Need some help with logwatch.
by James B. Byrne 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I am trying to get a logwatch summary emailed to a central address from a cron job. The tasd was copied verbatim from a system which does this already. Both are shown below. host1 crontab -l as root 45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd --service pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service zz-disk_space --service zz-network --service zz-sys --mailto support(a)harte-lyne.ca host2 crontab -l as root 45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd --service pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service zz-disk_space -- service zz-network --service zz-sys --mailto support(a)harte-lyne.ca #Logwatch summary My problem is that only the first gets delivered to support(a)harte-lyne.ca. The second gets delivered to root(a)host2.harte-lyne.ca and not to support. It has been a considerable time since I dealt with logwatch on the first machine and I cannot remember is there was any special configuration of logwatch itself to enable this to happen. Does anyone know what I might be overlooking? The curious thing is that if I cut and paste the host2 cron job entry into a terminal window that is logged in as root on host2 then the logwatch report goes to support as I intend. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

5.4 DVD
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I admit I wasn't following the screaming and yelling about 5.4, so excuse me if this has been answered.... My boss tells me he wants me to start rolling out 5.4. I want to d/l & burn a DVD... but when I looked at a number of mirrors, the .iso is from 1 Oct, while the CD .iso's are from the 14th... yet 5.4 was officially announced the other day. Am I missing something, or do the mirrors have a pre-release DVD .iso, with no fixes in the last three weeks, or ...? mark

CentOS 5.4 .x86_64 and perl.i386
by Gregory P. Ennis 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

To All, Thanks to the CentOS guys for 5.4; sure appreciate your work. I have one question. I had to remove perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386 on two x86_64 machines in order to get perl.x86_64 4:5.8.8-27.el5 to update. Does this represent a change from 5.3 to 5.4 and should I be concerned about the loss of perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386. So far I have not found anything broken. Greg Ennis

Hey We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right? What do you want to read about? What sections do you want? Or just comment. I am happy about any constructive criticism. I hope you are enjoying the Newsletter. Cheers Didi *Of course the we will not become a only fun Newsletter. ---- My www page: www.ribalba.de Email / Jabber: ribalba(a)gmail.com Skype : ribalba

Upgrading CentOS 5.3 from local mirror
by Jonathan Moore 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Good afternoon folks. Earlier today, I started upgrading a few of our servers to 5.4 based on input from the list. So far, all has gone well. I have about 6 servers (not very many, but still) that need to be upgraded. Instead of taking precious bits from the mirrors for each upgrade, I was curious if I could rsync the 5.4 directory from a local mirror, and configure yum to use that repo, if it would upgrade without issues? Would I need anything other than the 5.4 folders to do the upgrade? -jonathan

mismatch_cnt after 5.3 -> 5.4 upgrade
by Devin Reade 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Saturday I did an upgrade from 5.3 (original install) to 5.4. Saturday night, /etc/cron.weekly reported the following: /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check: WARNING: mismatch_cnt is not 0 on /dev/md0 md0 holds /boot and resides, mirrored, on sda1 and sdb1. md1 holds an LVM volume containing the remaining filesytems, including swap. The underlying hardware is just a few months hold, has passed the usual memtest stuff, and has been running 5.3 well for a few months. I'm *guessing* that due to the timing, this is related to the upgrade. I have to admit that I forgot myself and instead of doing the glibc updates as recommended, I only did: yum clean all yum update yum rpm -e --nodeps perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386 (see today's perl thread) yum update perl.x86_64 yum update shutdown -r now I've taken a backup of /boot dump after the upgrade, but have not yet reenabled normal backups. My hunch is that something in the upgrade process touched sda1 but not sdb1, and that removing sdb1 from the mirror and reattaching it for resync would be sufficient, however I was looking for comments on this from anyone with experience or opinion on the matter. Googling the issue doesn't seem to turn up any recent related results. Also, could the upgrade have touched the bootblock on sda1 but not sdb1 and thus trigger this problem?
