autofs and blank dvd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Well, I was about to burn a blank dvd. I put it in, and was setting it up in kb3... and my boss calls me, to tell me that my system's putting out error messages like crazy. I looked, and I assume it was autofs trying to mount the blank disk. How do I keep it from doing that in the future? mark

Re: [CentOS] ntop from rpmforge

Thanks Steve for the heads up on the proper place to post this and that you've already submitted a fix. I just responded back to the list because this was the original posting place and wanted to make sure anyone else performing this fix until your patch goes through doesn't fall into the trap of putting the switches after the ntop.conf file. ____________________________ Matt Ausmus Network Administrator Chapman University 635 West Palm Street Orange, CA 92868 (714)628-2738 mausmus(a)chapman.edu "You can lead a horse to water, but if you can get him to float on his back, you've got something." -HARTLEY'S FIRST LAW -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of centos-request(a)centos.org Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 9:00 AM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: CentOS Digest, Vol 59, Issue 11 Message: 24 Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:00:54 -0500 From: Steve Huff <shuff(a)vecna.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] ntop from rpmforge To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <A0BA4C1D-A27C-475A-8489-54E009FABE44(a)vecna.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" On Dec 10, 2009, at 1:39 PM, Ausmus, Matt wrote: > Anywho, I wanted to post this response to a thread that was created > back in November 2008 about the ntop daemon failing to start.

Auditd fails to start : Connection refused
by Tom Laramee 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Greetings: i have an x86_64 Centos5.3 box and i'm trying to run auditd. it fails on startup and this is the O/P at the end: config_manager init complete Error setting audit daemon pid (Connection refused) type=DAEMON_ABORT msg=audit(1260554376.697:5674): auditd error halt, auid=4294967295 pid=32702 res=failed Unable to set audit pid, exiting The audit daemon is exiting. Error setting audit daemon pid (Connection refused) the only thing i've learned from asking google is that it's a potential problem with the interaction between selinux & auditd, but i haven't found a solution. two questions: 1. anyone know what the problem is? (that or my next step in diagnosing it) 2. if i can't solve it, is there an alternative method for adding watchpoints to directories such that i can be notified of WRITE events for files in that directory (and preferably for all of it's subdirectories)? My kernel version is 2.6.18 (full info below). The audit version is audit.x86_64 0:1.7.13-2.el5 thanks --tom Name : kernel Arch : x86_64 Version : 2.6.18 Release : 164.6.1.el5 Size : 18 M Repo : updates Summary : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) URL : http://www.kernel.org/

poweredge 1950 hangs at starting udev
by Ryan Pugatch 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi all, I have a PowerEdge 1950 that was acting weird. Network connectivity was only performing at a quarter of what was expected (if that). Even if I scp'd something to localhost it would perform poorly. Rather than fight with it, I just decided to reload it. It was running 5.3, and it is now running 5.4. However, when I go to boot it gets stuck at starting udev. If I let it sit long enough it will then give me errors with something along the lines of: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 00 Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Wondering if anyone has an idea.. Thanks, Ryan

Problem mounting CIFS shares with credential file after SAMBA update
by José María Terry Jiménez 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hello all, This morning i updated my CentOS (5.4) and that included: samba-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm samba-client-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm samba-common-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm samba-swat-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm I have several mounts if fstab using a .credentials file that worked until i rebooted with this updates. I remember time ago was an issue with the format of credentials file (something about a LF at the end or something else) I've checked the file, added spaces between "=", added a line at the end, between username and passwd... but it doesn't work, i always get an error like (when i do mount -a): mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) (this is repeated for every CIFS share mounted in fstab) If i mount it "by hand" it works fine: # mount -tcifs -ousername=xxxx //192.168.0.100/xxxxx /media/xxxxx Password: And then, if i do a mount -a then works! (until i reboot, of course) # mount -a # Do anyone knows what is happening?

I just created a 4 drive mdadm --level=raid10 on a centos 4.8-ish system here, and shortly thereafter remembreed I hadn't updated it in a while, so i ran yum update... while installing/updating stuff, got these errors: Installing: kernel ####################### [14/69] raid level raid10 (in /proc/mdstat) not recognized ... Installing: kernel-smp ####################### [19/69] raid level raid10 (in /proc/mdstat) not recognized is this a problem? the raid10 'seems' to work....

Migrating to RAID
by Matt 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I have CentOS 4.x installed on a single 500GB SATA drive. Drive is about 10 percent used. I would like to migrate to software RAID 5 without reinstalling the OS. Was thinking 3 500GB drives. Is that possible or must I reinstall? Matt

An error message I don't recognize
by Bob McConnell 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

I have recently been told I will have to maintain some CentOS servers at work. Since I have only been using Slackware for the last 16 years, I decided to install CentOS on one of my servers at home to get an idea of the differences. I installed CentOS 5.4 from CD with no problems, did a yum update, set up a couple of samba shares and started to copy over some files from one of my other servers. Everything looks ok, but I keep seeing this message on the active console. I have no idea where it comes from nor what it means. type=1400 audit(1260446462.444:9): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2200 comm="smbd" path="/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc" dev=binfmt_misc ino=4348 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:binfmt_misc_fs_t:s0 tclass=dir What is it, what is triggering it and how do I fix it? Thanks, Bob McConnell N2SPP
