OT: Which programming language should I use?
by Benjamin J. Weiss 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Sorry for the OT post, just looking for a pointer from somebody who's been there and done that. I'm looking to write a program that will allow for managing documents that have been encrypted with AES. I want the program to be as cross-platform as possible, so at the least it needs to run in Win2K/WinXP and in linux X-windows (X.org). Now, I used to write in Java a few years ago, so I guess that's an option. My concerns are that back then Java was slow, and I don't know if there's an easy-to-use cross-platform crypto library for Java. I've seen at least one program that was written in python and Tkinter on the web that offers the source for running in linux, and they offer a .exe download. (http://www.axware.nl) I don't know how they do it, but I saw a claim on the web that python/Tkinter was a great cross-platform combo. The idea is that the user will type in a passphrase and the program will grab the file and either display it (if simple, like text) or launch another program (like pdf). I'll also need to figure out how to tell the program not to swap the memory to disk Any ideas? Thanks! Ben

Benjamin, Although Andrew is totally biased, Python does run well on Linux, Windows and the Mac. Python is hot! http://www.strombergers.com/python/perl_ha_ha_ha.html Rick

Secure server install
by Håvard Hebnes 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try. When I do a minimum install of Centos, which default users should I delete (users that won't be needed on a server) It will be used for webhosting, mail, sql.. And, what partitions would you advice me to create? /root, /tmp, swap, /... should I have more? /Håvard

Hello My company is changing server software to CentOS on Dell equipment. At the same time we are expanding our RAID system from standard SCSI to either SATA, or the technology brought forward by Coraid using the AoE protocol. Before we take the final decision I am looking for some real experience with Coraid products on a scale of 30+ disks. We will be using a cluster of four servers with a mix of RAID10 and RAID5. Does anyone have any experience into this area Regards Eiliv Haugland Net2Work

RAID card recommendation

Hey all, After seeing the horrible lack of support for Promise cards in Redhat Enterprise/CentOS, I am looking for a recommendation for a good IDE RAID controller that is supported out of the box (i.e. I would prefer not to have to install via a driver disk). I would prefer ATA 133 over Serial ATA for now. Thanks! Sean

[Fwd: problems with ppp]
by Michiel van Es 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hi, I installed CentOS 3.3 and kept the machine up2date. I installed poptop and the newest ppp-cvs version ( ppp-2.4.3-0.cvs_20040527.6) We are running a ssh + ppp tunnel for our internet tunnel/tunnel to our NOC. After the upgrade we see these error messages while starting the tunnel: Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24 Jan 24 15:00:42 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21 I googled and found that we have to add some aliases,like so: /etc/modules.conf: alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp #alias ppp-compress-21 off alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate But still after a pppd restart the problem persists (ppp failes and reconnects) ..am I a missing a package or do I have to do another thing to enable these modules? I can find the .c files: [root@natgw etc]# locate bsd_comp /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers/net/bsd_comp.c but not the modules (.o files) Thanks for your help. -- Kind Regards,

Re: Changing booted Kernel with grub

Just another note regarding SMP kernel. I've never had an issue, and am currently running dual XEON 2.4's. Well, I've had issue with kernel upgrades and the megaraid2 driver, but that seems to be a result of Dell's dkms enabled driver setup, rather than the kernel itself. Ben

Changing booted Kernel with grub
by Wayne Bastow 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Hi, I have updated the kernel to 2.4.21-27.0.2 on Centos 3.4 (was 3.3 when I did the kernel update) and have modified grub.conf to use the single CPU kernel: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p6 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0 default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.2.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.img title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.img title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.1.EL) ....... I then created a new symbolic link for Sytem.map in /boot to point to System.map-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL. When I reboot the 2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp is used and System.map has been changed to point to the smp kernel. Is there a step I'm missing out? BTW, the upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 using yum seems to have worked - I'm running Oracle on the server. Thanks, Wayne

RHEL question
by Steve Meyers 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

I work for a small company, and we're running CentOS on our servers. We are looking to possibly move our most critical servers to RHEL. We currently use apt to deploy software upgrades to our servers. I have a question about RHEL subscriptions that they don't seem to be able to answer for me. If you have an RHEL subscription, do you have access to manually download the RPMs? We would prefer to deploy upgrades using apt instead of up2date, for consistency, but we need to know whether we can even do that on RHEL. Thanks! Steve Meyers

Error when updating centos-3.3 to 3.4
by Bart Schaefer 25 Jan '05

The following error appeared and I'm wondering if it's important enough to file a bug report: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8817: line 2: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: command not found error: %postun(librsvg2-2.2.3-2) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Also /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet.rpmnew got created; the difference is that the uuid has changed from a hex key to "UNSPECIFIED". I don't recall where that hex key came from -- was it in a previous CentOS release, or could it have come from an RHN signup at some other time?

CentOS Release Lifeline
by Fred Whipple 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Hi all, The usual apologies if this has been answered; I didn't see the answer anywhere on the site or googleing the archives... Since CentOS is a RHEL rebuild (and this is brilliant!), does that imply that CentOS will continue to provide security patches and bug fixes so long as Red Hat continues to release them for a given version of RHEL? That's to say that Red Hat commits to 5 years of updates for any given version of RHEL. Will CentOS benefit for those same 5 years? I ask because Scientific Linux commits (or, plans) to support 3 years after a release. Thanks in advance! -Fred

Upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0 beta X
by Michael Taylor 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Please forgive me if I missed something, but I've searched all over in hopes of finding something documented on a procedure to upgrade a Centos 3.4 system to the beta. I've got the DVD burned and am testing the process on VMWare. All I could figure out how to do was install over the existing partition without formatting, but this was quasi-disastrous so I 'reverted' my VMWare drive to the prior state. Is there some way to reconfigure yum.conf, GPG keys, etc. so that it will pull down the changes? Or, is there a way to 'upgrade' the system using the CD as a source? Any help would be appreciated. I was hoping it was as simple as the upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4, but I couldn't find anything out there. Thanks, Mike

Re: CentOS 3.4 Single CD "Server" version
by Rick Graves 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hey, Lance mentioned yum group install. This yum group capability makes the "server" CD's more versatile than the name implies -- you only need a broadband connection to get any kind of CentOS install you want. Start with a minimal install off the CD, and then use the yum group install to conveniently get the same install you could get off the 3 CD set (only more up to date).

It seems that part of the motivation for the single CD is to promote CentOS. Toward that end, it might be good to emphasize that the "server" single CD can be used to install desktop, workstation and custom CentOS systems, too. Thank you, Lance.

Not the answer your looking for, but I think I remember reading on another list that these cards are not true hardware RAID and they are simple IDE controllers with BIOS and drivers to do software RAID. It might be worth just using the Linux software RAID as this should work with no problems.

in CentOS 3.4, mod_auth_ldap ?
by David McDowell 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I'm coming from FC3 and moving to CentOS 3.4. I have been using mod_auth_ldap for some time now with Apache 2.x and authenticating to my Microsoft ADS without problems, here's my article on how that worked: http://www.turnpike420.net/linux/Apache_ADS_AuthLDAP.txt However, I have come to find out that CentOS 3.4 only comes with mod_authz_ldap and when I did some reading on it, doesn't seem like it will work with M ADS at all. Any thoughts on how I can get mod_auth_ldap (not authz) functional with my CentOS 3.4 and where to get it?? thanks, David McD

Does anyone have this card working in hardware RAID mode? I can see the individual ATA drivers when booting. The promise site has drivers for Redhat 7.3,8 and 9, but nothing for higher. I see the source code, and can build the module, but I need it loaded at boot time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Sean

Attention on U4: authd+cron=kernel panic
by Matus Hrusovsky 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

Those who havent try centos 3.4 on production servers should really read this before: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143866 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126679 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=141996 Beware of using laus/auditd with programs running from cron. For example runnig fetchmail from crontab can cause kernel panic, any user who can use cron is able to initiate system crash. Problem is in auditd which was added in U4 and is turned ON default, turn it OFF after install and you will get runnig systems. I havent try it with new kernel. Good luck.

I've sent test emails from testvirus.org but they don't appear to be getting flagged. I don't see anything in the logs to indicate they were. Is there a sure-fire way to know? Also, how should the clamd work? Does it watch the filesystem? Or will it only work on a scan? -- <<JAV>>
