Shutdown script not being run
by Bowie Bailey 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

I've got an odd problem. My server will not shutdown normally because the AoE driver is not being shut down properly. While investigating the problem, I found that the aoe script is apparently not being called for shutdown. I have been able to duplicate this with a brand new test script. My test script is just a simple file that echos back the start or stop command: #!/bin/bash # # chkconfig: 45 01 99 # description: Test Start and stop script # echo "Called with $1" I installed it with 'chkconfig --add mytest'. The softlinks exist in the runlevel directories: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mytest /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S01mytest /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S01mytest /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K99mytest When I 'telinit 4', I can see the script output in /var/log/messages: Dec 19 11:46:49 bnofdn1 mytest: Called with start Dec 19 11:46:49 bnofdn1 rc: Starting mytest: succeeded When I 'telinit 3', there is no output from this script. It is like the script is not even being called. Am I doing something stupid here? When I do 'telinit 3' from a higher runlevel, isn't it supposed to run all of the 'K*' scripts in rc3.d with a 'stop' argument? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Bowie

Installing CentOS via HTTP
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

When, after starting the install, you get a list of places for the distribution, listing things like: CDrom, NFS, FTP, HTTP, Local hard drive What is expected on the HTTP url? The ISO images? Help please, as the system I am installing on, boots off of CDrom, but then the CDrom seems to be so old (Toshiba NW24XCD), that there is no Linux driver for it in the base install. And I cannot figure out how to get it to read from the CD, but I DO have LAN access....

DELL SC430 + CentOS 4.0 + SATA HDDs
by Andrew Vong 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Dear gurus, Three DELL SC430s were purchased by my company a few months back and I've been told that when they spoke with the DELL representatives, they were informed that these servers were fully RHEL 4.0 compatible. Specs of the servers:- - Pentium 4 - 2.8 GHz - 1 GB RAM - 2x 250GB SATA HDDs I tried installing CentOS 4.0 on it but it doesn't seem to be able to detect any hard disks. Has anyone out there successfully installed CentOS 4.0 on a Dell SC430? Please help. Your guidance is greatly appreciated. TIA, Andrew

RE: [CentOS] Installing CentOS via HTTP
by Bassett, Mark 19 Dec '05

To do a HTTP install you need a mounted ISO image. What we have set up here is a yam repository to do all our updating plus installations. http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/ It works great for us and cuts down on internet traffic. Our yam box syncs off a centos mirror and we pull all our updates from the local repository. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Robert Moskowitz Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 9:18 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] Installing CentOS via HTTP When, after starting the install, you get a list of places for the distribution, listing things like: CDrom, NFS, FTP, HTTP, Local hard drive What is expected on the HTTP url?

Belkin F5D6050 USB Wireless in CentOS 4.2
by Barry Brimer 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Is anyone successfully using a Belkin F5D6050 USB Wireless in CentOS 4.2? If so, what driver are you using? Did you have to do anything special to make it work? At this point, I have downloaded, compiled installed and loaded the latest drivers from http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net but lvnet is unable to find my adapter. I've tried every driver module that it created, and still no luck. Any tips, info or hints would be appreciated. Thanks, Barry

Compilation problem - CentOS 4.2 - x86_64
by kadafax 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

Hi list, Here it is: I have compiled with no problem courier-imap-4.0.4 on this arch (x86_64). Now I want to update my install with 4.0.6. I want to do this because the server is not yet in a production state, so if a major flaw affects courier-imap in the future, I could react more quickly. And indeed I'm encountering problems with the make process (Since I initialy build courier-imap from sources and that I dont want FAM, I'm not using the rpmbuild process). I've stricly followed the INSTALL's instructions. I believe the problem comes from the mixed libraries living on the system (x86_64 and, for compatibility purpose, i386) and I didn't find a workaround on this. I'm near to switch to dovecot if it can handle quite large amount of users (500-1000 accounts). That would be bad because I think courier-imap is well doing its job. By the way, someone tolds me that courier-imap and RHEL4 (and clones) is a bad idea, someone can confirm? So: [user@host courier-imap-4.0.6]$ ./configure --with-redhat ... // process goes ok, no warning no errors configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating imapd.dist config.status: creating imapd-ssl.dist config.status: creating pop3d.dist config.status: creating pop3d-ssl.dist config.status: creating testsuitefix.pl config.status: creating mkimapdcert config.status: creating mkpop3dcert config.status: creating imapd.cnf config.status: creating pop3d.cnf config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands [user@host courier-imap-4.0.6]$ make ... // I'm just pasting the first errors, the others seems to come from the first ones anyway: In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/stl_tree.h:66, from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/set:66, from maildirkeywords.h:435, from maildirkeywords4.cpp:9: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/stl_algobase.h:64:28: bits/c++config.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/stl_algobase.h:70, from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/stl_tree.h:66, from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/set:66, from maildirkeywords.h:435, from maildirkeywords4.cpp:9: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/iosfwd:46:29: bits/c++locale.h: No such file or directory /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/iosfwd:47:25: bits/c++io.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/stl_tree.h:67, from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/set:66, from maildirkeywords.h:435, from maildirkeywords4.cpp:9: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/allocator.h:52:31: bits/c++allocator.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/stl_tree.h:67, from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/set:66, from maildirkeywords.h:435, from maildirkeywords4.cpp:9: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/allocator.h:80: error: expected template-name before '<' token /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/allocator.h:80: error: expected `{' before '<' token /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/allocator.h:80: error: expected unqualified-id before '<' token /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/bits/allocator.h:80: error: expected `;' before '<' token In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/../../../../include/c++/3.4.4/set:67, from maildirkeywords.h:435, from maildirkeywords4.cpp:9: ...

Install problems for a Toshiba NW24XCD
by Robert Moskowitz 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

I am trying to install Centos on my old Portege 2490CT. Actually a pretty good box, but it does not support USB booting. Only HDD, FDD (interestingly a USB device), 'CD-Rom', or LAN. The only CDroms I have is a nice USB drive and an old PCMCIA toshiba NW24XCD drive. I have not gotten this system to boot off of my USB CDrom. It will boot of the NW24XCD. So I put the CentOS disk 1 in the drive and boot. Boot seems to go OK, it asks my the language preferences but then gives me the dialog: What type of Media contains the packages to be installed? When I select CDrom I get the dialog: Unable to find may devices of the type neededfor this installation type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk? And there is a list of a bunch of drivers. I have a hunch that my PCMCIA NW24XCD is not a standard supported drive. :( So what from the list do I select? Or where do I get a driver disk? POI: I am not a Unix skilled person. I can get by with VI and the like, but otherwises I just have not devoted the time needed... HELP?

SMB server with CentOS 4
by Ugo Bellavance 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

Hi, I need to set up a small server for a group of ~10 employees (all using Windows 2000/XP, used to use a windows 2000/exchange setup). I have a linux server already running CentOS 4, so I'd like to do all I can with this. I thought about using Samba for file/print sharing and OpenXchange (commercial version) to have a nice collaborative/mail/calendar/etc server. Of course, it would probably be the dhcp and internal DNS server. I started reading the Samba doc, but it is rather long. I planned on using this server as a PDC so that it is not too different from using their former windows 2000 server. I'll be managing this server, which is currently a staging server for web development (php/mysql/cvs). Anyone has a opinion on this, or better ideas? My backups will be based on utilities and mondorescue, kept on a internal (cold-swap drawer) hard-drive that I would take every week (2-drawers rotation). Any recommendations welcome, will provide more details if needed. TIA, -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail. I read the list. -> Please avoid top-posting, long signatures and HTML, and cut the irrelevant parts in your replies.
