cmirror - CentOS
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Greetings, I might have missed something in the list here.. But could someone point out some introductory material / docs regarding cmirror? Is there something (even beta would do) in CentOS to read and understand about this? OT- On Fossils: While I cannot claim "Fossil state" anywhere near some of the people who were doing cards -- I knew about them though -- when I was born, I have had my spell flicking switches to select boot device on a Texas Instrument DS 990 switching between the "Washing machine" disk and the 9" tape drive. (Now this is in India when a lot of restrictions -- both by Indian and other governments -- were there in Technology imports) The interesting part of it was the entirely memory mapped design and barely a few registers... and then in Prime 750 which had 5 huge boards which constituted a CPU. and a "hefty" amount of RAM -- 8MB. The thigs is they worked 24x7 and we were required to give a month's notice before shutting them down / rebooting unless there was a breakdown which was very rare. Just like Linux ^H^H^H^H^H^H Centos Servers Regards Rajagopal

"core" installs of 5.2 missing crucial packages like yum, selinux-policy-targeted, vim-minimal, etc.
by Johnny Tan 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I had a 5.0 kickstart server which did "core" installs of CentOS (i.e.: "%packages --nobase"). I recently setup a 5.2 kickstart server. Using the same kickstart configs, I notice a few packages are always missing, notably: yum (!!), selinux-policy-targeted (even though I have "selinux --enforcing" in the kickstart, it always ends up with that package missing and selinux disabled), vim-minimal, etc. Looking at comps.xml for 5.2 os tree, it shows all of these packages in the "core" group, just like 5.0 does. So it's not that the "core" group has changed. Looking at the Release Notes for 5.2, I see this entry: "Kickstart scripts that worked for 5.0 and/or 5.1 may have issues on CentOS 5.2 installation trees. So first test your kickstart scripts with CentOS 5.2 before using them in production." I'm guessing this has something to do with my problem, but there's no further details. Does anyone have any insight into the above Release Notes entry, and/or my problem in general? p.s. I setup a 2nd kickstart server in a completely different environment, and am still seeing the same issue. I'm about to try a CD-based install of 5.2 and see if that also has the issue. johnn

how to get rid of "kerberos"
by Marcelo M. Garcia 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi How to get rid of kerberos, or at least to prevent to go into path? Where is defined the path for users? I need to configure and use rtools (I know that I should use ssh, but I need rtools) and I think very annoying the messages from Kerberized rsh or rlogin, like this: -sh-3.2$ rsh kitten02 connect to address 192.168.89.2 port 543: Connection refused Trying krb4 rlogin... connect to address 192.168.89.2 port 543: Connection refused trying normal rlogin (/usr/bin/rlogin) Last login: Tue Jun 3 20:17:32 from kitten01 -sh-3.2$ But if kerberos is not in path, everything works fine: -sh-3.2$ rsh kitten02 Last login: Tue Jun 3 20:13:13 from kitten01 -sh-3.2$ Thanks Marcelo

Minimal CentOS
by Puneet Goel 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi! and a warm hello to the CentOS team. I have a work for which I need some solution from you. Actually we have some thin clients where we want to put a light weight Linux distro for users. As of now I have tested with Fedora and Ubuntu distros but the issue I am finding is they are not able to fit in my requirement of flash based hard disk consumption (~500 MB). although a distro named TinyME which is a custom version of PCLinuxOS seems to be very near and with a little customization by putting XFCE it was around 600MB. but it is not well known and supported. I have also tried CentOS 5 and 4 (with bare minimum installation) but it is coming little heavy, however later on I came across a link (http://www.owlriver.com/tips/tiny-centos/) providing a kickstart file for a bare minimum CentOS 4. It gave me CentOS 4 which ate around 400 MB. However it was little near to my specs but without a usable Desktop (KDE and Gnome seems to be out of question because of heavy size). Now I need some suggestions from you to make it work on my system. I need a light version of CentOS (I am very much particular about OS identity and the final product will retain the parent OS identity and quality). Can you provide me some kickstart file or something else which can help me in making a final thing. I do not need eye candies/OpenOffice/Adobe flash/Games/Media Player etc. Just a usable desktop, a lightweight file browser and desktop with icons (may be XFE). Redundant locale, man, doc, /lib/modules etc. will be removed as well. Karan told me that he heard someone installing CentOS 5 in 500MB. Can anyone point me in right direction. any kickstart file or iso will be of great help. At my personal end I would prefer to put CentOS (As it is based on RHEL and has an excellent community around). Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks and Regards, Puneet

When you use --no-depchk with this tool, does this actually turn off the dependency check in the final rpm as well? Reading docs about this I am not sure and I just installed an rpm that I know I am missing the deps for and built with this switch and it installed fine? Thanks, jlc

Kickstart package groups
by Francisco Puente 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hello, I'm building another kickstart CD, minimal, and creating my own repository. Is there any way I can get the list of files that a group (like @core o @base) will install? The idea is to put only those files in the repository to be included later in the iso file, and only those files, nothing else. Thanks in advance Francisco

'severe errors' listed in nightly logwatch emails
by Ray Leventhal 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

HI folks, If this is the wrong forum for this question, please let me know (with a gentle pointer to the right place)...TIA for that. I've started to receive some 'Severe Errors' in my nightly logwatch emails. As the system had been initially misconfigured for logwatch emails, I've only recently begun to receive them, so I'm not entirely sure when this started. (long story) Lets start with the basics of the machine: # uname -a Linux generic.example.com 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 07:41:53 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # rpm -qa|grep release centos-release-5-2.el5.centos As the output was verbose, I posted it on pastebin. http://pastebin.com/m1a9eb219 If anyone has any information or suggestions here, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Sendmail and pmtu discovery
by Sean Carolan 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

We have an issue with some customers who refuse to accept ICMP traffic to their mail servers. It seems that they have put Mordac, preventer of information services in charge of their firewall policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_characters_in_Dilbert#Mordac) My mail logs are showing that customers who specifically disallow ICMP traffic have many "Connection Reset" entries in our logs: Oct 14 08:00:50 mailsrv sendmail[2024]: m9ED0Yf5002021: to=<customername(a)customer.org>, delay=00:00:16, xdelay=00:00:16, mailer=esmtp, pri=42476, relay=mail.customer.org. [XX.XX.XX.XX], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection reset by mail.customer.org. I have disabled pmtu discovery on our routers as well as on all our outbound mail servers. Is there anything else I can do on our side to help the situation?

Problem selecting installation drive : 5.2
by Alex H. Vandenham 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

When doing the 5.2 installation the ONLY drive option provided is mapper/nvidia_cbjcdhfe (250G) My system has 2 SATA - 250G drives and I want to use them in a RAID/LVM configuration. My question: How do I get the installer to let me use DiskDruid to create RAID1 arrays and then use LVM for the mount points? What I've done so far: I've verified that both drives are recognized by going to the shell screen and using fdisk to access both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - so I know they are both available. I've also tried using the Centos 4.7 installer where I can do exactly what I want. I've accepted the default and after a full install of 5.2 there is no raid and total space is 250G. I've looked at the various deployment guides and installation guides but can't find how to do this . . . . puzzled Alex === -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Avantel Systems, and is believed to be clean.

Apparently no swap configured
by Ian Masters 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hello, I'm in a slightly unusual situation and I'd really appreciate some advice. I installed CentOS 5.2 on a server about a month ago. Today I happened to check the 'free' command and noticed that the Swap line reads as follows: Swap: 0 0 0 I'm pretty certain that when I installed the OS and created a custom partition table, that I defined a swap partition, but there is no swap line in /etc/fstab either. However the output of 'lvm> lvdisplay' contains the following information (amongst others): --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/swap VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID 7uOBcj-tN16-uAbO-3nyy-3scZ-SAEA-7HKWPW LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 1.94 GB Current LE 62 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:5 Also 'ls' confirms that logical volume exists: [root@mail ~]# ls -l /dev/VolGroup00/swap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Sep 30 11:30 /dev/VolGroup00/swap -> /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-swap I'd like to know: 1. How can I check how this logical volume is formatted (and if it is formatted)? 2. Is it possible to use this logical volume? If I add a line to /etc/fstab, what are the chances of rendering my system unbootable? The server is in use and presently doesn't have any memory problems, and while it's not mission critical server I'd rather not mess it up with any ill-thought out tinkering. If anyone can give me some advice on this I'd be very grateful. Thanks Ian Masters

Help with custom udev rule

Hi, I am trying create a custom udev rule to change the group and permissions on /dev/net/tun. Some research indicated that rather than directly editing the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules that I should create my own local rules file something like 10-local.rules which contains KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660" But unfortunately when I reboot the permissions are still 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 200 Oct 24 14:09 /dev/net/tun Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or point me to some clear documentation about creating custom udev rules. Thanks

Recommended Configuration Control Software?
by Sean Carolan 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

We have several dozen production Linux servers and I would like to have better control over what files are changed, by whom, when they were changed, etc. Because these are all production servers that are in use 24x7, we do not have the luxury of simply doing a clean build, taking md5sums of each file, and then doing fresh installations. I need a system that can take in-place snapshots of each server's configuration files, store them in some kind of database or text file, and notify me whenever something changes. I've used tripwire in the past - do you have any other recommendations for this type of project?

dumpe2fs and repquota not agreeing on block size
by Neil Aggarwal 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hello: I am trying to set up user quotas on my /var partition to enforce limits on user's mailbox sizes. The machine is running CentOS 5. When I do this: /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/md2 | grep 'Block size' Block size: 4096 That tells me the block size is 4k. But, if I do: repquota /var It is telling me that one of my users is currently using 10264 blocks. But, if I look at their mail file, it is 10493792 bytes, which means they should be using 2562 blocks or so. Also, if I do: df /var I get this Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 39674140 20401792 17224468 55% /var Which tells me the blocks are 1K in size. The repquota result makes much more sense with a 1K block size. Any idea why dumpe2fs is giving a 4K block size?

ls and rm: "argument list too long"

Since when is there a limit in how long directory listings CentOS can show (ls), or how large directories can be removed (rm). It is really annoying to say, for example rm -rf /var/amavis/tmp and get only "argument list too long" as feedback. Is there a way to go round this problem?

Hi all, Sorry for the OT. Does anyone can share to how to reset an IBM Bladecenter Advance Management Module web access? Recently, I've got an IBM Bladecenter chassis E 8677. There's no one in the office who knows about the IP nor the password for it. Thank you, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 13:10:54 up 5:02, 2.6.24-18-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.

GIMP 2.4 packages for CentOS 5
by Niki Kovacs 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hi, One of my rare regrets with CentOS 5 was that GIMP only came in version 2.2, but 2.4 offers many nifty new functions quite handy for everyday work. For those of you who are interested, I built some GIMP 2.4 packages for CentOS 5. Download and install (using rpm -Uvh) the following packages: http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/gimp-2.4.6-1.zzz.i386.r… http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/gimp-libs-2.4.6-1.zzz.i… http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/gtk2-2.10.14-4.zzz.i386… http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/libexif-0.6.15-3.zzz.i3… http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/pygtk2-2.10.6-1.zzz.i38… http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/pygtk2-codegen-2.10.6-1… http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/pygtk2-libglade-2.10.6-… Runs nice and doesn't wreck anything :o) Enjoy!

Help with a sun cobalt with sendmail and centos with postfix
by Erick Perez 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hi, I have a customer with a sun cobalt running Sendmail 8.10.2/8.10.2 and we are phasing out the sun cube due to some limitations. So we have installed a new centos 5.x server. the format of our current emails are username(a)domain.com and the new format will be name.lastname(a)domain.com. We have 1600 accounts. Both server are in the LAN. The MX record that the world sees, point to our current AV/AntiSpam appliance, then our AV appliance forwards to the mail server (its a trendmicro IMSS) The AV appliance lets me define rules that emails for username(a)domain.com should be sent to the mailserver with the cube, and it also let me define a rule for name.lastname(a)domain.com to be sent to the centos machine, so I have covered the "from internet" inbound email issue. going out to the internet, both servers can send emails perfectly. However, Since both servers will "answer" to the same domain, i need some guidance as to how to 1- If user hosted on the Sun sendmail Cube sends emails to name.lastname(a)domain.com, make the Cube forward/send the email to the Centos machine. 2- If user hosted in centos, sends email to username(a)domain.com, make the POSTFIX forward/send the email to the Cube machine. Due to internal regulations i must say that: 1- users cannot be moved all at once. 2- centos machine must use postfix - not sendmail. I can however, install sendmail on centos and make it listen in another port other than 25 if some solution arises that needs sendmail in both sides. Anyways, any guidance as to how to solve this mess is welcomed!!!!

firefox is incredibly unstable
by sbeam 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

does anyone else have major probs with Firefox as installed on CentOS5? ever since the RPM for FF3 came out it has been crashing daily. Usually when I use Save As... or Browse... or anything else that brings up the Gnome file picker. After the crash I re-start then the file picker works for a while. Sometimes it just takes scrolling or click+drag an image or some other random action. BANG your'e dead. Very frustrating. Now today it is just crashing randomly, I am not even touching it. Maybe one of my plugins, I know. I guess I will run it with debugger/strace. but does anyone else see this? $ rpm -qa firefox firefox-3.0.2-3.el5.centos $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) $ rpm -qa kdebase kdebase-3.5.4-18.el5.centos

OT: Setting a CentOS to gateway a private IP address
by James B. Byrne 24 Oct '08

This is mildly off topic since it has more to do with TCP/IP networking than with CentOS per se. However, at the risk of ruffling a few feathers I would like some advice on how to resolve the following routing problem: Given: dual homed host running CentOS-5.2 with eth0 = 2xx.yyy.zzz.23 eth1 = 192.168.219.1 and a Cisco gateway at 2xx.1xx.y7y.1 with the following networks: interface FastEthernet0/1 description connected to EthernetLAN ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 secondary ip address 172.16.0.1 255.240.0.0 secondary ip address 192.168.71.1 255.255.255.0 secondary ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 secondary ip address 2xx.yyy.zzz.1 255.255.255.0 ip access-group 101 in ip inspect FastEthernet_0_1 in speed 100 full-duplex ! router rip version 2 passive-interface FastEthernet0/0 network 10.0.0.0 network 172.16.0.0 network 192.168.0.0 network 2xx.yyy.zzz.0 no auto-summary ! ip classless ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/0 and with the following routes on the CentOS host: # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.219.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 2xx.yyy.zzz.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default gw-fibrewire 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 # ip route 192.168.219.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.219.1 2xx.yyy.zzz.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 2xx.yyy.zzz.23 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 scope link default via 2xx.yyy.zzz.1 dev eth0 The situation is this. >From the host itself I can ping 192.168.218.102 on 192.168.219.0/24 >From any other host on 2xx.1xx.y7y.0/24 I can ping 192.168.219.1 >From any other host on 2xx.1xx.y7y.0/24 I cannot ping 192.168.219.102 What setup steps on the CentOS host have I overlooked or what configuration errors have I committed?

Certain scripts "hang" the terminal on logout

I have an init script that after running, causes my terminal not to log out cleanly. Here's what i mean: # /etc/init.d/script restart << this runs fine, returns my shell prompt # exit << When I enter this command, my shell window just stays "stuck" and actually won't close down. Anyone know why this happens?

What keeps logging to my console?
by Dirk H. Schulz 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi folks, I have lots of messages like these appearing on my local CentOS 5.2 consoles: > Oct 17 12:03:29 machine kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed. > Oct 17 12:03:29 machine kernel: pbond0: received packet with own address as source address I have disabled console logging in syslog.conf, and even if I shut down syslog and kernel logger, the messages keep coming on the local consoles (not on remote consoles). So the question is: What process logs directly to the console bypassing syslog/kernel log facilities? How can I find where to stop that? Thanks for any hint or help. Dirk

Export restrictions on CentOS 5

What are the export restrictions on CentOS 5.x? Since it's a rebuild of RHEL I'd suspect it has similar restrictions to what Red Hat has outlined at the following page: http://www.redhat.com/licenses/export/ Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

freeradius DNIS

Centos/Fedora core won't talk to an Epson Workforce 600 printer
by Charles Campbell 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello! Has anyone had any luck getting CUPS to talk to an Epson Workforce 600 printer? I got pipslite and eklite.ppd extracted (and modified it to use Letter instead of A4) but I can't seem to get CUPS to talk succesfully with the printer. The printer configuration under Gnome widget does show that CUPS detected something (pipslite:...) but when I try to use it I get a wrapper error. The wrapper itself is in binary so there's not much I can make of it. This was done with the Workforce600 in wireless mode. I've had no luck with various combinations so far with direct ethernet, wireless ethernet, http:, ipp:, lpd, socket: attempts. Regards, Chip Campbell

Like much documentation, it is possibly a wonderful aide memoire for somebody who knows the subject intimately but it is a little terse and somewhat sparse for someone with no prior knowledge and little time. The difficulty that I need to address is what ripd configuration provides rip info regarding 192.168.219.0/24 connected via eth1 out to all networks connected via 2xx.yyy.zzz.0/24 on eth0. Must I configure a virtual IP from 192.168.219.0/24 on eth0 as well as eth1 or not? Do I just set ripd.conf to: router rip network 192.168.219.0/24 Is that all that is required? Recall that the purpose of this exercise is to simultaneously provide interim public and private ipv4 address connectivity on the same physical lan behind our Internet router. The long term objective is to remove the public address space from the lan. At that point this finessing becomes unnecessary. For example: INET Router: eth0 IP 2xx.yyy.bbb.64 eth1 IP 2xx.yyy.zzz.1 IP 192.168.71.1 ip 10.0.0.1 network 2xx.yyy.zzz.0/24 network 192.168.0.0/16 network 10.0.0.0/8 host1: eth0 IP 2xx.yyy.zzz.22 host2: eth0 IP 2xx.yyy.zzz.23 eth1 IP 192.168.219.1 host3: eth0 IP 192.168.219.102 host4: eth0 IP 192.168.71.65 INET Router <<-------->> SWITCH host1/eth0 <<--------->> SWITCH host2/eth0 <<--------->> SWITCH host2/eth1 <<--------->> HUB host3/eth0 <<--------->> HUB host4/eth0 <<--------->> SWITCH How do I set up ripd on host2 so that host4 (192.168.71.65) reaches host3 (192.168.219.102) via host2 (2xx.yyy.zzz.23)? Clearly the ripd info for 192.168.219.0/24 must go out 216.185.71.23 but I am unclear as to what ripd.conf configuration settings accomplish this. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

strict memory
by Mag Gam 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello All: Running 5.2 at our university. We have several student's processes that take up too much memory. Our system have 64G of RAM and some processes take close to 32-48G of RAM. This is causing many problems for others. I was wondering if there is a way to restrict memory usage per process? If the process goes over 32G simply kill it. Any thoughts or ideas? TIA
