Dual Monitors
by Richard Humphrey 18 May '05

18 May '05

I have a PC with an Nvidia Quadro Card in it and it is running CentOS 4.0(all current). I want to set up dual monitors but when I go into the display gui to set it up, X reloads and an error comes up and says it cant load X using this config. This is the only video card in the system and I am trying to hook up two identical ViewSonic VG800 monitors. Single monitor works fine but when try to add second, it fails to load X. Any thoughts? -- Richard Humphrey

named server
by Lee Parmeter 18 May '05

18 May '05

I started the named server on CentOS and it seems to resolve DNS request OK, but it does not seem to retain the info for very long. From what I can tell using "dig", a domain's ip address is retained for less than 12 hours. So in the morning, it takes 4+ seconds to resolve again the first time. Is there an adjustment somewhere for this or is the caching named support not enabled by default? Also, I thought it would be faster if I set named to use my ISP's named server as the first choice. Where do I set this up, in root.hints? Anyone who knows more about "named" please feel free to comment! Thanks! Lee Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

Trouble mounting a second drive
by Richard Kurth 18 May '05

18 May '05

I am tying to mount a second hard drive to my server with CentOS installed on the primary hard drive. I need to get some data off of the drive. It also has Linux installed on it. It was the primary hard drive on the system it was installed on. When I set it up as the second disk it will not boot the drive because it has /boot partition on it. So it conflicts with the /boot partition on the primary drive. How can I boot up the computer so it sees this drive so I can move the data across to the primary drive. -- Best regards, Richard mailto:rdkurth@starband.net

Re: Hardware RAID Controller
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 17 May '05

From: Lee W <centos-list(a)unassemble.co.uk> > Has anyone had any experience of using the Promise FastTrak SX4000 or > SuperTrak SX6000 IDE RAID Controllers under Centos (if it matters I'm > using version 4). I've seen it listed on linuxcompatible.org as working > but would prefer to find out any first-hand experince before I buy. Avoid the FastTraks. Most are FRAID (Fake/Free RAID), 100% software with 0% GPL drivers. The SuperTraks are a "true hardware" microcontroller+DRAM solution with GPL drivers. Unfortunately, they use mega-yesteryear i960 microcontrollers not able to keep up with today's drives. When you want ATA and RAID-5, I recommend the LSI Logic with "x" in the product model to indicate XScale (superscalar StrongARM) microcontrollers. > If not, can anyone suggest another make of RAID Controller that will > support upto 4 IDE RAIDS (preferably with support for RAID 5). And is > also available in the UK. Is there any consideration driving RAID-5? For a majority of applications, RAID-0+1 tends to be better. I prefer 3Ware Escalade 7506/8506 series cards for RAID-0+1. They use a 64-bit ASIC and SRAM (static RAM). The 9500S series is still maturing, although they should eventually show outstanding performance. They add a large amount of DRAM to the existing ASIC+SRAM approach of the earlier Escalades. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

raidtab on centos 4
by Peter Farrow 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi There, I re-installed Centos 4 on a box previously running x86 Solaris 10. After a reboot a got a BAD PBR SIG so I used rescue mode and grub to install a boot loader on each of my software-raided disks. Which works fine and allows me to boot ok. My question is, what happened to /etc/raidtab the machine boots ok and lists all the raid-1 devices I set up in the install (including the /boot partition) but there is no raidtab file. I tried using dmraid to take a look at the software RAID setup but it reports "No Software Raid" So my question is "what happened to mkraid commands and stuff like /etc/raidtab", /proc/mdstat reports fine...

centosplus and contrib rpms
by Farkas Levente 17 May '05

17 May '05

hi, it'd be useul if the centosplus and contrib directory can contain a small readme file or some kind of documentaion about the rpm inside. currently there is not any kind of such docs (ok johnny send a description about the kernel rpms, but if someone missed that email). eg the postfix rpm has the same description and changelog inside the rpm as the original ones. if someone just look into the ftp server then it'd be useful some kinf of docs. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

From: Richard Humphrey <rlhumphrey(a)gmail.com> > Thanks that did the trick Although nVidia does put people on the Freedomware "nv" driver, and it can handle multiple framebuffers for Xinerama, VIVO (video in, video out), etc..., the Standardware "nvidia" driver is far easier to deal with for single framebuffer (no Xinerama) multiple displays, VIVO, etc..., in addition to adding GLX (OpenGL over X11) support. -- Bryan Political Notes: nVidia actually released the GLX code for the GeForce series back in the XFree86 3.3.x days, and obscuficated some of the code provided by 3rd parties (Intel's AGP trade secrets, SGI and Microsoft patented OpenGL, etc...). Unfortunately the community quickly started reverting the obscuficated code to the formal identifiers and other blocks that the 3rd parties didn't like to see, and lawsuits were threatened. So nVidia decided that it would no longer provide such code on the GLX portion once XFree86 4.0 came out with the ability to use binary drivers. The kernel memory-AGP interface driver portions are largely Intel's trade secrets, although it seems that is actually going GPL as Intel no longer considers AGP a trade secret, and PCIe (PCI-Express) is a formal PCISG standard. ATI should be also commended for attempting to build a "clean room" DRI/GLX implementation. But as lack of resources to continue to "fork" mounted along with lagging performance, ATI had to follow in nVidia's footsteps by creating a closed-source, but standards-driven unified driver by withholding specifications as of the R300 series (Radeon 9500+). Just like nVidia, the "clean room" GLX work is still available, and might even work on newer GeForce/Radeon cards, but the newer features of those cards are not documented. Lastly, it should also be noted that Matrox also has closed source drivers as well. If there is an industry that Microsoft is poised to strike the hardest on patents, it's OpenGL. They've con'd most of the graphics companies into giving them non- exclusionary rights to them -- especially SGI, the inventor. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: Slashdot: "Could Microsoft buy Red Hat?" -- this is a joke made by the clueless

People who even suggest this only expose their *0* understanding of business. Microsoft has an alliance with Sun. Why? Because it was in Microsoft's interest to do so. Ever since Microsoft lost the right to Java code, .NET has fallen behind in many areas. They merely relicensed Java, and began other initiatives. Largely as customers demanded interoperability. Same deal here. Red Hat products are now entrenched in everything from defense to financial. Most customers are now demanding more interoperability with Linux. Red Hat, due to their commercial marketshare, is going to be one of Microsoft's major targets. They already have some channels with Novell, but virtually _none_ with Red Hat. Red Hat is firmly committed to 100% GPL. In fact, Red Hat made dozens upon dozens of millions of dollars in purchases of software they GPL'd just last year, let alone the amount of direct employment of core GCC, GLibC, Linux kernel and other developers -- far more than even IBM. The only thing that Red Hat has had to bite on is the trademark issue due to US trademark common law, ironically something that Sun -- more than any other company -- caused. People think of Red Hat in terms of Microsoft, and from an "exclusive contracts" viewpoint, they seem similar. But Red Hat is two companies -- the latter and, by far, the largest portion both expense and labor-wise -- is the largest collection if GPL-centric projects. Red Hat, much like the Cygnus entity it engulfed even when it was much smaller than Cygnus at the time, has made their entire software focus on GPL to the anal power. Red Hat knows should they ever change from that, they will lose everything -- especially mindshare. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Adding/Removing Headers with Sendmail
by Lee W 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi, I posted this query a few weeks ago but never received a response. I'm guessing that I didn't put things right, so here is another go. The company that I work for currently has email addresses in the format of:- firstname.surname.ext(a)example.com Which we use for various marketing campaigns (therefore the .ext bit is variable). Currently we have this setup as distribution lists with exchange so that any email that goes to this addressess goes both to the sales person and to a catch all mailbox which is then input into our systems. I was wondering if it would be possible so that when an email is received to this format of address it automatically determines where to send it as follows An email comes into joe.bloggs.sa...(a)example.com this then gets split so that it is delivered to joe.blo...(a)example.com and also s...(a)example.com. I think that i have figured out how to rewrite to the second address but how can I get it to send it to the new address as well. I was hoping there would be a way of doing this automatically so that we don't have to setup these addresses for every new starter and they apply on a global basis. Hopefully that explains better what I am after. Regards Lee

SpamAssassin - bayes: bayes db version 0 is not able to be used, aborting!

16 May '05

I am currently having a problem where my bayes DB appears to be version 0 over and over again. spamassassin --lint -D 2>&1 | grep bayes bayes: bayes db version 0 is not able to be used, aborting! at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pm line 160. I have SpamAssassin 3.0.3 installed: /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf contains: use_bayes 1 bayes_auto_learn 1 bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes Once an hour I run a shell script against one of my mailboxes (in mdir format): for * in file; do sa-learn -C /etc/mail/spamassassin --spam "$file" done However this seems to result in a version 0 database. Running sa-learn --sync will make --lint report a version 3 database is found (with 0 tokens), but the next time the sa-learn runs it reverts back to a version 0 database. Any ideas? -Mike

htaccess authentication asks for MySQL table test.user_info
by dan1 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hello. I tried to create an access file with 'htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/myfile.htaccess testuser'. In the SSL directory I have put a .htaccess file containing the followings: AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/myfile.htaccess AuthName "Mydomain" AuthType Basic require valid-user This worked with CentOS 3. Now with CentOS 4, apache version 2.0.52, the access to the page is forbidden. The ssl_error_log indicates this error: [Mon May 16 10:03:21 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] MySQL ERROR: Table 'test .user_info' doesn't exist: /myurl_to_ssl_address [Mon May 16 10:03:21 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] MySQL user testuser not fou nd: /myurl_to_ssl_address It's like if apache would make a MySQL query to find the user I specified, but in fact I expected apache to look into the /etc/httpd/conf/myfile.htaccess for that, and not in MySQL. Another person had the same problem lately. Here is the post: http://groups.google.ch/group/alt.apache.configuration/browse_frm/thread/9e… Does anybody have an idea of what happens there ?

Lock-up on Thinkpad on AC power restore
by Steve Snyder 15 May '05

15 May '05

Using the current kernel, 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL, my Thinkpad 600E locks up hard when transitioning from battery to AC power. When this happens my only recourse is to power-cycle the machine. There is no indication in the system log of this event when the machine comes back up. Today I caught the event in the act. While the machine was booting, the AC power failed (bad storm here). The machine continued the boot process on battery power for several seconds. Then the AC power was restored and the machine locked up in mid-action. The apmd driver had not yet loaded yet so it can't be blamed for the lock-up. Previous to installing CentOS4 I had RHL v9 on this machine. In that environment the cycling of power from AC to battery back to AC caused only a few notes in the system log. Can anyone shed some light on how I can avoid the machine locking up on AC power restoration? Thanks.

Centos 4 / Postfix / SMTP

I've just installed Centos 4 on an Acer G310 server - everything's gone well except I'm not able to SMTP connect to my upstream mail server (I've installed postfix + MailScanner) - I managed to find sort out the dovecot side of things but SMTP remains quite silent - the maillog shows an attempted connect but then a timeout: May 9 13:08:45 woking postfix/smtp[7895]: deliver_request_final: send: "connect to mailhost.zen.co.uk[212.23.3.98]: Connection timed out" -1 If I connect manually (telnet mailhost.zen.co.uk 25) nothing happens - no response is shown and I presume if I left things for long enough I'd see a timeout message?

Time issues
by John Hinton 14 May '05

Here's the bootup log area from a CentOS 4 box, fully updated. Seems to start into the US eastern time zone properly, but then it set's itself back to I think UTC after the filesystem check. May 14 14:49:12 visit1 fsck: /var1: recovering journal May 14 14:49:16 visit1 fsck: /var1: clean, 10074/4227072 files, 798409/8445596 blocks May 14 14:49:16 visit1 rc.sysinit: Checking filesystems succeeded May 14 10:49:16 visit1 rc.sysinit: Mounting local filesystems: succeeded May 14 10:49:17 visit1 rc.sysinit: Enabling local filesystem quotas: succeeded May 14 10:49:17 visit1 rc.sysinit: Enabling swap space: succeeded This is on a Compaq Proliant 1850.. Never seen this before on any previous versions of Redhat? Very odd. Any ideas? It is causing lots of grief, particular with FTP operations. Best, John Hinton

Is there a command in CentOS4 or some small program to display a short message everywhere possible on a box much like # shutdown -k now "Display me where I'll be seen", but without the added (normal) stuff? xmessage would probably be usable if it had an -onalldesktops option. BTW, the purpose is to add a visual to the scripts I have in place to remind me to connect my external USB drive late Tuesday, disconnect it early Wednesday (after backup) and keep it out of the reach of "Murphy" for the rest of the week.

Hi all, Wondering if this might be a good item for either CentOSPlus or even Extras repository. I've been looking for a decent CD/DVD burner for Gnome.... at present I load up k3b (KDE app) and thus much of the KDE environment). Someone pointed me to GraveMan (http://www.nongnu.org/graveman/ ) which looks very good. All reports is that it's lean, mean and quite stable. Anyone else using it and is it worthy of placing in the repository? Cheers, Matt.

List of users on system
by Lee W 13 May '05

13 May '05

Hey All, Does anyone know of a way of getting a list of all the users on a system though PAM. I know that I could just list the /etc/passwd file but I'm trying to write something that is more generic and will also work for NIS or LDAP (etc) lookups. I suppose it is probably unlikely to be there as it is probably a security risk. I need to globally update the password aging settings (which I can do though chage/passwd) on existing accounts.

I have had my server freeze twice (under moderate load) and give the same error in my /var/log/messages. Or, if it is not related, does anyone have any ideas what might be causing my server to freeze (hard reboot needed to bring it back up).

firstboot? CentOS 3.4
by Ken Godee 13 May '05

13 May '05

What's the best way around "firstboot" ? "firstboot" hung my machine and had to blown it up to get past it. If you bypass firstboot, what other config settings is one missing? I found the following info.... ==================================================================== # Booting without Internet Connection / Stuck on RedHat Registration during First Bootup This problem is caused by a package called firstboot. This package runs during the first boot of the machine to do some additional configurations that require your input. While most of these configuration tasks do not require a network connection, the Registration section does. The following steps will turn off firstboot: 1. Reboot your machine 2. When the grub screen displays, hightlight the line to boot RedHat Enterprise and type "e" 3. Next Hightlight the line that starts with kernel type "e" 4. Add " -s" to the end of the line and press <Enter> key. 5. Type "b" 6. Once the machine finishes booting you should have a root shell prompt that looks like sh-2.05# 7. At the shell prompt, type: chkconfig --del firstboot 8. Finally, type shutdown -r now which will reboot your machine ==================================================================== While at the console prompt should one also just uninstall the rhn-applet rpm as well? Maybe I missed some notes somewhere on this or just shouldn't worry about it and just bomb around it?????? I also noticed right after installing and logging in level 5 that it seemed that after choosing to log out, that it wouldn't log out. There appeared to be the rhn-applet running in the background holding things up. Maybe I'm just hallucinating, I've installed 3.x several times now and don't remember running into this, or have forgotten.

centos + kswapd0 error
by mbeltran＠americatel.com.sv 13 May '05

Hi all I have a box with Centos 4 and qmail with all pathches. since Last month i have had twice the same problem. The process kswapd0 uses all my resources of CPU and RAM memory and the consequence is that my local queue grow up and the box go slow too. The first time i guess the problem was the version of the kernel, so i did an upgrade form kernel.i686 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL to kernel.i686 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL apparently the problem was solved but today the problem came again. The following snapshot shows the situation: top - 10:53:48 up 16 days, 20:05, 1 user, load average: 119.27, 116.16, 114.33 Tasks: 528 total, 13 running, 515 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 5.4% us, 89.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.3% id, 4.8% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.1% si Mem: 2075012k total, 2073404k used, 1608k free, 71056k buffers Swap: 4192924k total, 4192924k used, 0k free, 36380k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 60 root 17 0 0 0 0 D 75.4 0.0 585:22.79 kswapd0 2164 root 15 0 1736 484 432 S 31.0 0.0 31:57.07 couriertcpd 16334 vpopmail 19 0 2660 804 668 R 24.7 0.0 0:01.69 imapd 2158 root 15 0 3264 488 432 S 23.4 0.0 1:17.51 couriertcpd 32608 apache 16 0 21604 8440 3016 R 15.5 0.4 1:38.09 httpd 15284 vpopmail 18 0 4384 1032 760 R 14.9 0.0 0:08.32 vdelivermail I really do not know what thing should i do for solve this problem thanks in advance Mario

Re: [CentOS] Re: About strongs passwords! -- PAM
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 13 May '05

From: Paul Heinlein <heinlein(a)madboa.com> > Can you comment on any of the smart-card hardware that you've used? Actually, given the occupation I just switched back to last month, I'd better not right now (I'm still "testing the waters" on what disclosure is allowable). I've used them in 2 industries -- defense and financial -- but there's no reason why many others can't. The priniciples to SmartCards are pretty simple. You send in a public key encrypted information (typically a symmetric key or maybe a challenge string), you get the information out. Then you can use that information as appropriate. The SmartCard is used only for 1 small operation on the _client_ for the user. (although you can also use them on the server too, for the services). And via PAM, you can route all sorts of authentication through it. I'll send you some links when I have time early next week (I'm on the road / in the air all weekend starting in a few minutes). There are a lot of more "consumer" SmartCard capabilities out there, nothing of which I've used personally. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
