I remember awhile back there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth because updates to tzdata _didn't_ update /etc/localtime. I would hope they would have fixed that by now. Part of our configuration engine makes sure that /etc/localtime is up to date with the appropriate /usr/share/zoneinfo/... file. Dave Thompson UW-Madison

tftp on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi all, I have setup tftp on centos 4 before an it worked. I am not setting up tftp on centos 5. I have added many -v -v -v -v to the tftp config file. /var/log/messages shows me connection from the IP address - but no errors. My client eventually times out as the file is not being provided. It works by the way on localhost, just not from a client. selinux is turned off. I iptables turned off. tftp is running and my files are in /tftpboot everything is read accesss. I did the yum install tftp-server as normal. Nothing is in my hosts.allow and hosts.deny why might my client be timing out... Thanks, Jerry

ssh with proxy?
by Scott Ehrlich 01 Nov '07

What is the recommended way to ssh through a proxy? I've been using putty, compiled from source, as it has a proxy option, but a native option would be very nice. Thanks. Scott

Need a package
by Bob Taylor 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I have rpms for xemacs 21.5.27-8.fc8. I *think* they will work on Centos 5? If not I can get the sources. However, at this point, I have one of those dependency hell problem. I need, for now, libtinfo. Does anyone now what package it is in? Thanks, Bob -- Bob Taylor <bob8221(a)gmail.com>

Wierd Networking Problem
by Shawn Everett 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi Guys, I'm 100% sure this is not a Linux issue but I want a second opinion... I have a Linux server running CentOS. It was been absolutely perfect without any errors or problems. Since Monday it has been unable to send email. It is configured to act as a smart host. All email gets forwarded to smtp.isp.net. The server is on a network behind a firewall completely nat'd. No ports are forwarded to it. telnet smtp.isp.net 25 generates the following: Trying a.b.c.d... Connected to smtp.isp.net. Escape character is '^]'. And then nothing. All other machines can connect to smtp.isp.net 25 without a problem. They also use that host for their outgong mail server. Using links to surf the web has a similar result. It just hangs traceroute and nslookups work correctly. There are no errors anywhere. The network in question has various routing and vlan configurations, proxy servers and such. I tend to suspect they're the problem. They're also not in my control. The firewall does show the Linux box attempting to make SMTP connections but nothing else. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I have not yet rebooted the server. Shawn

handling kernel panics
by Andy Harrison 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a problem with a couple of my centos servers hitting a kernel panic about once a week or so. I find them sitting at a panic screen like this: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/1044/screenshotoakpanicma4.jpg (58k) Two questions: 1) How do I make it reboot after a panic instead of sitting in a hung state? 2) How do I turn on logging so that I can see the entire kernel panic message? I tried changing syslog.conf so that kern.* goes to /var/log/messages instead of just kern.debug, but all that did was make booting a little more verbose in the log. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFHKK/pNTm8fWdRgmIRAjG8AKCWBUqCbl63Qrt3xjawyFeuY671vwCbBjoM +chmlC5ZHBAeh8jIMSKKKsU= =nY30 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Systems management with "func" (new Fedora project)
by Michael DeHaan 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

There's a systems management app several of us are working on in Fedora space many of you may be interested in... https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/func/ Basically func is a way to address multiple-systems at once, like SSH, but with much easier certificate distribution and pluggable XMLRPC modules (written in Python), and easy scriptability. Func's certmaster can also be used to distribute certificates to other programs for use in their communications. You can read more on the project page. There are some interesting demo apps bundled with it, like an inventory application (that uses git for storing differences), and a script which can tell you which computers on your network have exploding laptop batteries :) There are also some neat modules that can gather data from nagios plugins without having to actually have nagios installed. Anyhow, if you are interested, check out the project page and join the mailing list. We have func already submitted to Fedora, it should be in EPEL shortly, and if someone wants to include this in CentOS testing that's great too. We are very interested in people contributing new modules and scripts for things they find interesting/useful. Feedback/ideas/comments welcome. Thanks! --Michael

Re:Re: [CentOS] upgrade bind to version 9.3.4-P1 in centos 5.0, box
by BellHuang 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

hi Jim Perrin, thanks for your great info as following: No, and this is not the case. The bind version provided with centos (all versions) has security fixes backported into them. Do not rely on the version numbers as a means of assuming security fixes. See http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html for details. regards, Bell
