CentOS 4.4 smp on Dual Quad Core Xeon
by Jerry Muller 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I'm booting the default kernel on a dual quad core Xeon machine. I only see four CPUs and I expect to see 8. Do I have to build a custom kernel? Is there a switch or configuration parameter I need to set? Thanks, Jerry

Problem with VSFTP
by Rajeev R Veedu 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I have setup an ftp server with VSFTP over Centos 4.4. Everything works fine except when I login though IE it doen' ask for the username password but by default it goes to Pub folder. (/var/ftp/pub). I need to access this through view--> open ftp folder in separate window -> file --> login. In short the server doesn't prompt for username when I type the ftp address on the address bar. Instead it takes you to public folder. Is there any way I could get the login prompt when typing the ftp address? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Rajeev Please find below the vsftpd.conf #anonymous_enable=YES # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022, # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's) #local_umask=022 # # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user. #anon_upload_enable=NO # # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create # new directories. #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES # # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they # go into a certain directory. dirmessage_enable=YES # # Activate logging of uploads/downloads. xferlog_enable=YES # # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES # # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not # recommended! chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=whoever # # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log # # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format xferlog_std_format=YES # #local_root=/Data/$HOME # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session. #idle_session_timeout=600 # # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection. #data_connection_timeout=120 # # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user. #nopriv_user=ftpsecure # # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it, # however, may confuse older FTP clients. #async_abor_enable=YES # # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII # mangling on files when in ASCII mode. # Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties # to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in # ASCII mode. # These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish # to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking), # without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be # on the client anyway.. #ascii_upload_enable=YES #ascii_download_enable=YES # # You may fully customise the login banner string: ftpd_banner=Welcome to MY FTP server. # # You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently # useful for combatting certain DoS attacks. #deny_email_enable=YES # (default follows) #banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails # # You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of # users to NOT chroot(). chroot_list_enable=YES # (default follows) chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list # #chroot_local_user=YES # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it. #ls_recurse_enable=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES #enable for standalone mode listen=YES tcp_wrappers=YES

Of the various audio players installed, xmms is the only one not intuitively obvious to me. I spent a few minutes this morning and I got it to work! :-) Now, if I can find an RPM for the xmms Output Plugin for MP3 that works in CentOS 4.4, that will enable me to convert selected tracks to mp3 and use them in my cell phone. >Hope that helps! It did! :-) Thanks much!

Kernel panic kickstarting to CentOS 4
by Cynthia Kiser 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I have an older server I am trying to update to CentOS 4.3 but I can't get to the installer screen because the machine kernel panics when booted from the install CD. The error message I get is: Kernel panic - not syncing: include/linux/smp_lock.h:25 spin_unlock(kernel/sched.c:c035) not locked The boot messages before this point are mainly to do with acpi including: acpi_ps_parse_anl acpi_?s_one_complete ... acpi_early_init start_kernel Kernel panic .... At a guess, I tried starting the installer with the options: linux text acpi=off noprobe I am not really clear on what part of the boot process is failing so I tried a number of random boot options including apm=off, noapic, apic, nomce. Nothing I tried change the error. (I also tried installing RHEL 4 but I got the same failure with less informative error reporting: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!) I also tried changing my BIOS options - changing the interupt mode from APIC to PIC which, if I understand the manual correctly, seems to be AMIBIOS's version of turning off Plug and Play. Same error. Can anyone tell me what sort of thing is going wrong? Is the smp_lock.h stuff for dual processors? The motherboard I have would support 2 processors, but I only have one installed so don't see why I am in SMP code. Is there something I can do to get CentOS 4 to install? The only thing I can think of I haven't tried is to update the BIOS - mostly because the instructions are not very well translated so I am not completely sure how to use the Dual BIOS feature to roll back if the new BIOS version creates more problems than it solves. Hardware: Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassVal… CPU is a single AMD XP2100+ Disk is a normal IDE Maxtor Memory 3 G of DDR SDRAM I can install CentOS 3.8 on this machine just fine, but I would like to move to CentOS 4 because that is what my beefier database machines are running (or will when I get the rest of them upgraded). Thanks for any help folks can give me. -- Cynthia Kiser
