centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm
by Johnny Hughes 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

If you block port 81 outbound, centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm will cause your yum to stop working for CentOS-4. We were serving mirrorlists on port 81 for our new update system, but since this caused some users problems, we are now serving mirrorlists on both port 80 and 81. centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm has released to change the default configuration to port 80 for mirrorlist retrieval. If your yum is not working you can get centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/centos-yumconf-4-4.5.no… This is a noarch RPM and should work on any centos-4 version. You can install it after download with this command: rpm -Uvh centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm

READ! [CentOS] mirrorlist.centos.org port 81? (Yumconf changes)
by Maciej Żenczykowski 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

> Why not - they are the same old mirrors - all that happens is that yum > gets a lost of local up to date mirrors for the release/repo/arch from the > mirrorlist server on port 81 - chosen solely so that we can run it on the > same server > as normal apache on port 80. > > If you have fastestmirror plugin enabld yum will then test the mirrors and > use the fastest local connection. > > The version of yumex that we have at dev.centos.org alsouses the same > mirrorlist system. Note that using a non-standard port (81) here is an error - many restrictive firewalls (or proxies) won't allow such a connection - for example at my Mom's work (were I'm now) and my Dad's. Even though it's an outgoing connection. Setup apache virtual hosting, add a new dns name, and use apache's proxy module to proxy mirrorlister:80 to localhost:81 otherwise this will break for a lot of people. Cheers, MaZe.

slightly OT: high availability remote managerment tools
by lists 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

This is completely OFF TOPIC from centos and slightly vague, so please reply to me direct. I just want to pick everyone's brains here for their experience with high availability remote management (servers, networks, etc). Can anyone recommend any good high availability remote managerment tools. I mean something more than ssh, nagios, etc. Anything from appliances to monitoring, remote access, be it software or hardware. Thanks in advance. Dustin

windows XP pro can not access samba share folder.
by lnthai2002＠aim.com 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hi, I know that this question has been asked many times but i can't find the correct solution from anywhere. I have 4 computer on the LAN connected as follow. comp1(WinXP)---------------------------------> hub1---->router comp2(winXP)---------------------------------> hub1---->router comp3(WinXP)wireless ---> access point----> hub1--->router comp4(CentOS 4.2)-------------------------------------->router I have samba installed on CentOS 4.2 with SELinux enable, everything is up 2 dated. I use swat to make a share folder. testparm doesn't show anything suspicious. Connecting to samba share folder from the same CentOS machine is possible. However, my Windows XP machines can only see my linux machine through network neigbourhood but they can not access it. Here is my smb.conf --------------------------------------------------------------- # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2006/02/16 14:49:12 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MSHOME ;note that encrypt passwd = yes and smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd by default [fat32Share] comment = Shared files from Darkportal path = /mnt/fat32/share valid users = user read only = No guest ok = Yes [nimbus] comment = Samsung printer, the white one on Darkportal path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Do i have to open anyport to allow windows machines access samba shares? Does this have anything to do with SELinux? Any suggestion is welcomed.

ssh attack
by John Merritt 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Hi, I get ssh connect attempts all the time, to my servers at home and at work. I've noticed lately they come from a certain ip address, hitting every 3 or 4 seconds, trying 50 or 100 different user names and passwords. And I get these sweeps from 2 or 3 ip addresses a day. I guess this is an automated attempt to guess a user/pass and break into a system. I tried to secure ssh better by putting in an AllowUsers line in sshd_config. Then I thought tcp wrappers and just putting in my own addresses in /etc/hosts.allow would be even better, until I found out that all mail to my email server would be rejected. I have 2 questions. One, is there anything you can do to stop these attempts, other than not running ssh? And two, do those ssh attempts every 3 or 4 seconds slow down a box, or put any strain on it? John

jfs directory modification times in centosplus
by James Fidell 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

(This is a copy of an email I've sent to the jfs-discussion list. I'm copying here in the hope that I'll get help from somewhere...) I'm running Centos 4.2 with kernel-2.6.9-22.0.2.106.unsupported and jfsutils-1.1.10-3.2 from the centosplus distribution, with a jfs partition for my maildir mail spool, accessed using the dovecot IMAP server. It seems that dovecot doesn't properly track new incoming email, apparently because the modification time on .../Maildir/new doesn't get updated when a new message is linked into it from .../Maildir/tmp. A quick manual test gives: $ mkdir a b $ cd b $ ls -al total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1 Feb 16 15:51 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 72 Feb 16 15:51 .. $ touch c $ ls -la total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8 Feb 16 15:56 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 72 Feb 16 15:51 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 16 15:56 c $ ls -al ../a total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1 Feb 16 15:51 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 72 Feb 16 15:51 .. $ ln c ../a $ ls -la ../a total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8 Feb 16 15:51 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 72 Feb 16 15:51 .. -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 0 Feb 16 15:56 c showing that directory "a" doesn't have the modification date changed when file "c" is linked into it from "b". On an ext3 filesystem however: $ mkdir a b $ cd b ls -la total 12 drwxrwxr-x 2 james james 4096 Feb 16 17:00 . drwxrwxrwt 18 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:00 .. $ touch c $ ls -la total 12 drwxrwxr-x 2 james james 4096 Feb 16 17:01 . drwxrwxrwt 18 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:00 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 james james 0 Feb 16 17:01 c $ ls -al ../a total 12 drwxrwxr-x 2 james james 4096 Feb 16 17:00 . drwxrwxrwt 18 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:00 .. $ ln c ../a $ ls -al ../a total 12 drwxrwxr-x 2 james james 4096 Feb 16 17:02 . drwxrwxrwt 18 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:00 .. -rw-rw-r-- 2 james james 0 Feb 16 17:01 c and the last mod date on "a" is changed.

Hi we installed centos on a Intel server board with LSI rad (no raid configured for the lsi). in Centos it sees both drives so we software raid them and the installation goes well and finishes properly. The problem is when the server reboots it can no longer see the hard drives and no just boots to a low level diagnostic shell. Any ideas? Thanks - Nathan - http://www.netdigix.com

Question about updates again
by Steve Bergman 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

Presumably, the CentOS 4.3 update is not far away. I have CentOS on several servers now and am doing automatic updates. What can I excpect when the actual update gets pushed? Is there an inclrease in the number of patches? Does it happen all in one day? And if so, how much notice do I have? Although I asked on the list a while back, I got some answers that implied said that at update time, bug fix patches are released and at other times only security patches. But I also got a couple of answers that implied that the quarterly update was just a CD that brought the distro up to date with the already issued patches. Sorry to keep beating on this issue, but I want to avoid surprises. Thanks, Steve

How can I disable sound?
by Kai Schaetzl 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

I usually don't setup any GUI on my Linux systems. Yesterday I installed with X and Gnome on a spare system for some testing and hit a problem. Right after login the system freezes. The system froze already earlier when I opted to test the sound card on the Welcome screen and when I login with the alternative login choice xterm and shut down it freezes when "saving mixer settings". So, I suspect there's some problem with the onboard sound or with the driver that gets used from X. How's the best way to cope with this? I don't really need sound, how to disable (short of disabling it on the mainboard)? I already commented out the alsactl stuff in modprobe.conf, but this doesn't change anything and the snd_* modules still get loaded. According to modprobe it thinks it's Intel 8x0 while it is an nforce2 chipset. Well, this may be okay for the kernel, I don't know. Can I disable using sound for the X server or tell the kernel not to load any sound modules? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Using Webalizer in Webmin
by James Gagnon 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

My apologies ahead of time if im off topic for this list. but hopefully someone knows a simple solution. I have two domains. lordsofhorde.com and dragunsrealm.ca In apache I have virtual hosts setup for these domains with a separate *access_log file in the vhost settings for each domain. So each domain is generating its own log file. I use webalizer within webmin to check out the excellent graphical reports of my webserver logs. I have each logfile setup in webalizer so that I have two different reports for each domain. For the most part it works, I do get two completely separate reports between the two domains. However, when I look at the top of the report for both log files it says dragunsrealm.ca at the top. Anyone know how I can make it so webalizer reflects the domain of the logfile/report im looking at? All the webalizer reports say dragunsrealm.ca at the top and I would like for webalizer to differentiate each domain depending on the log report im looking at instead of them all saying dragunsrealm.ca Any ideas?

Greetings, I just got new Dell PowerEdge SC1420 and a 6 channel SATA RAID controller card (Adaptec 2610SA from Dell also) When I attempt to install CentOS 4.2, it doesnt find the RAID 1 mirror I set up.

httpd permissions question
by James Pifer 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

I'm using yum-pull for creating a local yum repo. I have a non-root user that runs the script and the files are stored in that user's home directory. I'm trying to make that directory available with httpd. The user owns all the files and subdirs and the rights on all the files is: -rw-r--r-- I added this to the bottom of httpd.conf and restarted httpd. Alias /repomirror /home/user1/YumRepo <Directory /home/user1/YumRepo> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny #Allow from 172.16 127.0.0.1 #Deny from all </Directory> When I try to access http://servername/repomirror I get a 403 permission denied. What permissions need to be set? Can I publish the directory this way? Thanks, James

FreeNX documentation and other miscellanea
by Craig White 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

I was having trouble connecting to the server that I am using for remote development so I updated things and rebooted. Connected into FreeNX nicely after that...wonder if there is issues with memory leaks or something... Anyway, it appears that the nxagent grabbed port 3000 which is what I was using for rubyonrails/webrick (I probably can change that) which sort of tells me that when I first loaded freenx/nxagent, port 3000 was already in use so it probably adjusted itself but upon reboot, nxagent got all comfortable in port 3000 before I logged in and tried to start webrick in rails... So I wandered through the documentation on NoMachine.com but that doesn't really cover the nxagent and in checking out /etc/nxserver/node.conf.sample, it refers to documentation in !M which means absolutely nothing to me whatsoever. I do see that there are some options that might be interesting such as remote printing - and now that I enabled remote printing on the client side, the freenx server seems disinterested and probably has to be configured and I'm thinking that documentation might be a good thing...where does one find more details on FreeNX server/agent configuration? Thanks Craig

Help with disk server stability issues
by Andrew Zahn 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hi All, I am looking for advice on how to cure a constantly-crashing NFS server which crashes every few hours, or at least, every few days. The kernel log file (below) points toward NFS as a likely cause. The system disk is a 3ware 8000 series RAID1 mirror. The data disk is using a 3Ware 9000 controller to produce two RAID1 devices; these are then striped (RAID0) in software to form a RAID 10 device. We're using a 2.6 kernel, xfs filesystem, and NFS3/UDP. We're running CentOS 4.2 with a 2.6.9-22.0.1.106 kernel. This kernel has xfs extensions, and we're running the xfs filesystem for /home (obtained from CentOS website). In "lsmod" I see both 3w_xxxx and 3w_9xxx modules. NFS is over UDP, jumbo frames (9000), 32k rsize/wsize, async server, async clients, noac. This system has been serving /home in this configuration since October 2005; we've seen it crash rarely, but uptimes were usually on the order of months. This past week, it can't seem to remain up for much longer than about a day. Kernel log file containing the crash: Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: printing eip: Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: 00000000 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: *pde = f561f067 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: PREEMPT SMP Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Modules linked in: nfs nfsd exportfs lockd md5 ipv6 autofs4 i2c_dev i2c_core sunrpc xfs dm_mirror dm_mod button battery ac uhci_hcd shpchp e100 0 floppy ext3 jbd 3w_9xxx 3w_xxxx sd_mod scsi_mod Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: CPU: 0 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: EIP: 0060:[<00000000>] Not tainted VLI Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: EFLAGS: 00010286 (2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupportedsmp) Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: EIP is at 0x0 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: eax: e48ec050 ebx: c040a260 ecx: 00000000 edx: ecf89344 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: esi: ecf89344 edi: f4ad4f00 ebp: 00000000 esp: f4ad4ee4 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Process nfsd (pid: 2839, threadinfo=f4ad4000 task=f4afd6b0) Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Stack: c01649d7 e48ec050 ffffffff c3e300b3 0028fd9d ecf89c2c c0164a4b 0028fd9d Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: 00000003 c3e300b0 ecf89c2c e48ec0c0 e48ec050 ecf89c2c f4ac6804 f8c8bdf3 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: c3e300b0 c31d6a00 f7dc1700 c31d6a00 f89902e7 f4ab6000 f4ac6800 f4ac69d4 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Call Trace: Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<c01649d7>] __lookup_hash+0x70/0x89 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<c0164a4b>] lookup_one_len+0x54/0x63 Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f8c8bdf3>] nfsd_lookup+0x31c/0x3a8 [nfsd] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f89902e7>] svcauth_unix_set_client+0xa7/0xb5 [sunrpc] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f8c93351>] nfsd3_proc_lookup+0xa9/0xb3 [nfsd] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f8c952aa>] nfs3svc_decode_diropargs+0x0/0xfa [nfsd] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f8c896a2>] nfsd_dispatch+0xba/0x170 [nfsd] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f898d459>] svc_process+0x41b/0x6ce [sunrpc] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f8c89482>] nfsd+0x1cc/0x332 [nfsd] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<f8c892b6>] nfsd+0x0/0x332 [nfsd] Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: [<c0104205>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Feb 12 05:52:03 tier2-home kernel: Code: Bad EIP value.

nmap showing lots of ports open that shouldn't be
by jim＠datamantic.com 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

I have a CentOS 4.2 machine. lokkit shows that a firewall is enabled, and it is customized to allow SSH, Web, and DNS traffic only. But if I run nmap against the server IP (from my home machine, outside the local network) it shows over 1000 open ports. Am I not understanding nmap, or is there something seriously wrong here? Here is a small snip of the nmap output (I can include it all if that is helpful, but it is quite long): (The 202 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 1/tcp open tcpmux 2/tcp open compressnet 3/tcp open compressnet 4/tcp open unknown 5/tcp open rje 6/tcp open unknown 7/tcp open echo 8/tcp open unknown 9/tcp open discard 11/tcp open systat 12/tcp open unknown 13/tcp open daytime 14/tcp open unknown 15/tcp open netstat 16/tcp open unknown 17/tcp open qotd 20/tcp open ftp-data 22/tcp open ssh 24/tcp open priv-mail 25/tcp open smtp 26/tcp open unknown

Disk Activity Monitor
by James Pifer 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

I have a USB disk connected to a Poweredge server. The USB Disk is a Mad Dog MegaVault with a 160GB drive installed. It's all working fine, but the external LED on the unit is not working. I'm currently running a script (yum-pull) for setting up a yum mirror and it sits for long periods of time seemingly doing nothing. I started the script this morning at 6:20 for my FC4 yum mirror and it's now 8:50 and it's still running. A "top" shows very little activity from a CPU perspective. The guy who wrote the script says there's probably tons of disk activity going on. The script does continue to run because it will eventually finish. One might think the slowness is because it's a USB drive, but I can copy large amounts of data and do permission changes on files, at the same time this script is running, and it all happens quickly. Guess I'm just trying to verify whether there really is a lot of disk activity going on. I tried looking at ksysguard, but wasn't very successful at seeing what I wanted. I'm not sure I want to use yum-pull if it take 3 hours to run per mirror. Right now I'm mirroring FC4, but I also want to do Centos 4.0 and 4.2, and maybe even Suse 9.2. Are there any other disk activity monitors I should try? Thanks, James

mail access list
by Sam Drinkard 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

I just got through updating my /etc/mail/access file, adding about 20 more IP's that are sending spam/junk mail. During the process, I noticed I had some partial IP's in there, like 64.12.233 which is what I wanted to block. The IP did NOT however get blocked. From what I see, as long as I have a full ip address, they are blocked, but the partial (16) is not. Should it not work anyhow? Never had this problem before, and yes, I run a make on the file after editing. Sam

List of packages in RHEL extras?
by Jim Smith 14 Feb '06

I'm subscribed to the Nahant list and noted someone complaining about the IBM version of Java. Whilst his problems would probably disappear by using the official Java from www.java.com, my question is what is the list of rpms in the extras ISO/channel? I know licencing and so on may mean they cannot be redistributed but i just wanted to know if I'm missing out on anything. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
