[CentOS] CentOS Beer event London

[Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann]

From Karan's blog:

A few of us are going to be getting together for drinks on the Tuesday
29th Oct 2009, everyone is welcome to come along. I'll get there for
about 18:15hrs and plan on being around till about 20:00 - Depending
on how many people are around and what the feeling is - we might nip
around to Ragam ( mostly authentic South Indian food ), a few doors
down.

There will be a demo for CentOS-5.4 as well! If there is anything
specific you might want to see, let me know a bit in advance.

The full address is :
King & Queens,
1 Foley St,
London,
W1W 6DL‎

Here [1] is a Google Street view of the place.

If you email me, I'll get back with my mobile number - although it
should be mostly easy to spot the 'CentOS Guys'.

Hope to see you there, then!

Karan + Didi

October 29th is a Thursday. Doesn't he mean September?

Hi

Why not use external eSATA/USB disks which are only connected and
powered up when required.

Very simple, very low disk usage, unlikely to fail ?
Multiple copies if required
Not power surge vulnerable
Can be stored off site

For day to day incremental backup eSATA/USB 32GB Throttle stick
Reasonably fast - in my pocket

[CentOS] IP aliases of CentOS Guests not accessible running 2.6.18-164.el5xen

[Devraj Mukherjee]

Hi all,

First of all I am posting this on two lists for a reason, because the
issue being reported by me could be because of a change delivered by a
Kernel update or due to Xen.

I have recently managed to update all Xen Guest domains running CentOS
5.3 to the latest bunch of updates + Kernel. My Xen host also runs the
same CentOS 5.3 updated to all recent packages.

The Guest images in concern had IP aliases assigned to them.
Everything worked until I ran the updates and restarted.

Since I have restarted the aliased IP addresses are no longer
accessible from the outside world, they can still be accessed from all
machines (guest virtual machines) in the subnet (ping, services like
http).

I have removed all firewall rules to test if that would have effected
it without any change (any the fact that I can access them within the
subnet proves its not the firewall).

Is there anything special I have to do to enable aliasing? May be this
is a Xen issue? I am suspecting the Xen host, but not sure how to go
about proving this.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

My Guests do run fail2ban (delivered via atrpms) and iptables
(allowing only HTTP, HTTPS and SSH) connections.

PS for obvious reasons I am not posting IP addresses and routes etc
first up, I can make that information available if required.

Re: [CentOS] libqt4-qt3support Dependency Hell

[Johnny Hughes]

Please Read the information concerning "Guidelines for CentOS Mailing
List posts" at the bottom of this link:

http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16

Specifically, it is much easier to follow a quoted e-mail on the list if
you do not "top post".

It is also better to set your e-mail client to send to the list as
"Text" and not "HTML" type.

With respect to installing RPMS ...

You CAN NOT install rpms built for one distribution on another
distribution ... let me explain why.

Linux uses "Shared Libraries" (as does Windows with .dll files).  The
point of a "Shared Library" is so that you only build the NEW things you
need for the program you are building, and you get the REST of the
information from files that are already available.

If you try to install packages built against Fedora 11 on CentOS 5 then
none of the "Shared Libraries" that the package was built against (the
versions in Fedora 11) are in CentOS 5, so it does not work.

It is sometimes possible to take Fedora "SOURCE RPMS" (a
.src.rpm) and build it on a CentOS 5 machine and then use
the resultant "Binary RPMS" on CentOS-5.

One should NEVER, EVER install "Binary RPMS" from one distribution on
another distribution ... doing will not work. The files are built
against different libraries and even if they install they will likely
not work.

As others have pointed out, there are other repositories available:

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

If what you need is not there, you will need to build it or convince
someone else to build it for you.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Sure, it is possible, if you get very lucky, to do so.  However, even if
packages install because a dependent library is available (take
/lib/libc.so.6 for example) it does not mean that they are similar
enough to work.

RHEL/CentOS glibc has dozens of patches that are different than Mandriva
or SUSE.  They also put things in and look for things from different
places than CentOS.

So, one should think long and hard before (at the very least) before
installing programs not built for/using CentOS/RHEL on CentOS.

[CentOS] Any known problems with kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64 / x86_64 / 3ware?

[mbneto]

Hi,

I have a server that is running centos 5.3 x86_64 that until last week was
running fine.   With no error messages in console and in /var/log/messages
the server simply stops responding.

After a reboot everything is fine.   The only change (that I could find) but
that was not active before the first incident/reboot was the update of the
kernel and friends.

The server (is this can help) is a intel quad core, 8GB RAM , 3 x 1TB disks
(raid mirror with 2 active / 1 spare via 3ware controller)

Any known problem with the kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64? (I am assuming that
this would be the only thing that could cause the problem due to the lack of
other messages.

Regards.

Hi

Are you using nfs4 ?

Could it be the fact that nfs4 does not work with this kernel ?

This bit me hard
Revert to the previous kernel or use nfs3

Can't you start with a single disk raid0 and expand? I think that is  
possible no? Then with a two disk raid0 add a parity disk (raid4) then  
distribute the parity for a raid5.

Of course if Linux RAID doesn't support that then it can't be done  
yet, but it would be possible.

[CentOS] rpmstrap/rpmbootstrap to boostrap CentOS 5

[Santi Saez]

Hi,

Is there any working script, similar to deboostrap, for CentOS 5?

I have found rpmstrap [1] at RPMforge.. but only works for CentOS-4, and 
appears that's out of date.

thanks!

yum --installroot ;

tends to do most of what people want with rpmstrap. Does that tick the

the other workaround is to use mock and build the chroot using that.

Is /path/to/source mounted NFS?

What happens if you run it as your own user?

You probably don't need that, as rsync will detect if files are
identical. If you use --update it means that if the file is updated on
the destination it won't be replaced with the one in the source, which
is probably not what you want if the destination is to be used as a
backup.

Can you show what "ls -la /path/to/source" shows (considering the
.dotfiles are directly under that directory)?

Do you have any error messages when you run the rsync command?

I believe those are result of a failed install of an RPM, where it had
time to unpack the files (or start unpacking them) but not to finish
writing them and renaming into the definitive names. This might have
happened if the machine crashed in the middle of an RPM install.

> I can remove it?

I believe you can, after all I don't think any applications would try
to access those files. I suggest moving them somewhere else or backing
them up just in case...

I posted the following bug to RedHat yesterday for similar symptoms
with RHEL 5.4, same kernel.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525898

I happen to have a 3ware raid card, but didn't think of it as a

[CentOS] Antispam with Postfix

[Joseph L. Casale]

I am mulling over the thought of replacing my current solution, it
works very well except for the following two issues:

1. LDAP recip verification for only one server, this gateway services multiple
domains who's directories are independent. I need to be able to verify the
various domains off of independent servers.

2. I use backup mx's, my current solution probably could work in this scenario 
but
the support mechanism behind it is *very* weak and I can't get a perfect setup
working. Spam hits the primary for a domain, gets blocked and then tries my 
secondary
which sometimes accepts it, after which the primary always accepts from the 
secondary.

What are some setups that use Postfix which you guys are having very good 
success
with that isn't a burden to administer. The last thing I want to do is replace 
my one
single app with many:)

Thanks for any ideas!

If you have a secondary mx, it MUST have the same (if not more
aggressive) spam prevention as your primary for this exact reason.  You
also need to make sure that the secondary can reject mail for
non-existent users so you don't send backscatter when the primary
rejects the mail.

Hi

To be honest there isn't much to elaborate. I understand the goal Fedora 
project to test the latest software available. In this way, Fedora isn't 
for everyone. At least is not for your main system, but if you have a 
spare machine to install and play with it, it's probably a good idea. In 
my case, the rpmfusion NVIDIA driver didn't like my card, a Quadro NVS280.

I there are too many updates, and sometimes they crash something. I 
remember while using Fedora 10, after disappointment with F9, after an 
update, the sound stopped to work. I didn't like the idea of Thunderbird 
beta in F 12. Also, the external drives are mounted using the uuid(?) 
name, so instead of /media/disk, appears something like 
/media/88299233ddd22, which breaks my backup/recover script. And a few 
other thinks. My general option was that the experience wasn't good, or 
put in another way, Ubuntu works better.

None of this is critical, but it is annoying. For me, a good 
distribuition would be something seating between Fedora and CentOS. In 
the last months I started thinking that Ubuntu feel this gap. I still 
believe that CentOS is best option for servers and technical 
workstations, but not for my laptop, a Dell XPS M1530.

Thats my thought as well.  Ubuntu desktop and CentOS for servers.
Just wandering if anyone is using the 'Ubuntu Server Edition's'?  They
seem appealing but CentOS is what I am used too on servers now.
Thought about loading it up on a box to just try though.

Personally I'd just drop the secondary mx completely and let the sending 
smtp server queue the mail whenever you're offline. Makes life a lot 
simpler.

I'm not sure if it'll work with that specific updater, but maybe try:

export http_proxy="http://$USERNAME:$passw...@$proxy_address:$PORT";

I use CentOS on my desktop and my Laptop.

It is also the version I set up at the local library(1), which *used* to
have Ubuntu.  There where two main problems with Ubuntu:

1) Ubuntu really needs more frequent total updates (it is not a
long-term stable release).  The Ubuntu system that was on the local
library's server was unable to get updates (apt-get would fail -- I
ended up manually downloading packages and installing by hand (using raw
dpkg commands -- ala using raw rpm instead of yum).  

2) Ubuntu generally sucked as a server O/S -- it was trying to be way
too clever about some things -- drove me up the wall (doing *stupid*
things like constantly automounting the USB connected backup disk
whenever someone logged in and swaping the ethernet cards around,
seemingly at random).

CentOS as a desktop system (or laptop) is perfectly fine, *even for

Re: [CentOS] CentOS for non-tech user

[aurfalien]

I'd like to chime in on this.

Being techy. nothing really bugs me as I think its all POS.

However I do think the Linux desktop is not so good in general.

I've been a big fan of Irix and used to maintain it when it was the  
golden child of the Unix desktop.

I've been following the 5dwm project for a while;

http://www.maxxdesktop.com/site/

Anyways, check it out, hope ppl find it use full.  Eric Masson was  
brilliant for getting this project up and running.

Postfix can handle that. You can have multiple lookup tables/maps. They

Ubuntu for desktop is really a give and take. You get some stuff 
conveniently done for you like Nvidia drivers (which, I believe is also 
doable on Centos with a certain repo...cannot remember which) but you 
may also have to handle random crap like Network Manager not setting 
things up properly.


Centos as a desktop is good enough if you do not need the latest version 
of Firefox or other stuff.

Eric,

Thanks, that's a good suggestion to try KDE - so far I haven't figured 
out how to install it short of a complete reinstall.  If I run yom I get 
a message to the effect that a database is malformed.  It downs't say if 
the database is mine or the morrors, though.  What should I do about that ?

I hould have mentioned that I ran memtest86 after installing some new 
memory (this was before my last install of CentOS).  I let it complete 
one pass (about an hour and a half) and it found no errors.

Thanks,

[CentOS] Finally got keepass installed

[Eric Clark]

well I finally got Keepass installed on CentOS

The libraries for qt4 are actually located at pbone as well as keepass.

I would love to know how to add pbone.net as a trusted repo in Yum,

just for you guys that like to work with cross operating systems and having
a password manager.
Keepass is pretty good for all platforms and I even have it on my

No beta has been released. No ETA for a beta has been released. It
will most likely be based off of a Fedora release close to when the
Beta comes out so I would expect it to have Upstart in it. The best
way to figure out how Upstart etc works would probably be to run
Fedora 11/12 in a KVM.

I guess I can leave that part upto Postfix, but I still need a antispam
addin...

I asked on the Postfix list a while ago whether multiple LDAP server lookups
could be configured and received no response. I assumed no one had done it.
I'll just have to reserve some time to actually try it!

>Like others have already said, lose it or fix it.

Well, therein lies my trouble. With the poor support around my current product
I can't fix it (Don't know how). I had to loosen up the primary so it would stop
rejecting good mail from the secondary, it's nothing short of a proper mess, I
know. Hence the look for alternatives

I'll give a second look at sa, I haven't looked at it in a while (years) but 
remember
it being rather indepth.

Will the software be used in a commercial environment?  If not, then you
could use AVG from Grisoft:-
http://free.avg.com/download
I've used it for a couple of years now and haven't had any problems. 
Come to think of it, it hasn't found any viruses either!?!?!  Perhaps
I've been lucky, but I prefer to believe my email server is fairly good
at rejecting spam etc.

If you are using it in a commercial environment, you can purchase a
subscription server licence for Linux from them.

spamassassin via spamass-milter. Fast, no complicated smtp 
proxy/multiple queue setup needed and not as resource intensive as some 
other solutions.

I have not bothered with that list in ages. You can put multiple ldap 
table lookups directives in main.cf. Each directive has its own 
configuration. If you are not going to rewrite the recipient address, 
put the domains in the 'relay_domains' list (you can put a filename here 
and put the domains in that file) and then feed the list of ldap lookups 
to 'relay_recipient_maps'.

Eg:

relay_recipient_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/domain1.cf, 
ldap:/etc/postfix/domain2.cf
   ldap:/etc/postfix/domain3.cf 
(they do not need to be on one line but the continuation must be indented)

Each domainX.cf should have a 'domain' parameter to prevent unnecessary 
queries. Eg: domain1.cf should have a domain = domain1 entry.

Your secondary should have the same filtering setup. Also, a queueing 
secondary is absolutely useless. Just let the mails queue at their 
original servers. If they bounce due to stringent rules (one hour delay 
and boom! that's it) then let them. Better that they know the mail has 
not gone through than to think it has and wonder why there has been no 
reply for the next two/three days. People have this 'instant' concept 
about email. I would not bother with a 'secondary' anymore.

Uuid doesn't look like something I'd like to see anywhere soon on my

Thanks for the reply. As I can see from above, your opinions basically
mirror my own with respect to Fedora. 

However, my opinion is that CentOS fits almost everywhere. In fact, I'm just
finishing up a CentOS install on a Compaq Evo N610c - a portable. I've done
this before and it has worked fine with the exception where a wifi-card in
involved. This most often gives me grief.

Not using, but I've tried it in a LAMP-configuration couple of years ago.
Stability seems ok, but personally I don't like the sudo this and sudo that
and sudo everywhere. Besides, it felt somehow clunky. CentOS seemed slim,
slick and fast compared at the time, so CentOS is what I got stuck with (in
an endearing sense of course).

HTH.
