Yum update fails

I updated my centos 4.5 server to centos last week and I am now getting errors when I attempt to do a yum update: [root@AJD-slag ~]# yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Plugin "fastestmirror" uses deprecated constant TYPE_INTERFACE.

sdc1 without the sdc
by Scott Moseman 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

So I'm working with the iSCSI Initiator and an EqualLogic SAN. I'm not sure when this might have happened, but it appears that the /dev/sdc device is missing, yet the /dev/sdc1 partition exists AND is mountable. Is there a method to re-create the /dev/sdc device? I cannot dd or fdisk it, obviously, but I can mount the /dev/sdc1 partition and it works just fine. Not having the /dev/sdc is messing up my multipath setup (let alone whatever else might be affected). scsi3 : SFNet iSCSI driver Vendor: EQLOGIC Model: 100E-00 Rev: 2.3 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 SCSI device sdc: 8417280 512-byte hdwr sectors (4310 MB) SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write through SCSI device sdc: 8417280 512-byte hdwr sectors (4310 MB) SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 Attached scsi disk sdc at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 # ls -l /dev/sdc* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 33 Nov 7 14:45 /dev/sdc1 Thanks, Scott

by Andrew Allen 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Having just upgraded my system from CentOS 4.4 to 5.0, I'm a bit disappointed that I still can't install skype from the skype repo using yum - when I try yum install skype, I end up with: libsigc++20-2.0.17-1.el5. 100% |=========================| 217 kB 00:13 ---> Package libsigc++20.i386 0:2.0.17-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: qt4-x11 >= 4.2 for package: skype --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: qt4-x11 >= 4.2 is needed by package skype Any ideas please as to how this can be overcome so that I can install and run this very useful utility?

central logging/analysis
by Johnny Tan 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

I'm interested in doing centralized logging & analysis of logs from my CentOS boxes. I messed around with syslog-ng and it seems like it's a better syslog. But I noticed most of the "usual suspects" of third-party repo maintainers (Dag, Axel, etc.) don't include it. Karanbir has an el4 version, but all my boxes are CentOS 5. I was going to go ahead and roll my own RPM (or, rather, rebuild Karanbir's el4 version), but it occurred to me to check what others were using in this space. Just sticking with plain old syslogd? Paying for splunk? Is there something else I haven't heard about? johnn

FTP with web interface
by Ugo Bellavance 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi, I'm looking for a simple way to be able to administer ftp accounts on Centos4 (or 5, if needed). The best would be to have a web interface to do so, but I think I'd rather avoid using webmin... I've seen some tutorials for getting ftp servers to work with MySQL DBs, but I'd like to know how people are working. I'd like to have a separate set of users for ftp than for system. Thanks, -- Ugo Bellavance

Nagios on CentOS 4.5
by Jason Ross 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

First off I am a linux / CentOS newbies so go easy on me. Just curious if anyone out there is running Nagios on CentOS 4.5. I have now installed it on a second server due to issue but the issues have come back to haunt me. The OS is running on an IBM NetVista. Every thing in both installs is identical as are the problems. Once I have Nagios up and monitoring every thing hangs. Even a terminal will hang before it finally just locks up. The only thing that brings it back is a reboot. Even stopping the services doesn't work. Disk space seems fine and even during the hangs there doesn't seems to be anything taking up a tremendous amount of resources. After a reboot every thing works fine for several hours. Any guesses or suggestions? Jason Ross

AW: [CentOS] Linux PDA/smartphone sync?
by Marc R. 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi Ugo, Maybe "Funambol" could do the job :-) Many Devices will work with this Software, But i'm unsure if your Device will work. For Details you should have a closer look to: http://www.funambol.com/opensource/ Regards, Marc Rebischke ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Ugo Bellavance <ugob(a)lubik.ca> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 14. November 2007 22:13 An: centos(a)centos.org Betreff: [CentOS] Linux PDA/smartphone sync? Hi, I think I'll finally be able to move away from windows... I just installed linux and I'm wondering what people use as smartphones/PDA. I currently use a motorola V710 phone, which allows me to sync my contacts and calendar, which is all I need. I may change it soon, so I'd like to know what is best to work with linux (I use evolution right now, connected to an exchange (eventually scalix) server). I'm trying to get moto4linux to work, but I'm not even sure if I'll be able to sync my calendar + contacts with this. Any advice?

OT: Scripting with sudo password
by James A. Peltier 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Completely off topic, but I'm sure someone out there is using scripts that require a sudo password of some sort, so I'll ask. What are people doing to automate tasks that required sudo passwords in order to run? sudo without a password is not an option for me, but I would like to be able to enter the password once have it saved and then read back when sudo is required. something like run_on_all_hosts perform_sudo_command script prompts for password script lauches on all hosts and passes password when required. Any examples? -- James A.
