[CentOS] Wake On LAN

2009-04-27 Thread James Bensley
Hey Listees

I can not work out how to get my Dell NF500 III server to use wake on
LAN using the on board Broadcom NetExtreme II BCM5708 NIC card? I'm
running Cent OS 5.3 final (i386).

Basically, If I had windows server 2k3 installed I know that the cards
& mobo etc support WOL I would just have to tick a little box under
the NIC card properties saying "allow wake on LAN" (or words to that
affect). How can I enable WOL for my NIC card?

I have two identical servers so I have tried putting one to sleep (via
either setting the hibernate time down to 5 mins and waiting for it to
time out and hibernate or by running the following as root: echo
shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state) and waking
it up with ether-wake and WOL (an rpm package) but neither worked,
also with a windows WOL client from a windows server which I know
works as it is regularly in use but the system didn't come up. The
light is glowing green on the mobo just next to the two on board NIC's
(both are the same BCM5708's); the light is on but nobodies home?

What setting might I be missing within CentOS its self to keep the
cards alive when the power is out? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

James ;)

I don't know about your Dell, but on my HP ML110 servers, I had to add
a line to ifcfg-eth0 to make ethtool tell the LAN port to enable the
wake-on-lan function:

ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g"

You will need to take the interface down and up after adding the line.

[CentOS] ata_piix

2009-04-27 Thread Jerry Geis
Hi all

I am using cents 5.3 on a gigabyte motherboard MA78GM-US2H.
When installing centos using kickstart I get prompted to load a driver. 
I select the ata_piix driver
and everything continues as normal.

Is there a way in kickstart or the boot command prompt line to specify 
loading the ata_piix module automatically?
Why isnt the kernel loading it automatically? I dont recall having to 
ever do that before in 5.2

Thanks,

Jerry

That is very strange.  I checked this morning and I see 2.5.9 in epel,
but I'll swear that I saw 2.1.7 on Friday.  I didn't change anything, I
just did another "yum info mod_security".  I guess I'll use epel.

[CentOS] Port Forwarding woes

2009-04-27 Thread Bo Lynch
I'm having some port forwarding issues issues with iptables.
We are using iptables as a firewall with 2 nics and on ip alias.
I'm trying to port forward on the alias ip
eth0 = 65.x.x.1
eth0:1 = 65.x.x.2
eth1 = 192.168.x.x

I'm wanting to forward certain ports(80,5071...etc) that makes request on
eth0:1 IP 65.x.x.2 to forward to internal IP 192.168.x.x. I have setup the
following rules but I must be doing something wrong.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 65.x.x.2 --dport 80 -j
DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.x:80
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 65.x.x.2 --dport 5071 -j
DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.x:5071

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.x.x --dport 5071 -j ACCEPT

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

[CentOS] Reset audio controller w/o rebooting?

2009-04-27 Thread Bart Schaefer
As I mentioned on a thread about flash-plugin a few days ago, I'm
having trouble with my sound device getting "stuck" and thereby
causing problems for anything that accesses it, like video playback.

Rebooting the machine "fixes" it for a while, but it's unpredictable
for how long -- sometimes months go by without it recurring, sometimes
it happens every couple of days.  Right now I'm in one of the latter
phases.

Any suggestions on how I could reset the controller without having to
reboot?  (Or suggestions for where else I might ask this question?)
Below is output from "lshw" for the audio controller, and "lsmod" for
the sound modules that are loaded.  This is CentOS 4.7.

You do not have to reboot the machine every time it happens! Use the
System Monitor Gnome Applet to kill what ever is using it.

Further more this really seems like a Bug in the way Applications handle
killing processes. Why? I have a Client this happens to often. Exactly
the way you describe.

One idea why it affects my clients machine is it is running 4.7 and is
dog dead slow. Wait 5 minutes and the processes finally exits. In theory
it should exit when the app is closed.

[CentOS] E-Mail Serving Options

Hi All,

What are my e-mail serving options? I need to host POP, IMAP and SMTP.  
I must admit that non-windows e-mail hosting has always been a chore  
for me. I remember QMail and QPopper IIRC.

I have similar problems in CentOS 5.  I disable and enable the flash plugin in
firefox, and it seems to be corrected.  My problem may be slightly different,
but this is how I 'fix' the problem.

Unfortunately that doesn't help.  Once the machine is in this state,
then even after using "lsof" to track down all processes that are
using the sound device, and killing all of them, the *next* thing to
access the sound will play for a few seconds and then lock up.

I once got it to clear up by unloading and reloading all the
sound-related kernel modules, but that doesn't repeatably work either.

postfix is out of the box on centos. As is sendmail. But postfix is

And there's documentation aimed at beginners here on the Wiki for 
Postfix/dovecot:

Not your only choice by any means.

[CentOS] kickstart problems...

2009-04-27 Thread John Doe

Hi,

I am creating CentOS install usb keys and, apart from a few problems, it mostly 
works...
1. OT: My server HP does not seem to want to boot on it if I set the write 
protection on.
2. Anaconda tries to fetch the ks.cfg too early...  It detects sda, then 
detects the 
   RAID adapter, then re-detects sda with a "waiting for device to settle 
before scanning".
   Anaconda tries to access the ks.cfg file in the middle of this waiting.
   If, once the detection is over (just 2-3 seconds later), I retry, it works.
3. Error message "cannot mount read/write, will mount read-only" (I like to 
write protect)
4. OT: fs corruption ont he USB keys...
   I copy the iso file on the key (no error message), then compare it to the 
original and 
   some random differences appear. I noticed in the logs:
   "ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 65536"
   "ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 88678"
   "ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 3003818537, 
count = 1"
Any idea how to fix 2. and 3. ?

Thx,
JD

For some reasonably small number of users you might like the

It should, and does, work, even with an alias...

The fact you are getting connection refused suggests that the traffic is
going somewhere and responses are getting back, rather than disappearing
into a hole, which is good...
Are you sure traffic to that address is getting to your eth0 interface and
not going to another device or being blocked by your router?
Capturing traffic using tcpdump while testing would confirm this, i.e.
tcpdump -i any -n port 5071 would show packets coming in on eth0 and going
out on eth1 if everything is working, or only coming in on eth0 if something
within this box is preventing forwarding, or nothing at all which would show
that the traffic wasn't even making it to your machine...

Ok then just a question to solve my thinking. What type of machine is
this as in Brand. The one I'm see the problem on is a HP 400Mhz Celeron
254MB of ram. My thinking for my clients problem is it is a real slow
machine and the processes are taking a long time to exit. But you have
to reboot the whole machine. What is the mixer your using? You may can
try looking at the Sound Preferences Devices Tab to change the options
there to see if that will help.

Do you have ip forwarding enabled?  Does 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'
show 1 or 0?  Is there a service listening on the port you are forwarding to,
and can you get to this service from a machine on the internal network?

It will work and does for me here.

Try putting this at the beginning of your script.

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
$IPTABLES -F
$IPTABLES -F INPUT
$IPTABLES -F OUTPUT
$IPTABLES -F FORWARD
$IPTABLES -F -t mangle
$IPTABLES -F -t nat
$IPTABLES -X

Verify the alias is setup correctly with ifconfig.

'nix systems seperate email into two seperate functions, A) the message

solutions, qmail is deprecated in most circles. exim is yet another 
option, and B) the IMAP/POP services for clients to read mail, of which 
dovecot and cyrus are the two main choices nowdays, qpopper is quite 
hoary and old and deprecated.


of the two main MTAs, sendmail is considered something of a legacy, and 
if you're not already intimately familiar with it, I'd skip it 
entirely.   postfix is preferred by most everyone who's switched to it, 
and for new installs.

dovecot is probably simpler to setup and use as an imap/pop system, 
while cyrus is more flexible and complex (for instance, cyrus can use a 
SQL database for its backing store and for virtual mail users, rather 
than requiring unix accounts and flat files).


of course, as soon as you open a mail server up to incoming internet 
mail, you need to configure spam filtering or you'll be swamped.   
there's many different approaches to this, and most people end up using 
a combination of several.   razor, spamassassin, mailscanner, an 
antivirus scan if you have windows users, an RBL like zen.spamhaus.net 
to block well known spam sources, etc etc etc.

[CentOS] 5.3 on an EeePC??

2009-04-27 Thread Beartooth

I have an ASUS EeePC 701 (with 2GB of RAM and an 8 GB card), on 
which I've installed CentOS on the hard-drive-plus-card. But it can't 
even use my eth0.

   Some one on a local LUG, where I had mentioned that other OSs did fine 
with all the same exact hardware, suggested that CentOS, being designed 
for stability rather than the bleeding edge, likely lacks drivers; so I 
need to get some.

   Anybody know what drivers (for wireless as well as ethernet cable) I 
need, and how/where to get ones to fit CentOS??

Why do you want CentOS on an EeePC ? It's not really intended for
that purpose, if your having to ask where to get the drivers for it
your probably not suited for running CentOS on the EeePC. Your better
off with Fedora, or Ubuntu or something that has broader hardware
support.

I installed Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on my EeePC 2G surf yesterday(onto
a 4G SD card), it was pretty painless although the general UI has too much
eye candy, so it is choppy. The wiki says future kernel updates should
address some of the sluggishness.

I think I found the culprit but not sure if by taking this out it will be
a risk. When I remove this statement things work
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state NEW, INVALID -j DROP

If I drop the NEW it works. Should I be concerned from I security stand
point?

I have a strong if perhaps irrational preference for the .rpm 
family; I have indeed installed and run F8, F9, F10, and Eeedora on this 
machine. Unfortunately, until I can afford to replace it with a somewhat 
larger netbook, what's left of my eyeballs and fingers limits me to using 
it in waiting rooms, and not much of anywhere else.

Given that limitation, speed of boot becomes a major criterion. 
F10 (and also, believe it or not, Pupeee) took *over* ten minutes -- yes, 
real sixty-second minutes; it's not a typo -- just to boot. And then had 
to find wifi.

I've also been trying plain Ubuntu, Eeebuntu, Crunchbang, 
DreamLinux, and a couple more. 

I'll run an OS of that ilk if I have to. 

But for fifty-odd years, the Baby Boomers have trodden my heels, 
doing all I do a few years later. Some of them, even more than I, will be 
wanting a mature RedHat-type OS, well back from the bleeding edge, to 
enable them to check their email, etc., rather than thumb antediluvian 
magazines in waiting rooms.

What's more, CentOS will be able to oblige them, once it gets up 
to something like present Fedora kernels. Why not a little sooner?

And just in case, do please tell me where to get this ultra-
exemplary netbook remix, which I have somehow failed to encounter. (I 
think all my Ubuntoid OSs so far are 8-based.)

I'm sure it's possible, but unless you plan not to use X, you won't
have that much space left to work with! And CentOS needs a bit of RAM
to perform well anyway.

The about to be released 1.7.3 (unstable branch) version is supposed to 
add per-user acls to control what devices you can see.  If you want to 
help test this feature, grab a copy in a few days or build from the

CentOS is going to fare better. What sort of drive does this thing have? You
may need to look into replacing that if you want faster bootup speeds and

Run /sbin/lspci and find the hardware info for your wired / wireless
device.  Then search the CentOS wiki.  For example, if you see
"AR5007EG", there is a wiki page for that:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG

If you also see "Atheros", there is a good chance that you can find
the latest driver that is available as the kernel module at the ElRepo
repository ( http://elrepo.org ).  For example, if your device
requires the atl2 driver, you can install it by (after installing the
repo):

yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-atl2

Hope this helps,

Akemi

I will have to check this, thanks.
Problem is: I don't decide about go or no-go.
Currently, we use "IP-Monitor", which is really a PITA to use and I  
get mad everytime I have to use it to add another host.

The point of that rule is to drop anything you did not handle before.
That rule is supposed to be the last one in the list of rules.

The best solution in your case is probably to move your other rules

Fedora 10 suspends/wakes properly on my Acer Aspire One

I have done much with that and posted some useful stuff on the
FedoraProject wiki page on Aspire One.

I currently have Fedora 11 (testing) installed on it and it rocks.

I am using the c5-testing repo to fetch PHP 5.2.6 and related

[CentOS] Dell mirror raid boot problems

2009-04-27 Thread Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,

I was recently given a Dell raid 386 server that had drives that had
gone bad.  I replaced the drives with a couple terrabyte sata Seagate
drives, and set up the bios for a mirrored raid configuration.

I was able to install Centos 5.2 without difficulty, but when it was
time to perform the 1st boot it went to grub instead of booting off of
one of the mirrored drives.

I could not figure out how to boot through grub, so I changed the bios
to look at both drives unmirrored.  At that point I was able to boot to
one of the drives, and the second drive was not mounted.

The raid logic is within the bios and mother board of the Dell machine.
Can any of you point me to some literature about making this system work
as a mirrored raid system.

Thanks,

--

What model Dell server is this?  Surely, this isn't a 386 (16 to 40mhz 
from circa 1989?!?) What Dell RAID controller model does it have?  
They are pretty much all called PERC something, but there are many 
generations.  Is this a true raid (controller based, with a battery 
backed write cache), or a bogus soft (fake) raid setup?  if its the 
latter, I'd set it up with linux native raid, and not use the BIOS raid 
at all

If you are using PERC, it is simply not compatible with Linux, and
should never be. It is a terrible piece of hardware. I would recommend
using dmraid.

say huh?

Admittedly I'm not up on the newer PERCs, but the older ones I've used 
were mostly LSI Logic/AMI Megaraid hardware, with Dell firmware, and 
seemed pretty damn solid to me.   These were ultra320 scsi systems, with 
hotswap drive bays, and battery backed caches.

PERCs work just fine under Linux (new and old). There are more than a few
people on this list using Dell servers (which a vast majority use PERC

reason that they wouldn't "just work".

Re: [CentOS] php-mcrypt from c5-testing is the wrong version

as i was waiting for the c5-testing repo to catch up with redhat, i went 
ahead and built my own.  i had to take the php-extras rpm and merge the 
php changes between 5.1.6 and 5.2.6 into it.  and to get mock to be happy 
i had to add the normal extras repo into the mock config so that the 
mcrypt libraries were there.

i hesitate to make my repo public, but i know it is possible to make a new 
php-mcrypt based on the upstream code.

ahhh, and at the bottom of that page, the SATA "CERC" raids are 
fake-raid and should be configured as JBOD and use linux md, ditto the 
precision workstations with various Intel ICH*R sata controllers.
