[CentOS] First official release candidate of the com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD is available (RC3)

2008-03-20 Thread Marc Grimme
Hello,
we are very happy to announce the availability of the first official release 
candidate of the com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD (RC3). 

The com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD allows the 
installation of a single node open shared root cluster with the use of 
anaconda, the well known installation software provided by Red Hat. After the 
installation, the open shared root cluster can be easily scaled up to more 
than hundred cluster nodes.

You can now download the open shared root installation DVD from 
www.open-sharedroot.org.

We are very interested in feetback. Please either file a bug or feature or 
post to the mailinglist (see www.open-sharedroot.org).

More details can be found here: 
http://www.open-sharedroot.org/news-archive/availability-of-first-beta-of-the-com-oonics-version-of-anaconda.

Note: The download isos are based on Centos5.1!

Have fun testing it and let us know the outcome.

DESCRIPTION
   vgimport allows you to make a  Volume  Group  that  was
   previously exported using vgexport(8) known to the system again,
   perhaps after moving its Physical Volumes from a different
   machine.

Essentially, IIUC, vgexport updates the LVM configuration to remove the
group from the system. I *guess* it might also put some status
information into the descriptors on the volume being removed so that
critical information is available when a vgimport is done.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that moving the volume without
doing this makes for extra work when re-installing, though I can say
that it can be done. Again, from first-hand experience.

One of the *few* advantages to not using LVM. Overall, I'd rather use it
in most cases.

Yes, for now I am just editing fstab and grub.conf by hand, but it might
be possible to automate it somehow in a script, using e2label to find the
correct device names.

Do you want this NIC to be on or off ...

If you want it off, set ONBOOT=no

If you want it on, you will either need to turn on DHCP or assign a

Hello all,

   I've been trying to get spamassassin and clamav working, but got
really confused when I realized there are various incarnations of the

learned there is also an SA-milter.  Can someone tell me which of the
various spam fighting packages i.e., sa, sa-milter, clamav,
clamave-milter, and so forth?




Welcome to the club.  Setting up anti-spam and anti-virus software can be a
very tedious process.  I tried various approaches over a period of months
before hitting upon our current solution. We now use MailScanner to integrate
spamassassin and clamav into our sendmail MTA.  This seems to be the least
burdensome from a maintenance point of view and still provides a useful degree
of configurability .
  


postfix + amavisd-new is not hard to setup:

   http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
   http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.postfix.html

note that both amavisd-new and mailscanner rely on spamassassin for spam 
filtering (so spamassassin must be installed).



The MailScanner people can also point you to a reasonable fee for service
organization to assist you in setting things up..

Yes, this is bytes on ethernet level, not aware of higher levels (like

Also, these counters are wrapping counters (32-bit on i386 (wraps every now

Generally, there is no printer-specific support in CentOS/RHEL. Usually
the print facilities are provided by a package such as CUPS or the
traditional LP package. These packages can be searched on the web
(google) and their home sites browsed for the information you seek.

He should rather search for foomatic, because that is the package the
printer definitions (drivers, if you want to say so) live in.

I've been using Evolution with our Exchange servers and instead of
using MAPI, I enabled Outlook OWA (http) and connect that way.  You

Yup,
I was hoping to use Dags for a FC8 machine I set up a day ago, as I understand 
Dag's repo is the best for RHEL/FC, but I had to use rpm.livna.org which as 
Dags's points out, isn't a friendly mirror IIRC.

 Go to:

pick out and buy the camera that matches your needs.  We've been using one of
these cameras for a number of years and they work great.  We can set up the
camera to automatically send image files to a server on a preset schedule and
rate.  With some home grown scripts, we convert the images to movie files for
viewing.
 We first tried a D-LINK camera before the AXIS, but it just doesn't work
well at all and often goes out to lunch for no apparent reason.
 Hope this helps some.

No prob. As recommended, I will stick with Zoneminder.
I am just primarily concerned with the reliability and uptime of the

absolutely but you will have to plan it out because capturing data takes

[CentOS] build custom kernel

2008-03-20 Thread David Hláčik
Hi guys!
i followed tutorial for building custom kernel for centos5
http://howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos with lastest kernel
downloaded from kernel.org .
in menuconfig i used /boot/config-(mycurrentcentoskernel) as a
configuration. then i compiled with make rpm.
Result was ok, but my kernel was about 400MB of size! :(
Next problem was that alltought i we had ip_nat as a module selected in
menuconfig, i did not had it, and i was not able to modprobe ip_nat , so my
iptables were not working.

I am looking for some help and experiences. Probably in thinks like :
howto make new kernel for centos to be the most compatible (using
/boot/config... probably).

The reason why i need this is :

- problem with pptpd on x64 centos 5.1 (causes freezing --- found that it is
a kernel bug .. still not fixed in rhel - centos :( )
- problem with ath_pci (atheros module) which causes masine freezing after
hours of use without any footprints in logs , tested that on fedora 8 this
works stable :(

Thanks in advance!

RE: [CentOS] build custom kernel

2008-03-20 Thread Ross S. W. Walker
You'll get the huge kernel if you accidentally mark all the modules to be 
compiled in instead of modularized.
 
Make sure the modules are marked 'M'.
 
Why not just take the latest Fedora 8 kernel SRPM and with rpmbuild build it on 
CentOS?
 
A lot easier and more reliable then adapting a vanilla kernel.

menuconfig, i did not had it, and i was not able to modprobe ip_nat , so my 
iptables were not working.
 
I am looking for some help and experiences. Probably in thinks like :
howto make new kernel for centos to be the most compatible (using 
/boot/config... probably).
 
The reason why i need this is :
 
- problem with pptpd on x64 centos 5.1 (causes freezing --- found that 
it is a kernel bug .. still not fixed in rhel - centos :( )
- problem with ath_pci (atheros module) which causes masine freezing 
after hours of use without any footprints in logs , tested that on fedora 8 
this works stable :(
 
Thanks in advance!

[CentOS] Un Installing a hard drive in a Centos 5.1 box

run
# mount
this will show the mounted partitions. find the partitions that are on
the second drive and unmount them:
# umount /path/to/partition
if a service uses them, you'll see an error. you will need to fix the
errors until you can unmount them.
then comment out these partitions in /etc/fstab.

OK when you say livecd, do you mean the Centos 5.1 distro
disks? I have a full set of them, a 7 disk set I got from Linux Central.
Can I just boot off disk 1 from my set?

...or, if I left the install the way it is now, are there any dis advantages of 
leaving the file
system the way it is - spread over two hard drives?
Should just get another hard drive and back it up the way it is?
Would ther be any pro

[CentOS] Fwd: ath_pci in modprobe.conf on Centos/Fedora

Subject: ath_pci in modprobe.conf on Centos/Fedora
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hi friends,

i am loooking for help as i am unable to solve it by myself
Scenario is following : I have two atheros cards, one works as AP (for local
wifi network), second one as STA (connection to internet trought 13dB wifi
anthena)

My current scenario is that i am loading module with autocreate=none
i have in modprobe.conf : options ath_pci autocreate=no
and then in /etc/rc.local script i will create from wifi0 ap , from wifi1
station and configure other settings (ip adresses and so).

What i am trying to do, is to put all configuration to modprobe.conf using
install and remove directives
What i want as a result is to create during startup and loading module AP
from wifi0 (ath0) and STA from wifi1 (ath1)
i have tried to put to modprobe.conf :

install wifi   /sbin/modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none;
/usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap;
/usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode sta
remove wifi /sbin/modprobe -r ath_pci


next what i want to do is not to load ath_pci module automatically during
startup , but to load instead that wifi module , and here comes my problem,
how can i do it??

If i try

 
install ath_pci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ath_pci; /sbin/modprobe wifi
install wifi   /sbin/modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none;
/usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap;
/usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode sta
remove wifi /sbin/modprobe -r ath_pci


It does not work.

Thanks in advance!

LiveCD as in the livecd:

eg :
http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-LiveCD.iso

nope, just that if you loose one drive, you loose everything (
potentially ) on the entire filesystem

> Should just get another hard drive and back it up the way it is?
> Would ther be any problems with my backup if left the way it is?

Both those should be fine

I'd recommend you spend the time in learning about lvm and resize the
filesystem down to one drive, LVM does take about 2 - 3 hours to work
out, but once you do work it out - its fantastic and something that
makes Linux really worthwhile :D

but that is my personal opinion, you should still do whatever you feel
like - it is, after all, a free world :D

[CentOS] simple DNS question - reverse nslookup fails.

2008-03-20 Thread vincenzo romero
Hello all,

I am trying to configure a subdomain DNS server on a Cent OS 5.1 - for
my lab.  Brief configuration:

Lab machine ---> 192.168.17.2 (should respond to DNS queries from
hosts in 192.168.16.0/20 network)

1.  I would also like to forward any queries outside the above network
to our corporate domain (no firewalls between our 192.168.16.x network
and the corporate network.  The domain server is:  dns.company.com
with an IP of 10.100.1.2 (255.255.255.0).

2.  What I have configured is:

192.168.17.2 --> myhost.lab.company.com
10.100.1.2 -->  dns.company.com

3.  Installed the dns bind 9 in myhost and set basic configuration via
the system-config-bind GUI.  My configuration file specific to my
setup there is:

 cat lab.maxiscale.com.db
$TTL 1H
@   SOA myhost.lab.company.com.
root.myhost.lab.company.com. (   2
3H
1H
1W
1H )
NS  myhost.lab.company.com.
qaserver2 A   192.168.17.3
qaserver1 A   192.168.17.1
myhost A   192.168.17.2

=

The rest of the DNS/Bind records were based upon the auto-generated
files from the Bind GUI Config tool.

3.  I also changed myhost's resolv.conf to reflect the following:

search lab.mycompany.com
192.168.17.2
search mycompany.com
10.100.1.2

==

PROBLEM:

1.  When I am in myhost.com, I can perform:
a.  nslookup hostname (to any host within 192.168.x and 10.100.x networks)
b.  nslookup ip to anyhost wtihin both networks.

2.  When I am in one of the hosts within 192.168.x aside from
myhost.com (for example, qaserver1 or qaserver2):

a: SUCCESS to nslookup hostname to any host within BOTH networks.
b.  FAILS to nslookup ip (reverse nslookup) to anyhost within the
10.100.x network.

this is the error I get:

nslookup 10.100.1.2
Server: 192.168.17.2
Address:192.168.17.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
24.1.100.10.in-addr.arpaname = dns.company.com.

k.root-servers.net  has  address 2001:7fd::1
l.root-servers.net  internet address = 199.7.83.42

I must be missing something stupid and apparent  any help would be
greatly appreciated!!!

[CentOS] Printer drivers

Hello,

I see in the repo there are some printer drivers like foomatic and hpijs.
I'm just wondering if there are plans to also include hplip in the future?

hplip is included in CentOS-5 but not in CentOS-4.
