bind9, SELinux, ServFail
by Meenoo Shivdasani 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

I just set up a CentOS 5.2 system with bind9 (9.3.4-6.0.1.P1.el5) and I'm running up against a problem that seems to be related to SELinux. If I set named_disable_trans to 1, everything works as expected, but if I leave it enabled the server will only give me data for the zones for which it is authoritative. For external sites it returns a ServFail error. This is with nslookup and dig. If I start named from the command line with the command "named -u named", the server returns the expected response. tcpdump shows that the server is querying itself and getting a ServFail response. I figure that I'm missing something really basic, but not sure what. Debug logs show this: FAIL: clientmgr @0x2b491728c1d0: createclients clientmgr @0x2b491728c1d0: recycle . . . fctx 0x2b49173153e0(www.google.com/A'): shutdown client 192.168.213.111#33096: view internal: error Succeed: clientmgr @0x2b109771bd30: createclients clientmgr @0x2b109771bd30: create new . . . res 0x2b109778cae0: dns_resolver_prime res 0x2b109778cae0: priming createfetch: .

/etc/pam.d/system-auth changes in update
by listmail 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

I just did an update, and PAM was was one of the modules. Yum has placed /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew and it's different than the existing file, which is actually a link to system-auth-ac. The files are slightly different, and I'm wondering if the differences are important. I can't find any docs on the reason for the change, so before I spend time becoming a PAM expert, I'm wondering if anyone knows why this change was made, or were it might be documented. Thanks, --Bill

Java Setup
by Clint Dilks 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi People I have been following the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS but trying to modify them for jdk-6u7-linux-amd64.rpm but there doesn't see to be a compatible java-1.6.0-sun-compat-*.rpm. Does one exist ? If not can anyone point me to some documentation on how I can manually set up things so alternatives will work allowing multiple Java versions. Thanks

Evolution in CentOS 5.2
by MHR 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

(Probably OT) Has anyone else noticed these flaky (new?) behaviors in Evo since the 5.2 upgrade: - REALLY slow saving messages from inbox to another folder - search capability separated by folder instead of overall (with no option for control) - failure to autocomplete email addresses for known contacts I think that's it. I was wondering if it was just me, or if others had noticed this. (If it's just me, there is no need to reply....) Thanks. mhr

Problems with bind on 5.2
by Scott Silva 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I'm having some trouble getting reverse zones right on 5.2. The zone files worked fine on a CentOS 4.6 machine, and the forward zones moved to the new server seem OK. But for some reason I can't get anything but servfail's on remote queries to the machine. But for some reason they will answer fine if I run "host ip.ad.dr.ess" on the local machine. I stopped the firewall to help debug this, but it still fails. Bind is listening on all the machines ip addresses. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

Bind update overwrites named.conf
by Chris Miller 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I just had a customer's bind server lose all of it's local DNS records. Yum updated the bind packages this morning at ~6am, and replaced the original /etc/named.conf file, saving the old as named.conf.rpmsave. This seems like the opposite of what it should have done (i.e. save the new file as named.conf.rpmnew). There does not appear to be any difference between the originally shipped conf file and the new one, suggesting that the file should not have been replaced at all. Just wanted to through this out there in hopes it helps someone else before the phone starts ringing... CentOS release 4.6 (Final) Jul 09 05:59:25 Updated: bind-devel.i386 20:9.2.4-28.0.1.el4 Jul 09 05:59:29 Updated: bind-chroot.i386 20:9.2.4-28.0.1.el4 Chris

rsh problems in CentOS 5.2 (was "cvs command failure on 5.2")
by MHR 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Okay, I've narrowed the problem down quite a bit. As previously reported, in CentOS 5.2 I get this: $ cvs log Makefile poll: protocol failure in circuit setup cvs [log aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) Turns out this is a problem with rsh: $ rsh khan ls connect to address 10.24.15.48 port 544: Connection refused Trying krb4 rsh... connect to address 10.24.15.48 port 544: Connection refused trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh) poll: protocol failure in circuit setup Now, if I just reomtely login to khan (our cvs server), I get this: [mrichter@sushi ~]$ khan connect to address 10.24.15.48 port 543: Connection refused Trying krb4 rlogin... connect to address 10.24.15.48 port 543: Connection refused trying normal rlogin (/usr/bin/rlogin) Last login: Fri Jul 4 18:19:01 from viper [mrichter@khan mrichter]$ Voila - I'm logged in. Also, if I try an rsh from another machine (viper - FC1), I get this: [mrichter@viper mrichter]$ rsh khan ls connect to address 10.24.15.48: Connection refused Trying krb4 rsh... connect to address 10.24.15.48: Connection refused trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh) Desktop Documents Download Music Pictures Public Templates Videos bin lane608 rls_607 temp.xml So, what is it about rsh from CentOS 5.2 such that the kerberos certification destroys its chances of success? Alternative question: what do I need to tweak to make this work? Thanks. mhr PS: Google has lots of wrong answers on this, mostly really old and of no use at all.

Need help with awk one-liner
by Sean Carolan 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

This awk command pulls URLs from an apache config file, where $x is the config filename. awk '/:8008\/root/ {printf $3 "\t"}' $x The URL that is output by the script looks something like this: ajpv12://hostname.network.company.com:8008/root Is there a way to alter the output so it only shows "hostname" by itself? Do I need to pipe this through awk again to clean it up?

IPv6 static routing

So I do not want to run radvd on my public subnet (between the gateway and firewall). I am trying to set up the firewall's public interface.

can I use CentOS as a antivirus / spam filter / HTTP AV gateway?
by Rudi Ahlers 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi all I've been thinking about using CentOS on a Dell R200 server and turn it into a firewall / network monitor / traffic shaper in our datacentre, instead of using a dedicated firewall device. One of the devices that I have been looking at, with my limited budget, is the D-Link DFL 860 - http://www.netdefend.eu/Product.aspx?m=15&ref=DFL-860 It provides AV, SPI, VPN, DOS, P2P, etc protection. Most of this can be done with Linux as well, but I'm not 100% sure about the AV part. How will I use / setup CentOS to check all traffic coming in & out (HTTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, etc) for virusses and clean them? We host both Windows & Linux servers, and I'm not too worried about the Linux servers, but Windows needs a lot of extra protection. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff

1st static IPv6 address
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

My ISP assigned prefix is: 2607:F4B8:3::/48 So I am building my internal IPv6 firewall/router/ etc. I want to have a static IPv6 address on its eth0 so that I can create static v6 routes to it from the gateway. I add the following lines to ifcfg-eth0: HWADDR=00:40:F4:05:A8:F1 IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6ADDR="2607:F4B8:3:1" if-up eth0 gets the error: Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "2607:F4B8:3:1/64". ERROR : [ipv6_add_addr_on_device] Cannot add IPv6 address '2607:F4B8:3:1/64' on dev 'eth0' What is missing? Why is it not building an address of 2607:F4B8:3:1:0:40:F405:A8F1 ? I am reading: file:///usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.19.EL/sysconfig.txt for my 'inspiration'. Other sources are welcome... OH, /etc/sysconfig/network does have the line: NETWORKING_IPV6=yes

what does "not found" mean in a DHCPRELEASE context?
by David Mackintosh 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I have a CentOS 4.6 server running dhcpd. One of my client devices (a Panasonic KX-HCM280A camera) is trying to get a lease from that server. I can see the device accept a lease (it is a reservation), however it always releases the reservation after about 25 seconds: Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.31.14.13 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.31.14.13 (172.31.0.1) from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.31.14.13 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:31:16 stargate dhcpd: DHCPRELEASE of 172.31.14.13 from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 (not found) If I remove the reservation and reset the camera, it does the same thing with a dynamic lease; however in that case the message is Jul 3 09:48:05 stargate dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:06 stargate dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.31.9.91 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:06 stargate dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.31.9.91 (172.31.0.1) from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:06 stargate dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.31.9.91 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:19 stargate dhcpd: DHCPRELEASE of 172.31.9.91 from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 (found) ...ie "(found)" instead of "(not found)". I should mention that I have several other cameras of the same type which are working, so this is most assuredly a problem with the camera itself, but I was still wondering: Does anyone know what dhcpd (or the device) is trying to tell me with this message? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

Slow HVM IO performance with newer kernels
by henry ritzlmayr 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi list. I am testing CentOS 5.2 now. I experience much slower IO under HVM Guests with the newer kernels, so I started some measurements. DOM-0 is a fully upgraded CentOS 5.2. DOM-U is CentOS 5.0 not upgraded at all for testing purposes. DOM-U sits on an LVM Volume. No other services are running. Hardware was freshly rebooted every time. within DOM-0 dd if=/dev/vgpentanol/lvol2 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000 gives 134 MB/s so thats the bare metal value. within DOM-U dd if=/dev/hda of=dev/null bs=1M count 1000 gives 50 MB/s with DOM-0 kernel 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5xen 10 MB/s with DOM-0 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5xen 10 MB/s with DOM-0 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen so there has been a drop to 20% of the performance within 2.6.18-53. Any Ideas? The machine is a test system - so I am open to any changes in configuration you might suggest. As a side note: A PV Guest gets 85 MB/s no matter which kernel. Henry

yum dependency problem

Hi: Today when I do yum update I get this: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libdirectfb-0.9.so.25 for package: mplayer ---> Package directfb.i386 0:1.0.1-1.el5.rf set to be updated ---> Package amrnb.i386 0:7.0.0.2-1.el5.rf set to be updated ---> Package gsm.i386 0:1.0.12-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libdirectfb-0.9.so.25 is needed by package mplayer and I have to admit I don't understand that.... it says it's going to update directfb.i386 then it says directfb is required by mplayer. Huh? perhaps it means it's trying to replace my existing directfb with a DIFFERENT verson and can't because mplayer needs the existing one? the existing directfb I have is: directfb-0.9.25.1-1.el5.rf which came from the same repo as my mplayer: mplayer-1.0-0.38.rc1try2.el5.rf so am I to assume that some other repo (with a greater priority, since I'm using the priority plugin) is trying to overwrite the one I got from the rf repo? the base repos (base, updates, addons and extras) are all priority 1, centosplus and contrib are 2. rpmforge is 10. that's all there are. What's wrong here?

Total lockup caused by Shift-{print screen}
by Robert Nichols 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown. Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot processes. System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated on an Intel i686. Suggestions about what component should receive the bugzilla report are welcome. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

CentOS 5.2 kernel [2.6.18-92.1.1.el5] crashes on dual-PIII Compaq ProLiant 3000
by Wojtek Pilorz 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

After yum upgrade, the new CentOS5 kernel [ kernel-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.i686 ] crashes each time early in boot process on Compaq ProLiant 3000 with dual Pentium3 CPU (600 MHz, CPU0: Intel Pentium III (Katmai) stepping 03, CPU1 the same). I get kernel panic at powernowk8_init+0x05e/0x1c3. The previous kernel [ kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.i686 ] seems to work fine. I am wondering if anyone has met this on PIII CPU ? I have found 99.9% identical problem on http://www.nabble.com/net-5501-and-RHEL5.2-td18024549.html (only esp and task slightly different from what I have seen on screen after crash, all other registers, call trace, code bytes identical to my case) , but that was on a different CPU. On the other hand, I run CentOS upgraded to 5.2 on a home PC with PIII (single CPU, Abit motherboard with i440BX chipset) with no problem. Is it normal, that powernowk8_init gets called on PIII CPU? Best regards, Wojtek

Flaky desktop audio behavior.
by William L. Maltby 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Might have some kind of bug here. I want to know if anybody else is seeing this. It's happened twice now, so I should be able to repeat it. $ rpm -q centos-release centos-release-5-2.el5.centos On my desktop, I "su -" to another user. Then "nohup thunderbird", it gets the mail and plays the announcement. ISTM this is an error right off the bat as this user is not the desktop owner. But that's not the main point. I really am OK with that behavior in my instance. The problem is that the sound system goes muted, as indicated by the volume control on my desktop panel and I can't recover from it except by a reboot. When I try to open the sound control panel, I get an error panel saying "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found". If I just try to un-mute, there's no error message but the status does not change. I've attached a snapshot of the error panel. Further, in chasing another problem that Jim (hce) had, we have done this: # find . -type f -exec echo {} \; -exec cat {} \; >/tmp/asound.play.bug Normally it acts as expected but now I get this. cat: ./acpi/event: Device or resource busy cat: ./sys/net/ipv6/route/flush: Operation not permitted cat: ./sys/net/ipv4/route/flush: Operation not permitted cat: ./sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register: Invalid argument cat: ./sysrq-trigger: Invalid argument and it hangs right there. <Ctl>-<C> breaks OK. I feel it might be related to Jim's problem. I feel it might be a bug. Can anybody reproduce? I think the T'bird step is coincidental. I think any sound played as another user should reproduce it. Hmmm ... I might be assuming to much if I assume another user is significant. TIA -- Bill

Need basic PPPoE startup help
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I need basic PPPoE startup help. adsl-start DID bring up my PPPoE link (ppp0) to my ISP over eth0 via the DSL modem/bridge. My IPv4 CIDR block is routing and Shorewall is doing the firewalling. But shorewall has to be started after ppp0 is up and working. For now this means running shorewall restart (or start?). Shorewall 4.2 will have a way to restart shorewall without recompiling, I learned on the their list. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 I have: BOOTPROTO=dialup NAME=DSLppp0 DEVICE=ppp0 TYPE=xDSL ONBOOT=no Should ONBOOT be changed to yes, or is there some startup script that I should add the /sbin/adsl-start ppp0 command line followed with the shorewall restart command? I am away at IEEE 802 plenary meeting next week, and I need this to be automated in case of system glitches. Also sometimes the Speedstream just stops forwarding datagrams. Supposedly if it overheats. This requires a power recycle for the speedstream (and my ISP will not use anything else for the modem services). I suspect this will glich the PPPoE connection as well, so I will need some sort of watchdog and a restart of ppp0 and Shorewall. Attached is a rather large script of a user that I picked up on the Shorewall list for some Linux distro. I am NOT a script reader, let alone writer. Should I use this (how would I modify it for Centos and a ppp0 interface) and where would I place it to run as needed? ======================================================= #!/usr/bin/perl -w #THIS SCRIPT CREATED BY EJM (alias Erik Mundall) IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT CONNECTION WITH THE TWO #PPPOE ADSL LINES WHICH HAVE PROVEN TO BE UNRELIABLE/UNSTABLE. 15 APRIL 2008 # #THIS PROGRAM NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING ROUTINE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONNECTIVITY OF THE TWO PPPOE LINES #AND TO SHARE THE INTERNET LOAD ACROSS THOSE AND ACROSS THE STATIC LINE # #THE STATIC SHOULD NEVER FAIL.

pm-utils - ATrpms updates a system package on the stable branch
by Kenneth Burgener 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I performed a clean minimal CentOS 5.2 install, fully updated the system, and then added the ATrpms repository. When I perform an update after adding the ATrpms repository, the package pm-utils is updated the the ATrpms repository. My understanding is there should not have been any updates as the stable version does not update system packages, right? "The CentOS 5/RHEL 5 repository from atrpms.net is safe to use, if you only use the stable version. Packages in there do not overwrite system packages." [1] If this is true, why did this package get updated? Thanks, Kenneth [1] http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/

How to Auto Add forward slash "/" when accessing a link/url through ProxyPass
by ankush grover 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi Friends, I am using Centos 5.2 and using ProxyPass to access applications running on other servers. Everything is working fine except for one of the applications I need to auto add forward slash when any user tries to access that application. For ex ProxyPass /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/ ProxyPassReverse /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/ If somebody access directly http://testdiary.example.com/ everything is coming means the login page but when the same link is accessed through apache server on which proxypass is running then the login page does not appear(http://portal.example.com/testdiary). How can I auto add "/" when somebody put the url http://portal.example.com/testdiary which should first be converted/redirected to http://portal.example.com/testdiary/ (auto added forward slash). I have the below lines added in httpd.conf file RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /testdiary RewriteRule /testdiary(.)$ /testdiary/ ProxyPass /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/ ProxyPassReverse /testdiary http://testdiary.example.com/ Please let me know if you need any other information. Regards Ankush

Hi, I need to run /bin/mount and /sbin/mount.cifs commands as nobody user (it has (bin/bash shell). So, I've edited /etc/sudoers and added: Cmnd_Alias CMD_MOUNT = /bin/mount Cmnd_Alias CMD_CIFS ) = /sbin/mount.cifs nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: CMD_MOUNT nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: CMD_CIFS But when I run the command as nobody (in the shell), I get the error: "mount error 1 = Operation not permitted" Any ideas ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

USB not detected after update
by Nicholas 09 Jul '08

Hi all, currently on a lenovo R60, after upgrading the CentOS 5.1 I cant detect the USB device any more. The initial installation doesnt have any problems at all. Cannot find solution in forums and bugs either. I am not sure if its a bug or wrongly did an update. The lsusb did not show the device. Things I did: (1) updated to 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 i686 then to 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 i686 and here are some of the settings after update (2) Ran lsmod ehci_hcd 33101 0 ohci_hcd 23261 0 uhci_hcd 25421 0 (3) Ran cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 204299 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 208 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 11: 2 0 IO-APIC-edge ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb3, uhci_hcd:usb4, uhci_hcd:usb5, HDA Intel, i915@pci:0000:00:02.0 12: 4782 3521 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 6429 11429 IO-APIC-edge libata 15: 27 1370 IO-APIC-edge ide1 209: 27 2661 PCI-MSI eth0 NMI: 0 0 LOC: 204143 204151 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 (4) When I plug in usb disk, the /var/log/messages shows Jul 9 12:35:01 localhost kernel: usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 Jul 9 12:35:02 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: Unlink after no-IRQ?

"installation method" (CentOS 5.2)
by Herta Van den Eynde 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.2 on a Dell PE 1850 via the DRAC 4 card, with CentOS-5.2-i386-bin-1of6.iso mounted as virtual media. At the boot prompt, I hit <Enter>, which should start the graphical installation, but it starts off with a text installation. I am asked - whether I want to test the media, which I skip - what language I want to use - I select English - what keyboard I have - I select us - the installation method - "What type of media conatins the packages to be installed?" I have the choice between - Local CDROM - Hard drive - NFS image - FTP - HTTP but not virtual CDROM. How can I get it to install from the virtual CDROM? (and no, choosing Local CDROM doesn't work). Why is the question there in the first place? It got that far using the virtual media, so why not simply continue using it? Kind regards, Herta P.S. CentOS 5.1 doesn't have this issue, but I just erased the 5.1 isos, so I'm hoping that I won't need to reload them all. -- "Life on Earth may be expensive, but it comes with a free ride around the Sun."

share folder as USB mass storage device
by Bent Terp 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi all! Maybe I'm just being silly here, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever used their computer for sharing files over USB. That is, the computer pretends to be a USB mass storage device. This could be useful for connecting to media players and such that support you plugging a USB harddrive or memory stick. Surely, somebody must have thought of this before :-D regards, Bent

install from USB thumdrive
by Jerry Geis 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi all Is there a procedure to use an 8GIG thumbdrive to copy the centos 5.2 dvd contents to the thumbdrive then run isolinux (or something like it) and be able to use the thumbdrive as the install media? Seems like it should work, however my machine only has syslinux not isolinux. yum provides isolinux does not return anything. Anyway I was trying to get to a point where I can just stick a USB fab in a machine, have the fab setup with the correct kickstart and everything so it just installs. I cant modify a DVD but a fab I could put the kickstart files on and nothing to type. jerry

Drive activity every 30sec
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

I have a Centos installed on a Hitachi 2.5" drive that shuts off really quickly, it seems. So every 30 sec, the drive makes the sound of an access activity. I have looked trying to find what might be being updated. Swap drive usage is 0 bytes. No activity in /var/log. What might it be and can I do anything to lessen the drive access (improve battery life)?

OK. Now that I have already upgraded, how do I migrate my bookmarks. :( Should have exported them before the upgrade, I suspect....

Centos 5.2 and 2.6.18-92 Kernel backported SATA fixes?
by Michael Rock 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Last year to get motherboards with the G33 chipset with SATA working with Centos I had to either use David Harbic fixes or use Fedora 8 since it had the later 2.6.25 kernel. I no longer see David's fixes available and also see in the 5.2 release notes "update SATA driver and infrastructure". Did Redhat finally incorporate fixes to full support the new G33 chipset and SATA? I have more of these G33 chipset motherboards with Q6600 cpu. Trying to decide which is the least hassle setup and long term i386 or x86_64, on either Centos 5.2 or Fedora 9?

Problem with logrotate and compress

Hi I am using Centos 5.1 and I have a weird problem with squid logs rotation. I have the file squid as follow in /etc/logrotate.d: Recently I reduce size parameter. /var/log/squid/access.log { weekly missingok rotate 10 compress create 0660 squid squid missingok size 200M

Any ideas? (I've also modified create parameter for squid be owner of access logs and run by hand logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/squid to see if it repeats the case) Thanks in advance -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -
