Increase the scan frequency of your monitor maybe? I've seen this in lists
generally with thousands of entries and the gfx-card can't keep up. Most
often upping the scan frequency solved this issue. I've also seen this on
computers that are a bit, ummm, underpowered. ;-) 

If you have an Nvidia gfx-card, try installing the proprietary drivers, or
(recommended) dkms and the dkms-Nvidia*-package.

YMMV.

[CentOS] can't access remote Windows 2008 desktop via Krdc / Remote Desktop

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi all,

Does anyone know why CentOS 5.+3 + latest KDE won't connect to a
Windows 2008 server via Remote Desktop, yet it will work on a Windows
2003 server?

I can easily connect to a Windows 2003 server, using rdp:/196.34.x.x
and login and use the Windows 2003 server.

But when I try the same with a Widows 2008 server, it just fails. I
see if connecting, and then it "dies" without even displaying me the
login screen.

Is there something else I need todo to make it work?

You need to use latest version of rdesktop from rdesktop.sf.net to use 
it with windows 2008. Also, rpmforge has latest version packaged ...

[CentOS] OT: rebuild kmod rpm package from src.rpm

[carlopmart]

Hi all,

  I would like to rebuild a kmod.src.rpm package for a specific kernel. 
When I try to do it, this message appears:

Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
error: Failed build dependencies:
  kernel-xen-devel-i686 = 2.6.18-98.el5 is needed by 
mymodule-kmod-0.1.5-2.i686
 kernel-PAE-devel-i686 = 2.6.18-98.el5 is needed by 
mymodule-kmod-0.1.5-2.i686.

  Is it possible to rebuild kmod.src.package only for certain kernel?? i 
don't need to rebuild this module for kernel-xen or kernel-PAE only for 
kernel-i686 ...

  Thanks.

Never done this for kmods, but I would try rpm -ivh the srpm, then edit 
the SPEC file to keep only the i686 stuff.
then rpmbuild -ba your new specfile.
This should be done as a regular user, see
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

Somewhere in your spec file there is a kvariant defined, looks like this

edit these lines to your needs
in your case I would change it to this and it should work

yeah, I can do that and did it now. And I did it last time with perl-DBI.
However, the versionlock plugin should be the "right way" to do this. If it 
worked. Either I'm doing somethign wrong or there are bugs. That's what I want 
to find out. Some for the --allowdowngrade. If it doesn't work it has to be 
fixed. If nobody can give me working examples I'm going to bug both issues once 
I have time.

It seems that exclude excludes the packages also for dependancy resolution, so 
that they appear to not being installed.
And I'm hitting now more problems in this direction.
After excluding rrdtool I get
Error: Package tuple ('perl-DBD-mysql', 'i386', '0', '4.011', '1.el5.rf') could 
not be found in packagesack

that is a package that obsoleted the base perl-DBD-MySQL (note the different 
capitatization) without warning sometime last year. I went back to the base 
version and added the obsoletes checking to priorities.conf. All was well for 
some time. But now it starts to complain out of the blue.
After I add it to the exclusion list
exclude=spamassassin*,perl-IO*,perl-File-Temp,rrdtool,perl-rrdtool,perl-DBD-
mysql
I get the next error:
Error: Package tuple ('perl-Date-Manip', 'noarch', '0', '5.54', '2.el5.rf') 
could not be found in packagesack

That package wasn't ever installed I think.
rpm -q --whatrequires perl-Date-Manip
no package requires perl-Date-Manip

Ah, the tuple problem is introduced by versionlock. I had removed the comment 
for follow_obsoletes = 1 so I don't get another surprise as with 
priorities.conf.
#  Uncomment this to lock out "upgrade via. obsoletes" etc. (slower)

Once I comment out follow_obsoletes from versionlock.conf I get:
 perl-Date-Manip   noarch   5.54-2.el5.rf  rpmforge   210 k
 replacing  perl-DateManip.noarch 5.44-1.2.1

So, that is doing the exact opposite of check_obsoletes in priorities.conf and 
overrides it. It doesn't do what the comment says. Nice.

Ok, versionlock is working now.
Removed the exlude and added
rrdtool-1.2.30-1.el5.rf

perl-rrdtool-1.2.30-1.el5.rf
to versionlock.list
follow-obsoletes in versionlock conf commented again.
Hope, this helps others.

[CentOS] OT: Windows Vista Tablet PC linux alternative

[Sorin Srbu]

Hi all,

I have this tabletpc one of my bosses insisted on buying. The machine runs 
Windows Vista TabletPC Edition. As it happens I have a thousand and one 
problems with this POS operating system... I think the hardware is fine 
though, so it's not that.

Would any of you guys know of some kind of linux-based alternative, 
preferrably available on or for CentOS, that can do the same 
hand-writing-on-screen-tricks as Vista Tablet does?

Please excuse this off-topic post, but the frustration with Vista runs high 
over here right now. 8-/ Mail me privately if you feel this shouldn't be 
discussed on-list but want to hint me anyway.

Thanks.

This CentOS wiki is for you:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules

Please go to section 3. Building a kernel module rpm package (kmod).
There are some example lines near the end.  This one may be of help:

"In a similar fashion, you may select which kernel-variant kmod
package(s) to build. For example:

[u...@host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --define
'kvariants ""' cifs-kmod.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log

will build just the base-kernel kmod package. "

[CentOS] How to reply to a digest

[David McGuffey]

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and
Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the
digest, the result doesn't seem to look right.  I cut/paste the proper
subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but
some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original
question and replies to be threaded.

So...what is the appropriate way to respond when one is receiving the
digest version?

It probably is to automatically split the digest into the original,
separate message as soon as it arrives, using procmail or
formail. Search for "procmail split digests" and you'll find
several explanations.

This said, I really have to ask: do whatever you like as long as you
don't break threads but... why on Earth do you use digests? Are you
with an ISP which limits how many messages you can receive per day?
That's the only valid reasons I've ever read for digests in ~15 years
of email usage...

Just curious,

[CentOS] Problems with Broadcom 4312 wireless

[David McGuffey]

I'm migrating my son's Dell laptop from Vista to CentOS 5.3.  He came
back from each of his first two years of college loaded with virii and
trojans.  This year he said "Dad, can you give me Linux?"

5.3 went onto the laptop easily and after doing some research, I applied
the guidance for getting multimedia working and got the nvidia driver
loaded.  That works great.

Last problem is with the Broadcom 4312 wireless device.  Again, did some
research and found two ways.  One was the Broadcom provided Linux
driver, and the other was the guidance on how to use fw-cutter from
linuxwireless.com.  

Had a problem getting the Broadcom driver to compile (failed with a
"define TYPEDEF_BOOL" collision that I couldn't work out). Has been many
a year since I last worked with C/C++, so I tried the other guidance to
use fw-cutter. I now have partial success. The wireless device light
comes on, and the device attempts to negotiate a connection with a
wireless firewall/switch (I control). Need help figuring out why it is
failing.  Here is some output that might help:

Been there, done that. Upgraded to a Norco DS1220 12bay e-SATA unit for
my MythTV machine. Thinking of adding a second one.

The sata_sil cards are pretty well supported by the sata_sil24 driver in
kernels >= 2.6.25, or earlier kernels with the libata patches applied.

Not that controller, but pretty similar:

[dar...@server1 ~]$ /sbin/lspci | grep RAID
01:00.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA
Raid II Controller (rev 01)

> If you have experience with an external SATA enclosure(s), what did you

As mentioned, I have a Norco DS1220[1] which has only one 'strange'
thing about it. It has 12 bays. It is wired with 2 lots of 5 drives on a
port multiplier and the 11th and 12th drive as straight e-SATA with no
port multiplier for a total of 4 e-SATA ports. I thought it would have
made more sense to put 4 on 3 multipliers or 3 on 4 multipliers, but
anyway.

What I did with mine was to use one of those PC back panel brackets that
have a couple of eSATA ports and plug into the motherboard SATA
connectors and have my boot drives on those. That way the drives are
still in the enclosure but the motherboard sees them on the on-board ports.

Darryl

Wish I could get mine around to that point. Re-installing Windows gets

Re: [CentOS] krb5kdc fails to start

[Filipe Brandenburger]

Hi,

In short term, this command should restart rpc.statd which will
probably bind to a different port:

# service nfslock restart

After that, you can restart krb5kdc and it should get its free port
(it might take some minutes if the port gets to the TIME_WAIT state).

In long term, you can add the following variable definition to
/etc/sysconfig/nfs (you will probably have to create this file):

STATD_PORT=2053

This will bind rpc.statd to a fixed port (2053 in my case).

I also used this file to fix all the other ports of NFS related daemons:

LOCKD_TCPPORT=2050
LOCKD_UDPPORT=2050
RQUOTAD_PORT=2051
MOUNTD_PORT=2052
STATD_PORT=2053
STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2054

I started them at 2050 as nfsd itself will use 2049. That way I can
allow NFS traffic through the firewall by allowing ports 2049-2054 for
both TCP and UDP in both directions.

HTH,
Filipe

[CentOS] Bind krb5kdc only to eth1 and not also to ppp0

[Olaf Mueller]

Hello,

if starting /etc/init.d/krb5kdc, kerberos binds to eth1 and the
*current* ip of ppp0.

# netstat -nap | grep :750\\b
udp0  0 91.9.220.166:7500.0.0.0:*   
   
3180/krb5kdc
udp0  0 192.168.0.1:750 0.0.0.0:*   
   
3180/krb5kdc

# netstat -nap | grep :88\\b
tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:88  0.0.0.0:*  
LISTEN  3180/krb5kdc
udp0  0 91.9.220.166:88 0.0.0.0:*   
   
3180/krb5kdc
udp0  0 192.168.0.1:88  0.0.0.0:*   
   
3180/krb5kdc

Since my internet provider changes the address of ppp0 for every 24
hours and since the last start of /etc/init.d/krb5kdc was 10 days ago
(with the last reboot of my server), kerberos still binds to the old ip
of ppp0.

How can I force krb5kdc to bind *only* to my local address 192.168.0.1
(eth1) and not to bind also to the current ip of ppp0?

Thank you!


regards
Olaf

Thanks for your suggestions Per.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell by surfing the sites,
they are applications to admin servers, you can use it to install new
packages/updates, but it doesn't have a tracking system to let you know
what was the previous version, and when it was updated.
If I'm wrong, please let me know it.

[CentOS] NAS Storage server question

[Coert Waagmeester]

Hello all,


At our office a have a server running 3 Xen domains. Mail server, etc.

I want to make this setup more redundant.

There are a few howtos on the combination of Xen, DRBD, and heartbeat.
That is probably the best way.

Another option I am looking at is a piece of shared storage,
a machine running CentOS with a large software RAID 5 array.

What is the best means of sharing the storage?
I would really like to use a combination of an iSCSI target server, and
GFS or OCFS.

But the iSCSI target server in the CentOS repos is a 'technology
preview'

Have any of you used the iSCSI target server in a production environment
yet?

Is NFS and option?

Kind regards,
Coert Waagmeester

Windows Tablet allows for using handwriting on screen and entering it more

Re: [CentOS] NAS Storage server question

[Ron Lorah]

I use NFS - stable solution, but if your looking more for redundancy, 
use the DRBD and heartbeat
solution you mentioned. I have quite a few system running this - it 
works very well. You may also
use Raid with DRBD. Sorry, I have never used iSCSI Target, looks 
interesting though.

The mentioned software by Karanbir :
cellwriter, write letter by letter and convert this to text (like the 
old palm input)
xournal, is a good replacement for onenote, but doesn't have the 
conversion handwriting to text

one more thing, if you install CentOS, you will need to add your stylus 
manually to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, for more info go to

That sounds about right. You get a textbox to write in and it will dump the
input to whatever editor you set?

Don't know about Onenote. Is that part of the text input in Vista Tablet or
something?

Nice!

This is a Fujitsu Lifebook T-series. But there is a sticker on it saying
"Penabled Wacom". It's probably the same thing as on your Toshiba.

How large?
Depending on the size, RAID6 is the better option (with >=1TB disks, the
rebuild can take longer than the statistical average time another disk
needs to fail).

If you don't already do GFS (and have been doing so for years), I'd say
you better only do it in a configuration that is either supported by
RedHat (e.g. with RHEL) or some competent 3rd-party that can help you
over the pitfalls.
Else you are on your own, with only the GFS mailinglist, yourself and
your keyboard ;-)

There are some possibly-related notes on this page in the wiki:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-ze5300_Series

Short summary: neither bcm43xx nor ndiswrapper are a perfect solution,
and you may need to blacklist the bcm43xx driver to use ndiswrapper.

That wiki entry was originally written for CentOS 5.0.  I'm currently
running 5.3 with the supplied bcm43xx driver and it has some problems
with duplicate/dropped packets so the performance is suboptimal, but
it does work.

I am starting with 4 1TB SATA disks.

With RAID 6 that will give me 2 TB right?

I've always liked the 'low-tech' way of using RAID1 in a box with 
swappable disks and keeping a spare chassis handy.  In the most common 
scenario of a single drive failure you will keep running at full speed 
and can replace the drive at your convenience. For a less likely 
motherboard or power supply failure, you move the disks to the other 
chassis and are up in the time it takes to reboot.  And if the whole 
thing melts, you can recover the data off of any single disk you have 
left.  You still need backups, of course and you need an on-site person 
to swap drives.  You could automate it a bit more with drbl and a 
heartbeat failover to keep the standby live, but that adds a lot of 
complexity and more things to go wrong.

Lanny,
the layout and appearance of old doc files are still often not perfect 
in openoffice.
Heck, doc files created with MS word version xyz often look different 
when opened with a different version of ms word!
So I wouldn't expect openoffice to render docx files perfectly for a 
while... Be happy if you can read the text ;-) .

I am really confused on what you want to do here. When you talk about a
RANGE what do you mean? Allocate more than one IPv6 address to a single
interface? 
If so, have a look at the IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES clause in the link you
included. I am not sure that you can use alias interfaces for IPv6. Put
that in the ifcfg-ethx file, not in the config for the aliases
(ifcfgx:y)

I don't think you can use alias interfaces for IPv6. It at least did not
work on my other (Fedora) box
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES on the device DOES work on Centos 5.3

I was recently soundly castigated for "messing up the list threading" by
replying to digest items by just doing a cut and paste that preserved the
subject.  Someone on the list was kind enough to point me to:

http://gmane.org

Which provides a threaded web interface for a number of mailing lists including
this one (linux.centos.general on gmane).  I've been happy with the
functionality although not being able to just hit reply takes some of the
spontaneity out of list conversations.

Cheers,

Basically you need to setup your ldap correctly, import the samba

easy), configure samba to use the ldap backend and 'voilà' ..

[CentOS] router NAT problem

[Mintairov Mikhail]

Hello All. I have a strange problem on  my router. I use a xl2tpd
program to establish a connection to the INTERNET. After I start xl2tpd
it's create a new ppp0 device with correct ip parameters, also it's add
some routes to the routing table and all this routes are correct too.
After connection with provider are establish the router exec some simple
iptables+NAT commands to give an INTERNET access to the LAN computers,
and everything was working fine for a 2 or 3 years. But now but the
local computers (192.168.127.0/24) con not establish a connection to
some web sites or to some ftp servers. However, if I try to access to
the same web sites from my router everything is good and it can access
to every web or ftp server. 

First of all I recheck router table, and it's was correct. After it I
rewrite my iptables rules (to create a simplest roles as can be)

iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.127.0/24 -j SNAT
--to-source [my internet ip]

And nothing good happen. I try to use tcpdump to understand the problem,
and not found the answer. Because there was no errors. Every packet from
192.168.127.0 iface had correct routing to ppp0 iface and after it the
SNAT change the packets source ip to [my internet ip]. So everything
looks correct, but when I try to access to some sites from router and
from 192.168.127.[some] computer the "tcpdump -n ppp0" output was not
the same.

Here the "tcpdump -i ppp0 -n" output of situation when I try to access
to one of web site from my router

As you can see the first 5 strings of those outputs are the same, but in
the second situation there are no data transferring, and after 13 second
of waiting the local computer send a FIN TCP packet (string number 6 in
second listing). 

So, maybe someone can help me with understanding of this problem,
because I don't have any ideas what can I do. I also know that router
didn't have any hardware problem, because I have try to replace this
router to another server and nothing has changed.

I'll second the smbldap-tools suggestion. Docs are online:

You can get smbldap-tools and the dozen or so non-standard perl-*.rpm

Ok, firstly, I have dropped using the alias notation and am now working solely

After doing some digging in the ifup-ipv6 and network-functions-ipv6 scripts, it
doesn't appear that IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES actually supports the X-Y notation in
the current release. I see no where that the hyphen is removed and a range is
generated. I'm not the most powerful bash scripter in the world, so I could be
wrong.

Can anyone else weigh in on the subject and provide some more insight? It would
be really nice to provision an entire range of IPv6 and not have to add them one
by one.

[CentOS] Simple AD authentication for Samba share

[The Small Box Admin]

I have a CentOS box that I'm basically using for file sharing with
Samba.  Currently I'm mapping the drive from an XP box with a Samba
username/password combination.  Is there a simple way to use AD or
Windows authentication to allow the users to map the drive without
having to use a separate username/password?  That is without having to
install LDAP and kerberos or whatever is needed to join the CentOS box
to the AD.

Thanks,
Ken

I received the Digest version, when we had dial up access to the

Re: [CentOS] IPv6 range provisioning question

Hi,

I never used IPv6, so I don't know if that applies to IPv6 too or to IPv4 only.

In IPv4 it is possible to assign a whole range to a specific machine
by adding it as an alias to the loopback interface.

For instance, if I do:

ifconfig lo:0 192.168.99.32 netmask 255.255.255.224

Then the machine will answer to all the addresses from 192.168.99.32
to 192.168.99.63. If you use a range that is in the same subnet as the
IP you have in eth0, it will respond to ARP requests in that interface
as well, so it will do exactly what you want.

I don't know if and how that would work with IPv6, but maybe try doing
that, assigning a single IP with a proper network mask to an alias of
the loopback interface and see if that works as you expect.

HTH,
Filipe

Sorry buddy,
I meant "iSCSI Enterprise Target" @ http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/
This project is fortunate enough to have the developers and some
very bright and experienced members active in the list. It was actually
one the places I started when learning Linux and received some invaluable
help from two specific people.

This is one of the few pieces of software as critical as it is, I have
gotten into the bad habit of not monitoring, it just bloody runs w/o
issue.

If you need a target, I can at least say this one is rock stable and any
issues are dealt with fast!

I know how some like to do the SNAT thing, but a simple rule will get this

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTE -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

As to your problem look at your rules with the following and ensure that the

Not using ndiswrapper.  Output of lspci -n gives 14e4:4312

I believe I'm really close.  After installing the firmware with
fw-cutter, the load complaint about not finding bcm43xx-microcode5.fw
went away.  And...the device appears to attempt negotiation with the AP.

Found another piece of guidance that the bcm43xx driver has problems
with WEP and shared key...will try open authentication and WPA/WPA2
tonight.

Thanks...

According to the guidance a linuxwireless.com the b43 driver (not
bcm43xx or b43legacy) should work with the 4312 device.

If I can't get bcm43xx and bcm43xx-microcode5.fw to work, then I may try
to install the b43 driver and blacklist bcm43xx.

It is, though it needs to be brought current with asynchronous  
notifications, persistent reservations, error recovery level 2 and  
multiple connections per session.

So if any developer wants to get their feet wet with the iSCSI  
protocol and kernel driver development please subscribe to the iSCSI  
Enterprise Target list.

Also when testing it out use the 'noop' or 'deadline' io schedulers on  
the backend target storage as there currently is a performance issue  
with the 'cfq' scheduler.

It compiles clean on most architectures.

Is there any way or option that only listen 127.0.0.1 for security reason?

 

 

Thanks in advacne.

It would be helpful if you could get the tcpdump of your internal
interface (eth0?) for a request at the same time as you get the one of
ppp0.

And even more helpful if you could get the tcpdump on the client in
your internal network that is actually doing the request.

The difference in packets seen on those three points would quickly
show where the problem seems to be...

As you said your connection script creates some static routes, it
would also help if you could send the routing table of the router.

I don't think so. NTP is an UDP protocol, and its packets have both
source and destination port 123, so the machine that is using NTP to
set its own clock (NTP "client") needs to listen on port 123 UDP to
receive the replies from the NTP "server".

> for security reason?

Look into the "restrict" commands in ntp.conf to implement security
policies on NTP. You can find information on how it works on "man
ntp_acc".

If you use a fixed list of NTP servers that have fixed IPs, you can
also use iptables to block access to port 123 UDP to all except those
hosts.

Re: [CentOS] Simple AD authentication for Samba share

It's been about 5 years that I haven't done that (and I'm in no way an
expert in Samba), but I believe you can do it by using:

security = server
password server = 

That way *all* authentication requests to your Samba will be
*forwarded* to your AD server and authenticated there (it might
increase the load of your AD). I know this used to work OK with NT
based PDCs, I don't know if it still works fine with AD or not. And I
also know that this is not the recommended method in terms of security
as it is not as robust as joining the domain.

I think it's not as hard as you make it seem... Yes, you need to
configure the Kerberos client, but it's not that hard to do, and there
are many tutorials that explain how to do it... From a quick Google
search: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_&_Active_Directory

But as I said, it's been years since I've done it... I might have
forgotten most of the details, and many of the things might have
changed since last time I've done them... You might test those above
for yourself and see if you can make it work though.

Thanks for your kind answer.

The default restrict config likes below.

 

restrict default nomodify notrap noquery


If I setup ntpd service as a client not server, above options are sufficient?

I would like to deny any ntpd query packets except reply packets from others 
because of client.

 

but it seems that other clients can query the date. 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't know, I never bothered trying to understand how that works...
I suggest you read "man ntp_acc" if you really want to implement that.
After you do, please share with us how that works! :-)

I recently got a Dell laptop that also has the dell 1395/broadcom 4312
card.  I was unable/too lazy to get the ndiswrapper thing working.

Much googling eventually turned up this blog post:
http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2008/10/03/linux-driver-available-for-dell-wireless-cards.aspx

I grabbed the tarball from:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Then I followed the directions, which amount pretty much to compiling
the kernel module and installing it.  I did this on Fedora 10, though
I think it should work with CentOS as well.
