You basically have two ways to go. 1) Google the PCI bridge 2) run lspci with a few -v options and attempt to decode the output. The first approach would have told you that the AMD bridge does indeed support PCI-X version 2 but only to 266 MHz (assuming the board/bios etc. supports it). The cheap intel chip you mentioned below wont even likely run 133 MHz version 1 very fast... But at this point it's probably relevant to ask why do you care? I have seen many high performance PCI, PCI-X and PCI-express cards but PCI-X-2? ...that hasn't seen any wide use at all. Do you really have a card that is PCI-X-2? As I understand it it's quite dead in the water and everyone has moved on to PCI-express. /Peter signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have it working, with one glitch (cannot get to the IPCop web interface from my Desktop) in the Backup IPCop box. Yesterday, I installed a different HD, ran Diagnostics on that, ran Memtest 86 and then did a clean install of IPCop 1.4.16 from the CD I made last year. Last night, with some difficulty, I was able to connect to the IPCop box with the web browser, change the settings for SSH in it, but I could not browse. There was no resolution. This morning, I noticed when it booted there was a message, "Bad Default Gateway". Previously, "Default Gateway" was blank. In the IPCop box, where it has "DNS & Gateway" settings, I have the 2 IP addresses to access the opendns.com DNS service (they have DNS servers in 4 U.S. cities and in London as I recall) and after I changed "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 (the ADSL modem) I was online.:-) Not sure why I am not able to get to it via the web browser on my Desktop. Also, last night, when I was able to access the IPCop box with the web browser, I noticed that it is on IPCop v.1.4.16, but it said that there are no updates available. I know there are two (2) updates available, to bring it up to 1.4.18. So, with your help and the help of others, all greatly appreciated, I have a Caching DNS Server working on my IPCop box and I have also discontinued using the problematic DNS Servers at my ISP. :-) Thanks much, to everyone who provided ideas. and guidance! It's running Headless now and I think the HW in that box is OK, with the probable exception of the Floppy Drive. Once I can get to it via the web browser, I can backup to my Desktop. dig +trace does not work the same for me as it does for you, per your explanation.

Ctrl-Z will suspend the process, then run the "bg" command to continue running it on background, then run "disown %1" to make your shell "forget" about the job and not send it a HUP (Hang-Up) signal when you log out from it. I works, unless your process will try to read from stdin, in that case it might be killed because there is no controlling tty (or something to that effect). In general, though, running it on a "screen" session is a much better alternative, because you then can detach (Ctrl-A, d) and reattach (screen -xRR) to continue watching the output. The only problem is that you must remember to use "screen" *before* you start running your process...

Or if you want a more modern approach - use freenx on the server and the NX client from www.nomachine.com. This will give you a complete GUI desktop that you can suspend when you disconnect and you can simply leave each process running it its own window so it is easy to find.

One of the many vague points is the udp port used by the Miredo client in relay mode. Is it 'random' or is it 3545? How do I find out what it is? Plus how do I set up my server so that the Miredo server and client relay start as part of the system boot?

You should be blocking ALL rfc1918 addresses from the Internet, as they are by definition an attack. If this is from an internal source, go to that source and figure out what it is doing. rfc1918 defines PRIVATE ipv4 addresses. These are not routed over the Internet.

We have a load-balancing device in front of this DNS server. It is configured so that all Internet traffic that comes through appears to originate from 10.100.1.1. > rfc1918 defines PRIVATE ipv4 addresses. These are not routed over the > Internet.

Yep, these are internal DNS servers that were mis-configured by the previous admin. I'm trying to do some cleanup and make sure that they are not available to the public internet.

You have to double it to make it even marginally secure. Here, let me help you out: Just look at *how* other distributions want to have their repositories set up and follow that. Normally mirroring a complete repository should be enough. So you better ask that on a Ubuntu or Gentoo list There. see how secure that is!

> I do have a rule for blocking TCP, forgot to mention that. You can > see from my tcpdump output above that the inbound packet is UDP > though. I wonder why iptables doesn't block it even with this rule? The really strange part about this is, if I remove the ACCEPT rules that are further down in my iptables config, NO dns traffic gets through at all, due to the final REJECT rule: ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain state NEW ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain state NEW ... ... REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited So iptables does seem to be able to properly recognize udp port 53 traffic, it's just not filtering correctly against the source IP address. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] r8169-driver CentOS5.2
Hi all, Another FYI-mail (and just to verify that I'm not going insane here); I recently purchased an ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI -board with a tri-core Phenom. This is a small uATX-board with all the garnish integrated motherboards are supposed to come with, and fairly well supported in CentOS 5 and other modern distros. When I installed it (~2 months ago) the NIC was not supported; Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02) ...but Realtek provided a 2.6-kernel compatible r8168-driver; r8168-8.006.00 When the CentOS 5.2 updates were published, I saw to my happiness that the kernel-supplied r8169-driver now handled the NIC, and I had no reason to rebuild the r8168-driver to support the new kernel. Last time I rebooted, was July 2nd, to the 2.6.19-92.1.6.el5 kernel. Since then, the kernel supplied r8169-driver worked like a charm. The machine is a home file-server, serving files over NFS and SMB, and runs my torrent downloads. It also pulls CentOS updates. I would have noticed if it did not work. Today, I got around to replacing a failed disk, and after rebooting I had no network connectivity. The NIC displayed 'weird' symptoms; 10Mbps link as shown by ethtool, 100Mbps link as shown by the link-indicator on the switch, ifconfig showed no TX-packets, some RX-packets, /billions/ of dropped packets - increasing by millions every second. The kernel log showed multiple 'Link down' entries. After digging around a little, swapping switch-ports, yattayatta, I unloaded the r8169-module (rmmod) and built and loaded the Realtek-supplied r8168-module. Link up, packtes going in and out, no dropped packets, GigE link, etc etc. At this point I have no idea what actually happened. I'm thinking some weird state on the PHY of the NIC (I've seen this on the Nvidia NICs) that was not flushed due to a too short power-loss, or possibly that the r8168-driver sets some PHY-state that was not lost at the kernel-update that brought me the 'working' r8169-driver, or something similar. I'm taking suggestions, tho. Anyone else with this same board, CentOS 5.2 (x86_64) and using the r8169-driver? -S -- Simen Thoresen, Dolphin ICS Systems Administration and Wulfkit Support ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you have a bug, file a bug against the component that is the problem. The fact that bug buddy does not file it directly to gnome is really irrelevant as they are no longer providing any support for 2.16.x. So, when you have a problem (ignoring bug buddy, which is to gnome and not to RH), then just file the bug against the thing that is broken. The next time Evolution Calendar crashes on me, I will write it up in CentOS Bugzilla. I am currently using thunderbird for my e-mail ... but I have setup a test evolution instance and it is not failing here when I exit.

If you know the name of the process you may use 'killall -9 processname'. SIGHUP I always call 'kill -HUP pidofprocess'. Or 'killall -HUP processname'.

Does anyone has implemented this sucessfully? I am asking this because we are implementing Xen on our test lab machines, which they hold up to three 3com and intel Nics 10/100mbps based. These servers are meant to replace MS messaging and intranet webservers which holds up to 5000 hits per day and thousands of mails, and probably the Dom0 could not handle this kind of setup with only one 100mbps link, and could not afford changing all the networking hardware to gigabit, at least not yet.

fabian dacunha wrote: > a) do i have to create all the existing user accounts on my existing email > server to this new server > cause i already hav about 300+ email users already Depends what you want to accomplish, for the simplest of setups, no. You can (depending on the MTA of course), simply route all mail for a particular domain or host name to another system. In postfix this is accomplished like this: (snip the usual basic config) transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname, $alias_maps, hash:/etc/postfix/local_recipient then in /etc/postfix/local_recipient: @mydomain.com THIS VALUE MUST BE PRESENT BUT IS IGNORED and in /etc/postfix/transport: mydomain.com smtp:name_of_other_smtp_server run postmap hash:/etc/postfix/local_recipient run postmap hash:/etc/postfix/transport restart postfix and off you go. If you want to reject mails for invalid users at the backup MX then you can probably put the user names in the local_recipient file above, create the accounts on the system, or use a distributed authentication database like SQL, LDAP etc. My preference is the above blind forward method, if the user is invalid then the server will reject it, I don't care if it sits in the queue for a few days on the backup system. > b) incase my first email server fails are the emails on the first server > lost Depends on what you mean by fail and depends if the mail on the first server is stored there or if that system simply forwards on to another host for delivery to users. If the users that read mail access it from that system, and that system bursts into flames, and the mails happen to sit on internal storage inside the system(as opposed to a NAS or a SAN) then yes mail stored on that system is lost. If the system simply crashes and needs to be rebooted then it is likely nothing is lost. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Having multiple servers with the same MX priority works fine (I prefer to think of this as distance as the lower ones have higher priority). There's no good reason to have multiple distances other than the shortest for final delivery and one or more with higher in case the primary is not available for some reason. >a) do i have to create all the existing user accounts on my existing email >server to this new server >cause i already hav about 300+ email users already No, the secondary MX server(s) don't need any user accounts. Using postfix, we do generate a virtual file for each secondary MX server containing all the valid addresses for the domain(s) served by the primary server, allowing the MX servers to reject invalid accounts without having real user accounts. There are some good arguments for having a single MX server rather than multiple MX servers as it prevents spammers from attempting to deliver mail through the higher distance MX servers which may well not have the same anti-spam rules. At one of our regional ISP customers with about 10,000 e- mail accounts, we use a single MX server to accept incoming messages, This server runs postfix, amavisd-new, and clamav to pre-screen incoming messages for worms (Windows is the Virus) and phishing messages, then it forwards clean messages to a cluster of systems that do spamassassin checking and message delivery to the user's Maildir message stores which are NFS mounted on a central server. The MX server in this case rejects about 2,000,000 messages a day using a variety of IP filters, and delivers about 250,000 messages a day. It has a load average less than 1.00 except during the daily maintenance and security audits. It actually is the primary MX server for two distinct groups of domains, each with a separate user base. Each machine that is home to the user's home directories updates its own section of the postfix virtual table, using rsync to update the MX server whenever anything changes with the users. The MX server uses the postfix transport file to direct mail to the appropriate cluster servers to deliver mail.

I have been trying to document all that I have been using (skipping what I have discarded, as I don't know if I know it). It has pid files: /var/run/miredo.pid How would I get lock files? You create lock files as a simple way to not run a process more than one at a time. I was asking how I make/control a lock file when the rpm provides a binary run module and the man page does not mention a lock file. How do I find out if there is a lock file? How do I get one working? Do I necessarily need one, perhaps the binary determines its running status before trying to start a second copy? Actually, I think I discovered that miredo will not start a second copy, oops. The other choice is to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but that won't give you control with the system command. I MUST include this in my docs. I keep forgetting the file name. This will probably be good enough, as once I get it working, it will be an auto start. And less effort than the first point. Yes, rc.local will be easier to get the service running, but if you are creating something for distribution, service miredo restart can be easier for a noobie then kill -HUP (what was that pid# again?) Miredo comes from sourceforge. Fortunately, I do not have to create it. Here is an easier option. http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/miredo/ I ment rpmforge which is how I access dag's stuff per the Centos wiki, giving me: miredo-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm So I am running it. I am now fighting with routing. All eth1 has is a Scope:Link address, yet ::/0 is has a metric of 1024 to it, while the Teredo route has a metric of 1029, so I am not getting to Teredo relay. Only can access other Teredo hosts over the Teredo interface. Something is not right yet: route -A inet6 -n Kernel IPv6 routing table Destination Next HopFlags Metric RefUse Iface 2001::/32 :: U 25600 teredo fe80::/64 :: U 25600 eth1 fe80::/64 :: U 25600 teredo ::/0 fe80::a180:bc7:2364:5febUGDA 1024 126 0 eth1 ::/0 :: U 1029 00 teredo ::1/128 :: U 0 01 lo 2001:0:53aa:64c:0:7741:b75b:47b9/128 :: U 0 01 lo fe80::::/128 :: U 0 01 lo fe80::21b:77ff:fe43:978/128 :: U 0 37 1 lo ff02::1/128 ff02::1 UC0 10 eth1 ff02::2/128 ff02::2 UC0 50 eth1 ff02::c/128 ff02::c UC0 29 0 eth1 ff02::16/128 ff02::16UC0 33 0 eth1 ff02::fb/128 ff02::fbUC0 114 0 eth1 ff02::1:2/128 ff02::1:2 UC0 699 0 eth1 ff02::1:3/128 ff02::1:3 UC0 2905 0 eth1 ff02::1:ff03:10a7/128 ff02::1:ff03:10a7 UC0 10 eth1 ff02::1:ff10:497/128 ff02::1:ff10:497UC0 10 eth1 ff02::1:ff1d:a753/128 ff02
[CentOS] Documentation file for ifcfg options
Sometime in the past two weeks, Some kind person pointed me to a GREAT document file that explained all those commands you find in the ifcfg-* files and the network file (and others, I believe). It was a great help to me, and now I need it again, and I did not write down the file location, nor can I find that original note. My bad, I am busy documenting everything I can now. But I really need that info. Can someone point me to file again? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] RADVD and default IPv6 gateway
the man page for RADVD says: radvd is the router advertisement daemon for IPv6. It listens to router solicitations and sends router advertisements as described in "Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)" (RFC 2461). With these advertise- ments hosts can automatically configure their addresses and some other parameters. They also can choose a default router based on these adver- tisements. But there is nothing I see in man radvd.conf that answers how hosts choose a default router, nor can I find anything else about this. Anyone know the answer or where to get the information??? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Interesting timing, I was just looking at :) It's part of the initscripts package and on CentOS 5.2 it's in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.19.EL/sysconfig.txt -- Matthew Kent \ SA \ bravenet.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Running "find /usr/share/doc -type f | xargs grep -l ifcfg" turns up a few candidates, the most likely being: /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
