Certain scripts "hang" the terminal on logout
by Sean Carolan 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

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
by Michael Madden 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

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
by Paul A 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Not sure if this is off topic but I installed freeradius with yum on centos 5 and I'm hoping someone has some advice on getting DNIS proxy working In the acct_users file I have DEFAULT Called-Station-Id == "5500", Proxy-To-Realm := "xxx" Fall-Through = yes In the proxy file I have realm xxx { type = radius authhost = xxxx:1645 accthost = xxxx:1646 secret = something } But when I test it never seems to trigger the DNIS proxy setup. This is what I get below, also named realms are working. rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 209.213.66.12:1650, id=114, length=94 User-Name = "ectest" User-Password = "test123" NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 NAS-Port = 1 Called-Station-Id = "5500" Proxy-State = 0x471e493f7f0000010495000000000000000000000000000000000000 Processing the authorize section of radiusd.conf modcall: entering group authorize for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "chap" returns noop for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "mschap" returns noop for request 0 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "ectest", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 0 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns notfound for request 0 modcall: leaving group authorize (returns ok) for request 0 auth: No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the request: Rejecting the user auth: Failed to validate the user.

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

Creating a controlled local repo
by Sorin Srbu 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi all, I've been thinking about creating a local repo for our to-be CentOS-park (we're currently in the process of migrating from RHEL3 to CentOS5). As we need to control all updates being applied (think WUS, Windows Update Server) because of special software being run on servers and clients, we must check first that our molecular modeling software doesn't bite the grass should eg X, the kernel (and breaking the proprietary nvidia gfx-drivers in the process) etc be updated in a "non-approved" way. Therefore I've planned to create a local repo on one of our servers, share /var/cache/yum, set keepcache to 1 on that server and have it reposync periodically (like once a week) with CentOS Base, Extras, rpmforge and so on. On the clients I'd disable all standard repos, and only have the clients yum update from the aforementioned local repo server. Would this work? Or is there a cleaner/nicer/better/simpler way to do this? Gotchas' maybe? Any feedback is appreciated.

DHCP static hosts and subnet configuration
by Marcus Moeller 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi all. I have set up a DHCP server with multiple subnet configurations (let's say subnet A and B). Within that I have declared pools and static hosts addresses. Now, if I have set up a static host entry (with fixed-address) in Subnet B for a specific machine and try to connect to Subnet A with that NIC (where it should obtain an address from the range), this does not work unless I add a static host entry for that machine to the Subnet A declaration, too. I even have to assign a fixed-address, there. I just want the NIC to clain it's address from the range on Subnet A and to assign a fixed address on Subnet B. Best Regards Marcus

Replacement for Intel SDS2 Motherboard
by Camron W. Fox 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Alle, We have recently had one of our office servers go south. The hardware was an Intel SDS2 motherboard (EATX), Dual Intel PIII 1.4GHz FC-PGA2-L2 512KB, 3GB (6x512MB) 168 pin DIMM, SDRAM 133MHz/PC-133-ECC with 1x3Ware 7006-2 and 2x3Ware 7506-4LP RAID controllers. The OS was RHEL3. Apparently, according to the beep codes, there has been an FRB failure. I've migrated most of the services (mail,web,proxy,samba,mysql,mailman,home directories) to an interim box running CentOS 5.2. At a minimum, I need to replace the motherboard and CPUS (I'm told they are unrecoverable). All the remaining hardware I plan to re-use, as well as moving from RHEL to CentOS. Does anyone have any recommendations on replacement motherboards with CentOS 5.2 in mind, along with the re-usable hardware requirements? Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W.

Installer kernel config
by Ian Levesque 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hello, I'm curious where I can find the config for the kernel included with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 installer. I need to verify hardware compatibility (especially ethernet and SATA) prior to making a purchase decision, and reckon that seeing what's included with the installer would be the most direct way. Thanks for any leads, Ian

Slow NFS writes
by Craig White 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

I guess I'm sort of surprised and I expected better performance I have a new server set up with RAID 10 drives (6) Repeated a number of times and though I am clumsy with stop watch timing, these numbers appear to be close enough for government work... Server, CentOS 5.2 and updated earlier today, just installed a week ago. Client, Macintosh G4, OS X 10.4.11 NFS Mount is done with the following options... -P (privileged ports) intr -r=32768 -w=32768 I tried doubling the size of the read/write windows to 65536 but it seemed to make little difference. Task, Read / Write 648 Megabyte Photoshop file (PSD) Win2K = Win2K server (slow), RAID 5, Symantec EndPoint (ugh), retiring this server AFP = Netatalk from new CentOS Server SMB = Samba from new CentOS Server NFS = see above options, same CentOS Server Copy To Win2K AFP SMB NFS 1m40.053s 0m22.566s 0m23.817s 2m11.849s Copy From Win2K AFP SMB NFS 1m34.478s 0m20.709s 0m20.823s 0m23.487s NFS read performance was slightly slower than AFP/SMB but the write performance was poor. I suppose that the answer is not so important because if the performance was equal to AFP and/or SMB, they'd probably just use AFP anyway but I did want to register my shock (or my ignorance). Craig

RAID on Email Server
by Matt 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

I have an email server running Exim, Dovecot, Spamassassin, Clam, etc. on Centos 4.x 32bit. On occasion I have disk I/O problems. Its handling several domains and alot of email. Its currently on a single SATA drive. I am thinking of moving too 3 drives with RAID 1 for redundancy. RAID 1 will help me on reads but do nothing on writes as I understand. I am thinking the majority of my I/O is read though not? I imagine quotta checks and all that being done and everytime a user checks there email every message in the inbox must be read. I guess I am asking if RAID 1 will help my I/O problem much? [root@server ~]# w 12:04:02 up 2:01, 1 user, load average: 7.02, 7.47, 11.84 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT root pts/0 208.92.169.4.ppp 11:25 0.00s 0.02s 0.00s w [root@server ~]# vmstat procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 2 0 1558496 456916 1087224 0 0 198 749 795 537 18 4 27 50 The above is when its running pretty good.

Centos 5 and Driver Disks
by Clint Dilks 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Hi, I am trying to install CentOS 5.2 on a Dell PowerEdge R905, and a problem that you run into is that the DVD Drive on the system is not recognized by the kernel. I have done some searching on the web and found http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_13121.shtm and obtained the driver disk that it mentions. Having followed the instructions I can see and select the driver disk image but the install thinks there are no appropriate drivers in the image. Can someone please confirm or deny that I should be able to use a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Driver with CentOS 5 without issue ? It isn't a big deal as I will try a Network based install or use a USB DVD drive but I just want to confirm if using a RHEL 5 Driver Disk should work :) Thanks, and have a nice day

by ArcosCom Linux User 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

On new CentOS 5.2 installation (and ugradation before config the diferent programs I use), I'm having problems with Thunderbird 2.0.0.17. Problem 1: I configured my e-mail account (as I have in my old machine) and I have no access to my pop3 and/or smtp servers. I write my user for the access, but thunderbird no ask my password anytime. Problem 2: I installed lightning, but I can't add any new calendar to it (local or remote). Does anyone have these problems or knows how to solve them? Regards

new list proposal
by Karanbir Singh 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

One thing that we are often blamed for is trying to stifle conversations and to discourage people from commenting / contributing / encouraging conversations. And that cant be further from the truth, really. We are all pro-community ( and when I say we, I mean everyone - including the contributors, developers, admins, users, abusers and hey upstream too ). However, one thing that does get in the way, often, and something that we all feel creates a higher 'noise' ratio is conversations on this list about semi-related stuff, but not something that directly contributes to the general users of CentOS. Conversations that specifically address four areas: - technologies - best practices - deployment strategies and tools - management strategies and tools And to better cater to these conversations, as well as further encourage such content, we'd like to propose creating a 'centos-tech' list. Over a period of time, we would like to see the CentOS list become a more user help and distro specific list, with generic conversations moving to the centos-tech list. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

How to view djvu files?
by Marko Vojinovic 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Greetings to everyone! On Fedora I used to use djvulibre package for djvu files, but I cannot seem to find this in any CentOS repositores out there. Google also does not help, nor searching list archives. :-( I have found the .rpm file for RHEL 4, but when I tried to install it (hoping that it just might work) rpm refused to install with the error: file /usr/share/mimelnk/image/x-djvu.desktop from install of djvulibre-3.5.17-1.el4.rf conflicts with file from package kdelibs-3.5.4-16.el5.centos I' out of ideas. What package (or viewer) provides djvu functionality? CentOS 5.2, fully updated. Best, :-) Marko __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

CGI configuration - second post
by tech 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

This is my second request for help with this problem. I have followed the suggestions given the first time and made some progress but I still have one final problem/question. I have two CGI scripts that don't work. One is the standard Set-Cookie, examples can be found all over the net, that sets a cookie and prints "Your cookie name is set." The other is an automatic installation script that comes from commerce-cgi.com and is for installing their CGI shopping cart. Both of these scripts are now located in /var/www/cgi-bin/ and the folder and the scripts are set to apache:apache 755. BTW a setting of root:root also fails exactly the same way. If I run either of these scripts from a browser using www.domain.com it fails. If I run it from a browser using www.domain.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi or www.domain.com/cgi-bin/techtest.cgi it works. I have tried using a one line index.shtml file with that one line being either  or  and they both fail. They do find and execute the script. The set cookie script prints the "Your cookie name is set." message OK but the cookie is not sent to the browser. The install script loads the first HTML page ok but does not load the second page. I had a friend-of-a-friend IT guy that I trust look at everything. He hasn't found anything obvious. If he tries to run either of these scripts from his computer, it works OK. Can someone here help me understand why this is happening? Mel PS posts in other online places (as suggested here) did not get any replies.

avahi and mDNS
by Craig White 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Trying to figure out how to make it work. Seems as though it should be pretty easy. installed package (from yum search) avahi-compat-libdns_sd.i386 : Libraries for Apple Bonjour mDNSResponder compatibility. /etc/nsswitch.conf altered line so it reads, hosts: files dns mdns mdns4 started avahi-dnsconfd service (don't know that it's needed) restarted avahi-daemon service but the syslog says... Oct 17 00:07:41 srv-adv avahi-daemon[12618]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns! and there is no package that I am aware of called nss-mdns, at least yum search doesn't turn up anything other than the avahi-compat-libdns_sd that I installed above. Anyone know what I am missing? Craig

Problems with firstboot in CentOS 5
by Alfred von Campe 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

I'm trying to customize the firstboot process in CentOS 5 and have come across a few issues that are driving me nuts. I'm sure they are all upstream issues, but I don't have a RHEL 5 system to verify them. I had these customizations working in CentOS 4, but things that used to work then don't work now. The main problem is that you can't validate user input. This problem can be easily seen in the firstboot "Create User" module. If you are in this screen, deliberately enter mismatched passwords. You will get a warning that the passwords do not match, but when you click OK to dismiss the warning you are taken to the next screen. In CentOS 4, firstboot would stay at the current screen until all user input had been validated. If you look at the underlying Python code, when you returned "None" from the apply method it would not exit the module in CentOS 4, but it does in CentOS 5. I also can't get the firstboot Display module to load. It ships with "skipme = True", but setting it to false or removing that line altogether does not show the module. It appears to me that there a lots of issues with firstboot in CentOS 5. Actually, in my environment (~40 desktops), CentOS 5 has been far less stable than CentOS 4 (mostly Gnome issues with Terminal windows crashing and window "flickering"). I've reported some of these issues before on this list. My servers seem to be rock stable, though. Anyway, for now I will have to live with these issues. Can I report these issues in the Red Hat bugzilla database or do I need to be a RHN subscriber to report bugs against RHEL5? I suspect (but have not verified) that these issues have been addressed in Fedora already. Alfred

Missing something about sendmail
by Paul R. Ganci 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hi All, I have a strange problem that I don't understand. I have an access file which has the following line: 168.144.250.215 OK # xsmtp02.mail2web.com Yet email from this IP address is getting rejected. From my log file Oct 15 21:52:33 mx01 sendmail[10569]: ruleset=check_relay, arg1=xsmtp02.mail2web.com, arg2=168.144.250.215, relay=xsmtp02.mail2web.com [168.144.250.215], reject=553 5.3.0 OK # xsmtp02.mail2web.com Is this because I have commented out dnl FEATURE(delay_checks)dnl in my sendmail.mc? What is the ruleset check_relay actually doing in this case. I have seen other cases where it rejected a message but always with a useful message. why is there a reject=553 code but with an OK after it? Can somebody give me a clue as to what I have misconfigured. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)

Do you think that by definition, the "system-admins" list should encompass that freedom? Linux system administration is not limited to bash scripting and configuring Apache virtual hosts, but also includes architecting multi-tiered, multi-faceted, multi-platform environments. I think the label of "system-admins" for a second list is going in the right direction. Maybe something a bit more specific, like CentOS-sysadmin-advanced? Not the best name, but conveys my idea. The understanding on that list is that the application of CentOS in real world environments can and should also be discussed. Eh? Yes, no, maybe? -Ken
