If CentOS changes its release policy, I might use a completely different Linux distribution like Debian. A existance of a clone of a so-called prominent linux distribution vendor is very important, I think. Regards.

Re: [Centos] no kernel upgrade on 3.3

Dave, Is there a new kernel available for the X64 platform? Can you see this in the repo? It might explain why it hasn't upgraded. The i386 may have been the only updated kernel...

Poll: what features are you lusting for in v4
by Troy Engel 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

While we're waiting on the keebler elves to make the new CentOS 4, what feature(s) are you most lusting after in RHEL/CentOS 4? For me: - official Mysql 4!!! (man does this make me happy) - official Subversion ..are my top two, they will make me a happy camper for so many projects. :) Sure sure the 2.6 kernel is nice, but that super-patched 2.4 kernel on v3 seems to work quite well too... -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

ProFTP -> vsFTP Configuration Options
by Forrest Samuels 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

I am moving from a server from running Red Hat 7.2 (with ProFTP) to Centos 3 (with vsFTP). There is a setting in ProFTP that lets me set the default ftp login directory for a specific user and I would like to do the same with vsFTP. The reason being is I have a 'webadmin' user that I use for uploading web content. I am thinking I could make the home directory of the webadmin /var/www in the /etc/passwd file but I would rather it just be for FTP and leave the login home as /home/webadmin. In ProFTP this was set in /etc/proftpd.conf like so: DefaultRoot / webadmin DefaultChdir /var/www webadmin Does anyone know how I can do that? I would like the settings for the other users to work as they are now. I have been looking at chroot_list_enable, and chroot_list_file files but I don't think that is quite what I am looking for (They are both commented out by default). I may be wrong. Thank you for any help! -Forrest

Yup, I've already been chastised for this once on the list (did you miss that post?) and I apologized privately via e-mail to the person who pointed out my mistake. I guess that's not enough, so, for you, and everyone else: I'm sorry. It won't happen again. BTW, thanks for the feedback I did get on 9i and 10g installations on CentOS. Are there any Apps 11.5.x lurkers out there, or has nobody actually tried this? I intend to at least attempt it and will post an update (in a _new_ thread) with my findings.

upgrade FC3 -> CentOS-4.0-Beta
by Terrel Shumway 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

I have two boxes I want to upgrade hedwig is in a DC in Texas so I have no physical access. installed RHEL-3.1 adhoc upgrades with WBEL-3.1 packages (before I discovered yum and apt-rpm) dist upgrade to FC2 using apt-rpm rock-sand is a local development box installed FC3 on one partition installed FC2 on one partition I want to get both machines running CentOS 4.0 rock-sand is my practice machine, so I want to pretend I don't have physical access. In CentOS-3.4-Server.iso there is a pkgorder.txt with a list of the packages in (I assume) the order they should be upgraded. But there is no such file in the CentOS-4.0 distribution. Should I just use the same order but with the new version numbers? What issuses has anyone had with the move to udev?

Funny, I was _just_ working on this. There are two issues that I encountered, the first being the one above and Google helped to resolve both. To correct your immediate issue, add default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc to the [libdefaults] section of /etc/krb5.conf Additionally, to get ssh access working I needed to disable the use of privileged separation for sshd. The problem in my case is that pam_mkhomedir.so needs root access to create the home directories if they don't exist. The way I've done it makes sshd a little less secure so I'm open to other suggestions... /etc/ssh/sshd_config -- UsePrivilegeSeparation no The information in my log files before the change was -- /var/log/secure Feb 15 11:23:29 prodlnx01 sshd[7990]: Accepted password for [username] from [host] port 32781 ssh2 Feb 15 11:23:29 prodlnx01 sshd[7992]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[6]: Permission denied And /var/log/messages Feb 15 11:23:29 prodlnx01 sshd(pam_unix)[7990]: check pass; user unknown Feb 15 11:23:29 prodlnx01 sshd(pam_unix)[7990]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=[host] Feb 15 11:23:29 prodlnx01 pam_winbind[7990]: user '[username]' granted access Feb 15 11:23:29 prodlnx01 sshd(pam_unix)[7992]: session opened for user [username] by (uid=10327) -- Marc

Red Hat Legal Targets www.centos.org website content
by donavan nelson 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

To squelch the questions (related to the changing content on www.centos.org) I decided this needs to be published. The CentOS Team has been contacted by representatives of Red Hat's hired legal team regarding the use of Red Hat Trademarks on www.centos.org. (Full Email follows.) While the CentOS team feels we are using Red Hat's marks in a fair and legal manner, we have no choice but to eliminate the majority of the Red Hat marks that are being used on www.centos.org. So over the next few days, we will be cleansing the CentOS website of Red Hat marks and/or possible marks. If you encounter any errors please take a moment to point then out via a comment here or catch donavan in #centos-web on irc.freenode.net. At this point and going forward the CentOS project is not in any jeopardy. We have a strong group of committed developers and are growing like crazy. CentOS 4 is just around the corner; the future is brighter than ever. Read the rest here: http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=66

Re: Red Hat Legal Targets www.centos.org website content
by Rick Graves 15 Feb '05

Dag, I think you are taking what RedHat Legal says too literally. Yes, they SAY this is about confusion, but I do not think it is really about confusion. This is about their trademark rights (not covered by the GPL) and what they can do to enhance their revenue flow -- make it harder for the public to know more about the advantages of CentOS. > It's hard to discuss this without knowing what happened exactly after > the > letter was received, but I would have send out a reply asking for > concrete examples and rationale. So I think asking for concrete examples and rationale are not likely to help, as asking for this will not cause RedHat to back down from enfocing their trademark rights -- because of the "real reasons".

(Not news-items or general blog-entries) You can find it here: https://wiki.caosity.org/tiki-index.php?page=CentOS+in+the+Media If you remember another insightful article that's missing, please add it.

Hi, Am running CentOS with plesk 7.5.1 and get this error trying to use the updater in Plesk which updates Plesk plus adds dependencies that Plesk might need: Preparing for packages installation... ----- begin of output ----- Installing perl-CGI-2.81-88.7.i386.rpm warning: /root/psa/PSA_7.5.2/RHel3_std.updates/perl-CGI-2.81-88.7.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Apache.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Carp.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Cookie.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Fast.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Pretty.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Push.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Switch.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art file /usr/share/man/man3/CGI::Util.3pm.gz from install of perl-CGI-2.81-88.7 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.5-9.rhel3.art ----- end of output ----- ===> Autoinstaller: stopped logging at Fri Feb 11 14:24:22 2005 I have found out that when I did a perl update I inadvertantly updated with a third-party listing that was in my yum.conf file the broke some dependencies which I have disabled.

CentOS CPU Temperature - Mini-HowTo
by Seth Bardash 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

Ok, Way too many requests. SO..... here's my Mini How-To. Use of this is at your own risk, Blah Blah Blah legal disclaimer applies..... ;-) Download from either: http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ or http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/i2c-2.8.7.tar.gz http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/i2c-2.9.0.1.patch http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/i2c-2.9.0.tar.gz http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/lm_sensors-2.8.7.tar.gz http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/lm_sensors-2.9.0.tar.gz WARNING: We have not finished testing 2.9.0 and there seems to be a few bugs there. So we recommend downloading the 2.8.7 files above.... NEXT: un-tar.gz the files to directories in home go to your kernel source directory: edit Makefile to read the same as the installed kernel (uname -r) (delete the word "custom" at the end of the line: EXTRAVERSION = -27.0.2.Elcustom) run make mrproper run make oldconfig run make dep run make clean The above sets up the kernel source so you can build and install the i2c and lm sensors drivers correctly. cd to i2c directory under /home run make clean run make all run make install cd to lm sensors directory under /home run make clean run make all run make install do an extra depmod -a (just in case :) ) ignore any unresolved symbols messages if you get them run sensors-detect and read the outputs carefully test the lines that the sensors-detect script tells you to add to rc.local one at a time to make sure the appropriate drivers load successfully. If they do you're all set. Next: Just add the lines required to /etc/modules.conf and /etc/rc.d/rc.local and reboot. Your i2c and lm sensors stuff will start at power up. You can test the output with the sensors command. You might want to look in the /home/lmsensors ( cd /home; find . -name "sensors*.*" ) directories for the newer sensors.conf file and copy it to /etc. Modify the new one to give you the output you want. Here is a script that we use when doing burn-in on our systems to monitor the time they have been running and the latest temps - we test under full load using cpuburn-1.4. #! /bin/csh # temp display shell script # ISSLLC sab 3/04 echo "" echo "Starting" echo "" @ counter_s = 0 @ minutes = 0 @ hrs = 0 echo "Burn Time = $hrs hrs $minutes mins $counter_s secs" echo "" while (1) sensors | grep emp sleep 10 echo "" @ counter_s += 10 if($counter_s == 60) then @ counter_s = 0 @ minutes += 1 if($minutes == 60) then @ minutes = 0 @ hrs += 1 endif endif echo "Burn Time = $hrs hrs $minutes mins $counter_s secs" end echo "I'm Done..." After its all working properly, have a drink and say "thanks Integrated Solutions" ;-) Let me know if this was helpful.

CPU temperature?
by Johnn Tan 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

Has anyone gotten lm_sensors to work on a CentOS3.3/RHEL3 box? I think I'm having CPU temperature-related problems, and wanted some way to monitor it. I believe lm_sensors does this, but can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. I already did "yum install lm_sensors" but when I run sensors-detect, it complains: Couldn't open /proc/bus/i2c?!? at /usr/sbin/sensors-detect line 2970, <STDIN> line 3. I googled around, but there appear to be more questions than answers. I'd appreciate any help. FYI, this CentOS3.3 server is remotely managed.managed. johnn

GPG Sig Error with CUPS
by Ed Morrison 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

Hi Everyone, Sorry to post right out of the gate but I'm having problems running yum upgrade on a new centos 3.4 install. I performed a minimal install of centos, this means I did a custom install but unchecked everything including cups. Error tells me to clean or rm the file...tried both to no avail. Anyone else run into this issue? How do I get beyond it? The exact error is: Downloading Packages warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b Error: Could not find the GPG Key necessary to validate pkg /var/cache/yum/update/packages/cups-1.1.17-13.3.24.i386.rpm Error: You may want to run yum clean or remove the file: /var/cache/yum/update/packages/cups-1.1.17-13.3.24.i386.rpm Error: You may also check that you have the correct GPG keys installed Thank you for your assistance.

SATA Raid - final
by Nigel Kendrick 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Thanks for all the advice on setting up software RAID with SATA drives - especially to Morten Tormoen for the information on speeding up the re-sync. I have now had time to go back to the machine and start again: I now have one 300GB SATA drive on the motherboard controller and one on the PCI card and they're currently re-syncing at 48445K/Sec and will be done in 90 mins - a big improvement on 250kB/sec!!!

help with xargs and mv
by James B. Byrne 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

I am trying to move a group of sendmail queue files into a special area and am developing s script to assist. The manual steps are: # Identify which messages to move mailq -qR<domain> > file1 # Select only lines with message ID strings grep '^[[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]]\{13\}' file1 > file2 # extract only the messages ID cut -b -14 file2 > file3 # prepend '*' to message IDs sed "s/^/\*/" file3 > file4 All of this works the way that I expect. What I now want to do is to mv all of the related files listed in file4 in the form "*messageid" to another directory. Using xargs I expected (naively) that the following construction would work: cat file4 | xargs mv /var/spool/mqueue/'{}' \ /var/spool/mqueue/offline (note that in the original this is all one line.) However, when I do this I get the error: mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory Try `mv --help' for more information. There is obviously something about xargs that I do not understand. In my imagination I see this xargs construction expanding to this: mv /var/spool/mqueue/*messageid1 /var/spool/mqueue/offline mv /var/spool/mqueue/*messageid2 /var/spool/mqueue/offline . . . mv /var/spool/mqueue/*messageidn /var/spool/mqueue/offline so that the qf and df files for each message are moved into the subdirectory offline. But this is obviously incorrect. Can anyone here point out to me what my misunderstanding is and how to get this to work? If this is not the forum for this kind of question then can someone with more experience point me to a mailing list that would be more suitable?
