VMWare problems on CentOS 3.3 x86-64
by Rob Beard 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can help with a problem I'm having getting VMWare to work on CentOS 3.3 (x86-64). I recently downloaded VMWare workstation 4.5 (not sure of exact version number but its the latest version as of yesterday). I was hoping to run CentOS as my main OS and then use VMWare to still support Windows XP machines and run the couple of applications which refuse to work properly under Wine. I installed the RPM okay, ran the configuration script fro VMWare, however when it comes to running VMware I get a message about a missing libaray - "ld- linux.so.2". I did a search on the hard disk and couldn't find it. I also couldn't find an RPM package (either source or binary) to install. Everything else on CentOS seems to be going okay, its really fast compared to Suse 9.1 which I was running previously (not sure if thats because I'm running a 64-bit OS or that CentOS doesn't have as much running at once?). Could anyone suggest how I can get this library? Regards, Rob

Kernel Panic on New Kernel Package
by Joshua Strzalko 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hey all, I have a P4 2.4 GHz CPU (hyper threading) and have been using the 2.4.21-20.EL.c0smp kernel and it works perfectly. I installed the new kernel-smp (2.4.21-20.0.1.EL) kernel and it installed flawlessly. However, every time I boot I get a kernel panic and I must reboot to the older kernel. The error I am getting is: (it seems to be failing on jbd.o and ext3.o) Kernel requires old insmod, but couldn't run /bin/insmod.old No such file or directory Then it can't find the initrd and Panics. I am running a single partition on my software RAID1, the file system is ext3.

Firewire drive support in CentOS 3.3?
by Steve Dussinger 09 Dec '04

I just recently downloaded and installed the CentOS 3.3 release, and I'm having a bit of a problem... It appears that no support for firewire drives has been included. I am unable to find the ohci1394 or sbp2 modules anywhere. Are there other packages which must be installed from the distribution to get firewire devices to be recognized? Thanks. --Steve

*very* raw script for a new email server
by Benjamin J. Weiss 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

All, I'm putting up a new email server, but I can't afford downtime when I switch servers. So, I've been writing a script that will take a CentOS install and turn it into a secure email server with Spam Assassin, Amavis-new, ClamAV and external relay using SASL authentication. The script is still *very* raw, and I'm relatively new to bash script writing. I still have some areas of work to do: - I need to incorporate the "alternatives" command to switch from sendmail to postfix, instead of using the redhat-switch-mail and changing it via gui. - I need to figure out how to automate the certificate generation. Right now I still have to type in a password at the prompt, as well as hit <enter> to accept the defaults - Some of my sed commands are kludgy. I'm still learning the ins and outs of sed - I have *no* idea whether or not Vipul's Razor is working or not. - I need to fix the yum "extras" section. - I need to improve the iptables handling. Anyway, if you guys'd like to take a look and make comments, I'm open to suggestions and whatnot. It's at: http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/mail-server.sh Thanks! Ben

Re: [Centos] confession

Beau, Most everything you could need to know is in the man pages for yum. If you have specific questions not answered by the man pages, please feel free to ask me for my experiences, Seth (who wrote the thing so should be able to answer *anything* about it), or the list. I'm actually a Debian developer myself, but we're using CentOS at work, and I find yum quite comfortable (and a good deal less complex than apt for setting up and maintaining local repositories). I've recently implemented the use of the yumgroups.xml file to define groups of packages for installation on different classes of machines. It works very well (provided you make sure that all the important files are actually readable!).

Apache
by Joe Polk 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Okay, I'm curious. I just installed CentOS 3.3 and did an update with YUM. I want to run Apache so I first checked to see if it's installed with rpm -q apache. Nada. Yet, in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d I see K15httpd. So I moved that to S15httpd and started it up. It's up. Goto the default page and it's running. So....if it's not showing up in rpm queries, how is/was it installed? -- <<JAV>>

GFS 6.0.2-12
by John Newbigin 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

GFS 6.0.2-12 is now available for CentOS-3. This version has some small fixes is but is mostly just to support the new CentOS-3 kernel. The files are available from my site here: http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/RHGFS/ Tips for updating: Because the dependencies are a bit screwed (thanks to RH), it is probably easiest to do rpm -U http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/RHGFS/GFS-6.0.2-12.c3.1.i386.rpm --nodeps before updating the rest. If you want to use yum, chuck this into your yum.conf for now: [gfs] name=CentOS-3 GFS baseurl=http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/RHGFS/ gpgcheck=0 Watch out for /etc/sysconfig/gfs being replaced by the new GFS package. Your old version should be renamed to .rpmorig John. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.it.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin

The spec file is still changed to remove reference to Red Hat but the release level is left unchanged. This is just one more little step towards our aim of full compatibility ... To update to this new kernel version run yum update (assuming you havent modified the yum configuration to not update kernels) Then you will need to reboot the machine to use the new kernel. Lance

Local mirrors and ISP transfer bills
by Ed Clarke 04 Dec '04

04 Dec '04

As a matter of policy and because I'm at the end of a DS/1 that needs to feed my customers needs, I've set up a local subset mirror of Centos 3.3. It's a subset because I don't copy any of the x86_64 directories ( no machines that use them ) but it's also a superset because I've added an additional "local" directory structure that contains things that I need - amavis, clamav etc. I can do "yum install amavisd-new" from any of my servers and have yum install or update the packages that are needed. The advantage for everyone in doing this is that I don't have to use up my DS/1 bandwidth for installs or updates of multiple machines and the mirrors don't get hit with a dozen requests for the same file from one location. (I was quite annoyed when the updated yum package wanked up my custom yum.conf) An additional benefit to me is that updates to my real customer servers go at a hundred megabit rate rather than the time it'd take to suck down a new kernel or openoffice through a DS/1. I'd like to recommend that everyone with some kind of server farm do this. The local mirror doesn't have to be wonderful - mine is a 200mhz PPro machine built out of junked parts - all it has to do is serve FTP. You'll save money in the long run and reduce the cost to the donated mirrors. Someone pays for the bandwidth, one way or the other.

I recommend vsftp because 1) I assume RedHat had good reasons for choosing it, and 2) you have RedHat supporting it.

Hi, Does anyone have a recommendation for an outside security consulting firm? The one that my company used went under a few years ago. I've been managing everything since then, but I don't have that much time and I'd like to get an "expert" opinion. Thanks, Ajay

File permission

30 Nov '04

Hello all, I think my file permission are completely screwed up? I created a file called text file called test as root user and have done chgrp on that file to a group called admin. I have added the users ozzie and root to that group. I then did a chmod g+wr on the test file and ozzie can still not write to the file. If I take away read access from the group, ozzie can still read the file. The group permissions have no effect what so ever. If you add or take away permissions from the other permissions, that will effect the test file. What did I do wrong? Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks all. Dominic

Michael, CentOS works fine on Pentium 2's. Many in the world are junking Pentium 2's nowadays, so you can upgrade for very little. Also, in my experience, they tend to be reliable. Rick

I can see it being a web commerce site in a box, but other that that the thing is a boat anchor. Their Dlink switches are absolute garbage, after 9 upgrades I only have to reboot them once a month now. We tried the OEM Cisco switch, they gave me bad hardware, since their support people didn't know a frame from a packet they were unable to resolve it. Finally we sent the Cisco's back. Our rep finally tells us they are coming out with ethernet pass through, which we purchased. I pray that these work. The management station hangs about once every 2 months as well. Then only thing I have ever come across that compares to this POS is Sun's E10k, the memory latency rendered it useless as well. I am also perplexed how many people got sucked in on these, they where ripped to shreds on slash dot, the over subscription with 4 ports is more than 3 to 1, and qos is only of any use up to 4 queues with the Notrel hardware. Also their ROI numbers are a joke, ( I am not even considering the 150 or so man hours to get it to work at all, at 125$ a pop that pays for 4 loaded 345's) once you add the whole enchillada up, it is much cheaper to use 345's even with 14 blades in a chassis. I also have a hard time putting anything critical on a box that uses Toshiba laptop hard drives and doesn't have serial console. I guess if one doesn't need serial consoles, and real local disk IO and network IO is may be a good solution, but to me its a boat anchor. Sorry for ranting, but I needed this, just got off a bloody battle with a moron vendor who had no clue what a don't fragment flag is. They rolled out a whole bunch of Solaris patches that appear to hard code the DF flag to set.

IDLE still broken
by Rick Graves 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hey, Sure enough, IDLE 1.0.3 came with Python 2.3, but the update did not fix my problem. I found a entry in RedHat's bugzilla, "Inconsistent input from numeric pad when numlock off", bug 136600. I put one in on SourceForge (where Python bugs are tracked) under IDLE, "input from numeric pad always dropped when numlock off", # 1074333. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136600 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1074333&group_id=… I am still coding Python on my Windows box.

Re: python dependency solution
by Rick Graves 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

Hey, It seems to be OK just to install python 2.3 via rpm. (So my idea was not so "off the wall" after all.) Since Seth's reply here indicated that my idea was an option, I decided to try it first on a test system. When I got to the rpm download page at www.python.org, I found an FAQ exactly on point: begin quote Q) Is it safe to install these RPMs on a Red Hat system? Will they over-write the system python and cause problems with other Red Hat applications that expect a different version of Python? A) The RPMs that start with "python2.3" are built to not interfere with the system Python. They install as "/usr/bin/python2.3" and will not conflict with the system Python unless you are running on a system that ships the a version of Python which has the same major/minor number. To invoke the interpreter with these packages, you will explicitly have to run "python2.3". Note that all Python RPMs provided by Python.org and Red Hat provide a "/usr/bin/python2.3" (or similar, with major/minor number), even if they also provide "/usr/bin/python". So, yes, it should be safe. end quote http://www.python.org/2.3.4/rpms.html This must have come up before, and Guido has already worked out the details. Rick

package dependency problem
by Rick Graves 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Post Turkey Day (#1 Shopping Day) Greetings! I am running CentOS-3 as a desktop distribution. Everything is fine except for Idle, the integrated development environment that comes with Python. Python is version 2.2, but Idle is version 0.8. The Idle 0.8 keyboard is driving me nuts. On my Windows box, I downloaded from www.python.org and installed Python, and got Python 2.3 and Idle 1.0.8, which is MUCH BETTER -- so much better, even for code intended to be run only in Linux, I would much rather code Python in Windows! Fedora comes with Python 2.3. I have my own CentOS mirror, so I added a fedora mirror on the side, and I used rsync to grab only the python files from fedora mirrors. I ran yum check-update. As a result, yum downloaded all the headers and reported no problems. But when I ran yum update, yum balked, giving a list of packages that are dependent on python2.2, "that is not available". The packages listed are: authconfig-gtk comps-extras firstboot redhat-config-date redhat-config-keyboard redhat-config-kickstartrhpl redhat-config-language redhat-config-mouse redhat-config-nfs redhat-config-rootpassword redhat-config-samba redhat-config-securitylevel redhat-config-soundcardredhat-config-users redhat-config-xfree86 When I wrote to the yum mailing list, I put in: "Unless Python 2.3 breaks those packages (which I think is unlikely), I thought I should be able to upgrade Python to a newer version without this kind of objection." Seth wrote back that python 2.3 would break some of the packages, aparently because the packages have hardcoded paths, and the change of location from /usr/lib/python2.2 to /usr/lib/python2.3 would break some. One possible work around would be to grab the packages on the above list from fedora in addition to just the python packages, but I would consider that a last resort. One off the wall idea is to install python 2.3, but leave python 2.2 there for the packages with hardcoded paths. (I am not sure whether yum would cooperate on this plan.) Is there a cleaner solution to this problem? Thanks, Rick

Wiki Choices

I have selected 4 software packages for us to evaluate in order to decide on the best possible engine for the much-requested cAos Community Wiki. All 4 samples are now up and running for you to try out, play around with, and evalute. The URL's are as follows: https://caos.nplus1.net/c-arbre/ https://caos.nplus1.net/dokuwiki/ https://caos.nplus1.net/pwp/ https://caos.nplus1.net/tikiwiki/ Both C-Arbre and Tikiwiki allow for individual user registration and accounts, and they both offer more than simply a Wiki engine. Dokuwiki and PWP are strictly wikis, the former being designed specifically for collaborative documentation. Please note that I have done little or no customization to these samples thus far. Graphics, color schemes, etc. will be finalized after we choose a Wiki. Right now we're evaluating the samples for flexibility, features, ease of use, compliance with wiki standards, etc. I would appreciate your feedback. Send it to mej(a)caosity.org, post to the mailing list, or add it to the wiki itself. Thanks, Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
