I had similar problem with a Linux system (Fedora) which was using SElinux in 
enforcing
mode (like CentOS is doing by default) after I booted from
a CD not supporting SElinux and editing some configuration files
(like ifcfg-eth0) which has lost appropriate SElinux labels because of that.
This is most probably different from what you see (one kernel working OK, 
the other not); 
no-one was tinkering with /lib/modules from not-SElinux CD, right?

Do yourself a favor, as you'll probably have several more comparisons to
do.

When making the lists, sort the output, either piped to sort or make a
sorted version afterward, and use comm (man comm). You can see a nice
consolidated output, or select any combination of "only on file1", "only
on file2", ... both, etc. Makes detecting differences much faster.

[CentOS] CentOS5 installation crashes

[Andrew Henry]

Im installing CentOS5.1 on an Acer Aspire 5021 laptop with AMD Turion64
and ATI X700 128MB gfx card.

I want to partition my 80MB ATA disk as LVM, so I:

Choose custom partition.
delete all existing partitions.
add one LVM vg partition taking up entire disk.  I do not change any
default options.
I then click the LVM button to add my logical volumes as follows:

5GB /
8GB /home
5GB /tmp
4GB /var
1GB swap

all are ext3 partitions.

I exit the LVM dialogue and click Next to continue with the
partitioning, and...  it all crashes.  I get a debug error box with lots
of unintelligible errors that I am completely unfamiliar with.  I click
OK on the error dialogue and the installation freezes and I can only
power off with the button.  I will probably look for this on bug tracker
and log a bug report if I don't find a similar case, but I wanted to
mail the list first (because it's easier) and ask if anyone knows of the
issue and how to get around it?

thanks,
andrew

[CentOS] yum-proxy?

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

I've been using Debian for a few years, and there was one nifty little 
app that made installing and updating so much easier: apt-proxy.


Most of the time, I'm taking care of small LANs with an average of five 
client PCs. But this is a very remote place in South France, so most 
villages only have 512 kbps DSL. One major update for openoffice.org-*, 
and I have to wait the whole day for updating each machine (unless I scp 
-r /var/cache/yum from machine to machine, but that's another story).


I'm currently testing an "intermediate" solution: creating a local Yum 
repository. I have [base], which consists of all the 5.1 RPMS copied 
over from the DVD. Then [updates], which I'm currently rsyncing from a 
remote mirror. And I think I'll do something similar with [extra], which 
only leaves [rpmforge] (but I won't cache that :oD). Not a very 
satisfying solution, since for example I'm currently installing XFCE as 
only desktop environment, and I have nevertheless to download every 
GNOME- and KDE-related update.


A message to the developers: yum-proxy would be a much-needed addition 
to Yum, in my humble opinion. I don't have the technical skills to 
develop such a thing, but maybe one of you has (Daniel, do you read 
this? :oD)


I'm curious about your comments on this.

Cheers,

Niki

It says it is not using "user level" security ... you probably have

The only thing that is going to work is to look at your smb.config

[CentOS] domain name display issue in linux pc

[padmaja . rv]

Hi,


Thanks for your response on the kernel switching.I was away and could not reply 
immediately.


Right now, I am facing a differentissue. I have to set up DNS server using BIND 
on Centos 4.3. When Itype the hostname on Centos, it shows:
sipserver.vodcalocal.com
But the cli prompt has [EMAIL PROTECTED] meaning only the sipserver part of the 
hostname is displayed. whyis this so? What is the actual hostname then? I see 
in the
/etc/sysconfig/network that thehostname is sipserver.vodcalocal.com
the /etc/hosts file has the followingcontent:


# Do not remove the following line, orvarious programs
# that require network functionalitywill fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost sipserver
192.168.50.51 sipserver.vodcalocal.com


The /etc/sysconfig/network has thefollowing config:


NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=sipserver.vodcalocal.com


I have seen in many forums that the/etc/sysconfig/network file has many other 
entries like domain name,gateway type, gateway ip etc, which are not present in 
myconfiguration.


when i type $ domainname,
i get--
(none)


$ domainname -d
vodcalocal.com


$ domainname -f
sipserver.vodcalocal.com


Why does not the command domainnamelist the domain name? also domainname -f and 
domainname -d displaydifferent results. can the machine have the domainname and 
hostnamesame if I am going to run dns server on it?


I run a SIP server on this PC whichneeds the domainname set but whenever I type 
echo $DOMAIN_NAME, itshows blank and I have to export the path variable DOMAIN 
NAME andset it. On another screen, I again dont see the domain name set. Howto 
set the domain name across all terminals and sessions andrestarts?an

I would suggest that you try the install by shrinking the / partition in 
the LVM tab and install with only / and swap ... thent you can later add 
/home and /tmp (and var too, though harder, if you want) after the 
install and see if that has any effect.


This smells like something in LVM and disk formating is not happy to me, 
but we need more info about the segfault to be sure.


Also, you can shift to Alt-F2, Alt-F3, Alt-F4, Alt-F5 and see what might 
be happening exactly so we can try and troubleshoot.

[CentOS] ccache on CentOS?

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

Before using CentOS, I've spent a few years with Slackware. This 
distribution doesn't come with many packages, so I had the habit of 
building a lot of stuff myself. One of the first things I installed was 
ccache, a compiler cache that accelerates (re)building significantly.


Has anyone ever setup ccache on CentOS? I'd be glad to find a little HOWTO.

Cheers,

Niki

What shows in your shell prompt does not necessarily indicate a
networking problem. Is there a networking problem? Personally, I like
having the short hostname in my prompt.

domainname command is for NIS/YP, you want dnsdomainname.

I don't see any problems with your configuration files. Whether to use
or not use the FDQN in those files is not well defined. If hostname -s
and hostname -f return the short and FDQN names respectively, then you
should be good to go.

Well, I already had the RPMForge package. But I tend to forget that

all the symlinks in /usr/lib/ccache/bin are properly set, and the PATH

[CentOS] versions of the mail command

[Nigel Kendrick]

Hi Folks,

I am running postfix on a CentOS 4 box and was playing around with mail
autoresponders. I came across a wiki article that did the trick, except for
the following line which is what sends the auto response:

mail -s"Subject here" -a"From: <$2>"  $1 < /etc/postfix/autoreply.txt

The (minor) issue is that the mail command doesn't have the '-a' switch to
change the sender so I just removed that part. It's not a biggie but is
there an updated version of the mail command or an alternative I could use
that would pick up the sender's name variable and use it?

Thanks

okThis is the thing security level was set to "share".  When 
thigs worked fine, there were a lot of shared folders that could be 
access by anyone in the network, but when it comes to acces the remote 
home folder, from windows client, samba checked the user/password used 
to loged in to windows and use it.  Now whit security level set to 
"share", I can access the public folders, but when it comes to the 
"home" folders, smaba promt me to enter a password as an invited user.  
If I change security level to "user", samba promt user to enter user and 
password, that's good, but even if I enter a good login nothing 
happend, it doesn't validate it... and then, I can't access home and 
public folders.

But won't the systems then just boot from the install DVD?  Or are you

Hi List,

Is there a way to limit the number of cgi processes Apache's suExec

suExec doesn't honor the /etc/security/limits.conf nproc value.  
mod_throttle seems to be dead; and I can't figure out if selinux might  
be able to manage this (although would rather not flip selinux from

One should avoid setting security to share, it is there primarily for
historical reasons, but security should start with "user" then if
you have Windows domain servers set it to "domain" or "ads".

You will need to create LM passwords for each user unless you have
a Windows domain server to check passwords against.

I think there is an option in the man page about auto-creating
samba users on first connect if they exist in passwd, which will
ask the user for his/her password the first time and if it is
correct will save it in the samba passwd file.

Well there is probably additional configuration that is needed when
moving from "share" to "user".

These options really should be per-share. You are making all data

I looked at your original email again, and if I read your previous
kernel right it's over a year since you last updated the kernel?
(2.6.18-8 was released 1/07 by RH, though I can't find 8.1.8)

I was browsing through the change log and saw several e100 related
changes, which could be related to the network end of your problems.
Without more detailed information as to error messages and stuff
for the failures the best thing I can suggest at this point is
to try a few kernels in between the one you were on and the latest
and see if any of them break, likely they will as the latest kernel
only has 1 change in it. Maybe you can narrow it down to a
particular kernel rev that came out.

RE: [CentOS] Booting without a keyboard

[Dennis McLeod]

Or, on power failures
I got home last night, and the Dell I mentioned was off.
Turned out that the power was out for a few hours yesterday.
I jumped in the bios on startup and changed the "halt on errors" to "except
Keyboard"
AND changed the AC power failure to "Last" so it will power up when the
power comes back on.
No UPS on this machine.
It's only been in place for 4 days.
It's a friends machine hosting a few websites on my FTTH connection.

Anne


If I understand what you are asking - yes.
By lock session, you mean "Lock Screen" ??

If you just lock the session - your user is still the console use and 
has permission to write to certain device nodes. When you log out, your 
user gives up those permissions.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -l /dev/ |grep mpeters |wc -l
29
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

That's 29 device nodes that I have permission on because I am the 
console user. When I log out, they revert to default (typically root) 
ownership.


For example - lock your screen and ssh in from elsewhere - then run the 
eject command. The CD tray should shoot out (unless you have a slot 
loader ...)


Log out at the console and try it - it will fail:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ssh jerusalem
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ eject
eject: unable to open `/dev/hdc'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$



There also are some userspace daemons that often start up when you are 
logged in (IE in gnome) that exit when you actually log out.

Do yourself a favor, as you'll probably have several more comparisons to
do.

When making the lists, sort the output, either piped to sort or make a
sorted version afterward, and use comm (man comm). You can see a nice
consolidated output, or select any combination of "only on file1", "only
on file2", ... both, etc. Makes detecting differences much faster.





If grub had a "one time" next boot like LILO, I'd have some more
thoughts, but <*sigh*>

I have been hoping for that option for years. I have used other options like 
using sed or cp, but they are still susceptible to failures.
All my new hardware has been HP's with the ILO feature, so I haven't had to 
worry about it for a while.

[CentOS] Re: CentOS5 installation crashes

[Scott Silva]

on 2/14/2008 3:21 AM Andrew Henry spake the following:

Im installing CentOS5.1 on an Acer Aspire 5021 laptop with AMD Turion64
and ATI X700 128MB gfx card.

I want to partition my 80MB ATA disk as LVM, so I:

Choose custom partition.
delete all existing partitions.
add one LVM vg partition taking up entire disk.  I do not change any
default options.
I then click the LVM button to add my logical volumes as follows:

5GB /
8GB /home
5GB /tmp
4GB /var
1GB swap

all are ext3 partitions.

I exit the LVM dialogue and click Next to continue with the
partitioning, and...  it all crashes.  I get a debug error box with lots
of unintelligible errors that I am completely unfamiliar with.  I click
OK on the error dialogue and the installation freezes and I can only
power off with the button.  I will probably look for this on bug tracker
and log a bug report if I don't find a similar case, but I wanted to
mail the list first (because it's easier) and ask if anyone knows of the
issue and how to get around it?

thanks,
andrew
I think you still need a small /boot partition unless grub will finally boot 
from LVM.

Thanks, Michael.  Yes, this is the sort of info that I was looking for.

Of course a remote user would need to get my ssh passphrase to do anything, 
then again, to use the root password for most things.  However, I guess that 
once again the biggest risk is physical access to the box, since running a 
different session would still be possible.  That's only the same, though, as 
being logged out, I think.

Have I got the situation roughly right?

[CentOS] Backing up remote system

[Scott Ehrlich]

I have an Overland Arcvault tape library, a CentOS 5 box, a Windows XP 
system, and RAID box that supports NFS and CIFS.


The RAID box is remotely located and acts as central file storage.

I might normally use dump to perform backups, but as was learned here, and 
on dump's man page, dump doesn't support remote file systems such as NFS 
or CIFS.


So, for now, I've connected the library to a Windows XP system, running 
Service Pack 2.  I have a shell script that tar gz's the directories of 
choice to preserve, places them in /backup, and, via samba's config of 
making /backup available, have it mounted as a drive letter on the XP 
system.  I'm then using XP's built-in backup/restore program to store the 
contents of /backup to tape, and that is working fine for now.


Is there a reliable Linux/CentOS-based way to do this, too?   I know 
people keep saying use Amanda and/or bacula and be done with it, but in 
the event something goes wrong and the mysql, etc database gets corrupt, 
and people want their data back, it would be much easier to use a 
readily-available command, like cpio, tar, etc, to do the job.


I've also elected to tar gz the contents ahead of time, for if I were to 
try and directly archive some of the files via a CIFS mount, I've 
experienced permission problems with various files and folders.  A local 
tar of the files has gotten around that, then just have the Windows box 
copy the tar files to tape.


Now to see what options tar has for producing incremental backups with a 
cron'ed tar job, unless someone has a better, comparable approach with 
existing OS tools (tar, cpio, dump, etc).


I want to retain as many permissions as possible.   I've tried rsync 
before, but that also requires enough disk space for the file copying, and 
some of the options I've used have complains of proper permissions being 
kept during the process.


Thanks again.

Scott

Yeah, having the ability to do this would rock. The box in question is on a
remote power switch, however I don't have an IP KVM there (but would love
one!). The box does hosting for a number of community wireless sites in
Australia - none of which make any money to put towards buying equipment! I
looked at a single port IP KVM, but this was around $480AUD :(

As the box goes to a command prompt - even after failures - I was thinking
of putting a simple script at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local which will
launch in the background (/root/bin/bootinfo &)
 
--- Begin script -
#!/bin/bash
sleep 30

# Gather some system info:
echo "System booted at `date`." > /root/bootinfo
cat /proc/version >> /root/bootinfo
echo "-- Dmesg start --" >> /root/bootinfo
dmesg >> /root/bootinfo
echo "-- lsmod start --" >> /root/bootinfo
lsmod >> /root/bootinfo
echo "-- ifconfig start --" >> /root/bootinfo
ifconfig >> /root/bootinfo
echo "-- route info --" >> /root/bootinfo
route -n >> /root/bootinfo
echo "-- mii-tool start --" >> /root/bootinfo
mii-tool -v -i eth0 >> /root/bootinfo
echo "-- End troubleshooting --" >> /root/bootinfo

# Test if we have network connectivity.
ping -c 1 -n 
if [ $? -eq "0" ]; then
  # We can ping the gateway!
  exit 0
else
  # We have no network connectivity :(
  cp -f /etc/grub.conf-good /etc/grub.conf
  reboot
fi
--- End script -  

Does anyone have any additions or insight into this? Maybe something I'm
forgetting?

Obviously I'd have to make sure /etc/grub.conf-good is a working copy of the
config for grub

RE: [CentOS] Re: Kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 fails on network.

[Steven Haigh]

I have found the issue with this - and now I feel quite dumb.

In this box, I keep a second HDD (/dev/hdc) which is mirrored nightly from
the primary HDD (/dev/hda).

This is an exact copy - initially created via dd, then kept up to date via
rsync on a nightly basis. This is so that if the primary HDD fails, I can
change the system to use /dev/hdc and be up and running  after a
reboot/forced power cycle.

What was happening is that both /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdc3 have the LABEL=/ -
which means it would be a random guess as to which one got mounted.

After changing the root=LABEL=/ in grub.conf to root=/dev/hda3, all works
perfectly.

Man I miss the days when we used device names, not labels ;)

There's the problem, should be /root/post-install.log as this runs chrooted.

[CentOS] kickstart file problem

[Lundgren, Andrew]

I have a kickstart file that I am using to install multiple machines.  If I 
install with no %post script, everything runs great.  When I add the following

RE: [CentOS] Re: Kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 fails on network.

[Steven Haigh]

Just replying to myself for this - I realised that after a 'failed' boot, it
would also overwrite the boot logs when the system came back up with the
correct kernel/grub config ;)

I've made a few changes and added a bit more to the script - and I think its
about ready to use.

#!/bin/bash
sleep 30

  # We have no network connectivity :(
  echo "No Network!"
  mv /root/bootinfo /root/bootinfo.failed
  cp -f /etc/grub.conf-good /etc/grub.conf
  reboot

I have been hoping for that option for years. I have used other

Makes me want to go back and look at LILO some more and see what other
new features are in it now. But time prohibits that. <*sigh*>


Yeah, having the ability to do this would rock. The box in question is on a
remote power switch, however I don't have an IP KVM there (but would love
one!). The box does hosting for a number of community wireless sites in
Australia - none of which make any money to put towards buying equipment! I
looked at a single port IP KVM, but this was around $480AUD :(

As the box goes to a command prompt - even after failures - I was thinking
of putting a simple script at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local which will
launch in the background (/root/bin/bootinfo &)

--- End script -  


Does anyone have any additions or insight into this? Maybe something I'm
forgetting?

Obviously I'd have to make sure /etc/grub.conf-good is a working copy of the
config for grub

You can also send everything from the grub prompt on to a serial port. You can 
set up some kind of serial console with remote access and use serial 
crossovers. You can even make one out of old cast-off PC's.

No, the actual hostname is whatever is returned by the 'hostname' command.
It may or may not be the fqdn, and best practices are subject to debate.

Hello All,

I have a CentOS 4.4 running on a server with a 136GB hard drive, i have 
three different logical volumens and i would like to resize one of them 
( / ) with some idle space remaining in the hard drive. Can i do it with 
the server running or should i use the boot cd in order to do that?


I will appreciate any help and sorry if it´s a dumb question.

Regards,

Software RAID doesn't help when a different admin installs a package that they 
shouldn't and overwrites critical files (say the glibc libraries) and hoses the 
entire system. During the many years of using linux, the most downtime has been 
caused by humans - not hardware failures.

Having a nightly rsync between drives allows me to restore the system to a 
snapshot in a simple reboot. I can then restore to within 6 hours from our 
remote tape backup system. RAID only helps against hardware failure - not human 
failure.

RE: [CentOS] FW: Memory Problem

Ah. You're not running the PAE kernel.

Reboot the box, and bring up the grub menu. Choose the PAE kernel.

Then you'll see what you're supposed to and can uninstall the other
kernel(s)

Hi, Ivan.

You can extend it while running, but can't decrease the size while running.

To extend.

lvextend -L+1G /dev/yourvg/volume

[CentOS] Re: Kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 fails on network.

[Scott Silva]

on 2/14/2008 10:38 AM Steven Haigh spake the following:

I have found the issue with this - and now I feel quite dumb.

In this box, I keep a second HDD (/dev/hdc) which is mirrored nightly from
the primary HDD (/dev/hda).

This is an exact copy - initially created via dd, then kept up to date via
rsync on a nightly basis. This is so that if the primary HDD fails, I can
change the system to use /dev/hdc and be up and running  after a
reboot/forced power cycle.

What was happening is that both /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdc3 have the LABEL=/ -
which means it would be a random guess as to which one got mounted.

After changing the root=LABEL=/ in grub.conf to root=/dev/hda3, all works
perfectly.

Man I miss the days when we used device names, not labels ;)

--
Why not do a software raid with the drives? That way it is constantly up to 
date instead of a nightly rsync.

[CentOS] PAE Kernel doesn´t boot

[i.anfrage]

hi @all,

i´m having big problems implementing a pae-kernel.
i´m using centos5 on following hw

intel core2duo 2,66 e6750   
gigabyte p35-ds3p board
8 gb ram
4 * samsung_sata_hd501lj
nvidia geforce 8500gt

i can use a xen-pae kernel without having problems, but as i need to run 
vmware, it´s not a valid option to keep that kernel. 
the default kernel (which supports only up to 4gb ram) works fine, too. 
as soon as i boot a pae kernel the system stops booting at the point: 
"udev starting". 
i also can´t install the 64-bit version of centos5. 
i´ve tried the following kernels

2.6.18-53.1.4.el5PAE
2.6.18-53.el5PAE
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5PAE
2.6.18-53.1.13.el5PAE

2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen

any suggestions???

unhandled exception:

I tried with just / and swap and even tried with setting the pv to 300MB
less than the max size of the drive in case there was an issue with
detecting drive size correctly, but same issue.

Have not tried with setting a /boot partition yet. will try that tomorrow.

Are there any options in the server to map memory differently?

Yes, you are correct that RAID doesn't help with human failings.
However, LVM[1], backups, and change control management do ;)

if you want one, you need to create it. the package installs example

In all my other mysql installs there has always been an /etc/my.cnf 
after the installation but you are correct this can be created easily 
enough but I think this represents a bigger problem.



Nor are there any files in:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls /var/lib/mysql/
mysql  test
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls /var/lib/mysql/mysql/



looks ok. at some time, you'll need to do some post-install tasks to 
secure the server (mainly, set a password for the root user). see 
mysql site or google...


The same directories on another mysql installation. These files are 
there by "default".  It appears to me this installation is not including 
all the files it should

Thoughts?

No selinux is not enabled:

Hi, Ivan.

You can extend it while running, but can't decrease the size while running.

I presume you mean switching between a virtual console and an X session,
or between multiple X sessions. AFAIK, it can't be prevented because the
video output to the display changes and the monitor takes a brief time
to re-sync.

When I have run multiple X sessions, even when the resoultion is the
same, the black screen stills appears for a second or two.

True - but that doesn't explain why my.cnf is missing when the rpm 
installs it, or why mysql databases show up in locate but don't show up 
in ls. Upgrading MySQL would not have nuked them.

[CentOS] Apache2 crashes, MySQL uses upto 90% CPU

[Devraj Mukherjee]

Hi everyone,

I am running CentOS 4.6 and use the centosplus repo. Apache version
2.0.59 and MySQL 5.0.54 and for the past few days Apache 2 has been
crashing randomly. The CPU usage has been maxing out (The machine has
2 x Xeon processors, with 4Gb RAM) and there are many httpd processes
that appear to be defunct.

I read around and found that logrotate may be crashing Apache if it
doesn't quit in time. I have performance tuned MySQL to cache queries,
modified php.ini not to use too many persistent connections,
restricted the number of connections that Apache will answer to.

Top says:
8136 mysql 16   0  202  51:55.73  5.7  680m 225m 5352 S mysqld

Is there anyone else experiencing similar things? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time.
