1500 clients at the same time is a lot and
"No encryption necessary" sounds like a contradiction.

OpenVPN should be as good as any vpn solution...  and since it works for you
benchmark it and  plan on multiple servers as traffic performance
measures indicate.

It is possible that dedicated Cisco hardware solutions will scale
better.  At a minimum they can set a cost base line to validate the
value of your Linux solution.

Management of clients needs to be expanded.

Point-to-point tunneling protocol does not make sense
based on your email address.

for large scale VPN networks like that, I'd evalulate the 
Juniper/Netscreen stuff before I'd go Cisco.

you might want to read up on what rpm repackage is and how it works.

beside that, you need to run the transactions manually to get anything 
like that working. at best, its basic and not needed. Since you can get 
any rpm from the repo you want, and configs should be managed in a 
config management system

This really has me buffaloed.

I suppose I can run a clean and see what happens, but the systems that 
got the new kernel, got it, and how do you take it back to try again?

And the system that that did not get, well, I suppose a clean might see 
if it gets it now. Stay tuned.

Yes a yum clean all on the notebook that did not get the kernel is now 
not only getting the kernel but also: cups and enscript.

So I had some problems here. The metadata or dbcache? This is my 
notebook, and when I am away at conferences, I change my source of 
update and base to the mirrors, and when I get back I change back to my 
local repo. That might be why it got lost? I guess I should add a 'yum 
clean all' whenever I make these changes

But I guess you did not announce the kernel, but anyone pulling the 
updates locally would be getting them?

If you're running 'yum update' against your local mirrored repo, try 
running 'yum clean metadata' on systems that aren't picking up updates 
that you know exist (i.e, are picked up on other systems), and then 
retry 'yum update'.

When I went to school, 15 was less than 24, so that is why it isn't in the

Or at least added a patch that erroneously changed the version label to that

I would say it's either a problem with your mirror, or with your local cache.

Try "yum clean all" followed by the same update again.

I tried it here (different mirror) and it worked for me:

[CentOS] RPM rollback/repackage with CentOS 4

[santisaez]

Hi,

Is there any way to list availabe RPM rollback's and timestamps in CentOS 4?

It's possible to get RPM rollbacks with up2date, but appears that's  
deprecated ;-(

# up2date --list-rollbacks
This feature is deprecated and no longer functional

I want a method to list current available rollback and the timestamp:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7034

How do you deal with this feature? Is there any plugin for Yum? Now I  
list packages from "/var/spool/repackage/" and install/rollback  
manually, but I would prefer something more straightforward.

Regards,

[CentOS] yum udpate not getting new kernel

[Robert Moskowitz]

On one notebook (so far), I have not picked up the new kernel: 
kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.i686.rpm

I have gotten it on some notebooks.

So far the only difference I can see between the systems that MIGHT 
matter is those that got the update were new installs and had not 
reached 3 installed kernels.  The one that failed already had 3 kernels 
in /boot.  But I seem to recall this was about how many to keep in 
/boot, not when to stop receiving them

Usually when I see this error, it's because folks have excluded the
i386/i686 packages, but still have 1 or 2 installed. It's either that
or a stale mirror as another already pointed out.

I know how they work ;-) I was under the impression that announce is 
digest-only as I don't have any "normal" announcements. Apparently, this 
isn't the case.

Upstream issue since 5.0 -

For now do a yum --exclude=nautilus-sendto groupinstall "GNOME Desktop

This will hopefully be fixed in 5.3

I do an rsync to my local repo. I had looked at the logs just to see 
what came over, and saw the new kernel. Of course I can't see what the 
xml is saying is currently available...

So then I ran yum update on some of my systems. Some picked up the new

you seem to run into this problem often, it might be worth actually 
looking to find the part of your process that is broken and fixing it.

within the CentOS setup, metadata for a package is only created once and 
only at one place and is done within a few seconds of the email being 
sent out announcing the package.

Re: [CentOS] cpuspeed problems with 5.2 and 2.6.18-92.1.18 kernel revision

[ArcosCom Linux User]

Ok, but is not working fine.

The last try:
   1) Power off the laptop along 2/3 hours.
   2) Power on and log into gnome.
   3) The cpuspeed monitor shows that all is working fine.
   4) Some minutes after, the speed goes down to 800 MHz and no more wants
to grow up. I can't change to force performance or using userspace and
select the speed.

Any help more about?

If I launch any heavy compilation (as kernel compilation), the speed don't
want to grow up. Really is working fine under these circumstances with the
performance governor selected?

It did on my daughter's box too. Mine died today. The reason I was
having the mouse freeze, and other symptoms, on my Dell Dimension 2400
box, is that the motherboard is damaged. I ran the Dell Diagnostics on
it, Sunday, and it was supposedly OK. Dell wants about US$237 for a

First, please do not top post in this forum / on this list.

Second, try this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null 

and see if that drives your cpuspeed up.

BTW, how are you checking the cpuspeed?  Are you looking at /proc/cpuinfo?

TigerDirect.com has a $99 box available, and it's pretty low end, but
it might suit your purposes.

The same as before, instead compile I do the dd comand and see the

the same as cpuinfo: 800Mhz.

Another way to go?

Mark: H. If I was in the USA, I'd go for that, in a minute. But,
we are down here in South America (much closer to Miami, FL than you
are!) , so there is a problem with transportation and customs.
However, I wonder how much it weighs and if it is *very* light, maybe
I could have it shipped down here. I will look at TigerDirect.com and
check it out. Thanks for the idea! I'm planning to remove the HD,
DVD-ROM, CD-RW drive from my box, probably tomorrow, and transplant
them into the old box. The only thing about the Dell boxes is that
they use some proprietary parts. For example, the power supply
connectors are non standard. Dell is great for support, but bad in a
situation like this, where you need the proprietary part and it costs
an arm and a leg. Generic is better for cheap replacement parts! Now,
I have another idea, along the same line as the Tiger Direct box.
There is something called mercadolibre.com.co in Colombia, a poor
imitation of ebay and maybe I can find a box like TigerDirect has,
there, or in an ad in a Bogota newspaper. Great idea! Thanks! Lanny

I hadn't thought about blaming someone else for this problem, but,
thank you for the idea!  :-)  Actually, the box has always had a UPS
with automatic voltage regulation and it is our newest box, the 2nd
one I'd won in a raffle, but, it's almost 4 years old. First time we
have had a catastrophic failure of a motherboard in our house.

My backup box is an old 200MHz Pentium w/96MB. Maybe there is a local
dealer or private party that has a good old one you can pick up $Cheap.

When I'm using the old backup with IPCop, I see no performance
difference. Should suit your needs if only IPCop is the purpose. And
maybe the seller would let you try it first.

I've seen this on my laptop also. 

Its an older thinkpad t20. Its always running slower by 200MHZ or
something close to that. I've even swapped the cpu to a newer faster
version. 

Ensured cpuspeed was turned off, and still the issue persisted. Havent
loaded it with another os to see if the issue stands figured I'm a Cent

Just as a note. It did it prior to me upgrading to 5.2 from 4.7.

[CentOS] OT: Ping failed

[Jun Salen]

Hi,

The Ping service in Nagios has "unknown" status which was previously OK, this 
happens after i messed up some of the files owner and accidentally change it to 
Apache. Although I restored most of the file permission back to Root, the 
problem above still appears which I suspect is due to permission. Does anybody 
have idea where to look at.

Thanks,

Re: [CentOS] RAID 1 Post Install

[Hal Martin]

Just along these lines, would it be possible for me to break RAID 1 on
the two internal drives into RAID 0 and then mirror that new RAID 0
array onto a SATA drive using RAID 1 without loosing any data?

I used JFS as the file system for the RAID 1 array, so that may have to
be changed to XFS as you cannot dynamically expand JFS to the best of my
knowledge.

Sorry for my poor english: What is the meaning of "top post"? (spanish
speaker here).

Please, don't think that I don't know how to run the commands and the
info. To do that I opened 2 gnome-terminal windows and while the dd
command was running I run the "cat /proc/cpuinfo" in the other window and
see the "cpu MHz" value to write here.

But, to allow you to convince, here is it (and more interesting values):
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor   : 0
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model   : 13
model name  : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz
stepping: 8
cpu MHz : 800.000
cache size  : 2048 KB
fdiv_bug: no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug: no
coma_bug: no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp  : yes
flags   : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca
cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe nx up est tm2
bogomips: 1597.32

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
80

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
80

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
1733000

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
1733000 1333000 1067000 80

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
centrino

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
userspace performance

(when I configure "ondemand" in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed, above appears
"ondemand" governor too, but the problem persists).

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
userspace

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
80

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
80

(and I think this last value is the problem because I can't change it with
echo "1733000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq)

And while the dd command were running I tried to put performance governor
too into scaling_governor.

I have to insist again, I think that is something that I have
misconfigured or is not working fine in gnome that do something and breaks
the cpuspeed daemon or have any type of incompatibility with it, because,
as I can remember, the cpuspeed were working fine.

I'll try the new 2.6-92.1.22 kernel too, but in the new kernel changelog
not appears to be any type of fix that affect to this.

[CentOS] Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...: Connection timed out

[Indunil Jayasooriya]

Hi ALL,

I recently withed from CentOS 3 X  server to CentOS 4.5. It works fine
other than printers.

there are many printers connected to it. We have configured the commnad

printconf

queue type is Networked UNIX (LPD)


Some times, we will be able to print , But, some times, We will NOT be
able to print.

We can ping its ip address. Even, when we can't print, We can ping its
ip address.

When we check logs , we see something like this.

[Job 888] Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...:
Connection timed out


Then, What we do is , We go to application, system setting, printing

and when we get the window, We click apply button,
Then, again, We will be able to print.

Could u pls let me know why?

But, When We used CentOS 3X, it worked fine. No problem at all.

here are rpms installed on  CentOS 3X

[r...@lwlsvr_old root]# rpm -qa |grep cups
cups-1.1.17-13.3.32
cups-libs-1.1.17-13.3.32

[r...@lwlsvr_old root]# rpm -qa |grep samba
redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-5
samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.5
samba-3.0.9-1.3E.5
samba-swat-3.0.9-1.3E.5
samba-client-3.0.9-1.3E.5



But, on CentOS 4.5 , We get issues.

here are rpms installed on  CentOS 4.5

[r...@lwlsvr ~]# rpm -qa |grep cups
hal-cups-utils-0.5.2-8
libgnomecups-0.1.12-5
cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20
cups-libs-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20

[r...@lwlsvr ~]# rpm -qa |grep samba
system-config-samba-1.2.21-1.el4.1
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11



Hope to hear form you.
