Re: [CentOS] question on cut
by Jeff Stacey 02 Sep '05

with /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log you would need to use echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f3 echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f1 *-> /home/silentm/log/file echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f2 *-> machine echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f3 *-> log HTH - Jeff >>> geisj(a)pagestation.com 9/2/2005 9:00 AM >>> I am trying to use cut to tell me the suffix of a file. for example: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1- I was expecting to get .log or log but I get the entire string echoed back. doing the opposite gave me what I expected: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1 gives me /home/silentm/log/file I am trying to find a way to test if the file ends in .log? How might I do that. Thanks, Jerry _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

system reboots after shutdown
by User Lists 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hi all, When i want to shutdown my laptop (the result is the same from command line as from gdm), screen gets blank, but computer restarts. APM is disabled (this laptop doesn't support it), and disabling ACPI is no solution, because it controls the fan. Kernel version is 2.6.9-11.EL and CPU is Pentium Centrino. Laptop is an AIRIS 840. I use different distros (ubuntu, debian and knoppix) to reproduce this problem without a result. How can I solve this problem?. Thank you for your help. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis!

Building bacula RPM from Karanbir's repo
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hi all, Has anyone tried to rebuild bacula from the source RPM provided on Karanbir's CentOS yum repo? Every time I give it a go, I'm given this error during the configure stage: checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/BUILD/depkgs/mtx-1.2.17kes' make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/BUILD/depkgs/mtx-1.2.17kes' make: *** [mtx] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.1839 (%build) I've tried specifying the host type in the spec file itself by entering the following: --host=x86_64-centos-linux-gnu and --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu but neither have worked. This is my first go at building bacula, so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something: I just don't know what. Do I need to enter a macro in my .rpmmacros file? Currently: %_topdir %(echo "$HOME")/rpmbuild %_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp Is the spec file hosed? Something else entirely? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com

GUI Server settings not present
by Todd Cary 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I have installed the minimum and used yum and groupinstall to install "System Tools" "Web Server" yet the GUI Server Settings does not contain the Web server or Samba (Samba was installed with "yum install samba"); it just contains Services. Have I missed something here? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Can't mount FAT32 partition

01 Sep '05

I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS. I'm following the instructions on this page: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php This is the line I put into /etc/fstab /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0 And this is the error I get: [root@localhost mnt]# mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted file systems What is the cause of this error?

[OT] DNS - asking for your opinion
by Simone 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hi list, I first apologise because this is really off topic, but I would really appreciate your opinion on this. I have had a very hard time configuring a DNS server to answer reverse dns queries, and I would like to have your opinion on my provider behaviour. We have 3 classless subnets and asked the provider to delegate reverse dns. They configured their server and emailed me all was fine but i it didn't work for one subnet, so I mailed back and they assure their side was all perfectly configured. I finally find out (spending lot of time and thanks to www.dnsstuff.com) that they configured 2 zones like 128/27.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa and one as 128-27.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa, so my server was not able to answer queries because I had all zones 128/27.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. As said before it is my first time configuring Bind and I am sure the more experienced would have notice and solved it quite soon, but still I wonder why to use different convention (without telling us) and even if this is correct (red the http://rfc.net/rfc2317.html and they always use "/" not "-" ). Hope I won't be banned from the list for this email...... Thanks for your time reading this Simone

'Many' packages installed - CentOS 4.1
by Tom Brown 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hi Installed my first CentOS box last night after coming from Whitebox - This is perhaps me being stupid but on install i opted for 'Custom' install as i prefer minimal and then build as i suit. I went through the list of things to install and removed everything apart from networking. Install happenned and tons of stull ended up being installed including X openoffice and the like - Why was that when i de-selected everything apart from networking? It was very much bloatware and not what i want on a server. thanks for any hints

(PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) Description : PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The mod_php module enables the Apache Web server to understand and process the embedded PHP language in Web pages. ---------------- Update Information: This update is considered important by the CentOS Development Team. A bug was discovered in the PEAR XML-RPC Server package included in PHP. If a PHP script is used which implements an XML-RPC Server using the PEAR XML-RPC package, then it is possible for a remote attacker to construct an XML-RPC request which can cause PHP to execute arbitrary PHP commands as the 'apache' user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2498 to this issue. All Users of PHP-5 from the CentOSPlus Repo should upgrade to these updated packages.

Mod_auth_mysql
by Thomas E Dukes 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hello, I just upgraded from WBEL 4 to Centos 4.1 per the FAQ. I'm pretty sure after running 'yum update', mysql and apache were updated. I was previously using mod_auth_mysql under WBEL 4 to password protect several directories but now things seem to be broken. When I go to a password protected directory I get an Internal Server Error 500. The only explanation in the error log is "no user file?" Any ideas? TIA

I have a server running on CentOS that sits being another firewall. I want to forward a certain ports to another server, but only for a handful of addresses. Can anyone assist with an example rule of this? For example, let's say I wanted requests from 24.83.77.24 and 63.47.50.16 on port 10001 to forward to internal server 192.168.1.15 All other requests for THAT port would be rejected or dropped. Anyone willing to give me an example rule that would allow this to be forwarded? I appreciate any help. Thanks, James

USB DIsk and mount point
by Jesús García González 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hello. I use Centos 4.1 When I inserted my usb 2.0 disk for the first time it created the mount point /media/usbdisk just fine. Which I used to mount the disk. But as soon as I used it in another computer (winxp) when I took the usb back to centos the mount point had become /media/IOMEGA (yeah it's an iomega driver) but then as time goes by, the mount point every time the disk is used else where the mount point changes from /media/___________ to whatever other garble you can think of.... Now Executing a mount /media/_what_ever_is_today_ will mount the usb disk just fine without any problems. Why does the mount point changes so erratically??? J.

USB Disk
by James Pifer 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

I put a new server together with CentOS 4. This server is doing a number of functions including ntp, mail, and web server. I had a USB drive plugged in and it was working great. I could access it at /media/usbdisk and I copied lots of data to it. I felt the server was "complete" so I wanted to move it. I shut it down, moved it, etc. Everything is ok, except that I cannot access the usbdisk now. If I plug it into my laptop (FC4) I can access it without any problems. When I plug it into the server I get: Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: wakeup Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Vendor: WDC WD16 Model: 00JB-00GVA0 Rev: 0 0 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: SCSI device sdb: 312581808 512-byte hdwr sectors (160042 MB) Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: sdb: sdb1 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Attached scsi generic sg3 at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky scsi.agent[9209]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.2/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0 Aug 30 15:47:23 porky fstab-sync[9282]: added mount point /media/usbdisk for /dev/sdb1 Problem is when I go to /media/usbdisk there's nothing there.

pop before smtp
by Mark Quitoriano 30 Aug '05

Hi! Im using postfix+postfixadmin+mysql+courier-imap i just implemented pop-before-smtp[1], my problem is after recieving the mails i connect to the server using telnet and try to send spam using the mail server it did send it didn't ask for authentication anymore. i'm not sure how this pop-before-smtp really works but i was thinking how should i secure the server in this kind of attacks.

yum custom install
by Todd Cary 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I am trying to learn some of the in's and out's of yum, and thanks to the help of many on this forum, things are beginning to make more sense (though I still have a lot more to learn). My initial Centos install was the "minimum". From there I used yum grouplist and yum installgroup. However, one of the members helped me with using yum to install php-mysql and I just found on this forum php-gd (which I installed). It appears one "just has to know about these packages" or have I missed something? Once I have an install that I like, can I save off the list of packages and use it the next time I do an install? Also, when I do a "yum list", I do not see the php-mysql or the php-gd listed. Am I looking at the incorrect list? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Semi-OT: OpenSource DRM server on CentOS?
by dan.trainor 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello, all - I understand that this is moderately OT, but hey, since I plan on running it on top of CentOS.... ;) Please bear with me. For our company's internal use of protected media, I have been asked to investigate any and all kinds of OpenSource DRM servers/services. I wouldn't imagine that (if this exists) an OpenSource DRM server daemon would exist on the stock CentOS release, but if such a beast does live, where might I find it? Anyone have any names, or sites that might list something such as this? Anyone have experience in this realm? Thanks! -dant

bind and bind-chroot

RAID5 - MBR and default grub config on CentOS 4

greetings, i just know i have read several times on this list and in other places that on a RAID5 array that the MBR should be placed on the /boot partition. is this truly correct and if so, why? my experiences of putting the MBR on the /boot partition are contrary to that it will even work and boot that way... comments please? regards, - rh -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net

New User: Kudos, small/old platform, RPM Illegal Instruction
by Bill Maltby 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello All! My 1st use of CentOS went well on my later eqpt. Thanks and congrats on a good product. Figured I might as well see if I could use it on some old stuff, still good but obsolete. Picked an AMD 5x86 (equivalent to a Pentium 75 MHz) and decided to see if I could make it my gateway/router. Had some difficulties, not unexpected. Old CD drive couldn't read the CDs. No boot from CD in BIOS. Floppy was broken. Memory is 36 MB. VLB MB, appx. 1 GB old slow drives, etc. Decided to plug HD into another unit and do install there. Went OK, but for some reason, all the junk I tried to turn off still appears to get started. Anyway, my problem is that RPM traps with illegal instruction when a query all, among other combinations, is attempted. It does not do it on my AMD XP, but does do it on the old one. Possible that RPM was compiled with a later arch specified? If so, is there a way to recompile it on my faster machine for execution on the older machine? Or has someone already fixed this and I can download or something? I'm relatively new to this distribution stuff (been doing LFS in the past and many other *IX things before that). I did a search using "rpm illegal instruction" of the lists, but didn't see anything that seemed appropriate. By the way, if the rc.sysinit has the swapon moved up to the front, things work OK. If not, things freeze up as mem is exhausted. Swapon does not appear to be bothered by the fact that LVM is not in control yet. Even if it is, I added another disk, set up two swap areas there and sailed on. Performance counts on a (equiv. to) P75! 8-O If all this works out, I'll try to send some money. Also, *if* I'm able, I will help test what I can. Got an old Aptiva over in the corner too. Hmmm.... am I really a candidate for this org? Maybe not?

Antivirus logging linux
by Wayne 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hey Guys, I have a network of windows clients with a couple of linux servers for various tasks. What I would like to do is have some form of antivirus on the clients that will log alerts to something on a linux server and store the info in sql. Anybody have any idea on something that can do this? I tried asking on the securityfocus virus list and I emailed grisoft about their network product. Neither proved fruitful... I want to be able to run my own custom reporting from sql on the fly basically... Any pointers would be _greatly_ appreciated as even googling doesn't appear to be helping me here... Thanks, Wayne

Can't get the gd library to work
by StarQuake 29 Aug '05

I have a system with FC2, with php and gd. I just installed the php package and the gd package and it works fine. I also have a system with CentOS 4.1 and installed the php package and the gd package but when I use phpinfo() I do not see the gd extension. Am I missing something? I somehow feel it has something to do with the config flags Working FC2: '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' Non-working CentOS 4.1: '--with-gd=shared' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' StarQuake -- for some how-to's and rpms visit my site : http://solid.bounceme.net for commercially supported solutions visit : http://www.robas.com

Previewing oggvorbis files in GNOME...
by Jose Alburquerque 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me a little help trying to figure something out: I presently am running CentOS4.1 with GNOME as my desktop (It runs quite well, I must say!). I just have a little curiosity: I have a few audio files (.wav, .mp3 and .ogg) and I like to "preview" them. When run my mouse over the .wav files (and mp3 files) the "previewing" function works fine, but when I try to preview an oggvorbis file (.ogg) it seems that the file is about to be previewed (because the icon changes), but no sound comes out. I noticed that nautilus (the file-manager) uses sox to play the audio files when previewing. Recently I had to add mp3 support to sox to be able to use "graveman" (a cd burning software) and I figure that's why mp3 previewing works fine for me under GNOME. I thought that the reason that ogg files do not sound is because my version of sox may not have oggvorbis support, but this is not the case because I can play them using the "play" command easily at the command line. Also when I type "sox -h" I get: sox: Version 12.17.7 Usage: [ gopts ] [ fopts ] ifile [ fopts ] ofile [ effect [ effopts ] ] gopts: -e -h -p -v volume -V fopts: -r rate -c channels -s/-u/-U/-A/-a/-i/-g/-f -b/-w/-l/-d -x effect: avg band bandpass bandreject chorus compand copy dcshift deemph earwax echo echos fade filter flanger highp highpass lowp lowpass mask mcompand noiseprof noisered pan phaser pick pitch polyphase rate repeat resample reverb reverse silence speed stat stretch swap synth trim vibro vol effopts: depends on effect Supported file formats: aiff al au auto avr cdr cvs dat vms gsm hcom la lu maud mp3 nul ossdsp prc raw sb sf sl smp sndt sph 8svx sw txw ub ul uw voc vorbis vox wav wve which let's me know that my version of sox has vorbis support. Anyone know why I can't preview my oggvorbis files in GNOME? Thanks a million. -Jose

Has anyone noticed that in the latest gaim update (gaim-1.3.1-0.el4.3.i386.rpm) almost all the MSN smiley icons are not included in the package? I've reverted to gaim-1.3.1-0.el4.i386.rpm and they're all there. Is this a bug? and if not why would redhat remove the smiley icons from Gaim? -- Tim Edwards

CUPS for KDE
by Kai 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

CUPS for KDE, my printer does not work properly, it don't print all pages, misses connection with usb, etc. When I installed and configured in GNOME every thing seemed to be fine. When entering KDE it automatically adds two printers and generally brings the printer out of work. I have figured out that I am missing this support according to this link: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/VII.cups-h… Is this correct? And where can i find this package including those files? kai

file system defragmentation

I've read in many places that file systems on Linux do not suffer the same fragmentation problems of Windows systems. No one has provided a clear explanation as to why fragmentation is not an issue for file systems such as ext2/3, reiserfs, xfs, etc. Just curious.

RE: [CentOS] Mount floppy on startup?
by Ash Christopher 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

In reality, it is because I am anal. I changed to CentOS from Gentoo, and with Gentoo, there was no /media directory. I had drives mounted to /media/music , /media/television, and so on. So, when I changed to CentOS, by habit I wanted the same structure. Now when connecting to my samba share that connects to the /media directory, I get two other directories; floppy and lost+found. I guess it isn't a big deal, but it definitely bothers me. There has to be a reason that that dir and fstab line are being added. The fact that I don't know how it works bothers me more than having those two directories =). -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Mike McCarty Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 11:59 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Mount floppy on startup?

Ah, I thought you meant that you were having mounts take place when the floppy disc was present in the drive. Why do you care if there is an empty directory?

OT: CentOS server with 2 GbE links to 2 GbE switches
by Patrick 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi all, I am trying to come up with an architecture that has some redundancy. The idea is to hook up the two GbE LAN interfaces of a CentOS server to two Gigabit Ethernet switches. In case one switch goes down, there is a redundant path (the server is redundant too). Here is the idea: ----------- | GbE | PCs ------------| switch |------------ | | ----------- | | ----------------- ----------------- ---| Workgoup Switch | | CentOS/Asterisk | | ----------------- ----------------- | | ----------- | VoIP ------------| GbE |------------ Phones | switch | ----------- How would I acomplish this? Can I use IP addresses from one IP network (say 10.0.0.0/24) to assign to the 2 LAN ports on the CentOS server and a port on each of the GbE switches and then use something like OSPF on the switches and the CentOS box to do the routing? Any other ideas? Many thanks for your suggestions. Regards, Patrick

screen shifting
by Daniel Wright 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hello List, I was wondering if there is a way to shift the screens in linux. I got a kvn yesterday, and have a problem when switching from computers, where the screen is slightly shifted on one of them. I have to go into the monitor configuration screen and move the screen to the right to center it on one of the computers. Then when moving back to the other computer, that screen isn't centered and have to back to the left so its centered. Is there a way to adjust this in xorg.conf so that when I switch between the computers, I don't have to switch the computers? I am running CentOS 4.1. Thanks, Dan

Perhaps "managed" is a replacement for "kudzu", but I doubt it. > Maybe I do not understand your solution properly. > > Thanks, > Ash Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Gfs and storage
by Wayne 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi Guys, I have two mail servers and I want them to use gfs to share some storage device.. I don't want to buy a storage device but I have a spare server that maybe could be used. Anybody here use gfs without a proper san? Say just somehow using a server running linux? Or anybody have any thoughts? Thanks, Wayne

portsentry and proftpd RPMs available
by Troy Engel 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Just dropping a note, I've built CentOS4 friendly RPMs (as well as RHEL4 and FC4) of two of my favourite tools, PortSentry and ProFTPd: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.falsehope.net/home/tengel/portsentry/CentOS4/ ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.falsehope.net/home/tengel/proftpd/CentOS4/ PortSentry is built using the last known (RedHat 9 based) SPEC/patches from FreshRPMS, updated to apply with the latest known version 1.2. I have noticed no problems in it's operation on a production server, it's detecting portscans and dropping IPs as expected. ProFTPd has a backport of a patch applied that makes it work with the default MySQL 'old_passwords=1' setting found in RHEL4/CentOS4 default installs (proftpd bug #2644). If you don't want ProFTPd MySQL support in CentOS4, simply rebuild the SRPM without any commandline options. Both packages SRPMs should cleanly rebuild on CentOS3/RHEL3, but untested by me. -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid Inc. | http://www.fluid.com

php-memcache module and Centos 3
by Alain NAKACHE 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi all, I need to compile the php-memcache PECL module but it needs a php 4.3.3 version. RHEL 3/Centos 3 provides only a php 4.3.2 but the symbol ' php_stream_pclose' is unknown. The compilation fail with : ext/memcache/memcache.o(.text+0x7ab):/home/alain/rpm/BUILD/php-4.3.2/ext/memcache/memcache.c:386: undefined reference to `php_stream_pclose' Then I wonder if a guru on this list managed to create a patch easily integrated in the php.src.rpm to permit the usage of php-memcache on Centos3 -- Alain

impress viewer for openoffice
by Jerry Geis 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi, I am attempting to find an openoffice powerpower point viewer. I found imposter but when I run my file it says "Cannot find zip signature". I though I would zip it up an try it again but that did not work either. Also I dont think there is a way from the command line to go fullscreen? not sure. Anyone know of a good power point viewer for centos? or a way to make impress startup and go into slideshow mode? Either is fine... Jerry
