CentOS 4.3 - MySQL - NIS user issue
by Tom Brown 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi I have what i think is a strange issue - All my users are NIS users and they can access this box fine. I have a MySQL server running on this box that is running fine. The OS 'root' user can authenticate and use MySQL fine e.g. [root@xxxxxxx]# mysql -u bugs -pxxxx bugs Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 5 to server version: 3.23.58 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> Yes i know thats an ancient MySQL version but this is an app requirement, dont get me started! now when a NIS user tries to use the db [root@xxxx]# su - bugzilla bugzilla@xxxx$ mysql -u bugs -pxxxx bugs ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) any ideas why this is or what i can do to make it work? thanks

Yum choosing remote repositories first
by Rodrigo Barbosa 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okey, here is something interesting. So I finished downloading all CentOS 4.4 images (CDs and DVD) before anything else. Now I have the dvd iso mounted (-o loop), and changed CentOS-Base.repo so the [base] repo will point to it. # yum update Boom! Yum tries to use the [update] repository (not local) to upgrade to 4.4. What I ended up doing is: # yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base update Which, of course, works fine and uses my local (file://) repository. Is this the only way to do it, or did I miss something ?

Minor 4.4 upgrade oddity
by Bart Schaefer 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

I ran "yum upgrade" early yesterday from a remote ssh login, but upon looking at the set of packages I decided to wait until I could sit at the console to reboot. So I declined to proceed with the upgrade when prompted. Later when I ran "yum ugrade" again, it found no packages to update. After some poking around checking the mirrors, running "yum clean headers", etc., I finally tried "yum clean all" and thereafter "yum ugrade" worked flawlessly. I've never seen this happen with "yum update", so I don't know why it would be different with "upgrade", but there you are.

LVM chown issues
by Devraj Mukherjee 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi Everyone, I have got CentOS 64bit running on a Dell PowerEdge SC1850 with hardware raid 1. My LVM partions donot seem to honour chown commands for symbolic links. Is this normal? All other files and directories honour it.

CentOS Cluter on SunFire X4100s
by Hollen Streit 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Greetings! Just joined the list, after looking at the mail archives and such. I have a few SunFire X4100s on the way, and I was wondering if anyone here has ever ran CentOS in a cluster environment? (I'm looking in Oscar's general direction.)

Basically, what I did was to run Adam Stoke's script to remove duplcate packages. It can be located at http://astokes.org/?q=node/49 That website is no longer working. Is there still a copy of this script floating around? -- Bowie

No problems in 4.3-to-4.4 upgrade
by Steve Snyder 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Another data point: I updated 2 machines, one a P3-UP machine and the other a P3-SMP machine. Both were fully updated with the CentOS 4.3 errata releases. I did this on each machine: yum clean all yum -y update yum yum clean all yum upgrade No errors or warnings (beyond a few config files installed as .rpmnew) were seen during the upgrade process. I rebooted immediately after the upgrade was complete. In the 3 hours since upgrading I have seen no problems with the upgraded software. Good job, Johnny!

Upgrade 4.3 to 4.4 appeared to die half-way through
by Max H. 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Interesting problem here...perhaps. I just upgraded about 6 machines this morning after syncing a local yum server with no problems...until I get to my personal laptop of course. I did the usual: yum update yum yum update It went about half way through and then the terminal seemed to just die. It just sat there stuck in limbo. I let it go for about 30 minutes and it never moved, so I killed the terminal, but yet yum was still running as a process which I had to kill. Reluctantly I rebooted, and everything came up ok, but I'm very hesitant to believe that things are tip-top. Is there anything I can do or anyway I can check anything to double check things are actually fine? The /etc/redhat-release shows ok: cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) I've been watching top and all that good stuff. All my services appear ok as well, but call me paranoid because I'm convinced something has to be wrong. Should I stop with my paranoia and just chalk it up to my bash session died, yum completed ok, but hung afterwards? Thanks! Max

no yum update problems
by Email Lists 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

FWIW this has served me very well when any new update comes out, whether there is a yum upgrade or not. yum clean all yum update yum yum clean all yum update or yum check-update | more and make choices later... etc man yum can help of course... I tend to wait until the highest traffic is gone too unless there is something specific I need bug or security wise. Also, it is a good idea to make wise use of your yum.conf and specifically the exclude= area (see below yum.conf file listing) [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest exclude=clam* exim perl* postfix sendmail spamassassin distroverpkg=centos-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net
