should cAos block access to mirror.caosity.org?
by Rick Graves 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hey, Greg suggested that I take a straw poll. Should cAos take steps to prevent getting stuck with a big ISP bill in the future? For example, should cAos: a) for new installs, have the yum.conf point to public mirrors, rather than to mirror.caosity.org? b) make sure that "yum update" does not substitute a new yum.conf file that points only to mirror.caosity.org? c) allow public mirrors to access mirror.caosity.org directly, but block direct access by everyone else? On the other hand, do the benefits of allowing direct access to mirror.caosity.org by everyone outweigh the costs of occasionally big ISP bills? Feel free to express your views, Greg is listening.

Newer LAMP Components
by Johnny Hughes 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

I have been working on newer LAMP components for CentOS / WBEL in response to a post in my forums, and I have completed the following components for those who want try some newer stuff: httpd-2.0.52-3 php-5.0.2-1.EL MySQL-4.1.7-0 Details on how to compile them yourself and how to install are on my forum: http://www.hughesjr.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,65/page,viewtopic… I don't necessarily intend to maintain these programs by doing security updates although the complete build process including all dependencies required to build each SRPM is included in the forum. I am NOT using these in production, but I am using them on an intranet test server with Mambo installed. So far, no real problems. ----------------------- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/>

Signing key for recent x86_64 CentOS-3 updates
by Nels Lindquist 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

(reposting 'cause I sent the last one from a non-subscribed address) Hi there. I tried "yum update"ing my x86_64 CentOS-3 box today, but the packages won't install and yum claims I don't have an appropriate signing key. I've been happily doing updates all along (last time was Oct. 12) with no trouble. The key ID used to sign the x86_64 packages is 219180cddb42a60e and the key ID used to sign the i386 packages is 7049e44d025e513b. Is there a new key just for the x86_64 build? ---- Nels Lindquist <*> Information Systems Manager Morningstar Air Express Inc.

Release of centos-3.3 ISP bill
by Greg M. Kurtzer 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

It turns out that the release of Centos-3.3 was so popular, that it threw us way over the threshold of our ISP's, and now we are stuck with a _very_ large bill (as in an estimated 6TB of transfers). While in one hand I am ecstatic that we are so successful, but on the other hand, that is coming out of the developers pockets. The developers should be the last ones footing these bills (and this one was very large). You can help. Please consider a donation for each of the systems that you are using. A reasonable donation we think starts at $12US per system per year. That money is only spent on infrastructure and development. $12 is much cheaper then a magazine subscription, and if everyone contributes their share, we will be able to grow our infrastructure to better handle our growing user base, and continue to provide software to the community. Please visit http://www.caosity.org/contributing/ to do your part. -- Greg M. Kurtzer http://runlevelzero.net/ http://caosity.org/ http://warewulf-cluster.org/

RE: Release of centos-3.3 ISP bill
by Rick Graves 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Greg, Maybe a glitch in CentOS or YUM made the bill higher than it needed to be. I recently moved two systems from CentOS 3.1 to 3.3. On both machines, I started with yum.conf files pointed at my own mirror. On both machines, all I did was "yum update", but my yum.conf was renamed, and I got new yum.conf files pointed at mirror.centos.org. I was watching this carefully only because I migrating these two systems in part to test my own mirrors. If not for that, I might not have noticed the switch. (And because I am testing my own mirrors, I got rid of the new yum.conf files and put my own back immediately.) Maybe lots of other sites got switched to mirror.centos.org and they have not even noticed. Or they assumed the upgrade switched them because cAos wants them to update off mirror.centos.org, so they left the new yum.conf as is. This could be the main cause of the big bill. Rick

kickstart from cd

Howdy, Was wondering if anyone on the list has successfully created a kickstart cd. I get the thing burnt, looks good, I can browse all the files, but when I actually boot from it I can't get it to admit the ks.cfg exists. I *have* been successful with kickstart over http; just can't seem to make it happen from the cd. Pointers appreciated, I've been mostly looking at the following: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-ins… http://freeunix.dyndns.org:8088/site2/howto/Burn_em_Baby.shtml -- Robert Thomas (beau) Hayes Link beau(a)oblios-cap.com (c)2004ISR; http://www.semanticrestructuring.com/ "War on Terror?

adduser ?
by Ulrik S. Kofod 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

I installed CentOS 3.3 some time ago and the first thing I did after the install was to run a little script that adds my user plus a few other things. The script adds my user like this USER="ulrik" PASSWD="<mypasswd>" /usr/sbin/adduser $USER -p $PASSWD It seemed to work fine except I couldn't login? I searched Google for reasons why I could only login via ssh as root and was about to send a long mail to this list, when I decided to change the password and try to login again, and this time it worked? Doesn't the -p option work on adduser anymore? It did on my redhat9 where I used the same script and the -p option is still on the man page for adduser. I noticed that the same option for smbpasswd had been removed but adduser didn't complain. Just curious why :) Ulrik -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.

announcing LagMirror
by Rick Graves 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hey, LagMirror is a little different. The objective of LagMirror is to run YUM as a daily cron job and minimize the risk that a show-stopping glitch could get onto and bring down a mission-critical server. Packages that are quickly superseded are not put into the Lag mirror directories at all. The system takes advantage of the fact that show-stopping glitches are typically discovered and fixed quickly. Although LagMirror is not for everyone, it could work well for systems running on common hardware without any customized packages. This is work in progress, but it seems to be working. For more information, get the README here: ftp://www.advanced-app.com.hk/ One can get the Python source from the "source" directory under the above URL. Interested persons are invited to try it. Feedback is welcome. Rick

Re: VSFTPD / Apache (Beth Curotto)

Beth, I can get to http://66.196.225.55/, but if I try going to the mail subdirectory I get: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /mail/ on this server. This seems to be a web server, but your question says vsftpd. I recently set up an ftp server using vsftpd. I found that for a directory to be accessible to anyone, permissions must be set so that the directory is executable by anyone -- you get into a directory by "executing" it. So to make a sub directory accessible, permissions must be set in the parent directory for the sub directory is executable. Go to /var/www/html and check the permissions on the mail sub directory. The command chmod +x mail might do it (or you may have to do chmod o+x mail, and chmod u+x mail plus chmod g+x mail, while chmod ugo+x mail might also work). This might help.

centos-yumconf purpose
by dan1 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello. I did try to find out some information about centos-yumconf, but I didn't find any. I would like to know what centos-yumconf rpm is made for and what it does (just overwrite the yum.conf file, or copy things from the original and create a new one ?). I dont' really understand the necessity of this package, because I thought that the version upgrade was made through the $releasever environment variable. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Daniel

Setting up a local yum repository for CentOS-3.1
by John Newbigin 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Is there an approved procedure for setting up a local yum repository which has all the CentOS-3 patches (3.1 & 3.3)? I don't want to have 2 directories, just a single directory which has all the patches I need. I though the 3.3 directory would have these included but it seems not. If I manually upgrade to centos-release-3.3 (before installing all the 3.1 patches) then I will not get any outstanding patches from 3.1, which might be a problem. As a side issue, is there any reasons for anyone not to upgrade to 3.3? and is running 3.1 still secure?

i8253 count too high! resetting
by Geoff Nordli 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

I am running Centos 3.3. Is there any way to get rid of this harmless, but annoying message. This is a non-production environment. I tried editing the syslog.conf file and adding: kern.none /dev/console And I commented out the *.emerg line like this: #*.emerg * I also reloaded the syslog daemon after making the changes. Thanks, Geoff

anaconda in 3.3?
by beau 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Greetings, I'm using centos3 to study for rhce, centos came highly recommended in Michael Jang's rhce study guide. I've been having trouble isntalling via nfs, an early exercise in the book, and googling around leads me to think it might be an anaconda bug. I tried following the anaconda link on the "upgrading from 3.1" page but it's actually a duplicate of the anacron link. Does anyone know if this update addresses anything along these lines? Is there any way of guessing whether an update should solve my problems, or that a full re-install with freshly downloaded 3.3 isos would be better? -- Robert Thomas (beau) Hayes Link beau(a)oblios-cap.com (c)2004ISR; http://www.semanticrestructuring.com/ "War on Terror?

Lesson Learned
by Dominic Iadicicco 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hello all, I learned a very valuable lesson this weekend and thought I would share. I noticed that the xcdroastalpha15-rhel3.i386.rpm's non root mode didn't work very well, so I decided to set out an build my own rpm for it. Well I still can figure out how to add icons to the Main Draw but did finally build a good working RPM. However after doing some reading on the Xcdroast web site, It appears that it is known that the xcdroastalpha15-rhel3.i386.rpm does not work in non-root mode very well and that if you want to use non-root mode you should just download the one for RH9 "xcdroast-0.98alpha15-1.i386.rpm". This works just fine. Thats all.. Dom _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com

Re: [cAos] centos-3 x86_64 install hangs
by Tim Mattox 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hello gillian, You can try adding these options to the kernel commandline and it might help: noapic iommu=off The 2.4/2.6 hybrid kernel that RedHat supplies with RHEL3 has some issues with some AMD64 motherboards AFAIK, and the above options made the CentOS 3's kernel bootable for me on one of our systems. BTW - I've moved this to the CentOS mailing list, that is a more appropriate forum for this question. Please remove the caos(a)caosity.org CC if/when anyone replies.

by Martin Hamant 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

Hello centos community, I have a personal repository with self-made RPMs, and i need to include this repository to yum.conf. But i've noticed that yum configuration is overwritten when yum is updated. I can't update yum.conf manually on my servers each time yum is updated ... Is anyone have an idea ? Thank you. -- Martin

Adding shortcuts to menu
by Dominic Iadicicco 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hello all, Can anyone tell me how to add shortcuts to the main draw or point me in the right direction. I did a google on this but came up empty. I am running gnome as my windows manager. I am guessing it is not just point and click. Thanks all. Dominic _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com

Problems with CentOS 3.3 Disk2 Iso Image?
by Scott Sharkey 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

Hi All, I've downloaded this image (disk 2) from several sites, and it matches the MD5 sum. Burning it to a CD gives no errors, but the disk is failing the self-check at the start, and if I ignore that and try to install I get random packages which "cannot be read". I know the burner is OK, as I've burned other CDs on it just fine after burning the CentOS ones. Any thoughts? -Scott

Possible new CentOS user (currently WBEL)
by Mário Gamito 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

Hi, For a few months i've been using WhiteBox Enterprise Linux. In fact, i've migrated all my companie's servers (about 20) to this RHEL distro like. Well, it's not that i'm not satisfied, but WBEL is a one man show and that causes me some preocupation. And besides, it seems to me that it can't stand up to the rythm RHEL evolves. That's why i'm writing to you, posing a few questions, if you don't mind to answer: 1 - Why did you choose CentOS ? 2 - If you have/had experience with WBEL, why do you prefer CentOS ? 3 - Is CentOS ahead of WBEL in terms of being up to date with RHEL ? 4 - Does CentOS releases an updated version everytime RH does ? 5 - What is (more or less) the time gap between a RHEL update and the correspondent CentOS ? I apologise for the inconvinience and any help would be apreceiated. Warm regards, Mário Gamito -- http://www.startux.org/~gamito

Sun Gridengine and Centos
by Geoff Galitz 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

G'day. I'm having a little trouble getting Gridengine 5.3 running properly on a cluster using Centos 3.3. Everything appears okay, but my jobs hang in the queue with the gridengine complaining that node is overloaded, but there is nothing (unusual) running on the node and the load is 0. Has anyone else run into similar problems? -geoff

11 Oct '04

Hello all, Just need some info to clarify something. How is 3.3? By word of mouth I heard that their may have been some issues with it. However I have not heard anything here on this forum or any problems with RHE3 U3. So I am assuming all is well. Please verify if possible.
