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. Scott

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

> WELCOME TO MY WORLD :D > (Hey, are the new foobar packages done, how about the xwyz packages) > Thanks, > JOhnny Hughes When you snip the rest of my post man that last request sounds really bad on its own. Sorry guys. I saw the "uploading the new DVD's" a few days ago and thought I would ask. I really do not want to put anyone out and please do not go through any trouble on my account. I would rather be contributing rather than asking. Like I said I had already moved to Fedora for the P5KC and for the P5K-VM I have been trying to duplicate what Dave is doing. But I never know if I am doing it right or what else am I screwing up by rolling only new kernel rpms. Perhaps that is the kind of questions I should be asking rather than ask if things are ready. Can you get away with taking new kernels from kernel.org and making rpms out of them to use with Centos 5.0 without it effecting anything else or having to upgrade anything else? Thanks again. btw - like I said in email last week at the start of this thread you never hear from me but your efforts maintaining Centos are greatly appreciated. Since I have had stable servers and anything I need is usually already found here without even asking. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

FW: Logwatch for XXXXXXX.kd4efm.org (Linux)
by Evans F. Mitchell KD4EFM / AFA2TH / WQFK-894 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Found an error or two from my logwatch report from yesterday, thought I would share this in hopes this is just first time run of the problem I noticed in the Kernel report section... Also not sure why there's an issue with automount either.... but I guess I could ask on that issue as well. I am not worried about the NAMED error, this is something that happens due to one of the services that is installed on the box, as it is HAM RADIO related only. Any feedback? I will be looking for it... some items will be X'ed for protection reasons.

Wits end! ndis got me - give me sanity with my wireless!!!
by Bob Metelsky 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

All - desperate plea for help here. Overview Centos 4.5 Kernel 2.6.9.55.0.9.EL with source dell Latitude 810 Im totally at my wits end... Ive tried like mad to get ndiswrapper to work for my lynksys WPC54GS wireless card. No matter what I try ndis gives some kind of error on installing the module after about a dozen attempts 8 kernels, and 5 days- I finally GAVE UP! unreal So, I install the http://www.linuxant.com/company/ ever$ion (im not above paying $20 to save me a few wasted days) this program dosnt have a problem detecting the card, making the lights blink, I cane see the access point using iwlist scan, I know precisely what the essid is, as well as the encryption key, BUT now.... the stupid thing cant get an ip form my dhcp server!! Please help - some kind of sanity check, Im ready to jump out the window!! ;) Im up for ANY solution, I can install kernel source.. ndis bla... I just need some thing that will work. At this point i have an incredibly low opinion of the developers of ndis - that shouldn't not release such stuff. Ive followed the dcs to the letter and either the kernal compile puked... or ndis chokes on some flyshit in a function.... unreal! Anyway I do have this working on the same laptop but I did it about a year ago and cnat find the 1.37 version of ndis. At tthis point ndis is just too picky Anyone??? Thnaks Bob

rsync bug with --relative and --delete fixed in CentOS5?
by Christian Volker 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Yohoo! I'm using rsnapshot-1.3.0-1.el5.rf (from DAG) and rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf (from CentOS5) together. Rsnapshot now starts every task with the "--relative" switch. Without this switch it will backup all subsequent folders (like /proc and so on) which isn't desired. So I can't omit the "--relative". But there was a bug for rsync prior to 2.6.9 that it won't delete files from the destination directory when "--relative" and "--delete" are used together. See at http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.9-NEWS for this. Now I figured out that this bug is fixed in FedoraCore5. See http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2007-February/msg001… .html The version there is rsync-2.6.9-1.FC5.1. In CentOS5 I have rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf Now my question is if this bug is fixed in CentOS5/ RHEL5? If not, is there something scheduled to fix it or should I build the rsync package from the source of the FC5 tree? Thanks!

TFTP server not working as expected when run from xinetd
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi All, I have a Trixbox server (CentOS derivative) from which our Cisco IP phones get their config files via TFTP. I have noticed that when I run the TFTP server via "service xinetd start", I am not able to get files via TFTP. I have tested it by doing a manual transfer via a TFTP client from another machine. When I try to run the TFTP service manually by doing "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l", I do not encounter any problem whatsoever? Any pointers regarding this issue? Do I have to enable anything else? Thanks. -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

self signed ssl cert on C5
by Tom Diehl 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi, Does anyone have a pointer to correct documantation for generating and installing a self signed ssl cert for use on httpd on a C-5 machine? The docs say to use genkey but AFAIK upstream rm'd crypto-utils from the distro and as such it is not available. I tried generating the cert on a C-4 machine using genkey and installing on the C-5 machine but I get the following error when I try to connect: [Thu Oct 25 12:48:03 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1770): OpenSSL: Write: SSLv3 read client certificate B [Thu Oct 25 12:48:03 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1789): OpenSSL: Exit: error in SSLv3 read client certificate B [Thu Oct 25 12:48:03 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1789): OpenSSL: Exit: error in SSLv3 read client certificate B [Thu Oct 25 12:48:03 2007] [info] [client 192.168.0.25] SSL library error 1 in handshake (server roadrunner.tntechs.com:443) [Thu Oct 25 12:48:03 2007] [info] SSL Library Error: 336105671 error:140890C7:SSL routines:func(137):reason(199) [Thu Oct 25 12:48:03 2007] [info] [client 192.168.0.25] Connection closed to child 0 with abortive shutdown (server roadrunner.tntechs.com:443) Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong here?

rolling your own kernel - guidelines?
by Florin Andrei 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Let's say I want to use a much newer kernel - even one from the future, such as the upcoming 2.6.24. :-) What would y'all smart folks do in this case, in order to avoid any possible nasty consequences? Would you import the config file from the original CentOS5 kernel into the new kernel, and let the kernel deal with the differences? I.e. have the old configuration as some sort of baseline that can be further tweaked. Or some other strategy? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Using raid 1 for rollback purposes
by James Olin Oden 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi All, For quite some time I've used raid 1 as a means of providing a rollback mechanism for an upgrade (which I learned from others long ago). So essentially, before an upgrade you split the mirrors and upgrade one side or the other. If your upgrade goes well you sync one way, if your upgrade does not you sync the other (much hand waving and chanting going on, as its more complicated than that, but that is the essence of the solution). Recently, I was asked to do the same thing but with a raid 1+0 solution. Its easy, enough to break the raid 1 volumes underneath, but then how do I use the broke off volumes to form the duplicate strip. Pictures may help. We start off looking like: /----------- Raid 0 Volume ----------\ | [disk 0]<---R 1--->[disk 2] | | | | [disk 1]<---R 1--->[disk 3] | \--------------------------------------------/ What we want to go to is: /--- Raid 0 ---\ /--- Raid 0 ---\ | [disk 0] | | [disk 2] | | | | | | [disk 1] | | [disk 3] | \-----------------/ \------------------/ Old System New System Is this possible with the current set of mdadm tools? Thanks...james

DNS CNAME question

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question (and if so, please point me to a better listserv), but is there anything "wrong" RFC or best practice wise with pointing a CNAME record to a DNS server? (I'm using EveryDNS.net, and I'd like to make my CNAME records ns1-> 4.myDomain.com correspond to ns1->ns4.EveryDNS.net.)

Cronjob script with date stamp?
by Scott Ehrlich 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I have a cron job that calls a shell script - the script invokes dump. I'd like to do two things: - Have the script dump the results of the job to a text file. I tried this with /path/to/dump my switches -v >> /home/me/dump.log But that just produced an empty file. - Have the dump file be date-stamped with the date it was executed. Right now, I manually edit the script to change the filename to the date the dump will be taken. To get a differential dump, would I have dump produce its output to the same file each time? I would not want to overwright the existing contents. I'm currently dumping to a file on an external hard drive, but will eventually go to tape. Thanks for feedback. Scott

Migrate CentOS 3 to 4 to 5?
by David Christopher Zentgraf 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, After the previous debacle with PHP and MySQL it has been decided that we think about an upgrade from CentOS 3 to 5, since that would solve our problem, if successful. I tried finding information on how to best attempt this, but thanks to a plethora of contradictory information my head is now spinning with a few rpm (rounds per minute). The situation is as follows: Remote box at our host who offers CentOS 3 as the most up-to-date OS, unless you pay them an unholy amount of money for RHEL or Windows licences. Popping in a CD for an upgrade does not work for us. We can and will have the OS restored to a clean post-install state prior to updating. I have little intimate knowledge with CentOS, RPMs or yum, but general good UNIX experience. I know "live" yum migrations are greatly discouraged, but it seems to work for people. The most detailed instructions I seemed to be able to find are here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=382 Can anybody confirm this to work, is there anything else that's implied but not spelled out? Another, differing approach seems to be this: http:// levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/software/tc1000/rmredhat.htm Any ideas about it? Any hints, or rather detailed steps, would be greatly appreciated. Chrs, Dav

dovecot fails to start at boot, but starts manually
by Kenneth Porter 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 on CentOS 5 I reboot the server and dovecot fails to start. But I can then issue "service dovecot start" and it starts up just fine. How to debug? I don't see anything in /var/log/messages nor /var/log/maillog. I did have to set SELinux to permissive (in /etc/selinux/config), as dovecot can't get at its SSL certs. I'm debugging that independently. (SELinux is also disabled for clamav, another item to debug.)

VMware not correctly configured for running kernel
by Rogelio 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Something happened over the weekend power-related on my VMware test server, and when I came back and restarted my VMware server box (running CentOS), I got the following message: "VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl." I ran that .pl script, answered all the questions (just entering in the default values), and all seems to work ok now. Is this someting VMware related? CentOS 4 related? Or possibly some misconfiguration on my part? This box has been working fine for months (and has been rebooted many times), so I'm not sure what "changed" (certainly nothing on the host OS level). Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

yum update question and kernel-smp-devel
by James Pearson 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I have a local yum repository for CentOS4, and from time to time I add new (custom) kernel RPMS. However, when I run 'yum update' on an SMP box, yum 'installs' the new kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-smp packages, but 'updates' the kernel-smp-devel package. i.e. I end up with multiple versions of the kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-smp packages, but only the latest kernel-smp-devel What do I need to do to get the kernel-smp-devel RPMS to 'install' instead of 'update'? Thanks James Pearson

Quota inside chroot environment
by David E. Meier 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi List, I have users chroot'ed on a CentOS 5 server. They should be able to check their current disk usage with the quota command. Basically, it works - however, there are some drawbacks I hope someone can help me on: In order for the user to access the aquota.user file I hard-linked it into the users root. Unfortunately the users do not 'see' any changes in disk usage until quotaoff/on is executed. I have a FreeBSD 5.3 server with the same setup where this step is not required. I also noticed while quota is enabled I cannot even create the hard link on the aquota.user file into a users root. Can someone explain what's wrong about my setup or does anyone have another approach to get quotas working for chroot'ed users? David

Centos 5 on Large Disks.
by Anup Shukla 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi All, Sorry if this has been answered many times. But i have been going through a lot of pages (via google search). The more i search, the more its confusing me. I have a server with 6 (750G each) SATA disks with H/W Raid 5. I plan to allocate the space as follows swap 8G /boot 100M / 20G -- and remaining space to /data{1,2,3,N} (equal sizes) However after the installation and reboot, i got an error about bad partition for /data8 I had hit the 2T limit. Then i found this page at http://www.knowplace.org/pages/howtos/linux_large_filesystems_support.php which speaks of using Parted/LVM2 and XFS. If i understand this correctly, I need to have 1 disk to host the CentOS installation. And i can use the other 5 disks in a RAID array (label type gpt...) Is it not possible to partition and use the existing RAID 5 volume? I really am not sure about how to proceed for this big disk problem. Any ideas/links will really help. Thank you. Regards, A.S
