packages
by John Dangler 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

sorry for the newb questions, but I'm new to linux administration, and even newer to centOS. I do have some experience with Gentoo Linux. How can I get a list of packages that are installed in my system? Is there an equivalent of merge -uDvt world? (This updates the installed packages with latest releases) Is there an equivalent of portage in centOS? (The portage site lists all available packages for Gentoo by 'category'). Thanks for the help.

On the assumption that maybe OpenLDAP just doesn't like bdb 4.4, I built and installed bdb 4.3 and then tried the OpenLDAP build again. This time I get a different message: checking db.h usability... yes checking db.h presence... yes checking for db.h... yes checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb43)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-43)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.3)... yes checking for Berkeley DB version match... Berkeley DB version mismatch header: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (February 22, 2005) library: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.29: (September 6, 2005) no configure: error: Berkeley DB version mismatch It seems like it is getting the header from the rpm install. I don't want to remove the rpm because of dependencies (Perl, Python, PAM, etc). Is there any way I can leave the old rpm in place and just compile OpenLDAP against the newer build? Thanks, Bowie

wait() fails
by Michael Ubell 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I have a program that forks a child, sleeps for a while and then kills the child and waits for it. On CentOs (4) the wait sometimes fails with a "No child" error. I have not seen this on any other system. This program has been running for years on Solaris, older Redhat distributions, etc. I would say the failure rate is about 1 in 10. I put a breakpoint on the error and forced the code to wait again. It works the second time. Is this a known bug? Mike

I have a server that is running iptables. I'm trying to allow vsftpd in and have the following rules. I can connect to it, but when I try to do a listing it says "Entering Passive Mode" but doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? Thanks, James # define it -N FTP_INP -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --sport 1024: --dport 21 -m state --state NEW -j FTP_INP # rules -A FTP_INP -j ACCEPT # go back -A FTP_INP -j RETURN -N FTP_OUT -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 21 -m state --state NEW -j FTP_OUT -A FTP_OUT -j ACCEPT -A FTP_OUT -j RETURN

why was LILO removed from centOS 4.2?
by Ulrik S. Kofod 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I can't choose LILO as boot loader anymore in the install process? And what is the advantages in GRUP vs. LILO that are so great that LILO has been deleted all together? One big disadvantages when forced to use GRUB is that it is a hassle to make the disks in a RAID1 bootable. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-March/msg05935.html and RAID1 seems pretty useless when it is the only bootable disk that fails. can someone come up with a nice one-liner that will make GRUB "global" like LILO is out-of-the-box ? or is ther a parameter you can give? I don't know about you but when one of my disks fails I really don't need too many new check marks to worry about on my to do list. best regards Ulrik

clicking backspace in centos3 makes ^?
by Robin Mordasiewicz 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

While in centos3, using vim and clicking the backspace I see the ^? character instead of it actually deleteing the previous character. In centos4 this was not a problem. I have rad about remapping keys and such, but can someone tell me what the difference between centos4 and centos3 is so I can make the change to make it work on centos3.

CentOS 4 and Intel Wireless 2200BG (ipw2200)
by Barry Brimer 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I am going to be setting up an Intel 2200bg card this evening. I was wondering if anyone is using this (successfully) with CentOS 4. The directions look straightforward, but please let me know if you had to do anything interesting/undocumented to make it work. I am also wondering if people are using the driver provided with the current CentOS 4 kernel or if people are using the most recent version, and if so are you using the one from ipw2200.sourceforge.net or from intel.com Thanks, Barry

Too much memory cache being used while moving large file
by Sean O Sullivan 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

System : CentOS 4.2 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp System fully up-to-date. 3GB RAM 3ware 9000S card, with Raid5 array. I think that's about all relevant info ... Had file on disk (not array), attempted to mv file to array. Went fine till 2.4GB was copied, then it slowed down to a meg every few minutes. Free memory was ~50MB (Typically is 1.5-2GB), and cache was 2.5GB. Stopped the move, however cache not being cleared out -- and this issue continues to happen - unsure if it was always a problem/known issue, it does however only occur when copying a single file > 2.4GB (I have copied 5+GB of 1+GB files in the past without issue). Also, saw following in dmesg while this was going on: Out of Memory: Killed process 12467 (mysqld). I'll be restarting server later on tonight, which will 'fix' immediate problem, however just curious on thoughts in regards to this. Regards, Sean O Sullivan
