non-graphics install or fix xorg.conf?
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Trying the to install on the OQO, and hitting up against one problem I see a lot in the comments about installing various distros on it. That is its screen size. So I could install using the text installation except... What is the command line for text install and askmethod so I can use HTTP to access my local repo? What do I add to 'linux askmethod'? And if I go the text install route, can I do all of my custom disk partitioning? I seem to recall from when I fell intotext install on a system without enough memory, that I could not work with LVM in text mode. Or Can I set the video size in that 'linux askmethod' line? Here is a sample xorg.conf I have found: Section "Device" Identifier "Silicon Motion, Inc. SM720 Lynx3DM" Driver "vesa" # Driver "siliconmotion" # need to modify the driver first before using BusID "PCI:0:6:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" Modeline "800x480" 40 800 864 928 1088 480 481 484 509 +HSync EndSection IF I have to go with a custom kickstart file from diskette (Drive a:), I suppose I could put the hardware together for it. I would need a powered USB hub (around here somewhere), my USB diskette drive, along with the USB CDrom.... How best to proceed? Oh, for my custom disk partitioning, besides the ext3 partition for /boot, I create a separate swap partition of memory x 2 (=2Gb). Then the LVM partition has two ext3 partitions, one for / around 12Gb, and the other for /home as the rest. The drive is a 60Gb drive, so I might make / bigger: ext3 /boot 100mb swap 2Gb LVM Rest of drive (to 512byte multiple) ext3 / 12Gb ext3 /home rest of LVM

kernel and memory question
by Mag Gam 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Currently at my university we are running many servers with Centos 4.6 and everything is okay, but when a user does a large operation such as 'cp' or 'tar' or 'rsync' all of the physical memory gets exhausted. Our lab servers have 32GB physical to 64GB of physical memory and when a user does a large copy which involves very small but over 10k files eventually we see a kswap process. I would like to control swapping so these files don't go into memory instead they get flushed out. These computers are used for fluid dynamics calculations and I would just like to have the memory do a FIFO and use the least swap as possible. I tried setting the swapiness to '10' or '0' but that really does not help. Also, has there been a major memory management advancement from 4.6 to 5.2? If so, where can I read about the changes? TIA

More on Linux on the OQO
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

I am going over: ftp://ftp.oqo.com/unsupported/linux/OQOLinux.html This is for the 'older' model 1, I have the model 2. The files are 18 mo old, and relate to kernel 2.6.10. Of course I want to avoid a custom kernel, but please help me understand what is being covered here: "2. Enable crusoe processor in kernel .config CONFIG_MCRUSOE=y" What is the crusoe processor? 3. Programs such as 'hwclock' synchronize on the RTC periodic interrupt for accuracy. We need to disable RTC IRQ support in the kernel as we don't get the periodic interrupt. In the kernel .config set CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ to 'y'. This enables the high performance event timer irq and in the process disables the rtc driver interrupt code: CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ=y" How do I do this with the Centos kernel? "4. ACPI processor module (idle handler) interferes with transmeta longrun scaling. Set ACPI_PROCESSOR to 'n' or not set # CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR is not set" Does this mean I have acpi=none in the kernel line? I really hope not. "5. Kernel preempting option currently causes a bug to show up in the wifi drivers, turn it off CONFIG_PREEMPT=n" I would hope to be using the dkms madwifi stuff. Do I need this? "6. Download the latest rtl8150 drivers from CVS at: https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15970. The drivers in the base 2.6.10 tree will kernel panic upon removal of the dock. Copy the new driver to linux/drivers/usb/net/rtl8150.c" Don't see this as a problem as Centos has rtl8150 support. "7. In drivers/input/serio/i8042-io.h, add 'i8042_noloop = 1' in the function i8042_platform_init(). You only really need to do this if you have OQO subprocessor version 10/5 (It'll say 'EC Build 10/5' on BIOS post)." What is this all about? Still haven't actually tried an install.....

install of Pod::Simple through CPAN
by Al Sparks 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

I'm running CentOS 4.4. I'm trying to install swatch (a log watcher) using CPAN. It's getting hung up on trying to install a dependency, Pod::Simple So before I get too wrapped up in this, I have the following questions: 1. Is there an alternative way to install swatch? I didn't get a hit when I tried yum. 2. I'm not wedded to swatch. Is there another log checker out there that will work with CentOS? 3. Lastly, here's the error I get when I attempt to install Pod::Simple through CPAN: Test Summary Report ------------------- t/xhtml01 (Wstat: 512 Tests: 26 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 24, 26 Non-zero exit status: 2 Files=53, Tests=1095, 9 wallclock secs ( 1.30 usr 0.10 sys + 7.22 cusr 0.78 csys = 9.40 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/53 test programs. 2/1095 subtests failed. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 ARANDAL/Pod-Simple-3.07.tar.gz /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK //hint// to see the cpan-testers results for installing this module, try: reports ARANDAL/Pod-Simple-3.07.tar.gz Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force Failed during this command: ARANDAL/Pod-Simple-3.07.tar.gz : make_test NO

ASUS P5GC-MX/1333+ WD SATA
by Eduardo Grosclaude 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi, I'm puzzled by an ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 with a WD320AAJS disk. My 5.2 DVD refused to see the hard disk. As the CD happened to have a bad MD5 sum, I assumed this was due to a bad burnt image. Backed off to 5.1. Installation of 5.1 to /dev/sda went OK, then I upgraded by yum to 5.2. But, at the next boot, the new kernel can't see the disk. Only when BIOS IDE Setup is "compatible" I can boot the new kernel. However, the disk shows up as /dev/hdc and performance is noticeably slow. If I choose any other mode, nash complains that any LVM groups can't be found and panics away. I/O in general is terrible. Copying a CDROM to a file with dd renders the machine nearly unusable. The kernel provided in 5.1 can work in the BIOS IDE Setup "enhanced/SATA" and performance is really good. Hdparm when under the current kernel says 3.51 MB/s buffered speed, whereas for the older kernel it claims some 111+ MB/s. I have updated the BIOS ROM to no avail. What am I missing? Is there anything I can do except keep trying kernel updates? TIA -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

Centos Kernel 4.7 Compile Help
by Steve Moccio 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hello Everyone, I wanted to recompile the kernel from source. I downloaded the source rpm (kernel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.src.rpm) from centos and installed the rpm. In /usr/src/redhat I unzipped and untard the linuxx-2.6.9 base files. After doing that I wanted to patch the kernel with the numerous patch files that came with the src rpm. The problem that I am having is that a lot of the patch files fail an example: patch -p1 < ../linux-2.6.9-megaraid-update.patch patching file drivers/scsi/megaraid/mega_common.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 27. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/scsi/megaraid/mega_common.h.rej patching file drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 10. Hunk #2 FAILED at 217. Hunk #3 FAILED at 244. Hunk #4 FAILED at 286. Hunk #5 FAILED at 340. Is this not the right procedure for patching the kernel? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

Need uuid rpm for CentOS-5.2

On my development system I have installed PostgreSQL 8.x from the yum.pgsqlrpms.org repository. I am getting a dependency error: Error: Missing Dependency: libossp-uuid.so.15 is needed by package postgresql-contrib I can find references to this file in an rpm for fc7 (uuid-1.5.1-3.fc7.i386) but nothing else.

OQO mod2 arrival
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

My OQO mod2s just arrived! All 4 of them; portable testbed here it comes!!! I hope.... The units weigh in at ~.75lbs, and measure aprox. 5 5/8 x 3 3/8 x 1 1/8" A little larger when you push up the 5" screen to reveal the keyboard. WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, and a single USB built in; an adapter for VGA and Ethernet. (WiMax extra, I think the touch screen is also optional and I did not get that). The processor is a VIA C7-M 1.5Ghz processor, with 1Gb memory, and a 60Gb harddrive. XP pro installed. From XP tools, I have learned that: WiFi is - Atheros AR5006X5 Ethernet is - Realtek RTL8139 Video is - VIA/S3G UniChrome ProII IGP Audio is - SigmaTel Default screen res is 800x640 (can increase then use capacitor scroll bars). I have not looked to see if I can get into the BIOS, I expect to be able to boot from a USB CDdrive (it comes with a recovery CD). There are instructions on the net for installing UBUNTU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO) but of course I want Centos on it. Should I be expect any supprises given what I have learned so far? Minimally, these will be test units so only basic Gnome functionality and of course server stuff (wired, wireless, bluetooth) need to work. Would be nice to make one my traveling notebook as well.

RAID / OS Monitoring tools ?
by kevin kempter 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi List; I just got a new server (my first **real** server). It's a dell 2900 : quad core XEON (with a spare slot for a 2nd quad core chip) 8G memory (expandable to 64G) 8 hot swap SATA HD slots onboard PERC6i RAID controller etc I initially setup the system / RAID as follows: 1) booted off the dell setup CD 2) walked through the RAID setup and formatted the drives 3) the setup bombed when it asked for a RHEL install media (I suspect cause I gave it a CentOS 5 install DVD instead) 4) powered off 5) restarted the box with the CentOS DVD in the drive and installed CentOS 5 The RAID configuration was as I had set it up in the DELL setup cd so I'm happy. Now I want to be able to monitor the box, specifically with respect to the RAID drives so I'll know if one has gone bad and the RAID configuration has failed over to it. Anyone have any suggestions for tools to use ? Thanks in advance...

database diff's?
by Gabriel Norton 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what bits of info I need to ad to a DB to manualy add users to an app (eGW) and was wondering if anyone had a better way to find the differances in two states (pre/post change) of a database. Only thing I could come up with was to do a DB dump to a file before and after then run diff on them. Anyone have a slicker, better, faster, not a as gee-wiz there should be a better way to do this.

If you're like me and generally hate vendor tools, I believe that Dell's PERC controllers are rebadged LSIs. LSI has a command line tool you can use to monitor them. MegaCli is more than just a bit obtuse, but a little bit of scripting goes a long way. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF

Sendmail and headers
by Bob Hoffman 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi all, Hope someone out there has experience with this. I can send, receive, and smtp my mail with my centos server fine and dandy. All the virtual domains headers for from and reply to and such are good. However, there is one field that I cannot change. (centos 5.2, dns, sendmail, virtualhosts all on same server) The ip and hostname of the server is coming up when the ehlo is called from the receiving server (like yahoo.com and gmail)..instantly tagging all mail as spam, but not deleting it. The header on the mails shows this.... Received: from 45.45.01.01 (EHLO server.myserverhostname.com) (45.45.01.01) Where it should have the ip address of the website and the website mail.website.com... I have played with masquerade_envelope, masquerade_as, masquerade_domain, etc...and about 100 different combinations. I have added the websites to etc/hosts in an effort to make that work too. I am assuming it is masquerade that will do it. But lost as to how to proceed. Is there anyone out there hosting some websites who could point me in the right direction. All the books and websites deal with multiple machines and masquerading all domains as the same...and not making them all different. I cannot conclude or solve this. Any help deply appreciated.

Problem with booting/grub (?)
by Mark Hull-Richter 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Earlier this evening, I had the interesting experience of shutting down my machine (because of that lp out-of-sync problem, discussed elsewhere), and watching it not come back up. I admit that I changed out one of my DVD writers for another one, but I don't understand how that could have had any effect on this: When I restarted the machine, it came up to the point where it normally shows: "GRUB Loading Stage 2..." Except, it stopped at the "GRUB" and hung - no stage 2, no disk activity, nothing, just hung. One of the changes I made a little while ago was to modify the boot order of my drives. I had been booting off of the hda drive, but now I'm booting from the sda drive. I went through the "grub-install /dev/sda" back then, then fixed the grub.conf because the disk id for the root was wrong (it was showing hd2, but in order to boot, this had to be set to hd0 because grub couldn't find anything on hd2 - weird, 'cuz that's where the /boot and / partitions both live, but I digress). I thought I'd be able to recover from this by booting from hda again, but that didn't work. So I put in my Live CD, booted from that and tried to fix it via grub-install from there - no go. Grub couldn't find /dev/mapper/livecd-rw (which wasn't there, although /dev/mapper/live-rw was - is that a bug in the live cd?) Then I went to my installation DVD, booted up into linux rescue mode (which took a few tries because I forgot to boot with linux rescue noapic), chroot'd to the right /dev and THEN I could finally run grub-install, and finally, the system rebooted from /dev/sda. I'm wondering: 1) What would cause the system not to get to the "Loading stage 2" part but be able to load GRUB? This one is really the key - if I can understand this, I can prevent it from happening again. 2) What's with the live CD not being able to run grub-install properly? (It also would not install using grub - I don't recall the exact error message, but it was something about there not being a stage 1 area on the drive, which makes no sense because it _does_ boot from that drive). 3) Is this the only way to recover from such an error (GRUB, no stage 2, not the lp error), or was there an easier way I missed? My configuration is: OS : CentOS 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.10 Linux kernel) x86_64 with latest updates Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (2 x 2.0GHz), ECS NFORCE4M-A 4GB OCZ DDR2 800MHz (PC6400) /dev/hda Maxtor 160MB PATA UDMA-133 /dev/hdb Maxtor 120MB PATA UDMA-133 /dev/sda Seagate 300GB SATA-150/300 /dev/sdb WD 320GB SATA-150/300 /dev/hdc Pioneer 1810 (DVR-112D) 18x DVD+/-RW/DL /dev/hdd Pioneer 1810 (DVR-112D) 18x DVD+/-RW/DL Thanks. mhr

Restarting failed processes
by Matty 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

We are running a process on a CentOS box, and periodically it dies. Does anyone happen to have any recommendations for a lightweight tool that can be used to monitor processes and restart them if they happen to fail? I looked at monit, but it appears to be a bit much for restarting a process. Thanks for any feedback, - Ryan

Utility of Centos liveCD
by David Dyer-Bennet 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

It appears that the liveCD (CentOS-5.2-i386-LoveCD.iso that I downloaded late last week) does not contain either netcat or tcpdump. Given the frequent use of a livecd for testing and debugging, those would seem to be key tools that should be available. Obviously a LiveCD can't contain everything anybody might ever want, but I'd give those two tools a pretty high priority; certainly much higher than, oh, sound-juicer, say, or openoffice.org-impress. (See me *not* asking for emacs in this space. Well, unless there was actually spare space just sitting there.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b(a)dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info

Strange ! characters inserted into emails
by Sean Carolan 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

I have never encountered anything like this before, so thought I'd post here and see if anyone can help. We have a java application that sends out notification emails to end-users. The body of the email is some boilerplate text and HTML that is pulled from a database. When the emails are received there are random instances of " !" (that's a space and a bang symbol) inserted into the email in various locations. For example a sentence that is supposed to read like this: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. ends up looking like this: The quick b !rown fox jumped over the laz !y dog. We combed through the source text and didn't find any unusual characters in the body of the text. Somehow these bang symbols are being inserted after the mail is handed off to sendmail. Does anyone have an idea how I can troubleshoot this further? Or maybe you've seen something similar in your environment? thanks Sean

Tomcat with squid username/password
by Harry Sukumar 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Hi, I am trying to help my friend on this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Hi, I have an application deployed on tomcat 5.5 with java 1.6.0_07. Occasionally the application needs to connect through our proxy to the outside to collect patches. I've added the following options to the JAVA_OPTS and restarted tomcat. -Dhttp.proxyUser =username -Dhttp.proxyPassword =password -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.company.com.au <http://proxy.company.com.au> -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 Using snoop on the squid proxy I can see the requests, but the username/password combinations are not being sent and the tomcat application receives a 407/DENIED message. Is there a reason the username/password are not being sent? Our squid proxy uses both NTLM and basic authentication. thanks Harry

using NOPASSWD in sudoers
by Ski Dawg 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Hello Everyone, I am trying to change our /etc/sudoers (using visudo) to allow 2 commands to be run as root without a password, but it isn't working. Here is the part of the sudoers file that is in question. # User alias specification User_Alias FULLACCESS = doug, scott # members of the FULLACCESS User_Alias may run chown and chmod without a password FULLACCESS ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/chown, /bin/chmod # members of the FULLACCESS User_Alias may run anything but need a password FULLACCESS ALL=(root) ALL The part for requiring a password works, but not the NOPASSWD line. I have tried changing the order of these lines with no change in behavior. After each change to the sudoers file, I am logging out of the machine and logging back in to make sure that it is properly reading the changes. I have also replaced the list of commands with a Cmnd_Alias, with no change in behavior. Any thoughts or suggestions about what I am missing. -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window. -- Steve Wozniak

Multiple Linux instances on the same box - dual/triple/etc boot ?
by kevin kempter 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Hi List; I have a new dev server. As an independent consultant I want to maximize it's use. Some of my clients use RedHat/CentOS 64 bit, others Redhat/CentOS 32bit, some are even using Fedora and Debian. Here's my thought: I'd like to install each OS/version into it's own space on the disk. I'm thinking all I have to do is install one OS (say CentOS 64bit) and partition say 20% of the disk. Then once the install is done, boot into the latest fedora disk and do the same, etc. Is this correct ? Later I want to add a disk array and allocate a RAID mount point that can be mounted by any of the installed Linux'es when it's active. Is this do-able ? Easily ? Thanks in advance...

SNMP and OID/MIB/MRTG
by Bob Hoffman 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Hi all. I am having an issue and quite frankly would rather not spend the entire next two days learning the entire snmp program. I am hoping someone out there has used MRTG and SNMP to make it work. I have both installed. Single server, polling itself. Question 1- does snmpd have to run as a daemon, or only run once so I can get OID and MIBs from it? Question 2- does anyone know the command in snmp to get the required OID and MIBs that MRTG needs to use? Or at least the name of it? There are a lot of poorly written man pages, but so far all of them require an MIB or OID to use the commands I have read. Question 3- since not going outside of the server, is there any security setting in some snmp config file that makes it only look on my local server and not allow others to use it or hack it? Question 4- all over the internet there are examples in MRTG using all sorts of made up names like 'crazyguy33@servername' and things like that for the cfg file. And alsoin the snmp forum posts, but no one really talks about where this name comes from other than it is assigned to your network device or something. Any help appreciated. I will post the final solution to how to configure snmp and mrtg to work on centos5.2 when I finally figure it out so no one else has to take all week to do so!!! Whoo hoo!!!

Network issues with CentOS 5.2
by Joey Mendez 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

I am totally new to using CentOS. Linux in Genera really. I have decent experiencing with terminal code for Macs though. Here's the deal my Boss wants us to move more toward linux for some of our basic users. All I was supposed to do was install CentOS 5.2 and Open Office and disburse the machines. Simple enough right. So I did this with no issue. I ran the interface and installed only GNOME and KDE. After installation was complete I activated the eth-0 and had it on DHCP. I connected to the net fine and began downloading open office. I left for the day and came back and I can no longer get back online. The eth-0 wont even activate unless I manually enter a static IP but still can not establish a connection online. I treid reinstalling to no avail. Even built a completely new box and still no avail. I am using CentOS 5.2 i386 DVD. Like I said I am new to this so any guidance would be appreciated to get me into the Linux world. Thank you. -- Jose Mendez Computer Resource Specialist University of California, San Diego

Strange browser displays with 5.x on Dell GX-260
by Dick Roth 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

I had been running CentOS 4.x for quite some time with no problems. Apparently I stubbed my toe when installing CentOS 5 final. Symptoms: various web sites are not properly displayed in Firefox 3.0.1 (or predecessors). In particular, cnn.com and any calls to Google display with a screen full of ascii characters rather than images. When I look at "page info" within Firefox, it shows "quirk" mode rendering rather than "standards compliant" mode. BTW, I'm running the same version (in fact, using the same DVD iso) on my home machine, a Gigabyte system I've cobble up, with no such problem. Any ideas out there? Thanks, Dick -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin 1755

Problem with Arima HDAMA rev.G with Integrated SiliconImage Sil3114 Serial ATA 4 Ports and 1TB SATA disks. Recomendation for a cheap SATA controller for linux software raid?
by Alexander Georgiev 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Dear Everybody, I am telling you the whole story, perhaps you can give me a better idea. Almost 3 years ago I purchased Arima HDAMA rev. G motherboard with integrated Silicon Image Sil3114 Serial ATA 4 Ports SATA I adapter. ( http://www.arimacorp.com/ViewProduct.asp?View=86 ) . BIOS version is 2.13. My intention is to make a file server, using linux software raid, so I bought 2 new shiny 1TB SATA II disks, and installed them. Unfortunately the system does not boot - hangs in the Sil 3114 BIOS initialization stage. Apparently this is a known problem with Sil3114 and Sil3112: ( http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_drives&message.id=… ) The Silicon people have issued a BIOS update for this issue, however they explicitly state - only for ADD-IN cards. Perhaps, integrated controlers share the same eeprom chip with the motherboard BIOS, and an attempt to flash it - will render the system unbootable. For integrated controllers - the mainboard producer should provide the update. Apparently the Arima people have sold their business to http://www.flextronics.com/en/default.aspx. The new site is at http://www.flextronics.com/arima/server/Product/ViewDownload.asp?View=HDAMA…. The last BIOS update is from 8/30/2006. And I think this patch well predates the 1TB hard disks and has been issued before SiliconImage's patch: ( http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=28&cid=15… ) . So I am not willing to risk a BIOS update and I have decided to spend additional cash on a cheap but fast 4 port SATA II controller and use it with Centos 5.2. Where I reside, the following two have caught my attention: ADAPTEC SATA RAID 1420SA Serial ATA-150/Serial ATA II-300 PCI-X 4ch for 120 USD ( http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/Controllers/Hardware/sata/entry/AAR-1… ) and PROMISE FastTrak TX4300 Serial ATA II-300 PCI 4ch for 160 USD ( http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=RAID%200/1%20… ) Do you have any experience any of these 2 adapters, operating as plain SATA controllers, under linux software raid? Which one would you recommend? Best regards, Alex

Security Guide for CentOS/RHEL

Is there a step by step approach to securing CentOS 4X (or even RHEL 4X)? I don't mean the stuff in the docs/security guide but a working step by step guide? There used to be packages like rkhunter and tripwire but I don't know if the ones in rpmforge/kbs repo are up to date. Thanks, Josh.

Dear All, Please ignore my previous mail I have using CentOS 4.4 Linux and Kernel Version is 2.6.9-42.EL I have configured Cluster Suite with 2 servers Server 1 : 192.168.13.110 IP Address and hostname is primary Server 2 : 192.168.13.179 IP Address and hostname is secondary Floating : 192.168.13.83 IP Address (Assumed by currently active server) I have configured Ethernet Channel Bonding in Each Cluster Nodes and Channel Bonding Configuration Details are 1) Created bonding devices in "/etc/modprobe.conf" file alias bond0 bonding options bonding miimon=100 mode=1 2) Edit the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1" configuration DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL= no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none DEVICE=eth1 USERCTL= no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none 3) Created a network script for the bonding device is "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0" DEVICE=bond0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.13.1 IPADDR=192.168.13.110 4) Reboot the system for the changes to take effect. After i am rebooted both the server then cluster node becomes simplex and Services are started on both the nodes The cluster output in primary node Member Status: Quorate Member Name Status ----------- --------- primary Online, Local, rgmanager secondary Offline Service Name Owner (Last) State ------------ ------------ -------- Service primary started The cluster output in secondary node Member Status: Quorate Member Name Status ----------- --------- primary Offline secondary Online, Local, rgmanager Service Name Owner (Last) State ------------ -------------- -------- Service secondary started Before Ethernet Channel Bonding cluster services are active in one node and other nodes acts as passive node. But after Ethernet Channel Bonding cluster services are active on both the nodes I don't know what is the problem and is their any configuration is required in cluster configuration file and cman is working only with eth0 interface Can some one throw light on this peculiar problem Regards -S.Balaji

Hi, I have a Centos 5.2 server with sendmail/dovecot/squirrelmail. One of my users is complaining that some messages are not appearing in the message list. After a quick check I found the message in the /cur directory but this messge does not appear in the message list in the expected order. I can access the message if I check the page X or I use the search. The strange part is that most messages appear ordered by the date but this (and others) does not. I've removed the dovecot* in the Maildir with no luck. Any ideas? Name : squirrelmail Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.4.8 Vendor: CentOS Release : 4.0.1.el5.centos.2 Build Date: Sat 17 Nov 2007 11:28:32 PM AMT Bellow one example of the stat of two messages. The one with modify time 09:28 appears ordered and the other that came later 19:15 does not.

Is there a command line way to tell me whether a ethernet connection is 100 BaseT or Gigabit Ethernet? Craig
