External ext3 USB Hard drive and selinux
by Al Freundorfer 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

I was directed to post this on the mailing list. See the following forum post as a reference. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16710&forum=42 I formatted my external ext3 372GB USB hard drive in ubuntu and now want to use it in Centos. I made sure that my group/user numbers were the same. I was not able to write to the mounted USB hard drive (HD). I suspected selinux and shut it of and I was able to copy the file! I set selinux back to enforce and rebooted. I like the security features of selinux. I tried: 1) chcon -v 2) restorecon -Rv /media/disk 3) cp -P and still am not able to write to the USB HD. The sad part is I can delete files from the USB HD. See forum post for details. I tried it in fedora 9 and it is able to write to the USB HD I tried an 32GB USB memory stick in Centos 5.2 and it worked! I am wondering why it doesn't work for my USB HD? The only difference is the the size. Your help would be much appreciated.

On this URL: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-rescuemode-bo… there is a description of "linux rescue" which includes the following: From the prompt, you can run many useful commands, such as: ssh, scp, and ping if the network is started dump and restore for users with tape drives parted and fdisk for managing partitions rpm for installing or upgrading software joe for editing configuration files Question: Is there a complete list somewhere, of which System Utilities and Commands are available, if one boots into "linux rescue"?

CentOS 5.2 on P5N64
by "J.A. Magallón" 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi all... First of all, I'm new to this list. Thanks in advance for the help I surely will get here ;) I have installed a CentOS 5.2 64 bit on a computer, and I can't get it to boot. The box is a custom built computer, with this components: - ASUS P5N64 WS Pro motherboard (nForce 790i Ultra SLI) More details here: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=653&l4=0&model=2182&modelme… - Intel Core Quad Q9450 - GeForce GTX 260 - 2x2Gb of 1333 memory - SATA 500Gb hd and SATA DVD (sata ports 1 and 2). I booted with the DVD and installed the system fine, but when I try to boot from the HD, the boot process just stops after inird loading, the kernel doesn't even start. I also tried with the CentOS 5.2 live CD, but it stops claiming that can not find the boot disk ??? Has someone similar problems ? What could I try to boot ? TIA -- J.A. Magallon \ Software is like sex: \ It's better when it's free Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5 (build 9F33) x86-64 - Darwin Kernel 9.5.0

FreeNX Shadowed Desktop issue
by James Blackburn 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi All, I'm hoping someone will be able to offer some advice on desktop shadowing with the latest CentOS 4's FreeNX. I've installed the latest FreeNX RPMs as described on the wiki: [james@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nx nxclient-3.2.0-9 freenx-0.7.3-1.el4.centos nx-3.2.0-8.el4.centos And I can NX in using two separate test user accounts. However when I try to enable shadowing I encounter two problems: 1) The shadow selection dialog doesn't show usernames (the column is simply blank). The result is that you need to know the display number in advance. 2) On choosing a display, I get an error connecting (and an authentication request is never shown on the display being shadowed). I can work around 2 by first doing 'xhost +' on the display which is about to be shadowed. But this isn't ideal... Any ideas / tips / pointers to more documentation appreciated! Cheers, James NXlog attached containing: 1 session created, followed by attempt to shadow from another user account.

Setting up eth0 with address 0.0.0.0
by Amos Shapira 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hello, I'm following instructions in http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.LVS-DR.html#route_on… to allow my xen guest real hosts to serve virtual IP's behind LVS without having to allocate real public IP addresses for each such xen guest. I have eth1 connected via a "back-end" switch to the eth1/xenbr1 of the xen host and the other physical servers, this is the interface that is used by LVS to switch packets over to the real servers. I managed to manually do: # ip route add to <default-router> dev eth0 # ip route add via <default-router> and before that, in order to allow outgoing packets to be sent via eth0, I did: # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up and it works great, but when I try to configure this permanently via ifcfg-eth0 it says: Bringing up interface eth0: connect: Invalid argument [ OK ] Things seem to work OK - the server can serve over the Virtual IP, eth0 doesn't have an IP associated with it etc. But I'm worried about this message. Some relevant config files: ifcfg-eth0: To setup the routes, I followed http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-st… and http://www.mail-archive.com/centos@centos.org/msg15253.html and put the following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet IPADDR=0.0.0.0 NETMASK=0.0.0.0 route-eth0: to <router-address> dev eth0 via <router-address> output of "ifconfig eth0": eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:19:E6:97 inet6 addr: fe80::216:3eff:fe19:e697/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2012 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:250 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:174268 (170.1 KiB) TX bytes:47731 (46.6 KiB) So - did I do this correctly and what should I do to fix the error message? Thanks, --Amos

kmod-xfs and weak-updates
by Tony Schreiner 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

I installed kmod-xfs-0.4-2 back with kernel-2.6.18-92.1.13. I have updated kernels but there have been no new kmod-xfs. It still works because of weak-updates (I guess). Currently: # find /lib/modules -name xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/extra/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.13.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.17.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.18.el5/weak-updates/xfs/xfs.ko My question is: kernel 2.6.18-92.1.13 is now the oldest one present on my system and will be removed next update. Do I need to worry about that? Will it take the remaining kmod-xfs with it? Tony Schreiner

I have Centos 5.2 and want to install mapserver. On my Fedora 7 box it is in the repo. Should I just enable that repo? Anyone done this? Tips/warnings? Dave -- Canada must refuse to be entangled in any more wars fought to make the world safe for capitalism. -- The Regina Manifesto, 1933
