Hi, Please respond privately as this is o.t. I'm looking for individuals experienced in plesk management. I'm getting an error running plesk 8.2, it was working before an upgrade. Logging in to plesk individual clients are able to be backed up, but when atempting to back up an entire domain an error about agent-runner not being able to establish a connection is given, connection refused. I've restarted the psa service and confirmed it is running. Thanks. Dave.

glibc errors related to nss_ldap or pam_ldap?
by Bjorn Oglefjorn 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I am trying to track down the cause of some errors that have been occurring on a number of our servers using LDAP. We have noticed that when a certain LDAP group exceeds 65 users we begin seeing glibc errors for users in the group. Users that are not in the group do not exhibit this behavior. We have seen this issue on machines running Centos 4.5 x86 & x86_64 with glibc-2.3.4-2.36 and RH4 x86_64 running glibc-2.3.4-2.25. We are running Fedora Directory Server 1.0.4 on Centos 4.5. We have added a 3rd FDS slave and turned up debugging but have not seen anything that appears to be relevant in the logs on the 3rd slave. This problem is not a 65 user limit as we have other groups with well over 65 members that do not display this behavior. We also created a new group with identical users and it did not display this problem. 1) With 66 users in the massweb group [root@megalon ~]# getent group massweb *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x09a225b0 *** Aborted 2) After removing any user from the massweb group to reduce the total members to 65 [root@megalon ~]# getent group massweb massweb:x:3016:afaxon,ashairza,ccrump,jhorowit,mmarum,morendai,usmall,adroffne,afaxon,amurphre,aoliver,ayellipe,bdonohue,bdunn,beckert,blarsen,bwphilli,catanis,ccrump,chaynes,clyons,cwong,dbarber,dmuse,dnicol,edougher,egallant,ekubosia,evizcain,feeddrop,gtulonen,halokush,hbraverm,jbartus,jbrown,jhobbs,jking,jlederma,jpecora,jthayer,kbalbedi,kbeam,kginn,mbuonfig,mcrawfor,mlarsen,mlong,mwalsh,osedano,proche,prondeau,pweinber,rhorriga,rkersey,rskutins,sasaro,sbrodeur,sculver,smoriart,support,swestenh,tbaltimo,torgelfi,usmall,vvalenti Has anyone encountered a similar problem with nss_ldap or pam_ldap?

CentOS-5 - Suffering from LDAP experimentation
by James B. Byrne 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I was playing aeound with the GUI authentication configuration and was called away from my desk after I had configured the LDAP DC entries but before I had tried to start the ldap server or do much of anything else. When I returned the terminal session was screen-saver locked and entering my user password did not make it respond. I kept getting a time-out error. Rebooting took forever and was delayed for long periods at two points that I do not recall as being problems before; Loading IPtablesv6? and Starting system message bus. More importantly the user GUI takes forever to start. I am seeing these entries in the /var/log/merssages filr (vis ssh login through another system.): Sep 27 15:37:13 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server Sep 27 15:37:13 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... Sep 27 15:37:21 inet02 perl: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server ... Sep 27 15:43:26 inet02 gdm[3483]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't contact LDAP server Sep 27 15:43:26 inet02 gdm[3483]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable So, how do I undo whateever it is I borked when I experimented with LDAP? This is a rtestbox aso a re-install is not out of the question. I am digest subscriber so if you could copy me directly on any reply to the list I would be very appreciative.

Waking up X
by semi linux 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

I just finished installing CentOS 5 (again)... and I'm having trouble with my X config (I _think_). If I 'startx' then switch to a console (using CTRL+ALT+F*) and then back to X (CTRL+ALT+F7), 1/2 the time it comes back, the other half I get a black screen and I can never recover the session. X is still running (CTRL+ALT+Backspace kills it) but there seems to be some type of power saving or screensaver that kicks in and won't let the session restore... Any hints on where to look? The X logs don't _seem_ to show anything... - G.

Intrusion Detection Systems
by John Hinton 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Situation: We are providing hosting services. I've grown tired of the various kiddie scripts/dictionary attacks on various services. The latest has been against vsftpd, on systems that I can't easily control vs. putting strict limits on ssh. We simply have too many users entering from too many networks many with dynamic IP addresses. Enter.... thinking about LIDS or Log Based Intrusion Detection. I've run across four systems. Blockhosts, DenyHosts, fail2ban and OSSEC. DenyHosts apparently only works with ssh, so I've discounted using that. Is anyone using one of these or something else that I've missed. At present, I'm leaning towards OSSEC for several reasons. First it seems very robust. Second, you can set up a server/client structure, so only one machine acts as the server and all the others present data to it so that it can share with the entire system. The author seems to have considered some of the basic problems of log based systems and addressed those. There does seem to be flexibility among these three systems in having the ability to monitor just about any log system and take action based on failed logins for instance. So, whats the word from the list? Pros cons or other directions? Thanks, John Hinton

SOLUTION: How to use a custom icon for the Main Menu on the panel
by Frank Cox 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

After much head-scratching I finally figured out how to get a custom icon for the Main Menu on the panel. For the benefit of anyone else who wants a custom icon: yum install gconf-editor Run gconf-editor and go to apps - panel - objects The main menu is one of the "object_0", "object_1" items. Just go through them until you find the one that is the Main Menu. Put a checkmark in the "Use custom icon" box. Right-click on the "custom icon" entry (a few lines up from "use custom icon"), select "edit key" and enter the path to the icon you want to use. That's all there is to it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Equivalent to Solaris Zones?
by Andy Harrison 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just wondered if there was an equivalent to Solaris Zones available for Linux. Not necessarily a full blown separate operating system like vmware, but more like chroot on steroids... - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFG+AiPNTm8fWdRgmIRAhpeAJ9OfJLIqJkS3yyax0x4soSNLXrwqACgnDcj /y8ExEHCKcTMbnyTVI9IVwc= =17/j -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
