could you try with the latest version (2:1.3-cvs.20050116-1) of nagios
out of unstable?  there were a number of cleanups and bugfixes in that
release.  otherwise, any error messages you could find in nagios.log or
the apache error log would be helpful in figuring out what's wrong.

aha, i was wondering about that.  in the online comments with the
ssl-related mysql docs, i saw numerous people mentioning issues
regarding redistributing ssl-enabled binaries.

the reason for asking this originally is i'd like to add support for
mysql+ssl to my dbconfig-common project.  anyway, if they do opt for 
gnutls support, i'd consider that sufficient for my needs.  i guess
we can just leave it as a wontfix bug until then...

could you provide a link to the forum entry?  as far as i know the
three related security holes are fixed in 0.8.6c-7sarge2, which was
uploaded to sarge's security updates branch some time ago.  are you

i recently took over this package and have taken the second
route, at least initially.  so, if you install from etch/sid
you should be able to pull in nsca w/out everything else.

in the future, i may split them into two packages, or somehow make
it more easily configurable for satellite/distributed install

so it seems the way getopt(1) handles cmdline arguments is that if
you have an argument that takes an optional argument (like -t [varname]),
then the argument must immediately follow the cmdline flag (-t[varname]).

some simple testing shows that this works, afaict.  i'll commit changes
to CVS right now to ammend the documentation.

Package: postfix-gld
Severity: wishlist

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

hi,

please consider using dbconfig-common for configuring the database-related
aspects during installation of postfix-gld.  dbconfig-common can:


* support mysql and postgresql based applications
* create databases and database users
* access local or remote databases
* upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure
* remove databases and database users
* generate config files in many formats with the database info
* import configs from packages previously managing databases on their own
* prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions
* handle failures gracefully, with an option to retry.
* do all the hard work automatically
* work for package maintainers with little effort on their part
* work for local admins with little effort on their part
* comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behaviour
* do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin
* perform all operations from within the standard flow of debian package 
maintenance (no additional skill is required of the local admin)


you can find more information about dbconfig-common (including docs and
example packages) at:

Bug#341748: ITP: nagios2 -- A host/service/network monitoring and management system

2005-12-02 Thread Sean Finney
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sean Finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

(explanation for why there needs to be a nagios2 given after the blurb)

  Package name: nagios2
  Version : 2.0 (when released)
  Upstream Author : Ethan Galstad
  URL : http://www.nagios.org/
  License : GPL
  Description : A host/service/network monitoring and management system

 Nagios is a replacement of the Netsaint project. It accept and uses the
 previous Netsaint modules transparently.
 .
 Nagios is a host/service/network monitoring and management system. It has
 the following features:
 .
 o  Monitoring of network services (via TCP port, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP,
PING, etc.)
 o  Plugin interface to allow for user-developed service checks
 o  Contact notifications when problems occur and get resolved (via email,
pager, or user-defined method)
 o  Ability to define event handlers to be run during service or host events
(for proactive problem resolution)
 o  Web output (current status, notifications, problem history, log file, etc.)
 .
 Nagios was written in C and is designed to be easy to understand and modify
 to fit your own needs.
 .
 This package contains the next-generation version of the nagios daemon.
 If you want to install nagios and do not need MySQL or PostgreSQL
 support, you should install this package.


some skeptics may be asking "why do we need a nagios2? why can't
we have just one version of nagios in debian?".  the answer is
that we in fact already have 3 different versions of nagios,
one with standard file-based support, a mysql version, and a pgsql
version (which are differentiated at compile time).

nagios2 does not currently have db support, but will very likely
through add-on modules at a future date/time.  because this
would break existing installations that use the db support,
there will be a certain period where nagios2 and nagios
co-exist in the archives.   after transitional support has
been worked out, it will replace the standard file flavor of
nagios, and as db support is added in the other two versions
will disappear as well.  In the end, i aim to have a single
"nagios" package, though it will probably take a bit for
this to materialize.

i'll shortly be importing an initial version of nagios2 into the
nagios alioth project cvs archives.  if anyone is interested in
helping maintain this (or other nagios related packages), please
contact me privately as i can always use some assistance!

i could see it as a possible benefit for multiple webapps using
the same database, yes.  iirc phpgw has a similar feature.

unfortunately, it doesn't currently.  the problem is that
dbconfig-common as it stands is agnostic to the contents
of the databases that it creates.  that is, basically, it creates
the users/databases, and then leaves it to the maintainer-provided
sql/script to create and populate the tables.  the benefit of this
is that things are much simpler and less prone to failure/bugs.  the
drawback, obviously, is that there isn't a way to do this.

however, i am open to ideas for how this could be implmented.  here's
some thoughts off the top of my head:

at the very least, dbconfig-common could hold the common debconf
template, so that multiple packages could benefit from having the text
pre-translated.  

perhaps later dbc could be extended to handle the prompting logic so
that packages needing/wanting this could set another dbc_foo variable
in the maintscripts which would trigger the extra prompting logic,
and the result could get stored in the packages' dbc config file.
it would still be the packagers' responsibility to ensure that the table
prefixes are correctly used when creating the tables, which means that
the simple sql-file install method is out and they would have to use
the script method for installing the db, but it's an improvement,
anyway. 

btw: how is phpbb currently handling this?

i think as a final step, perhaps dbc could do something like
's/create table /create table $dbc_tbl_prefix/' on static sql
files, but this seems a little fragile to me so i'd only want
to do it after being able to do the other stuff reliably... and
even then i'd still be a little anxious about it.  


what do you think?

well, if you're not able/willing to try the version in unstable, then

unfortunately, christian's out for the next week, so i can't know what

hrm, i didn't think that you could do that with tpu (uploading
a new upstream version).  my impression, and the developers'
reference seems to agree with this[1], is that tpu is only
for minimal backported fixes.

that said, if you can get someone from the release team to sign
off on such an upload, i'll happily do it when i have a chance.

this may stem from my unfamiliarity with tpu: how will the version of
5.0.16 from unstable ever make it to testing if the version in tpu is
the same?  i'm just a bit concerned because we'd have two packages with
the same version but different dependencies, which seems like a
Bad Idea in general.

i had the impression from the developers' reference that the versions must
be testing < tpu < unstable, so how would we work that out?  would we
essentially be committing to tracking a tpu branch (5.0.16etchN, which
is > unstable) until the next upstream release?

blech.  well, it could be any of the following commands in our list of CRUFT:

@echo "CRUFT BEGIN" 
@find -type l -print0 | xargs --no-run-if-empty -0 rm -v
@find -name .deps -type d -print0 | xargs --no-run-if-empty -0 rm -rfv

  strings/ctype_autoconf.c \
  config.log \
  config.cache \
  ; \
do \
  rm -vf $$i; \
done
@echo "CRUFT END"


none of these should endlessly loop.  if faulty hardware/disk is
suspect, the find jobs might be taking an extraordinary amount of
time as a result... i can see a way to optimise the cleanups on
the .deps directory (passing -prune to find) but it seems
orthogonal to the problem at hand.

is it worth uploading a new version with the "@"'s removed, or is there
some other way to investigate what's going on?

Bug#342244: mysql-dfsg-5.0: FTBFS on hppa

2005-12-06 Thread sean finney
hi -admin and -devel,

executive summary:   mysterious and unreproducible ftbfs for
mysql, and perhaps other packages on the hppa architecture.  a faulty
buildd (sarti) is suspected, but afaict all requests for information
remain unanswered.

i'm suspecting hardware problems, as for mysql this is not the first
such ftbfs[1].  originally, a similarly mysterious error occurred
where the build didn't even start because installing tetex-bin failed.
Frank Küster followed up[2] with debian-hppa as well as debian-admin
about the problem, but afaik recieved no response.

now, mysql is failing during the execution of debian/rules,
in a chunk of code doing no more than a find/xargs/rm[3].
the buildd reports that the job failed do to a lack of activity
for more than 150 minutes[4].

it would be nice if someone could comment on the matter.  looking back
in the archives for the hppa list, i see at least one other unrelated
post[5] indicating the same problem for multiple other packages, also
unanswered so far.  this mail was only sent yesterday (20051205) though.
however, the poster does point out that the failing packages build
just fine on other hppa machines.



in the meantime, i'm forwarding this on to d-d (and cc'ing d-a, but not
d-hppa as it won't do more good than what's already been done).  as much
as i hate to stoop to this level, i find often making a public fuss
about things is the quickest way to get things going, and i don't know
what else can be done.  all flames/tar/feathers can be sent my way for
having done so and i apologize for having done so if i am in fact totally
off-base on my assumptions.

i've created an etch pbuilder chroot and produced some debs:

http://people.debian.org/~seanius/mysql/etch/

i haven't verified anything about these other than the fact that they
built sucessfully, so a once-over would be appreciated.  after i've
heard back from the first brave soul to test them out that there are
no problems, i'll go ahead and send them to tpu if there are no
objections.

as steve suggested, i've given them a 5.0.16-0+etch1 version so they
will immediately upgrade to the versions currently in sid.  they
are based off of what's in svn as 5.0.16-2 but not yet released (which
is just the initial upstream release + a documentation fix).

christian: i'll follow up privately when you get back to decide
how this should be represented in svn.

hi,

i'm having this problem as well.  i get about half a MB into my download,
and the program hangs to the point that it does not repaint itself when
it gets dragged to a new desktop or something covers it temporarily.

the strange thing is it doesn't seem to have much to do with the
data that i'm downloading, as in sometimes it will hang after half
a meg, other times after a meg and half, other times it just keeps
on going for the exact same chunk of data.

interesting.  i'll have to look into why it doesn't prompt for the
password a second time, but won't have time for the next week or so.

in the meantime, be aware that you can also edit
/etc/dbconfig-common/nagios-mysql.conf, which is where the configuration
information is stored.  or, you can edit the nagios configuration
manually of course, but... that would be ruining all the fun of
an automatic system :)

that seems fairly reasonable, makes less typing for the admin
in many cases :)

> Also, what's the status on the automatic DB configuration?

i took a stab at bringing in dbconfig-common, but hit a small snag
because the credentials have to be provided in like 8 different places
with different variable names.  i think i can overcome this by either
augmenting dbconfig-common (which i also maintain) or using some
other novel hack, but haven't revisited trying to do so in a couple
months.

on a positive note, now that nagios-plugins is under pkg-nagios control
we can move the check_nagios_db plugins into the package officially,
and modify them to load credentials out of a config file, too, meaning
much cleaner and more comprehensive support once it's in place.

does simply changing the order of the tables really fix the problem?
my guess is that this has something to do with you running mysql-5.0,
which has become some stricter syntactically speaking.  i know that
upstream is aware of this and will probably be releasing patches or
a new version sometime in the near future to address this.

in any case, if it does fix the problem i have no problem applying
the patch in the meantime.

not within cacti that i know of, i find in my experience the poor error
reporting in general is one of the application's weakpoints.

unfortunately, i've rebooted since then.  fortunately, nothing
evil seemd to happen on reboot besides some cryptic message

i've noticed this problem as well in some cases, though i haven't been
able to root out the cause or reliably reproduce it myself.  i think
this is the first time i've ever had to tag something both "confirmed"
and "unreproducible" at the same time.

my hunch is that the problem is most likely being caused by some
fork/exec failure in the nagios daemon not being properly
handled while executing some plugin.  though this is only a hunch.
i'd be curious to see if we could find some more info
on the problem.

for example: when there are duplicate processes, is the older or the
newer in the pid file?  which one(s) has an open filehandle on
the nagios.cmd socket?  the next time this happens for either of us,
let's record that information.

Bug#338638: [Help] How to fix a buggy prerm script in sarge? (was: Bug#338638: tetex-base: dies when /usr/local/ read-only)

assuming that this is only a problem with removals (and not upgrades too,
in which case the problem is quite a bit more complicated), i think the
best way to fix such a package would be to work with the release managers
to make sure that a fixed version makes it into a sarge point-release
via proposed-updates.

i think you will probably get a resounding "no" from the release teams
in question, from my experience with a similar problem wrt the
woody->sarge path for mysql.

i did so before filing the bug report:

while i think your suggestion is more efficient (and lower-load in
some situations), i think the default-perfdata approach is the
most generally compatible.  if you have a parser that can read from
a named pipe, you could always make your service-perfdata command

"cat >> pipe"

which would minimize the load (not as good as it could be, but really
not that bad either).  i guess you might need a little more than
that to make sure there aren't any race conditions, but we're
still talking about a relatively small overhead for most installations.

however, if we were to go the other way with file-perfdata, there
would be no way to execute the external programs, so i chose with
features and compatibility over pure efficiency.

okay... there's a window where we could do this in the preinst of the
new packages.  christian: my intuition is that this should be done in
the preinst of the "real" package and not the transitional one... what do
you think?  also, is there an easy way to tell whether or not we need to
perform the operation in the first place, or should we always perform it?

having spent a bit of time thinking about it, it's a touch more
complicated than it may seem at first glance.  here are some
potential gotchas:

- the best/only reliable place to run this is in new.preinst.
- as a result, we can only use files/scripts that exist in the
  older version.
- this also means we can not say "we will now fail and you should
  read the contents of /usr/share/doc/foo" (though we could refer
  them to rtfm since the tfm already exists)
- mysql_convert_table requires passing sensitive data on the cmdline

given all this i think the following should cover it:

[new.preinst]
- determine list of dbs/tables containing old format, ignore if empty
- debconf prompt to determine whether to abort/fix/ignore
- if fix
- start mysql (should be stopped by old.prerm)
- issue ALTER TABLE commands manually using debian-sys-maint
  account
- if debian-sys-maint can not connect, inform the
  admin and then fall back as if "abort" had been
  chosen.
- stop mysql server


so then the only thing that's missing is the actual code, and
some debconf templates.   christian: what do you think?

could one of you guys provide me with the output from find /var/lib/mysql,
to make my testing just a bit faster?


thanks

tags 344519 unreproducible moreinfo

hi epco,

i'll need some more information if you would like to have help with
resolving this.  here are a few questions off the top of my head:

- what version of mysql?
- remote mysql server or local?
- what's in my.cnf?
- how many devices (and what kind) are you monitoring?
- have you tried the suggestions from the forum report mentioned?
- is this problem present with both cactid and cmd.php?
- what else is using the database?
- does the problem immediately happen after reboot, or only after
  running for some period of time?

i'm tagging this as moreinfo and unreproducible... if i can't find a
way to reproduce it within some period of time, i'm going to downgrade
the severity too.

hmm... that looks kind of strange... i believe it "should" be

'PURGE MASTER LOGS TO '\''mysql-bin.07'\'';'

and somehow that extra field snuck into the variable.  istr seeing
this same problem a months or two back and thought it was already

  - Applied fix for changed output format of SHOW MASTER LOGS for 
binary log rotation (thanks to Martin Krueger). Closes: #326427, #326427


perhaps you still have the old version of the cron script?
unfortunately i don't have access to the svn repository right now,
but i'll send you a copy of the the "default" version to see
if there are any differences as soon as i do, probably this
evening.  in the meantime, there has just been another update
to mysql-dfsg-4.1 that includes another binary log-related problem.
while i don't think it's the same issue, maybe upgrading will let you
know if the file has changed (giving you the standard "this file has
changed" warning), or maybe the problem will otherwise go away :)

thanks for bringing this to my attention.  i think i saw evidence that
upstream is arranging a fix for it as i saw some diffs from svn a
week ago or so where many of the queries were re-written with ()'s.

anyway, i've subscribed to the bug in question, so when they release

in the meantime, i'll consider uploading a version that explicitly

you might want to check cgi.cfg to make sure the settings in that
are also good.  for example, nagios_check_command, maybe.

my guess that 1132088447 seconds ago was the epoch when you did
the check, and that this resulted from something funny with
the status log.

check_nagios actually checks data inside the file for a timestamp, so
the fact that it has a size of zero makes me suspect this may
be the root of the problem.  might want to make sure the nagios daemon
is actually writing into there and not somewhere else.  also, might
want to make sure that /etc/init.d/nagios stop actually stops nagios,
as there seem to be spurious problems of runaway nagios processes
when restarting the daemon.

Bug#339401: [Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#339401: Inconsistent paths in init script

the init script situation has been a thorn in our side for a bit.
i just sat down and improved things a bit.  we already have a
"get_config" function, which i've simply augmented to also be able to
check cgi.cfg as well, so the issues with the named pipe and status
log locations should go away in the next upload.

nsca used to depend on nagios-plugins, which is a rather dependency

packages a little more useful) i split off the nagios-plugins
packages into two packages, one of which only having minimal
dependencies.  

each plugin (check_foo) has a conffile like you see below:

so when some plugins moved from one package to the other, so did
their conffiles.  so, this would be appropriate, then, correct?

if you feel there is a genuine problem, then i'd be happy to see it,
though i'd need some concrete recommendations on what you think should
be done to resolve the problem.

to make sure i understand the situation correctly:

if nagios-pgsql is set up so that different users are used to
connect via the nagios daemon and the web interface, there's
a problem with check_nagios_db when called from the init script
vs. when called from the web interface?

could you clarify this, and provide a concrete example of what you'd
like to see?  i have some upcoming changes to the check_nagios_db
and init script infrastructure, so hearing from you about what
you'd like to hear relatively soon might mean getting it in
rather promptly.

that seems fairly reasonable.  i don't have the time to look into the

also forward the matter upstream to the nagios development mailing list.

it seems that some wires got crossed somewhere, as #324216 was

so, i'm splitting off the bug into a new report.  i'll contact

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this 
binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly 
built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning 
hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help

wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=0

max_used_connections=0
max_connections=100
threads_connected=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections 
= 217599 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

that's a segfault.  no fun.  could you run:

is this an strace from the daemon while it was having the problem you
reported, or after you attempted the various other things you did?  it
doesn't look like it's segfaulting anymore from this trace, but instead
having some other problem.

something i'd recommend:  after making a full backup of whatever
db stuff you still have, try *purging* mysql-*, rm -rf /var/lib/mysql,
and reinstall it and see if a default empty install has this problem.
note that you can't really downgrade from 4.1 back to 4.0 without
some problems so let's keep it on 4.0 while we try to figure this out.

these could be related.  i don't have access to a UML environment, so i
can't say that i tested the latest version of mysql in there.  i
wouldn't rule that out, anyway.  by the way, are you doing anything out
of the ordinary with nsswitch?  ldap?  nis?

okay, well i won't be able to look any further into this until i can
at least see the strace, or ideally have access to a simlar system.

hmm... well i'll retitle the bug appropriately for the meantime,  maybe
it's some wierd threading issue...

i'd like to test this further, but to do so i'd need access to a similar
environment.  can i either get such access or detailed instructions on
how to set it up?  the former would be ideal, as the latter would take
more of my time and therefore make it less likely that i could actually
sit down and poke at the problem.

this is because we've removed anonymous access to the database for

if you want to test connectivity to your mysql database, you will need
to set up yourself an account/password, or recreate the default
access.

before sarge came out, there were three versions available

stable: 3.23
testing: 4.0.x/4.1.x
unstable: 4.0.x/4.1.x

now, there are only two versions available (4.0.x/4.1.x) in all
three releases.  at some point, this will change when we introduce
5.0 into unstable, when we will probably at least remove 4.0.x from
the unstable and testing releases.

so about this bug, i'm not sure what more you want from it.  if there
are no objections, i'll go ahead and close it...

could you send me a copy of the logs you're getting?

note that because the paths have changed, you will have to update
cacti to know about the new locations.  for example if you're using
script server templates, you may have to edit the files and reload
them inside of cacti from their new paths.

thanks for pointing this out!  i was really scratching my head on this
one.  i was suspicious that it might have been threading related, but
didn't have a way to verify it without sitting down and hacking with
UML myself.

so, i'll reassign this bug to user-mode-linux.  i notice that this was
kept out of sarge, so thankfully this means that this is not a problem
that should be hitting most people.

are you using BDB databases, or only have BDB enabled?  the warning is
valid (BDB support is either disabled or on its way to being disabled,

i believe this has already been reported (or something similar to it,
anyway) in #299265.  it's been forwarded upstream to the mysql folks,
and there's a bug that exists in their BTS for it.  i've subscribed
to the bug so when it's updated i'll know and i can update our local
BTS accordingly.

i believe all of the above mentioned bugs are caused by the same

problem i'm pretty sure that it is there because of the number of

in the absence of more evidence, could some of you try the latest

i'm not able to duplicate this problem.  this is what i did:

1 - debootstrapped a sarge base system (with /proc mounted)
2 - chrooted into this directory
2 - apt-get install nagios-text

and everything works just fine for me.  the reason why it would
spit out the content of the cgi's would be that you didn't have

LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_cgi.so

somewhere in your apache configuration, though this *should*
be enabled by default.  could you take another look at this?

damn.  back to the drawing board i guess.  i'll try and come up with
some more ideas.  in the meantime, if you would feel comfortable doing
so, having a mysqldump of your cacti install (with passwords, ip
addresses, and snmpd community names masked out, and sent outside

yeah, this is definitely a bad idea.  i think this particular line
predates our management of the package, which is probably how it
slipped under our radar.  

i'm cc'ing debian-release on this one... coming up with a fix for this
shouldn't be too complicated or take too long and i can probably get it

i'll put the update in for the first sarge update.

this seems pretty reasonable.  the apache folks provide a script

the appropriate invocation of apache-modconf for each server for which
we're configuring sugarplum.  i'll put this in my TODO list...

did you flush privileges after granting them?  these error messages are
usually from 'access denied' type messages.  looking over the
README.mysql, it doesn't look like this is mentioned, but it is
definitely a necessary step.  

also, make sure that it's not some hung nagios process.  if you have
multiple nagios processes, there's a chance that a previously hung
one from before when the access was granted is the culprit.  you should
be able to just kill them.

okay, well i see a few options:

- try and patch nagios source for nagios-mysql at the last minute.
- take our time, keep the rc bug and put the fix in 3.1r1
- have nagios not start by default (at least for nagios-mysql, if
  that's possible)


i don't like the first one, and the third one also requires a
non-trivial amount of code change and affects the other two
versions of nagios which might not have this problem.  so given
this, plus the fact that there's an easy workaround (follow directions
and configure your server), i don't think that the world would end
if this fix didn't make it in in time for sarge.


so that's my 2 cents anyway...

hi evan,

how is the progress coming along with this ITP?  i'm interested in
using this software, but would rather not have to go out of my
way to manage it outside of a package management system :)

if part of the problem is that you don't have the time to get
the database-related stuff setup (or even if you've already done
so), might i suggest that you take a look at the dbconfig-common
project[1]?  currently dbconfig-common only exists in experimental,
but it's at a point where if someone wanted to use it in unstable
i wouldn't mind uploading it there.

are there any cronjobs (even unrelated) that run around this time though?
my thought that something like a log rotation or a mysql dump might
be stealing all of some kind of resource, causing the forks in nagios
to fail.

hmm..

could you post (or send privately if you prefer) your nagios.cfg?
looking at that may give me an idea of some settings changes that might

that's looks pretty good.  i'll see about getting this in before the
next upload.  one thing i did notice though is that the author did
not explicitly say what the license terms are of grouplist.cgi.

i don't think i'd be making a gross assumption to assume that this can
be distributed under the same terms as nagios (since the nagios is GPL'd
and the GPL says it has to be), but it would be nice to have it from
the author himself.  but anyway, i won't let that get in the way of
including it in the package in the meantime.  

thanks!
