Problem with VSFTPD on I/F aliased IP
by James B. Byrne 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

I am trying to get VSFTPD to listen on a particular IP. The ifconfig output for the host is: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:aaa.bbb.ccc.26 Bcast:aaa.bbb.ccc.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: xxxx::xxx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:223374 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:136053 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:22056304 (21.0 MiB) TX bytes:20211609 (19.2 MiB) eth0:180 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:aaa.bbb.ccc.180 Bcast:aaa.bbb.ccc.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) eth0:184 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:aaa.bbb.ccc.184 Bcast:aaa.bbb.ccc.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:674 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:674 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:506130 (494.2 KiB) TX bytes:506130 (494.2 KiB) I can start vsftpd with the default vsftpd.conf.

Can anyone help. I get the digest version of this list so replies to both the list and directly to myself are greatly appreciated.

There are several ways of getting around that from simplest to hardest -- - Add '/sbin/mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD' to /etc/rc.local - Add '/sbin/mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD ${DEVICE}' to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post - research your card driver and add the appropriate arguments in /etc/modules.conf. I almost always opt for the first option. As has been previously noted, you must make sure that the switch, hub or router that you are connected to is also forced to the same speed and duplex. -- Marc

Just an update to this... I upgraded the firmware on the SCSI RAID controller to version 413O-A09 as found at this link: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s= bsd&SystemID=PWE_PNT_XEO_1750&os=LE30&osl=en&deviceid=2608&devlib=35&cat egory=35&releaseid=R85295 Since upgrading the firmware we have had no more kernel panic problems. Thanks to everyone for your help, and thanks to Johnny Hughes for providing the easy links to the firmware. Bob.

red hat network on gnome bootsplash, CentOS 4

CentOS 4, booting into gnome I noticed the line "starting the red-hat network monitor" flash up. I do not know if this is a no-no or not.

vino question
by Lee Parmeter 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

The Vino package is installed on my CentOS 4 server, but I am unable to connect to it using vncviewer (vncviewer srvhost:0) from a client. However, I am not sure if it is "running" or how to "start" it if this is needed. The client machine in this case is running Ubuntu Hoary (gnome 2.10). The connection is just rejected. So, I am now wondering what else needs to be done to enable remote connects to succeed. I did configure the "remote desktop" settings on the server per discussion in the thread. I am on trusted network and have the firewall support turned off on both machines. I would just use the standard Xvnc and "vncviewer hostname:1", which does work, but when I login via vncviewer I am unable to do any root configuration via gnome. In other distros, I have not had this problem. I run my file server without a monitor, so I need full access to root settings from gnome just like I have when logged in non-root using a monitor and keyboard.

Max FIFO buffer size - Log Reporting
by Lee W 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Hi Everyone, I need to be able to create a summary report of all relevent syslog entries that is then emailed weekly. The idea I have for this is to pipe the syslog entries (logged from many hosts UNIX-Like and Windows) out to a a named pipe (say /var/log/logpipe) that is then read periodically by a perl script started from cron. The perl script then filters the log entries (probably using regular expressions) and takes the appopriate action based on the severity of the error (i.e. log to summary file, or immediately email admin). My main concern is that if a lot of entries get logged the FIFO buffer may overload therefore loosing entries. Does anyone know what the size of the FIFO buffer is (or how it can be configured) or maybe there is a better way to do something like what I'm trying. TIA Regards Lee W

using vino on centos 4
by Joe Pruett 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

sorry i figured this out after deleting the other parts of the thread. just run vino-preferences as the user who runs the main x display. it will have various options to enable and as soon as you do that you can get to hostname:0 via vnc. works quite well.

MIrrored drives won't boot after installation
by Chris Mason (Lists) 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

I have a p4 motherboard with 2 ide interfaces, I connect 2 40 GB drives as hda and hdc, I install Centos 4 from a CDROM, and partition the drives as 2 x raid partition each plus a swap partition on hda, the make md0 and md1 to install /boot and / respectively. Install goes well, everything looks great, go to reboot from drives, and all I get is "grub" but no boot. I have tried this ten times, doesn't seem I can get around it. I have to configure this server so that the drives are mirrored. I have installed redhat 9 in this configuration without problems. What am I doing wrong? Chris Mason www.anguillaguide.com

Firefox question
by Collins Richey 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Just curious. I've noticed with the 1.0.3 release (and almost every recent dot release) Firefox becomes unstable until you preserve your bookmarks and blow away the .mozilla/firefox directory. Has anyone heard whether the mozilla developers ever intend to fix this behavior? -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....
