Squirrel 1.4.8-8.el3.centos.1
by Henk van Lingen 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi, Last tuesday I upgraded squirrelmail on two centos-3 mailservers. squirrelmail-1.4.8-8.el3.centos.1, 2.4.21-58.ELsmp, CentOS release 3.9, httpd 2.0.46 Since then I have some users who have problems with their sessions. They are logout out every now and them, and some sent mails have another user address in the From header. It looks like squirrel is mixing up sessions? Those users have used fresh browser sesions. Anyone else seeing this? regards, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems Administrator & DBA (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University. /\ | phone: +31-30-2534107 v_/_ http://henk.vanlingen.net/ http://www.tuxtown.net/netiquette/

3Ware 9650SE tuning advice
by Ray Van Dolson 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hello fellow sysadmins! I've assembled a whitebox system with a SuperMicro motherboard, case, 8GB of memory and a single quad core Xeon processor. I have two 9650SE-8LPML cards (8 ports each) in each server with 12 1TB SATA drives total. Three drives per "lane" on each card. CentOS 5.2 x86_64. I'm looking for advice on tuning this thing for performance. Especially for the role of performing as either an NFS datastore for VMware or an iSCSI one. I set up two volumes (one for each card); one RAID6 and one RAID5. I used the default 64K block size and am trying various filesystems in tandem with it. I stumbled across the following recommendations on 3Ware's site: echo "64" > /sys/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb blockdev --setra 16384 /dev/sda echo "512" > /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests But am wondering if there are other things I should be looking at, including changing the IO scheduler. Any particular options I should use with filesystem creation to match up with my RAID block size? I also noted that there is a newer 3Ware driver (2.26.08.004) available than the one that comes stock with CentOS 5.2 (2.26.02.008). Not sure if I can expect performance improvement by "upgrading", and I imagine I'd have to mess with my initrd file in any case or boot with a driver disk option and blacklist the built-in driver... Thanks for any feedback! Ray

Does CentOS 5 support USB 1 ?
by Russell Bell 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

We upgraded our Internet server to CentOS 5 from RedHat 4. Now we can't use the USB port. dmesg returns: usbcore: deregistering driver usb-storage Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v3.0 PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:07.2 (0000 -> 0001) PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin D of device 0000:00:07.2.

Can anyone set me straight? Thanks.

Areca 1220 kernel lockups
by William Taylor 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Has anyone experienced any problems with Areca raid cards specifically the 1220 causing kernels to lock up? We are running 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen on 64bit. We have "areca_cli rsf info" run once an hour from cron to check for raid raid issues. Having this running seems to cause the box to lock up. Whats weird is I can't seem to make it lock up while running that command by hand. If anyone has any insight on this it would be most appreciated. Thanks, William

This is done with the statement allow client-updates; or the statement ignore client-updates;" This refers to the client updating its own A record. Ignore/allow here won't stop the DHCP server from attempting updates to BIND. "The DHCP server must be configured to use one of the two currently-supported methods, or not to do dns updates. This can be done with the ddns-update-style configuration parameter" You want to set ddns-update-style to 'none'. This should end the BIND update attempts (and failure logging).

CentOS-5.2 su -l is failing
by James B. Byrne 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

I am encountering an odd problem with su. Up until quite recently I was able to connect to one of my servers (CentOS-5.2) via ssh as an ordinary user and then, from the shell, perform an $ su -l to obtain root access. Now when I try to do this I see the following: $ su -l Password: su: incorrect password If, instead of I ssh to this machine as the root user ($ ssh -l root host) and enter exactly the same password from the same keyboard then I log in successfully as root. I have made no conscious changes to the target system configuration files and I know that the first method, logging in as a normal user and then su -l to root, was working just a few days ago. Review of the man and info pages does not enlighten me as to what might be wrong. The log file says this: Jan 14 12:00:22 inet01 sshd[15433]: Accepted password for myuser from x.x.x.x port 53458 ssh2 Jan 14 12:00:22 inet01 sshd[15433]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user myuser by (uid=0) Jan 14 12:00:32 inet01 su: pam_unix(su-l:auth): authentication failure; logname=myuser uid=500 euid=500 tty=pts/8 ruser=myuser rhost= user=root Any ideas as to what might be happening here and how I might fix it?

(Semi-OT) Problems with Firefox
by Sam Drinkard 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

List, After I think the last or next to last update to firefox, I started seeing some problems, wherein I no longer have a "back" function on any pages or tabs. Also, I get some kind of strange message.... "Assertion Failed ASSERT:***Search:_installLocation: engine has no file! Stack Trace: 0 ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!.2147500037) 1:()2:()3:()4:90:epsGetAttr([objectObject],hidden)5:906:907:currentEngine() 8:get_currentEngine()9:updateDisplay() 10:init() 11:([object XULElement],0) I realize this is not the proper place for FF related problems, but thought I'd ask if someone else has seen something like this happen. Prior to the last 2 updates, FF appeared to be working properly, and all the forward/back buttons worked. Assistance would be mighty helpful.. Thanks Sa,
