xfs and centosplus kernel
by Fong Vang 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

I read that XFS has problems with 4K Stack size for Linux on 32-bit systems. How did we address this in the centosplus kernel? Since what release of CentOS was this problem resolved? Is there a quick way to know what size the Linux stack is configured to be in a system's that's running? Thanks for your help.

Setting clock rate on CentOS kernel
by Ben Mills 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Last evening I updated my Cent 5 server to 5.1. All went flawlessly, and it rebooted with the new kernel just fine. How do I set the clock rate on the new kernel? According to documentation it can be done, but everything I read is rather vague. Check out section 3 at the URL below: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1/ I'm using a 32 bit server installation (no graphical stuff) on a Dell Poweredge 2650. I'd like to compare performance of a 100 Hz kernel against a 1KHz kernel. It reads like it's simple enough to set the divider if I just knew where to set it. -- Ben

Apache Authorization Access Control - location of htpasswd in Centos 5.1?
by Pam Astor 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi, I’m trying to set up a private family web site for genealogy, and want to set up Apache Authorization access control for this site, and once the user has logged in has access to the entire site. I’ve been reading the info at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html to learn how to do this. I’m just planning on passing out the same username and password to all family members and allow everyone in the family to use the same username and password, to keep things simple. The server is running Centos 5.1. The first problem I am running into – I’m trying to use the htpasswd utility that came with Apache 2.2 to create a password file. The default location according to above URL is in /usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd but apparently it’s not located there in my install. I tried creating a password file by executing htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite but apparently htpasswd is not in my path, I’m getting the “cannot create file /passwd/passwords famsite” error. Anyone know where the default location of htpasswd is on a centos 5.1 install? Or how to generate a password file on a centos 5.1 install? _________________________________________________________________ Pack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies.

I personnaly like the combination: Postfix, Mailscanner, Group-Office. Group-office has the functionality i need (email, calendar, calendar sharing, tasks, filemanager, addressbooks, projectmanager etc... Yet is quite simple to setup and use... In the professional version there is also a synchronisation option to sync with outlook... Authentication can be performed on database, email or ldap... eGroupware is another one, similir to group-office but with much more functionality. > ----- Original Message ----- > Subject: [CentOS] MS Exchange Replacement > From: Joseph L.

Re: [CentOS] Apache Authorization Access Control - location of, htpasswd in Centos 5.1
by Iain Lee 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

I don't think it's the path of htpasswd that's the problem but here it is anyway: /usr/bin/htpasswd. The problem is more likely that the directory you're trying to create the password file in with the command "htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite" doesn't exist.

CentOS 5.2
by Michael A. Peters 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

If I read correctly - the 5.2 release will have xen 3.0 Does that mean I will be able to run vista as guest operating system? I seem to remember reading that vista could be run under xen 3.0 I have found instructions for installing XP under xen 3.0 in Debian, so I'm hoping it vista on CentOS 5.2 will also be possible ?? There's only a small handful of apps I need/want - but they don't do well under wine (IE garmin software for putting maps on my GPS) - and I don't want to dual boot.

using conf.d files to override options in httpd.conf
by Johnny Tan 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Like many of you, I like to avoid modifying /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as much as possible. Instead, modifying or adding files in /etc/httpd/conf.d However, because /var/www/html is declared within the main httpd.conf and certain directives are set along with "AllowOverride None" (thus forbidding use of .htaccess), it seems like the only way to override any of these options is to modify httpd.conf directly. If nothing else, at least setting "AllowOverride" to something besides None. Is that correct? Or does anyone know of a way to leave httpd.conf pristine, yet still override or set directives for /var/www/html? johnn

raid1 custom initrd and yum
by Sam Beam 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

OK sorry to hammer the list but one more question - having almost got the drives mirrored and happy - since I have created a custom initrd that has the raid1 drivers in it, do I now have to tell yum to ignore kernel updates? Will the stock kernel render me unbootable? Actually I am not 100% sure the initrd I created # mkinitrd -f --preload=raid1 /mnt/tmp/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` is even being used, because lsmod still lists a raid1 module. Wouldn't it be "embedded" in the running kernel and thus not in the module list? either way I am a little confused and this is important ;) best regards and thanks to all for the help, Sam

Applications staying open in Gnome
by Kai Schaetzl 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

CentOs 5.1 updated with Gnome as desktop. I notice that after a reboot some applications reappear mysteriously. It seems that the last application that was closed *before* reboot reappears. For instance I had gedit appearing for some time, opened with a blank "unknown document". Now I'm getting the hardware manager/soundcard section opened on the desktop each time I reboot because that was the last application I had open *and* closed a few reboots ago. I haven't tried many other applications as I do not use many. Applications that do not behave like this are terminal and the file manager. They appear like normal on the screen if they were open before the reboot. The only oddity about them is that if two of them were open only one reappears and terminal never opens on the position it was before. That may be a shortcoming of the Gnome window manager. But the other applications reappearing in that way seems odd. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Problem with dhcpd and bootp
by Kai Schaetzl 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

In order of making it easier to differentiate between existing clients and clients that I bring up only for installation and configuration I tried the following configuration. subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { pool { range 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.150; default-lease-time 86400; max-lease-time 604800; } pool { range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.151 192.168.1.180; default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 86400; next-server 192.168.1.231; filename "pxelinux.0"; } } in the hope that bootp-clients would get an IP from the second IP range. Documentation of dhcpd doesn't say if using two pools in one subnet is actually allowed. It works. Sort of. Many hardware clients, clients from VMWare server and from xen get an IP from the second range and pxe-boot. But there are clients who should pxe-boot but get the first IP number and won't pxe-boot. An example are HP Proliant DL140 servers. Can I do it different, so it works for all clients? Does the HP server use another method than bootp for getting the boot image?

Re: [CentOS] sendmail aliases
by Brent L. Bates 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Sendmail used to automatically compare creation dates of the text and database aliases files and when the text one was newer than the database one, sendmail would automatically update the database file at a convenient time. This made a lot of sense. However, the powers that be decided to break this great feature and removed it. I copied it back into to source we use. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

centos 5.1 x86_64 and ztdummy
by Jerry Geis 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Anyone out there using Centos 5.1 asterisk (ztdummy) x86_64, 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 kernel? I seem to be having problems with simple playback on asterisk(). If I do the normal service zaptel start (my configs have 0 hardware cards for asterisk) ztdummy is loaded and when doing a playback() I head no audio. If I unload ztdummy and do the same I hear playback. Please dont jump the gun hear and say this is an asterisk issue as I dont think so... This seems to be kernel related. perhaps an RTC (real time clock) thing? This version of asterisk has always worked for me before on centos 5.1 but now there is a newer kernel. Any one know anything about this? Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Re: sendmail aliases
by Brent L. Bates 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

The excuse given for removing the automatic update of the aliases database file was that it was a security issue. The thought was that someone could tapper with the file and cause problems. However, all these files are checked for proper file permissions and if they are not set correctly, sendmail will not work or at least give a warning. If someone nasty has permission to change the aliases text file, then they have permission to reck a lot more havoc on your system anyways and this change isn't going to help any. Personally, having sendmail do it itself is safer than me doing it manually. What if I'm in the process of updating the file at the same moment sendmail needs it. Sendmail could read a partial file and cause more problems. I see this already with the access file. With sendmail doing it on it's own, I don't have to worry about it. It will update it when it needs to.

Re: [CentOS] sendmail aliases
by Brent L. Bates 02 Apr '08

Actually it *IS* a source change. The `confAUTO_REBUILD' option has been deleted from the sendmail source files for some time now. One can put that option in the sendmail.mc configuration file, but it will not be used because it isn't in the source any more. I've double checked this and have looked at the source. Now, I suppose if one isn't using a current version of sendmail, then this option may still be in the version you are using.

backup to disk
by Ray Leventhal 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi, I'm looking for common practices for backing up user data to disk. My user data is all in /home. I'm also interested in what folks are doing for things backing up os and configs. Any pointers on setting up rsync, cpio, etc would be appreciated. Pointers to good how-to's especially welcome. Currently we're using Arkeia Network Backup (commercial product with which I am in no way affiliated), and it's great, but with disk space so cheap, I'd love to be able to take my current non-raid setup and find a way to get up and running quickly in the case of some failures. Thanks in advance, -Ray PS - sorry if this shows up twice...I posted on 29 March, but never saw it on the list :)

atrpms nvidia cannot load
by Sam Beam 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi guys - brand new 5.1 install here and quite happy - but... The nv driver did not work at all for me, fritzy stripes and dots. This is a GeForce 7300 LE which was working happily dual-head under FC6 with the livna nvidia RPMs So I looked around and it seemed like the ATRpms repo via yum was the best option for CentOS. This is what I installed, it worked great with the xorg.conf from the old system. But then I did a 'yum update' to the system and got a new kernel from centosplus (?). Now the nvidia module won't load. It's not happy with the new kernel. I am at a loss as to how to make it happy? what is the best way to install the closed-source drivers? direct from nvidia? recomplile them? Is there some gap between updates kernel and the atrpms modules? and in advance I am SORRY if this has been beat to death. I know ~75% of the traffic on the Fedora list was about nvidia woes and flames. Lame, but the DRI does work well on these and my daughter likes to play games. best, Sam

How to find available groups for installation via yum ?
by Primorec 01 Apr '08

Hi All, Short description of the problem: - I would like to install the complete 'xfce' desktop on CentOS5.x I've tried: yum groupinstall xfce yum groupinstall xfce4 yum groupinstall xfce* yum groupinstall xfce4* yum groupinstall xfce4.2 yum groupinstall xfce4.1 yum groupinstall xfce4.3 yum groupinstall xfce4.4 yum groupinstall xfce4.4.2 .... etc etc ... nothing worked then I've started googling the net and .... ____finally____ I found the magic combination. One very merciful soul posted the golden combination. yum groupinstall "XFCE-4.4" This did the trick. God bless him/her and all his relatives. He/She deserved it. question: Is there a way to check which packages are available for the installation as a 'group' using yum ? TIA Igor -- Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. Randy Pausch

5.1 did not detect marvell e-net controller

on an ASUS P5K-E wifi (wifi disabled in bios) board with: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12) centos 5.1 did not configure the device. Anyone else see this or have a solution? Tried forcing sky2 module, but init just says device does not seem to be present even tho lspci shows it on the bus. Is there another kernel module that also needs to be loaded besides sky2.ko? (got sky2 information from a fedora 8 install on same machine).
