by Aleksandar Milivojevic 01 May '06

Just wondering, is firefox-1.5.0.2-3.c4.centos from centospolus repo (x86_64 version) crashing for anybody else when opening /usr/share/doc/udev-039/writing_udev_rules/index.html file? It sure makes firefox crash every time for me. -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/

ip_conntrack_ftp fails to load on CentOS 4.3
by Barry L. Kline 01 May '06

01 May '06

I have a CentOS 4.3 box that is giving me some serious problem. During the "yum update" from 4.2 -> 4.3 I lost my connection (okay, I accidentally closed the window). I logged back on and did another yum update, and it appeared as though things completed properly. Everything is working fine, up until one of my hosting clients noted that he is now unable to use ftp to update his web site. He could when I was running 4.2. Upon further inspection, I noted that the ip_conntrack_ftp module wasn't loaded. When I tried to insert it manually via "modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp" I get what appears to be a hang in the terminal session. Logging on via a separate session I can see that there are tons of "modprobe" processes being spawned. I can use ^C to break out of modprobe and the processes all die. Thinking that I may borked the kernel install, I dropped back to the 2.6.9-22SMP.EL kernel, where I still cannot load the module. I then removed the -34* kernel packages and reinstalled them, then booted into them. No dice. Just for fun, I cleared all iptables entries, and tried again. No dice. Short of a reload (which would be inconvient, given that the box is 100 miles away) I'm at a loss at what to look at next. Everything appears to be fine. The machine is a dual-Athlon box, SCSI, with selinux in permissive mode. Using "strace modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp" I get the results which are at the end of this message. The "unfinished" entry at the end occured when I hit ^C. None of my other boxes (4.2->4.3 upgrades) have this problem. An "rpm -Va" doesn't present any unexpected results (e.g. Those files noted as changed have been, by me.) What have I missed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

PXE boot, Kickstart NFS install and %include...
by Ron Loftin 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi Will, I saw your question in the digest version of the list, and thought you might be interested in my solution. I do have it working, and there are a couple of points that I didn't see mentioned in the other parts of this thread, or just were mentioned in passing. The following is a kickstart file for a workstation install on my network. ******************** Begin example ks file *************************** # # Custom partitioning and package selection on mirrored 4.5GB SCSI disks # # nfs --server=server --dir=/export/os-cd/centos/4/os # Use NFS installation media lang en_US.UTF-8 # Language used during installation process langsupport en_US.UTF-8 # Language module(s) to install keyboard us # System keyboard text # Install in text mode %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/general-setup %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/disp/sun-21-inch %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/fw/disabled %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/dsk/4gb-scsi-mirror %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/pkg/ws %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/pkg/cd-burn %pre # # Mount the KickStart tree # mkdir /mnt/ks mount server:/export/install/rhl/kickstart /mnt/ks # # Save DNS config # cp -p /etc/resolv.conf /tmp # %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/post-scripts %include /mnt/ks/centos/4/ks/boot-mirror-scsi ******************** End example ks file ***************************** ******************** Example disk config module ********************** # # Custom partitioning for mirrored 4.5GB SCSI disks # #Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr yes #Clear all partitions from the disk clearpart --initlabel --all part raid.11 --noformat --asprimary --size 2048 --grow --ondisk sda part raid.12 --noformat --asprimary --size 256 --ondisk sda part raid.13 --noformat --asprimary --size 256 --ondisk sda part raid.14 --noformat --asprimary --size 1024 --ondisk sda part raid.21 --noformat --asprimary --size 2048 --grow --ondisk sdb part raid.22 --noformat --asprimary --size 256 --ondisk sdb part raid.23 --noformat --asprimary --size 256 --ondisk sdb part raid.24 --noformat --asprimary --size 1024 --ondisk sdb raid / --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md0 raid.11 raid.21 raid swap --fstype swap --level 1 --device md1 raid.12 raid.22 raid /var --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md2 raid.13 raid.23 raid /tmp --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md3 raid.14 raid.24 ******************** End disk config module ************************** The first 5 lines seem to be required in all kickstart files, or at least I have not been able to do it otherwise. The next lines are modules that describe other KS parameters, display config, firewall config, disk partitions and mirroring, and lists of software groups and/or individual packages to install. One VERY IMPORTANT point to remember is shown in the "%pre" script. This is how to make the modules available to anaconda for processing. Just mount the tree where the modules live somewhere on the target system where you can tell anaconda to go read it. Here, I just create a new directory ( /mnt/ks ) and all %include directives reference that tree. Again, all paths must be specified the way that the CLIENT will evaluate them. After that, it's a snap. You can do almost anything you want as far as including other config files, additional pre/post scripts, whatever. The biggest limit I've found so far is the imagination of the person setting up the process. -- Ron Loftin reloftin(a)twcny.rr.com "God, root, what is difference ?" Piter from UserFriendly

fedora directory server (FDS)
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 01 May '06

01 May '06

Thanks Craig for your soon answer.. I've now the FDS up and running... I am now creating my users in FDS because I want to unify the authentication of my 3 centos servers. BUT, When I create my users in FDS I don't see any option of UID, GID, home directory, etc, so the FDS server return an error and my remote users can't authenticate....... my question is? 1. Can I use FDS to authenticate remote linux users? I mean create in FDS a user with UID, GID, home directory. 2. Can I set up another server with authconfig (Use LDAP Authentication) pointing to my FDS? 2. Does FDS do exactly the same of openldap? 3. Does anybody knows any way to migrate all users from /etc/passwd to FDS? (I know openldap does) 4. Is FDS better than Openldap? PD: I just want set up a LDAP server to my network to unify all my servers. Regards; Israel
