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?

system-auth on CentOS 5.2
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

ls and rm: "argument list too long"
by Jussi Hirvi 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Since when is there a limit in how long directory listings CentOS can show (ls), or how large directories can be removed (rm). It is really annoying to say, for example rm -rf /var/amavis/tmp and get only "argument list too long" as feedback. Is there a way to go round this problem? I have CentOS 5.2. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. & fax +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi

by Niki Kovacs 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hi, I'd like to get my microphone to work (mainly to use it with Skype). I've just been looking for a simple audio recording app, as I vaguely remember having seen such a thing before, only I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm using the default GNOME desktop with the latest CentOS 5. Any suggestions? Niki

Hi all, Sorry for the OT. Does anyone can share to how to reset an IBM Bladecenter Advance Management Module web access? Recently, I've got an IBM Bladecenter chassis E 8677. There's no one in the office who knows about the IP nor the password for it.
