Looks like 3.8 is not ready to download
by Sam Trenholme 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

This is just a heads up that 3.8 does not look ready to download. There are 3.8 files at the CentOS mirrors, but the files (including the iso images) are constantly changing or disappearing. It looks like the hard-working diligent CentOS workers are making some last minute changes before getting CentOS 3.8 out the door. I presume that there will be a posting made to this list when 3.8 is ready--I hope this doesn't end up like 3.6, when the files are uploaded but not a peep on the mailing list nor webpage that a new 3.x release of CentOS has been made. I know most people are probably using 4.x, but I prefer 3.x because I know the software on this release is guaranteed to be present in any more modern Linux distro (maybe as an updated version); CentOS 3.x is the oldest codebase being currently maintained for any free Linux distro. - Sam

hdc lost interrupt
by Jamie Wilch 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hello After updating to the 2.6.9-42 kernel, one of my boxes stall during boot with hdc lost interrupt ide-cd:cmd 0x3 timed out The older 2.6.9-35 kernel boots fine. This is a Compaq Proliant PL360. The odd part is, I have another, identical Proliant that runs the new kernel just fine. Any idea what is happening? Thanks Jamie

SELinux targeted - named, portmap and syslogd errors
by Leonardo Vilela Pinheiro 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Yesterday I activated SELinux in targeted mode, then I rebooted and started receiving some error messages in the system services initialization: ====================================================================== audit(1156518721.252:2): avc: denied { read } for pid=2223 comm="syslogd" name="libc-2.3.4.so" dev=dm-0 ino=50441 scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518721.280:5): avc: denied { append } for pid=2224 comm=" syslogd" name="messages" dev=dm-3 ino=38 scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518721.757:7): avc: denied { read } for pid=2246 comm="portmap" name="libnsl-2.3.4.so" dev=dm-0 ino=48836 scontext=user_u:system_r:portmap_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518728.009:10): avc: denied { read } for pid=2411 comm="named" name="liblwres.so.1.1.2" dev=dm-0 ino=462795 scontext=user_u:system_r:named_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=file audit(1156518728.032:13): avc: denied { read } for pid=2411 comm="named" name="libgssapi_krb5.so.2" dev=dm-0 ino=459694 scontext=user_u:system_r:named_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=lnk_file ====================================================================== The SELinux policies in use are the default from Centos packages (I haven't changed anything). Surely this bind, portmap and syslogd packages came from Centos base or update. bind-chroot is not installed. Bind seems to be working fine - as a cache and as a nameserver - even with those errors. Syslog also *seems* to be ok, as it keeps logging things on /var/log/, even in /var/log/messages. I don't use Portmap, but I have left it activated. Anyways, iptables blocks it. Any ideas on what is causing the problems and how to solve it ? Thanks -- Vilela

file i/o operations...
by bruce 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

hi... i'm trying to determine which is the better way/approach to go. should an app do a great deal of file i/o, or should it do a great deal of read/writes to a mysql db... my test app will create a number of spawned child processes, 1000's of simultaneous processes, and each child process will create data. the data will ultimately need to be inserted into a db. Approach 1 ----------- if i have each child app write to a file, i'm going to have a serious hit on the disk, for the file i/o, but i'm pretty sure Centos/RH could handle it. (although, to be honest, i don't know if there's a limit to the number of simultaneous file descriptors that the OS allows to be open at the same time.) i'm assuming that the number is multiples of magnitudes more than the number of simultaneous connections i can have with a db.... i could then have a process/app collect the information from each output file, writing the information to the db, and deleting the output files as required. Approach 2 ---------- i could have each child app write to a local db, with each child app, waiting to get the next open db connection. this is limited, as i'd run into the max connection limit for the db. i'd also have to implement a process to get the information from the local db, to the master db. .. Approach 3 ----------- i could have each child app write directly to the db.. the problem with this approach is that the db has a max regarding the number of simultaneous connections, based on system resources. this would be the cleanest solution.. so... anybody have any thoughts/comments as to how one can essentially accept 1000's-10000's of simultaneous hits with an app... i've been trying to find out if there's any kind of distributed parent/child/tiered kind of app, where information/data is more or less collected and received at the node level... thanks -bruce

This could be set up automatically and fed automatically. Having something like this would help a lot of people trace problems and it would help people rebuilding packages to see what changes have been made by Red Hat. Fastrack and beta packages would give a few of ongoing changes and people could subscribe to the "svn-commits" as the are being made. Of course, this would not hold the CentOS specific changes (or other CentOS related projects) only the upstream changes. Otherwise it would be harder to follow. If this sounds interesting, I'm willing to offer to design and implement this. PS Sorry for replying to a different mailinglist, I actually wrote this mail and luckily I noticed in time it was not on a CentOS related mailinglist. :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Network interface fails after kernel upgrade
by Clive Gould 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi Yum has just updated 5 of my Linux boxes running CentOS 4.3 to the 2.6.9-42 kernel. All is well on four of the boxes, but on the fifth the network card (eth0) will not work. I've downgraded the kernel to the previous version and the network card works fine again. I've tried removing and re-installing the new kernel, but the network card won't work with it. The details of the card are as follows: lspci:- 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) /etc/modprobe.conf:- alias eth0 8139too Any suggestions welcomed.. Thanks Clive

Copying files from DOS environment based on archive bit
by Nigel Kendrick 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi Folks, I've a Linux server that has a disk on a Windows NT-based machine mounted via samba so that it appears as /share/pd on the Linux box. I am trying to automate a backup procedure that pushes files from the NT disk to another site as a ZIP file using scp. All is working OK, but I'd now like to make the backup 'incremental' so can anyone think of a way I can grab files off the NT server based on whether their archive bit is set (and then clear the bit) - I can't see that the Linux ZIP command supports this and can't see a way of doing it with mtools. I might visit this afresh and host the data files on the Linux server in due course and then have a look at tar/dar/bacula, but for the moment they must stay where they are for various technical reasons. Any ideas?! Thanks Nigel Kendrick

RE: [CentOS] OT: Help config a Cisco 2600

It's pretty broad request, and Cisco IOS is quite complex... Sorry I can't help you more, but this may be a good time to find a local person you can hire to get it configured the way you need. Once it's configured, it's pretty much set unless you change your network. HTH Mark
