find - text

A while ago I sent mail about wanting to find all files that had a certain text string in it and changing it to something else. People mentioned that there is a system tool to do it (gnome has it too). I ran this, for example to find all files WITH "prog" in the name, and then I did a ps and I saw simply find . -iname '*prog*' then I did something similar, all file names but with "prog" in it, and found basically two lines (one was child process of the other, so I assume it was a pipe or something): find . -type f grep -i -c prog this does a grep for case insensitivity for "prog", so basically the tool uses find and grep. I could do something like find . -type f | while read fil do sed -i 's/prog/name/g' $f # change "prog" to "name" done A couple problems here. If what I am changing is the same length then it may be ok. But consider this quick (example) C program state.c int main( int argc, char **argv ) { printf( "Ohio\n" ); } if I compile it to "state" and then print it prints Ohio. If I do (on the compiled file state) sed -i 's/Ohio/Utah/' state then it will print Utah. However, if I change the length sed -i 's/Ohio/Michigan/' state it will of course SIGSEGV because it changed some of the object code. (Actually even doing the same length can be dangerous). What I want to do is either provide another option to the find (which I can'e seem to find), or pipe the files it finds to something like "file" to get only ASCII files (non-object code). However, I am not sure how to do this. On most files, the "file" command will return something with "text" in it, but not all files. For instance, sometimes it returns "application" or "shell script" but it is still OK to do the sed on these. Is there some easy way to take a file name and determine whether sed -i can safely be done on it (i.e., it is ASCII and not some sort of binary file)? Tony

Boot disk order: h/w vs. grub
by MHR 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I'm still having conceptual trouble with this one. I have two PATA and two SATA disks in my home system. When the system comes up, these are, espectively, /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I have the boot order of the drives in the boot PROM set to boot from /dev/sda (hard drive 2), then /dev/hda (hd 0), and usually that works fine. /dev/sda is properly set up with the MBR and /boot lives there as well. However, when the system has to be shut down, usually for some length of time more than just a few seconds, when it comes back up, it can't find the boot image. I forgot how I got around this the first time. The second time, when it wasn't booting past the "GRUB" part of the grub announcement, I used the installation disk, booted into linux resuce mode, chroot'd to the actual system disk and re-did grub-install. Still, a few days later (last Tuesday) when my video card went south, I just edited the grub boot line to use root(hd2, 0) and it came up, followed by several reboots with unmodified grub config lines. I guess I'm wondering if there's some more permanent way around this issue. Do I need to overwrite the MBR on hd0? Should I reconfigure the system so the PATA drives are not connected to the m/b at all (i.e., usb enclosures)? Is this a bug in grub? All this is assuming that I do not get rid of the PATA drives and/or get a new m/b that has <something else>.... It seems strange that this should be such a pain, even though in a rather oddball way it makes sense. Thoughts? Thanks mhr

mysqld breaks yum, help?
by Dac Chartrand 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Greetings. After doing: $ yum install mysql-server $ /etc/init.d/mysqld start Yum is broken. Example: $ yum list php Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * utterramblings: www.jasonlitka.com * base: mirror.nuvio.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) [..snip..] File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 416, in start _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ()) thread.error: can't start new thread I have the priorities plug-in setup. I did `yum update` before messing around with 3rd party repositories. The only modules I installed from the 3rd party sties are PHP related. More importantly, if I do `/etc/init.d/mysqld stop`, yum works fine. So it's only failing when mysqld is turned on. Can someone offer some insight here? Thank you for your time. $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) --- http://www.sux0r.org/

Proposed New Mailing List

06 Oct '08

Karanbir Singh wrote: > And yea, working on setting up a sort of list to handle > much of this semi OT traffic. More news on that around > Wed next week, dint ask about it now. Off course people are going to ask. In my opinion as long as a topic is marked OT, it is preferable to one not marked but one in which the OP has not even done basic research on his problem. One distro had a "brainflash" a number of years ago - create a list for expert users and one for newbies. It didn't take long for the newbies to realise that there was no one to help and so flooded the "expert list". This put off the "experts". On some mailing lists, long time users are put off by the flood of posts by newbies who don't even conform to the list guidelines. Some pay back by not replying to those in violation without as much as a hint. Would a new list really solve anything or would it close one door and open another? Regards, Vandaman.

Hy there, i have a centos (4.?) Box with nightly yum update enabled. Last night, it did an upgrade to 4.7 leading to several problem i.e. not respawning the dhcrelay, which is needed on this box.

I would like do to nightly updates, but make release upgrades manual (I get a new kernel, so I have to reboot anyway). Is that possible?

JFS in CentOS
by Hal Martin 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Hello all, I'm relatively new to CentOS, but I've been using linux as my main operating system on both the desktop and server ends for the past 4 years. I currently have a PIII server with two 160GB IDE hard drives in it, in a virtual RAID 1 array. At the time of installation, the only FS choices for the largest partition, 120GB, were ext2 and ext3. I chose ext3, but now am wishing to reformat the partition as JFS to skip long file system check times. I've done Google searches regarding the topic, which lead me to added centos.plus to my repo list, and installed the only kernel I see as being available from CentOSPlus, and yet I still have no JFS modules loaded or anywhere in /lib/modules/. I installed JFSUtils from the CentOSPlus repo, but have no way to use the partition that has been created (by myself, using mkfs.jfs). Short of compiling a kernel with JFS support from the source package provided with CentOS, I don't know what to do. Has anyone else used JFS on CentOS 5.2 successfully? How did you do it? Thanks, Hal

This is why the RFC clearly states that you must answer certain email addresses; abuse@ being one!

ssh error in /var/log/secure
by Michael A. Peters 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Hi - I just bought a xen VPS and am running CentOS 5 on it (updated to 5.2). With all my personal machines sitting at home behind a router with all ports (except for BitTorrent) closed - I had forgotten how frequent brute force ssh attacks are, but within a day, the log was loaded with them. So I did two things - I installed and configured pam_abl and I moved the ssh port to 1294 ( a > 1024 number that means something to me so easy to remember) and then blocked port 22 in iptables. Interestingly - after installing pam_able before I configured and restarted sshd, pam_able was already building a database of hosts - the attacks were that frequent. Nothing after restarting sshd on the new port though, at least so far. Anyway - while the server is working on the new port and I can connect, I noticed this error: Oct 4 09:01:25 li34-4 sshd[2305]: Server listening on :: port 1294. Oct 4 09:01:25 li34-4 sshd[2305]: error: Bind to port 1294 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. Is that caused by a mis-configuration on my part? The only change I made to sshd was the Port directive (root login was already disabled in the xen image I started from) It looks like it is listening on the port and then trying to bind to the port a second time. Is that from having two IPs on the same nic (eth0 and eth0:1) ?

Putting CentOS 5.2 kernel on CentOS 4.x
by Fong Vang 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Has anyone tried to install a CentOS 5.x kernel on a CentOS 4.x system? Is this doable? I"m aware of the dependencies but I'm curious if anyone has done this successfully. Basically, we have a few hundred 4.x systems that cannot be upgraded to 5.x, yet, but we do need the kernel update to fix the XFS problem as described here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3125

Install CentOS-5.0 on HP-ComPaq DC7700 Dual Core
by James B. Byrne 03 Oct '08

The reason for using CentOS-5.0 is because I do not which to wait 30 some odd hours to download new ISO images. The plan is to install from 5.0 and upgrade to 5.2. last point.

iSCSI ini and ESX Server
by Joseph L. Casale 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

I always used IET on CentOS but I have a quick server to setup to backup some VM's, then migrate to DAS on another server and the easiest way for me will be to accomplish this via iSCSI vmfs stores. I figured I would just use the ini that ships with CentOS but have never used it against ESX, anyone do this and have experiences they care to share? Should it be trivial or are there any non standard configs that need to be used? Thanks! jlc

Services take a long time during initialzation (LDAP-authentication)
by Bernhard Gschaider 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi! I've got a CentOS4.7-machine as a fileserver. The machine also serves as the LDAP-server against which all regular users are authenticated. The problem I am having is that the machine takes a very long time to boot. Most of the services start up rather quick, but three services take quite a long time (extending the boot time to over half an hour, which is .... long) The three services are (in that order): - NFS statd - LDAP - NFS quota As soon as the LDAP-Service (and sshd) has started I can remotly log into the machine: the rpc.quotad has started but takes no CPU-time (so I guess he must be waiting for something) Some other observations I had: - a restart of LDAP takes several minutes - if the LDAP-service is down a "su ldap" (ldap IS in /etc/passwd) seems to hang. The ldap-service-script does such a su to check the configuration so I guess that is what takes the service so long) Could anyone give me a hint what the problem could be and how to fix it? Is any more information required (don't want to spam you with the nsswitch.conf and the whole pam.d-stuff)? Bernhard

Keeping a complete CentOS mirror
by Chris Miller 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Is there a way I can keep a complete mirror of old/new releases of CentOS 4/5 automagically? In other words I would pull the old files from the vault site when needed, and new files from one of the other mirrors. I've seen/used a few scripts but rsync just stomps the old releases with the latest. The key issue here is having new release detection happen programmatically so I don't need to manage it once it's setup. Before I reinvent the wheel, I just wanted to see if there was a known method of accomplishing this. Q. Why? A. Because I have customers that need access to older OS builds as their products do not move as quickly as CentOS. Thanks in advance. Chris

Flaky graphics - need help nailing down the cause
by MHR 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

This morning I noticed that my (new in July) monitor was behaving strangely. At first, it was odd parts of web page graphics that didn't show up unless I scrolled up and down in the window, and then they weren't displayed with any consistency. Then I noticed that the screensaver failed to appear (computer was locked, but graphics never showed on the monitor). I tried running mplayer to play a movie I have on the system, and the window remained black (sound was fine). When I move a window, parts of it (pixels scattered across the window) don't refresh during the move OR even when it is done, unless I run the mouse over them or, in the case of the menu bar, click on one of the options. The nautilus window that sometimes comes up after a reboot was not fully painted with the text parts of the entries below the mouse cursor on the screen until I ran the mouse over them, and then only the ones I "touched" refreshed properly. During the system shutdown and restart, the text is scrambled beyond recognition, although the graphics during the boot, driver init and login screen are fine. Most of the screen after I log in shows up, unless the default terminal and nautilus windows show up, and then they're not all there (as above). DVI-VGA: same problem either way 2.6.18-92.1.10 - 92.1.13: likewise (makes no difference) The video card is an nvidia ge7100gs and I have the beta driver from rpmforge (under dkms). The base system is an ECS nFORCE4M-A with an AMD Athlon 64x2 and 4GB of OCZ main memory. The newest parts are the main memory (upgraded from 2GB about two months ago) and the monitor (new in July). The m/b, COU and graphics card are all about 18 months old. I recently upgraded to the new 92.1.13 kernel. Question: Is this the monitor (most likely), the video card, the OS or the base system, or something else I have not considered? Is there a good video test program I can use to diagnose this properly? I have a two-year replacement warranty on the monitor, so I will use it if I need to, and I think it's still under the manufacturer's warranty anyway. Thanks. mhr

XDMCP - no GDM login, only gray screen with X

I have "Enable=true" in the [xdmcp] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf. IPtables is disabled. I've googled around and read through the xdmcp page on tldp.org but have not come up with anything. Can anyone help with this issue?

Firefox distorted printing
by Chris Geldenhuis 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi, I am running a fully updated CentOS 4 box. Since the last few rounds of updates - upgrading to the latest Firefox, I find that I can not print Bank statements etc ( .ps files when saved to disk). The Bank's logo and any lines on the form print OK but the actual content is distorted beyond recognition - printing a series of special characters (!"$%&#'(") instead of transaction descriptions or amounts. Has anyone else experienced this or have a suggestion on how to fix the problem. Other preformatted documents like supplier invoices are also not printed as well formatted as before (html documents) but appear all squashed up instead of filling the page vertically. TIA ChrisG

Hi all, I used to do manual installs so I would set the timezone each time. I have now migrated to kickstart and I wish to use a command line (at boot) parameter to set the needed timezone. I am familiar with timeconfig and that works. I tried timeconfig --help (looking for command line arguments) and there appears to not be a command line way that I see to set the timezone. I have seen mention of changing symbolic links and stuff - but I was hoping for a system command to change the timezone. Like "timeconfig --zone Denver" or "timeconfig --zone Mountain" something like that. Is there something like that or do I have to use the symbolic links? Thanks, Jerry

scp and key login
by Kai Schaetzl 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

It seems the certificate-based login doesn't work on both sides of the remote connection when using scp? Scenario: User on PC A can SSH login to PCs B and C with his certificate, no password prompt. When User on PC A runs a scp operation from B to C he's asked for the password on C. Does the scp actually open a connection from B to C (User doesn't have a certificate on B)? This would explain the problem. I hoped to avoid such a problem by scping from a third machine that normally has certificate-based access to all machines.

Broken pipe, x86_64 CentOS 5.2
by Daniel Andrzejewski 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi All, I have a problem with torque (openPBS) on x86_64 CentOS 5.2. Just to add there's no problem on a 32bit CentOS 5.2 or 64bit Ubuntu 8.04. The problem is that pbs_mom's child quits without giving any error logs. [root@frodo9 torque-2.3.3]# strace -f pbs_mom . . . bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(15002), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 time(NULL) = 1222785330 listen(6, 512) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 7 setsockopt(7, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 bind(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(15003), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 time(NULL) = 1222785330 listen(7, 512) = 0 fcntl(5, F_SETLK, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0 clone(Process 18441 attached child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x2b276258fdb0) = 18441 [pid 18441] getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(56711), sin_addr=inet_addr("172.16.0.9")}, [16]) = 0 [pid 18441] getpeername(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(389), sin_addr=inet_addr("172.16.2.24")}, [68719476752]) = 0 [pid 18441] fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC) [pid 18441] dup(3) = 8 [pid 18441] fcntl(8, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 [pid 18441] socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 9 [pid 18441] close(3) = 0 [pid 18441] fcntl(9, F_GETFD) = 0 [pid 18441] dup2(9, 3) = 3 [pid 18441] fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0) = 0 [pid 18441] close(9) = 0 [pid 18441] write(3, "\25\3\1\0 \232\17\205\301f<O0\352\246\357\344Z\31&\243\361\356\2128\242\377\7O{\267\333"..., 37 <unfinished ...> [pid 18440] exit_group(0) = ?

DKIM
by Bob Hoffman 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Okay, Yahoo is bumming me. Only system my mail is having an issue with. All mail is accepted, but junked. I can only think it is the DKIM/Domain keys. It is apparent that the dkim-milter is not part of the centos 5.x distro nor is it part of the mirrors, as far as I can tell. So...have any of you done it with your servers for sendmail? There are some sites that claim to have rpms and I have downloaded the tar from sendmail. But I would rather hear from anyone who has an opinion before I go with one or the other. I do not trust any rpms except for their mirrors, so not sure if I want to do that. But maybe it is fine. Open to suggestions, ideas for what works for you and yahoo. No, I do not want to install postfix, thank you - /ninja'd ya
