A little iptables help
by James Pifer 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Wondering if anyone is willing to give me a little assistance with some firewall rules. I think what I'm looking for is fairly simple, and I've been trying to use webmin's firewall module without success. I have a web server that I'd like to open up port 80 and forward a specific port for a select number of allowed ips. That's it. Everything else is dropped. allow: port 80 allow: forward port 8000 for x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y Anyone willing to assist with the rules? And lastly, how would I apply it in a way that it will always be in affect? If the machine reboots for example. Any help is appreciated. James

virtual interfaces
by Ryan 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

I have CentOS 4 running on an old (early model) p3 with 64 MB RAM. It is acting as a router and firewall for my LAN. CentOS is doing a really good job with Shorewall + DHCPd - on a 10 Mbps cable modem, I see ~ 9.7 Mbps of throughput even when numerous tcp streams to different LAN hosts are running. I would like to add a virtual interface to one of my LAN interfaces. My LAN interface (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2) looks like: DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.10.255 HWADDR=00:60:08:C3:F9:71 IPADDR=192.168.10.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.10.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet would adding the below: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2:0 DEVICE=eth2:0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.20.255 HWADDR=00:60:08:C3:F9:71 IPADDR=192.168.20.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.20.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet Would this create a virtual interface eth0:0 with the IP address 192.168.20.1? Thanks in advance.

NFS Mount - RH7.3 Server - CentOS 4.1 Client
by Tom Brown 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hi Just upgrading one of my dev servers - I'm replacing a current box that runs 7.3 to one that runs CentOS 4.1 Currently the 7.3 dev box talks to a fileserver also running 7.3 over NFS and that works fine. I'm now trying to get the CentOS 4.1 box to talk NFS to the 7.3 server. When i try and mount the NFS share on the CentOS box i get the following error # mount /mnt/cvs mount to NFS server 'Server Name' failed: server is down. Now i know the server is not down as the 7.3 client is connected fine. Anyone seen this before or know a work around? Nothing in any logs from client or server to give me any hints? thanks

centos 4 installed on P4 won't boot on P3
by Tom 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hi, I installed centos 4 on a P4, configured it (and it booted fine here) then sent it to the DC to be put in a P3 but it won't boot, displays GRUB and halts. The DC guys tried grub-install in rescue mode but still the same. Any clues? Is there some difference between P3 and P4? thanks tom

Is there some difference between P3 and P4? Happends when the MotherBoard chipset differs to much (usually ide controllers) We had similar problems with P4 with via & intel chipset.

Is it bad for my web document folder to be user accessible?
by Dave Gutteridge 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

PHP and MySQL seem to working on my CentOS installation. I'd like to install phpMyAdmin as well, so I downloaded the necessary files from phpMyAdmin's homepage and copied them to /var/www/html... ... except that's where the process stopped. My regular user account doesn't have permission to write into the /var/www/html folder. Should I just chmod the folder to 777? Is there a reason it's not already user accessible? This is a local machine where I'll be testing web pages of my own design, and not accessible from the web. Or at least I hope not. If I'm running an Apache server just for local files, it's not being seen on the web, is it? Dave

AD Issues with Centos 4
by Scott Heisler 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I have the latest Centos (4.1), all YUM'd up to date. I've been through the How-TO's on Samba's site as well as 4 million other sites and still can't get proper AD (Active Directory) Authentication to work. It looks like it's working, appears in the domain server list and pulls users and groups. If I do a klist -u, I see all the users with domain+username correctly. However, I can't apply any of that security to any directories on the box or see those users with Webmin (when doing Samba Share security). The users who don't have local accounts can't browse the samba server either (as soon as they connect, it pops up the login ID & Pass) I followed everything and have been working on the issue for 4 days. Am I missing something? Please help! Thanks.

booting from copied ext3 software raid fs to normal fs
by dan1 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hello. I am trying to boot CentOS 4 from a copy of an ext3 software RAID 1 filesystem (md) which has been copied to a normal ext3 filesystem (hd). I am almost getting there, exept that the system hangs after booting the kernel. I copied the datas from the /boot and / partitions to two similar partitions on the backuped disk with mirrordir (can also be done with cp or dd). I have setup the new disk with grub and I can reach the grub stage 2. It will also boot the kernel properly, but it will hang during the SElinux initialisation (which is disabled). I don't know exactly if it's a mount or SElinux problem. Also, it seems that the raid device is trying to be initialised, and I don't have an md but an hd on that drive. This comes probably from the original setup. My question is: does somebody know how I can change that behaviour and let linux mount the hd instead of the md coming from the original ? Do I need to boot another vmlinuz image or another initrd for it to work properly ? In this case, how could I generate those new images ? The output of the boot sequence is the following: Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev Loading raid1.ko module md: raid1 personnality registered as nr 3 Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root SElinux: Disabled at runtime SElinux: Unregistering netfilter hooks Then, it hangs here undefinitely. Here is my menu.lst grub file on the backup disk I want to boot from: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.9-11.106.unsupported) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported.img Here is it's fstab: none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Any help is greatly appreciated.

applets reported as dying unexpectedy on login
by Tony 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Ever since the xorg-x11 security update of September 13th, I often see the following 3 messages on login: The "Show Desktop" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? The "Window List" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? The "Workspace Switcher" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? Answering yes to all 3 keeps things ticking along happily- but it's not good for my users to see this as they have just about got the hang of answering 'no' by default when an o/s pops up some unexpected question that they don't understand. I'm seeing this across quite a wide range of i386 machines - from 1GHz pIII's authenticating by LDAP to a standalone 3200+ Athlon at a completely different location. I assume this is either an upstream bug, or a consistent misconfiguration on my part. Is anyone else seeing it, or does anyone have any suggestions? -- Cheers, Tony

up2date upgrade-to-release question
by Alexandru E. Ungur 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anybody did a # up2date --upgrade-to-release=4.1 on CentOS 3.5 box? I did it and I'm having a bit of problems. The box just dies... at intervals between half a day and a couple of days. Initially I considered it was a hw problem, so I had the tech support check it out, and they just switched the box with another, and put the harddisks back on the new box... Unfortunately the dying problem remaind so that's why I started considering that maybe something other that hw could be the problem. So did anybody on the list do such an upgrade, and was it all 100% ok ? TIA, Alex

Belkin OmniView SE 4-port has one aggravating attribute: can't switch in less than 1500ms. Pressing the scan button faster than this is ignored, whereas I want to switch NOW. Performance is flawless beyond this. Other (rare) problems come from system software not seeing a mouse, then seeing one. If the mouse isn't seen during boot-up, I must run kudzu manually to get it seen. The system that has the least problem (meaning never has a problem at all) with the magic disappearing/reappearing mouse is Windows xp pro. *sigh* Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner(a)gai-tronics.com (610)796-5838 >>> mike(a)CamaroSS.net 09/25/05 05:09PM >>> centos-bounces(a)centos.org <> scribbled on Sunday, September 25, 2005 4:00 PM: > On Sun, 2005-09-25 at 14:28, Ryan Lum wrote: >> What KVMs do you use?

gnome-terminal / mutt / chars mixed up
by Henk van Lingen 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, I have a little problem with characters/lines getting mixed up and I don't know where to look or how to google for a clue. I've a CentOS 4 system on which I use gnome-terminals. When I use mutt (mutt-1.4.1-10) in such a terminal, in some situations it mixes-up the lines in the terminal. It seems in some way it fails to 'refresh' all lines. For example, if I have a line bind index M current-middle in my .muttrc and I press 'M', it happens. Any ideas? I didn't have this prob with CentOS 3, using the same mutt conf.

Repost ----DPMS or hardware
by Sam Drinkard 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

List, Did not get any response from the first attempt, so thought I'd ask again. I've been bugged by the fact that the dpms function will not work on this machine, and perhaps now I have some clue as to why. Looking at the Xorg.0.log, I see where "Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)" which tells me perhaps this is the reason why it won't turn off the monitor. Also, this line prior to the other. `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/". That part I can maybe fix, but I have no clue what should be in the /dev/apm. The only thing that will happen is the monitor will go into screeensaver mode, or if no saver selected, it will do nothing, not even blank. What should the /dev/apm contain? Where does it pick up the info as to what should be in there, from a probe of the hardware? That said, does the fact that I'm using a custom video driver from ATI make any difference? Thanks for any help..... -- Snowman

Help Wanted With kPPP
by Glen Roy 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hi all. Firstly, I apologize if this question has been asked before, which I'm sure it has. I'm only new to Linux although I have been 'dabbling' for awhile now with Ubuntu, Fedora Core 4, SimplyMEPIS, Xandros to name a few. I found Centos 4.1 on the cover disk of the September issue of APC Magazine and thought I'd give it a go. I want to learn linux and thought this one was the most compatible with RedHat. I know Fedora comes close but I had a few headaches with it. Anyway, what I need to know is the following. I need all users to be able to dial into the Internet using either kppp or whatever without being asked for a root password. I only have dial-up, thanks to Telstra. I've searched for days and tried various things but no luck. Please help me out with simple, step-by-step instructions aimed at a new user. I tried changing permissions, creating dialout group and adding users but no luck. Hope to hear from someone soon in regards to this issue. PS: It doesn't necessarily have to be kppp but any easy to use dialer.

Sata DVD
by Sam Drinkard 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

List, Are Sata DVD drives/recorders supported in CentOS, and if so, what needs to be done to read/write to them. On my initial install, the machine would boot from the drive, but I wound up having to use a regular ide cd-rom drive to do the install. The drive in question is a Plextor 716. Sure a waste of a good drive if I can't get to it. Thanks.. -- Snowman

OT: EVDO cards / service with CentOS
by Barry Brimer 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with using EVDO high speed wireless broadband service under CentOS? I am looking for high speed / low cost internet connectivity for an office that is in an area without DSL or Cable. My idea was to use EVDO from either Verizon or Sprint with a PCMCIA to PCI adapter card that I could stick into a CentOS machine that is used as the router/firewall. If anyone has any specific experience with these, please let me know. Thanks, Barry

Recommendation for HTML editor
by Dave Gutteridge 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

I was playing around with Nvu, and discovered it has serious problems. Mainly that it reformats one's code regardless of whether or not one selects the "Don't reformat code" option. I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they exist. What I'm wondering if there are those on this list who may have a recommendation for one they like and why. I'm also asking on some other lists. Although I'm looking for editors that will run on CentOS, I can understand if this strays too much from the topic of the list. PLease email me off list if you feel that would be more appropriate. Dave

Sound device has been blown away
by Dave Gutteridge 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Well, I spoke to soon. After installing gstreamer-ffmpeg, and creating an .asoundrc file, I thought everything was perfect. All my music applications were handling MP3s, FireFox was playing sounds, everything was sweet. And so I played some music in Rhythmbox. That lasted about four or five songs, and then suddenly, the sound cut out. And at the same time, my keyboard became unresponsive. I could close applications with my mouse, but couldn't type anything in any application. So I rebooted. And when I did, I got a "new hardware detected" old- school interface. It said my Kenwood Audio device had been removed, and I could either remove it's configuration, keep it, or do nothing. I chose to keep it. Then the boot up continued. When finally logged in again, I tried playing some music. No go. So I checked the System Settings | Soundcard Detection utility, and guess what - the Kenwood device is gone. There are no more tabs, there's just one device option, the SB Live device which may or may not be the default motherboard sound device. In any case, it has no speakers and it's not the Kenwood Audio device, which is still attached to my computer and is the device I want to use. What happened to my sound card and how do I get it back?

CENTOS 3.5 (AMD64) NFS install issue
by Dr R L Oswald 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

We operate a cluster of Sun Xeon IA32 servers with Centos 3.5. Nodes are installed via a host-specific kickstart script which is generated for each node from a master template. Thus all kickstart scripts are clones of the master, edited for hostname, IP address etc only. The CENTOS 3.5 ISO images are exported from a server & that remote NFS mount is also configured in the master template. This works perfectly well & a fully automated installation requiring no operator intervention results. We recently added some new Opteron nodes to give us some 64-bit capability. These of course, use a slightly different master kickstart template as they mount up a different ISO directory from the NFS server, which contains the x86_64 version of Centos 3.5. When we install these 64-bit nodes, however, we get the message: "that directory could not be mounted from the server". On hitting OK we get the usual dialogue box which displays our chosen server IP and the correct x86_64 ISO directory, if we OK that, the NFS installation proceeds unattended as normal. I think we saw a similar thing with redHat 9 NFS kickstart installations but it was quite variable. Anyone seen that with CENTOS3 or RHEL3 & got any clues ? TIA Les

DPMS or hardware
by Sam Drinkard 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

List, I've been bugged by the fact that the dpms function will not work on this machine, and perhaps now I have some clue as to why. Looking at the Xorg.0.log, I see where "Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)" which tells me perhaps this is the reason why it won't turn off the monitor. Also, this line prior to the other. `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/". That part I can maybe fix, but I have no clue what should be in the /dev/apm. The only thing that will happen is the monitor will go into screeensaver mode, or if no saver selected, it will do nothing, not even blank. What should the /dev/apm contain? Where does it pick up the info as to what should be in there, from a probe of the hardware? That said, does the fact that I'm using a custom video driver from ATI make any difference? -- Snowman

Mirrordir with CentOS 4
by dan1 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hello everybody. I have been using Mirrordir for a long time and I wanted to know if some of you have been able to use it on a CentOS 4 system. When I try to mirror something, I receive the following error: [root@box scripts]# mirrordir ./test ./test2 Segmentation fault I have downloaded the RPM from here (version 0.10.41-1) : ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/backup/ Is there any other RPM compatible with CentOS 4 ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Daniel

Moving a Centos 3.5 instalation with software raid 1 array + LVM from a pIII to a pIV computer.
by Alexander Georgiev 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi All, We have an old Centos 3.5 file and database server, running on a pIII computer with Intel 820 mother board. It has a software raid 1(mirror) + LVM on two IDE hard disk. I want to upgrade to a newer computer with pIV - 2.4GHz on a Intel D848PMB mother board. Should I expect any problems if I just move the array from the old machine to the new and boot there? Should I do any preparations(I know I must do a full backup), before moving the disks? Best regards! ageorgiev

Recommendation On Ping And Alert Tool
by Kennedy Clark 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

A bit off topic, but I keep looking for an answer to this question and coming up with nothing... so I thought I would go to the gurus. :-) Can anyone recommend a good package for pinging other devices and sending an email/alert when they go down? I'm aware of all kinds of more complex things with GUIs and a zillion other bells and whistles we aren't looking for, but we just want a simple tool (could be daemon or something run from cron) that runs every 1 - 5 minutes and alerts us when stuff disappears. Would need some basic logic like only sending one email/alert when something goes down (vs sending an email every 1-5 minutes until it comes back up). :-) We need to avoid a requirement for an X-windows GUI, but a web-GUI would probably be fine (a GUI-less command-line thing would probably be best). TIA, KC

Just wanted to add one more tool to make this threat complete. See Opmanager at http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/opmanager/ The free edition is really nice if you have a small network to monitor. Nassri > > Try the following ..
