Hi Centos Users I would like to allow outgoing traffic to Google Analytics servers (destination port 80). I wish to do a iptables rule. How to whitelist all Google Analytics servers? cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle(a)swissjabber.org

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.

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.

rsync problem
by Scott Moseman 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I have a simple script that sends one file to two locations on the same destination server. Here's the code: DEST="remotehost" SRC="/home/boss/application.conf" DST1="/home/user1/application.conf" DST2="/home/user2/application.conf" RSYNC1=`rsync -caW -e ssh $SRC $DEST:$DST1` RSYNC2=`rsync -caW -e ssh $SRC $DEST:$DST2` This runs every 5 minutes. What I'm seeing is the first location occasionally gets a *partial* file, but the second location never has a problem. There does not appear to be any obvious correlation to why this would be happening. I have never witnessed the problem when running the script by hand to try and duplicate, witness any error output, etc. Any idea how to troubleshoot? Or how I can get rsync to verify the file has been transferred without error? A more reliable alternative than using rsync for this situation? Thanks, Scott

OT: Slow browsers or slow connections?
by Mark Hull-Richter 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I have AT&T (formerly SBC) DSL for my primary internet connection here, and tonight it has been exceptionally, extraordinarily S - L - O - W.... Pages that normally load in, at most, seconds, are taking several minutes to locate, even common, frequent access pages like Google, Gmail, etc. I called AT&T, of course, and all they know about is IE, which, as you can probably guess, I rarely use. Normally I use SeaMonkey, with Firefox as a last ditch backup, on the Linux side, and SeaMonkey in my Windows VM-guest, with IE as the absolute last ditch backup. I tried their on-the-phone-quick-fix and turned off my modem and router for the recommended 20 seconds (more like 30), and this did no good as far as I could see. (The router is for convenience when I need multiple connections - typically, as now, this is the only computer connected to it.) However, I played along with their "support" person (they need more support than they give out...), and their suggestion was to go into IE (groan, double groan to fire up the Windows VM guest), delete all cookies, delete all files, and clear the history. Funny thing is, that worked - for IE. So, I go back to my CentOS SeaMonkey and clear the cache and the history. I'm not sure what else to do, though, because that didn't solve the problem, and Firefox is as slow as my SeaMonkey. Any suggestions? Are there corollaries to IE's "files" for SM or Ff? Thanks. mhr

RE: [centos] how to know when files have finished ftping? --antairrestored
by Colht, Charles 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Just to chime in here, what I use is another file that is transferred last. It can be zero sized. Just some name you look for and then delete when you are done for next time. It doesn't matter how long that one takes because you will know that the important files are already transferred. chuck -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Neil Aggarwal Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 7:28 AM To: 'CentOS mailing list' Subject: RE: [centos] how to know when files have finished ftping? --antairrestored Geoff: I used lsof.

mirrors.kernel.org path change...
by John R Pierce 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

minor thing, the URL has changed for the mirrors.kernel.org rsync... its now.. rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/mirrors/centos or mirrors.kernel.org::mirrors/centos (previously, it was rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos ) this probably should be updated on http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13

Pre-built kernel 2.6.20 for CentOS 5?
by Kevin Thorpe 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Can anyone point me towards a pre-built kernel 2.6.20 for CentOS 5? I need the later version to run Yosemite backup. I thought I was being clever and installed a Fedora kernel and it worked 99%, sadly the bit that didn't was the tape device which rather spoiled things. thanks, Kevin Thorpe
