[CentOS] launch a iptables + tc at power on

2012-07-16 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby 
Hi all

I have a QoS script involving "iptables" and "tc" that I would like to 
run after "eth0" and "eth1" come up.

I thought about some "POST_UP_SCRIPT=" or similar
in /etc/sysconfig/network (or ifcfg-ethX)

As I document, I found that http://goo.gl/jWoPn
According to these, I have to create (if they does not exist):
- /sbin/ifup-pre-local
- /sbin/ifup-local

It sounds a bit wild to me to have to tweak in /sbin for that, I really 
expected something in /etc/sysconfig/**

Would you know if there is a way configure what I want?

[CentOS] CentOS 6.3 usb key...

2012-07-16 Thread John Doe 
Hi,

I upgraded my USB install keys (as per wiki) to 6.3 and now it freezes during 
the boot...
It displays the boot.msg content, plus "boot:" (from ldlinux.sys); but it 
freezes after that, before displaying the syslinux.cfg menu...

Anyone else having such problem, or an idea of what is going on...?
For information, I make my keys using syslinux 3.82 on a CentOS 5.8.


Thx,
JD

Thanks for that William, I'll check that out soon.

Hi Reindl.

I install it but delay using it untill I decide to activate 
it myself.

This is part of my grub.conf file Reindl:

default=1

# comment this out to skip the countdown screen
# and go straight to the GRUB boot menu and stop there.
# timeout=300

splashimage=(hd0,13)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu

title Initial CentOS 5.5 DVD kernel (vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5)
 root (hd0,1)
 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=LABEL=Centos-5-root
 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img

title CentOS 5.8 system (vmlinuz-2.6.18-308.11.1.el5)
 root (hd0,1)
 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-308.11.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=Centos-5-root
 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-308.11.1.el5.img

The timeout is disabled so I can select which kernel to 
boot myself, after updating grub.conf.

I kept the details for the Centos DVD kernel so I can use my 
own grub.conf file if I needed to do a fresh installation of 
Centos.

Kind Regards,

Keith

Solved by updating syslinux (in my case, 4.05 from rfx) on my CentOS 5.8...

What *is* mounted as /? If you've booted off, say, a USB key, or CD, that
might be seen as sda, and the real h/d is sdb.

First, if your source layout is typical, you might have been able to
use the free VMware Converter tool to clone to ESXi (or an image)
directly.   Most of my linux boxes have a custom raid layout and don't
work so I don't have much linux experience with it, but it works great
with windows.

Another approach is to do a minimal install, upgrade the kernel to
match the source machine, then blow away everything but the /boot
partition and copy over from the source.  This gets grub installed and
the right kernel modules in the ramdisk to match the new hardware -
and you can look at /etc/modprobe.conf to see what those modules are
if you don't know as much as anaconda does about hardware and modules.

But, starting from what you have, stage 1.5 is still in the MBR so it
seems odd that you have enough to boot at all but are missing that
part.I'd try booting in rescue mode, running grub and:
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
quit

I also have SELinux turned off.

Maybe I have misunderstood the purpose of this program?
I'm not clear what you are measuring.
Are you running a web-server on this computer?
What command exactly would be given on a remote browser?

[CentOS] timeout vs. winexe

2012-07-16 Thread Les Mikesell 
I use the winexe (a samba-based tool like psexec) to run a command
remotely on windows targets.  The problem is, sometimes it hangs until
interrupted and I'd like to put it in a cron job.   So I added a
'timeout 80' on the command line that starts a shell script that
invokes winexe with the needed parameters.  This does prevent the
hang, but now every run takes the full 80 seconds to return where it
should average 5 or 10 seconds on a normal execution - and it seems to
trap normal interrupts until its own timeout is reached.

Timeout seems to return immediately when other commands exit.  Am I
missing something obvious that might make it wait in this scenario?

Strace show a loop of these filling the time after I think it has completed:
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 opost isig -icanon echo
...}) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGTTOU (Stopped (tty output)) @ 0 (0) ---

Re: [CentOS] installing centos 6 on an old bird

2012-07-16 Thread Tim Dunphy 
hey guys,

 sorry it took so long to get back to you. But I was finally able to do
this.

 To recap:


>Are you absolutely sure the install hangs forever?  How long is forever?
 I have noticed too that at the end of the >installation, the system seems
hung for quite some time on this package (or whatever postinstall script is
running at >the end).  I have had times when the system seemed hung but
after giving it a lot more time it would eventually >complete.

Well to give you a better idea of how I was defining "forever", I attempted
to do this over a few days. So I would load up centos 6.2 or 6.3 to the
point I would get to the SE Linux component. And then I would go out for
lunch, do some errands and come back to it 4 or 5 hours later. That to me
would constitute a 'forever'. :)

>Rip all the RPM files from the DVD.  Then share that directory on NFS
>and install from that.  Leave out the problematic RPMs from the directory.

Tried that too.. ultimately the install complained about
selinux-policy-targeted not being there and would refuse to proceed. So,
back to the drawing board.

>Tim didn't detail the amount of RAM he had (to the best of my
recollection) but my machine of that same age has >4GB, so RAM wasn't an
issue here, at least not for the selinux piece.

To answer this question - 8 GB :)

>Have you tried using the minimal install iso?  It will fit on a CD.

Bingo! That was it. Thank you list! You guys rock. Always appreciate your
advice.

Best,
Tim

The main reason for the switch to LO from OO is Oracle Corporation's
buyout of Sun.  Shortly after that event the principal developers of
OO left that project and forked LibreOffice.  Oracle went through some
handwaving exercise about being committed to open source but
development of OO stalled, either by design or neglect.  Evential
Oracle turned OO over to Apache.org but by then a large portion of the
OO audience had already switched to LO and never looked back.

OO has had its first release since being adopted by the Apache
Foundation but that release did not support any form of English other
than en_US.  I do not know what other language packs are available
now.

Since Oracle is now out of the picture it is possible that LO and OO
may again merge into a single project, eventually.  On the other hand,
maybe not.

This rumour is almost certainly unfounded.  I report the odd bug to RH
through Bugzilla and I have always had a timely acknowledgement and as
far as I can tell they have either been rejected or accepted within a
reasonably short time.  Some of them have actually been fixed.

Hi Mark.

Thanks for your input.
When I chroot to /mnt/sysimage the only hard drive listed is sda. Both
from "linux rescue"
 and chroot mount reflects the same drive / partition mapping  :
Rescue :
/dev/sda2 on /mnt/sysimage type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sysimage/boot type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)

Chroot :
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,defaults)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,defaults)

Thanks

Hi Les.

I started with VMware standalone converter 4.3 and the 5.0 and
couldn't get it to work, but it worked fine when converting another
machine to the same ESXi host.

Following these instructions :
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage/boot
mount -t none /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev -o bind
chroot /mnt/sysimage/boot
mount /proc
mount /sys

then

root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
quit

I get the following:
root (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
setup (hd0)
  Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
  Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

Error 2: Bad file or directory
quit

I have checked that the stage1 file is in /boot/grub/ So Im confused.

Thanks

My previous advice was nonsense; sorry. :-(

This, however, should work:

(as root)

mount --bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/sysimage/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sysimage/sys
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda

Not sure you need  any of that if your boot/rescue environment has grub.

Either your rsync copy of the boot filesystem was not complete, or
what grub thinks is (hd0,1) is not the filesystem where you put it.

Hi Les.

Just to clarify my understanding of grub's syntax for hard disk partitions
/dev/sda = hd0
/dev/sda1 = hd0,0
/dev/sda2 = hd0,1

Thanks

[CentOS] probleme rpm roundcubemail-0.7.2-2.el6.noarch force ssl fail

2012-07-16 Thread fakessh 

hello guys
hello master of holy bible of centos

I am having problems with the package for EPEL roundcubemail centos 6
options for config roundcubemail to force SSL connections not working

// enforce connections over https
// with this option enabled, all non-secure connections will be 
redirected.
// set the port for the ssl connection as value of this option if it 
differs from the default 443
$rcmail_config['force_https'] = true;

// tell PHP that it should work as under secure connection
// even if it doesn't recognize it as secure ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] is not 
set)
// e.g. when you're running Roundcube behind a https proxy
$rcmail_config['use_https'] = true;


this option not work

please maybe a fix

Normally yes, but grub may have its own idea about what bios will
consider to be hd0.  You can force it with:
device (hd0) /dev/sda

> /dev/sda1 = hd0,0
> /dev/sda2 = hd0,1

Yes, you probably really need
root (hd0,0) instead the  (hd0,1)  I said earlier.

to run the ssl redirect I have been obliged to add this to the config 
file roundcubemail

~]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/roundcubemail.conf
#
# Round Cube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client
#

Alias /roundcubemail /usr/share/roundcubemail
