Yes indeed. The heap is using an enourmous amount of memory there. And it is all private data used by this program all by itself. The heap space is mostly used by malloc and related programs. So that points to some memory leak there. What else could use the heap besides malloc? I'm not sure here. A clock applet is of course very busy with time handling, and I guess, does use some feature to get awakened now and then to update what it is supposed to keep track of. Alarm interrrupts, sleeps etc. And malloc inside an interrupt handler could have such an effect. You could try to see if there is a correlation of that heap space size with time. Is it linear? Or does it increase more in certain situations (heavy CPU usage, heavy disk usage, when you have a VM-client running on the system at the same time,...)? I've not looked into the source code of the clock applet. Neither do I have an explanation why the problem disappears some time later, as many people have observed, and as happend on my system too. Was that due to an upgrade of some package? Or due to a different sequence of events that happen to free after the malloc in the right order?. I guess you are sure you're running all programs updated to the current 5.8 version. > top currently > shows: > >PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ SWAP CODE DATA > nFLT nDRT COMMAND > 23350 fredex16 0 240m 124m 9.9m S 0.7 3.2 1:25.71 115m 76 125m > 10 clock-applet > > note that I've enabled some other memory-related columns here.

In modern Linux, I understand, the notion of swap, as we learned it from the early days is heavily changed. I'm not sure anymore if swap here means: paged out to swap space, or reserved in swap space, or something else.

[CentOS] OpenSSL 1.0.1c for CentOS 6.3
Hi, another user on different mailing list pointed out openssl 1.0.1c from fedora 18 will work on centos 6.3, and also warned on replacing core components, and i also know as well, various other component starts to fail/stop working, like openssh, etc, if not properly pre-configured after a upgrade. Can anyone point out to a detail helpful & working article ? which will help on replacing CentOS 6.3 older 1.0.0-25 openssl with the latest+stable openssl 1.0.1c ? initially i was able to compile/load them on a different/2nd directory, and manually/directly use them. but would be very helpful if default openssl could be upgraded.

What has worked for me so far with the previous versions was a newer libstdc++ from, I think, Fedora 9 (libstdc++-4.3.0-8.x86_64.rpm). The issue with ff18 is related to nss somehow. I found some posts in a mozdev forum that make it look like ff18 is linked against nss 3.14.1 or .2 beta, but runnable against 3.14. Which is interesting because it appears to work on CentOS6, which has nss 3.13.5. The next thing I was going to try was building a shared lib from nss-3.14.1 based on the nss 3.14.5 el5 srpm, but I have a feeling this may not be enough. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

mount man page says:

Specifies the journalling mode for file data. Metadata is
always journaled. To use modes other than ordered on the root
filesystem, pass the mode to the kernel as boot parameter, e.g.

But, my understanding of the plan is that they are staying on the ESR track, so they will upgrade 10 ESR to the new ESR before mozilla EOLs the current ESR. 17.x looks like it will be the next ESR. WRT CentOS-5 specifically, we are in the middle of the 5.9 release so that 10.0.12.el5 is delayed for 1 or 2 days as it is built against 5.9 and not 5.8. Our CR repo ( http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR ) in the CentOS-5.8 tree should get the CentOS-5.9 updates in the next couple of days. That will be followed by the full release of 5.9 (including the ISOs) with a couple of weeks after that. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

In ".0.x", the "x" part is variable based on the number of security updates within the period.

Re: [CentOS] Fencing a Dell T110 II
Sorry for not having the replies, but I'd already turned on Digest mode for the list. To Joseph and John: Concerning the odd choice for a server. I don't usually pick the servers here since we sort of have a guy that does all of the ordering for us. He typically does a good job. I do scan the requirements for the machine before it's ordered. The problem here is that because this was a Dell "PowerEdge" I didn't bother looking to see what all was provided in the BMC stuff, so I can't blame anyone but myself. In this instance, "PowerEdge" is a real misleading label. And as I said, only two PEs of all their servers don't have the DRAC stuff on them. To Patrick: I had tried setting up BMC for using IPMI. Using ipmitools, I could only get stats on the local machine. I couldn't get remote stats. The setup for the BMC, using Ctrl-E during boot, always stated that there was "No Active Lan" availailbe for BMC, and I couldn't figure out where that was turned on. I could set the address, indicate that the NIC was to be shared, all parameters were specified except being able to turn on a NIC for BMC. There's only one on-board NIC, so I wasn't picking the wrong one. After further reading about this particular model of PE, I began thinking that it just wasn't available remotely and only served to warn of failures by email. If you can provide more on how you set this up, I'd like to compare my way against yours please, Patrick. Anyway, thanks for the replies. steve ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Maybe I had it installed at some time, but just "yum erase"-d it at some point. I've never even started it once on this workstation. I hate calendars (with deadlines and due dates just wooshing by). I do have the Lightning plugin in Thunderbird, just to be able to read nice formatted invites to meetings etc. And that thing marks items in my calendar. And I do remember having difficulties to install a working version of Lightning due to 32/64 bit problems at that time. I think had to install a 32 bit version of TB on my 64bit workstation to be able to use it then. But when TB 10 replaced the TB 2 (or was that TB 3?), I just trow out all of it, and installed the standard CentOS TB 10. Even the Lightning plugin works now too. Maybe that was around the time when I noticed my memory problem with the clock-applet disappeared? I not sure anymore.

I don't know anything about the mechanisms involved, but the clock-applet seemed to be aware of other stuff - and probably consumes memory in the process.

No popops by the calendar (but I do not have the memory leak problem anymore either).

The clamd and amavisd services are installed off, and have to be enabled with chkconfig ... on. Oh, also, there is a clamd.amavisd service.

[CentOS] Minimum requirements for CentOS 4,5,6
Hey everyone, I'm trying to compile a document to send out to our customers that outlines the minimum and recommended requirements to run C4, C5, and C6. Does anyone know the particulars? When we order systems, it's usually Pentium Dual Core CPU, 120GB+ Hard drive, 2GB Ram. I need the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM requirements to install and run any of the aforementioned flavors as a "basic server".

This varies by person and task tho the point it's meaningless without further clarification. Although you can install on the bare minimum in the documentation it's whether samba, NFS, LDAP, httpd, mysql, postgresql, etc are needed and the acceptable performance that will ultimately define the hardware requirements. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] IE 9 not sending digest auth info
The solution was unexpected. See below. On Tue, 23 Aug 2011, Paul Heinlein wrote: I migrated our internal wiki server last week, and some IE users aren't able to authenticate. The service is hosted by Apache using Digest authentication. It migrated from Apache 2.2.9 (Debian 5) to Apache 2.2.15 (CentOS 6). The internal hostname for the wiki server is a DNS CNAME that was repointed from one host to another during the cutover. In a normal session, 1. Client sends GET 2. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 3. Client sends GET with Authorization header 4. Server sends 200 with Authentication-Info header and page content When using IE 9 (and possibly 8, I'm still trying to track that down), 1. Client sends GET 2. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 3. Client resends GET (*without* Authorization header) 4. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 5. Etc. IE seems to be ignoring 401 and/or the WWW-Authenticate headers. Using Chrome on Windows works fine; the issues are specific to IE. Any ideas? My google-fu has failed me. This vexed me for many months. Most of my colleagues didn't mind running Chrome or Firefox, both of which worked fine, but those who had IE set as their default browser had to copy/paste links in e-mail messages rather than just click on them. I was revisiting the problem again today as a result of working on a Windows 8 system for the first time. (Yeccchhh.) I followed an unpromising link from a Google query: http://serverfault.com/questions/389514/apache-without-any-error-page One responder mentioned that IE sometimes "knows better than the server" when it comes to error pages. Hmm. Since Apache was providing a 401 Authorization Required response, I somewhat desperately commented out the ErrorDocument 401 directive in httpd.conf. And that did the trick, though not for the reasons mentioned by the poster in the link above. I'll note that our server was setup such that authentication was required for the entire virtual host (including, of course, the /error/ tree). The Apache HTML response seemed to indicate dueling 401 errors. Here's the curl output, reformatted for readability: 401 Authorization Required Authorization Required This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required. Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server ... And here's the corresponding WWW-Authenticate header, edited: WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="OUR REALM", nonce="qh...21", algorithm=MD5, domain="/", qop="auth", Digest realm="OUR REALM", nonce="qh...21", algorithm=MD5, domain="/", qop="auth" Apache was sending the header with two copies of the key-value pairs, indicated by the "Additionally, a 401 ..." paragraph in the error reply. IE was the only browser that responded badly, so it was easy to look askance at Microsoft, but the problem is certainly more subtle than I originally imagined. Once I commented out the ErrorDocument 401 directive, the second paragraph no longer showed up in curl output and the WWW-Authenicate header contained just one set of key-value pairs -- and IE worked fine. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
