CentOS 5.4 logrotate and syslog
by Ryan Ivey 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Anyone having problems with logrotate and CentOS 5.4? Although I have /etc/logrotate.d/mail (contents below) to rotate my maillog file, it fails to do it automatically: /var/log/maillog { compress dateext maxage 365 rotate 60 size=+1024k missingok postrotate /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart endscript } ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ logrotate.conf: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # see "man logrotate" for details # rotate log files weekly #weekly daily # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs rotate 5 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed compress # RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory include /etc/logrotate.d # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here #/var/log/wtmp { # monthly # minsize 1M # create 0664 root utmp # rotate 1 #} # system-specific logs may be also be configured here. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The file rotates correctly if I manually force it, however my logs won't update until I restart syslogd. In other words, the new /var/log/maillog isn't created after the logrotate. I have to manually restart syslogd and manually touch /var/log/maillog. I've made no changes to syslog.conf: /etc/syslog.conf: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks!

Sort logfiles at rotation time
by Stephen Nelson-Smith 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples seem to take the form of restarting something, or running some other standalone script. What I want to do is run a sort command against the newly rotated file - but how do I know what it is called? Any ideas? S.

Centos as a file storage/backup destination (Advice)
by Roland Roland 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello all, am considering setting up centos as a file storage/ backup destination for Mac's TimeMachine. all my users would get synced directly to specific folders on this machine.. needless to say space is of importance. where every user has an average 200 GB of data to b synced (entire system)... I have 27 users hence 27 *200 equals to almost 6 TB so I was considering getting either 4 * 1.5 TB or 6 * 1 TB to be used on one PIV with a 1 GB ethernet. but the thing is, I'm an expert with this! so I'm seeking your help.. is there any other way to do so ? is there any limitation hardware/centos wise for the amount of drives available on a system? is Motherboard available sata/ide slots is the only limitation? how about using a USB hub and plugging them as such? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks and excuse my newbie question. best, Roland

Nothing in iptables. Same config I have used for a long time. I regenerated my keys and all is well.

How Can I change CentOS CLI Screen Resolution to smaller text (without GUI)?
by Sam Acosta 09 Nov '09

Hi, I'd like to view the Screen resolution in smaller text on my server terminal. The server is not installed with any GUI so it's in plain text mode. Thanks.

kernel: target...SCSI
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Folks, I've now got two systems that have been upgraded to 5.4, and that are sending out log entries like target2:0:0: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 62) with the only differences being the target. I see no errors per se in the logs. Googling shows posts with different offsets, and actual errors in the logs. Does anyone have any ideas why these systems are sending this out, and how I turn them *off*, if they're not errors? mark
