Re: [CentOS] netboot, vnc and no keyboard/mouse/monitor

hey guys,

I just created a custom netboot cd, that launches and loads from a 
http source, but connects to a vnc listening viewer. All in all, not 
hard to do, but what is different with this one is that it skips the 
media check, has no prompts and allows you to start the install on a 
machine that has no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Was handy for me as when i 
have some boxes to load, I just plug in power and ethernet in the 
corner (or where ever I have room) and go through the install.


I know it also works with a cd as a source (if you use it from cd 1), 
and assume it would also work with a DVD (have not tested yet).


If you would like it, I can add to the wiki if anyone would like it.
You can do the same from a usb key/stick ... I even prefer that method 
so that i don't have to run mkisofs to recreate the netboot.iso image 
and burn it ...
I've also created a menu (thanks to syslinux.cfg) on the usb key to boot 
different install (centos 4 and 5 in i386 and x86_64 flavors) with 
several parameters included ... easier and faster to maintain than a 
netboot.iso file (my opinion) ...

But the best is always PXE booting anyway ... :D
There is already a pxe menu howto on the wiki, but i don't mind seeing a 
3 lines explanation about modifying the netboot.iso image ... that's 
just the isolinux.cfg to modify , mkisofs to create the iso and burn .. ;-)

[CentOS] mac address in prompt

for some reasons bash writes out my host's mac address as a result of

I'm quite partial to Dell cuz they've always worked quite well as far
as raid drivers and so are concerned. Also, their service guys seem
quite competent - at least where we live.

And of course the same goes for IBM. They have been supported Linux
for years and every server shipped by IBM has Linux support (well,
support for RHEL and SLES that is). I've never had any real issues
with their Linux support (all issues encountered they fixed :) ). They
go even as far that for servers Linux is on the same level as Windows,
meaning that Linux is supported at the release of new hardware (not a
couple of months later).

[lingu]

Hi ,

 Thanx for your reply  but my query is different already ip_conntrack_tftp
is loaded in my centos . TFTP is working fine now ,but i want to toghten
more security on iptables.Right now all of my udp port is opened, i dont
want to do that .see my previous mail below


I have a setup where the tftp server is inside the firewall.

Now the issue is tftp client send request on dynamic udp port. Can anyone
give some idea, how i can bind the fixed port for client udp requests ?
Otherwise i hope, it is not a solution that i will open all port related to
UDP in the firewall.

I think it worth to use CentOS on desktops too or, may be it would be

You got binary compatible packages for all purposes.

I make school-alike server with many features you are requested, but now 
it lacks of internationalization, all interface on russian.
It now has DHCP+DNS with dynamic updates, central LDAP authentication 
for Samba, Apache, Squid, Sendmail and Dovecot, virus filtering with 
ClamAV on Squid and Sendmail (through c-icap and milter), spam 
protection with black and greylisting, internet usage accounting and

[CentOS] new hardware & centos / fedora

[rmoktali]

hi,

Hardware: core2duo(E8400)/Intel Classic Board DG33FBC / 2x2GB

I have been trying to install 5.1x64 for it's longterm support and xen but it 
just does not install till acpi=off is passed. works with one core after that 
and does not power off. 

Install stops at ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (:00)

below is the reply from intel.
==
Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.  

Regarding your technical question, we regret to inform you that Linux* is not a 
supported Operating system for the Intel(R) Desktop Board DG33FB. Please review 
the following list for supported Operating systems for your Desktop Board.
http://intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-008326.htm 

Intel(R) Technical Support cannot provide assistance or drivers on operating 
systems that are not supported by the specific motherboard. 

Also, be aware that Intel(R) Desktop Boards do not support manually changing 
the IRQs, as the OS usually handles this. You can try disabling the onboard 
audio to check if you get rid of the POST error message. 
==

the dmesg from Centos5.1 install after acpi=off is here
http://www.pastebin.ca/1043584

Fedora 9 does not seem to have problem and installs fine. the dmesg is here
http://www.pastebin.ca/1043590 

Maybe  we need to wait for another year or two for upstream and centos to 
catchup. :)

Re: [CentOS] vsftp 553 Could not create file

Hi lingu,
| *vsftp 553 Could not create file***
I think this means you have a file with the same name already there, and 
you don't have permission to replace it.  I connected from Windows to my 
CentOS 5.1 server using the same vsftpd.conf settings, and here's the 
transcript:-


C:\Users\Ian>ftp 192.168.3.2

All worked well until the last send, when I had changed the file 
permissions for winscp.RND from rw-r--r-- to r--r--r--.  This was all 
with iptables and SELinux running at the time.


Hope that helps :)

You can m4 rebuild the sendmail.cf from the sendmail section in webmin? I 
wouldn't be to sure about that. I haven't ever noticed that might be 
possible (I use webmin only to manage the various sendmail databases, not 
the configuration). Do you have sendmail-devel installed?
Removing the localhost from daemon options won't change anything. It was 
working before, just with a timeout (which means the settings from this

really was done) that you may have never used before you might have 
introduced more problems.
If your sendmail.cf did not change a tiny bit from before the working 
state then the problem is *not* in sendmail.cf, but somewhere else. And 
Stephen's hints to DNS and the connection to rebooting make sense to me. 
Anyway, it cannot be sendmail.cf unless you changed it and didn't restart 
it after the change. (If you made all changes with webmin then it got 
restarted each time.)

Hi,

I mentioned firewall and SELinux to positively exclude them.  For me, 
with both running, I was getting the same error when I was trying to

You should be able to tell by the timestamps, but you can easily tell if 
sendmail is listening by trying to telnet to port 25 from another 
machine.  If it accepts connections, you should be able to diagnose 
other problems from the /var/log/maillog entries.  If it doesn't, check 
the daemon options and any firewalling you might have.

I have a similar board, try passing "pci=nommconf" instead of "acpi=off". That

Re: [CentOS] Confirming grub installation

[Peter Farrell]

When installing CentOS - sometimes the RAID-1 /boot partition, usually
/dev/md0 fails to boot.

The bug is known and exists on the bugtracker for CentOS as well as RedHat.

The fix is to re-install GRUB on on each partition of the RAID-1 array.

I think you could use the same method to answer your question.

1. boot server w/ any 'Disk-1' of an installation set
at boot prompt type 'linux rescue'
Continue boot.

2. First double check your disks with the mdadm utility
# mdadm -QD /dev/md0
Make a note of every disk (you can ignore the spare)
example: /dev/{sda1, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, sde1}

3. drop into the GRUB prompt
# grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)



grub> device (hd0) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)

Rinse - Repeat, etc.

4. exit from GRUB and reboot.


If you then want to test it, disconnect one of your drives - or just
drop into grub  at boot
and tell it to boot from the partition of another drive.

-Peter

Yes, you can enable diskless booting on a stock Centos if you work at 
it, but if you install the k12ltsp distro it will come up working out of 
the box and with 2 NICs it will be configured to run one interface 
connected to your normal internet-facing LAN and boot clients connected 
to the other using a private address range - and it will NAT for other 
machines on the private side.  It also comes with squidguard and the 
other things you are likely to need for a classroom/lab setup - and a 
mail list with a lot of people with experience in that environment. 
Just be sure to get the 5EL version which is Centos based - the others 
are currently outdated.

You might want to add the correct hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network, so
that the change will survive reboots ...

I already know how to install grub on the second drive.  The issue is
that this is a production server and I'm trying to avoid rebooting it if
possible.

I'm looking for a way to determine whether grub is installed on a drive
WITHOUT having to actually attempt to boot from it.  If I redo the
installation, then I can be sure it's installed, but if it's already
there, I'd rather leave it alone.  There's no point in messing with it
if it's already installed.

I was aware about the latter, not the former. You are right, it even replaces 
the sendmail.mc if I rename it. Good to know if it ever gets replaced by an 
update (I use my own mc file).

The point is that his sendmail.cf from his backup (=before the reboot) and 
after the reboot are the same. So, this scenario doesn't apply.

The rebuild creates a backup at sendmail.cf.bak, btw.

He already knows that sendmail accepts connections. Maillog is of no help 
(maybe with a higher log level, I know that you can get even more info with 
14). He has to identify the cause of the timeout and the first step is to 
identify the phase where it happens.

You could dd the MBR to a file and then examine both. You could diff them, 
I think they should be identical, should they?

[CentOS] Help!

[Sam Drinkard]

   Folks, I have a bit of a problem and can't seem to figure out what 
is getting broken or why.  I've been pulling my hair out trying to get 
clamav or clamav-milter to install and permit yum update to continue.  
What is happening is this:  I yum install the clamav package, but when I 
try to do an update on the system, it constantly returns with an error 
of a Missing Dependency for clamd and clamav-db.  I've installed and 
erased clamav several times, and that's the only way I can do a yum 
update on the system.  The files are coming from sourceforge, and the 
version is 0.93-2.el4rf.  Perhaps I'm not installing in the correct 
sequence or something, so could someone please tell me how to go about 
getting all the dependencies for the clamav package?  This is the x86_64 
version I've been working with.


Many thanks

first off...  .el4rf sounds more like files coming from dag than
sourceforge.

do you have dag repository installed? if not, you should since it
maintains current clam* packages for CentOS-4

secondly, you probably should show us the exact error rather than
paraphrase and have us guess at what the error is. But I suspect that if
you solve the first, you solve it all.

[CentOS] mod_security

[Tony Schreiner]

I've set up a CentOS 5 system as a server for http installs.

Currently up-to-date with
httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3
mod_security-2.1.7-1.el5

my installs were failing just after the root password set up, before  
software selection.


I tracked it down to a server error 500 and it was due to  
mod_security claiming the comps.xml file was too big


The error:
[Tue Jun 10 09:59:01 2008] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]  
ModSecurity: Output filter: Content-Length (934390) over the limit  
(524288). [hostname "XXX.XXX"] [uri "/install/centos/5/x86_64/ 
repodata/comps.xml"] [unique_id "VJNb-4inMQIAACd0XcwA"]



This is set in  /etc/httpd/mod_security.d/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
SecResponseBodyLimit 524288


I increased that size and all is now well, but can somebody enlighten  
me as to the purpose of that setting?


I've started reading the document in
/usr/share/doc/mod_security-2.1.7/doc/modsecurity2-apache-reference.pdf
is there other good documentation for mod_security?

Ok.. I guess I should have been a bit more exact in my phrases.. No, I 
don't have Dag's repo enabled, as most of the time it would fail when I 
tried to use it.  I guess the URL has probably changed as well.  As for 
the source, yes, that should have been rpmforge instead of sourceforge.  
If you have the current Dag repo URL, I'd appreciate it if you'd include 
it in a reply, or just send it to me off list.

now that I've looked your errors over, there appears to be a clash over
clamav/clamav-db/clamd between rpmforge and Karanbirs repositories.

Perhaps just remove them and re-install them...

yum remove clamd clamav clamav-db clamav-milter
and then reinstall...
yum install clamd clamav clamav-db clamav-milter

You may want to 'disable' rpmforge if you're going to use kbs packages
or tell rpmforge to ignore-pkgs=clam*

The clam packages in kbs are more than stone old. rpmforge is the
repository where you should install clam* from, so I suggest to do it
the other way round ...

[CentOS] raid1 disk format?

[Les Mikesell]

If you have a disk with several partitions set up as members of a raid1 
md devices, can you make a dd image of that disk to replace its matching 
drive with identical partitions or are there differences between the 
mirrored partitions?

Ok.. I sort of figured that was the problem, but I just removed 
everything clamav related and reinstalled only clamav-milter.  When I 
tried a normal "yum update" it fails again just as before.  As far as I 
can tell, the files are coming from rpmforge and not dag.  I don't have 
his in the repos.  Looking at the index list on Dag's website, it shows 
the latest clamav as version 0.92 and not 0.93 which is coming from 
rpmforge.  How do I make sure all the stuff comes from rpmforge and not 
somewhere else?


Yes, I remember the discussion from earlier this year, and I got a good 
install on my other server, but this 64-bit machine is not doing like 
the 32-bit server.  I know it's frustrating to have the same questions 
asked over and over, but this situation appears to be something besides 
mixed repositories, or at least from what I see on the screen says it 
all came from rpmforge.

you can 'dd' the MBR and then re-add the partitions to the raid for
resyncing with 'mdadm'.

# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
# mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1
# mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2

If you want to really make sure you got everything you could dd the

Add "ignore-pkgs=clam*" to the kbs repo definitions.
Do you actually have things installed from kbs-extras?
KBS and rpmforge don't play too well together since they have some duplication 
by package name but not versions.

Re: [CentOS] sendmail not sending after reboot

[Ray Leventhal]

He already knows that sendmail accepts connections. Maillog is of no help 
(maybe with a higher log level, I know that you can get even more info with 
14). He has to identify the cause of the timeout and the first step is to 
identify the phase where it happens.




Kai

Hi folks,

Name resolution is, absolutely, the issue.  I'll post the resolution 
once I've figured it out, but something on the LAN must have changed to 
coincide with this behavioral change in sendmail.

This will work across drives that have slight geometry differences.


What I was hoping to do was to take the grub setup, the partitioning

when booted.  They didn't - but I think the other parts worked.


Now, is there a way to change the uuid on a running raid1 set?  I'd 
prefer that if the split and re-paired disks ever find their way back to 
the same machine that they not sync again.

[CentOS] Newer GNOME than base release

[MHR]

I have asked about this before, but I don't have a workable answer yet.

I would like to know if there is a way to install a more recent GNOME
package on CentOS 5.x than 2.16.0.

1) GNOME Bugzilla does not support this version any more - all bugs go
into the bit bucket.

2) Having been exposed to Fedora 8 at work and seeing how much more
flexible GNOME 2.22 is, I would REALLY like to take a shot at using it
on my CentOS systems.

3) I asked about this on the GNOME list and I was told I should build
it, and that jhbuild or garnome would do the job for me.  This has not
been my experience - both of them have major hangups building on my
home desktop (the 64-bit hybrid CentOS 5.1 environment).

4) Johnny suggested I try mock to build in a chroot, pure 64-bit
environment.  I was unable to locate a mock that actually installed
and worked on my system.  (Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm the only person for
whom this does not work.  Heard it, can't believe it, must be doing
something most others don't, whatever  ;*)

I have trouble believing that the ONLY ways to get a newer GNOME are
to wait for CentOS 6, run a different distro (not likely) or build it
myself.  This is Linux, after all, isn't it?  (That's a rhetorical

'mdadm' writes a listing of the devices in the array to the md
superblock and orders them by number,major,minor. You cannot add
another device to the array with the same tuple.

If you dd the first sector of the drive though you will duplicate
the partition table and grub boot loader to the other drive. Then
md-device-mapper will take care of copying the data over.

[CentOS] [Off Topic, kind of] eMachine model T5254

[Bob Taylor]

Hi list,

Best Buy currently has an eMachine on sale for less than $300.00
without monitor. I didn't see any recent complaints on
www.consumeraffairs.com. I didn't take the time to do a thourgh search
so may have missed some. Red Hat hardware list does not have one
eMachine listed. I went to eMachine's home page and found the following:

AMD Athlon™ BE-2350 dual-core processor
NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100
2048MB DDR2 dual-channel
320GB 7200rpm SATA II
16x DVD±R/RW SuperMulti drive
High-performance 15-in-1 digital media card reader
6-channel (5.1) high-definition audio

They do not list the manufacturer/model of the media card reader and
audio.

Any hardware guru see any problems?

What would you expect? CentOS is based off of RHEL, which tries to
stick to older more stable/tested software. Your using the wrong
distribution if you want the latest and greatest.

Use Ubuntu, Fedora, or something else.

As a casual user I'm happy with the gnome that comes with my Debian
Etch install which seems to be somewhere around 2.14-2.16, and whatever
version comes with Ubuntu 7.10(haven't turned that laptop on in a couple
of months).

Really, what did you expect? Do you expect folks out there to constantly
build the latest & greatest for a "stable" distribution that consists
primarily of users that don't want the latest & greatest (which is why
they use that distribution in the first place).

I am not sure you can have your cake and eat it too on a single machine.
At the very least, building a newer Gnome for CentOS 5 sounds like a big
timesink. There are probably all kinds of library issues.

If you'd like the latest desktop apps, then perhaps it would be easier
to choose Fedora or Ubuntu for your desktop, and connect to your more
stable CentOS 5 servers remotely. Or, run Fedora or Ubuntu in a VM.

HW guru I am not. Linux guru I am not. I have a suggestion for you,
which I believe is a valid one: Take a Knoppix Live CD (that you've
previously tested on another box and know  is working properly) or a
CentOS Live CD, with you to the store. Boot the box with it and see if
the HW works with Linux, before you buy. Preferably, do this on *the*
box you are going to buy, in case the HW in the floor sample and the
one you are going to buy are not identical. Sounds very cheap and I'd
like to have one too.  Does Best Buy let one bring something back, for
a refund, within a certain number of days, if they are not satisfied
with the product?

Actually, the question grew out of a much more basic one, which I
asked on the GNOME list and was told, why don't you build it yourself?
 (I now have many answers for that one!)

What I was originally looking for was the location of the gnome config
file where I could manipulate the default colors in my windows (I
really don't like gray).  I poked and googled around some, but there
are SO many gnome files I was unable to locate the one that contains
this config

Thanks.

[CentOS] Kernel Panic

[Ryan Nichols]

I am very very new to the linux world..  I am having problems with 
CentOS5.1 with kernel panics.  I belive the cause of the kernel panics 
are a software that I am running on the machine, but I cannot find any 
information as to what the system was doing prior to the crash, i have 
looked in the /var/log/messaging to no solution.  I guess what I am 
asking is what do i need to turn on for when this kernel crash comes 
again? It happens with in hours or days of running this software, it is 
random and sudden.

Easiest I have found is configure the system to use serial console and
connect a system to the console. When the system panics it will output
the panic to the console which you can then copy/paste to a file and
post to a mailing list or support forum for help.

I'm not a hardware guru, but the CPU and chipset work just fine with

only a few bucks more, I'd go with that.

If you do not need CentOS for the reasons that most here use it then why 
don't you use Fedora if that gives you what you want? No one will be angry

do. As was previously suggested, probably best to go with Priorities.

[CentOS] Apache jserv monitoring?

[Sean Carolan]

In our environment we have many legacy application servers running
apache/jserv.  There is a web server front end, then a couple of
load-balanced java servers on the backside.  One of the problems we
are faced with is hung or stuck jvms.  I have looked at the java
process with the ps command, and there are many times when URL(s) do
not respond, yet the java looks healthy, at least from the OS point of
view.  The usual cure for this situation is to restart the JVM, then
the URLs come right back up.

Are any of you aware of tools for monitoring apache jserv, either from
localhost or by connecting to port 8008 over the network?  I really
want to find out if there is a way to detect a "sick" JVM other than
getting a bunch of down URL alerts on my phone.

How about setting up a cron to monitor it and auto restart if it's not
responding?

wget -q --timeout=30 http://localhost:8008/ -O /dev/null || (command to
restart jserv)

I'm not familiar with jserv but it looks like it serves a purpose similar
to tomcat, just a much older code base.

I've used similar scripts for tomcat in the past, such as this cron
*/5 * * * * /bin/grep -q \"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space\"
/logs/tomcat/web/1/run.latest.log  1>/dev/null 2>&1 && export
MYHOST=`hostname -s` && echo \"Restarting Tomcat on $MYHOST -
OutOfMemoryError\" | mail -s \"[$MYHOST] Restarting Tomcat due to
OutOfMemoryError\" [EMAIL PROTECTED] &&  /etc/init.d/appname restart
1>/dev/null 2>&1

When the app had a memory leak it helped me sleep better at night, as
the apps were restarting about 10x a day until the developers found the
source of the leak. Fortunately the app restarted reliably 99.9% of the
time. Another place I worked at before that had an app that was so poor
that you had to babysit it all the time, the number of things that could
go wrong was really too much work for us to automate it in a reasonable
amount of time.

Ideally the "load balancer" should be performing "health checks" against
the back end nodes and stop sending traffic to them if they are no
longer healthy. I'm not familiar with the load balancing method your
using, only with bigger load balancers like F5 BigIP.

Hello,

  I don't know jserv or about eventual specific jserv support, but Hyperic
might
be part of the answer. I know it can provide metrics about Tomcat and JVMs,
and application/server specific plugins can be written without too much
effort.
It's by far the most powerful/complete monitoring solution I've seen,
providing support out of the box or with plugins for a bunch of services and
applications.
Check
http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/hypcomm/HyperForge/#HyperFORGE-pluginforge
for existing plugins.
Perhaps what you want can be done with a JMX plugin ?

Really worth a try anyway...

Yeah, I could jump ship, but I prefer the stability of a proven base,
which is why I use CentOS wherever I can, and we're moving in that
direction, corporately speaking, anyway.  Besides, I just couldn't
leave this community - where would you folks get all the laughs from
then?  :-)

Hmm, I'd better check my repos and so forth - that did not show up in
my yum list

Is that CentOS extras or KB's or - never mind.  I'll just look.

Is this a continuation of the massive update seen earlier in
this/another thread?

If so, I still think you need to select a *few* of the packages manually
and upgrade them to reduce the massive dependancy processing. At some
point, enough "foundation" pieces will be in place to run the rest en
masse.

It might be instructive to see if swap is actually being used. In
another VT, top, free and other utils will report swap usage. Also,
swapon with no parameters will report swap usage.

Also, /proc/vmstat might have some useful information (if you dig enough
to actually know the meaning of the parameters).

Also, on my cat sys/vm/swappiness has 60 as a value. I know some folks
alter this stuff to beneficial/detrimental effect.

Absolutely. Make sure you get the newer yum with the yum-metadataparser, 
 That helps a lot with ram usage and also speed of the transactions.

It is not easy, and CERTAINLY not supported, but if you google for:

garnome  centos

you will find some people who have done it :D

Good suggestion.  Upgraded yum, sqlite, and python.  Also added enough 
swap space via a swapfile to let yum do what it wants.  Now it just eats 
memory until it hits a 4GB wall and then dies.


Version info follows.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -q yum

There is also a python-sqlite package that might have been updated.

rpm -q yum sqlite python python-sqlite

yum install yum-metadata-parser

should not need to install it manually, :D the latest released yum in c4

[CentOS] top in xen

[Robert - elists]

I haven't setup a xen box yet

Will try tonight.

Was wondering, what does top look like on a dual processor xen box in a
virtual ?

Do you see more than one processor or is it configurable from the xen master
or?

[CentOS] Network FS w/o user setup

[Ted Miller]

Is there a file system + configuration that will let me share a directory, 
and anyone who has access to something in that directory on the server will 
also have access (and lack of access) to the same files from the client? 
Clients will be Centos5, Win2K, WinXP.  Server is Centos5.


To put it another way, all users have accounts on the server.  I don't want 
to have to set up ANY user information on the server, other than what I set 
up to control local access.  I just want to say "Share /vmware" and have it 
available, to the same users who can access it locally.


With Samba I have to maintain duplicate user lists, password lists, and 
share access lists.  I have not been able to find a clear instructions on 
how NFS4 handles this, but what I found didn't seem any better than Samba.


I don't mind implementing ACLs on the server if it will do what I need, but 
I can't find anything that says it will save me any work either.


Looking for a better way,
Ted Miller
