the delay.
  


not half as bad as having every lookup try and go to the first server in

sounds like you should be running a caching name server, maybe even 
something thats aware of your ISP multiplexing scheme so it can

a local caching name server shouldn't add any significant delay, and 
will greatly speed up frequent lookups.

And shorter still:

   sed 's/.*\/\(\([0-9]\+\.\)\{3,\}[0-9]\+\).*/\1/'

which uses \{3,\} to specify the 3 occurrences of [0-9]\+\.

However, I would simply go for something like:

[CentOS] SSH, SCP connections to remote MySQL Database using OpenOffice Possible?

2008-03-10 Thread Therese Trudeau

I'm trying to find a way to get remote connections from my Linux Desktop 
machine to a remote Linux box which is hosting a MySQL database, via SSH port 
22, and then once connection is established, log in to the database port 3306 
and have either an SSH and or SCP connection established so I can securely do 
edits and queries.

I am able to connect this way from my Windows machine to remote server using 
Navicat. Both the windows desktop and the server are set up this way. I just 
can't figure out how to get my Linux desktop and the remote Linux box to talk 
this way.

I can connect to the remote database via Linux desktop, it's just via an un 
encrypted connection through port 3306. For obvious reasons I don't want to do 
it that way.

I tried connecting to the remote database in the same way I use Konqueror for 
FTP over SSH, i.e., by connecting via the fish protocol over port 22 -by 
enterning into OpenOffice Base for the server URL: fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:22 
and the error that comes up in either OO Base or Calc said I must specify a 
port number after the : , which I did, and it still won't connect that way.

My question is, is OpenOffice Calc able to connect to remote databases via SSH 
and or SCP? If so, do I need a plug in for that, or need to configure calc to 
do that in some way? How would I do this, or which plug in(s) do I need?

No, but what you could do is use an ssh tunnel to accomplish this.
Something along the lines of "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306
database.example.net"

This will tell your system to tunnel the local port 3307 through the
database box, TO the database box on port 3306. From this point, after
you connect via ssh with the above command, you can simply point your
database software to the local 3307 port in plain text, and it'll
travel over ssh to the remote box.

I've probably done a bad job explaining this, so I'll go get some more coffee.

You'll get 4 copies of the same data if you do RAID 1 accross 4 drives. Your
best bets for 4 drives will be RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10. Each has its
advantages and disadvantages, so you'll have to read up on them and make a
decision as to which is best for your use.

[CentOS] Newer MySQL in centos-plus?

2008-03-10 Thread J. Potter



Hi List,

I'm noticing that the CentOS-plus repo for 4.6 has MySQL 5.0.54 in it,  
but the CentOS 5.1 repo does not have a newer rpm, leaving the  
"newest" easily-available version as the vendor-provided mysql 5.0.22.


Is there a reason for this? We're wanting to try a newer MySQL under  
CentOS 5.1 -- do any of the standard repos include such an RPM?

Hehe THANKS Jim I need some too!

So when I "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306", am I doing this via terminal 
prior to connecting with Calc (or base),
then start up base and enter in just the regular database.example.net into the 
"Server URL" field in Clac or base?

Or do I need to enter "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306" just once in to 
the "Server URL" FIeld from within OpenOffice Calc or VBase?

You should enter localhost:3307. That connects to the local end of your SSH
tunnel.

You can turn on write back caching if you have a UPS as well
(provided your UPS is wired into your system for a graceful shutdown)

I've never noticed any data loss from write cache being enabled on
a 3ware card that didn't have a BBU. Not to say that BBU is a not
a good idea in any case. Of the ~400 3Ware cards I've used(90% of
them being 8006-2), only a handful have had a BBU. But all of them
were backed either by a basic UPS or a full UPS with generator
backup. I haven't run a computer without a UPS since 1996 ? It's
second nature these days I don't even remember to recommend them
anymore.

Of course I may of had data loss, but in the past 8 years it's not
been anything that I've personally noticed.

I'm not sure if all 3Ware models support BBU or not.

For anything real serious like I prefer bigger dedicated storage
systems, my array of choice these days comes from 3PAR (entry level
pricing ~$90k), really makes my job easy and stress free.

Depends on your needs, RAID 1 is certainly faster. RAID 1+0 faster
still, but requires more disk(s/space).

Going back to my preferred array vendor, 3PAR, their software/hardware
provides the ability to do online RAID conversions to/from RAID 0, 1+0,
and 5+0 (3+1 parity to 8+1 parity) with no impact to the server. It
also provides the ability to run multiple raid levels on the same
physical disks because the RAID is made up of portions of the disks
(each disk split into 256MB chunks), rather than the full physical disks
themselves. Really flexible/powerful/fast. I love it! On my array I
run RAID 1+0 on the outer regions of the disk(~7% faster than
the inner regions), and RAID 5+0 (8+1) on the inner regions of the
disks.

Of course this sort of technology isn't priced for the desktop unless
your doing something like desktop consolidation with virtualization or
remote application hosting/thin client.

As another poster noted you can use tee, which should do the job.

For my systems I have the server email me upon initial reboot

I just had to put my .02 in here:

The key requirement here is technology for the desktop.

Since this is going to be a single user box I really do not recommend
mucking around with hardware RAID at all.

You have 4 disks, create a software RAID mirror out of disk 1 and 2,
and a software mirror out of 3 and 4.

Make a VG out of the first mirror, call it "CentOS" and put the OS and
all your applications there, including "home".

Make a VG out of the second mirror, call it "Work" and put all your
work material there.

Then you can always upgrade the OS disks without touching your work
disks.

You can export your work disks VG, move the disks over to a new
machine and work there.

Create snapshots of your work disks, backup your work onto your
OS disks, etc.

A couple of 80 or 160GB disks for the CentOS VG, a couple of 320GB
disks for the Work VG and your good to go.

If you want any advise on setting up LVM and LVs for different
file systems I, and everyone on the list, would be happy to
give their opinions.

This is the easiest, most flexible and fastest way to get a
good performing redundant desktop setup.

system-config-authentication

does more than edit /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.com, it also
changes /etc/pam.d/system-auth and that is pretty necessary.

Suggest that you run the tool

Re: [CentOS] Recommendations for a "real RAID" 1 card on Centos box

2008-03-10 Thread Karanbir Singh

nate wrote

the whole point of a BBU is that you can turn on write back caching -
and get a fair win in write performance on regular tasks.


You can turn on write back caching if you have a UPS as well
(provided your UPS is wired into your system for a graceful shutdown)


UPS isnt going to help in cases where something breaks on the inner side 
( psu fail, mobo fail, ram blows up etc ).


But, I am with Ross on this one - if its just a desktop machine, it 
might be well worth doing a bit of RTFM, and setting up a md-raid/lvm 
volume and be done with it.

RE: [CentOS] SSH, SCP connections to remote MySQL Database using OpenOffice Possible?

2008-03-10 Thread Therese Trudeau

  I can connect to the remote database via Linux desktop, it's just via an

 want to do it that way.

OK this is what I tried - I opened up terminal on my local desktop machine, and 
I issued the command:  ssh -L 3307:domain.name.of.DesktopLocalMySQLserver:3306 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then I started up OpenOffice Calc, clicked on File>New>Database, and in the 
area where it asks for the "ServerURL", I entered in:  localhost:3307 and just 
below it where it asks for the port number I also entered in 3307 (the default 
is 3306).

 The error I got was "Illegal Connection Port Value 3307:3307: and I could not 
connect.

[CentOS] Re: Recommendations for a “real RAID" 1 card on Centos box

2008-03-10 Thread Scott Silva

on 3-9-2008 5:36 PM Therese Trudeau spake the following:

So these cards are just plug n play?  Just plug them in, no software or
drivers required,
all mirroring is managed by firmware built into the card RAID card itself?

Drivers are required for all storage adapters(RAID or not). 3Ware
handles raid in hardware, not in software, it has a bios which
you'd typically use to configure the array, you can boot off of
the array, etc.

3Ware also offers a management tool for linux (CLI and/or web
based) which allows for monitoring, and controlling the adapter's
configuration settings.

3Ware has had their linux drivers in the kernel for at least...
8 years now? maybe longer. So any linux distro should have no
trouble detecting the card. The latest 9650 cards are pretty
new and use a new driver, which may or may not be supported,
CentOS 5.1 should work with it fine though(support for CentOS 4
was added almost a year ago, I think with v4.5)

They also support hot swap, provided the interface to the disk
supports it(typically a hot swap backplane).


Great thanks for that info Nate, I just checked out their web site, looks like the 9500S-4LP would suit my needs 
for a desktop machine.


I've been leary about desktop RAID cards because a few years ago, I bought an 
adaptec 1210SA RAID card which supposedly does
RAID 1  I never could get the darn thing to work in my old windows machine and 
years later found out it is really a fake raid card.  It's been collecting dust 
ever since
may as well throw it out.  The drivers it required never worked with W2K.

But the Centos server I use has adaptec SCSI RAID controller in it, I guess on 
the high end for SCSI RAID, adaptec is known for good raid cards, but the one I 
bought sure did nothing for me
for my desktop.

_


Adaptec makes both true HW raid and re-sells fakeraid cards. I guess they 
wanted a piece of both pies. But 3ware only makes HW raid cards AFAIK.

Kickstart in RHEL5/CentOS 5 you can do this

%post

Not sure if older versions of RHEL/CentOS support that.

Nate,

I tried the above suggestion and it did not have the desired effect.
Everything gets logged to log file. I was hoping for a way to log to 
the file and also still see it on the screen also.


Is there a way to do that?

Jerry





It looks like this:
%post
(

works except for 1 item.
I do a yum udpate in the post section and NONE of the data
that gets printed during the yum update was logged.
Everything else was logged just fine.

Any idea there?

I think what you really want is 

ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 remote.db.server

The host in the middle is relative to the end machine. You could also
probably do 

ssh -L 3307:remote.db.server:3306 remote.db.server

(for that matter, I don't see why you couldn't do ssh -L 3306:... as long as
you don't have mysql running on your desktop)

That's normally set through .bashrc as contained in /etc/skel so it's inherited

How about a simple kernel panic! A simple kernel panic will hose your

 Hehe THANKS Jim I need some too!
 
 So when I "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306", am I doing this via 
 terminal prior to connecting with Calc (or base),
 then start up base and enter in just the regular database.example.net into 
 the "Server URL" field in Clac or base?
 
 Or do I need to enter "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306" just once in 
 to the "Server URL" FIeld from within OpenOffice Calc or VBase?

OK so you are saying to enter into Terminal, either: ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 
remote.db.server , OR enter into Terminal:  
ssh -L 3307:remote.db.server:3306 remote.db.server and substitute in my remote 
server address for "remote.db.server" 

Once I do that, what should I enter into the OpenOffice Calc Spreadsheet 
Application Dialog box, in order to get the OpenOffice Calc local 
applicationwhich resides on my desktop
machine to read the remote database?

At least on google, you can force to search for sites without specific words
 by prefixing a '-'.  So in your example enter the following in the search
bar:
jade sterling -surplus

At some point in the (relatively recent) past, the search bots apparently found
that text on your web pages.

As you have now removed it, the same bots will eventually crawl your site again
and update their index to reflect your current content.

I don't think there is a way to directly "demand" that your site be reindexed,
but if you wait a while (from a few days to a few months, I suppose) it will
eventually happen.

That is true, buy high quality stuff up front for fewer problems down
the road. Not a sure bet, but a better one. In the half dozen systems
I've been running at home for the past several years none of them
have suffered a hardware failure of any kind(fortunately). I've been
running PC Power and Cooling power supplies for about 9 years now,
really high quality PSUs(last one I bought was about 4 years ago, can't
speak for their quality now).

I've had 15 power supplies fail across about 600 systems in the past
8 years at my various jobs. Probably 150+ disk failures during that
same time on the same systems. And maybe 3 RAID card failures(all
of which were caught before the system was put into use).

In 2005 when I purchased about 200 Cyclades managed power stripes I
had at least 10 of those fail, which was scary. Their QA at the time
was pretty poor(I toured their facility in early 2006), they claimed
I was one of only two customers that were having problems with their
power strips(and I had less than 100 of those PDUs in use at the
time so ~10% failure rate). They've since been bought by Advocent
and they're probably well on their way to outsourcing their manufacturing
which they said would improve quality since it would force them to
make better specs for testing and stuff.

So BBU is certainly a nice thing to have but at least in my
experience isn't absolutely critical.

Of course for absolutely critical things I don't use server-based
RAID anyways. Multiple redundant controllers, multiple redundant
paths(to both the disks and to the hosts), is the way to go(assuming
your application(s) aren't built to be able to run on something
like a distributed file system). I've seen that some of the
latest HP servers have dual ported SAS disks, which sounds pretty
neat. I assume they still only have one controller though.

My main storage array has a built in battery as well, it's pretty
cool in that if the power goes out, it keeps the controller operational
long enough to dump the contents of the cache(8GB) to an internal
IDE disk, then powers off. Eliminates the need for having to maintain
the battery during an extended(several day) outage. And of course
the cache is mirrored between two controller nodes, and no writes
are committed to disk before the write is processed by both nodes.
If one node fails the cache is disabled on the remaining node until
the other node recovers.

It is also worth noting that there is apparently something wrong with the
structure of your web page.  If you click on the "cached" link for your page,
all you see is a single >.   Therefore, there is a good possibility that your
page can not be properly scanned by the bots due to your error and that's why
your listing has not been updated.

 No, but what you could do is use an ssh tunnel to accomplish this.
 Something along the lines of "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306
 database.example.net"
 
 This will tell your system to tunnel the local port 3307 through the
 database box, TO the database box on port 3306. From this point, after
 you connect via ssh with the above command, you can simply point your
 database software to the local 3307 port in plain text, and it'll
 travel over ssh to the remote box.
 
 I've probably done a bad job explaining this, so I'll go get some more

 ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 remote.db.server

I'm wondering if it's related to this problem - I was able yesterday to get 
OpenOffice 2.3 Calc to connect un securely just by using the default port 3306 
– just did that as a one time test.  

The problem I had when I did that though, was that when I open up a large table 
with 400 rows and maybe 25 columns in it (a table for products in an on line 
shopping cart), the scroll bars move through the table very slowly, and after a 
minute or two the table freezes up, as does OpenOffice, and I end up having to 
CtlAltDel and restart Open office.

 I can connect to the remote database via Linux desktop, it's just via an un

No, but what you could do is use an ssh tunnel to accomplish this.

OK Some progress anyway, by not putting in the port twice I got a connecrtion.  
But as before, 
when I connected un securely, OpenOffice freezes up and crashes after about one 
minute,
whether or not it's through port 3306, or through 3307 & SSH.

Sounds like an OOo problem, then. When I briefly tried testing it, there was
a couple of driver options to connect to MySQL, you might try using the one
you're not (IIRC one was ODBC and the other was JDBC).

How can I get the 192.168.1.8 out of this cmdline.


Try:

# IPADDR=`cat /proc/cmdline | sed 
's/.*\/\([1-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\)\/.*/\1/'`

This will find an IP in between /.../


Actually shorter sed line:

# IPADDR=`cat /proc/cmdline | sed 
's/.*\/\([0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\)\/.*/\1/'`


And shorter still:

  sed 's/.*\/\(\([0-9]\+\.\)\{3,\}[0-9]\+\).*/\1/'

which uses \{3,\} to specify the 3 occurrences of [0-9]\+\.

However, I would simply go for something like:

  sed 's,.*http://\(.*\)/ks/.*,\1,'


How about:

sed 's|.*\bks=\w\+://\([^/]\+\)/.*|\1|'

that would work with nfs, ftp or https as well and would not falsly match 
another URL in the cmdline. Plus it does not require the hostname to be an 
IP address.

[CentOS] 32bit support in 64bit environment (CentOS and Debian)

2008-03-10 Thread Daniel

Hi,

I was just searching the web for some information on 32bit support in 64bit environment and was able 
to find couple pages about Debian and CentOS. However, I couldn't find any comparison between them. 
If anyone knows the differences (e.g. which one is easier to set up and maintain) or could point me 
out to some useful sites, please help. Or if you think there's no difference, please explain.


Regards,

Daniel
