Running two sshd's
by Gilles CHAUVIN 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi all, I'm wondering whether it is feasible or not to run two distinct sshd daemons with different config options! I have a CentOS 4.4 gateway with 2 Ethernet interfaces. One is connected to the Internet and the other to the LAN. Basically, what I would like to do is having a sshd that listens to the LAN interface with password enabled auth. and a sshd bound to the Internet interface with forced key auth. (no password auth. allowed). I'm not sure that such a thing is possible using a single sshd_config file. What do you think would be the best way to do this? Is there someone here that already made a similar setup? Thanks for any help / ideas. Regards, Gilles.

mysql won't start
by David Mackintosh 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

OK so at some point I borked my mysql 4.1.20 installation on my x86_64 system. Possibly relevant: I have enabled the centosplus repository in yum.conf because I needed a package from there. I have not upgraded mysql from there. Everything was working, then "something" aparrently happened, and now mysql won't start. The logs say: 061031 11:37:38 mysqld started 061031 11:37:38 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 061031 11:37:38 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 061031 11:37:38 [ERROR] Aborting 061031 11:37:38 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete Now the naive would presume that there is a permissions problem on /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, right? Certainly the web suggests that this is the problem. [root@urquell2 ~]# ls -ld /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql ls: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock: No such file or directory drwxrwxr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Oct 31 11:39 /var/lib/mysql Or maybe I'm trying to run mysql as the wrong user? [root@urquell2 ~]# cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [mysqld_safe] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ...so clearly mysql is trying to tell me something but can't use the right words to describe the problem. In the highly unlikely event that someone knows what mysql is trying to say, can they tell me how I might fix this problem? But more likely I would like to reinstall the RPMs since something is broke, right? Well that isn't so simple either. [root@urquell2 ~]# rpm -e mysql error: "mysql" specifies multiple packages [root@urquell2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysql-4 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 [root@urquell2 ~]# rpm -e mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 error: "mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1" specifies multiple packages We are not even getting to the dependancy hell this will involve. So how do I fix this problem? I'd rather not pave the system and start from scratch, but honestly if I'd done that the moment that this problem manifested, I'd probably be up and running again by now. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | Public Key: dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com/dave/gpg.html $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 4C032504 Mystery attachment? http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/GPG

I've built multi-terabyte systems around CentOS, and I'm in the process of writing up the "Poor Man's SAN" in my copious free time! ;) You don't mention what kind of RAID card you're using, but I stick with 3Ware. In a nutshell, all you need to do is a minimal install of CentOS from the first CD. Yum update everything. After this point, you can config Samba for your Windows clients, or NFS for other *nixes as needed. Could probably do AFS as well for Macs, but I haven't done that before. You'll have to wait until I get my howto done to configure hourly snapshots, etc.... HTH Mark

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 - WORKING
by Tom Lichti 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

I've found a few questions about trying to get this to work, I managed to do it, and thought I'd share: - get the evdev driver here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=1745 - to install, run ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6, then make, make install. - edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "evdev" Option "Protocol" "evdev" Option "Dev Name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1.00" Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" Option "Buttons" "9" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # wheel moves forward/back in the browser EndSection To figure out the "Dev Name", "Dev Phys" and "Device" settings cat /proc/bus/input/devices. I haven't gotten the tilt wheel to work yet, but everything else is good. You may want to swap buttons 2 and 3 as well using xmodmap. HTH Tom

Spamassassin/Sendmail issues
by Tom Elsesser 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

I am running a server with Centos 4.4, using a combo of sendmail-clamav-spamassassin for mail, which has been working quite well up until last night. Around 3:00am, all mail going to all users was being rejected by spamassassin. My ~/mail/.procmailrc is as follows: ======================== MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # :0 H * ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes { EXITCODE=67 :0: /dev/null } ========================= Checking yum logs, nothing that would affect SA or sendmail was updated, so I have no idea why everything would suddenly go bananas. Clamav was updated, but that was at 5:00am, and the mails were getting bounced back starting at 3:00. I am attaching 2 maillog snips showing mail from the centos list, with one going thru as expected and the other getting bounced back per my .procmailrc file. Any help appreciated. -- TomE.

The elephant in the room: Oracle
by Tarun Reddy 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

So what does everyone else think of Oracle's announcement? http:// developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/25/2316221 I kind of think that they are going to be hurting RedHat (a valuable partner if you believe their deployment numbers). Oh silly, silly Larry. I guess the only hope that we have is that it actually increases mind share of RHEL and hence broader support for it (and subsequently CentOS). Tarun

Installing on Hardware RAID - Adaptec 7890/7860
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hello everyone, I'm trying to install the CentOS 4.4 Server CD on old hardware. The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2300 with Adaptec 7890 and 7860 controllers. It's the first time I've done a Linux install with hardware RAID. However, I'm having trouble getting CentOS (as well as Fedora Core 6) to detect the SCSI hard drives. When it comes to the part where you choose where to install Linux, it just doesn't detect the hard drives. It shows on the hardware configuration when the system boots up and when I try to install Windows 2003 Server, the drives are detected - so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Now, the question is - do I have to initialize something on the installation process? What do I do so that I can install CentOS with this specific configuration. Best regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.
