DKIM
by Bob Hoffman 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Okay, Yahoo is bumming me. Only system my mail is having an issue with. All mail is accepted, but junked. I can only think it is the DKIM/Domain keys. It is apparent that the dkim-milter is not part of the centos 5.x distro nor is it part of the mirrors, as far as I can tell. So...have any of you done it with your servers for sendmail? There are some sites that claim to have rpms and I have downloaded the tar from sendmail. But I would rather hear from anyone who has an opinion before I go with one or the other. I do not trust any rpms except for their mirrors, so not sure if I want to do that. But maybe it is fine. Open to suggestions, ideas for what works for you and yahoo. No, I do not want to install postfix, thank you - /ninja'd ya

OT - Monitoring tool
by Robert Spangler 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hello everyone, While I know this isn't Centos related, you guys seems to be on top of your game around here. Sorry for the off-topic. I'm looking for a tool to monitor my servers and send either an email or page or both when something breaks. I would like it to monitor all sorts of services on the servers with one small detail, I'd like it to be able to confiugre so if the DBA need something monitor that is hosted on a shared system that they can only change what they are responsible for and not something else that is being monitored on that system. Is there such a program out there? -- Regards Robert It is not just an adventure. It is my job!! Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org

My solution is to send my printouts to a different printer where they print perfectly! I've got an old HP Laserjet 4 at my desk, and that browser on that OS prints mostly junk characters on that printer. There's also a HP 4250 outside my door, and that browser/OS combination prints fine on that printer. << There seems to be a known issue with Firefox 3 on all platforms, when printing to Postscript printers. I started a thread about it on the Mozilla support forums, did some experimenting, thought I'd fixed it, found I hadn't and in fact, have never resolved it. Things you might try: * Turning off "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" * Changing the default character encoding from "Western (ISO-8859-1)" to something else (and possibly back again) * Disabling the use of the printer's fonts in your driver It's been a show-stopper for me, and I'm thinking about going back to FF2.

OT: C++ Newbie "Hello World" problem SOLVED

Note: This began in the thread "[CentOS] Probably a bad setup but which one?" but I don't want to hijack that thread.

Configure an ATI Radeon X1200 card?
by Niki Kovacs 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi, I want to configure X on a NEC PC with an ATI graphic card. Usually, I do that by hand, e. g.: # init 3 # X -configure --> first draft # mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11 Then I edit this with Vi, step by step. Usually, this works, but not for ATI cards. Here, the first draft only gives me a "vesa" driver... though xorg-x11-drv-ati is installed. But then, when I replace Driver "vesa" by: Driver "ati" I get a "No screens found" error. Until now, I've successfully configured dozens of different video cards, mostly Intel and NVidia (old and new), and also a few ATI cards (with the opensource driver). But this is the first ATI card that gives me trouble. Any suggestions? Niki

Questions on custom LiveCD
by Kai Schaetzl 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I tried making my own LiveCD according to the instructions on the project site. First, applause, the basic procedure works like a charm. It's really easy to do and works right from the beginning (I'm building it inside a VM). I tried the minimal and the desktop version (with a few changes). I have encountered a few problems and have some questions. The German keyboard I set in the kickstart file was setup correctly for text mode, but not for graphical mode. I can change it from within the account, so everything that needs to be there seems to be there. Do others have the same problem? The graphical mode just displays a blank screen on my laptop (contains some S3 UniChrome chip). Is this an expected problem? It's not a big problem that the X server doesn't run on that laptop, but I wonder if it's possible to use a more generic driver that would at least display in lower resolution or so? (as I don't know if the machine where the CD might get used also has an unsupported chipset.) The goal is to create a CD that provides a browser and a LAMP web application, so that a few people that don't have access to the net in their office can use/test a database project. So, going on, I would like to add the code and database to the CD, so that the user can open Firefox and use the application from the local webserver. I see that the structure of the CD is an ext3fs.img with the root filesystem in a squashfs.img in the iso file. If I change the content of the ext3fs.img can I put it back on the rw mounted squashfs.img and that in the iso? If yes, I assume I would need to cater for a necessary resize of the images. If no or if there is a better way, how? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Module.symvers
by Jerry Geis 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I am going into: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.1.10.el5-x86_64 and doing a "make mrproper" attempting to rebuild the Modules.symvers file. As I added ALSA 1.0.17 to the current kernel. I am getting an error: make mrproper scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.1.10.el5-x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile: No such file or directory make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.1.10.el5-x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile'. Stop. make[2]: *** [drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100] Error 2 make[1]: *** [drivers/infiniband] Error 2 make: *** [_clean_drivers] Error 2 Is this not the correct way to rebuild the Modules.symvers file?

install Verisign/NetSol CA bundle
by sbeam 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I have a client-provided SSL cert that seems to be provided by Verisign but issued by my good friends at Network Problems. I thought this was part of default cert.pem, but maybe not. The docs on Verisign's site are... ahem... unhelpful. I have what I think is the correct CA chain for this cert, but still trying to determine what marketing terms overlap with what reality. But how is it to be tested? here is the info ( nj.pem contains the Certificate and the Private Key ) $ openssl verify nj.pem nj.pem: /C=US/postalCode=99999/ST=OH/L=Columbus/streetAddress=4111 XXXX Ave./O=XYZ Inc./OU=Secure Link SSL Pro/CN=xyz.foo.com error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate $ openssl x509 -noout -in nj.pem -issuer issuer= /C=US/O=Network Solutions L.L.C./CN=Network Solutions Certificate Authority So if append the correct CA certs to my nj.pem, then 'openssl verify' should be happy, is this correct? thanks!

Probably a bad set-up but which one?
by tech 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I am having a problem that I assume is a set-up problem but I don't know which area to look at to fix it. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I can't get the simple Perl "Hello World" script to work. Oh, it does print "Hello World" OK but it also prints the "Content" line as text rather than using it as a directive. Two different servers (both CentOs 5) and both IE and Firefox are doing the same thing. I first tried a JavaScript program (free online shopping cart) and it wouldn't work properly. So, I changed to CGI and can't get it working OK either. What does work: CGI/Perl visitor count program. Count.log and main.log exist and get updated and display the updated count in the browser OK. What doesn't work: "content" line is seen as text. I can't create a file using CGI. I can append to one but I can't create one. I have tried a CGI shopping cart (Commerce) which has an install script. It displays the first page OK but when I click on "Continue" I get the same page again. The script says clicking on "Continue" should submit a form (Post) with a name of "step2. An IF statement should see that name and go to the step2 subroutine. It doesn't. It falls through to the ELSE and displays the same page. A Print command shows the name is blank after the click. The browser knows about the form because a refresh tells me about the stale form data. I have the AddHandler lines and the ExCGI option in my http config. I have checked that all spelling and cases are OK. Carp Fatal to Browser is not showing any errors. Server error log doesn't seem unhappy either. I have done some searching in news groups and Deja, ooops sorry, Google and didn't find anything that helped. Where do I look next?

Zone transfers not working for subdomain
by Sean Carolan 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I have a domain, let's call it "example.com". I am able to do zone transfers on the local host as follows: dig example.com AXFR @localhost This command outputs all of the contents of the zone as expected. I am unable to do zone transfers on my subdomain though: dig subdomain.example.com AXFR @localhost ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> subdomain.example.com AXFR @localhost ;; global options: printcmd ; Transfer failed. Below are my config files, truncated and with host names changed to protect the innocent: **** From /var/named/zones.conf *** **************************************************** zone "example.com" { type master; file "master/example.com"; }; zone "subdomain.example.com" { type master; file "master/subdomain.example.com"; }; *** From /var/named/master/example.com *** **************************************************** @ IN SOA ns.example.com. root.example.com. ( 2008092902 1H 10M 9D 5M ) NS ns1.slaveserver.net. NS ns2.slaveserver.net. A 66.45.102.50 (whole bunch of CNAME and A records removed for brevity's sake) *** From /var/named/master/subdomain.example.com *** **************************************************** $ttl 38400 @ IN SOA ns.example.com. root.example.com.

(Note that internal.ops is for internal use only) What am I missing here?
