Problem generating SSL certificates
by mbneto 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi, I am trying to generate client certificates (to use in internal web/email servers) but the process is aborting. I can generate the CA OK but when I try to generate the client... openssl ca -days 365 -out certs/xxxx.crt -in csr/xxx.csr -config ../tls/openssl.cnf Using configuration from ../tls/openssl.cnf Enter pass phrase for ../CA/private/cakey.pem: wrong number of fields on line 1 (looking for field 6, got 1, '' left) Any ideas? The openssl.cnf is the one that comes with the distro with the following modification: --- ../tls/openssl.cnf 2006-06-01 16:29:56.000000000 -0400 +++ ../tls/openssl.cnf.orig 2006-06-01 15:29:15.000000000 -0400 -dir = ../CA # Where everything is kept +dir = ../../CA # Where everything is kept Without the modification it simply complains about a missing file.

The hald daemon is the second largest consumer of CPU time on my CentOS v4.3 system. Is there a way to determine what it is spending all this time on? Thanks.

Back-leveling error?
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

This is all related to my struggles with Asterfax and libtiff. I rpm -U to libtiff 3.8.2 and I am still having troubles. So I decided to go back to libtiff 3.6.1 (oh and libtiff-devel that seems to be a prerec). So after a bit of playing that did not seem to do anything, I figured out to: rpm -U --oldprogram libtiff-3.6.1-8.i386.rpm libtiff-devel-3.6.1-8.i386.rpm and this seemed to work: rpm -q libtiff libtiff-3.6.1-8 But now things seem to be even more 'broken' if possible. Did I do the backleveling the right way? How do I check?

Conflict installing openssl.i386 with openssl.x86_64 on a x86_64 system
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi Everyone, I've got a system running CentOS 4 x86_64 and have some i386 packages (e.g. Firefox) installed, too. I knew when I started out that this wasn't ideal, but worked nonetheless. And, so far, it has. I'm (and my client) are happy! A couple of days ago I updated the server from U2 to U3 (it's not a public system, and runs some critical software...U3 couldn't go in right away). Everything appeared to be going well until it came time to install the updates, when yum barfed: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/asn1parse.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/nseq.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/s_client.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/s_server.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/sslpasswd.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 Looks like the x86_64 and i386 openssl packages install their man pages to the same location. I was able to complete the update after excluding openssl. I'm not sure how other packages handle this, but it looks like a bug. However, I found a mail list thread where Karanbir or Johnny (not sure which one) indicated that this had been fixed. Well, the update is not going in for me, so something is fubar. Anyone else dealing with this? Is there a workaround or fix I'm not aware of? I'd appreciate any pointers.

PCI-X Sata Raid Controller
by Bryan Shelton 22 Jun '06

Does anyone have any suggested PCI-X Sata Raid Controllers which are natively supported in Centos 4.3, the 2.6 kernel. I guess either with the new megaraid or aacraid drivers? Thanks for the help, Bryan Shelton

can't change login screen resolution
by Paul 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

After boot up, on the login screen, I can't seem to find how to change the resolution. I've have it set at one resolution after login for all users, but still, the login screen remains the same. It's a bit annoying because I get a warning message from my monitor of incorrect settings and sometimes it wacks out. I think the refresh rate is what is causing it. Thanks.

yum install nagios, adding dag repository
by karl＠klxsystems.net 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Hi, I'm running an Opteron 64 bit server, and in an effort to re-join it to my nagios monitoring, I have tried the install nagios via Yum. When I type: yum install nagios, or nagios-nrpe, or nagios-plugins, I get: "Nothing to do". as output. In wanting to add the DAG repository to my machine, the documentation i've come across seems vague. Can someone advise me on either of these issues? I have come across the following HOWTO, but it kind of jumps around a bit, and the if/else logic is too hard to decipher. http://www.maxsworld.org/?page_id=115 Any help is most appreciated... -karlski

The 2GB PC2700 ECC-Reg modules are cheaper than the DDR2 ECC-FB modules, but 16GB memory still accounts for almost half of the total cost of the server. I'm only populating it with 16GB to start with, but I want to leave myself some headroom to increase it if needed. > The other option is to go with Tyan.

Anyone know anything about them? Going with the dual Opteron 270 (2.0GHz) rather than the dual Xeon 5060 (3.2GHz) and the slightly cheaper RAM saves me about $320. > As an aside, 3ware now has a PCIe version (the 9590SE) in addition to > the PCI-X 9550.

Re: [CentOS] Appended 1 in fstab entries CentOS4.X installs
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Im not dual booting nor triple booting. CentOS is the only OS on the system. I have have to format and reload. I just select the partitions re-name them back to / or /boot etc..and select to format with ext3 patition type. I dont actually select each partition and delete them then re-create them. I have always done this even in centos3 and I never had the problem in centos3. Matter of fact I installed a true RHEL4 install and it does the same thing, also same result of RHEL3 as in centos3.

RFI: Information for Centos 4 unsupported kernels
by Kari Salovaara 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Hi, this may sound stupid, but; - I'd like to install unsupported x86/i386 smp kernel because I need some support (for eg. dual booting for r/w files for winXP) etc. I'm now using 4.3 latest smp kernel. (I've tested that x86 still runs better than x86_64 like I was told in January. Thanks for the advice.) Questions: Is there any documentation for how to install unsupported smp kernel so that'll be able to do normal updates (like I've been updating until now without features of unsupprted kernel) ? I've downloaded the kernel files (107), how should I install them (yes, I know how to install rpm files but; but for grub, for updating, for upgrading etc.) ? After updating kernel few times with normal updating processes there lies in grub many older kernel. Is there any process to delete them or do I have to do it manually ? If this is too boring to others or outside the topics of this mailing list, please reply straightly to me. For the CentOs Team many thanks of superb distro (used in many of our servers without any problems, and we'll have them more in near future). Regards, Kari -- Kari Salovaara Hanko, Finland

Sendmail, mailertable and DNS weirdness.
by Will McDonald 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Guys, I've had a weird problem with Sendmail misbehaving in a way I don't really understand. I've worked round the problem but I'd like to understand what was going on. The MX for one of our domains, blah.com, pointed at an internal Exchange server. Mail relayed to a Sendmail MailScanner which then delivered to Exchange for this domain. The domain expired leading to all its mail queueing in Sendmail. So far so sensible. While waiting for the domain to be renewed I setup a mailertable entry to bypass DNS and route mail directly to the Exchange server... blah.com smtp:[192.168.10.10] I rebuilt mailertable then tried flushing the queue with... sendmail -q -v -qRblah ... which resulted in a bunch of "Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery" errors due to DNS resolution failure. I thought mailertable entries bypassed DNS? Does Sendmail cache the state of the destination for queued messages somehow? In the qf${msgid} files in the spool? I tried restarting MailScanner (and hence both Sendmail processes), same problem. I read ( http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/op-sh-3.html ) that Sendmail can, when configured with HostStatusDirectory enabled, retain information on the status of hosts on disk but "sendmail -bh" returned nothing and "sendmail -bH", just in case, didn't help either. So, was mailertable being bypassed because these messages had already been attempted to be delivered before the mailertable changes? Anyone know what was going on here? I worked around it by just setting up a quick zone for blah.com with an MX in it but I'd like to understand WTF was going on with mailertable for future reference. Will.

Postpone/avoid swaping while there is still free RAM.
by Alexander Georgiev 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Hi people, I got Centos 4.3 on a 1GB Pentium IV machine. The output of free ------------------- $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1026896 573848 453048 0 2988 131712 -/+ buffers/cache: 439148 587748 Swap: 1052248 137568 914680 ------------------ There is plenty of free ram, but the kernel prefers to swap unused pages to disk. And later I have to wait for them to be unswapped, the Desktop looses its promptness - annoying. In win2k and winXP there is a registry key property which prevents swapping while there is still RAM. Do you know whether I can achieve the same in linux? Best regards! alex

Hi all, Up until today everything has been fine with CentOS on my Toshiba laptop. I booted into CentOS 4.3 today and Kudzu detected my video card for some reason. I let it configure it (wish I hadn't now). I can still get in. X and Gnome work. But the video resolution is 800x640. The LCD is capable of 1024x768. I cannot change it using Gnome tools or direct editing of /etc/X11/xorg.conf With the Gnome "Display" system tool I cannot change the monitor to "Generic LCD Display". Any help you can offer on getting the 1024x768 display mode to work again would be appreciated.

Routing w/ Two Interfaces
by Michael B Allen 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

I have two interfaces on a centos machine with IPs 192.168.2.15 and 192.168.3.15. The routing table is: # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The gateway 192.168.2.1 is a wireless router on which I have a static route for 192.168.3.0/24 to 192.168.2.15. The problem is I cannot communicate between these networks. If I ping from a machine on 192.168.2.0 to a machine on 192.168.3.0 it never makes it. If I run tcpdump -i eth0 on the machine with two nics, I can see the ICMP packets coming in so I know the static route on the wireless router is working. If I run tcpdump -i eth1 I cannot see the ICMP packets. So the routing is wrong. I can successfully ping the machine on the 192.168.3.0 network from the machine with two interfaces. I would think that a packet sent from 192.168.2.100 for 192.168.3.128 would go to the gateway, get sent to 192.168.2.15 which it would go though the above listed routing table, match 192.168.3.0 and get sent to eth1.

I am using mirrors from the site, like kernel.org. I have chosen low burning speeds also, but when I insert the ISO CD into a server and boot it up, the ISO doesn't work. I have all of the BIOs/boot settings perfect, the machine is definitely 64-bit, and even when I insert another OS, like Fedora, or Whitebox, it works fine. Is there something i'm not doing, or doing wrong when burning these 64 bit CD's? I'm in a colo facility and would really like to leave here having converted a bunch of my WBEL and FC boxes to 64-bit Centos. Any help would be much appreciated. -karlski

http://www.highpoint-tech.com/datasheets/RR2220%20datasheet_050430.pdf Anyone know if this is any good under Centos 4.3 ? I see there is a current RHEL 3 and 4 driver. Would that driver survive kernel upgrades, I'm guessing it would being modular ? (please don't tell me that 3ware is the only make to use, tw_cli is not exactly user friendly). Anyone using this - http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=RAID%20HBAs&p… Promise has never given me any joy under Linux. cheers

Most definitely! However I don't plan to write anything about it just now. I want to experiment with it. myslef a few people have been thinking about it for use on cluster head nodes. It may allow us to try various OS's without having to install a new distro. Plus we can do some things with running a stable base OS and then use Xen to run some experimental stuff. Jeff

Xen with Centos 4.3 - pointers?

Howdy, I'd like to play with Xen on top of a Centos 4.3 installation. I've been googling, but haven't found a nice comprehensive set of notes to get me started. I've looked at the XenSource site, a wiki site that tells you how to get CentOS working in a Xen shell (or whatever it's called). So, for a Xen newbie, does anyone have have any pointeds to notes, documentation, etc? TIA! Jeff

Tripwire for CentOS
by karl＠klxsystems.net 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Hi, I literally have about 36 machines running CentOS on a private network, and will probably change the remaining 30 or so away from Whitebox or RH in the near term. One thing I just noticed was when I tried to search out Tripwire RPM's, that none seemed evident. Can anyone point me in the direction of an Tripwire RPM that works with CentOS 4.3, or advise me on how to create one from the Tripwire source download on Sourceforge? -karlski

SCSI Raid

I hate to bring up the raid card wars again, but... :) It's pretty well established that 3ware is a good "real" hardware raid card for SATA drives. So what is a good card for SCSI raid? My searches have come up with Adaptec and LSI as the main players here. Are the LSI MegaRAID cards "real" hardware raid? Which cards can give good raid 5 performance? -- Bowie

Check integrity or rootkits on remote server?
by Marco Fioretti 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or USB drive in the machine? What if tripwire was never ran? Does it make sense, on a Centos system without physical access, to download there and run remotely one of those rootkit detection tools? Would its findings be surely accurate? Generally speaking, how does one handle these issues on remote systems? Thanks in advance for any comment, Marco

I'm having a terrible time trying to get the superodoctor software from super micro running.

rpm question
by Rob Watkin 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Hi everyone, I am writing a small tool that will compare a file on my machine with the the same file on an rpm repository and then give me a diff. E.g. # rpm-file-diff /etc/samba/smb.conf will show a diff output so that I can see at a glance what changes I have made to my local smb.conf file. I already know about rpmdiff but that compares whole packages and not files. Anyway while fiddling with this I have tried "rpm -qpi http://mirror....". Sometimes this works on my local mirror but mostly not (see below) and I have never had it to work on sunsite.org.uk. I know this seems really trivial but I'm worried that I don't understand what's wrong. Any opinions appreciated :-) Rob Watkin # On my local mirror # --------------------------------------------------------------- [root@dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://10.1.1.12/Centos4/mirrors/centos/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.1… Name : samba Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.0.10 Vendor: CentOS Release : 1.4E.6 Build Date: Wed 08 Mar 2006 13:59:28 GMT [snip] TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol. # 3 seconds later #---------------------------------------------------------------- [root@dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://10.1.1.12/Centos4/mirrors/centos/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.1… error: http://10.1.1.12/Centos4/mirrors/centos/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.1…: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 # Trying the public mirror #---------------------------------------------------------------- [root@dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/…. 0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm error: http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/… pm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 [root@dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/…. 0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm error: http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/… pm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 #----------------------------------------------------------------

Re: [CentOS] Restoring data from disk w/ messed up partition tables
by techlists＠comcast.net 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

As a follow up, I was able to find a *free* program to attempt to recover my lost data. (I can't find the name of the program in a quick search, if anyone's interested I'll check my system at home tonight and post it). The software was able to see the lost partitions, but there was a huge amount of CRC errors in trying to read the disk. So I suspect there was a failure of the physical drive itself, more than just mere corruption of the partition table. This was a drive that fell on the floor once, but seemed ok when I installed Centos on it, so I left it in the system. Maybe it was already weak, and the erratic electricity killed it for good. I was able to recover quite a bit of lost data, but a lot of it appears to be gone forever. This is a good reminder on the importance of keeping backups of important stuff.
