As already said, you can get prebuild packages using the Atrpms
repository. I'm using those on a CentOS system and it is working fine.
I'm also maintaining the Asterisk and related packages for Atrpms.

[CentOS] Creating a controlled local repo

[Sorin Srbu]

Hi all,

I've been thinking about creating a local repo for our to-be CentOS-park
(we're currently in the process of migrating from RHEL3 to CentOS5). 
As we need to control all updates being applied (think WUS, Windows
Update Server) because of special software being run on servers and clients,
we must check first that our molecular modeling software doesn't bite the
grass should eg X, the kernel (and breaking the proprietary nvidia gfx-drivers
in the process) etc be updated in a "non-approved" way.

Therefore I've planned to create a local repo on one of our servers, share
/var/cache/yum, set keepcache to 1 on that server and have it reposync
periodically (like once a week) with CentOS Base, Extras, rpmforge and so on.

On the clients I'd disable all standard repos, and only have the clients yum
update from the aforementioned local repo server.

Would this work? Or is there a cleaner/nicer/better/simpler way to do this?
Gotchas' maybe? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thx in advance.

Why not make a "real" mirror using rsync, test new updates on a test
test machine, and run "yum update" on the clients when the test
machine is ok?

You could risk getting into trouble updating via a shared
/var/cache/yum when CentOS 5.3, 5.4, etc. comes out.

Use nvidia-x11-drv from rpmforge to get updated nvidia drivers.

Ok, that's a point I guess. Although, I don't quite see why this is different
from the setup I mentioned though, could you elaborate a bit? What would the
advantage be with your suggestion?

Also, how can I let all the clients automatically update from the server, when
the updates have been okayed? Yum-nightly maybe?


> You could risk getting into trouble updating via a shared

I'd use repomanage to weed out old stuff, maybe with a cronjob, and only keep
the latest versions. Also, there's always some hub-bub on this list, so I can
preemtively disable the reposync, until the new version's been tested. 


> Use nvidia-x11-drv from rpmforge to get updated nvidia drivers.

Are they any good? I inherited this linux-farm from the previous *nixadmin,
and the way it's setup assumes we use the proprietary drivers from nvidia, as
that's what the molecular modeling software company says'll work. We need the
fancy 3D-stuff and whatnot.

TIA.

nvidia-x11-drv is the proprietary drivers from Nvidia, just packaged
so that you (normally) don't have to worry about kernel upgrades.

We use this on a CentOS machine running molecular modelling software
without problems.

Can you use rsync with the -n switch (dryrun) to mirror from
mirror 1 to mirror 2 and see what would be transferred?

This is one of the things I don't understand at the
totalitarian republic of CentOS. I believe an announcement
was made also to distrowatch and when people come looking
they find out of date information.

Bugs/bugzilla should be for reporting bugs at least that
is the way it is elsewhere.

Talk to the kde.org people. Did you first check to see 
the package was not in any 3rd party repos? When you

It has been built for EPEL, but hasn't been pushed yet.  
KBS-Extras?

In the meantime, you can try rebuilding from source:
http://kdeforge.unl.edu/apt/kde-redhat/all/SRPMS.stable/koffice-1.6.3-16.src.rpm

rpmbuild -bb --define "rhel 5" koffice*.src.rpm

You can run diff with the two files, but why not just use rsync to fix 
it in a single step?


To compare directories with rsync, cd into one of them and:
rsync -avn .  /target/path
The -n option says to not actually copy files, but with the -v option 
this will list the files that are missing or different.  Because the -a 
option also sets the owner and modes, this may list files where those 
are the only differences.  Omit the -n option to make the changes.


The target path may be on a different host if you use the form 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/target.  With older versions of rsync you might have 
to add -essh to the arguments but that is the default now.  If you would 
like any extra files in the target copy to be deleted, you can add the 
--delete option, but be sure you know  what you are doing first.

iptables-save will only output the rules in a way that
iptables-restore will be able to rebuild the rules from.

If what you want is for these rules to be up when you boot the
machine, what you want is probably "service iptables save", which will
use iptables-save to record these rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables,
and a script automatically calls iptables-restore to read that file
upon boot.

One way is to crawl the sys file system.  On one of my systems the

AFAIK, "service iptables restart" does not cut off current
connections. The stateful connections are kept by the conntrack
module, which I believe will not be cleared on a restart of iptables,
and "service iptables restart" also uses iptables-restore, which does
the changes atomically instead of one by one.

However, don't blindly follow what I'm saying here, this is all from
memory and I might be wrong. If you really need to know it, verify it
on a test environment before you do it on the production one.

I think the problem is that the volunteer that created the CD and announced it
isn't the same volunteer that updates the website.

Volunteers usually have varying amounts of free time.

[CentOS] rsync mirroring

[David Hláčik]

Hello guys,

we have a production server named prod-server
we have a mirror server named storage-server .


I want to mirror a downloadsite on production server to a mirror
server , but i want to keep all files from production server on mirror
server .

More explicitly.

If i will have a file named "myproduct.exe" on production server ,
which is allready mirrored on mirror server , and i will delete it on
production server,  i want to have an original file renamed to
myproduct.exe_DATE_OF_DELETION and then new myproduct.exe normally
mirrored as before.
Basically - I want to backup all changes

I am syncing using

rsync -avz .

Should i add --backup --suffix = $(date) and thats it?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think CentOS is a U.S. Entity, so the export restrictions are probably
different, if they exist at all.

Besides, how do you restrict something that is freely downloadable from the
internet worldwide?

A somewhat cleaner way of doing this is to use the ``comm''
command as it generates a straight list as opposed to diff which
requires parsing the output.

cd /dir1
find . | sort > /tmp/find.mirror1
cd /dir2
find . | sort > /tmp/find.mirror2

# This will give a list of lines in mirror2 not in mirror1

But comm also "requires" that the data be sorted.  Otherwise you can
get spurious output because lines that are actually the same but do
not appear in order will show up as differences.

I'd go with the rsync solutions already posted, but that's just me.

That's certainly true, which is why my solution, and the one with
diff both sorted the find output before the comparison.

I use the ``comm'' solution quite frequently for this, and to do
things like compare ``rpm -ql packagename'' with ``rpm -qpl'' to
be sure that modifications I have made to a package have not
added or lost something compared to the installed version.

I find ``comm'' to be a very useful program that people may not
know of, and I use it in Linux/Unix classes I teach to show
people how CLI programs may make things much easier than GUIs.

As always, yes I did, albeit the pdf version.  Like much documentation, it
is possibly a wonderful aide memoire for somebody who knows the subject
intimately but it is a little terse and somewhat sparse for someone with
no prior knowledge and little time.

The difficulty that I need to address is what ripd configuration provides
rip info regarding 192.168.219.0/24 connected via eth1 out to all networks
connected via 2xx.yyy.zzz.0/24 on eth0.

Must I configure a virtual IP from 192.168.219.0/24 on eth0 as well as
eth1 or not?  Do I just set ripd.conf to:

router rip
  network 192.168.219.0/24


Is that all that is required?

Recall that the purpose of this exercise is to simultaneously provide
interim public and private ipv4 address connectivity on the same physical
lan behind our Internet router.  The long term objective is to remove the
public address space from the lan.  At that point this finessing becomes
unnecessary.

For example:


INET Router:
eth0
 IP 2xx.yyy.bbb.64

eth1
 IP 2xx.yyy.zzz.1
 IP 192.168.71.1
 ip 10.0.0.1

 network 2xx.yyy.zzz.0/24
 network 192.168.0.0/16
 network 10.0.0.0/8

host1:
eth0
 IP 2xx.yyy.zzz.22

host2:
eth0
 IP 2xx.yyy.zzz.23
eth1
 IP 192.168.219.1

host3:
eth0
 IP 192.168.219.102

host4:
eth0
 IP 192.168.71.65


INET Router <<>> SWITCH

host1/eth0 <<->> SWITCH

host2/eth0 <<->> SWITCH
host2/eth1 <<->> HUB

host3/eth0 <<->> HUB

host4/eth0 <<->> SWITCH


How do I set up ripd on host2 so that host4 (192.168.71.65) reaches host3
(192.168.219.102) via host2 (2xx.yyy.zzz.23)?  Clearly the ripd info for
192.168.219.0/24 must go out 216.185.71.23 but I am unclear as to what
ripd.conf configuration settings accomplish this.

I would have thought that updating the website, wikis etc
should be delegated to several individuals in case one person
is too busy. Isn't open source and community participation
more than an individual?

The success of the Fedora Project is not about the muscle
of Red Hat Inc but the participation of many volunteers and
the community at large. That is why for the example the Fedora
Forum or Fedora website are relevant because of continued
updates. (Even If Toracat from the CentOS forum disagrees).

I wasn't bashing, I just assumed that different people in the CentOS chain had
much different schedules as to what gets done when.

I don't expect up to the minute changes here, because ... frankly... You get
what you pay for. And since most users of CentOS aren't paying, the developers
have to keep day jobs for those luxuries like food and heat, a roof over their
heads, etc...

Eh?  If you are saying that the Fedora forum is a success and the
CentOS forums are a failure, then I would certainly disagree.

I would like to point out that, although I am helping the CentOS
project as one of the forum moderators, I have been participating in
several CentOS mailing lists as well.  I know how both venues work and
address different audience.  And I can say both are serving their
purposes very well in the CentOS community, often complimenting each
other.

I'm not saying "failure" - but community participation.
For example the fedora forum contains relevant news and
http://fedoraproject.org/ is a goldmine compared to the 
centos website. There is even a fedora weekly news.

I was reading the comments on Slashdot of the Wikipedia guy 
who migrated his servers from Red Hat 9/Fedora to CentOS 
and he asked who "uses CentOS as a desktop"?. 
Why didn't he ask the same of Fedora or Ubuntu?

Spike.

I don't know, do you?

I am trying to understand what you are trying to troll for here - if you think
that there's a lack of community participation, then just say so. Fedora 
Weekly news was put into life by someone loosely attached to the Fedora 
Project - a community member, so to say. If you are missing something like
that, you are free to enhance the work you do in the community.

If you just came here to complain about how other people don't help in the
community and that that lowers your CentOS experience - well, tough luck.

You will need to explain why this is 'Not recommended'.
I do this all the time without issues.
In fact this is how I build my tables.  No GUI or save options.

I've never had any issues doing so. I know Johnny has recommended that 
several times on the list as well. If he says it works, then I would say 
it can't hurt. ;)

YMMV. I prefer to build one via iptables, save it, then copy the file 
across to all other hosts that use the same rules.

What's your point?  Typos can happen whenever the keyboard is
used for typing. :) That is regardless if the typing goes into
a GUI, a command line, or file editing.

We are however supposed to test our doings.  Then most errors
get revealed, be them dumb typos or the more astute kind.

BTW, I also prefer a nicely commented rules file instead of
the dry list dumped by iptables-save.

Michael: The U.S. regulations for  export restrictions probably only
involve the Encryption utilities. As Scott pointed out, you can
probably DL CentOS worldwide, and I know there is at least one person
in Cuba who posts to this mailing list. If you are not in a country
that is in the above list (and I suspect Iraq is OK now), there should
not be a problem. Possibly Venezuela has been added to the above list,
or will be, in the future. The list involves state sponsors of
terrorism. North Korea may also be coming off the list.   Lanny

[CentOS] Help with custom udev rule

[Clint Dilks]

Hi,

I am trying create a custom udev rule to change the group and 
permissions on  /dev/net/tun.
Some research indicated that rather than directly editing the rule in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules that I should create my own local rules 
file something like 10-local.rules  which contains

KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660"

But unfortunately when I reboot the permissions are still

0 crw--- 1 root root 10, 200 Oct 24 14:09 /dev/net/tun

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Or point me to some clear 
documentation about creating custom udev rules.


Thanks

Export restrictions are only for people exporting the software.  If you
are going to export CentOS to a country on the export list ... DON'T :D

CentOS does not export our software, however if you are asking how you
can export it, the CentOS project thinks that since we do not sell the
software that it more closely resembles the Fedora Matrix:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Export

The major difference between the RHEL and Fedora is that Fedora is not a
commercial product (and neither is CentOS). As such, we feel CentOS
falls under the TSU exemption WRT licensing.  CentOS should not be
exported to any countries on the exempt list.

I also want to again stress that if YOU (a company) are going to export
CentOS then YOU (said company) have to determine the licensing
requirements with respect to the way YOU (said company) are using and
exporting CentOS.  If you are distributing it with commercial software
(for example) then it would probably NOT fall under the TSU exemption.

We think that all versions of CentOS fall under the 5D002 ECCN.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Your preferred method and mine might be different, but the end result is 
the same, so what does it really matter? That's rhetorical by the way, 
because we both answered his question.


Let this thread die now since the question was answered.

I'm not 100% sure of why this is happening, but I believe that the
rule to create /dev/net/tun in 50-udev.rules is overriding the one you
created. Did you try to create it as 99-local.rules? What about
creating a device with another name so that they do not conflict?

But in general I agree with you that udev is a little tricky and
documentation could be improved...

Re: [CentOS] Help with custom udev rule

[Filipe Brandenburger]

Hi,

A google search led me to:
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

There it states that you generally will want your rules before the
system default rules, but in any case it should apply all the rules,
not only the first match, so putting your rule after the defaults
could have some effect.

Also, it seems that the default permissions should be 0660, but for
some reason /dev/net/tun is created with 0600, even though there is
not setting for that in 50-udev.rules... still don't know why.

One other way that might go around this is to use the "last_rule"
option. Apparently, if you add OPTIONS+="last_rule" to the rule it
won't process the further down rules, so this might be one way to fix
your specific problem.

Another useful information from that webpage is the reference to the
"udevtest" command, that I believe could be used to trace exactly what
is happening on your case.

Anyway, I still haven't tried any of those. If you do and find out
what is happening, please share with us your results!

HTH,
Filipe

Re: [CentOS] Help with custom udev rule

[Filipe Brandenburger]

Hi,

Found another interesting detail. net/tun is listed in
/etc/udev/makedev.d/50-udev.nodes, which starts with this comment:
# These device have to be created manually

I just didn't find who/what actually creates those, and using which
permissions. Anyway, another clue in your puzzle.

HTH,
Filipe
