Yum updates vs current packages
by Bowie Bailey 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Sorry if the subject is a bit vague. I wasn't sure how to summarize this. I am building a new server (CentOS4.2) and I am trying to stay with RPM installs as much as possible. The problem is with packages that I would like to keep more up to date than allowed by the repositories. This will be a mailserver doing spam and virus checking. As such, I want SpamAssassin and ClamAV to be as up-to-date as possible. The current rpm for ClamAV is 6 months and 3 releases behind. What is the best way to keep these packages up to date while avoiding dependency issues in yum? -- Bowie

Anyone running VMWARE server on CentOS?
by WipeOut 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hi, I guess the subject says it all.. I am thinking about combining a few servers onto a single server since they mostly do nothing much at all which would mean there would be less load on the UPS and a lot less noise in my office.. Since VMWare server is now free its probably the perfect time to do it.. The only issue is getting the VMWare up and running.. I would prefer to run it on CentOS as the host OS but if it means recompiling half the system and not being able to use standard updates then it will probably just be a pain.. Has anyone set this up on CentOS yet and if so what did you have to do to get it running? Thanks

Centos on a Thumb drive
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Here are 2 different 4Gb USB drives. Flash memory: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail~dpno~339754.asp $143 Mini Drive: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail~dpno~306189.asp $80 How does one load Centos on these? Can you boot from CD, point to an FTP server for OS, and install on the USB drive, eventhough the system has its own harddrive? Does the install have to be for a specific system? Of course right now, I only have one USB bootable laptop. Oh, and ecost is one of the best places to get things like SD memory. Watch their budget countdown...

by ankush grover 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

hey friends, I am using cacti cacti-0.8.6-1.2 on Centos 4.0. I want to monitor my network through cacti, I have few windows and linux clients in my network. I have created a device or a host for Linux. I am able to get most of the information except Available Disk Space "Unix Available Disk Space". The client is Fedora Core 3 and the system on which cacti is running is Centos 4.0. Moreover I am not able to monitor the Windows XP Clients.The snmp is running on the Windows XP PRO SP2 but the cacti shows "SNMP Error" I am selecting Windows 2000/XP host and snmp version 1 with community string as "public". Please let me know if you need any further inputs. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

mkdir -p <list of dirs to create> ________________________________ From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Data Control Systems - Mike Elkevizth Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 4:44 PM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS] mkdir Fail when creating multiple directories Hi, I use the program Unison to synchronize two servers and have been having a problem recently with errors saying mkdir failed. The program tries to make backup copies of any file it is going to overwrite before it actually does the sync. The backups have been failing because of the mkdir failure. To try and find the problem, I logged in as root and then tried the same command that unison was trying and it failed for me also. I can't seem to get mkdir to create more than one directory at a time which is a real problem for unison, because sometimes the file to be backed up is 5 or 6 directories deep.

ports appear as filtered to internal network
by Roger D Vargas 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Im developing an online game. After upgrading from Fedora to Centos 4.2 I noticed I no longer can connect to the server when the client is running outside the Centos PC. Making an udp scan from my internal network with nmap revealed that the port used by game server application appears as "filtered". In my firewall script I have a rule to allow all trafic in the internal interface, so, I dont know why does the port appears as filtered. How can i solve this? -- Roger D.

OT Proftpd stopped authenication for users
by Ed Morrison 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

For some reason proftpd stopped authentication for users. Anonymous access still works but when someone tries to access the server via their login it no longer authenticates them. I recently ran yum where proftpd was updated (that said, I'm not sure that caused the problem). I uninstalled the new version and and installed a prior version with no change. Below is a look at my config, a debug cut and paste and the current version I am running. This is a production server with a loss of revenue generation for the company and is imperitive that I get resolved asap. Any help would be appreciated! * Proftpd Conf:* # # This is the ProFTPD configuration file # $Id: proftpd.conf,v 1.1 2004/02/26 17:54:30 thias Exp $ ServerName "ProFTPD server" ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."

installing on HP DV5000 64 bit
by mrrs 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Has anyone managed to install CentOS 4.2 on an HP dv5000 64 bit laptop? I boot from the install cd, and all of the options I have tried ( return, linux text, linux noprobe, linux lowres ) have had the same result: some text scrolls by really fast ( looks like the start of the install), then the screen goes blank with no activity of any kind. The processor is the turion 64, and it has ATI video. The odd thing is, I was actually able to boot knoppix 4.0 to repartition it for dual boot any ideas would be greatly appreciated. markus __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Serious desktop/mouse problem in Gnome
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

I have just gone through a java install. Don't know it that is the cause or just someother freeky thing. My mouse is in total run-away mode. Just touch it and it goes all over the place. Things start dropping and draging. The system bar is on the top now and the action bar on the side. If I manage to get a terminal window open and leave the mouse alone, I can type. Also <alt-cnlt-F1> gets me to display 1. If I go back to display 0, everything is still hosed. Any pointers? Some mouse file out of align and too sensitive? How I fix this and reset things?

Install Guide for PostFix (with DoveCot, SquirrelMail, MailScanner, ClamAV) on CentOS-4
by Johnny Hughes 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Ok, I have been working (for quite a while) on an install guide for PostFix (with DoveCot, SquirrelMail, MailScanner, ClamAV) on CentOS-4. A full install is part 1 (Postfix / Dovecot / Cyrus-Sasl), Part 3 (SquirrelMail) and Part 4 (MailScanner, Spam Assassin, ClamAV). I am still working on Part 2 (Postfix / Cyrus-Imap / Cyrus-Sasl). It will go with Part 3 and Part 4 (same as above) to get a full install that includes Cyrus-Imapd instead of dovecot ... should be done with this one in the next couple days. So to reiterate, Part 1,3,4 is a full postfix/dovecot install ... it is done and ready to go. Parts 2,3,4 is a full postfix/cyrus-imapd install ... this one is not quite done yet. Part 1 is here: http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/40/2/Site_News Thanks Johnny Hughes

How does /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/ work?
by Bart Schaefer 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

I have two routers for different subnets and I'd like to set up different eth0 configurations depending on which one I have the network plugged into. However, it seems that every time I let system-config-network do its thing it forces all the eth0 configurations to be the same (hard-links them all to the one in the "default" profile). I'd also like to have virtual interfaces configured differently in different profiles -- as in, not configured at all in some profies -- so I tried creating e.g. ifcfg-eth0:1 in one of the profiles/ subdirectories, but not only is it ignored when using the network control tool to switch profiles, it also gets *deleted* from the profile if I run system-config-network. There's nothing about profiles in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.93.20.EL/sysconfig.txt and no documentation included with the system-config-* RPMs. Does this simply not support having different devices in different profiles? This (particularly the deleting of files I hand-edited) is the sort of thing that used to make me rip linuxconf out of the older RedHat distributions. On a similar note, my ISP has four nameservers, plus I want to include my local LAN nameserver and the nameserver from my work network -- but system-config-network insists on deleting all but the first three nameservers from my resolv.conf. Yeah, I know, upstream issue, but as long as I'm venting ...

CentOS 4.2 hangs at power-on boot
by Bart Schaefer 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

I've just installed CentOS 4.2 on a brand-new PC. It appears to be working fine except for one thing: When the system is first powered on, the boot sequence hangs after Starting udev: Initializing hardware ... storage network audio If I then hit the reset button, it reboots and successfully proceeds. Looking at rc.sysinit and the output of kmodule, it would appear that the problem is with loading the pciehp module. In dmesg after the successful boot I can see a bunch of errors from that module (cut'n'paste appended at the end of this message), but everything appears to be working correctly -- graphical boot was fine, gdm starts up and I have a functional X session when I log in. Any clues? Google found some Debian bug reports regarding hotplug and USB drives ... hmm, now that I think of it, I do have a USB mouse plugged in at boot time, next chance I have I'll try it without that. Adding "redhat" or "centos" to the search didn't turn up anything conclusive. Other details: System installed from CentOS 4.0 ISOs, then upgraded to 4.2 with yum Motherboard is ASUS P5N32-SLI, using onboard sound Radeon X300SE PCI-E graphics card Power-on boot from the install CD also hung, at "running /sbin/loader" but rebooted correctly into the installer after the reset button was pressed.

It appears that in FC4 setting 'X11UseLocalhost no' causes sshd to listen for X connections only on the IPV6 port: $ netstat -ant | grep 6010 tcp 0 0 :::6010 :::* LISTEN I'd say this was a bug, and indeed there is such a report in the openssh bugzilla, but it's supposed to have been fixed years ago. I've tried forcing sshd to use IPV4 only (with the -4 flag) but that just gets me back into the land of X authentication failures. The problem with rasmol is that it tries to use the X shared memory extension if it thinks it's running on the same host as the X server. To rasmol an ssh-forwarded X connection looks like a local connection, so it tries to use shared memory and fails. The 'X11UseLocalhost no' trick works because it makes the forwarded connection look like a connection to a remote machine so the application falls back to using an alternative. Looking at the source for rasmol I see that it uses this test to determine if it can use MIT-SHM: ptr = DisplayString(dpy); if( !ptr || (*ptr==':') || !strncmp(ptr,"localhost:",10) || !strncmp(ptr,"unix:",5) || !strncmp(ptr,"local:",6) ) So even with 'X11UseLocalhost yes' it might be possible to fool it into not using MIT-SHM by setting your DISPLAY to '127.0.0.1:10.0' (or whatever).

RAID 1: missing operating system

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a RAID-1 with Centos4.2 on HP Netserver E60. The raid consists of 2 9,1GB SCSI disks. The partitioning and installation process went smoothly, but after it finished and rebooting, there is an error: Missing operating system. The partition is: / /home swap Bootloader is on device md0.

Help with megaraid_mbox driver
by Scott Sharkey 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi All, I've built a custom CD based on CentOS 4.2. An OOB CentOS 4.2 disk will detect the megaraid (Perc4) card in a Dell 1850/2850, and load properly. My version does not. I have checked, and the original shipping kernel for CentOS contains the same megaraid_mbox driver as the updated kernel that is on my CD. Basically, my CD removed some RPMS, and added others for a custom distro. As far as I can see, the proper kernel files are still present (I'm using an unmodified buildinstall script, and Johnny Hughes' build script for the CD). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to figure out why the new CD says it cannot find an appropriate hard drive to install on? Is there something specific that would be missing like pcitables, etc? Thanks for any advice or suggestions. -Scott

Http proxy set in yum.conf is not working for the new yum mirrorlist system
by Radu Radutiu 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi, It seems that the new update system does not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything works. If I comment out the mirrorlist lines in CentOS-Base.repo yum is working fine without setting http_proxy environment variable (using the proxy defined in yum.conf). Anyone else seeing this or am I doing something wrong? Regards, Radu

Enabling POP3 on CentOS4 / dovecot
by Bart Schaefer 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I'm bringing up a new CentOS 4 machine on my home network. It's intended to replace a crufty machine that has been acting as my mail gateway. The existing machine does spam and virus filtering, and then I let my kids get their mail off it with POP3 from another machine on the home office LAN (so they're not competing with me for the keyboard when I'm working). Dovecot starts up an IMAP4 server but not a POP3 server. Is there a standard configuration (an RPM I've failed to install? an /etc/sysconfig script? somthing I can "chkconfig on" that I'm just not seeing?) for enabling POP3 with dovecot on RHEL4/CentOS4?

Does your rkhunter do an md5 check?
by Jim Smith 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I rebuilt rkhunter-1.2.8-1.noarch.rpm by using the spec and tgz from the rkhunter site (www.rootkit.nl) (I rebuilt it using his instructions.) However rkhunter does not do an md5 check. The box used to have fedora and each time there were updates it would complain that the some of the md5's don't match. I contacted the author using his contact feature on Wednesday but he hasn't replied. I know Karanbir's repo has 1.1.9 (as does fedora development), but i thought I'd have the latest. The box has # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.2 (Final) which is supported in the os.dat file in rkhunter.

ssh x11 forwarding problem
by Tony Schreiner 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I'm running into an a problem with x11 forwarding over ssh I'm trying to run an application (rasmol - molecule viewing program) which when using the the default setup for x11 forwarding causes the following error: X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 132 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_ShmAttach) Serial number of failed request: 230 Current serial number in output stream: 231 It used to be possible to overcome this by setting X11UseLocalhost no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config This worked in CentOS 3 but does not in CentOS 4 (or Fedora 4 for that matter), and I'm guessing it is a XFree86 vs. Xorg issue. Now, when using X11UseLocalhost no no X applications work ssh myserver # echo $DISPLAY myserver.fqdn:10.0 # xdpyinfo xdpyinfo: unable to open display "myserver.fqdn:10.0". I have X11 forwarding set up on the client side by default. on the other hand if I don't use tunneling, but set DISPLAY=myclient: 0 and xhost +myserver on the client then the application works. I prefer to use tunneling if possible. Thoughts about why X11UseLocalhost doesn't work? Tony Schreiner

kernel panic: Assertion failure in __journal_unfile_buffer()
by Ulrik S. Kofod 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I was just extracting a 96MB tar file ( tar -xWf backup.tar ), the cpu load was 99% for a long time. I then stopped it and tried again, but this time this popped up in my ssh session: -- Message from syslogd@rock at Sat Feb 18 00:47:05 2006 ... rock kernel: Assertion failure in __journal_unfile_buffer() at fs/jbd/transaction.c:1520: "jh->b_jlist < 9" -- A kernel panic dump is displayed on the servers monitor. Here is what I can remember: Call trace: jurnal_commit_transaction+<something> [jdb] Is the panic dump stored anywhere? When I rebooted, the raid set was dirty and it was re-synced, it did not mark a drive faulty or started using a spare, the raid set still uses the same two disks and now everything seems normal, except this is the second time it does this. It is a fresh install of Cent-OS 4.2 from the DVD image and with the latest updates from yum. The server has 4 80GB software mirrored IDE disks, 2 + 2 spares, one on each channel of a HPT374 controller. I have no idea about what to look for; I have tested the disks many times with the vendor tools and no errors have been found.

OT: Local Mirror problems, wrong paths to RPMs with yum update
by James Pifer 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

This week I set up a local mirror for a few dists, including Centos 4.0 and 4.2, and Fedora Core 3 and 4. I'm using a script called yum-pull. For the most part I really like the script, it automates the setup of your mirrors and tries a bunch of different mirrors when it goes out to get updates, if it fails on one it tries another. It uses the usual suspects, createrepo and repoview, among others. That being said I have it all setup, but I have the following problem. For some reason the paths are not always right when you run yum update from a workstation. I'm installing a fresh copy of centos 4.2 right now so I can test the centos mirror, but I definitely have problems with my FC3 and 4 ones. One example, if I include atrpms in my repo file, it's looking for the RPMs in this directory: http://mirror.myserver.com/repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/atrpms/ BUT it should be looking here: http://mirror.myserver.com/repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/atrpms/packages/ Can anyone tell me where this is screwed up at? The directory structure looks like this: repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/atrpms/headers/ repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/atrpms/packages/ repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/atrpms/repodata/ repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/updates/headers/ repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/updates/packages/ repomirror/fedora/linux/4/i386/updates/repodata/ etc. I just tried my centos4.2 mirror on the new test install and it worked ok. Still, any help understanding this is appreciated. I did some googling on createrepo but have yet to find my answer. Thanks, James

Problems with IDE RAID on specific motherboard
by Benjamin Smith 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

About 9 months ago, I made a policy decision to adopt RAID 1 on all systems I admin. (about 20 systems, all told) It's been a long, slow process. One of the systems is being upgraded from CentOS3 to CentOS4. It's been rock-solid stable for over a year. It's a "frankenserver" with parts from all over the place, maintained over years of active service. Currently, it's got an ASRock "M810LMR" motherboard in it. http://www.ciao.co.uk/ASRock_M810LMR__5410842 When I install the O/S (I've tried CentOS 4.0 and 4.2) with IDE RAID, it bombs, takes hours just to format the drives, and won't reboot, getting stuck at "GRUB". But, when I install the SAME TWO DRIVES without RAID, (eg: some partitions on one drive, some on the other) it works perfectly. I've tried putting both drives on separate IDE cablels, using completely different drives, and trying CentOS 4.0 and 4.2. When I try to set up IDE raid while it's taking a very long time to format the drives, I see lots of errors about DMA on the alternate consoles, and there being only one drive (unable to start RAID array, only 1 drive found) even though the installer and disk druid have no problem reporting both drives. It comes down to something like "/dev/mdN delayed until /dev/mdX is synchronized because they share physical resources"... I'm stumped, and falling back to non-RAID because this system is needed in production. And, I'm not new to using software RAID, I've been using it for years without issue. Any idea what's going on? -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978

Postgresql 8.1.x on CentOS 3.6
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if there are any Postgresql 8.1.3 RPMs for CentOS 3.6? I've looked at the Postgresql website but I couldn't find anything under RHEL3/CentOS3. I've tried installing the RHEL4 RPMs which seem to work. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors whenever I try to compile PHP5 from source. Thanks and Best Regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

clock, centos 4 and dual core?
by Ugo Bellavance 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hi, I have a dual core athlon server and it is gaining 1 day every 2 days w/o time sync. Even with ntpd running, the time is not under control. I must put a very frequent cronjob of 'ntpdate' to keep the time under control. This creates big problems since winbind eventually stops working so my users can't access their data. Any ideas? -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail. I read the list. -> Please avoid top-posting, long signatures and HTML, and cut the irrelevant parts in your replies.

I suggested it, and not just for common SSH on CentOS questions but for anything that's, well, frequently asked on the list and at least vaguely CentOS related.
