net-snmp
by drew einhorn 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

CentOS 5 uses the net-snmp package. I am used to the similar but different snmpd package. They appear to have different conventions about what can be used as a "community string". And when net-snmp sees a community string it doesn't like, it just fails silently without giving an error message. I have not been able to find what net-snmp considers a valid community string. -- Drew Einhorn

Changing swap resume signature location
by Patrice Guay 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

At boot time, the system is looking for a resume signature on the default SWAP partition that was defined during the OS installation. On several systems, I changed the location of the SWAP partition. How do I change the location where the system looks at boot time for the resume signature? Thanks, -- Patrice Guay patrice.guay(a)nanotechnologies.qc.ca

rsync problem
by Thomas Bleier 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi everybody, after upgrading a few CentOS machines from 5.0 to 5.2, and during that upgrading rsync from 3.0.0-1.el5.rf to 3.0.3-1.el5.rf (both from rpmforge) rsync stopped working and bails out with a segfault after some undeterministic time (zero to a few seconds) during a sync. Manually going back to 3.0.2-1.el5.rf seems to work. Has anybody experienced similar problems? I'm not sure if I should go the the rpmforge or to the rsync mailing lists with this problem, so I thought I'd ask here if anybody run into similar problems. best regards, __ /homas

GIMP 2.4 on CentOS 5?
by Niki Kovacs 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5 on all our desktops here (work & home), and I'm quite happy with it. There's one detail I'd like to change. GIMP comes in version 2.2. There have been some changes in version 2.4, and it's also been around for quite some time. There are quite some functions in 2.4 that I'd like to use. As far as I understand, building GIMP 2.4 would involve some changes to [base] packages, like upgrading GTK. Anyone built GIMP 2.4 successfully without wrecking the system? I guess I'd take an SRPM from FC8 from rpm.pbone.net, and then start from here. Only I prefer to ask first. Cheers from the cloudy South of France, Niki

Backup and reinstall a CentOS server
by josh donovan 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

I've got a CentOS server that crashes due to a bad hard disk. I have got a spare disk and need to format and reinstall CentOS from the SERVER CD. Backup and reinstall is a major PITA because of some of the customisations that I've done e.g. the DNS Server is set to log queries (the default does not do this). Any tips on :- - backing up and reinstalling (is a script available)? - is the SERVER CD still 4.4? - Any suggestions on BIND to log queries without SELINUX throwing a fuss? Thanks for any help!

Hello, I need help with grub. I've a PC that I've assembled by my self and the configuration is listed below. AMD Athlon 3600+ 1GB Kingstone RAM 80GB SATA & 40 GB PATA MSI Motherboard And the problem that I'm having is with my two Linux distros. Ive installed CentOS & Windows in my SATA HDD and I've used my complete 40GB PATA HDD for Ubuntu. Well all OS's work fine with out any problems but when I want to boot into CentOS I've to select the SATA as my booting HDD from the BIOS if I want to go to Ubuntu the I've to select my PATA as the default HDD from the menu. So what I want to do is I need to add Both distros in to one GRUB boot loader and the other thing is that both grubs that I've on both HDD s only detects the windows Partition not the Linux partion. So I need to to know how to add bothe Linux versions I've into one GRUB. I want to use the SATA HDD as my default HDD. Regards, Sadaruwan Samaraweera

SAS/SATA DAS
by Joseph L. Casale 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

I need to replace a slow HP MSA20 that's a bottleneck right now (We are an HP shop). HP's only option with 3.5" SATA drives is stuck at SATA I behind a SAS controller. Dell makes an MD1000 that claims SATA II speeds behind a SAS Perc 5/E (Don't know anything about dell). Anyone got any real world info they can share? I need 3.5" SATA II at least 12 drives behind SAS, I am not concerned about space and could use multiple 1u chassis if I had to. Thanks! jlc

vtun -- no IPv6 support?
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Reading many comments about vtun available through google searchs seems to imply it supports IPv6. When I install it (v 3.0.2-1) and bind it to an interface that does NOT have IPv4 defined (only v6), start the service, and do a 'netstat -nat|grep 5000', I see it bound to 0.0.0.0:5000, not to the IPv6 0::/128 equiv address. What gives? IPv6 support or not? Meanwhile I found the kame vtun: http://orange.kame.net/dev/cvsweb.cgi/v6tun/?cvsroot=apps And was given the following 'changes' to compile it on linux. Do I need this??? v6tun: v6tun.o gcc v6tun.c v6tun.h -o v6tun install: v6tun -rm -f $(install_dir)/v6tun install -c -o root -g wheel -m 04710 v6tun $(install_dir) clean: 6tun: v6tun.o -rm -f *.o v6tun gcc v6tun.c v6tun.h -o v6tun install: v6tun -rm -f $(install_dir)/v6tun install -c -o root -g wheel -m 04710 v6tun $(install_dir) clean: -rm -f *.o v6tun

NFS static ports configuration
by admin 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

A couple of RHEL5 books I'm reading at the moment suggest port numbers above 1024 for statd, lockd, mountd and rquotad (eg 38001-38006 or 32764-32767) when configuring NFS to work with a firewall. The default /etc/sysconfig/nfs on CentOS5 however has defaults under 1024, such as mountd 892 statd 662 rquotad 875 Is there something security-related going on here that I'm not aware of, or some other explanation? Neither text mentions the use of ports under 1024 at all. Thanks Mick

Help using ed [OT]
by Thomas Johansson 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hi Perhaps omeone might answer this tricky problem. I can do this other ways, but i really want to understand how to solve it using ed. I have one solution using g/re/s/re//txt/ , but I want to understand how or if i can solve it using the ed (.)a command. A script i have parse several files and append text after a specific text is matched. If one file do not have this text, i get a no match and the script terminates. How can I avoid this behavior keeping the original coding style for ed and append text. I have tried tried but still cannot get it correct using (.)a. Is it even possible to do it that way using the (.)a command? Thanks in advance Thomas code example that give a "no match". Fairly easy to read and understand example 1: ----------- for RFILE in $RLIST; do ed - RFILE <<- EOF H /\[matching_text_1\]/a This is the appended textline(s) for text1 . /\[matching_text_2\]/a This is the appended textline(s) for text2 . w q EOF done Another example that solve the above problem. But this example become very easy unreadable if the appended text is long and/or includes linebreaks. Example 2: ---------- for RFILE in $RLIST; do ed - $RFILE << EOF g/text1/s//text1\\ appended_text1/g g/text2/s//text2\\ appended_text2/g w EOF done

At my physics lab we have 30 servers with 1TB disk packs. I am in need of monitoring for disk failures. I have been reading about SMART and it seems it can help. However, I am not sure what to look for if a drive is about to fail. Any thoughts about this? Is anyone using this method to predetermine disk failures? TIA

Iptables masq traffic limiting
by Joseph L. Casale 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Where is the correct place to control what traffic is masq'ed out? This is what I have, but I was told the Forward chain isn't the right place to do this? iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -i $WAN -o $LAN -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j ACCEPT So which table is the theoretically correct place to add all the ports/services I would want masq'ed out for internal clients? Thanks! jlc

I get this error page re-direct while opening a local webpage on my server, which carries me to yahoo for the error page filled with adverts.

LVM and hotswap (USB/iSCSI) devices?
by Simen Timian Thoresen 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hi list, I'm having one of those 'I'm stupid' -problems with LVM on CentOS 5.2. I've been working with traditional partitions until now, but I've finally been sold on the theoretical benefits of using LVM, but for now I only have a huge pile of broken filesystems to show for my efforts. My scenario; I attach a disk, either over USB or iSCSI. I create a PV on this device, create a VG using the device, and slice off a tiny LV for tests. [root@kasse ~]# dmesg usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi27 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 7 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: ST375064 Model: 0A Rev: 3.AA Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 SCSI device sdg: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB) sdg: Write Protect is off sdg: Mode Sense: 10 00 00 00 sdg: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdg: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB) sdg: Write Protect is off sdg: Mode Sense: 10 00 00 00 sdg: assuming drive cache: write through sdg: sdg1 sd 27:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdg sd 27:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete [root@kasse ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdg1 Physical volume "/dev/sdg1" successfully created [root@kasse ~]# vgcreate testgroup /dev/sdg1 Volume group "testgroup" successfully created [root@kasse ~]# lvcreate -L 200M testgroup -n testLV Logical volume "testLV" created At this point, I have /dev/testgroup/testLV, which I can stick a fs on, mount, store files on, unmount, remount and recover the files from. Just as I'd expect. [root@kasse ~]# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/testgroup/testLV VG Name testgroup LV UUID 3KjDiZ-gTAD-sC9E-sOSA-772o-41Yk-ZKK7cx LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 200.00 MB Current LE 50 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:1 I have not explicitly set the vg active, as I understand that it implicitly will be set active in non-clustered environments like mine. LVM works as I'd expect it to up until here in any case. So - with the LV unmounted, I power my USB-device down, and then back up; [root@kasse ~]# dmesg usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 7 usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi28 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 8 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: ST375064 Model: 0A Rev: 3.AA Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 SCSI device sdi: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB) sdi: Write Protect is off sdi: Mode Sense: 10 00 00 00 sdi: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdi: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB) sdi: Write Protect is off sdi: Mode Sense: 10 00 00 00 sdi: assuming drive cache: write through sdi: sdi1 sd 28:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdi sd 28:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete (note that my disk is now sdi, not sdg, and connected on scsi28 and not scsi27) If I now try to access the device, all falls appart; [root@kasse ~]# lvdisplay /dev/testgroup/testLV: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 209649664: Input/output error /dev/testgroup/testLV: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 209707008: Input/output error /dev/testgroup/testLV: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/testgroup/testLV: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 4096: Input/output error /dev/testgroup/testLV: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/testgroup/testLV VG Name testgroup LV UUID 3KjDiZ-gTAD-sC9E-sOSA-772o-41Yk-ZKK7cx LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 200.00 MB Current LE 50 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:1 Trying to mount or otherwise access the LV also shows the problems; scsi 27:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device scsi 27:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device scsi 27:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device scsi 27:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device scsi 27:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device scsi 27:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device printk: 25 messages suppressed.

Or is this some of the magical stuff that sometimes doesn’t happen for whatever reason? 8-) /etc/sysconfig/hwconf is the file kudzu creates when of all detected hardware at startup and it related this hardware with drivers in the kernel but certain drivers are modules in the kernel, wich need to be loaded manually or later when the system is already running this can be done by method 1 explained here above or adding them in /etc/modprobe.conf which makes it load the modules at startup you will need to add the line (if it is not yet there) : alias wlan0 prism54 you can check whether the module is loaded with : /sbin/lsmod | grep prism54 This is how far I got with the above hints. For some reason I don’t have a wlan0, but instead a eth0. I did create an alias in Network Manager for eth0 > wlan0. Then I ran the below modprobe command according to the below. “[root@centos-v5-x86 ~]# /sbin/modprobe prism54 [root@centos-v5-x86 ~]# dmesg|tail eth0: resetting device... eth0: uploading firmware... prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890' eth0: could not upload firmware ('isl3890') eth0: islpci_reset: failure eth0: resetting device... eth0: uploading firmware... prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890' eth0: could not upload firmware ('isl3890') eth0: islpci_reset: failure [root@centos-v5-x86 ~]#” “When I try to activate wlan0, I get this message: Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device eth0 ; Input/output error. Determining IP information for eth0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory failed.” In /etc/modprobe.conf I’ve added the line “alias wlan0 prism54”. What’s more, I went to the prism54.org site and found a firmware, downloaded it and as per instructed on the site, renamed the .arm-file to isl3890 and put it in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. Upon restarting and activating wlan0 I still get the above SIOC-error. I have a hunch this might actually work if I put the isl3890-file in the correct place. Not sure /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware *is* actually right, as I had to create the hotplugs and firmware-folders. Any hints on this guys?

Given that I have a machine with possibly multiple disks, each of which is bootable(has an MBR).... Is there a command that will query the BIOS and tell me which disk is the default boot disk. BTW - this is x86. The goal is to remotely reboot the workstation into the desired disk(which contain different centos versions). tia, -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

Webalizer displays wrong year
by Jussi Hirvi 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

I just run webalizer manually on an Apache log, like I have done many times before. Some new statistics were created, but for "August 2006" instead of "August 2008". I cannot figure why! Because of my mistake, the webalizer statistics for this site have not been updated since February. Now I tried to update them for the first time - with the results I described above. The system clock is in correct time (2008). The dates printed in Apache logs are correct (2008). Webalizer, when it is run, creates these new files (note the wrong year): > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 569 Aug 29 10:57 webalizer.hist > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 127507 Aug 29 10:57 webalizer.current > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 2957 Aug 29 10:57 usage.png > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 137863 Aug 29 10:57 usage_200608.html > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 10190 Aug 29 10:57 index.html > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 2178 Aug 29 10:57 hourly_usage_200608.png > -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 3900 Aug 29 10:57 daily_usage_200608.png On Webalizer page index.html, the new stats get labeled "Aug 2006", and - another strange thing - the item is displayed on the list (on index.html) between Jul 2007 and Sep 2007!! The original Aug 2007 seems to be missing.

29 Aug '08

Hi, I am running a cluster having 2 nodes using red hat cluster suite. node 1 has a para virtualized guest(centOS) running under Xen. My question is when node1 is rebooted, guest is automatically relocated to node 2 . Instead of relocation, is migration possible in this case which can result in Zero down time? Thanks in adv Paras.

C 5.2 and VMWAre error
by Scott Ehrlich 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

A colleague has a newly built 64-bit CentOS 5.0 system that, through yum updates, has become CentOS 5.2. VMWare Workstation and Player work fine for my account on it. But a recent configuration of something under their account has produced: vmplayer GTK Accessibility Module initialized /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libspi.so.0: undefined symbol: atk_hyperlink_impl_get_type The same error (I think) comes up if I try to invoke vmware (Workstation). As a reminder, if I su - <my account> and run vmplayer, it works. I typed env > env.txt for both accounts, diff'd them, and didn't see anything obvious to my eyes. I did the same for set > set.txt. Again, nothing obvious. I rebooted the system. Same problem. What is the most likely cause under their account if, on the same system, it works fine for me? Google searching didn't help much, either. A few posts about the same problem, but no responses. Thanks for any insights. Scott

Slow perl on CentOS - ActivePerl as a solution
by Vaclav Mocek 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi all, I found out that one of my perl scripts is heavily affected by the current bug. I was lazy to compile anything and I didn't want to mess up my system doing some experiments, so I tried to install ActivePerl as a temporary solution instead (RPMs are available). ActivePerl 5.8 is approximately 73x faster that CentOS version and ActivePerl 5.10 even slightly faster. Both versions and all installed packages (GUI ppm) work flawlessly and at least for me it is the way how to survive until CentOS 5.3 will be released.

HIP rpms for Centos 5.2
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

For anyone that is interested in looking at HIP, I have posted the latest HIP build on my server: http://htt-consult.com/~rgm/hip/ You don't need the src rpm, the others will do. Since we do not have the IPsec ESP BEET mode patch (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-09.txt) for the 2.6.18 kernel (it is in the 2.6.27 kernel), we have to run HIP in userspace. For this you have to run hipfw with at least -i to get the userspace mode working. You should also include -A if you want to accept any HIP traffic. Well read the hipfw docs.

I'm thinking I'll keep one working system/MB that has ISA slots. Not sure which one yet but probably either the Pentium or a K6/2 550Mhz. I've got W2K running in a qemu virtual machine on my current desktop so I'm guessing I can get any older versions of Windows working if I have to. I just can't virtualize an ISA slot if the need arises. A few things hanging around the basement I *won't* part with though as part of this clean up: - A still shrink wrapped copy of Windows/386 (media is 5.25 inch floppies) - A true blue (IBM logo) PC-AT (6 MHz 80286) with a full height 30MB hard drive and 1MB of RAM, DOS 3.3. Also, I've still got at least one punch card from my college days (Ohio State in the late '70s). I usually hang it on my cubicle wall when I'm working a regular gig. Most of the kids have never seen one before. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. -- Ambrose Bierce

new software raid installs
by Jerry Geis 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I have noticed that when I do software raid installed (RAID1) that I reboot and one of the first things it says is md1 is not in sync doing background reconstruction... md0 is my /root partition md1 is my /home partition why would md1 not be in sync after an install. Jerry

Xen HVM and tap:aio
by Lane Bryson 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there is doing tap:aio disk devices on a Xen HVM vm with any success. Please let me know if you are, and perhaps your version info and a config file snippet. I've posted this to the xen-users list, and what I'm trying to do seems to be correct, works on Ubuntu, Debian, and XenSource; but it doesn't work on CentOS. Here's the snippet from my config. More info in the message below: builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" acpi = 0 apic = 0 device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" disk = [ "tap:aio:/xen/ausmsit05/ausmsit05.raw,hda,w", "tap:aio:/xen/iso/win2003r2_std_32bit_disk1of2.iso,hdc :cdrom,r" ] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: - <debaan(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 2:27 PM Subject: HVM and tap:aio? To: xen-users(a)lists.xensource.com Hello, I'm not able to use tap:aio disk definitions with my HVM domU's. Is this supposed to work on this version of Xen, or am I doing something wrong? I've tried everything I can think of. file: works, but not tap:aio: , and I understand that file: will cause OOMkiller if using NFS mounts and is deprecated. Likewise, tap:aio: for cdrom does not allow me to boot off of cdrom; file: does work fine. Furthermore, any time I use tap:aio, the bochs bios of the hvm domU shows the hard disk size as 0 MBytes. Any disk definition that I use that has tap:aio: gives the result either (if tap:aio:/xen/foo/foo.img,xvda,w): Booting from Hard Disk...

lmsensors support in net-snmp

29 Aug '08

Hello, I'm wanting to use cacti* to graph my motherboard fan/temperature/voltage readings. I have sensors working and it giving me the temperatures ets, but it seems that net-snmp needs to be compiled with sensors/lmsensors support. Is there a centos 5 rpm for net-snmp that support this?

When do you know you need the "-m multiport" option? I see examples with -dport xx:xxx for example that sometimes use it and sometimes don't? I have read the man page and see what "-m multiport" requires, but don't see the requirement involving its use. Thanks! jlc

buildinstall problems
by treed＠ultraviolet.org 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hello all! I am trying to make a stripped down CentOS 5.2 distro which will all fit on a single CD containing just the base and a few other packages I need. I run buildinstall like so: sudo /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --debug --version 5 --product CentOS --comps /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/repodata/comps.xml --release My-CentOS-5.2 --prodpath CentOS /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64 and when I do so I run into the following errors: Expanding packages... retrieving timezones Creating nsswitch.conf Creating libuser.conf Creating fedorakmod.conf Creating multipath.conf Fixing up /etc/man.config to point into /mnt/sysimage Running mkfontdir...

I've googled and the closest thing I can find to my problem is this: http://osdir.com/ml/redhat.anaconda.devel/2002-07/msg00010.html in that he says the bin dirs are missing also but he says one is a file and I don't have anything named bin there at all. He also gets some different errors as a result of bin being missing it seems. My repository contains (among many others) the following packages which would seem to be relevant: anaconda-11.1.2.113-1.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm anaconda-runtime-11.1.2.113-1.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm busybox-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm And while I'm here, another question: What might cause this selinux error which gets generated (as seen above): libsemanage.semanage_install_sandbox: genhomedircon returned error code 1. If I point this same buildinstall command at a CentOS repo that contains all of the rpm's that CentOS normally ships with the build proceeds without error. No missing bin and no selinux error. So I must be missing an rpm. But I'm not sure which one and I need to get this paired down to a single CD so I can't just dump them all in. Thanks for any help you can provide! -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org

Problem with gnome with file type recognition.
by ArcosCom Linux User 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I have a problem with some file recognition with gnome (CentOS 5.2). I have some DVD with AVI files I burn some time ago (and the files were checked and the DVD are fine), and curiously only the 3 or 4 first files were recognized as AVI files, but the rest not!. I another times, appears to recognize all files, but from some days to now I have this problem (specially with AVI files). The recognized files are played fine with xine, mplayer or vlc, but the rest not, the players don't know how to play them (very courious this issue). Do anyone know how to solve this? Could be any system component that wasn't working fine? (as any daemon, or the DVD reader) Anyone know how to test my DVD writer/reader or any system/gnome components that could be missconfigured or not working? Regards
