Postfix header check help
by Plant, Dean 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi list, I have a requirement for a mail server that only allows email to pass with a particular word in the subject line. Reading the header checks docs for Postfix I thought I may be able to add this rule: !/^Subject: .*dingdong/ REJECT Need to add dingdong to subject line to send Which should reject all mail unless the subject line contains "dingdong". Unfortunately this seems to block all mail from passing. Removing the "!" works as expected and the server allows all mail to pass, unless dingdong is in the subject line which is rejected. Is this rule valid? Or is there a better way to make this work? Thanks Dean

Poor RAID performance new Xeon server?
by Stewart Williams 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

I have just purchased an HP ProLiant HP ML110 G5 server and install ed CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on it. It has the following spec: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3065 @ 2.33GHz 4GB ECC memory 4 x 250GB SATA hard disks running at 1.5GB/s Onboard RAID controller is enabled but at the moment I have used mdadm to configure the array. RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller For a simple striped array I ran: # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 # mke2fs -j /dev/md0 # mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /mnt Attached are the results of 2 bonnie++ tests I made to test the performance: # bonnie++ -s 256m -d /mnt -u 0 -r 0 and # bonnie++ -s 1g -d /mnt -u 0 -r 0 I also tried 3 of the drives in a RAID 5 setup with gave similar results. Is it me or are the results poor? Is this the best I can expect from the hardware or is something wrong? I would appreciate any advice or possible tweaks I can make to the system to make the performance better. The block I/O is the thing that concerns me as mostly I am serving a 650MB file via samba to 5 clients and I think this is where I need the speed. Plus I am hoping to run some virtualised guests on it eventually, but nothing too heavy.

Hi I tried to install the kernel Red Hat 5.3 x86_64 (2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64) with the command: rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64.rpm but there is problem with dependecy: ecryptfs-util < 44. How to solve problems with depencies when installing a beta kernel? I'm trying this kernel to see if I get CentOS working with the wireless iw4965. I tried the drivers from Intel, but the compilation failed. Thanks Marcelo

Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts
by Vandaman 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these people by flouting the mailing list guidelines. This is an example of top-posting http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-January/070494.html There are legitimate newbies who top-post because they know no different and can acquaint themselves with the mailing list guidelines at http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 Maybe the guidelines can updated to say trimming of emails as well and maybe link to examples on Wikipedia of top-posting and bottom-posting. Newbies aside, there are guys still top-posting who have ignored polite offlist messages not to top-post. Its not the time to be nannying people over how to behave on mailing list. Regards, Vandaman.

RAID level and killing a job
by Scott R. Ehrlich 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

First question - under CentOS 5, if I created non LVM partitions on a server with 6 disks - 2 disks are RAID 1 (OS), how do I remind myself or inquire the type of RAID of the remaining 4 disks (RAID 1 or RAID 5), without having to reboot? Second question - A newly installed server consisting of CentOS 5.2, straight off the DVD, I invoke a command by hand, realize I want to kill it soon after (logged in as root). I issue ps auwx|grep name_of_command, get the PID, and issue kill -9 PID. ps auwx|grep name_of_command is still running. The command is NOT part of any scheduled job. Why won't the process die? How else can I kill it without a system reboot? The command does not get invoked with a script, and is not a script itself - just a standalone binary. I tried CNTL-Z and CNTL-C. I finally killed the terminal it was running from. Nothing works. pkill doesn't work, either. Thanks. Scott, CISSP

gcc 4.1 and OpenMP?
by Davide Cittaro 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I was modifying a source to add OpenMP capabilities. I knew that gcc supports OpenMP since version 4.2, so I've compiled a recent (4.3.2) gcc and installed in my home directory, this because gcc shipped with CentOS 5.2 is 4.1. I've then noticed that my executable links /usr/lib64/libgomp.so, installed with gcc 4.1 from CentOS rpms... Is CentOS default compiler OpenMP ready? Does this mean I don't have to compile my own compiler? Thanks d Davide Cittaro davide.cittaro(a)ifom-ieo-campus.it

No, the main problem is that A is behind my ISP's NAT. I want to access it from C (yes, I'll be travelling a lot and C might be just about anywhere). But the problem is that since A is behind a NAT, the connection must be initiated from A's side to C. Also, since C might be behind some other NAT, the connection must be initiated from C's side to A. This simply cannot work simultaneously, so I tried to make use of my public server B which can be used as a "bridge" between A and C. So, A connects to B, C connects to B, and then A and C communicate. Roughly speaking... That was my initial idea, but seems too complicated to work out, so I asked for a possible easier alternative. :-) > Or if want your own set up you could of course for example run some > sort of remote access service like VNC and just pay for a static IP > for Machine A from its ISP and set up Port Forwarding for VNC That would be the most obvious solution, if only the ISP were willing to give me a static IP.

Hmmm... This is interesting. I'll look up to www.no-ip.com, but I think that such dns trick may work only with public IP numbers. And A's IP is of type 10.0.*.* which is a no-go, afaik. However, I might ask the ISP to provide me with a public IP. It could still be dynamic, but public rather than local, and in that case the trick with the dns just might work... ;-) Thanks for the pointer! Best, :-) Marko

Bugs in yum update
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

This is a continuation of the thread: "yum update fails: CentOS 5.2". I installed a fresh Centos 5.2 and ran yum update. It ran correctly, except for these issues: 1. As previously mentioned, after deciding what it is going to do, It doesn't ask if its ok. But if I type y<enter> it reports: Is this ok [y/N]: Downloading Packages: 2. During the long period it is downloading files, it doesn't print anything, giving the impression that nothing is happening. Watching the lights, and using WireShark and ARIN, I determined that it was downloading from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I decided that was good. During the install phase, the expected logging appeared. 3. When it said it was finished, it didn't exit the yum process; I did it with CRTL-C . Mike.

[OT] Remote control of a WinXP machine from a Linux host
by Marko Vojinovic 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Sorry for an off topic post, but a lot of you folks are sysadmins here or there, and just might have a suggestion... ;-) I have a WinXP machine that is to be unattended for a period of 3 years (yes, I know, it sounds ridiculous, but still...). What I need is remote access to it to perform regular system maintenance, virus cleanups, occasional software installations, reboots, config changes, etc. Of course, rdesktop would do it, or vnc server or something else. The problem is that this machine is behind a NAT, and I cannot access it remotely from outside (and I need access from whereever on the planet I may happen to be). Basically, I need to setup some type of ssh tunnelling from XP (machine A) to my static-IP-24/7-high-bandwidth-CentOS server (machine B) and then further to my laptop (machine C, Fedora 10) located elsewhere (possibly behind another NAT, I can't know in advance). I have root access for all three machines (A, B and C). Of course, all three are on different LANs. However, I have never done anything like this before, so I wonder what is the best method of creating such a setup? One of my ideas was to make some script on A which would connect to B once every 15 minutes or so, look for a flagfile, and if present, initiate connection with C directly or through B if necessary. That means, if I want access from C to A, I ssh from C to B and create a flagfile, wait 15 minutes or so, and a rdesktop (or vnc or other) appears on my laptop. In theory. Or is there some other XP-tool that might do what I want out of the box? However, it need be absolutely automatic, there will be nobody around to do anything locally on A once I leave it. Another idea I had was to have machine A running as a virtual machine on a CentOS host (vmware or such would suffice). Then I could easily configure the above A-to-B-to-C scenario, shutdown the virtual A, pull its hard disk file to C, start it locally, perform maintenance, push it back to host A and run it again as a vm. But this is highly complicated, takes too much time and bandwidth, so I hope something simpler is available. Yet another idea is to ask A's ISP to provide a static IP for that machine, or to forward some available port to A, which could be used by rdesktop in some customized fashion. But the ISP may refuse such requests, and I need a robust solution. Yet even another idea is to put another CentOS machine (D) between A and A's ISP (create a local LAN). Then initiate ssh -X connection from C to D (somehow, via flagfile scenario or such), and then rdesktop from D to A over a local LAN. The main problem is NAT, if machine A had a world-accessible IP, I would just rdesktop from C to A, but alas, it doesn't... :-( Any suggestions about the best way of doing this? Thanks, :-) Marko

There are security updates upstream for CentOS (4 and 5) and it looks like the CentOS 5 ones have been rebuilt and rolled out. How come the CentOS 4 branch lags behind, or are the CentOS 5 devs different from the CentOS 4 devs? If more volunteers are needed I'm sure assistance could be offered by the CentOS community.

I just applied the BIND updates. Then I fixed the one file that had a second include of named.ca (remembered that from last time) and did a 'service named restart', and it failed. In messages I found: Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: /etc/named.conf:11: open: /etc/named.acl: permission denied Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: loading configuration: permission denied Jan 10 21:31:17 z9m9z named[31001]: exiting (due to fatal error) Oh, I remember this from the last update... So off to /var/named/chroot/etc and do a 'chown named:named *' then named started. This apparent changing of file ownership in installing a new set of bind updates so that named cannot access the files seems like something is broken somewhere.

I can't kill it with CRTL-C, but I killed the yum process with kill -9 from another window. I retried it several times; same result. Thanks for your help. Mike.

hostapd or other AP software for Centos
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Is there a recent rpm available for hostapd? I found 0.6.0 over at atrpms.net via rpmfind. Actually a more recent ver than available for FC8,9, or 10! But http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/ shows the current version is 0.6.7. And does anyone have this running on Centos? Is there a 'better' AP software? I have the Atheros card in my notebook for this....

I just removed the "current" version of wxGTK (rpm -e wxGTK-2.8.9-1.el5.rf ) and then installed audacity-1.3.0b-1.el5.rf and wxGTK-2.6.3-1.el5.rf by doing a "yum localinstall." Seems to work fine although I have to do updates as "yum --exclude wxGTK update" or the update fails dependency checks. I posted more about how I solved the issues on my blog at http://davenjudy.org/davesBlog/node/40 There could be an issue if some package other than audacity needs the more recent version of wxGTK but I didn't have to force the removal of the package. This tells me that the easiest way to resolve this issue may be to just "hold" wxGTK at 2.6.3-1 until the next version of audacity is ready for prime time. Anyone know of any other packages that are dependent on wxGTK and need the most recent version? Finally, if you don't want to mess with any of this, you can convert an mp3 to wav using mpg123: mpg123 -w infile.wav outfile.mp3 Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Dealing with 800x480 displays

Has anyone worked around the display size limit on units like the ASUS eee? They list a 800x480 display resolution, and I have encountered Gnome dialogs that require at least 800x600 to see the <OK> button on the bottom of the panel.

Can sound be redirected from a remote computer to local computer?
by dcw 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

I need to redirect the sound from a remote Centos 5.2 computer to my local Centos 5.2 computer. Both are i386 OS. Searching the web and Centos web site has indicated that it is possible but I have not found any information about how to do it. I am currently using ssh and/or vnc to display the remote computer locally. At this point, the sound is being played on the remote computer only. Thanks for any help, David

ZFS on Linux
by Mag Gam 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

I am planning to use ZFS on my Centos 5.2 systems. The data I am storing is very large text files where each file can range from 10M to 20G. I am very interested on the compression feature of ZFS, and it seems no other native Linux FS supports it. My question are: Is ZFS stable? How does it scale for very large filesytems, ie, 2TB to 9TB? How is the performance of fuse? I plan to use it on my archive server first, so data reliability is very important Any thoughts or ideas? TIA

Can't update CentOS 5.2

Hi, I've just installed a fresh CentOS 5.2 Now, I run "yum update" and I get: "Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again" I have Internet connection, but I cant ping mirrorlist.centos.org and http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os just stalls. Is there another "mirror list" and if so, how do I configure it ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, -- :wq! Mário Gamito

Programming ressources
by Guy Boisvert 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Hi! It may be a little OT but i'm searching for a c/c++ programmer for the development of a remote controlled multimedia player that would run under CentOS with Aja OEM card. We'd use this player in our fully automatic TV broadcast system. We currently have a player (developed in house) that works mostly ok on Winblows but it lacks many features like remote monitoring (SNMP or something like that), fault management, etc. The code is not documented and there are problems migrating from Stradis SDM-275 card to SDM-290, from Win2000 to XP, etc. I was thinking that their should be programmers on the CentOS mailing list. Sorry if i bother other list members with my request. We are based in Montréal, Province of Quebec, Canada. Frankly, we have to find a Winblows programmer first to evaluate the documentationless code we have for our current player. With the obligation to go digital and the fact that we may even have to go HD, we'll want to go Linux and get an ultra-stable platform. It would be nice to evaluate if something like VLC or MPLayer could provide the functionality we want too. If there is some project/job/project site, please let me know. Please respond offlist. I'll make a resumé of what i found for the list if there is interest for that. Regards, Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc.

Yum-updatesd version in reports?

Hi, I've just startted configuring yum-updatesd on all our servers to install updates automatically and it works great. But I don't see anywhere in its config or command line options a way to find which package version was replaced by which. Is this achieveable in any way or should I resort to some home-grown scripting again? Thanks. -Amos

Update to Centos 5 anaconda kickstart %post bug?
by Warren, Eucke 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Is there a process for finding status updates to open bugs within Centos? The particular bug I am talking about is 0002329 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2329. This was assigned on 01-20-2008 and, as far as I can tell, there's been no action other than it being acknowledged. I've also searched upstream with RHEL and FC and I cannot seem to find a bug report there though complaints of the problem can be found through searching the web. I do see the manual fix for it and will be testing that shortly. I am, however, dealing with a fairly rigid internal legal department that may not welcome a "fix" that's not "official". So I have two questions: 1) Is there an "official" or "accepted" way to inquire about the status of an open bug? 2) With regard to bug 0002329 is this something that has to be fixed upstream so it filters down to centos? Thank you! Eucke

Put your mail/web services on one box and database/LDAP on another. Also, for such a large installation you may even want to look at their commercially supported editions. Last time I checked (admittedly quite a while ago) the pricing wasn't too horrendous and I've heard good things about their support staff. We've always opted to go with the pure open source aka self-supported version but then again we're running installations with fewer than 300 users.

Cleaning up an RPM repository.
by Friedrich Clausen 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello All, At my $WORK we have lots of in-house applications used to support the services we offer to customers and we deploy these to servers as RPMS. This works well for us except we have thousands of obsolete packages in our Yum repository that need to be cleaned up. What I would like to achieve is to keep the latest version + the last 3 revisions of a package and delete the older revisions. I was attempting to do this based on file timestamps but they are not reliable and in some cases packages were restored from backup in a way that did not preserve timestamps. So I am investigating writing a Perl script to do this but it is far from trivial due to the vast variety of version and release strings used. And there are certain situations in which the version strings are completely ambiguous (even to me) but, even if those have to be handled manually, then great time savings in cleaning up the rest automatically can still be achieved. So, before I start (re)inventing this particular wheel, I thought I would check with the folks on this list since I cannot be the only person with this problem. Are there any ready to use tools available to trim down an overwheight RPM repository by deleting obsolete packages? Many thanks! Fred.

Hierarchial storage management or automated archival to tape
by Bent Terp 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi list! While regular backup solutions like amanda or bacula are very good at their job, ie keeping point2point copies of the files currently on disk, I find them less suited for archiving - having unused files move to tape in duplo and stay there until requested. I've even read of multi-tier solutions - move to slower disks after a week and further on to tape after a month. Does anyone have some experience or suggestions for this? The project will deal with ~100 TB of growth per year, most files somewhere between 2 and 50 GB. Yes, it can be done with everything in one filesystem, but I'm concerned about running a full backup every month of 500 TB ;-) Not to mention the time required for recovery in case the filesys crashes.... BR Bent

Problems with RPM Database, usual techniques not working to recover DB
by Brian Lynch 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

I have a CentOS 5.2 i386 Development server that has a rpm db problem that I can't seem to solve. I have followed all the advice on Daniel Berrange's page on rpm db recovery: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/notes/rpmrecovery.html With no results, all I get from "rpm -qa" is list of two public gpg keys that are listed in the file system root. My question is where do I start to recover from this? Do I reinstall rpm? So far rpm refuses to do so (using any of the command line options and combination of options), I could do it with a tar command from source rpm file, or is that asking for more trouble? Looking for feedback on ideas to recover this system, it had a nasty crash with the install of new kernel that fixed the plusxen kernel problem in early December and I'm trying to get it back on its feet again. If you want the whole blow by blow account you can find it at this posting in the CentOS forum: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18006&forum=37 Thank You In Advance for any advice you may be able to give, ------------- Brian Lynch
