Firefox error msg.
by Bob Taylor 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

After my / disk seemed to be failing and found many files disappeared, I decided to remove it. I moved my other disk to it's place. Long story omitted. After installing my backup of /home and seeing firefox not restart, I started it from the command line with the immediate error: Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.5 and 1.9.0.5. I'm sorry, I'm at a complete loss. What's a GRE? -- Bob Taylor

Re: [CentOS] Antivirus for CentOS? (yuck!)

The PCI DSS Ver 1.2 standard (of Oct. 2008 - get it from https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/pci_dss_download.ht…) actually states: 5.1 Deploy anti-virus software on all systems commonly affected by malicious software (particularly personal computers and servers). but then goes on, under "Testing Procedures" to state: 5.1 For a sample of system components including all operating system types commonly affected by malicious software, verify that anti-virus software is deployed if applicable anti-virus technology exists. Unfortunately, both open-source and commercial anti-virus software that will run on Centos do exist, which gives the assessor some wiggle-room. Even worse, the Summary of Changes from 1.1 to 1.2 says: Requirement & Testing Procedure: Clarified requirement applies to all operating systems types commonly affected by malicious software, if applicable anti-virus technology exists. Besides use of the term "anti-virus software", changed the term "virus" to "malicious software". Deleted note stating "Systems commonly affected by viruses typically do not include UNIX-based operating systems or mainframes." That last sentence is a killer, unfortunately - it means they have been tightening up on *ix systems. Looks like you could be in for a battle if the QSA is an intransigent sort. You could argue that while anti-virus programs do exist, their purpose is to detect infected files which could harm connected Windows systems, and are therefore not applicable in your specific case, particularly since you are using proprietary protocols and not running Windows file-sharing software (e.g. Samba, FTP, etc.) It really comes down to whether your Assessor is clueful, or a box-ticking droid.

CentOS4 pam_tally2 config
by Jim Perrin 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Okay, it's been a while since I've messed with EL4, and apparently I've gone stupid with respect to pam and properly enabling pam_tally2 in an appropriate fashion. My notes are for EL5, so if someone would be so kind as to smack me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Web pages time out after server rebuild
by Rob Kampen 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi All, I have an old (2004) Intel based server with 4G of ram running Linux ndgonline.net 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux fully up to date using centOS rpms for apache, php, and mysql. I have just changed from dmraid to md raid for the OS on mirrored 80Gb SATA drives. (long story for another time) Mysql lives on a Intel hardware raid 5 controlled array - as is has for four years. My application has not changed and also runs just fine on another server (although this one is 64 bit) that has a mirrored mysql database replication from this one. I have compared apache conf files, my.cnf and all appears well. The page that times out on our firefox browsers after 30 seconds does have a series of complex mysql queries. There are no log messages other than ssl_error_log that shows: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/htdocs/ndg/includes/customHandler.inc on line 87 the line number varies as does the file name it reports. It will serve pages that only have a few records, yet on my functioning server even the large pages return over the internet in less than 2 seconds. So I'm thinking not enough memory? - but it was working well last Monday. something slowing mysql?? - all other queries in this app appear just fine php having issues? How do I get some extra log info to track this down? Kind regards Rob

Status of PostgreSQL and PHP in Testing
by Peter Hopfgartner 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Dear CentOS developers I would like to have ask some questions about the PostgreSQL and PHP packages in the current Testing repository for CentOS 5. In http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/TestingRepo there is a note, that the testing period is about 3 weeks. Currently, the PostgreSQL and PHP packages in http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS were created in September 08. Do the developers need more feedback about the packages in testing? Is there something (a wiki page, a ticket in the bug tracker or something else) where the feedback can be collected? Is there a testing plan for the packages (works with this and that software, upgrade from base works)? What is the best way I can help? Simply sending feedback to the ML? Is there a kind of policy for the upstream version, something like: version is expected to be in the next major Red Hat release, must be part of Upstream Web Stack or another Upstream product. Casting this to a concrete question: Can upgrades to PHP 5.2.8 or PostgreSQL 8.2.11 be expected to happen. And is there already a concrete plan to move those 2 packages to Plus [http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/centosplus/]? Regards and thank you for this great distribution.

combining kickstart and DVD on a USB thumbdrive
by Jerry Geis 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi all, I am trying to find information on taking a DVD of centos 5.2 x86_64 and putting it AND my kickstart file on a USB8G thumbdrive. Note - I am not INSTALLING linux on the USB disk just trying to make installation media for it. I am not taking just the bootdisk.img file to make the USB bootable but the entire DVD content on the USB and my kickstart files. I'd like to just be able to plug in a USB disk that I have made that has all the kickstart information and the machine is just setup based on WHICHEVER usb thumbdrive in place in the machine. Is there something out there that explains this that I have not found? Thanks for any pointers. Jerry

SquirrelMail Oddity SSL error

21 Jan '09

I have two users only under one virtual domain which after sending an email are returned to a screen which says: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to replacedrealdomainnamehere.org:80. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. * Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. First, this seems to be happening only with two users under one domain on the server. SSL for SquirrelMail is not enabled. I can't find a thing unique to these two users which would cause this error. I can't find anything in the logs to help. Has anybody else seen anything like this and perhaps have a cure? John Hinton

Generating password string in /var/nis/passwd with Perl
by Alexander Farber 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello, in our network we have AD (Win 2003) for user authentication under Windows and NIS (CentOS 5.2) for same under Linux: # rpm -qf /var/yp filesystem-2.4.0-1.el5.centos ypbind-1.19-8.el5 yp-tools-2.9-0.1 ypserv-2.19-3 I have written a CGI Script to add new users both to AD and NIS and also to create the home dirs at our NetApp-Filer. Unfortunately some steps still have to be made by hand (the sysadmin copy-pastes it from a browser to a shell). I could skip one manual step (calling yppasswd) if I knew how to generate the passwd string for /var/nis/passwd: farber:oav3dV4.Mnj/.:10154153:5725:Alexander Farber,jn-05/02,,,,:/home/farber:/bin/bash Has anybody already figured out, how to do it from Perl? I'm sure there must be some way (smth. with Perl's crypt). Regards Alex PS: Here is my script: http://pastebin.com/m46057a70 feel free to modify and use

Help with a good recovery plan.. Linux rescue?
by Glenn 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello All, I have a machine that crashed. Some part of the motherboard (power supply-related) went south. The motherboard, CPU and memory have been replaced with a much newer architecture. The OS and data are intact on two SATA drives that were RAID1 with LVM. I am going to use 'linux rescue' to recover the LVM backup so I can mount the RAIDs (there were two) in a new CentOS install, on a third disk. I have no indication that I could recover the previous CentOS (somewhere between CentOS 5.1 and 5.2 on updates). Can I use 'linux rescue' to fix that OS up to boot it? The kernel panics in its current state (because the hardware architecture is so strikingly different). What is the methodology of fixing the kernel in this circumstance? Thanks in Advance! Glenn

I try to use Pfsense, I believe it has easy to understand GUI but it fails to install on my desktop machine to test, maybe due to hardware comaptibility. Kernel panic during boot even after disabling ACPI. If you have suggestion on tools or template for Iptables to suggest or share, please do.

prettyprint problem in CentOS 5.2
by tbuchanan＠vinu.edu 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

I'd like to ask for help with a problem in CentOS 5.2 when printing from the command line with the prettyprint option selected. Program students print out their code with the command: lpr -P<printer_name> -o prettyprint -o job-sheets=none <filename_to_be_printed> The prettyprint option, as you know, puts a banner with file name and date at the top, and uses a small font, and (for a color printer) uses different colors for different parts of the file. This last worked with a fully updated CentOS 4.7 server but after a move to a different fully updated CentOS 5.2 server the prettyprint option does nothing unless the first line of the file to be printed contains /*hello*/, (discovered quite by accident). CUPS on CentOS 4.7 was cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.27.el4_7.1 while the version on CentOS 5.2 is cups-1.2.4-11.18.el5_2.3. I tried printing from a couple other Linux distros, Fedora 10 (cups-1.3.9-6.fc10.i386) and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, both of which were fully updated. The Fedora 10 exhibited the same problem while the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS printed properly with the prettyprint option. Is this a bug with the way RedHat implements CUPS or am I missing something? The only thing I found in a quick Google search that was similar (but with opposite effects, if I understand correctly) was this CUPS bug report http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2158 which gives no resolution. For now the instruction is having the students print via a script he created which adds \*hello*\ to the first line of their code. Any help would be appreciated. Ted

Cron daemon with better precision?
by Tim Nelson 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Greetings list- I'm on the hunt for a cron scheduler that supports definitions to the second. Obviously, every cron daemon supports minute/hour/etc but I have a special application that requires finer granularity. I know I know... someone will say "The load will be horrendous on your system" or "Why don't you simply schedule your cron every minute and make up the higher precision in your application?". Unfortunately, this will not work. I really need a cron daemon that can schedule to the second. All ideas/thoughts/suggestions/etc welcome. Thank you!

exim rpm with DKIM support for CentOS?
by Timo Neuvonen 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

I haven't learned a lot about DKIM yet, but I guess I'll need to implement it in the near future, at first for signing outgoing mail. I'm using exim as an MTA. I guess the standard exim 4.63 binary rpm from CentOS repos propably does not have DKIM support yet? Or does it, maybe? Provided the standard binary rpm does not provide this functionality, what would be the most decent way to get this functionality? Does the standard source rpm already include the necessary code, re-building the binary rpm with some additional option wouldn't sound bad. If not going this way, what could be a realiable source for a suitable exim rpm (either source or both the x86 and 86_64 binaries) for use in CentOS? Regards, Timo

IPSEC tunnel for remote internet access
by Mr.Vandeley 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hello list, I need to provide internet access through a proxy server on a central office to a remote Lan on a branch office (LAN-B). Also there is an internal server that LAN-B machines should reach. Below there is a simple diagram. Right now I have an IPsec VPN tunnel between offices, and LAN-B can acces LAN-A machines without problems. But LAN-B machines can't access the remote proxy or the internal server on a different LAN. Pings from a LAN-B PC to the PROXY server actually reach the proxy but answers get stuck on the VPN-Gateway-A. VPN-Gateway-A says to the proxy server that network LAN-B is unreachable. I am really confused. Both, router and VPN-Gateway-A knows how to reach LAN-B machines. I think that this behavior is due to the fact that VPN tunnel is up only for packets between LAN-A and LAN-B, so packets from the proxy server (on a different LAN) doesn't get routed to the tunnel. And since this, VPN-Gateway-A doesn't know how to reach LAN-B. All routers, proxy and VPN gateways are Centos based PCs. VPN gateways have Centos IPSEC implementation. Maybe IPsec is not appropriate on this case. Maybe openvpn fits better. [internet] | (proxy) (internal server) | [LAN] | (router) | [LAN-A] | ((VPN-Gateway-A)) | [wifi link] | ((VPN-Gateway-B)) | [LAN-B] Hope it is clear enough. -- Mr. Vandeley.

stack overflow
by Peter Doherty 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi, I've got a fileserver that runs Centos 5.2. It's been stable otherwise stable for maybe a year or more, and now it's crashed three times since Saturday. The first two times the computer was completely unresponsive, and there was nothing on the console, and nothing in the logs. I was beginning to suspect hardware, (esp. RAM, PSU, or maybe a failed fan) Last night it locked up again, but this time there was something in / var/log/messages. (see below) So far my searches indicate that increasing to 8K kernel stacks would fix this. The server has a couple 3ware SATA RAID cards, and I'm running xfs. The server does nightly disk to disk backups of a few dozen workstations. The server does always seem to crash overnight. If the problem really is in the kernel stack size, it's odd that it just started all of a sudden. I thought I'd post here before I looked into compiling a new kernel with 8K stacks.

Apache Config
by Joseph L. Casale 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

I am trying to setup moinmoin and my apache virtual host config looks like this: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.example.net DocumentRoot /<path to doc root> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Alias /moin_static181/ /usr/local/share/moin/htdocs ScriptAlias / /<path to doc root>/cgi-bin/moin.cgi </VirtualHost> But this breaks every link in moinmoin unless there is something in Alias like: Alias /foo /<path to doc root>/cgi-bin/moin.cgi which then leaves http://www.example.net/ as 404 sicne there is no default doc in the root? How can I avoid this so the wiki is available at the root? Thanks! jlc

Hi all, I have a new motherboard I am trying to install centos 5.2 x86_64 on. it has the mcp78b chipset. seems like the SATA disk is not detected. tells me no install media found. I tried the install line with "pci=nomsi" that did not help. I tried changing the SATA in the bios to AHCI and that did not help. Any thoughts on something to try? Jerry

vixie-cron package from RHEL 5 FasTrack?
by Alfred von Campe 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

What is the best way to get the RPM described in the following URL installed on CentOS 5.2: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0586.html I have users who can't run cron jobs because their home directories are NFS mounted, and I believe installing this RPM would fix the problem. I remember reading that the CentOS developers are working on supporting the RHEL FasTrack mechanism, but other than that I am not very familiar with the purpose and workings of FasTrack. For instance, will RHEL 5 Update 3 (and therefore CentOS 5.3) include this fix? Why wouldn't this RPM make it into the current update stream since it was released 6 months ago? Alfred

postfix relay and mail host for HPC cluster
by Tony Schreiner 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I've so far been unable to make the following work: I have a small cluster with a master node ( called bayes.bc.edu on the public network, and called master.cl.bc.edu on the internal 10.0.0.0 network). and a number of nodes which are purely on the private network. I want the master to receive mail and deliver locally (or use .forward and alias rules) to messages sent from the nodes to user@master, and I want it to relay non-local addresses to my campus relay host which is another machine. The relay part works ok, all mail addressed in a form that my campus relay host recognizes gets delivered. The problem is that mail to user(a)master.cl.bc.edu (the internal name) gets relayed to the campus relay which does not know about the host name master.cl.bc.edu because that is defined on a private DNS server for the cluster, and the campus relay rejects the message. How can I get my cluster master to not relay messages addressed to @master.cl.bc.edu? The queueing/resource manager (torque/pbs) wants to send automatic status messages to user(a)master.cl.bc.edu and that cannot easily be changed. Mail MTA is postfix for both master and nodes Some postfix settings on the master. myhostname = bayes.bc.edu mydomain = bc.edu myorigin = bayes.bc.edu inet_interfaces = master, localhost mynetworks = 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 relayhost = mail.bc.edu and some settings on the nodes mydomain = cl.bc.edu myorigin = bayes.bc.edu inet_interfaces = localhost relayhost = [master.cl.bc.edu] Thanks for any help, Tony Schreiner

Squirrel 1.4.8-8.el3.centos.1
by Henk van Lingen 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi, Last tuesday I upgraded squirrelmail on two centos-3 mailservers. squirrelmail-1.4.8-8.el3.centos.1, 2.4.21-58.ELsmp, CentOS release 3.9, httpd 2.0.46 Since then I have some users who have problems with their sessions. They are logout out every now and them, and some sent mails have another user address in the From header. It looks like squirrel is mixing up sessions? Those users have used fresh browser sesions. Anyone else seeing this? regards, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems Administrator & DBA (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University. /\ | phone: +31-30-2534107 v_/_ http://henk.vanlingen.net/ http://www.tuxtown.net/netiquette/

3Ware 9650SE tuning advice
by Ray Van Dolson 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hello fellow sysadmins! I've assembled a whitebox system with a SuperMicro motherboard, case, 8GB of memory and a single quad core Xeon processor. I have two 9650SE-8LPML cards (8 ports each) in each server with 12 1TB SATA drives total. Three drives per "lane" on each card. CentOS 5.2 x86_64. I'm looking for advice on tuning this thing for performance. Especially for the role of performing as either an NFS datastore for VMware or an iSCSI one. I set up two volumes (one for each card); one RAID6 and one RAID5. I used the default 64K block size and am trying various filesystems in tandem with it. I stumbled across the following recommendations on 3Ware's site: echo "64" > /sys/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb blockdev --setra 16384 /dev/sda echo "512" > /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests But am wondering if there are other things I should be looking at, including changing the IO scheduler. Any particular options I should use with filesystem creation to match up with my RAID block size? I also noted that there is a newer 3Ware driver (2.26.08.004) available than the one that comes stock with CentOS 5.2 (2.26.02.008). Not sure if I can expect performance improvement by "upgrading", and I imagine I'd have to mess with my initrd file in any case or boot with a driver disk option and blacklist the built-in driver... Thanks for any feedback! Ray

Areca 1220 kernel lockups
by William Taylor 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Has anyone experienced any problems with Areca raid cards specifically the 1220 causing kernels to lock up? We are running 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen on 64bit. We have "areca_cli rsf info" run once an hour from cron to check for raid raid issues. Having this running seems to cause the box to lock up. Whats weird is I can't seem to make it lock up while running that command by hand. If anyone has any insight on this it would be most appreciated. Thanks, William

"the server can be configured either to honor the client's intentions or ignore them. This is done with the statement allow client-updates; or the statement ignore client-updates;" This refers to the client updating its own A record. Ignore/allow here won't stop the DHCP server from attempting updates to BIND. "The DHCP server must be configured to use one of the two currently-supported methods, or not to do dns updates. This can be done with the ddns-update-style configuration parameter" You want to set ddns-update-style to 'none'. This should end the BIND update attempts (and failure logging).

CentOS-5.2 su -l is failing
by James B. Byrne 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

I am encountering an odd problem with su. Up until quite recently I was able to connect to one of my servers (CentOS-5.2) via ssh as an ordinary user and then, from the shell, perform an $ su -l to obtain root access. Now when I try to do this I see the following: $ su -l Password: su: incorrect password If, instead of I ssh to this machine as the root user ($ ssh -l root host) and enter exactly the same password from the same keyboard then I log in successfully as root. I have made no conscious changes to the target system configuration files and I know that the first method, logging in as a normal user and then su -l to root, was working just a few days ago. Review of the man and info pages does not enlighten me as to what might be wrong. The log file says this: Jan 14 12:00:22 inet01 sshd[15433]: Accepted password for myuser from x.x.x.x port 53458 ssh2 Jan 14 12:00:22 inet01 sshd[15433]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user myuser by (uid=0) Jan 14 12:00:32 inet01 su: pam_unix(su-l:auth): authentication failure; logname=myuser uid=500 euid=500 tty=pts/8 ruser=myuser rhost= user=root Any ideas as to what might be happening here and how I might fix it?

(Semi-OT) Problems with Firefox
by Sam Drinkard 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

List, After I think the last or next to last update to firefox, I started seeing some problems, wherein I no longer have a "back" function on any pages or tabs. Also, I get some kind of strange message.... "Assertion Failed ASSERT:***Search:_installLocation: engine has no file! Stack Trace: 0 ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!.2147500037) 1:()2:()3:()4:90:epsGetAttr([objectObject],hidden)5:906:907:currentEngine() 8:get_currentEngine()9:updateDisplay() 10:init() 11:([object XULElement],0) I realize this is not the proper place for FF related problems, but thought I'd ask if someone else has seen something like this happen. Prior to the last 2 updates, FF appeared to be working properly, and all the forward/back buttons worked. Assistance would be mighty helpful.. Thanks Sa,

Creating an iso image of a audio CD with K3B
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Can you do this? I have not found the options to get this to happen. So far I have seen how to read the Audio CD and make a directory of WAV files with a control file for later burning to CD, but I want an iso image that I can archive and burn audio CDs to use as they get used up.

AFAIK the DHCP client has no authority to register dynamic dns regardless of how the client machines are configured. It's the DHCP server that decides to update BIND and this can be turned on or off. My guess is your DHCP server is configured to update BIND when clients get new leases. Hence the errors reported by BIND when these attempts are made. Read up on the man pages for dhcpd.conf. In particular review the ddns-update-style and ddns-updates options. Scott -- Registered Linux user #395249, http://counter.li.org Nothing goes to waste when Little Fish are near!
