apcupsd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Here's an odd one: I installed apcupsd, and it works with most of our UPSs. I'd swear it worked on this one. Then I replaced the Gin-u-wine APC batteries, which were dead, with new ones, non-APC. They're just dumb batteries, no chips or whatever on them. If I hook it up using a serial cable, I can get info. If I hook it up the way I had it, with APC's weird USB cable - and this is the way it was working before - it fails. I run apctest, and it gives me: Attached to driver: usb sharenet.type = DISABLE cable.type = USB_CABLE You are using a USB cable type, so I'm entering USB test mode mode.type = USB_UPS Setting up the port ... Hello, this is the apcupsd Cable Test program. This part of apctest is for testing USB UPSes. Getting UPS capabilities...SUCCESS Then I tell it to do the self test, and get: This test instructs the UPS to perform a self-test operation and reports the result when the test completes. Clearing previous self test result...CLEARED Initiating self test...INITIATED Waiting for test to complete...ERROR READING STATUS 12.976 apcupsd: linux-usb.c:802 HIDIOCGREPORT for function SelftestStatus failed. ERR=Input/output error Now, I've even found an rpm that was *not* two+ years old, as what comes with CentOS 5.4, current update, and get the same error. In addition, even though the batteries are fully charged, and the info I get via the serial cable says they're at 100%, the red "change battery" light is still on on the front of the UPS. Hitting the "test" button doesn't help; I was hoping running the self-test that's available via the USB connection would reset it, but I can't do that. Any clues for the poor? mark

I need to provide a means for our people to stop using the mail server as a file server, a web site with a friendly interface has been asked for instead of an ftp server. Anyone know of something/project that exists already? Thanks! jlc

Add /sbin to sudo PATH
by Samuel Contesse 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hello, Does anyone have an idee how to add /sbin to the sudo $PATH environment? Adding /sbin to .bashrc $PATH isn't really what I want... I'd like sudoers to be able to run: $ sudo chkconfig And not: $ sudo /sbin/chkconfig Thanks Sam

Upgrading from Fedora Core 7 to CentOS 5.4
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 22 Jan '10

Hi there -- I need to upgrade one of our systems from its current distribution, Fedora Core 7, to the most recent version distribution, release 5.4, of the CentOS operating system. Can I do an in-place upgrade of the operating system without any adverse side-effects? Are there any issues that I should be concerned with before proceeding? Thanks.

It's right, adding path into .bash_profil is so easy... ------Original Message------ From: Gaël Honorez Sender: centos-bounces(a)centos.org To: CentOS mailing list ReplyTo: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Add /sbin to sudo PATH Sent: Jan 22, 2010 8:44 PM Except adding /sbin to the PATH in ~/.bash_profile (still better than in .bashrc), I don't think you have so many solutions.

trouble shooting slow ssh logins
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi all, I noticed that my ssh logins to a particular server were taking up to 5 seconds to finally login. My tcpdump -vv weren't producing much output (not good) and my pings to and from that host were normal and almost identical to other hosts on my subnet that had no ssh login delay issues. Log files also showed nothing alarming. My hosts file was missing this at the very end of the file; ::1 localhost6.localdoamin6 localhost6 I chose to disable ipv6 during install but no big deal that I needed that line. My question is; What tools could I have used to trouble shoot this as packet sniffers on the switch port or the host didn't seem to do the trick, nor did log file analysis? I just had a hunch and decided to look at my hosts file, not the most effective way to fix issues but one I've used several times. Thanks in advance, - aurf
