Apparently no swap configured
by Ian Masters 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hello, I'm in a slightly unusual situation and I'd really appreciate some advice. I installed CentOS 5.2 on a server about a month ago. Today I happened to check the 'free' command and noticed that the Swap line reads as follows: Swap: 0 0 0 I'm pretty certain that when I installed the OS and created a custom partition table, that I defined a swap partition, but there is no swap line in /etc/fstab either. However the output of 'lvm> lvdisplay' contains the following information (amongst others): --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/swap VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID 7uOBcj-tN16-uAbO-3nyy-3scZ-SAEA-7HKWPW LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 1.94 GB Current LE 62 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:5 Also 'ls' confirms that logical volume exists: [root@mail ~]# ls -l /dev/VolGroup00/swap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Sep 30 11:30 /dev/VolGroup00/swap -> /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-swap I'd like to know: 1. How can I check how this logical volume is formatted (and if it is formatted)? 2. Is it possible to use this logical volume? If I add a line to /etc/fstab, what are the chances of rendering my system unbootable? The server is in use and presently doesn't have any memory problems, and while it's not mission critical server I'd rather not mess it up with any ill-thought out tinkering. If anyone can give me some advice on this I'd be very grateful. Thanks Ian Masters

Help with custom udev rule
by Clint Dilks 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I am trying create a custom udev rule to change the group and permissions on /dev/net/tun. Some research indicated that rather than directly editing the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules that I should create my own local rules file something like 10-local.rules which contains KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660" But unfortunately when I reboot the permissions are still 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 200 Oct 24 14:09 /dev/net/tun Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or point me to some clear documentation about creating custom udev rules. Thanks

Recommended Configuration Control Software?
by Sean Carolan 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

We have several dozen production Linux servers and I would like to have better control over what files are changed, by whom, when they were changed, etc. Because these are all production servers that are in use 24x7, we do not have the luxury of simply doing a clean build, taking md5sums of each file, and then doing fresh installations. I need a system that can take in-place snapshots of each server's configuration files, store them in some kind of database or text file, and notify me whenever something changes. I've used tripwire in the past - do you have any other recommendations for this type of project?

dumpe2fs and repquota not agreeing on block size
by Neil Aggarwal 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hello: I am trying to set up user quotas on my /var partition to enforce limits on user's mailbox sizes. The machine is running CentOS 5. When I do this: /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/md2 | grep 'Block size' Block size: 4096 That tells me the block size is 4k. But, if I do: repquota /var It is telling me that one of my users is currently using 10264 blocks. But, if I look at their mail file, it is 10493792 bytes, which means they should be using 2562 blocks or so. Also, if I do: df /var I get this Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 39674140 20401792 17224468 55% /var Which tells me the blocks are 1K in size. The repquota result makes much more sense with a 1K block size. Any idea why dumpe2fs is giving a 4K block size?

by Semih Gokalp 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hi al.I have a problem with pam.d authentication rules. I searched on google and modified my system-auth file.Bu some rules does not works properly my system-auth like below: -------------------------- auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_tally.so onerr=fail per_user deny=3 auth sufficient pam_unix.so md5 nullok try_first_pass auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_tally.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so minlen=8 lcredit=2 ucredit=2 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so ------------------------------------- 1-) Password is not stored md5 style in shadow file when i create new user with password. But when i change user password ,it is stored md5 style in shadow file. 2-) retry=3 is working good but minlen,lcredit,ucredit,dcredit,ocredit does not work ? I can set password less then 8 lenght. Where am i doing wrong ? I looked sample configures on internet and http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/old/pam-6.html and it is same with my system-auth .Why minlen,lcredit,ucredit,dcredit,ocredit while retry is working ? Thanks for all helps. -- Iyi calismalar.Basarilar... Semih Gokalp Istanbul/Turkiye

Hi, I know I know: upstream minus artwork. Nevertheless, I admit I'd like to simply use the RHEL background wallpaper for my desktop. Something like: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/images/rhel4/44-Desktop.jpg Can't seem to find these (4 and 5). Any idea? Cheers, Niki
