New mailing list and wiki contribution
by Ralph Angenendt 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Have some Tips and Tricks for doing stuff the easy (and right) way? Ever wanted to do that writeup of what you achieved with spec files? What about that news server howto in the upper drawer of your desk? That apache tuning paper on your computer? Your shortcut collection for Gnome? Or whatever might help people with using CentOS? This is your chance: We're looking for contributors to the CentOS wiki, for people who want to spread their knowledge to other users, for people who actually like writing documentation. Want to do it? It's easy. Head over to <http://wiki.centos.org/>. Find out where *your* contribution fits best. Create a Login on that page with a username in the format FirstnameLastname. Then subscribe to the centos-docs mailing list at <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs>. After going through the subscription stuff write a mail to centos-docs(a)centos.org in which you describe *what* you want to put *where* on the wiki. If you know which name that page should get - that's even better. Someone of the Wiki Admins will then create that page for you and give you edit permissions. Et voilà - you can create your page. Once you have contributed more than a little content and have shown a desire to keep it up(dated), we'll open up edit permissions for you. Okay, I lied. It's not really easy. Believe us, we would like to have an open wiki where everyone can edit pages by just creating a login and then going ahead. But it's not possible for us to scan the wiki for changes all the time. Say thanks to the spammers who "contribute" everywhere they are able to. About the mailing list: It's not only for contributing to the wiki, but also for discussing about articles (i.e. article quality) on the wiki - and possibly also for discussion about general CentOS documentation. We'll see. See <http://wiki.centos.org/HowToContribute> for more information. Thanks for letting me interrupt your reading of other fine mails on this list.

postfix pb with mass emails
by sophana 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hi I'm hosting a forum (phpbb) with more than 3500 users with centos 4.3. The forum admins would like to send an email to its (3500) users. I configured phpbb to use smtp (postfix-2.1.5-4.2.RHEL4.mysql.centos4) to send the email. I raised the max destination limit from 1000 to 5000, and made a test. Here the disaster began: Majority of the users received from 20 to 50 emails. Looking at the logs, postfix divided the email into several ones with 50 recipient each (as documented). I think the problem was that when one of the recipients was unreachable, the mail went into defered state, to be retried later. The problem (bug?) is that the mail was sent again to all 50 recipients, explaining why so many users received lot of mails. Anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestion for that? Regards Sophana

After update to 4.4, sshd chroot misconfigured
by Jed Reynolds 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I started seeing messages like this in logs after I applied the 4.3 to 4.4 update: 192.168.0.20 sshd[25622]: Postponed publickey for barney from ::ffff:192.168.0.12 port 40291 ssh2 Some googling revealed that the version of sshd I am now running is chrooted, but the chroot environment is incomplete. Instructions for completing the chroot environment can be found here: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193184 Jed Reynolds

How to find differences in Centos Builds
by Andrew Elliott 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Good Afternoon, Long story short I recently upgraded my CentOS 4.4 from: 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL to 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL and am having problems with dhcp, dns and ftp (very funky nat setup, don't ask). My question is: What is the best way of troubleshooting issues after upgrading? Is there a list of changes between versions that I can look at somewhere? (obviously, but where?) I've already done a diff between kernel variables(net.ipv4.*) and found some differences. I've also taken a look at which packages yum has updated in the process. Am I going to have to go through changelogs for each package to find out what I'm looking for? There are no kernel panics, no obvious errors and all services appear to start fine.... Thanks in advance. Andrew Elliott.

new Centos 4.4 install--display update very SLOW
by fredex 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hi! I just installed Centos 4.4 on a machine at work, yesterday. Mostly it went well with just a couple of glitches. One of them is slow video performance. No, I'm not playing 3d games at work! :) Scrolling/repainting terminal windows is plainly MUCH slower than it is on my Centos 4.4 desktop at home. Machine at home is an Athlon XP 2600+ with one gig of RAM. Machine at work is a P4 2.26 Ghz with a gig of RAM. Before Centos, the one at work had RHEL WS 2.1, which did not exhibit the same issue. It was using KDE as the main desktop, while this time it is (so far) set to use Gnome (as is the box at home). Scrolling through a big file with less, for example, you can watch it paint the screen. Hitting 'B' to go back a screen is almost painful, you see it scroll part of the screen down, slowly, then fill in each line above that. It's the same hardware that was there before, the only thing that has changed is the OS. Clues? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) -----------------------------
