Irritant
by Sam Drinkard 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hi again, I've got a nagging irritant with either putty or the man pages, or perhaps my setup. If I use putty to log into my server and request any man page, it returns the page, but really important stuff like keywords are blank. Is this perhaps caused by the wrong terminal setting in putty or is there something with Centos man pages that cause this to happen? Thanks again, Sam

OT, but just a quick question.
by Jimmy Bradley 09 May '08

09 May '08

I know this is off topic, so please accept my apologies. This is just out of curiosity, and a number of people I've talked to in the area I live in have said the same thing. About 2 weeks ago, my one remaining xp machine downloaded and installed an update from Microsoft. Ever since then, the machine has run slower than a dead person. I was just wondering if anyone here on the list who still has a xp machine or two running has noticed the same thing? Thanks Jim

Apache Redirects...
by Craig White 09 May '08

09 May '08

I'm trying to require SSL for drupal login and admin pages and it seems that this should work but it doesn't redirect if added to httpd.conf or to .htaccess (I've tried both) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(user|admin) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R] Shouldn't this be enough so that the URL...(googling suggests that it is) http://cms.tobyhouse.com/user/login is automatically redirected to https://cms.tobyhouse.com/user/login ?

OFF-TOPIC: Job opening in Marin County, California
by Bart Schaefer 08 May '08

08 May '08

I'm feeling rather sheepish about adding to topic drift, but like Jim last week, I'm looking for a developer to work on either/both front-/back-end components of our LAMP (with P as in Perl) application. Compared to Jim, I can probably promise a little less abuse but just as many hours and as much stress. More details here: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/eng/669189624.html CentOS system administration skills would be a big plus, too. With apologies, we now return you to your usual yum breakage and miscellaneous rpm incompatibilities.

NMAP - reveal MAC address
by Tom Brown 08 May '08

08 May '08

In CentOS 4 does anyone know the switches to get NMAP to reveal the MAC of the host being scanned ? I cant seem to find it and i am using nmap-4.20 - i am sure this was available somehow on older releases. thanks

I am trying to help a small shop migrate off an old DOS sales application and was hoping to find a Linux alternative. Anyone have any experience with these types of applications, it would likely be a 2-3 user setup. Thanks! jlc

Is it possible to lvrename the current root partition?
by Alfred von Campe 08 May '08

08 May '08

I'd like to rename my existing volume groups and logical volumes (I picked names a long time ago I no longer like :-). I recently stumbled across the lvrename and vgrename commands, but when I tried the former to rename the logical volume that my root partition resides on, the system became unbootable. In addition to renaming the LV (and VG if I decide to to that as well), what else needs to be changed? So far my list includes: o /etc/fstabb o /boot/grub/grub.conf o /dev/<vgname>/<lvnamex> o /dev/mapper/<vgname-lvnamex> I was hoping the lvrename and/or vgrename would take care of these details. Are there any scripts out there that take care of all the details? If not, I may write one (once I have the recipe to get this working, of course). Alfred

total server lock-up during CentOS5.1 installation with vnc

Hi, I would like to share my experience with total server lock-up during CentOS5.1 installation using vnc installation method.

RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 05) Srv1 runs CentOS5 for 8 months with no major problem. Srv2 had Fedora Core 6 installed, recently I decided to install CentOS5.1 instead. Because the servers are located in a noisy server room, have low-end CRT monitors where installation in graphical mode is not possible, I run installation using vnc method. As the servers to not have a DVD drive, I have put CentOS 5.1 DVD image on a hard disk and booted from a CentOS boot CD ( boot.iso ) or from GRUB [ using kernel and initd from boot.iso ] and specifying HardDisk installation source. First I have installed a small rescue system on /dev/ida/c0d0p1 [ Srv2 ] with eth0 as the interface vnc was using. No problem other than grub which did not install correctly and I had to install it from rescue mode using grub-install. When installing the regular system I decided to use more fancy method: >From my_PC I started ssh session to Srv1, redirecting port 5901 to Srv1/eth1/port 5901 (eth1 on Srv1 and Srv2 are configured to use private IP address range) Then I specified to CentOS51 installer that vnc is going to use eth1 interface. I could connect vncviewer to localhost:1 at my_PC (that is port 5901) which was forwarded over ssh to Srv1/eth1 and Srv2/eth1. This was working, I could prepare installation in custom mode, define LVM logical volumes, mount points, etc. When I came to package selection, however, Srv2 locked hard after some time (I tries 2 or three times, always the same result, somewhere in package selection the Srv2 locked hard). By 'locked hard' I mean no response to ping over eth0 or eth1, not even ARP response on eth0 or eth1, no response to attempts to switch virtual consoles (Alt-Fx) and no message on screen which would give any clue what might have happened. After 2 or 3 attempts to install that way, I run with no problem installation using vnc over eth0 (no ssh port forwarding this time). I do not expect any help for that, just wanted to share my weird experience. (No hard data, the lockup was before any log files could be created by installer, and there was no error messages on screen). Best regards, Wojtek
