FreeNX issues
by jake l. eaker 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

I have just installed freenx on two seperate centos 5.0 boxes. I had freenx server working before performing a "yum update" (which upgraded centos to 5.1). I then rebooted the box and now the display starts to show on the client, but then terminates the connection for no reason (at least nothing in any server logs). Below is the session info on the client machine. NXPROXY - Version 3.0.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '14861'. Session: Starting session at 'Wed Jan 16 05:02:52 2008'. Info: Connection with remote proxy completed.

I get the same session info coming from separate windows and linux client boxes. Any help would be appreciated. --Jake

Fun with nosetuid!
by Scott Ehrlich 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

On an unpatched Centos 4.4 system I chmod'd /usr/bin/sudo to ug+s, and set the filesystem in /etc/fstab to defaults,nosetuid. Reboot, and am told sudo needs to be set to setuid root. An ls -l shows rwsrws-- root root sudo I had to use a rescue CD to undo /etc/fstab for the filesystem partition so sudo would work. What am I missing? Thanks. Scott

AW: [CentOS] tty login vs Gnome screen lock
by Marc Rebischke 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Which Keyboard-Layout do you use ? Maybe that's the trick... Well, i use Germay Keyboard Layout, but when the Screen lock is coming up The "z" and "y" is swapped (qwertz vs. querty). Try logging in Using us-keyboard-Layout. Just my 2 cents... Regards Marc Rebischke ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Scott Ehrlich <scott(a)MIT.EDU> Gesendet: Dienstag, 15.

OT: Dell BIOS and mixed drives
by Barry Schiffman 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

I have a Dell Precision 360, which has both onboard SATA and ultra ATA controllers, and I put one of each kind of drive into the bays to make an experimental machine with the xen kernel. After enabling both of drives, the BIOS recognizes each drive, but it fails to boot, giving me the message "secondary drive 1 not found". The BIOS gives me a choice of going ahead or going to setup. Choosing 'continue anyway' has no effect. I can circumvent this going to F12 to manually choose to boot from the 'Primary Master' (rather than the SATA primary, or the CD, or Hard Disk Drive C:). I still get the warning about secondary drive 1 not found, but now I can choose to go ahead. At this point, grub takes over and everything is fine, boots fine, both drives show up. In fact, I installed CentOS from the DVD, and during installation there was no hint of a problem with using the two drives. In the BIOS setup, I do not get all the drives to choose from -- just Hard Disk Drive C: and the CD. Can anyone suggest a way around this? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

CentOS 5 partial update
by Florin Andrei 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

I've a couple CentOS 5.0 x86_64 systems, the software was updated a while before the transition to 5.1 The systems run a LAMP software. I'd like to do a "yum update" excluding mysql and the kernel, therefore upgrading the whole thing to 5.1 with the exception of the excluded packages. I wonder if this might cause any problems. Of course I could do some tests myself, but I'm asking here for real-life feedback, in case someone else did the same thing. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

hdX vs sdX on centos 5.x with ata_piix
by Farkas Levente 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

hi, on centos 5.x and fedora 6 there are hdX and sdX while from fedora 7 (and probably centos 6.x) there will be only sdX. is it possible with the latest centos kernel to use the same ata_piix driver to handle all disk (ie. both pata and sata) so we've only sdX disk devices like it's the current setup on newer fedora release. we try to disable ide0=noprobe etc. which really disable hdX but even if the kernel load the ata_piix driver it's still not load these disks. thanks in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Firefox and Flash
by Niki Kovacs 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hi, I have CentOS 5.1 with the latest updates running on all my desktops. Firefox has the flash-plugin from RPMForge installed, and I think this is the cause that it crashes quite often. Is there a more stable Flash plugin somewhere? I had a similar problem on Slackware 12.0 with the "stable" plugin from Adobe. I replaced that with the "development" version from labs.macromedia.com, and after that, Firefox crashed much less. It's a pity that the folks from Red Hat chose Firefox as their "default" browser. I've been using Seamonkey for some time and found it 1) as pleasant to use 2) much more stable and 3) much less RAM-consuming. cheers, Niki

Making a NAS/HFS server
by Steve Campbell 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

I ran into a problem that I couldn't resolve straight away, but would like to solve for sometime in the future. We have a Thecus storage server (similar to a Buffalo TeraByte, if that helps?) that has a Mac filesystem on it. The mother board was failing, but the drives are still OK. A new box has been added, so the urgency is sort of gone. I was going to try and back up the data to a new CentOS 5.1 box I had until the new Thecus arrived, but ran into the problem of Mac resource forks not being copied when I mounted the Thecus as a CIFS system. Is there a commonly used procedure to do the above task of copying a Mac (HFS, I think) system to a linux box from the linux box? This sort of runs into another project we have in the works where we want to make the equivalent of a SAN/NAS type storage system. We want to have a cluster of Centos boxes running for shared storage, and have the ability to add to it seamlessly. But now, I'm wondering if it won't run into the same problem with the HFS or other filesystems that may be used. I understand NAS storage sort of handles the different filesystem protocols by interface, so I wondering if anyone has a pointer to something like this also. Google keeps pointing me in a circle back to an old HFS+ driver that sort of stopped development in 2003. The trail ends very abruptly. Sorry to be so windy, but offer thanks in advance for any clues. Steve Campbell

Hi Centos Users The server (ProLiant DL380 G5, Centos 4.3) was not responsible anymore (SSH), fans rotated at full power and the console was blank. After restart it seems to be fine.

Kickstart install with a degraded raid array
by Rick Barnes 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Is it possible to install CentOS 5 with a degraded RAID 1 array using kickstart? I have the kickstart file already created but the "server" I want to use only has 1 hard drive in it at the moment. Until I can order a 2nd drive, I wanted to install the OS then once I received the replacement drive "fix" the array. I have seen instructions how to do this manually, but so far have not been able to get it to work using kickstart. Anyone tried this in the past? Thanks, Rick

Hi Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd files from the boot partition and the grub conf file? TIA ChrisG

Strange: wireless card shouldn't work, but it works ?!?
by Niki Kovacs 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I know this is a rather unusual request. Normally, people would complain about a card that *should* work, but here goes. I have a series of machines in a computer room, all equipped with a RT2561 wireless card. CentOS doesn't include support for that card, so what I usually do to install a system: 1) Install a *very* minimal base system (the bare minimum). 2) Install some development tools (gcc, kernel-devel) from the CentOS install CDs. 3) Copy over the driver source (rt2561-cvs-daily.tar.gz) downloaded on another machine. 4) Compile that driver and install it (plain make && make install). 5) Configure my network to use the wireless card. 6) yum update my base system once I have network. This method has the advantage of avoiding having to pull 20-meter Ethernet cables only to configure wireless :oD Now one thing puzzles me. I have the install CD set from 5.0. The default kernel is 2.6.18-8.el5. Once I updated the whole base system and rebooted on it, I'm using the updated kernel, e. g. 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 at this date. As far as I understand, each kernel has its own set of kernel modules under /lib/modules/`uname -r`. A quick ls on /lib/modules effectively shows me the two directories for the two kernels. I installed my wireless driver on the old kernel, which means normally after rebooting I'd have to build and install it again for my new kernel. Bu strangely enough, when I reboot on the new kernel, my wireless card still works without me having rebuilt the driver. I'm clueless about this. Niki

CentOS Book
by Niki Kovacs 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I'm using CentOS on server and desktop since 4.2, and I'm quite happy with it. Can you recommend some complete documentation besides the RHEL Deployment Guide? For example, I have a big fat paper book "FreeBSD Unleashed", 700 pages chock full of useful information. Now I wonder if you can recommend something similar for CentOS (RHEL / Fedora). cheers, Niki

winbind - 32bit vs 64bit
by Bleier Thomas 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi all, I've running a CentOS 5 64bit server that hosts VMware Server and uses authentication via Samba/Winbind. The problem is that authentication in the VMware Server web interface does not work because apparently it is a 32bit application and CentOS 5 x86_64 provides only a 64bit version of the pam_winbind.so library. At least that what I conduct from the following message I get in /var/log/security: Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_winbind.so) Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_winbind.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_winbind.so And when I look into the filesystem I find a pam_winbind.so in /lib64/security and none in /lib/security. Of course the module is in the samba-common.i386 package, but since it also contains a lot of other tools and utilities I don't want to install it in addition to the 64bit version. Any advice/hints?

"find" switch to find files of a certain size?
by techlists＠comcast.net 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Is there a switch in "find" (or some other command besides find) that'll let you find files larger than a specified size? My file system is 88% full and I'd like to see where the biggest space hoggers are. PG

CentOS 5.1 and Xen HVM guest networking problem
by James Fidell 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

I've asked this on the Xen users list, but had no response so far: I'm running CentOS 5.1 with all current updates: xen-libs-3.0.3-41.el5 xen-3.0.3-41.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 and have a domU config file from another (5.0) server which works. The difference is that on the new machine I want to use routed rather than bridged networking. In bridging mode the domU works fine, but I can't use bridging on this particular server because of the external network configuration. I have modified /etc/xen/config.sxp, commenting out (network-script network-bridge) (vif-script vif-bridge) and uncommenting (network-script network-route) (vif-script vif-route) I've also changed the vif line in the domU config file to: vif = [ 'ip=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, vifname=veth1' ] The domU now boots, but has no eth0 interface (the driver doesn't load in the domU because it can't find a suitable device). Is there anything obvious I might have done wrong or missed out? There are no ethernet-related or network device errors in the logs that I can see. James

xen guest won't boot after yum update
by Peter Peltonen 14 Jan '08

After a yum update my two guests that had been shutdown do not start any more. I have two other guests running that seem to work okay but I am now afraid that they won't come up again if I restart them. I am running CentOS5 with kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen.

CentOS 5.1 and HP DL145 G2 SATA server configured with Raid
by Joseph L. Casale 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

I have a task to set this up, but don't have access to it until I finally I am needed to do it. If anyone is familiar with this server, do you know if the motherboard based raid is software based (I can't find any real pointer at hp's site)? If so, I suppose it would be better to install CentOS and setup raid inside of Linux. Given that I have never used anything but hardware raid, what should I expect if the primary disc fails? I suppose it would only be a problem once it reboots and the motherboard bios sits and waits to boot the dead disc? Using a real raid hba isn't possible as the only two expansion slots will be full. Thanks! jlc

Can TFTPD run in a chroot jail?
by Eric B. 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for the last couple of hours and am nowhere near solving the problem. I am trying to run a tftp server in a chroot jail. Now perhaps I am being paranoid, but I would like to have it launched from within its own jail even if it supposedly does a chroot itself and runs with a parameterizable user. I downloaded the atftp-server package and tried to set up my own tftpd jail. I copied over the linked libs to the proper place, the /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, /etc/hosts, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv, /etc/services files. I even created the dev/null device and set up syslog to read from the jail/dev/log device. However, I can't seem to launch it from within the jail. It works fine when I try from the regular prompt, but when I try to launch from within the jail, I doesn't want to start: [root@apollo tftpd]# /usr/sbin/chroot /chroot/tftpd/ /usr/sbin/atftpd --daemon --no-fork in /var/log/messages: Jan 12 23:09:02 apollo atftpd[17479]: atftpd: udp/tftp, unknown service So it apparently is unable to read my /chroot/tftpd/etc/services file. If I set the port number manually: [root@apollo tftpd]# /usr/sbin/chroot /chroot/tftpd/ /usr/sbin/atftpd --daemon --no-fork --port 69 -user eric.eric Jan 12 23:16:05 apollo atftpd[17556]: atftpd: can't change identity to eric.eric, exiting. I know the tftpd daemon is able to read the /chroot/tftpd/etc/ directory as it is properly reading my /etc/localtime file (if i remove /etc/localtime the logged timestamp changes). Can anyone point me in the right direction as to things to try? I've tried everything I can think of, and even then some things, but just can't figure it out... Thanks! Eric

Missing autofs update for C5?
by Bernd Bartmann 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, the last released autofs update for Centos 5 is version autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.1. On 2007-12-20 upstream released version autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.2. As several other updates were released in the meantime maybe the autofs update has been overlooked? Best regards, Bernd.

I have a number of machines that have 4 NICs, two of which are actually in use, running Centos 5. When they are rebooted, they seem to change the eth interface names, assigning them in different orders. I'm a little fuzzy on the details because they are at a remote location and I can't access them easily - especially after the network breaks. Shouldn't: alias eth0 bnx2 alias eth1 bnx2 alias eth2 e1000 alias eth3 e1000 in /etc/modprobe.conf always make the intel cards eth2 and 3? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

ERROR during HTTP install from a Centos mirror
by fred smith 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Hi! I'm trying to install centos 5.1 as a http installation from a centos mirror. i've done it before with Fedora, figured I could do it with Centos, too, but every time I try it, it goes all the way thru Anaconda to the point of entering the root password, then I get an error about not being able to find the repodata. I note that the section in the "upstream" manuals about network installs imply (without ever being extremely specific) that you would have your own server with the files on it. Is this some limitation that prevents us from using a centos mirror instead? Anyway, I've tried with two mirrors. when it asked me for the system name and the path to the directory, I entered this (for one of the tries): www.gtlib.gatech.edu /pub/centos/5.1/os/i386 and for the other mirror mirror.rhsmith.umd.edu /pub/centos/5.1/os/i386 in the two lines of the form. Is this right? (the manuals aren't really really terribly explicit). Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord is like a strong tower.

Re: [CentOS] Howto for LDAP authentication with replication
by Ross S. W. Walker 12 Jan '08

In fact Kerberos and LDAP are two great tastes that go well together. Keep user information and authorization information in LDAP while keep user authentication information in Kerberos. Later you could try to keep Kerberos authentication information in LDAP with Heimdel (spelling?) Kerberos (like MS AD does) though many purists feel this compromises the whole Kerberos security principal. Maybe it does, but it sure makes for easy redundancy. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Sat Jan 12 18:49:31 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Howto for LDAP authentication with replication > Just so we're clear here, you are actually trying to learn two distinct > things simultaneously, how to use LDAP and how to use LDAP to > authenticate.

Thank you for the info. I understand that LDAP and authentication are not the same thing. We use LDAP within our organization for storing other types of data but most of the staff do not like to deal with it. In fact some team members were opposed to using LDAP for authentication, now I understand why! It seems to be a pain in the ass to learn how to use and configure. > I can tell you that Gerald Carter's book makes the entire process > painless but you are going to do it your way and I respect that to a > point...but ask that you recognize that you do so at the peril of > massive frustration. At this point I am leaning toward using kerberos instead. It took me 20 minutes to get a working kerberos server installation up and running, and I can now easily add new users and authenticate them, manage tickets, etc. Now I understand what you meant about LDAP not being designed for authentication.

centos command to monitor a process for exit
by Jerry Geis 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Is there a command that will monitor a process for exiting (crash or normal exit) and then execute another command based on the said process no longer being active? Or is there a "wrapper" command that runs a process and when that process exists due to crashing or just exiting normally) that another process can be run. Thanks, Jerry

md5 passwords?
by Scott Ehrlich 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

On a C4.4 system, I want to add md5 passwords for the grub boot menu to prevent users from making selections other than the default boot options. I also want to add md5 passwords when attempting single user mode boots (may be answered by first request). The same for C5 systems. Thanks. Scott

Out of disk space at 2 GB?
by Scott Ehrlich 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem? I believe the hard drive is good. Ideas welcome. Thanks. Scott

PHP 5.2.5 when ?
by Santa Claus 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Hi >> When (some) expected rpm package for the upgrade php to version 5.2.5(CentOS4) ? >ummm ... the answer is probably never. It is not clear why Red Hat (and CentOS too), so weak responds to changes of important packages. In this case the question: how to upgrade to PHP 5.2.5 correctly? 1. make ... etc. 2. or go search rpms/rpm in private repositories (for example: http://www.jasonlitka.com/2007/11/16/upgrading-to-php-525-on-rhel-and-cento… )? -- wbr

How do I change the default media player from Totem to <anything-else>?
by MHR 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

On CentOS 5.1 (and before), the default player for CD and DVD media is Totem, despite the fact (?) that it doesn't handle a whole bunch of media very well (i.e., can't play them at all) by default. Unfortunately, this is not one of the preferred applications controllable from that applet (it only does browser, email and terminal emulator. I'd like to change what plays the CDs and DVDs by default to something else. I tried a google on this, but nothing relevant showed up. Any suggestions? (Or is this a GNOME questions?) Thanks. mhr

Syslog timezone issue
by Bart Schaefer 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

We recently upgraded (as in, backup, reinstall, selective restore) a couple of servers from CentOS-3.9 to CentOS-5.1. This generally went smoothly but we've encountered one confusing problem with syslog. Under CentOS-3, syslog entries were always dated in the host local timezone. With CentOS-5.1, they're dated in UTC *most* of the time, but occasionally in the local timezone. This has seriously confused a couple of our homegrown process monitoring scripts. The cron, secure, and maillog logs are all consistently in the local timezone ... it's only /var/log/messages that wanders around. It appears that any given process is consistent about which timezone it uses, but there's no obvious reason why any particular process gets the local zone vs. UTC. For example, we have a couple of long-running daemons that fork children to handle network requests, and although the parent daemon consistently logs in one timezone, its forks (which do not even do an exec, so they should be identical to the parent) randomly switch to the other timezone. What we'd like is for the local timezone always to be used as it was before. What configuration option or whatever, have we missed?

Centos 5 Samba File Server dropping files
by J 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Twice I've gotten the report that a user has attempted to move a folder of many files up one level, and all of the files disappeared. Searching for the files in the share proves that they aren't there any more, nor are they where they should have been moved to. I desperately need to find the cause of this. Has anyone else seen this happen on their file server? The samba log file doesn't appear to be any help. It just shows that some files were opened and closed. The second user that I got this report from is a competent user. From the Windows' client side, no error is generated. They are just moved into a void. I'm using Centos 5, smbclient Version 3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2 Any help is greatly appreciated! As you might imagine, a file server dropping folders of files into the ether is a cause for concern. I don't think the answer is in the samba config file (It works fine under all other circumstances), but here it is, just in case: [global] workgroup = platinum server string = Receptionist security = user hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.0. 127. ; load printers = yes ; printing = cups cups options = raw log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 interfaces = lo eth0 os level = 33 ;preferred master = yes ; wins support = yes wins server = 192.168.1.130 dns proxy = no username map = /etc/samba/smbusers veto files = /lost+found encrypt passwords = yes ; guest ok = no ; guest account = nobody [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /misc2/shares/netlogon guest ok = yes browseable = No [network-resources] path = /misc2/shares/network-resources guest ok = no browseable = yes writeable = yes writelist = jae [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba printable = yes guest ok = yes [win-profiles] path = /home/win-profiles browseable = yes writeable = yes # create mask = 0666 # directory mask = 0777 profile acls = yes csc policy = disable [FILE REPO] path = /misc2/FILE_REPO comment = "Restore files from here." write list = jae browseable = yes writeable = no guest ok = no [AllAccess] path = /misc2/shares/all.access comment = "No company sensitive files here." writeable = yes guest ok = yes force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 3771 [SharePPSI] path = /misc2/shares/share.ppsi writeable = yes force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 2771 [Investor Statements] path = "/misc2/shares/share.ppsi/Investor Statements" writeable = yes force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 2771 write list = @investor-statements valid users = @investor-statements [Compliance] path = "/misc2/shares/share.ppsi/Compliance" writeable = yes force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 2771 [script] path = /misc2/shares/script comment = "" force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 2770 write list = jae [script.data] path = /misc2/shares/script.data comment = "" writeable = yes force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 3771 [automail] path = /misc2/shares/automail comment = "Automatic mailing of text files" writeable = yes guest ok = no force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 3771 [forms] path = /misc2/shares/share.ppsi/forms writeable = yes browseable = yes force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 2771

Perhaps a Perl problem (Re: Syslog timezone issue)

It just occurred to me that these particular daemons are perl programs using Sys::Syslog, so maybe the problem is there. The forked children continue using the same Sys::Sylog object created by the parent, though, so that still leaves me wondering about the inconsistent timezone after the fork.
