Sharing as fast as I can, never seen this kind of activity before, it's like a 
shark feeding frenzy... The CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD torrent I'm seeding says 
the share ratio is 40928, and rapidly increasing. That can't possibly be 
right, can it??

Have to cap the upload speed to 25kBps during work hours, or my computer would 
be unusable. Maybe I should move this seeding to a CentOS-machine instead...

DHT is enabled over here as well.

Hi there,

there's really some traffic going on torrent-wise:

[View: main]
CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD
done 3787,1 MB Rate: 928,2 /   0,0 KB Uploaded: 142450,0 MB

[View: main]
CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD
done 4346,3 MB Rate: 194,7 /   0,0 KB Uploaded: 100310,6 MB

;)

[both have a upload limit of 2Mbps, which is sometimes hit.]

Cheers,

Timo

[CentOS] Out of sync mirror / nss error

centos.mirror.nac.net is out of sync (at least for updates)

[CentOS] Shadow passwords NOT md5'ed ?

[Frédérique Da Luene]

Hello,
I have a very weird problem on a CentOS 5.2 system. A few months ago, encrypted 
passwords in the shadow file were MD5'ed - allowing for long passwords, rather 
than only 8 characters max.
Today, passwords are 3DES'ed only. No way to find how the system reverted to 
DES-encrypting. But what's more bothersome is we cannot get the system to go 
the MD5 way again, despite all our best efforts.
Authconfig says this :

pam_unix is always enabled
 shadow passwords are enabled
 password hashing algorithm is md5

So... where to look ?
Tia,

Please don't do that. If you want to hardcode the mirror then look for a 
mirror that you "like" and use that one, but not the central CentOS 
distribution base.

Why should we list rpmforge packages in the Release Notes? exclude
subversion from base if you want to use the one from rpmforge because it
is newer - and remove gstreamer-plugins-bad, because it shares some
files with gstreamer-plugins-good from from the base repository.

There will be a fix for gstreamer-plugins-bad from rpmforge soon.

But that up there is definitely not a problem which can be solved within
CentOS.

Check /etc/sysconfig/authconfig for 

USEMD5=yes

If that is there and you still get 3DES passwords, then, ummm, check
that your /usr/bin/passwd is the one which is shipped with CentOS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, the mirror admins aren't listed anywhere are
they? I couldn't see any mention in the mirror list pages, in the mirror
status pages or on the mirror itself that suggested who the admin of that
server was... Maybe John has access to a list, but, if not, it could prove

here is a bit more trivia for those interested: the 4 main 'seeds' that

Nice, thanks! I'll try this out on a machine.

On a related sidetrack; is there any difference between the proprietary 
Nvidia-drivers and the ones from eg rpmforge?   Specifically, we use the 
proprietary Nvidia drivers on our dozen or so course computers because they 
support stereo-3D. When our former *nix-admin set this up years ago, there 
weren't anything else to use than the proprietary drivers. Hence my question.

once you have done this, DKMS will rebuild the nvidia driver module

That's dedication... I decap my bt-client after work hours (from 1700hrs to

the rpmforge driver *is* the proprietary nvidia driver. It's just nicely 
packaged in an rpm, with dkms for rebuilding when you get a new kernel.
It's also not the latest version, which may or may not be a problem for 
you. It's working well enough for a lot of people, but YMMV.

We successfully do this with many pairs of HA nodes in the same

Use a different authkey for each pair so as to avoid accidental snafus

It is EOLed. That is all fixes to 5.2 are 5.3.

So there is little choice unless you take on the whole management issue.

BTW, I had some systems that would simply NOT do an install with the 5.2 
boot CD. I HAD to install with 5.1 then upgrade them to 5.2. So I only 
recently finally pulled my local 5.1 repo.

Existing entries don't (and can't) change when you change crypt_style so 
everything should still be OK.   What happens when you add a new user 
with the system tools?

[CentOS] duplicate commands

[Melinda Odom]

Hi,

I just upgraded to CentOS 5.3 last night and see these duplicate  
commands (migration/0, migration/1) when running top -c?


Is this normal?  If not, how do I fix it to make only one command show  
up?

Pretty normal for a system with two CPUs/dual core.

geez, makes me wonder if I should even bother to leave mine running with 
a 50kbyte/sec uplink ca (thats about 500kbps)...   if I raise the cap 
much higher, it seriously throttles my home network (6Mbps in, 700k 
out)... I know, I know, I should implement some form of QoS or packet 
prioritization at my firewall.

If you can - you should. The costs of running those torrents at 100mbps 
is way too high to run over any sustained period of time ( and they are 
all offline now ). So once the first rush has spread out - the whole 
user experience is totally driven by the other users part of the deluge.

Normally, I'd keep 1 machine running from within .centos.org to make 
sure there was always atleast 1 seed for each of the torrents. And that 
machine runs only at 10mbps, for all the torrents and is also a part of 
other services within centos.org

[CentOS] 5.3 Update Success

[Tim Nelson]

Greetings CentOS Team-

Since the list tends to be filled with "things don't work" and "why did you do 
it this way" and "complaint X", I thought I'd make a small deviation...

I have a production system running on a Dell Poweredge 2650 server. I simply 
ran 'yum update' and rebooted with no problems. Everything continues to work as 
rock solid as before.

So, I just wanted to say 'Thank You' to all those who put in such hard work 
into the CentOS project. The time between releases was not a problem here. If 
it was, I guess I'd just ask for a refund. :-)

Your hair will fall out and your ears will ring constantly.

You will gain weight that no amount of dieting and exercise will be able to

You will be the laughing stock of all the "cool" CentOS kids.

Hackers will infiltrate your systems and set up free porn sites.

The porn will be really lame and crappy and full of viruses and rootkits.

Look at today's announcement.  Now I don't know if the security bugs 
fixed where in the old 5.2 kernel or only in the newer 5.3 kernel, but 
it makes that point about staying current with a distro.

[CentOS] acpid events failing after first suspend

[RedShift]

Hello


I've configured acpid on my laptop to make the powerbutton hibernate the 
laptop. I modified /etc/acpid/events/power.conf with the following content:

event=PWRF
action=/usr/bin/pm-hibernate


On the first boot it works like it should, but after the laptop has resumed, 
the powerbutton doesn't respond anymore.

This is an extract from /var/log/acpid when the powerbutton responds: 

[Wed Apr  1 15:36:46 2009] client connected from 2332[0:0]
[Wed Apr  1 15:36:46 2009] 1 client rule loaded

[Wed Apr  1 18:10:47 2009] completed event "button/power PWRF 0080 0001"

After the first resume, nothing like that appears in the logs, like the 
powerbutton was never pushed.

I have acpid version 1.0.4-7.el5 installed, I did not experience this issue on 
another distro which ships with acpid 1.0.8.


Thanks,


Best regards,

[CentOS] Centos 5.3 - NetworkManager applet

[Robert Moskowitz]

So far I have upgraded 2 test laptops (no big servers or this, my main 
laptop).

I am running from local repos.  The OS repo is from downloading the isos 
and extracting them.  The Update repo I get with an rsync command.

On both laptops, the update ends with a dialog panel (oh, I am using gnome):

The NetworkManager applet caould not find some required resources.  It 
cannot continue.

I don't see anything in /var/log/messages that might shed light on this.

On both these systems, I have the NetworkManager deamon disabled.  I was 
able to start it in a terminal window with the services command and it 
seems to have worked; I see the icon on the system tray.

Meanwhile, going through messages I see a message at the end of the 
bootup about nm-system-settings about loading plugin ifcfg-rh.

First it parses ifcfg-lo and then notifies that it is ignoring the 
loopback device config.  It then goes on to read ifcfg-eth0 (which is 
set for ONBOOT=no, so nothing more happens).

So is this dialog a 'bug' or just an artifact of upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3?

All of my servers use C5.2 as OpenVZ HN
I use vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.2 kernel
All containers are C5.2
Upgrading may not be possible/feasible

I agree. I've only updated one server so far (the backup server, which 
is completely subservient to my will -- unlike development servers 
with real live users who might complain), but it went very smoothly. 
Thank you very, very much!

Updated 4 desktops (kde), 5 servers (one httpd, one postgres (pgdg),
one nfsd (not yet rebooted), two aimed at cluster testing). Everything
went fine.
Still have a couple servers to do.

[CentOS] EXT4 root fails for kickstart

There must be an upgrade path for OpenVZ systems, you just have to take more

Probably a problem with an update to wpa_supplicant not being pulled in. See

Isn't ext4 renamed to ext4dev in the preview? Or is that just the userspace

Aren't these speeds a relative notion, ie. dependent on where you are as a 
peer?

I mean, I have a 100Mbps link to my local LAN, which is connected via a 2Gbps 
optical cables to my national center, which in turn has several uplinks of 
various bandwidth (from 32Mbps to 10Gbps) connected to surrounding countries. 
>From there on I don't know. So how can I be sure that for example someone on 
the other side of the planet can utilize my whole bandwidth?

Of course, we can initiate some peer-to-peer data transfer and measure the 
actual speed, but isn't the terminology "100Mbps to outside world" a little 
bit undefined in general? Because not all parts of "outside world" may always 
have greater bandwidth than my uplink?

Is there maybe some web site with a planet-wide topology of the internet, 
along with actual bandwidths of all the links, so one can estimate the 
transfer speed between two arbitrary points on the globe?

FWIW, tommorow I'll use torrent to download the dvd iso's for CentOS 5.3 
(32bit and 64bit archs), and I can leave them seeded 24/7 for an undefinite 
time in the future, cca 3 years at least, or maybe untill 5.4 appears. If 
anyone can pull 100Mbps from me, I'll be glad to help the community. It's 
only that I am not so sure that it is well defined to say "I have an 100Mbps 
uplink". Uplink to my nearest neighbor, yes, but further than that...

[CentOS] filesystem rpm fails when /home is NFS mounted

I confirm this is present in 5.3 where /home is an NFS mount, 
and that I missed it in testing.  A workaround is:

1. Boot into single user node.
2. run: /sbin/service network start
3. run: yum -y update filesystem

If your system emitted the warning, but did not 'bail', it is 
safe to retieve the rpm locally, and to run:

# rpm -Uvh filesystem*rpm --force

as there are no scripts in play:

[herr...@centos-5 ~]$ sudo rpm -q --scripts filesystem
[herr...@centos-5 ~]$

The cause is the NFS root_squash being in effect when a NFS 
overmount is on a mountpoint, it seems.  /home happens to 
express it

It seems Paul and I are the last two users of NFS mounted 
/home left.

[CentOS] [OT] Godaddy hell...

[Jason Pyeron]

Can I get some recommendations:

We are looking for a hosting provider (other than godaddy) with  

1: SLA
2: SSH access
3: subversion/rsync or the ability to install binaries / compile source.

Would like them to include http/https and email.

Any suggestions?

I have /home exported and ran the upgrade from this laptop over the network, 
where that directory is mounted and displayed in a folderview under KDE4.  I 
had no problems whatsoever.  Is this the sort of situation you mean?

It ain't so.

I've got 7 machines here with NFSed /home (and the same problem with the 
filesystem rpm).

Should I implement the workaround suggested by Russ for each machine, or 
will a fixed rpm come along eventually? (I'm not impatient!)

The ISP's that sell you your uplink are supposed to take care of 
actually having sufficient bandwidth to their peers.

yes, which is why I said all these machines were locaed inside hosting 
DC's - which normally have good connectivity. One on the East coast US, 
one on the West Coast, one in Germany, one in London and the rest coming 
on at diff places.

What makes a major difference however is when there are a lot of people, 
even with lesser speeds, seeding at the same time.

I just kicked everyone off, killed all apps with open file descriptors 
on /home, umounted /home, upgraded the rpm, then re-mounted /home. 
That worked just fine.

godaddy is a registrar, not a hosting service.they pretend to be the

I've been very happy with http://www.bluehost.com
They offer ssh, rsync, SSL, and seem to have a compiler installed.  Very
responsive service.  I've been using them for 15 months without a
single complaint of problem.

I have no affiliation with this company - just a client.

Not sure about https - but I think so.  Email support includes

Thinking of analogies, if one person throws a small stone at you, maybe
you get a small bruise at worst. If a thousand do it at the same time
you *die*, likely.

That is to say, thousands throwing packets your way all at once tend to
negate a single-point bottleneck existing between you and any specific

I'm currently using linode.
I have CentOS running in a xen there.

My site is small low traffic, I can't vouch for how well it works in 
high traffic sites, but it is really nice to have full control.

You probably will have some updating to do - the only CentOS image 
available when I signed up was 5.0 but it yum updates no problem.

now is a good time to point out that given X number of hosting

ones that dont :) and you can find a list of a few of these people who

The way I read it was their /home was mounted on NFS, not just exported.

But with bittorrent, one person doesn't use all of your bandwidth. Hundreds of
users are each using a small percentage of it. So if you have 100 peers
accessing 100 different slices of the torrent at 1 mb each, there goes the
whole 100 mb.

I have used godaddy for hosting my e-commerce site for years.  You probably
need to go with one of their shared servers or dedicated servers.  You won't
get what you need in a hosting plan.

Had I yum updated on my desktop computer I believe everything would have
been fine (as it was on my laptop). But I tried the Update path from the DVD
first, without doing any preparation or reading and, though it booted fine,
a lot of my programs failed -- even Firefox until I ran yum update.
Fortunately I had backed everything up -- and I had a couple issues that
made a clean install a good idea anyhow. The clean install went flawlessly.

Only thing... I tried to like the new wallpaper, but eventually Googled and
found the old version. I just like the plain CentOS 5 wallpaper better.
(Yeah, I'm bland.)

Thanks to everyone.

I strongly agree with  Karanbir that it would be preferable to be on a
Server with CentOS. Both of my sites are on Shared servers at OLM. You
can also look on   and get a lot of
information in the forums. At least one person on this list has a
Dedicated server at OLM and is happy with it. As I write this, I can't
remember his name.

You can check out 000Webhost (www.000webhost.com)

I don't know if they have everything you need, but they do provide SSH
access with their Premium (paid) service ($4.84 a month). I've signed up for
their free hosting and it works well, I can't vouch for their paid service.

One that my brother and I have used for a long time is 34SP (www.34sp.com).
They started in the United States but moved to England, but have great
service. They specifically mention rsynch in their business plan, but
there's no specific mention of ssh -- so you would have to ask. (Again, our
needs are more of the hobbyist type.)

We had some issue with GoDaddy, can't remember exactly what it was now (I
think they wanted more control), so we went with Dotster via ZoneEdit (
www.ZoneEdit.com). ZoneEdit is a nice tool -- gives you more control over
your domain name -- and free for small "hobbyist" web builders.

amusing. There is no such thing as the "best", only the best fit to your
needs.

For a start, what front end do you want? gnome, kde, tcl, cli, cli with
curses, web based? Do you want it to disappear in your system tray? do
you want to feed it into screen so you can log back into it at work and
review its status? do you want to have the status pasted in a section
of conky?

Anybody who tells you what is "best" is just telling you their
favourite, which is almost always useless information.

I use the standard torrent client in EPEL via a shell script.

mkdir /src/torrent/{active,nonactive}

(owned by my standard user)

this shell script in ~/bin

#!/bin/bash
# ~/bin/bt.sh
[ -f /tmp/lock_bt ] && exit 0
[ -f ~/lock_bt ] && exit 0
running="`/bin/ps aux |/bin/grep launchmany |/bin/grep "python" |wc -l`"
if [ $running -lt 1 ]; then
pushd /srv/torrent > /dev/null 2>&1
/bin/date >> date.log
nohup /usr/bin/launchmany-console active/ > torrent.log &
popd > /dev/null 2>&1
fi

-=-
Then I have this in my crontab:

02,07,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,45,47,52,57 * * * * sh /home/mpeters/bin/bt.sh

Every 5 minutes it runs - and does nothing if already running.
When I want to start a new torrent - I just throw the torrent in 
/srv/torrent/active/

When I no longer want to run that torrent - I move the .torrent file 
into /srv/torrent/nonactive

Works well except there seems to be a memory leak in the EPEL torrent 
client - sometimes the system becomes sluggish and cpu usage spikes. 
Killing the client returns the system to zippy - and it automagically 
starts again within 5 minutes.

I may modify the above script to kill the client when the system load 
average is high - as that will take care of the leak problem for me and 
prevent it from running when I'm intentionally pounding the system.

Anyway - that has worked swell for me for years, other than the memory 
leak issue.

When I want to see the progress of a torrent -

tail -f /src/torrent/torrent.log

That file can get rather large, but it is wiped clean whenever the 
client is started.

Absolutely true.

For a GUI, ktorrent scratches my itch. Persists indefinitely -- across 
power failures, reboots, etc.; provides many stats.
 From rpmforge:   ktorrent-2.2.1-1.el5.rf
For a curses solution, I like bittorrent-curses from the 
bittorrent-4.4.0-1.el5.rf package -- also from rpmforge.

But as Spiro pointed out, it's all a matter of personal preference.

Depends on your preferences. Being an old cli guy, I like rtorrent. I
currently have on my CentOS 4.7 box

   rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el4.rf
   libtorrent-0.12.0-1.el4.rf

from rpmforge. Be warned: on CentOS 4, libtorrent 0.12.4 did not work
properly. I would not accept keyboard input. I've posted about this to
the rpmforge list and am awaiting a reply. When I put the old one back
in, all was good.

I don't run it on my 5.2/3 box, so I can't help there.

I had a problem with /mnt or /media too with a mounted ISO. Had to 
umount the ISO before filesystem rpm can be updated. This happened when 
I yum update to RHEL 5.3 recently.

The release notes talk about:

In the spec file of NetworkManager-0.7.0-3.el5
Requires: wpa_supplicant >= 0.5.7-21
should be
Requires: wpa_supplicant >= 1:0.5.7-21

But what I see being updated is:

1:0.5.10-8.el5


So at a guess, I'd say that wpa_supplicant has been updated since this 
release note, and that the spec file is still wrong.  But wpa_supplicant 
IS being updated, ergo this is just an install process error.

Thanks Ralph.

 I confirm this is present in 5.3 where /home is an NFS mount,
 and that I missed it in testing.  A workaround is:

 1. Boot into single user node.
 2. run: /sbin/service network start
 3. run: yum -y update filesystem

 If your system emitted the warning, but did not 'bail', it is
 safe to retieve the rpm locally, and to run:

 # rpm -Uvh filesystem*rpm --force

 as there are no scripts in play:

 [herr...@centos-5 ~]$ sudo rpm -q --scripts filesystem
 [herr...@centos-5 ~]$

 The cause is the NFS root_squash being in effect when a NFS
 overmount is on a mountpoint, it seems.  /home happens to
 express it

 It seems Paul and I are the last two users of NFS mounted
 /home left.

My guess is a scriptlet is failing - quite possibly because an SELinux 
chcon command fails in those conditions. They probably need to change 
the chcon portion of the scriptlet to add a ||: after the command so it 
doesn't bomb out.

Someone should take a look at the spec file, add the ||: after the chcon 
(or whatever it might be) and if it allow the package to update, file a 
bug report upstream so it gets fixed in rhel svn.

I have personal experience with one of those though -- Superb.

Their name is a misnomer, unless it is used as an adverb describing bad.

I've had great service from liquidweb.com, but they aren't cheap.

Take care,

No, but if that was the problem it wouldn't have failed the same

I finally got some time to deal with this today. I tried several
more things and finally made it work by installing a BIOS update.

Sure feals nice to have that memory installed. ;)
