Apache HTTPD not picking up environment variables.
by Harold Pritchett 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

I'm trying to install DB2 on a CentOS 7 server. The problem I'm seeing is that the Apache httpd server fails to pick up the db2 environment variables. On an older version running under CentOS 5 this was done by inserting the following lines into the httpd start script in /etc/sysconfig/httpd: if test -f /db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile; then . /db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile fi Under CentOS 7's systemctl system this no longer works. I need a clue as to where to start looking for where to put this so it will be sourced when the Apache server starts. I have googled this and can find nothing relevant. I even did a "find / -name httpd -print" and didn't find anything looking promising. Thanks for your help Harold

External harddisk
by H 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

I have an old external harddisk, Toshiba 320 Gb, with a USB connector that I wanted to check for contents. It did not start up when connected and I could not hear the motor spinning. After leaving it in the freezer overnight the motor spins but it is not recognized by my computer. I disassembled it and could see that the head assembly rests outside the disk but when it is powered on, the head first moves to the center of the disk, then to the periphery and finally back to the resting position. This happens every few seconds and leaving it connected overnight changed nothing. I installed smartmontools but the disk is not even recognized by my system as a /dev/sd* device and therefore not accessible to smartd (at least as far as I know it.) Any suggestions for what I could try? I am running CentOS 7. Thank you.

UID/GID CentOS 6 to CentOS 7
by Thomas Plant 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Hi, we are upgrading some servers from C6 to C7 with a lot of user accounts on them (UID>=500). CentOS 7 has MIN_UID/MIN_GID 1000, Centos 6 has 500 in login.defs. Can I change in /etc/login.defs MIN_UID/MIN_GID to 500 for C7? So I could just grep the users out from passwd/shadow/group files and append them to the Centos7 passwd/shadow/group files. Can this do any damage to CentOS7 later on? Thinking about updates.... Thanks, Thomas

NFS Client to Server User Mapping / how to configure for user-IDs
by Ralf Prengel 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hallo, we ve a central Cent7 system working as NFS server. Everything works fine with simple configurations like one client is mapping a share and several clients are mapping a share to edit one or more files wotling as root The problem: fpr a projekt we ve 4 elk-nodes sharing one share on this server to use the same files. This doesn t work. My guess is that the reason is that elk is using an own user. What ist the best way to solve the problem. We have no central user-managemnt for linux-logins. Thanks Ralf

by R C 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hello, I am using 'Centos 7.8.2003 (Core)' and after an update, a week or two ago, all system sounds seemed to have stopped working. Sound in firefox still works, and also rhythmbox seems to play music files, VLC player do too. It seems that just things like notifications etc are not woring anymore. Also, the "test speakers" in the sound setup doesn't seem to produce any sound. any ideas? thanks, Ron

CentOS 8.2 / missing libc++ (libcxx-devel)
by Alexandru Lazarev 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Hi community, In CentOS 7 there is such rpm (libcxx-devel - it seems from EPEL repository), but in CentOS 8 it isn't. How is it possible to have it there as RPM? because alternative to build it (libc++) from sources is a big headache (I need it in order to build v9 and plv8 projects) Thanks <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Mail server troubles
by Nicolas Kovacs 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Hi, This is probably a bit OT, but here goes. I've been running our local school's mail server since 2013, with mail addresses for school staff and some teachers. The server is running CentOS 7 with Postfix and Dovecot, and it's a nice no-bullshit configuration with SPF, DKIM and DMARC. The school sends quite a lot of email out to parents, and sometimes, mail gets rejected: --8<-------------------------------------------------------- <xxxxxxxx(a)orange.fr>: host smtp-in.orange.fr[193.252.22.65] said: 550 5.2.0 Mail rejete. Mail rejected. ofr_506 [506] (in reply to end of DATA command) <yyyyyyyy(a)wanadoo.fr>: host smtp-in.orange.fr[193.252.22.65] said: 550 5.2.0 Mail rejete. Mail rejected. ofr_506 [506] (in reply to end of DATA command) --8<-------------------------------------------------------- This happens randomly with the usual suspects among crappy mail providers like Orange, Hotmail/Live, Yahoo and the rest. The school's not happy because in their eyes I'm faulty of badly maintaining their mail server. So my question to you: do any of you guys running mail servers have similar experiences? And how do you cope with it?
