Didn't see a match. If someone can confirm, I'll post a bug.

[CentOS] [OT] Firefox loses plugins, anyone else? Bug? Known?

[William L. Maltby]

Fully up-to-date CentOS 5.2 and Firefox browser. A previous thread had a
problem with plugins disappearing. I've discovered, by accident, a
causal relationship.

Running a Thunderbird mail client (could happen with others? Haven't
tested with Evolution yet.) I click a link that opens the browser. BANG!
The plugins.dat is "emptied".

Restored from my rsync backup, repeat, BANG! "Empty" again.

Now, if the browser is already open, NP.

Anyone can confirm?

Known problem?

If not, I'll post bugs in the appropriate places.

TIA.

Bill,

Tried to reproduce this and could not - closed Firefox, clicked on a 
link in Thunderbird that opens Firefox.  All plugins are OK.

I have no plugins.dat, only

.mozilla/firefox/2ucxmtim.default/pluginreg.dat

firefox-3.0.4-1.el5.centos
thunderbird-2.0.0.18-1.el5.centos

Have had problems with disappearing plugins when first starting Firefox, 
and then having them return after closing/restarting.  Seemed to be a 
function of historical user configs and updates as it was not 
reproducible on a fresh user account.  Never could find a bug report on 
it and did not create one as it worked OK on a clean config.  Perhaps 
you could try this on a fresh account to check out that variable.

Random thought: caused by the link clicked? Try this one for me? Weak
possibility, but I thought no use in "ass-u-me"ing.

Heh. As mentioned in my other post, hadn't had 2nd cup yet. It is indeed
pluginreg.dat.

Yep. I did go to another account, but it uses evolution. The problem
didn't manifest itself using evolution. I'll go to another that uses
T'bird and try there. Then, a fresh account.

The fact that I can reproduce it on that account leaves me sure that
some kind of bug exists. It may only be exposed by some odd-ball thing
in that account or directory structure, like permissions or whatnot.

I'll investigate more throughout the day, as workload permits.

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 on Vmware Server: Disk space not preallocated -> no disk found by installer

[Sven]

Hi folks

I am trying to install CentOS 5.2 in Vmware Server environment. In my
VM disk space is not preallocated for the virtual disk (dynamically).
The installer doesn't find the disk. When preallocating 6 GB there is
no problem.

See screenshot[0]

Any ideas?

kind regards
Sven

Are you using a 64-bit firefox by chance?
I have a similar problem with flash plugin. Try to reload a page or
restart the browser. This works for me.
I didn't look any further as I thought this to be a problem of
32-bit flash plugin with 64-bit browser.

1) you are running a windows host
2) you are using a closed source but free software
3) there is no CentOS error message displayed

I can't see anything to indicate why it doesn't show the disk, but I've 
used dynamic disks for installation before.

I'm on a 32 bit system. Previous restarts by clicking a link in T'bird
didn't fix. Neither did starting from desktop.

Strange. I am a bug triager of (among others) all gecko-related 
bugs in the RH bugzilla, and I cannot recall to hear about a bug 
like this.

Isn't there something strange about your set-up ($HOME on NFS, 
SELinux issue, ...)?

No NFS active. SELinux would affect all users/apps as far as I can see.
No messages in secure or messages related to anything that looks
appropriate.

The "something strange about your set-up" was one of my thoughts. AFAIK,
it's a "box stock" setup now. However, in the past, I had beta versions
of the 3.0.x installed locally. There was some local manual manipulation
involved in that. I'll be checking against another login that does not
have that history, as a starting point. Subsequent steps will be based
on the results of that, e.g. compare directories, permissions, etc. I
strongly suspect I'll find something there.

I did the grub reinstall, it did not change anything but thanks for the 
suggestion and link.

I do not know, but I suspect that the problem has something to do with 
the fact that /boot is type ext2 while the rest of the file system is 
type ext3.  I must have done this accidentally installing the system.  
It would take up to much of my time to reinstall the whole system again 
on the laptop, setup repositories, install wine, install wireless, 
install gstm and configure etc etc.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mount -l
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw) [/]
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) [/boot]
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

I also tried umount on /boot and checked to try and find another 
grub.conf file. After the umount command the /boot mount point was empty 
so I do not think this is a problem

Thanks for the suggestions so far, but so far nothing has helped.

I have several other systems that I can check against, which all have 
the "splashimage thingy" and work as expected.  I did verify that 
splashimage is referencing the file correctly i.e. (hd0,0) is /boot and 
I can open splash.xpm.gz in gimp and it looks like what is displayed 
when the system boots.

I doubt this is the source of your problem, but google can tell you how 
to convert an ext2 fs to ext3 (tune2fs). Very easy, nothing to reinstall.

[CentOS] Web Filter

[Joseph L. Casale]

I have a location using a CentOS 5 server that's multihomed running Asterisk 
and iptables for internal web access.

Recently some sales people got busted surfing some explicit content so the 
owner wants something in there to block this.

I had heard of Dans Guardian and am reading about what's involved here but just 
wanted an opinion on what's the best solution for this. NTLM silent auth would 
be an asset, but the lan is simple and the owner doesn't need granular control 
if it would be complicated.

What are you guys using with good results?/
Thanks?

[CentOS] Need a little card file database app

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have gobs of notes of tips I have learned here and elsewhere.   many 
of them are in text files, some are in Freemind.

I was thinking I need some sort of card file system that can be searched 
on a couple of keywords like:

Centos TightVNC fonts

And what it takes to setup the sym links to get TightVNC running in 
Centos


So anyone wish to share their favorite tidbit recording tool?

I agree.

Are you sure that the hardware is supported on CentOS?  I don't
recognize the specific model you mentioned, so I don't know what CPU,
motherboard, memory, etc. you have.

Have you tried timeout=0?

Have you checked all the PROM settings?

I'm just fishing here 'cuz nothing so far rings a bell

You are both absolutely correct, changing from ext2 to ext3 did nothing 
to fix this.  Not sure about the MB manufactured but it is a Pentium M 
1.60GHz stepping 08 CPU with an Intel 915G chipset and a WD600UE ATA HDD

About the only options in the BIOS are the Date and Time and the Boot 
sequence.

I had actually tried to load Ubuntu first as I had herd (pun intended) 
"good things" about it. Was not at all happy with that distro and moved 
back to CentOS ASAP.

Setting timeout=0 does allow it to boot without having to press the 
enter key.  The splash screen just flashes then the boot starts.
Not really a solution but a workaround.  I can live with it this way but 
still curious as to what is going on.

Please bottom post.

All you have to do is download and compile the program.  UnTAR it and 
read the README for instructions.
I am not sure this is the solution you are looking for.  I use it the 
same way on my Linux boxes that I use MyEnTunnel on a Windows box.

I exclusively use dynamic allocation and it works for me with CentOS 5.2

Opendns, as Lanny suggested, works as they advertise. Its not very 
granular though.

I've also been using Untangle (untangle.com) and just love it. Its FLOSS 
with commercial add-ons; but I think the straight FLOSS capabilities are 
great without the fee-based extras.

Its a linux-based router distro. Capable of full NAT routing or as a 
transparent bridge, you just build up a beige box with 2 NICs and put 
this baby in between the PCs and the internet.

Its got a great UI, and is really flexible.

Depending on what you were hoping for/envisioning it could be a great fit.

How about

rpmbuild --rebuild \

I'm not sure if the latest has all the features OP is seeking, but I've
been using IPCop for ages with NP (which means I've not really visited
the site and browsed as I should). It has a decent Web interface for
administration, ability to block ports, custom Iptables rules inclusion
support, squid proxy capability, etc. Has Green/Red/Blue/Orange zone
support. I've run it on my old Pentium 200MHz with 96MB and got
900MB/sec from good sites through my Road Runner turbo link (w/10/100 Mb
nics). With 2xGB nics on an AMD K7 @ 360MHz, 1.2MB/sec.

Easy install, administration and upgrade path. Biggest weakness is that
docs seem to lag severly sometimes.

And it's FREE open source based on LFS (2.4 kernels?). Find it here.

I use Tomboy; and the data is stored in XML, so I can recover it if the
apps goes under someday.  It also runs as a d-bus service so you can
access, create, search your notes using a scripting language (like
Python).

Hi Bill,
I've never used IPCop (opting for m0n0wall instead), but I was under the 
impression that IPCop lacked any content filtering features requested by 
the OP.

A quick perusing of the website leads me to believe its trying to be a 
kick-ass beige-box firewall/router (and most-likely succeeding), but it 
seems like a content filter it is not. Did I miss some glaring features?

Thanks for the conservation,
Andy

This machine is nearly stock with all the nat/firewall done in a simple
hand written script, it also serves as an Asterisk PBX so I couldnt use
an appliance.

I suppose but the firewall is adequate. I figure its a toss between DG or
squid/squidproxy and it looks like the later would do what I need at another
location with a bigger AD infrastructure much easier so I might be inclined to
to give it a whirl. Hopefully rpm's exists for squid somewhere...

Thanks for all the suggestions!

No. By the time I read the post I had replied to, I couldn't recall all
the features the OP wanted. And, as I mentioned, I hadn't been to the
site for a _long_ time. So I wasn't sure what features it had.

On top of all that, I'm relatively inexperienced at that stuff and am
not sure what all is meant by a content filter. From my ignorant POV,
being able to stop connections from/to certain sites _seemed_ seemed to
fall within that capability. Of course my whole "unnerstaning" of that
is based on casual hearing of things like "Parental Controls", blocking
access to/from sites, etc.

I use IPCop for our Firewall/Router at home, but there are people on
this list (Scott, etc.) who use it in the Enterprise. If you check out
the IPCop web site   possibly you will find
there is an Add On available that will do what you need to do.

I use it (IPCOP) here on our "Free Wireless Access" for our Customers.
I had some customers surfing porn in the waiting area.
I added the Advanced Proxy and URL Filter Add-ons.
http://www.advproxy.net/
http://www.urlfilter.net/

I also use Open DNS behind that, so I get two shots at blocking it.

Easy to set up. I rarely check it. Anytime I get a complaint about it not
working, it because the Linksys WAP has froze.
Dans Guardian is not free for business use

I have it running on a IBM Netvista Celeron 1000 with 256m of ram on a 10g
drive.
Been in place for 3 years. Current uptime is 235 days.

Matěj et al,

I was able to _start_ a comparison process, not completed yet. Details
follow. But first, one more piece of background. In  response to the
previous thread I mentioned, I had saved a copy of the pluginreg.dat as
pluginreg.dat-. Did some manual edits, finished trying to help that
previous issue and copied the pluginreg.dat- back to pluginreg.dat. All
seemed normal at that time, though I can't recall firing up FF by
clicking a link from T'bird.

Now, I logged in as a user that had never had the beta version installed
and had no prior manual manipulation.

- Made sure that all instances of FF were closed on the system for all
  users (me, myself and I)
- Started T'bird, opened the pertinent mail, clicked the same link
- Did cp -a of the pluginreg.dat to pluginreg.dat- (this "duplicates"
  the structure that exists in the original offending instance). At that
  version all my stuff seems normal.
- Unfortunately, 22 language packs were available. I disabled all those
  and restarted (btw, when that is done the previous saved tabs are
  lost - no prompt for "Save ..." is issued - another issue I guess).
- Upon restart, there were differences between the pluginreg.dat and
  pluginreg.dat-.
- I repeated the "click on link, cp -a, quit" several times, saving
  several instances of the pluginreg.dat as -2, -3, ...

Net result is that all plugins but Shockwave Flash disappeared (most
other things were still there through -2 version, although a detailed
examination will be needed to confirm this) and the _obvious_ and
_quickly_ seen changes through version -2 were a re-ordering of the
entries and a change to an (apparent) sequence or version number of some
kind. After that all disappeared but shockwave.

Doing a "less" on the new pluginreg.dat revealed nothing other than most
plugins were gone (mplayer, helix, adobe reader) and many application
bindings disappeared.

I also did an "od -c" to see if some hinky DOS formatting crept in. I
didn't find any \r\n sequences though, just the normal \n.

I've the saved versions of the pluginreg.dat.

Next-to-last time in FF, I went to tools->add-ons and the plugins tab
was empty. I quit and did the "click link" thing again, which started FF
again. This time the plugins tab shows Shockwave Flash only is
available.

If this is too OT for the list, feel free to mail directly. I'm willing
to help any way I can. Further, if there is something else you would
like me to try, please just say so.

Thanks for your interest, time and assistance.

An old-timer like you and you don't know what content filtering is?
Oh, where have you been, Billy-boy, Billy-boy?

As easily as I can depict it, it's where offensive (to the
admin/enterprise/censor) subject matter, such as porn or foul
language, gets analyzed by the filter and access allowed or denied
based on that, not necessarily the IP address or URL.  A "good" CBF
will let you go to playboy.com, but you wouldn't be able to see any of
the pictures within.

For example, the Clinton White House page was caught by Net Nanny (and
possibly others) because it mentioned that Bill and Hillary were a
couple (as in married) - because, "couple" as a verb has sexual
connotations and the filter couldn't tell the difference.

Comprenez-vous, monsieur?

Out of the blue: I just noticed that T'bird properly blocked remote
images on the message containing the URL. I wonder if T'bird is causing
a problem? Doesn't seem likely, but thought I would mention that.

[CentOS] Adding RAM

[Matt]

I have a server running Centos 4.7 32bit.  Will moving from 4Gig of
RAM to 8Gig do any good?  Since its 32bit I assume it will only be
able to address the first 4Gig not?  When I installed CentOS I did not
do anything special to enable using more then 4Gig if thats required.
Exim, spamassassin and Clamd seem to be the biggest load on this
machine.  My biggest bottle neck is disk I/O anyway.

Wish I had installed CentOS 5.x 64bit way back when but some of the
software I was using at time listed support for it as beta.

As long as you are using a SMP kernel you can use up to 64GB of RAM
(though each proccess can only address 4GB of this). So if you can
find any trace of  "SMP" in the uname (grep is your friend) then it
should work fine.

I've been to see my ... OOPS!

In reality, I was/am a "backroom" guy that got out of heavy involvement
in programming stuff before the WWW became "all the rage". Needless to
say, never got into all the "fancy doo-dads". Further, absolutely no
interest at all in UI stuff - it's was always a pain during design phase
because of the endless nit-picking over placement, size, colors,
fonts, ... "Give me a break" was the phrase with which I would usually
leave the meeting. It never caused much stir because of the way I was
perceived.

PAE, not SMP.

Geez Louise!

Went back to the original problem desktop. Did a find plug\* -ls in
the .mozilla directory. The current pluginreg.dat was 65 bytes. Fired up
FF from the desktop, went to T'bird, clicked the link. Went to
tools->add-ons and looked at the plugins tab. EVERYTHING IS THERE NOW!

Another find shows pluginreg.dat is now 5267 bytes, the same as my saved
pluginreg.dat-.

It's beyond me unless there's the old uninitialized pointer problem, or
memory leakage or some-such.

Those files are still available now.

He should be able to replace the kernel via rpm -e and rpm -i

That said, I doubt he'll actually see a benefit.
PAE is slow.
If you want to see a real performance-gain, install 5.2 x86-64.

Are you asking how to use putty for ssh forwarding?

See putty's documentation:

3.5 Using port forwarding in SSH
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter3.html#using-port-forwarding


If you are asking how to do port forwarding within CentOS:

Bad reference (though except for the command name it appears to work alike).

CentOS does not include SSH2 from ssh.com, but OpenSSH from the OpenBSD project.

The documentation for port forwarding using OpenSSH is here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1#TCP+FORWARDING

Or, better yet, SSH documentation for RHEL5.2, which is also published
in CentOS website:

[CentOS] Trying to setting a selinux policy to Nagios 3.0.6 on CentOS 5.2 .

[Vinicius]

Hello,

I'm trying to run Nagios 3.0.6 on CentOS 5.2 with SELinux in enforcing mode but
it is not working.

httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_2.centos.4
nagios-3.0.6-1.el5.rf

I followed the steps bellow to try to create a selinux policy to Nagios but it
is failing.

Any help, please?
