14 Mar '09

I was looking at my maillog and it looks like someone is trying to get into my pop3 server.

External USB disk devices cause high load
by Tom Brown 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Hi On a CentOS 4.7 box running on older hardware when i plug an external flash disk or similar into the system the device shows up in dmesg but it is not usable. The load on the system starts to climb for no apparent reason. If i try to look at the partitions on the disk with fdisk it just hangs. If the device is removed the load remains high. Does anyone know what processes are responsible for USB as top is not really showing me much. thanks

Unable to use DRBD after a reboot
by robert mena 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Hi, I have two servers in a drbd primary/secondary setup. Everything was fine until I had to reboot both servers. The primary rebooted first, the secondary assumed fine, but when the (old primary) server got back online it was unable to mount the drbd fs complaining about the modules. I've tried to find out the problem but the servers seem to have the same setup rpm -qa | grep drbd drbd82-8.2.6-1.el5.centos kmod-drbd82-8.2.6-2 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Am I missing something? thanks.

Hi All, I've been trying to locate a jboss application server rpm for CentOS 5, but I haven't found any. I thought it would be included with CentOS. Searching the yum repos hasn't turned anything up. Maybe my yum search was sub-par. Where should I look? Do any rpms exist?

Postfix smtp_recipient_restrictions causing mail to fail
by Logan Moore 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Hi All, I'm currently playing with smtp_recipient restrictions to try and knock some of this spam on it's head. On my old debian server, I was using this and successfully filtering out at least 90% if not more of all spam emails which was great. I didn't even need spamassassin. However, trying to do the same thing on my new CentOS based server isn't working. With the following enabled, nothing comes through from the outside world. Can anybody see where I've gone wrong. I can't fathom why this would block all incoming emails from the web. smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, permit Thanks, Kind regards, Logan Moore

WAY OT: domain name registration .co.za
by Glenn 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Hello All, Very sorry about WAY off-topic query, but you folks really are one of my most International subscribed groups. I am looking for a recommendation for a domain name registrar I can register my .co.za domain name with that won't 'yank my chains'. I tried a couple attempts at registering and found some hidden fees along with the insistence that I had to host my DNS with them. Lots of hosting bundles! I just want a registrar that can register the domain name and use MY DNS servers. I'll do all the hosting, thank you very much! Thanks in Advance! Glenn

port based routing
by Marcus Moeller 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Good Evening, I am trying to set up port based routing on a CentOS 5.2 box as described here: http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/iproute2.html (second example) Therefor I have set up the following mangle and routing rules: $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1100 -j MARK --set-mark 1 $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1101 -j MARK --set-mark 2 $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p tcp --dport 1102 -j MARK --set-mark 3 $IP route add default dev ppp100 table SOESTCOM1 $IP route add default dev ppp101 table VERSATEL1 $IP route add default dev ppp102 table TONLINE1 $IP rule add from all fwmark 1 table SOESTCOM1 $IP rule add from all fwmark 2 table VERSATEL1 $IP rule add from all fwmark 3 table TONLINE1 iptables -t mangle -L -vn output: http://pastebin.centos.org/24626 shows that the packages are marked correctly. Here is an example ip route show table output: default dev ppp102 scope link But it seems (and tcpdump indicates) that packages are still routed via default route, instead. Do I need to set some proc flags to activate port based routing? Best Regards Marcus

Disk usage for small files in ext3 in CentOS 5
by Filipe Brandenburger 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hello, I noticed something unusual today. If I "du" a small file (couple of bytes) in CentOS 5, it tells me the file is using 8kb, while I was expecting 4kb which is the block size I'm using. I tried this on several CentOS 5 machines, both x86_64 and i386: $ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:24 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 8.0K test.txt If I do the same on a CentOS 4 machine: $ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:25 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 4.0K test.txt On all machines I tested, both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5: # tune2fs -l /dev/xxxxx ... Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 I could not find any differences that would explain the behaviour. Have you seen this before? Can you reproduce it on your systems? Do you know how to get the CentOS 4 behaviour? More on the point: I'm migrating some data from CentOS 4 to CentOS 5, it's around 70GB of millions of small files. I would like it to still take 70GB, not 140GB. For now, I'm working around this issue by using "-T small" to mke2fs, I'm not sure if it's going to have the effect I want, and I'm not sure about any other impact (performance?) it might have on my filesystem. Thanks, Filipe

Intermittent NFS problems with NetApp server
by Alfred von Campe 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

I've been experiencing some intermittent problems accessing at NetApp server via NFS and automount. I'm running CentOS 5.2 (fully updated) on all my servers and workstations. Usually, everything is working just fine, when suddenly we get the following error: /bin/sh: /home/epd/srcref/swtools/Crontabs/ run_release_requests.sh: Permission denied This is actually an email from cron because we try to run that shell script every minute (yes, the crontab entry is * * * * * /home/epd/ srcref/swtools/Crontabs/run_release_requests.sh), and /home/epd is an automounted directory. Here is its map entry: epd -rw,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 XXXXXX:/epd When this is happening, other users can successfully access that directory on the server. The directory is actually mounted correctly, and unmounting doesn't fix the issue. Furthermore, the same user that is being denied access, can successfully access that directory on a different server. The problem usually lasts about 20 minutes and then resolves itself. We have been pulling our hair out trying to debug this problem, because it's intermittent and the debug window is fairly short. Recently we have been getting help from one of the NetApp admins, and he ran a command on the NetApp that produced the following warning: The TCP receive window advertised by NFS client XXXXXXX is 5888. This is less than the recommended value of 32768 bytes. You should increase the TCP receive buffer size for NFS on the client. Some googling around got me to check these values for TCP: # sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_mem net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 98304 131072 196608 # sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_rmem net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 4194304 # sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_wmem net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 16384 4194304 So these seem fine to me (i.e., the max is greater than 32768). Is there an NFS (as opposed to TCP) setting I should be tweaking? Any ideas why the NetApp is issuing those warnings? Any other suggestions on how to debug this problem? Thanks, Alfred

LSI Logic MegaRAID 8480 Storage controller
by drew einhorn 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

I have LSI Logic MegaRAID 8480 Storage controller I am having trouble reconfigure one of the hardware raid devices It is configured with 4 hardware raid logical volumes on /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd. I am in the middle of rebuilding the system, and at this point I am only using one of the volumes, /dev/sda /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and /dev/sdd are all 2 drive raid1 mirrors I will be using the hardware raid logical volumes /dev/sdb and /dev/sdd with their current configurations I doubt that the hardware raid device on /dev/hda is causing any problems /dev/sda has two partitiions /dev/sda1 is a 100 MB ext3 partition mounted on /boot /dev/sda2 is a 20 GB lvm logical volume in a 67 GB volume group with an ext3 partition mounted on / the rest of the volume group is empty. I don't like the /dev/sdc is configued. It's configured as a 4 drive raid6. It will be used for database journal, nearly all sequential writes. I would rather use raid10 There are 3 ways to configure the hardware raid. The is something called WebBIOS which is sort of like a web browser that you access from the BIOS. This is ruled out since we will need to maintain the raid configuration with shutting down the operating system, or applications. There is a MegaCLI command line interface that runs under the operating system. Normally I prefer command line tools. But this software is big, and complex. All I have been able to find is a reference manual, that has lots of typos and is not very well organized for me to learn what I need to know. I have not been able to find a tutorial for this software. It will take more time than I have at the moment to figure out this tool. Finally there is the MegaRAID Storage Manager a GUI tool that runs under the OS. I'm running v2.77-00 So the first thing I need to do is delete the unwanted raid6 logical volume. When I try to delete it, it refuses and says: This is an OS drive. The virtual drive cannot be deleted. Any ideas on how to get past this problem with the MegaRAID Storage Manager, or pointers the better documentation, and maybe even a tutorial for the MegaCLI interface. -- Drew Einhorn

IPv6 under Centos?
by Timothy Murphy 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I wonder if anyone is running IPv6 under Centos-5.2? Particularly with shorewall? I see that shorewall6 is specifically designed for updating shorewall to IPv6, as described in <http://www.shorewall.net/IPv6Support.html>. Unfortunately, this explicity requires kernel 2.6.25 or later, and iptables 1.4.0 or later, both of which are later than any versions I've seen on a Centos repository. I'm wondering how safe it would be to install Fedora versions of the required kernel and iptables? Or is there any alternative to shorewall that is IPv6 compatible? I don't really want to run iptables directly, unless forced to do so, as I have found shorewall very reliable and simple to configure. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

rm user:group
by Matt 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I want to remove files but only if they are owned by a certain user and group. Basically I have this: find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -exec rm -f {} \; I want to make sure it only deletes files owned by mail. Basically no matter what weird characters are in the file names I want to make sure it does not delete anything outside of /var/spool/greylist. I can add 'sudo -u' to it but then my secure log gets filled with entries but perhaps thats the only way to do it. Matt

Installs like an appliance - it will stomp on several config files without warning. Best to try it out on a test box or virtual machine. Had to sort through many small scripts to get it to do what I wanted. Main ones I edited were /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions, /opt/drbl/lang/bash/en_US, /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default. Use only one network, shut off nis master, made it a secondary dhcpd server, NFS mount the image storage point off another box. The logger service /opt/drbl/sbin/ocsmgrd didn't work the way I liked, so I use cobbled something together using nc. Because I changed around some files, I have to be careful with drbl/clonezilla updates. I found it useful to have spare disk/LVM space on the server to restore images to, easier restore of a single file or dir. Needs to be equal/larger than the biggest client disk. I had to move it from an x86_64 to i386 Centos - not all my client cpus could run 64bit. PXE boot other stuff like systemrescue, C5 install/rescue, DBAN, etc. I never posted anything, but Steven Shiau, the maintainer, seems responsive to questions on the mail list. -- tkb

need help with keyring
by Michael Klinosky 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)! Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, it puts up a window to get my default keyring password. Perhaps I needed to config something? Anyway, I found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager , which _seems_ to explain everything. However, my newbie-ness is interfering with this process. NB - I use gnome. The problem is that it's still asking for the default password. I'm fairly sure that I didn't *complete* that process (one issue - that password is different from my user password.) It states that I need (?) to change the keyring password to be the same as the user password - but I can't figure out how. The last sentence: (Using gnome-keyring-manager), "highlight the keyring and select Change Keyring Password from the Keyring menu of gnome-keyring-manager. I don't have 'Change' anything there - whether as $ or #. What do I need to do to satisfy it (so that it doesn't ask for the password)?

Identical yum configs, different results
by Rob Hutten 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hi all, I have two new Centos 5.2 servers ("drizzle" and "fog"), both ROCKS headnodes installed from the same rolls. Identical `uname -a' output (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5, x86_64 etc), identical yum versions (Version: 3.2.8 Release: 9.el5.centos.1) with identical yum.conf files and identical repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d.

usb mouse config
by Michael Klinosky 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello. I have 5.2 running nicely on my Aspire laptop. It has a 'mousepad' (which I don't like), so I put a usb mouse on it. It works properly, but I (apparently) can't change the motion (in Preferences > Mouse, Motion tab). Any setting for the Acceleration and Sensitivity don't affect the motion. Do I have to config something somewhere else?

Grub Loading stage2Read Error
by dnk 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi there, I had a system drop this weekend, and upon boot, the system halts at a black screen with the following error: "Grub Loading stage2Read Error" Now upon googling around, it seems to be recommended to reinstall GRUB. My system is a simple raid 0 (data backed up), with the typical partition scheme (LVM, etc) provided by CentOS. This system is 5.2 in my case. Now since my system is a raid 0, I am a little hesitant to do the procedure as none of the instructions I have found take this into consideration. What would be the best way to do this, or more importantly to find out the proper device to run (on): /sbin/grub-install /dev/... Thanks in advance. d

[bug] Perl Performance Issue
by Georg Grabler 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello, I'm currently bitten hard by a bug which was introduced by RedHat in their perl releases. This bug has been fixed "recently", to be true in January, by RedHat. The bug I'm talking about is a performance issue, which is caused by overloading blessed functions: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2357 The bug fix (January 2009): http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0117.html claims to fix 379791 <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=379791> - perl bless/overload performance problem I wanted to ask if we can expect CentOS to release a new version of perl soon, or if we should rather tend building our own packages. I'd prefer the CentOS update, due to the reason that I don't know if we'll have the same problems with this in mod_perl as well. Kind regards, Georg

Nfs4 with kerberos freezing system
by Olaf Mueller 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello, I have a CentOS 5.2 server that exports /home on the local network for 2 users by secure nfs4 with kerberos krb5p. The clients are a notebook and a desktop pc. The following error is always reproducible on all clients. If running the clients on high load, that means for example 5 firefox windows open and connected with www pages from the internet, installing the new qt development environmet on the nfs4 share from the 297 mb big qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.01.bin file and copy a 649 mb iso image to the nfs4 share, the client is freenzing and a reboot is necessary. If running the clients on low load, than the system is stable for hours. In my opinion this is an error by an CentOS nfs package, cause this problem is reproducible with different kernels, different desktop environments and different clients. I don't think the error is caused by the server hardware, cause if running the same nfs setting with nfs version 3 and disabling nfs secure, the system is stable. I have test this with - latest CentOS 5.2 kernel and testing redhat kernel 2.6.18-133.el5 - kde and gnome - different clients and hardware Is anybody here successfully using nfs4/krb5p with CentOS 5.2? regards Olaf

hplip problems - configure: error: "cannot find libjpeg support"
by Anne Wilson 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

I'm trying to get hplip-2.7.12 installed, and I'm reasonably sure that I had it installed on this box before my problems last month. Anyway, it will not build at the moment. It stops the Configure with "configure: error: "cannot find libjpeg support". However, Package libjpeg - 6b-37.i386 is already installed. Similarly, attempting to install hplip-3.9.2 stops with warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libusb but Package libusb - 0.1.12-5.1.i386 is already installed. Version 2.7.12 is the earliest version to support my printer. I'm fairly sure I had it installed on this box before my problems last month, and I'm fairly sure that it also was installed on FC6 some time back. Either of these versions would be fine. Any ideas?

LDAP proxy

List, I have a challenge with some LDAP servers: I am in the process of converting from physical LDBM backends to virtualized BDB backends. Problem is that there are a lot of clients connecting to this ldap instance (with updates), so i do not want to inform them that our ldap server is offline for a maintenance window... I would like to have a solution which does some form of caching until the new instances are online and then flush the updates to the new instance.. Does anyone have a clue on how to do this, or a better solution to my problem ?

Creating an alternitive install CD for CentOS 5.2 (w/ patched mkinitrd)
by Robert Heller 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

I need to be able to install CentOS 5.2 on a machine with software RAID (and LVM) setup. I discovered (the hard way!) that there is a bug in the mkinitrd package that causes it to enter an endless loop when there are /dev/mapper/ devices present during the install process. There is a patch to mkinitrd, which I applied and created a new rpm for mkinitrd with this patch applied. I'd like to now create a alternitive install CD, but I am not sure of the exact mkisofs command line to properly create a bootable CD. I am also not sure if I need to update any of the files the installer uses to install the system -- is it enough to just drop the alternitive mkinitrd rpm? Do I need to rebuild any of the other files on the CD? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller(a)deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

As the green 1 To disk is not identified by hdparm I think it's not configured properly. Any hint to make my 1To disk flying like the other one ? :) cheers, David

I have a test system: Centos 5.2 on an OQO, that has been hanging hard. I have to unplug it and pull the battery so I can then cold start it. This last time all I did was open a terminal window and SU to root, then start the lastest build of SIP Communicator (which uses JRE 1.6.0_10). I was not even making a test phone call at the time. Oh, and the system only runs IPv6, no v4 addressing. So how do I find out what is causing the hard lockups?

Please test kmod packages for CentOS-4
by Akemi Yagi 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

Hello, There are currently 3 kmod packages in CentOS-4 that require re-installation upon each kernel update: kmod-drbd kmod-drbd82 kmod-xfs CentOS is going to offer a kernel-independent version of these kmod packages. With this version, you install once, and they should survive kernel updates. They are in the testing repository at the moment and need to be tested before they can be made available from the regular place (extras repo). Getting enough testing is important because CentOS may not be providing kernel-specific kmod-packages any longer. If you have never used the testing repository, please refer to the Wiki article: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories Happy testing! Akemi

Yesterday mail started bouncing with this error: 450 Unable to find obrien-pifer.com I think the messages eventually get delivered, but not sure. I guess I'll see if this one makes the list. I checked my domain using http://www.checkdns.net/ and it gives me a couple warnings. One is that there's no MX record, but there is. I use a smarthost for sending mail. My DNS records are: http://www.obrien-pifer.com/mydns.txt Anyone see any problems in my DNS records? Thanks, James
