Hello What is the default or recommended file-max in /proc/sys/fs/ ? I remember that having a large number of open files or sockets make system be unstable, and now that I am checking my server the file-max is about 386466 . Is opened sockets will be added to opened files as well. Thanks

help diagnosing tftp server on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hi all, I have a centos 5 box I have setup, current with updates. (I have done this many times on centos 4). I did the yum install tftp-server, changed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file as shown. # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \ # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \ # and to start the installation process for some operating systems. service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -v -s /tftpboot disable = no per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 } Did the service xinetd restart. Now from another computer on the network I am trying manually "tftp IP -c get myfile" and nothing happens. /tftpboot permissions are: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 2 16:26 tftpboot the myfile is also world readable in that directory. I have disabled the iptables "service iptables stop". I ran "tcpdump port 69" to show me all tftp traffic an I see NOTHING when I manually run the tftp command above on another computer. The second computer can ssh into the server no problem. I can, on the server, to tftp localhost -c get myfile and that works fine. What or HOW can I determine why I cannot tftp from that machine? This seems so straight forward. Thanks, frustrated me... Jerry

restore to different hardware?
by Les Mikesell 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Is there a HOWTO or checklist that covers the typical steps to back up a working machine and restore it to a machine with different disk controllers and network cards? I've muddled through it a time or two, sometimes rebuilding the initrd, sometimes doing a dummy install just to get a working /boot and modprobe.conf, sometimes copying the /boot partition from a machine with identical hardware and / from the one I want to restore, but I always forget some detail - like fixing modprobe.conf or fstab, or making sure that the kernel versions are at the same rev when copying /boot and / from different sources. If there are other differences, they can be patched up fairly easily once the machine boots and is on the network. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Network issue after new kernel install
by Paul Norton 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hello CentOS list, On all of my CentOS 5 VMWare ESX3 virtual machines (about 15), after installing a new kernel and rebooting the machine, the Network script tries to run dhclient and can't determine the IP info (since I don't run a dhcpd server... it's a static IP only lan). This also backs up my ifcfg-eth0 file to ifcfg-eth0.bak and writes a new ifcfg-eth0 that has dhcpd with no IP info. Copying the ifcfg-eth0.bak to ifcfg-eth0 and running /etc/init.d/network start or ifup eth0 brings my network back up. This is an example of what one of my ifcfg-eth0 files looks like... # Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] DEVICE=eth0 BROADCAST=69.x.x.x #HWADDR=00:50:56:9C:19:7D IPADDR=69.x.x.x IPV6ADDR= IPV6PREFIX= NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=69.x.x.0 ONBOOT=yes Any ideas?

If I understand what you want to do, you can use the builtin ssh ProxyCommand Let's say you want to connect from your home machine to various machines in the .imag.fr domain, going through sshgate.imag.fr (the only host in imag.fr that is accessible by ssh from the outside). On the home client, make a file called config in your ~/.ssh/ dir. Mine looks something like this: [nico@localhost ~]$ cat ~/.ssh/config Host *.imag User nico ProxyCommand ssh nico(a)sshgate.imag.fr "nc $(basename %h .imag) %p" Then I can type "ssh host1.imag", and it works. It's also fine with sftp, scp, and pretty much anything that runs over ssh. nc has to be installed on sshgate, but it most probably is (might be called netcat). You have to type 2 passwords unless you use ssh key authentication, which you should (at least between home and sshgate). hope this helps. Nico TM

tftp on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi all, I have setup tftp on centos 4 before an it worked. I am not setting up tftp on centos 5. I have added many -v -v -v -v to the tftp config file. /var/log/messages shows me connection from the IP address - but no errors. My client eventually times out as the file is not being provided. It works by the way on localhost, just not from a client. selinux is turned off. I iptables turned off. tftp is running and my files are in /tftpboot everything is read accesss. I did the yum install tftp-server as normal. Nothing is in my hosts.allow and hosts.deny why might my client be timing out... Thanks, Jerry

Wierd Networking Problem
by Shawn Everett 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi Guys, I'm 100% sure this is not a Linux issue but I want a second opinion... I have a Linux server running CentOS. It was been absolutely perfect without any errors or problems. Since Monday it has been unable to send email. It is configured to act as a smart host. All email gets forwarded to smtp.isp.net. The server is on a network behind a firewall completely nat'd. No ports are forwarded to it. telnet smtp.isp.net 25 generates the following: Trying a.b.c.d... Connected to smtp.isp.net. Escape character is '^]'. And then nothing. All other machines can connect to smtp.isp.net 25 without a problem. They also use that host for their outgong mail server. Using links to surf the web has a similar result. It just hangs traceroute and nslookups work correctly. There are no errors anywhere. The network in question has various routing and vlan configurations, proxy servers and such. I tend to suspect they're the problem. They're also not in my control. The firewall does show the Linux box attempting to make SMTP connections but nothing else. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I have not yet rebooted the server. Shawn

Systems management with "func" (new Fedora project)
by Michael DeHaan 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

There's a systems management app several of us are working on in Fedora space many of you may be interested in... https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/func/ Basically func is a way to address multiple-systems at once, like SSH, but with much easier certificate distribution and pluggable XMLRPC modules (written in Python), and easy scriptability. Func's certmaster can also be used to distribute certificates to other programs for use in their communications. You can read more on the project page. There are some interesting demo apps bundled with it, like an inventory application (that uses git for storing differences), and a script which can tell you which computers on your network have exploding laptop batteries :) There are also some neat modules that can gather data from nagios plugins without having to actually have nagios installed. Anyhow, if you are interested, check out the project page and join the mailing list. We have func already submitted to Fedora, it should be in EPEL shortly, and if someone wants to include this in CentOS testing that's great too. We are very interested in people contributing new modules and scripts for things they find interesting/useful. Feedback/ideas/comments welcome. Thanks! --Michael

by Rogelio 31 Oct '07

rate limiting question between two hosts
by Rogelio 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

If I need to rate limit file transfers between to machines, what can I do at the host-level within CentOS, and what might I need to "yum install" in order to do? (For example, say I would like to rsync something, and then I would like to make sure that I don't exceed, say, 10 Mbs.)

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15
by David Hrbáč 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi, It seems to me, that kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15 is maybe not ok. I have been trying to rebuild my patched kernel RPMS in virtual machine running i686 kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15. It had failed for the three times with segmentation fault. First run under kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14 went smoothly. So, maybe it's a kernel issue or it's VMWare (Server 1.04). Anyone to reproduce the issue? Thanks, David

bugzilla on C5?
by Scott Ehrlich 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

I'd like to test/play with bugzilla on my CentOS 5 system. I tried yum install bug* but that came up empty. I tried a google for yum install bugzilla and found a few people who had apparently done it... I then went to the bugzilla web site and downloaded 3.0.2, extracted it to a directory of my choice, then visited the Quickstart file. Initial trial of perl -MCPAN -e 'install GD::Graph' yields some errors I'm not versed in deciphering on how to fix. Help is most appreciated. Thanks. Scott

Boot Log Problems
by Robert Slade 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hi, I have just updated from CentOS 4 to 5 and I am seeing a problem with udev during booting, but I am unable to track it down as it looks like the boot.log is not working. The file is there but empty and the previous log only lists events up to the point at which I upgraded. syslog.conf looks ok to me in so much as there is an entry pointing to /var/log/boot.log. Any suggestions as to what I should be looking at? Rob

Interpreting audit logs?
by Scott Ehrlich 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Whenever I review audit logs, it is difficult for me to determine if an account was logged in at an usual day/time because there is no timestamp next to any entry, at least as I interpret the format. How, then do I properly and successfully review the audit log entries based on a date/time stamp? Also, how can I filter out root and sudo account entries, displaying everyone else in audit? Thanks.

accurate file size
by centos＠unixplanet.biz 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hello I was copying some files from one server to other, that I relized the total file size ( sum of all files ) in one server is a bit more than the one that copied from ( about 6 when I do du -s ) individual file sizes are identical, when I do one by one file comparison, but the sum is different. is there any more accurate way to make sure of integrity of the file. ( other than pgp or signature ) Thanks

migrating files for centos virtualization, virtual disk no longer boots.
by Jerry Geis 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

All, I am playing with virtualization on centos 5. I took my old redhat 7 disks and created a 10GIG virtual disk, I installed redhat 7. Now I am trying to get the EXACT image copied off of my actual redhat 7 disk so that I know it is the same (including all patches, updates and OTHER things I did to it that I have forgotten about). I booted the redhat 7 image just fine at this point. I also copied it for backup so I dont have to install again. So on my centos 5 box I mounted the image with a loop command. mount -t ext3 -o loop,offset=32256 redhat7.img /mnt/image This works fine. Then I logged into the redhat 7 system and executed the command tar --exclude ./proc --exclude ./mnt --exclude ./sys --exclude ./dev -cvf - . | ssh root(a)192.168.1.8 "( cd /mnt/image ; tar xvpf -)" Where 192.168.1.8 is my centos 5 box and /mnt/image the mounted image. The copy seems to go fine. But after I do this when I try to virtualize the redhat7 image it stops at: GRUB When I copy the second image back on top of the first image it then boots again. So glad I made that copy of the image file. What is happening with the tar command that is messing up grub and keeping it from booting? Thanks, Jerry

Large scale Postfix/Cyrus email system for 100,000+ users
by Matt Shields 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

I'm trying to set up a large scale email system that supports 100,000+ IMAP accounts. We have an existing frontend web interface that does a lookup on a mysql db to figure out which IMAP server to connect to for each user. For the email infrastructure we have decided on Postfix and Cyrus. We have configured both to use mysql to get the virtual user information. Because of the way that the infrastructure is (biz reasons) we are not doing shared storage, we have numerous IMAP servers that we distribute accounts across. As we add more users, we image up a new IMAP server. For our business's scaling purposes this was the best plan. What I am having a problem is how do I get postfix to transfer the email to the particular IMAP server that the user account is on. I know that I need to use lmtp and transport, but all the examples I have seen show forwarding all email to 1 IMAP server. I would like Postfix to do a lookup for each mailbox and determine which IMAP server to deliver it to. Anyone have a working example that they could share? It would be greatly appreciated. thanks -matt

mp3 recorder?
by Scott Ehrlich 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

I have my tape deck connected to my PC's line-in port, but Audacity's unstable release is unable to pick up the audio, though when I select the proper device and play with the volume control in the app, the audio does change. What other mp3 capture programs do people use? My goal is to simply capture each side of a tape to mp3, then use Audacity to break each song to its own mp3 file. Thanks. Scott
