With the CentOS version of mysql, its typically in /var/lib/mysql and 
the mysql config file is /etc/my.cnf


after installing the mysql server with yum as ceejay explained, do...

# service mysqld start
# chkconfig mysqld on

(the first command starts the server, the second command configures the 
system so the mysql server will automatically start when rebooted)


if the server is properly running, then you'll see at least one process 
if you ...

# ps uww -C mysqld
USER   PID %CPU %MEMVSZ   RSS TTY  STAT START   TIME COMMAND
mysql 3193  0.0  1.6 136920 16608 ?Sl   Sep29   0:20

Of course, that's only going to work if the user is using bash as
their shell. But, given that proviso, that's the right way to do it.

Is anything in .bash_logout being called?

bash man:
   A  login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, or
   one started with the --login option.
   ...
   When  a  login  shell  exits, bash reads and executes commands from the
   file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.

So, if you run bash and exit, it won't be executed.
If you run bash --login and exit, it will be executed...

Also from the man:
   ~/.bash_profile
  The personal initialization file, executed for login shells
   ~/.bashrc
  The individual per-interactive-shell startup file

In gnome terminal, there is an option in the profile to force it to a login 
shell...

I'm interested in knowing why the machine isn't booting some kernels,

are now on the other side of the country, so I can't access them to
verify.

So assuming the hardware is exactly the same, and assuming there's
something in the -164 kernel that doesn't like that particular fake
raid card, then I still can't see why I can't boot the -128 kernel as
that's what the other boxes have running. :/

Spiro,
I had a similar problem with an Intel MB shifting from -53 kernel to 
newer and ended up with adding "nodmraid" to the kernel line in grub so 
I could actually use the drives. For some reason no BIOS setting would 
set the onboard fake raid into a mode that the kernel could deal with.
Suggest you do the back up and re-install with mdraid - has worked like 
a charm since I did this.

A 'trap 0' statement in the user's .profile or .bash_profile should also be 
executed as the login shell terminates.

I have local CDDB, maybe that's why I don't get popups?

  $ cat ~/.kde/share/config/k3brc
  [Cddb]
  cddb server=Http freedb.org:80
  cgi path=/~cddb/cddb.cgi
  local cddb dirs=~/.cddb/

  use local cddb query=true
  use manual cgi path=false
  use remote cddb=false

But I never inserted an audio CD, so cannot be sure...

[CentOS] Rescuing svn repo from *IDIOTS*

A moron has checked in a DVD iso into subversion.

How can I undo the damage, and make the repo a sensible size again?

yum can try do that:
svnadmin dump -r x:y repos_path>svnproject (where x:y is revisions numbers.
for y use revision before dvd)
then delete that project and exactly don't remember, but probably smth like
that:

I fully understand the grief.

Out of the top of my head you can use 'snvadmin dump' to get an
(even larger) dump of the repo as a single file.  Then feed
it to svndumpfiler to reconstruct the repo and filter out the
excess commits.  For me it worked as advertised.

> Also, is there a cunning way to get subversion to say: "Oi! Moron!
> This file is huge, you can't check it in!" ?

There are so called hooks server side that get triggered by
the check in/out/etc.  It may be possible to look at the size
of the changes and reject the operation based on thresholds.
I have never tried that, although.

Hope this helps.

I also think dump_previousrevision+delete+reload might be necessary...
I think you could maybe use a pre hook script to prevent it in the future:

Since you did not use a filtering option, the plugin is "ignored"...
One example from the man page gives:
"Limiting package lists to filtered ones"

It installed without complaining.
But, when I try to use it, it complains about a missing module:

Didn't work.  Then I ran "yum remove k3b" and I still
had the problem.  The popup top says "KsCD" and I found
an item on the menu by that name.  I checked "Cache Only"
in its configuration FWIW.  Also in Control Center ->
Peripherals -> Storage Media, I clicked "Do Nothing".
For now, the popups stopped.

Is there a way to remove KsCD?  There is no audio on the system.

Mike.

[CentOS] CentOS lists now searchable via MarkMail.org

[Monte Milanuk]

Hello,

Just thought I'd drop a note here... a short while ago I was searching 
for some info on CentOS, and having been exposed to markmail.org via the 
R-project  I went to markmail to 
do some digging. At that time, they didn't carry the CentOS lists yet, 
but after a simple request, now they do. The interface lends itself more 
to searching and drilling down after specific information than strictly 
browsing, but I thought others here might find it of use.  Please pass 
it along if you find it of value.

Here's the link:  http://centos.markmail.org/search/

HTH,

Monte

lpstat -t

also: have a look at /var/log/messages

You might want  to change the settings in /etc/cups/cups.conf to

Wow!!! I did not know about this!!!

On the Printer tab, I just restarted the printer and my print came out

Re: [CentOS] finding a memory leak - committed memory SPIKES!

[Alan McKay]

What does that coorespond to w.r.t. values in ps.

I'm doing : ps -eo sz,rssize,vsize,size

Every 5 minutes (with Munin) and totalling up each of those 4, and
graphing them.  None of them appear to be growing.   I'm only checking
the db2 processes and totalling up all db2 processes in each of those
4 areas.

I'm reasonably sure it is db2 doing it.   If I look at the full
process list with the above, these are the only processes taking any
amount of space, and this is the only thing running on this box.

But so far I think i've determined that "committed" as found in /proc
does not have any equivalent value in the process list.  Not that I
have been able to find at least.

I suppose it could be something other than db2 since this is the only
thing I'm graphing in this way.  But I'm not sure what else it would
be since I have a number of other equivalent machines and none of them
do this.

not sure what docs you are looking at - but all these things are quite 
clearly documented in the vsftpd docs and config files. Start by looking 
there.

It almost seems as if you are relying on this list to be your sysadmin 
and your sp0onfeeder.

eg. Start by indicating what docs you have looked and what is it that 
you didnt find.

Also, be considerate and dont top post. if you dont know what that means 
- go look it up

To a place where they will run on boot time. If you dont know where that 
is www.centos.org/docs/5/ and look at the sysadmin guide.

It looks, to me, that Victor is at a stage where he does not know what 
he is doing with the basic stuff - pointing him at good docs might be 
worth more than spoon-feeding.

Kscd is part of the kdemultimedia package:

[r...@mavis rj]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/kscd
kdemultimedia-3.5.4-2.fc6

You might want to worry about what else is in that package before 
tossing it:

[r...@mavis rj]# rpm -ql kdemultimedia | wc -l
1077
[r...@mavis rj]#

You might find a config option in /usr/share/config.kcfg/kscd.kcfg but 
that's an XML file.
Another thought is to rename the executable and see what havoc that 
causes or look at the spec file in the src.rpm with the idea of getting 
rid of the junk the right way.

Good luck!

Thanks, I just ran "yum remove kdemultimedia".  Since the box is
used primarily for C++ code development, and occasionally as a
web server, I have a strong feeling that I won't miss it.  If I
do, I could reinstall it.

I'm a bit rusty. It's been a couple of years since I've run my own server,
and I don't know this OS. And as we all know, each OS is different. I'm
trying to install scripts I wrote years ago to do my MySQL backups.

As for pointing me to the docs, I looked through them but couldn't make
heads or tails of them. Yes, I need to study them, but right now I just need
to get some basic things working so that I can make a little money and put
food on the table :)

I've loaded my scripts to /etc/rc.d/init.d Now how do I schedule my cron
jobs?

I'd call this a little more than a "bit rusty."
Google "crontab", or do a "man crontab" and a "man 5 crontab".
Please note you do not have to install the scripts to init.d to run them
as cron jobs.

Drop them into /etc/cron.daily (or hourly, weekly, or monthly).  Or for
a bit more control, try "crontab -e" as the user the scripts should run
under.  "man 5 crontab", for the crontab file syntax.

Well, you all pointed me to some documentation that was hardly worthy of the
name. In fact, I'd dare say that "vsftp" stands for "Very SansDocs FTP". I
googled and discovered a script for creating and adding users to vsftpd, and
how to change the doc root--stuff that should be right up front in any
documentation for an ftp server worth the name--but was unsuccessful in
finding how to point certain users to certain folders within the doc root.

I apologize. It's been several years since I ran a server and I just need to
get this server up and running. I'm unfamiliar with the OS, and each OS is
different. I'll study the docs after I get up on my feet. And yesterday was
an emergency because of my own stupidity. Everyone makes stupid mistakes,
even you guys, and everyone has emergencies, so I hope you'll be a little
understanding.

Again, I googled this. man vsftpd has virtually nothing. Googling "vsftpd
docs" gives about as much. Also tried man vsftpd.conf which was much more
useful but still didn't provide the information I need, which it seems to me
is fundamental! Perhaps I've missed something, and if I have, I apologize in
advance.

While this list exists for helping members share knowledge, it really
shouldn't be used as a substitute for google. Being rusty isn't a
valid excuse for this.

Time invested doing things right at the beginning will save you time
exponentially later. Just because YOU need to get things done now
doesn't really justify hitting the list for every little question. YOU
are the one getting paid to do the job, not us.

Cron job scheduling hasn't changed meaningfully in at least a decade.
You're far beyond the 'rusty' point here, and still not using the
documentation or google because you're in a hurry.

I personally consider this behavior to be rude to other members of the
list who legitimately need assistance.

Hi,

Take a look at the chroot_list_enable option. It enables you to specify

Please stop being rude to the members of this list.

This list is for people who are having trouble accomplishing a set
task or have a question. It is not a 'system administration by proxy'
tool because you can't be bothered to try on your own, or are to
busy/lazy to read the documentation.

You probably don't want to do your MySQL backups only at boot time.  I
think what you really need is to look at crontab's documentation. 
Unless your MySQL backup scripts themselves behave like deamons and do
their own cron-like behaviour.

There are really only two main flavors of UNIX/Linux boot
methods/schools.  The BSD school and the SYS V school.  *Most* Linux
distros (including RedHat's) favor the SYS V school: little scripts in
/etc/init.d (or /etc/rc.d/init.d, depending on the vintage), with
symlinks in /etc/rcN.d/.  The BSD school has a set of scripts for each
run level.  I *think* Slackware uses this method (just because Slackware
likes to be different).

Cron job scripts don't go in /etc/rc.d/init.d!.  You can (should!) put
them someplace else.  It does not really matter where (but should be
someplace sensable).  You schedule them using crontab -- there are TWO
manpages you should read: man 1 crontab (using the command to list or
edit a crontab file) AND man 5 crontab (format of the entries in the
file).  Read *both* pages carefully.

If you want a appliance-like distribution that does this out of the box, 
look at SME server from www.contribs.org.  Otherwise, look at MimeDefang 
and clamav for filtering (both in rpmforge), and horde or squirrelmail.

Seams to work for me. Sorry

Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror

What happens when you start python manually and try to "import time"
for example. Maybe have a look at the file

/usr/lib/yum-plugins/changelog.pyc

if you know programing this should make sense.

Hope this helped.

I use squirrelmail.  Never used horde.

Having said that, I see a lot more automated bot attacks against horde* in my
logs than I see against squirrelmail.  So in the absence of any other measure
of security, horde is getting attacked more than squirrelmail.

Again, I know nothing whatsoever about horde other than that.  But it's a point
I believe worthy of consideration.

Probably because horde is much more popular. Horde does so much more
than squirrelmail it hardly warrants comparison.

Meh.  Squirrelmail does what it's intended to do.  Perhaps the additional

of course... that's what happens when you have a larger array of
services but that's not why the attacks. The attacks are largely to
exploit PHP weaknesses.

I missed the early part so I am not sure what is "Serious"
in this so excuse me for arriving late but it all appears 
normal and natural to me.

Python programs are of two types.Text files that are interpreted
at runtime  and have a first line that specifies the interpreter: 
   #!  /usr/bin/python
and bytecode python programs.

A text file in DOS mode because the "#!" interpreter fails.
If there is no white space after python the error makes more
sense:
   $ ./bar.py
   bash: ./bar.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

If there is white space after the n in python in the #! escape line
the error is less clear.

The script with  DOS mode or unix mode new line conventions can be 
compiled to python byte code or just executed with python.
$ python ./bar.py
Hello
And compiled.
$ ls -l bar*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bob bob 36 2009-11-13 20:25 bar.py

$ py_compilefiles bar.py
Compiling bar.py ...

$ ls -l bar*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bob bob  36 2009-11-13 20:25 bar.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 bob bob 108 2009-11-13 20:29 bar.pyc

$ chmod +x bar.pyc

$ ./bar.pyc
Hello

$ file ./bar.pyc
./bar.pyc: python 2.6 byte-compiled

Since the #! escape  for /usr/bin/python is seen in the 
text of the script by "file" it "corretly" notices that
this is a python script.  I say "correctly" because the
python interpreter and compiler has no trouble with it.

Yes real.
But they have not patented sudo but a twist on it.

As best I can tell they have solved one of the things I hate about WindowZ
security.  It is that it is opaque.   This twist opens some windows of
information to the user when  privledge change is needed. i.e. and hints
what account/ password to type and has the data and authentication methods
to get there.

The patent was filed in 2004 or so so ya got to reach back into 
the way back machine if you are going to find prior art.

The best place to look is in retail software and the data base 
world perhaps banking software.   

If I understand it... this system has it all and I have 
seen it in action for years...
Retail,
Login
   enter coat #SKU12345
   price $1234567.00
Customer has a coupon to get the coat for $5.00
   enter price override #SKU12345 to $5.00 one time
   Bzzz- call manager override and approval required
   manger pass word ** entered
Customer pays $5.00 and checks out.

A common view of an operating system is a data base engine
that manages data including authentication.   The data base
folk have been doing this for decades.  I fail to see
anything new here.   

Anyhow this was posted on /. and discussed in depth and to death.

Pan is very strong with binary news. 
  Choose your NZB file from a site like www.binsearch.info

then call Pan from a prompt 
   $pan -nzb file.nzb -o ./

it opens a window dedicated to this download with all the parts
listed in the NZB. You can eliminate some of the PAR2 parity files if you want.

Once all the desired PAR and rar parts are down, then do a parity check
   $par2 v filename.par2

I've got PAR2 here   
http://www.tlviewer.org/centos/5/i386/repodata/repoview/par2-0-0.4-5.9.html

Now extract
   $unrar x filename..part01.rar

UNRAR is in rpmforge

[CentOS] php config security concern for c5

[Joe Pruett]

a recent post on bugtraq hilighted an issue with how upstream has 
configured apache to invoke php, namely using addhandler, which has the 
behavior of matching the extension anywhere in the file.  this means 
that foo.php.jpg will be run as php.  where this becomes an issue is web 
apps that allow uploads into the webspace for images, pdfs, etc.  if the 
app assumes that anything.jpg is safe, this addhandler feature will 
surprise it.

a fix is to replace two lines in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf:

AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

with:


SetHandler php5-script
ForceType text/html



i have reported this upstream.  hopefully they will see it as a problem 
and address it.
