tcptrack for Centos 5.5 32bit rpm
by Keith Roberts 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi list. I have rebuilt tcptrack now. You can get it from here: http://www.karsites.net/centos/downloads/5.5/tcptrack-1.3.0-1.el5.i386.rpm It's not signed, so to install it with yum as root user, do: # yum localinstall --nogpgcheck tcptrack-1.3.0-1.el5.i386.rpm in the directory you d/l it to. Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.karsites.net http://www.php-debuggers.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] -----------------------------------------------------------------

Mount Point Ownership & Group
by Manish Kathuria 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

I am facing problems assigning the owner and group to an ext3 filesystem being mounted from an external storage. I created a mount point /vol and changed its owner and group to alpha and beta respectively (as required). The ext3 filesystem (LV from the external storage) was then mounted on /vol using the mount command. However, after mounting the filesystem the owner and group of /vol changed back to root. How do I ensure that the owner and group for this (and other) external filesystem to be mounted dynamically are preserved as required ? The mount options uid and gid don't seem to work for ext3 filesystems. Are there any other options for this purpose? Thanks, Manish

Re: [CentOS] Missing Dependency
by Terry Hickey 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I asked a simple question. If I did not give enough or gave the the wrong information, a simple message to that end would have been good. I don't have a bunch of letters behind my name. I am almost entirely self taught. I started with Linux in 1995 on an old slackware server a very knowledgeable man built for me and was my remote lifeline for the first couple of years. Since then I have built and ran probably 15 Internet servers ranging from old slackware stuff to Redhat. I just retired my last Redhat 9 server a while ago. I currently have in service Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS and a Cacti Monitoring server that I can't remember the flavor of Linux they built it on. When I get a problem I don't know what to do, I Google or go to one of my many bookmarked sites. Or, I ask someone if all else fails. So, I was designing a Web Site and one of the scripts didn't work. Looking at the error logs and googling the error led me to determine my PHP needed an upgrade and even listed a painless way to do it. However, it didn't work because of a missing dependency. I had not found the answer about to how to fix the dependency problem and, I had joined this list about a week ago. I have been very impressed with the quality of most of the posts so I thought I would ask here. I am not really interested if the version of PHP came bundled with 4.8 or not. It seems it didn't. I probably upgraded it to fix another error I was getting. I thought I had given all the relative information with my first question. Sorry for bothering you.

rsync via crontab spawns over 20 processes
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi all, I've been running rsync via cron for a while now and all is well. However on one particular new 5.5 box, whenever its runs via crontab, the machine ends up with over 20 rsync processes and a load of ~14 and eventually the machine dies. But when running manually, I see it spawn 3 processes with a load of 1.5. My rsync command is simply; rsync --delete -avvH --progress source target Any thoughts? - aurf

ethernet configuration
by Ritika Garg 23 Jan '11

I pressed the tab "probe" by mistake near "bind to MAC address" in system->administration->network->edit->hardware device. After this the MAC address disappeared. Internet is not working. Shall I write the MAC address and activate again?

Hi, I'm trying to set my iSCSI initiator name to a different value than the default. I edited /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi but iscsi-iname still shows the old value. How would I change it so it reflects the hostname? Best Regards, Rainer

Let's talk about compression rates

Why doesn't people use e.g.: XZ? This is the same as in PDF's. DJVU files could be amazing too. They could compress [convert] a 400 MByte PDF to a 20 MByte DJVU. Amazing. Why don't these technologies spread?? Any opinions regarding it? Thanks.

cloning a server
by PA 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi, I have a centos 5 (current) mail server that I have compiled dovecot/postfix and installed some packages like mysql etc. These packages have been configured and changed to my liking. How can I now save all this and install it on another server without having to do all the work of compiling installing and configuring the same applications. Is it possible to burn this server image into multiple DVD's make it bootable and then install on another server. Basically I want to clone this server and make it easy to install on another similar hardware server without having to install centos and then manually installing/configuring dovecot/postfix/mysql etc. Not sure if I can create a bootable ISO that will install on new servers or what my options are. I would appreciate any suggestions. Paul
