Anaconda Partial Freeze...
by semi linux 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hey, I'm trying to run a kickstart script on a new piece of hardware... I've never used this HW before, so it's possible that there may be something faulty... After the DVD boots, I type "linux ks=http://blah/blah.ks" and hit enter. Once I get to the anaconda line which says "running /sbin/loader", the machine sits in a frozen state for a long time (3-5 minutes)... anyone have any clue what's going on here? Or at least how to debug it? It's too early to switch tot he other terminals, so I'm a little lost. I've tired testing the RAM and reseating, etc... nothing seems to works. - G.

Logwatch for postfix
by Morten Torstensen 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

On CentOS5 with the latest updates applied, the logwatch filter for postfix returns way too many lines from the log. I get an "unmatched entries" message and all messages that have gone through the system is listed. Here is an example: 8F930A8092: to=<morten(a)foo.bar>, orig_to=<morten@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.19, delays=0.06/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail) I have tried to look at the logwatch config and some google hits on similar problems but on debian. The hints there does not match what is relevant for CentOS. Anyone seen this problem on CentOS or is it some specific problem to my configuration? I use fetchmail/postfix/dovecot/procmail locally on the server to consolidate mail. Could be that it tries to filter on some hostname/domain name? -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten(a)mortent.org //IM: Cartoon(a)jabber.no morten.torstensen(a)gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.

Buggy SATA detection w/CentOS5 + Intel H6300ESB?
by Chris Mauritz 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

I've been handed a Supermicro system that is using the Intel® H6300ESB Serial ATA Controller (Supermicro P4SCI motherboard). When I install CentOS5, everything seems to work OK, but it has absolutely horrid disk performance. Upon further inspection, it seems that the SATA disks are being treated as legacy IDE devices using PIO. Gah.... Has anyone else had this problem? I recall having similar problems last year sometime with some Supermicro systems, but I can't seem to remember how I fixed it. :-) Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Best,

change md uuid?
by Les Mikesell 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

I sometimes clone working machines by separating RAID1 mirrors and letting each re-sync with a new partner in different machines. What will happen if a mismatched pair of these drives ever end up together in the same machine? If there is any chance that they would automatically be paired, is there a way to change the uuid when moving to a new machine so that wouldn't happen? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

rootpw and graphical mode?
by semi linux 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Is there some kind of caveat to using the rootpw --iscrypted directive and then specifying a graphical install? I always seem to get the prompt coming up... If I remove the graphical and do a text install, it works fine and if I remove the --iscrypted and put a plain-text password in there, it works as well. Any suggestions? - G

Permissions question
by Todd Cary 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the permissions are 775. My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd". Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there is a directory under www (acutally called httpd), "viewpoint" that is owned by "apache" and is a member of the "viewpoint" group. "todd" is also a member of the "viewpoint" group. Now this is the problem I do not know how to correct: if "todd" using Samba creates a directory in "viewpoint", the owner and group is "todd" with 755 permissions. Now if the "viewpoint" user tries to write to the directory, he does not have adequate permissions. Maybe I have not setup the owners and groups correctly. maybe there is something I need to do with how Samba interacts with the server. Any suggestions will be appreciated...

X login screen fails on the first try
by Frank Cox 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

I set up a Centos 5 machine a couple of weeks ago and everything was working perfectly. It survived a few reboots and whatnot with no problem. I moved it to another location on Saturday afternoon and, again, it booted up and worked fine. It was rebooted this morning and now the graphical login screen doesn't appear. Everything appears to load normally but once the text login screen appears, that's it. No graphical login screen. If I log in at the text console and type startx I am told that X is already running. If I hit ctrl-alt-f7 at the text login screen I see a completely blank/black screen. If I then hit ctrl-alt-esc the graphical login screen comes up and everything works as it should. If I switch to runlevel 3 and log into the text console and type startx, my desktop shows up just as it should. There are no errors that I can see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Again, this all worked fine up until this morning and nothing changed. Today I rebooted it several times and I consistently get the behaviour detailed here. So, what could be going wrong and preventing the graphical login screen from loading? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Sound problems on envidia 6510 in Compaq SR5110NX
by Chuck Mattern 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I've go a Compaq Presario (SR5110NX) that I've loaded CentOS 5 on and all is well except for the sound card. I understand that OSS supports the chipset but it's not being detected an loaded properly and I've invested a significant amount of time already. I've probably got an old supported card lying around here somewhere but I hat to give up on the principal. I would rather not download the proprietary drivers as that will create a dependency when the kernel is upgraded and I'm shipping this off to a remote law office where I'd like them to be a little more self sufficient than having to have me log in and recompile each time they upgrade a kernel. Any experience or advise with this would be appreciated. Regards, Chuck

Centos5-live kernel panic?

I am fairly sure that I had gotten this to work before, and I know that the Centos4-live disk worked OK, but now (maybe since I upgraded BIOS) I get this sequence after booting the live cd: Creating /var in RAM ...

FYI CentOS-5, SElinux and OpenOffice-2.3
by James B. Byrne 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

I have installed OOo 2.3 on CentOS-5. Everything seems to work but I had to locate the item reproduced below. Since this is a vital modification I reproduce it here so that it gets a wider audience. FYI: OOo 2.3.0 and SELinux: "no suitable windowing system found, exiting." OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.3.0 is incompatible with the SELinux technology activated by default in Fedora 7, Fedora Core 6 (and older) and Red Hat Linux system (and, optionally, in other Linux-based systems): see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80816 for more information and current situation. Symptoms: * If OpenOffice.org is started from the GUI, it simply doesn't start. * If OpenOffice.org is started from the command line, the error message no suitable windowing system found, exiting. is displayed and OpenOffice.org exists immediately. The best resolution so far consists in setting the proper security context: execute (as root or with sudo privileges) # chcon -t textrel_shlib_t libvclplug_gen680li.so.1.1 in the program directory in your OOo installation. A more radical resolution is disabling SELinux altogether (requires root/sudo privileges): * Command line (as root): # setenforce 0 * GUI: System -> Administration -> Firewall and SELinux -> set "Permissive" mode. Note that, with the default configuration, SELinux will be restored in "Enforcing" mode upon reboot or instalaltion of a new kernel if you change it via the command-line utility.

Hello! I just joined this mailing list a couple of minutes ago. I'll start to use CentOS for academic purposes. We'll try to build a cluster based in machines with this OS. First of all, I'd like to beg you for patience, because I'm comple- tly new in Linux. My first question is: every tutorial on installation talks about inserting an installation CD, but I'm not sure about what do it means... I've downloaded the four files .iso availabe in CentOS.org, but I don't know what to do with them. Should I burn this files into de CD the way they are? Should I unzip them before this? Details: I'm using Windows, trying to install CentOS 4 in a 32 bit's PC. I've downloaded CentOS-4.5-i386-bin.......iso. Thank you for any help! ~ J.

Dear Yagi-san, > I heard from the horse's mouth that the CentOS team is working on the > 100Hz centosplus kernel. I think your request triggered the action :-) > They want make people happy. That sounds nice! This TIPS, CONFIG_HZ=100, is one of FAQs. It will make most of us happy. Now we can get kernel-vm package on dev.centos.org. Is it a test release of the special kernel? I installed the kernel-vm. Its change-log shows HZ=100. And the kernel seems better for clock interval on VMWare. Thanks a lot. Yuji

Unable to boot xen dom0 on IBM System x3250
by Pat and Lori Boyer 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

I have an IBM System x 3250 that successfully boots using the standard kernel (2.6.18-8.1.10.el5) but fails to boot with the xen kernel. The kernel appears to fail when it attempts to initialize the driver for the onboard SAS controller (LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS). Can anyone provide any advice? Here's the relevant info. Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

by chitgoks 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

hi , our centos os has an ext3 file system. and i cant create any more directories, it gives me a too many links error, even when doing a manual mkdir. is there any workaround for this? without changing it to a different file system like reiserFS? we dont have a reiserfs module in the os so it will have to be installed. and can it be possible to install a reiserFS without having to reformat the os? just mount it after installing? please advise

hostname not being picked up by DHCP
by Denis 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi - I am using the CentOS v5 desktop installation and am setting up a new lab for our engineering department. Initially I computers got their IP addresses and computer names from the DHCP process and the computer were getting the info from the dynamic pool. These name would be d-23-76.mnsu.edu, where the d stood for dynamic and 23-76 refered the IP address of xx.xx.23.76. The computer hostname would show up as d-23-76. I did not want the computers to get different IP address so I put the computers onto our DHCP table as manual DHCP clients by assigning a name and mac address to an IP address. Now the computers get the correct IP address but the hostname is localhost. How can I get the correct name for hostname from DHCP? -- Denis Becker Information Technology - Engineering MN State Univ., Mankato Mankato, MN ph: 507-389-5617 fx: 507-389-5002

glibc errors related to nss_ldap or pam_ldap?
by Bjorn Oglefjorn 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I am trying to track down the cause of some errors that have been occurring on a number of our servers using LDAP. We have noticed that when a certain LDAP group exceeds 65 users we begin seeing glibc errors for users in the group. Users that are not in the group do not exhibit this behavior. We have seen this issue on machines running Centos 4.5 x86 & x86_64 with glibc-2.3.4-2.36 and RH4 x86_64 running glibc-2.3.4-2.25. We are running Fedora Directory Server 1.0.4 on Centos 4.5. We have added a 3rd FDS slave and turned up debugging but have not seen anything that appears to be relevant in the logs on the 3rd slave. This problem is not a 65 user limit as we have other groups with well over 65 members that do not display this behavior. We also created a new group with identical users and it did not display this problem. 1) With 66 users in the massweb group [root@megalon ~]# getent group massweb *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x09a225b0 *** Aborted 2) After removing any user from the massweb group to reduce the total members to 65 [root@megalon ~]# getent group massweb massweb:x:3016:afaxon,ashairza,ccrump,jhorowit,mmarum,morendai,usmall,adroffne,afaxon,amurphre,aoliver,ayellipe,bdonohue,bdunn,beckert,blarsen,bwphilli,catanis,ccrump,chaynes,clyons,cwong,dbarber,dmuse,dnicol,edougher,egallant,ekubosia,evizcain,feeddrop,gtulonen,halokush,hbraverm,jbartus,jbrown,jhobbs,jking,jlederma,jpecora,jthayer,kbalbedi,kbeam,kginn,mbuonfig,mcrawfor,mlarsen,mlong,mwalsh,osedano,proche,prondeau,pweinber,rhorriga,rkersey,rskutins,sasaro,sbrodeur,sculver,smoriart,support,swestenh,tbaltimo,torgelfi,usmall,vvalenti Has anyone encountered a similar problem with nss_ldap or pam_ldap?

CentOS-5 - Suffering from LDAP experimentation
by James B. Byrne 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I was playing aeound with the GUI authentication configuration and was called away from my desk after I had configured the LDAP DC entries but before I had tried to start the ldap server or do much of anything else. When I returned the terminal session was screen-saver locked and entering my user password did not make it respond. I kept getting a time-out error. Rebooting took forever and was delayed for long periods at two points that I do not recall as being problems before; Loading IPtablesv6? and Starting system message bus. More importantly the user GUI takes forever to start. I am seeing these entries in the /var/log/merssages filr (vis ssh login through another system.): Sep 27 15:37:13 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server Sep 27 15:37:13 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... Sep 27 15:37:21 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server ...

This is a rtestbox aso a re-install is not out of the question. I am digest subscriber so if you could copy me directly on any reply to the list I would be very appreciative.

Waking up X
by semi linux 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I just finished installing CentOS 5 (again)... and I'm having trouble with my X config (I _think_). If I 'startx' then switch to a console (using CTRL+ALT+F*) and then back to X (CTRL+ALT+F7), 1/2 the time it comes back, the other half I get a black screen and I can never recover the session. X is still running (CTRL+ALT+Backspace kills it) but there seems to be some type of power saving or screensaver that kicks in and won't let the session restore... Any hints on where to look? The X logs don't _seem_ to show anything... - G.

Intrusion Detection Systems
by John Hinton 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Situation: We are providing hosting services. I've grown tired of the various kiddie scripts/dictionary attacks on various services. The latest has been against vsftpd, on systems that I can't easily control vs. putting strict limits on ssh. We simply have too many users entering from too many networks many with dynamic IP addresses. Enter.... thinking about LIDS or Log Based Intrusion Detection. I've run across four systems. Blockhosts, DenyHosts, fail2ban and OSSEC. DenyHosts apparently only works with ssh, so I've discounted using that. Is anyone using one of these or something else that I've missed. At present, I'm leaning towards OSSEC for several reasons. First it seems very robust. Second, you can set up a server/client structure, so only one machine acts as the server and all the others present data to it so that it can share with the entire system. The author seems to have considered some of the basic problems of log based systems and addressed those. There does seem to be flexibility among these three systems in having the ability to monitor just about any log system and take action based on failed logins for instance. So, whats the word from the list? Pros cons or other directions? Thanks, John Hinton

SOLUTION: How to use a custom icon for the Main Menu on the panel
by Frank Cox 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

After much head-scratching I finally figured out how to get a custom icon for the Main Menu on the panel. For the benefit of anyone else who wants a custom icon: yum install gconf-editor Run gconf-editor and go to apps - panel - objects The main menu is one of the "object_0", "object_1" items. Just go through them until you find the one that is the Main Menu. Put a checkmark in the "Use custom icon" box. Right-click on the "custom icon" entry (a few lines up from "use custom icon"), select "edit key" and enter the path to the icon you want to use. That's all there is to it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Central file server advice please
by John Bowden 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Hi List I have a Gygabyte GA-7N400 PRO2 with a 2.6 mHz Athlon cpu. I want to set up a central file storage for 2/3 users using 6/7 machines. A mixture of win2k, XP and various Linux distros (my home network). It will be used to store files, (docs, music and DVD ) for all of these machines, print server, (two ink-jets), mail server and later on a myth tv set up. Would SAMBA be the best option for the file and print serving ? The mother board has 2 X IDE channels, 2 X IDE channels with raid and 2 X SATA raid channels, that's up to 10 hard drive devices. The IDE raid chip is a GigaRaid IT8212F chipset. It supports raid 0 or raid 1 and raid 0 + 1 and JBOD. The SATA raid is a Silicon Image Sil3512. It supports Raid 0 or 1. Would I get better speed performance using the chips to manage the raid or using software raid? Oh and I will be using the CentOS 5 install dvd. Any advice from the list would be appreciated.

OpenSSH multiple private key question
by Von Landfried 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I am using CentOS 4.5 with OpenSSH_3.9p1 and I am curious if anyone has a solution for this scenario. I have several pub/priv keys that I use for various tasks/reasons. My issue is that I want to have 2 private keys stored in ~/.ssh/ and I am not sure the best way to accomplish that. Currently I am using ssh-agent, and it works fine for manually performing tasks. I was curious if there is a simple way to have multiple private keys stored in the same ~/.ssh/ directory without using ssh-agent? Thanks for reading. -Von
