I used authconfig to set the connection parameters on the Linux box to authenticate against the domain controllers using winbind. The detailed instructions can be found online here: http://www.redmondmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=858 This recipe sets up the Linux station to use active directory as the authentication system and so our users can login on the station as brockley\username and use their domain password without problem. Users can also see all of the machines on the domain from within Nautilus but when they click on a machine to see its shares then they get a permissions error. Apparently their windows credentials are not supplied to nautilus and the access mode set on the windows NTFS5 is equivalent to " root:root rwx------- " I would like to avoid having to statically mount the shares with explicitly assigned credentials but I cannot find any documentation on how to configure nautilus or CentOS to use the login credentials to access available network shares dynamically. I suspect that this problem needs to be solved on the windows side of thing and I am presently reviewing the documentation at: http://ca.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/AccessControls.ht… To see if I can figure this stuff out sufficiently to get the domain shares visible to ordinary users of the Linux station. I have also read through the Microsoft documentation on sfu but I find it incredibly dense going. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/sfu3perm.mspx Regards, Jim -- James B.

MD5/Checksums for debug files?
by William L. Maltby 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Being new at distro SOPs, I don't know if this is an unusual thought. With a kernel debug package (or any such debug package) would it be prudent in todays world to have a checksum or signature process to assure the downloaded file is untampered with and complete? What prompts this is I just downloaded the kernel packages that Johnny put up. I had not realized they were so large and thought "TG I'm not on dial-up anymore". Anyway, thought I would raise the question. TIA -- Bill

Jpackage tomcat55-common-lib requires eclipse-ecj >= 0:3.1.1
by Will McDonald 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Guys, I'm running into a dependecy issue running through the process of building a system for Openbravo. My test system's running CentOS 4.4, i386. Openbravo requires... - Jakarta-Tomcat version 5.5. It can be downloaded from http://tomcat.apache.org/ - Java (TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. It can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp - Oracle(r) 10g database release 2. It can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com - Apache-ant 1.6. It can be downloaded from http://ant.apache.org/ So far (see attached text file for rough documentation of build sequence) I've built Java and JTA successfully. When I try to install tomcat55 it results in... "Error: Missing Dependency: eclipse-ecj >= 0:3.1.1 is needed by package tomcat55-common-lib" Jpackage 1.6 only has eclipse-3.0.2 as far as I can see. So, my question, is there a preferred or authoratative source for packaging/or a prepackaged Eclipse that'll fulfil my requirements? I've searched around and found mention of Jason Corley 's SRPMs http://www.zarb.org/~jasonc/repo/ from https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/jpackage-discuss/2006-June/010098.html, I'll have a play with those now. Do I need to switch to 1.7 to fulfil these requirements? Any suggestions or best-practices greatfully received. Cheers, Will

CentOs 4.X and APF firewall issues
by Steph 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, We have 7 Dell 2850 servers with dual xeon 3 gig processors running the APF firewall version 0.9.6 http://rfxnetworks.com/apf.php They run fine for a day or two, then suddenly lock out all incoming connections, other than the backend IP, sometimes restarting the firewall resolves this, but occasionally we may have to leave it 10 mins or so before restarting where it will actually allow connections again. Has anyone had this issue themselves, or does anyone successfully running Cent0s 4.X with the 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel have a sample /etc/apf/config.apf I could take a look at? Thanks in advance Stephanie Royle.

Pix Firewall Monitoring Software on Linux
by ankush grover 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

hey friends, I am looking for a free open source software (web based or application) through which I can monitor the Pix Firewall. What it should show Interface status or traffic , VPN Connectivity status, CPU Status, Memory Status etc. I am also running DHCP server on Pix Firewall (due to some reasons) If it can monitor that also means showing how many IPAddresses has been assigned, to whom, what is the lease time etc. then it will be very good. I know about cacti but for VPN Connectivity status one has to use telnet which I don't want to use and I don't know about monitoring DHCP server through it. Is there any other tool through which I can monitor Pix Firewaall ? I am using Centos4.0 Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs: OK with CentOS ?
by Rob 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, >From a friend I got a Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs. Also he gave me the CentOS-Alpha installation CDs. The CDs are probably recent, but I'm not sure; they have following kernels in the RPMS directory: kernel-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80.alpha.rpm (Is this then an up-to-date installation CD set?). My main question is: can I install CentOS on this system with these CDs, and will it install "out-of-the-box"? Main concern is the 4 CPUs in this system. Will the kernel-smp RPM automagically activate and use all 4 CPUs? This is the first time for me to install on an Alpha system. Any help on this respect is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Slightly OT: Cron for Logrotate and Squid
by karl＠klxsystems.net 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Howdy list, Hey does anyone know what the best cron job is to call logrotate to run the squid logrotations? -Or the subscribe address for a squid or logrotate mailing list (can't seem to find anything other than the usual MARC archives). I have this in /etc/logrotate.conf # rotate log files daily, they get too big otherwise, another story. daily # keep 8 weeks worth of backlogs e.g. 60 days rotate 8 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # No way, don't compress on a busy cache box, too much load. #compress # Rotate logs for specific daemons here: include /etc/logrotate.d ############################################## I have this in /etc/logrotate.d/squid /var/log/squid/access.log { daily rotate 60 copytruncate #compress notifempty missingok # same for the other two squid logs # This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own. # Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth # doing it just to rotate logs postrotate /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate endscript } ################################################ and it's been suggested to do this in Cron, but it *does not* look right and is the part i'm most concerned about, I drew it slightly out of context from here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/faq.html It's the rm -f statement I worry about. #SQUID - logrotate 01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0 #################################################################### Basically don't want to restart the squid daemon on my cache servers because it's just too too nasty of a proposition. Any suggestions for the proper way to call logrotate from Cron with regard to squid in particular? -karl

RE: [CentOS] Missing dependencies

Todd, From my experience I can bet that there is only one or two packages which are source of all problems. a) Try to upgrade yum first. b) try to remove and install again php (copy config files if you have edit them) You can also force upgrade, but that's not recommended (perhaps there is major reason why you have that problems) >> And how do you think it got so out of date?

Crontab not working....
by Ian mu 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Hiya all, just found an odd one on one of our boxes, cron isnt working (for a user anyway, but can't seem to get it running properly at all), i.e if I do a crontab -e as a user (who is in /var/spool/cron) and add 19 10 * * * /bin/touch /home/logadmin/testfile (has permission) its never created. Also I get no mails from cron to /var/spool/mail/root so guessing maybe cron not working at all, can't find any errors in logfiles relating to it either. ps -ef shows crond running however, have tried restarting it via service crond restart which shows fine in logs as started Not sure what else to check? Any ideas much appreciated, Ian

vmware running with socket 939 and AMD

Now this is getting exciting! Well, ya,I'm running vmware in 2 boxes. I am hoping this might help someone w/the config that follows: socket 939 mb AMD 3200+ clawhammer 1. do: # uname -r returns: 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL (CentOS 4.4 stock kernel) 2. edit /boot/grub/grub.conf: make the vmlinuz line look like: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb clock=pit quiet "clock=pit" is added. those are the only tweaks I did to produce a stable clock and get rid of that repeating kb problem. I made these tweaks 2 days ago (Sun). Monitoring it yesterday I never seen the time off more than 1 minute. but I didn't do any thing on that box yesterday. This morning I just changed the user back to rado and testing the key repeat issue right now. thx Les and Aleksandar for y'alls suggestions. John Rose

Hi all, I'm trying to setup this scenario on NFS and autofs on Centos 4.3: - useradd nfstest on an NFS server (192.168.1.247) - Setting up this NFS server /etc/exports: /home/nfstest 192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_root_squash) - useradd nfstest on a client machine (192.168.1.252) - make sure that the uid and gid are the same on the server and the client - setting up /etc/auto.master: /home/nfstest /etc/auto.nfs --timeout=60 - setting up /etc/auto.nfs: * -rw,soft,intr 192.168.1.247:/home/& - Restarting portmap, nfs, nfslock on the server - Restarting autofs on the client - showmount -e localhost: /home/nfstest 192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0 - Try to logon using username on the client: nfstest But I've got this error: automount[5937]: >> mount: 192.168.1.247:/home/.bash_profile failed, reason given by server: Permission denied automount[5937]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure 192.168.1.247:/home/.bash_profile on /home/nfstest/.bash_profile automount[5937]: failed to mount /home/nfstest/.bash_profile automount[5939]: >> mount: 192.168.1.247:/home/.bash_login failed, reason given by server: Permission denied automount[5939]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure 192.168.1.247:/home/.bash_login on /home/nfstest/.bash_login automount[5939]: failed to mount /home/nfstest/.bash_login automount[5941]: >> mount: 192.168.1.247:/home/.profile failed, reason given by server: Permission denied And on the login screen shows only this: -bash-3.00$ Oh by the way, firewall is off.

That will give me a more definitive answer. The problem does sound external to the disks. Someone else suggested the power supply. I wouldn't suspect both cables to have problems, so that's probably not an issue. The controller is on the MB and I REALLY don't want to have to tear the machine apart to replace it. The errors have stopped for now. No more errors in the past four hours. At the moment all I can do is keep monitoring it. -- Bowie

There are many ways to fix it, but IMHO the simplest one is to backup config, remove php-mysql, then yum update, and yum install php-mysql. It should be fine.

2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp
by Steph 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, I currently have a few CentOs 4.X servers running the latest stock 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel. I notice kernel.org are now up to version 2.6.18 and many people are using the 2.6.17.11 Does anyone have any opinions with regards to the 17.11 and .18 kernels? I'm led to believe the latest centos stock kernels are the same anyway as are the backported Redhat ones. I'd be interested to read other peoples take on this, I note CentOs do not advocate anything other than the yum release and I was advised in the CentOs IRC channel to use the recommended version. I also do not want to end up constantly updating insecure kernels, although unfortunately there are always going to be vulnerabilities posted I'd like to minimize maintenance. Thanks Stephanie

Problem installing Centos on laptop
by Mace Eliason 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, I have been trying to install Centos 4.4 on my laptop with no success. I have just purchased a new Acer 5100 laptop with AMD Turion 64x2 1Gig ram 120Gig HD. I have tried the 64bit and the 32 bit versions but have the same problem with both of them. I can do the complete install but when the computer reboot it will hang on the hardware detection on the network right after where it says Centos 4.4 final. I have let it sit for about 20min and it won't pass that point. I have also tried Fedora code 5 with the same results. Ubuntu 6.06.1 64 bit installs and works fine but will lock up randomly and requires a hard reboot. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks Scandog

Bullet proof cron job???
by Ted Miller 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

I have a cron job that runs once a day. There are times when it runs that it disrupts other things on the computer, so I want to kill it. Under Mandriva I had no problems killing the process, and that was the end of that. Under Centos I cannot kill it with a sig 15 or a sig 9. Tonight the process would have trashed hours of work, so after spending two minutes as root trying to kill the process, I ended up killing the entire tree, including crond. Linux is supposed to allow CONTROL of things like this without rebooting, etc, so why can't I kill the process without killing crond? Ted Miller

Need advice please
by Phil Savoie 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

Hi All, I have a system running (home based) Centos latest fully patched, etc that is acting as quasi mail server dhcp and name server. My question deals with mail. This is how it is currently set up. Because I travel for work weeks on end, I have fetchmail on my mail server, set up to poll my isp and download all my mail from work and personal isp. In this way my mail queues at work and personal isp are not piling up. I then use (at home and away) my own email client (kmail) to pop my home server for mail through an ssh tunnel. Does anyone know of a way that I can somehow combine some kind of spam filtering in conjunction with fetchmail on my home mail server so that when I pop it only the spam free email returns to my client? I know that kmail also filters out spam but I would also like a crack at getting some of the spam cleaned out at my mail server end as well. Thanks for your help with this, Phil

eAccelerator RPM for php5
by John Thomas 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Does anybody know where I can find an RPM of eAccelerator for the php 5.0.4-5 in CentOS Plus REPO? RPMFORGE has an eAccelerator rpm, but for php4. If not, is there an easy/better way to provide php speed up with php5.0.4-5? If not, would it be possible for a rookie, like me, to build an RPM from source? I might take a run at that as a last resort? Any simple howto links would be appreciated (I found and am exploring the ones at wiki.centos.org) Thanks to the CENTOS developers and affiliates for the great software. JT

That worked fine. After the postfix upgrade, this stopped working. The target the error, I removed the smtp:mail.backupdomain.com entry from the mysql table and also removed the MX entry for the backupdomain, which I was told, could cause problems as well. It still says: mail for backupdomain.com loops back to myself. So, I am wondering, where postfix gets this information from? Can you give me some further advise? thx, thorsten.

The system booted just fine but I noticed something odd. In /boot, System.map and vmlinuz are still pointing to the custom kernel, not the centosplus kernel. Should I manually correct the symlinks?

Tyan K8HM and lm_sensors
by Bowie Bailey 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

I have a Tyan Thunder K8HM (S3892) motherboard and I am trying to get lm_sensors to work with it. The problem is that I am getting conflicting information. The source for lm_sensors says not to compile the modules for the 2.6 kernel. The information from Tyan says that I need to compile the modules if my kernel is less than 2.6.12. Has anyone here configured lm_sensors for this motherboard? Any suggestions on whether it is safe to install the lm_sensors i2c-piix4 module in the 2.6.9 kernel?

Problem deleting an active route

I have tried using /sbin/route del -net xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx but get an error. I also have Webmin installed and I can delete the route from there, but on applying the network config, the route comes back. I have no idea where it is coming from. It is preventing me from getting out of the box to any other services. Any suggestions greatfully accepted! Thanks Dale
