Install pauses at "Determining hostname and domain"
by Fong Vang 13 Aug '05

13 Aug '05

For some reason, CentOS 4.1 waits approximately 3-5 min at the "Determining host name and domain" during kickstart. RedHat 7.1, RedHat 9.0, RedHat Enterprise 3.0, and even CentOS 4.0 do not have this problem using the same kickstart server (my kickstart server is configured to kick all of them). Does anyone know why CentOS 4.1 is particularly slow at this stage of kickstart? Thanks for any help.

Kicker crashes on 3.4.2
by duffmckagan 13 Aug '05

13 Aug '05

I recently upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 (all manually) I know this is not a KDE Centric Mailing List, but I tried searching the Web for this error. Moreover, I can't get to the KDE Forum. :( Kicker application crashes on logout. Got a lot of takers, but no solution for that. Does anybody know a solution for this one? (This is a known bug, but I really did not find any solution.) -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

migrating thousands of users to openldap in centos!
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 13 Aug '05

13 Aug '05

List, I have 15 Tru64 Database Servers in different places all over my country, I also have thousands of users in all this servers, Now it's really a pain to administrate all this accounts in all servers, so I decided to install one CentOS server with openldap. My questions are: 1. Is it possible to migrate all users from Tru64 to one Centos/openldap server? 2. Do I have to install openldap in all servers in order to authenticate local users even though the link (between the server and ldap server goes down) and then replicate each other? 3. What is the best configuration of LDAP to fit this? 4. Is there any (Open Sorce) APP which do that? 5. Can I migrate all users using the migration tools from openldap soft in Tru64? Any help will be appreciate. Thanks in advance Regards, Israel

Bind Setup

I highly appreciate everyone's help in the caching name server bit. Building on that one: Everyone knows my issues that i am having in terms of reverse lookup so the windows clients won't freak. I have decided to switch focus..as it seemed to make sense. I am now looking to setup a full DNS server for my internal network. Everything is actually set statically via DHCP using MAC addresses.(see attached jpeg). Do i have to manually enter every machine or can the dns populate the names and ips via dhcp? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Remote archiving with tar over ssh
by James B. Byrne 13 Aug '05

13 Aug '05

I am trying to create a one line command that will: 1. Find all files ending in .conf 2. tar these over ssh to a remote server. I have reached this point in my trials. a. I can find the files. b. I can tar them locally. c. I can get a simple fileset tar'ed to a remote server over ssh using tar -zvcf - /some/fileset | ssh host.domain.tld "cat > /backup/tarfile.tar.gz d. I cannot get tar to pipe find'ed files to the remote server over ssh. My current command line looks like this. find / -name "*.conf" | xargs -t tar -zcvf - | ssh \ hostname.domain.tld \ "cat > /var/spool/lvm_backups/hostname.city/confs.$(date +'%Y%m%d').tar.gz" I have tried replacing "tar -zcvf -" with "tar -zcvf - {}" and "tar - zcvf {}" to no avail. The problem is that tar does not see the pipe to ssh and exits with signal 13. What am I missing? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

Mail server problem on CentOS 4.1
by Dominik Składanowski 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hello list. I'm configuring mail server on CentOS 4.1 (migration from SuSE). Configuration of postfix with sasl is OK - server receive and sent mails using TLS and SASL authentication. Problems: 1. When mail arrives to server it don't go to Amavis-new (from Dag repo). I added lines to master.cf as described here: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.postfix.txt and Amavis and postfix daemons starts fine. Mails just go to mailboxes bypassing Amavis-new. 2. When I try to receive mail from server through pop3 (110 tcp) or pop3s (995 tcp) (cyrus-imapd), I get an alert message: *Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.domain.com responded: Unable to locate maildrop: Mailbox does not exist* 3. How to setup: when sending mails from server console (pine or mutt) have to use sasl authentication? 4. Where are cert files used by cyrus-imapd to secure pop3s connection. I need to use my own certs. 5. After login to squirrelmail I get this http://www.ch.pw.edu.pl/~dominik/squirrelmail.png screen Regards -- ____________________________________________________________________ D o m i n i k S k ł a d a n o w s k i

Remote archiving with tar over ssh
by James B. Byrne 12 Aug '05

Ok. I discovered how to make exclusions work via find: find / $ -name "*.conf" -a -not -name "ld.so.conf" $ -type f - print That should also fix any problems with directories ending in .conf. -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

CentOS] Remote archiving with tar over ssh

I have two supplementary questions. First, what is the significance of the $() construct in bash and how does it interact with tar? Does it take the place of standard input based on its position in the utility call? Second, is there a way to exclude certain file names from matching that otherwise do? I have tried: $(find / -name /*.conf && !*.so.conf) and several variants without any success. I am not using rsync, yet, due to lack of familiarity with it and a pressing need to get something working now. Once the essentials are in place then I will look at alternatives.

In this command, the $() construct is used to return files via find to the command line for tar. It's most often used to assign variables with the value of returned commands. ie FOO=$(netstat), where by $FOO is now assigned the output of netstat. Since this is a remote command, it's neccessary to do it this way. If you were running this locally only, these two commands would be identical: tar -cvf foobar.tar `find / -name \*.conf` tar -cvf foobar.tar $(find / -name \*.conf) > Second, is there a way to exclude certain file names from matching > that otherwise do? I have tried: > > $(find / -name /*.conf && !*.so.conf) There sure is, but try something like this instead: tar c $(find / -name \*.conf -not -name \*.so.conf) | ssh host.com "gzip -c > file.tar.gz" Cheers, -Joshua

RE: [CentOS] Need a CONFIRMED working hardware sata raid10 card

I don't think CentOS support software raid 10 from the > installer. We've got a 3ware 8006-2LP [1] running under WBEL so the rest of that family should be fine under CentOS too. Took a little bit of pissing about under FC1 to get it working properly but then we just tar-ed everything off the internal disks onto SATA disks while we rebuilt the box. We just wanted it for JBOD which is why we plumped for the lower port capacity card but one of the cards with a higher port count should serve you well. The CLI's great (though readline support would be nice ;)). Does exactly what you'd want it to, you can rescan the bus, add and remove disks on-the-fly if they're in appropriate hot-swap bays (with one or 2 provisos for non-JBOD). Docs for the CLI's features for the 7/8000 series (9000 series uses different software) are here... http://www.3ware.com/support/UserDocs/CLI_UG.pdf 3ware also have a 4 disk drive, 3 5.25" drive bay drive cage [2] available, though we used 2 Vantec EZ-Swap SATA bays. The Vantec bays are a *little* flimsy but do the job well enough. Will.
