China. This attack was only noteworthy in that it attempted to connect to our pop3 service. We have long had an IP throttle on ssh connections to discourage this sort of thing. But I had not considered the possibility that other services were equally at risk. Researching this on the web does not reveal any comprehensive list of vulnerable ports or services. Most discussion centres on ssh, then some on ftp, and relatively few regarding pop3. So, my questions are these: 1. Should I throttle all new connections regardless of destination ports? In other words: are there any legitimate reasons that a single IP would require more than one new connection every 30 seconds or so? 2. Moving pass the obvious and unhelpful "everything", what services are particularly vulnerable to these types of attacks? Does a list exist anywhere?
