way OT: CCNA Router Sim
by Ed Donahue 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I know this is completely off topic, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good network/router simulator. I don't want to spend $80 on CCNA CertSim unless I have to.

syslog question
by James Pifer 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I have a 64bit centos 5.2 system. My router supports sending logs to a syslog server, so I was hoping to send them to my centos box so they are easier to keep an eye on. I've been googling for howto's etc, but I didn't think syslog would be that difficult. Do I need to use syslog-ng or can I use the syslog that's installed with centos 5.2? Any suggestions or guidance? Thanks, James

Extended characters not working on CentOS
by MHR 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

A friend of mine here at work pointed me at this web page www.fhlcell.org where there are a lot of Chinese characters on the page. Interestingly enough, on my CentOS 5.2 system, with both Seamoneky 1.1.11 and Firefox 3.0, we were unable to get the characters to display properly (they showed up as the little four number boxes instead). However, on his Ubuntu system, using Firefox, they displayed just fine. Also, I just tested it in Win XP and both Seamonkey 1.1.11 and IE display it correctly. What's going on? mhr

X-Windows Login
by Al Sparks 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I have a server with all the x-windows stuff installed. But it's giving me a text based login prompt on the console. I can log onto the console, and run gnome-session and GNOME comes up fine. How do I turn it on so that I get a X-Window GUI login prompt? === Al

Duplicate PV on HW RAID?
by Eduardo Grosclaude 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hello, My "hardware" (?) RAID system seems to work but says "duplicate PV" while booting, I don't think I was reading them before. Any clues will be appreciated. >From what I recall: 1) RAID 1 was setup (using firmware setup program) on a machine with Intel S3200 SHV Server Board. 2) Installed Centos 5.1, default LVM style. Anaconda saw a single 500GB disk so I assumed this was a true hardware RAID system. Am I wrong here? 3) Then wanted to reduce LogVol00 so as to make room for a new, data only filesystem on its own LV. Started by booting with rescue CD, lvscanned the disk, lvchanged -a y. Intended to resize root filesystem with resize2fs. Was asked to fsck, which I did (by the way, getting many errors). Fixed them all (fingers crossed), fsck again said ok. Then resize2fs worked happily. 4) Rebooted the installed system. Now "Duplicate PV" shows at boot. Honestly I don't know whether this was being displayed before (this is an inherited server). This message shows at the screen but no record of it is kept on any log file. 5) Everything seems to work well anyway. I created a new LV as I wished, just this message keeps me thinking... Should I care? Should I fix it? Is it a true RAID board? Should I be better off going software-RAID 1? lspci says 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Server DRAM Controller 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801IR (ICH9R) LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc.

Hardware serial number access from (a) command(s)
by MHR 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Over the weekend, I had to make a technical support call on one of my DVD burners, and at one point the recorded message mentioned I should have my serial number handy. I thought there was a way to read that from at least one piece of software on the system, but I couldn't remember one and man -k on a number of subjects was unrevealing. Can someone enlighten me (us)? Thanks. mhr

Centos 5.0 package updater asking me to update more than I installed
by Mark Walker 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Is this the standard behavior? Is there a way to only update the packages I installed without deselecting the ones I don't want? Thanks.

Migrating RHEL 3 to Centos 5.2 - has Adaptec 2400a RAID
by Ed Westphal 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Greetings all. I'm new to the mailing list. Hope to get to know many of you. I'll jump right in with a recent project. I have a machine with RHEL WS 3 - Taroon; plus dual boot to Win 2000 Pro. The RAID card is Adaptec's 2400A w/128 megs cache, running RAID 10 on 4 WD's. I want to migrate to 5.2 Centos and wipe the NTFS partition. I have the 5.2 Centos DVD. Anyone see any problems, special preparation needed, whatever, to accomplish the migration? The RAID uses dpt_i2o drivers. The NVidia card can get drivers from their website, if need be to support full functionality. Please advise with any cautions, considerations, you may care to give. Thanks in advance. Ed Westphal

nss_ldap 5.2 update question
by David Halik 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hi all, I was just wondering when this update will trickle down into the Centos repo: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0611.html Obviously, it just came out yesterday, so I'm not expecting it to suddenly appear. ;) Just curious what the turn around time usually is for RHEL bug fixes that get released and when we should expect it. As a side note, does anyone know if there is a way to get a hold of an update like this without having support access to the RHN? I'm guessing I just have to wait for a Centos release. Thanks! -Dave -- ================================ David Halik System Administrator OIT-CSS Rutgers University dhalik(a)jla.rutgers.edu ================================

securing rsync over ssh
by Kai Schaetzl 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

I want to secure some remote rsyncs over ssh by using the command= option in .authorized_keys. As I understand I can use only the full command there, as it is not a list of "allowed commands" but the command that will be executed when logging in with this key. Now, I'm running several rsync commands on individual directories in the root, not just one command. I do that to pull different exclude lists in. I want to exclude nothing in some directories and a few different things in other directories. rsyncing per /rooted directory seems to be the cleanest and easiest way. All other combinations of complicated exclude/include lists may have unexpected results. I thought about putting the remote command in a shell script. However, I think this won't work as each rsync on the remote side will be executed with the first rsync command in the script on the local side. Is there a solution (besides using several keys or so)? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
