Rid me of this boot GUI
by John Hinton 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

One of these days, RedHat might actually run me off!!!! AAAARGH!!!! Can anyone tell me how to get CentOS 4 to simply boot to the console in text mode? If I wanted a stinkin' GUI I would have installed winders! Now, my KVM and 25 foot cord is just too long to send a GUI signal across the room and I'm missing 50% of the screen.. striped vertically.. at about 1/8th inch spacing. Not really good enough to see what I'm in nor what the crap I'm doing. I do see I guess an Xterm window.. so I guess I can issue commands.. or... maybe I'll have to drag over a derned monitor. Shew!! Thanks, John Hinton

QoS on CentOS 4
by ryan 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hello, I'm looking for a (relatively) simple way to help shape upload connections on my firewall box (CentOS 4 + iptables). Does anyone know of any packages, other than wondershaper, that do this? thanks!

Apache, MySQL, and PHP
by Dexter Stowers 20 Apr '05

Hi, I need to ask a question about the usuage of these particular packages...do you install the binaries for each or do you use what comes with the OS out of the box??? The reason why I am asking is because I am having problems using the one that comes with the OS. Everything else runs great but I am using CentOS for the first time and I want to make sure that I am not spinning my wheels doing something that I should leave alone. Thanks! -- Dexter Systems Administrator Clemson University

hddtemp package
by Collins Richey 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Just idle curiosity. I've always been fond of the simple hddtemp utility. I tried 'yum install hddtemp' (I have dag in my repos), but it was not found. Google found it on '/pub/dag/dries/packages...'. So I downloaded it, installed (Centos4), and it works just fine. Just wondering why it's not in the dag el4 repo? -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....

NTP on CentOS 3.4
by Jason Dixon 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Running CentOS 3.4, I enabled the ntpd service and noticed that it opens up a hole in the firewall for ntp from 127.127.1.0. I look in the ntpd initscript and see that it's reading in servers from /etc/ntp/step-tickers. However, that file is empty... /etc/ntp/ntpservers contains clock.redhat.com and clock2.redhat.com, but ntpservers isn't used *anywhere*. This looks like a bug, but maybe I'm overlooking something stupid. I reviewed the RHEL manuals, but they only reference the GUI utilities now (grrr). Any ideas a) where 127.127.1.0 is coming from (parsing bug?), or b) why the initscript doesn't reference /etc/ntp/ntpservers? Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

MailScanner With One vs Two Postfix Instances
by Kennedy Clark 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

An interesting point came up while recently discussing my Postfix virtual_alias issues with the MailScanner list. Apparently there is some risk with the "two instances of postfix" approach described in: http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/12/30/Guides It sounds like Postfix and MailScanner can step on each other in the deferred queue. They recommended the single Postfix instance "hold" mechanism recommended here: http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml Here are the steps I used to convert: 1) service MailScanner stop 2) Edit MailScanner.conf and change Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix.in/deferred to Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/hold 3) Rename /etc/postfix.in to /etc/postfix.old-in 4) Rename /var/spool/postfix.in to /var/spool/postifx.old-in 5) Edit /etc/postfix/master.cf and uncomment the "smtp inet n - n - - smtpd" that was commented out in Step #12 of the 2-step instructions 6) Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add: header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks 7) Create /etc/postfix/header_checks containing: /^Received:/ HOLD 8) service MailScanner start And you should be back in business. Note that the /etc/init.d/MailScanner script still references both an in and out Postfix instance; however, in looking at the code, once /etc/postfix.in is gone/renamed the "in" startup action becomes a no-op. I should also point out that there is absolutely NO implied criticism of the SUPERB guides Johnny has put out. I have found them to be extremely helpful -- thanks, Johnny! Regards, Kennedy

Problems installing Centos 3.4 & 4 using NFS + Kickstart
by Dr R L Oswald, Cranfield University UK 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

My hardware is Sun V65x servers, (6GB RAM/2xXeon3GHZ/36GB SCSI disk). I have NFS repositories of Centos 3.1, Centos 3.4, Centos 4 & RedHat 9.0 ISO distros set up. I use boot floppies for each o/s with the same kickstart file which is of course altered to point at the desired distro. With Centos 4 I have to use a boot CDROM, of course, rather than floppy disk. I wish to set up servers with either Centos 3.4 or 4 versions rather than RH9. Root disk partition is 24GB btw. The kickstart boot works fine with RH9 & Centos 3.1. However it fails with Centos 3.4 & Centos 4 but in different ways: Centos 3.4 ======== The kickstart proceeds normally, formats the partitions & starts the install. However at 52% of the way through, it aborts, always on the same file: "glibc-kernheaders-nnnn.rpm" The fatal error message is non-specific & suggests that media is defective or disk space inadequate. I have checked the md5 sums of the ISOs & they agree with the download site ones. I have also extracted the "glibc-kernheaders-nnnn.rpm" from the ISO image #1 & compared its' md5 sum with the same module from the /os/ directory on the download site & they also agree. I have also downloaded the ISOs again & they are the same md5s as the first set :-\ Centos4 ======= This install gets to the point at where it would normally try & mount up the CENTOS4 NFS repository which is on the same server as all the other distros (this runs RH9). It then goes into a loop whereby it keeps prompting for the name of the NFS server & the CENTOS directory, where it would normally just mount it & proceed with the installation. Anyone out there with similar experience & a working fix for this issue please ? Les Oswald
