[CentOS-docs] Release Note Translation
Hey, if you haven't started already, now would be a good time to begin translating the release notes which are already on the wiki. We're going to begin QA tomorrow and will finish the release notes from our findings in QA. So if you now begin and watch the release notes page, you'll just have to put the changes into the already translated stuff.

No es lógico hacer eso. Instalar un paquete, y no sus dependencias es instalar algo a medias que lo más probable es que no funcione correctamente (si es que funciona). O ¿es mejor bajar los fuentes y compilar e instalar igual como lo hice con squid? Lo mejor es utilizar los paquetes que ofrece la distribución. Te ahorras el trabajo de tener que estar pendiente de las actualizaciones y los problemas como el que tienes ahora. (Un 'yum check-update' con cron y te olvidas) ¿Alguna cosa especial que instalaste squid desde las fuentes y no a través de yum? En primer instancia, te recomentaría que instalaras el squid desde los rpm y así todo lo manejas con rpm, pero es probable que lo hayas hecho por alguna razón en particular. Con eso en mente lo más fácil es hacerlo nuevamente desde las fuentes, así tu personalización no se ve afectada.

It's not truly any relationship like that. It's just (in the old days) a device ID selected on the cable by jumpers on the drive. The control is nothing more than the IDE controller selecting either 0 or 1 device ID for commands and data. The drive with the matching ID responds while the other ignores.

Re: [CentOS] General CentOS 5.1 (or Gnome) instability?
Alfred von Campe wrote: I've been a big fan of CentOS for a while, and didn't have many issues with CentOS 4.X over the past few years. However, since moving to CentOS 5.1 a few weeks ago, I have received more problem reports from my users than in the last year and a half on CentOS 4.X. I've previously reported the problem with gnome-terminal crashing (and since there is a single gnome-terminal process by default all your terminal windows disappear which makes this really painful), and now I'm getting multiple reports of Gnome applets suddenly quitting. Sometimes this includes the entire screen flashing (probably a side effect of the Show Desktop applet exiting). I've also had reports of some third party tools like SlickEdit misbehaving and/or crashing on CentOS 5.1. Don't get me wrong; I'm not really complaining about CentOS. I really appreciate what the CentOS team does. I am just wondering if anyone else has seen these issues. If it was just one or two users, I would suspect the hardware or some configuration issues. But these issues started cropping up after I upgraded our existing systems to CentOS 5.1. The upgrade was a complete reinstall via a kickstart script (I reformatted all partitions/LVs except for one), and all systems are configured identically. BTW, I'm using CentOS for our desktops as well as our servers, and all these problems are really confined to the desktop systems. Almost everyone uses the default Gnome desktop. So, does anyone else have the perception that CentOS 5.X (particularly Gnome) is a little less stable than CentOS 4.X or is it just me? I am not having any issues with CentOS 5 and Gnome ... I have been using it as my primary desktop since before the 5.0Beta stage. I would initially start out but looking at any 3rd party installed products. Also, if the hardware is the same, it might be something related to that motherboard chipset and centos-5 kernels. I would see if you have the latest BIOS for the hardware as there may be APIC/ACPI issues that can effect kernel, udev, hald, etc. I have zero issues here ... but I do NOT use yum-updated or any of its applets.

[CentOS] kernels and irc
I was in the #centos-social channel and simply stated that I noticed CentOS 3-4 were getting a lot of updates. I also stated that the CentOS 5 was one kernel behind, as in RHEL it is at -53, the gentlemen then told me that I was wrong and it was at -21.

The user trying to help you had already complained about typos and such, and was using kernel shorthand since the -53.1. is common to the more recent kernels being discussed at the time. I warned you twice to stop being quite so pedantic, kicked you twice (since you were unwilling to take the hint the first time) and finally resorted to the ban when you began to spew insults and profanity. If you want support from folks who will take verbal abuse, buy a RHEL license. Otherwise, play by the channel rules and be nice to others (yes, for those of you who know me, I *can* say that with a straight face most of the time). Crying about an irc ban on the mailing list is simply a way to have the last word. If you want it, it's yours. The ban was temporary to allow all parties time to cool down, and I'm done with the entire issue. Hopefully you are as well. that being said, irc is a poor representation of centos, i have enjoyed the mailing list and have mostly lurked here. i think you overreact to simple questions that could be answered very simply with an intelligent updated answer rather that was said and this whole thing would have been avoided. you did not try to help, you simply threw warnings and said nothing. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well, it even does start on a lower level - by supporting other users on IRC, forums or mailing lists. Which also does not require an invitation. Neither does writing up documentation on the Wiki.

I've encountered an odd error state that I haven't been able to resolve yet. I have a customer that, for what ever reason, wants to use active mode occasionally for FTP xfers. What they have noticed, is that after you switch to active, and issue a command (they do 'ls', I've done other things like 'put' and 'get', etc.), the connection hangs. If you wait a bit it returns with a 425 Failed to establish connection. I've tried this on three hosts so far (all CentOS 5) and they all behave the same, some of which there is effectively no firewall (all traffic is allowed from my workstation to the host, and no restrictions on exiting traffic). All google searches about this behavour thus far have talked about old versions of vsftpd or using filesystems such as FAT, which don't apply in all cases.

Roberto.- many ways to do this. The easiest option is to put customers on mail1.isp.com ... have the server at isp.com just have a bunch of aliases pointing [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... the disadvantages are that the end users need to know to set their pop/imap clients to maily.isp.com, where y will be different for different users, and your aliases file will get big, and moving users from one mailserver to another gets complicated (usually you put everyone on mail1 until it is almost full, then you put all new users on mail2, until it gets full, etc...) but incoming mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will work, and this is by far the easiest to set up and it will scale pretty well. at an ISP where I worked during the .com, we did this, but we wanted all users to go to mail.isp.com to get their mail. we wrote a little C program that listened on port 113 until the pop client issued 'user username' and then did a lookup (in the aliases file, incidentally... this got really slow after we passed a million accounts- I re-wrote it to use MySQL and things performed ok again) to see where the user was and forwarded the rest of the pop3 session to the correct server. Really this is a minor tweak and only saves you the trouble of making your users know which mailserver they need to connect to. Finally, do a search on Cyrus murder essentially the cyrus mailserver includes support for clustering your mailservers. It's not redundant (e.g. if you loose a physical server you can loose data) but it performs well, from what I hear. Cyrus is generally considered to be an 'industrial strength' mailserver. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] tcp_tw_recycle / tcp_tw_reuse
Anyone have experience with these kernel parameters? I can't find a whole lot of info on them. I have a situation where I'm trying to stress test a server, dual proc quad core with a tomcat application that is really fast. We can get it to about 60% CPU usage, and processing about 1,350 requests a second but we can't get much past that. It seems we are maxing out the sockets on the system, with more than 60,000 connections in TIME_WAIT. Our requests are really small and light and short lived. So I was thinking of using these parameters to get more out of the tcp stack. Our load balancer is configured to terminate connections to the world after 25 seconds(a typical request takes 0.1 seconds to complete), but I'm not sure if that applies to the systems behind the load balancer as well(I suspect not because there's no apparent setting for that). Currently I have the system configured to take a lower amount of traffic, hovering at around 47% CPU, at around 833 req/s and it has 43k connections in these states: state -- 65 CLOSING 94 ESTABLISHED 172 FIN_WAIT1 50 FIN_WAIT2 10 LAST_ACK 497 SYN_RECV 43480 TIME_WAIT On a side note, the 'active tcp sockets' reported by sar seems wildly inaccurate, it reports only ~10 active tcp sockets, it barely varies from the system being idle to the system being maxxed out.

I'm using AD-via-Kerberos to authenticate users on several CentOS 5.1
systems. Setting it up was as easy as a single command line:
authconfig \
--usemd5 --useshadow --enablelocauthorize \
--enablekrb5 \
--krb5realm={AD Domain Name} \
--enablekrb5kdcdns --enablekrb5realmdns --update
This makes the necessary changes to /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/ and
/etc/nsswitch.conf. I am NOT using this for user information, just
password authentication, so I add user accounts for each authorized user.
You can also consider using the --disablesysnetauth flag, which disables
authenticating system accounts via the network services and forces
them to use local authorization. This should prevent entries in the AD
for root and other system accounts from being used.
Hope that helps!

[CentOS] SELinux error message on CentOS 5: multiple same specifications
Hi all, I just installed a CentOS 5 machine from Kickstart. I configure NSS and PAM to lookup and authenticate users from LDAP with authconfig. On my LDAP I also have some automount configuration, but I'm not running automount on this server. SELinux is installed and enforcing. Whenever I try to install an RPM (and in other occasions during boot) I see those messages: # rpm -Uvh ... .rpm /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /usr/local/lost\+found/.*. /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /usr/local/\.journal. /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /usr/local/lost\+found. The RPM installs fine, I guess those are just warnings. (Actually, /usr/local is practically empty, and there are no lost+found or .journal there, so I guess those are really innocuous.) I dug in deeper and I found out that the source of the problem is most probably in this file: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs Among its contents are these lines: /usr/local/[^/]*/.+ user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 /usr/local/[^/]*/.*/plugins/nprhapengine\.so.* -- user_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t:s0 /usr/local/[^/]*/.*/plugins/libflashplayer\.so.*-- user_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t:s0 /usr/local/[^/]*/((www)|(web)|(public_html))(/.+)? user_u:object_r:httpd_user_content_t:s0 /usr/local/[^/]*/\.mozilla(/.*)?/plugins/libflashplayer\.so.* -- user_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t:s0 /usr/local/[^/]*-d user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 /usr/local/lost\+found/.* none /usr/local -d system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 /usr/local/\.journalnone /usr/local/lost\+found -d system_u:object_r:lost_found_t:s0 I saw that /home and /root are there, since they are really home directories.

So, I would like to know: Where is this coming from? How is this file being generated? What's the command that generates it? Which command (semanage?) apart from rpm can I use to reproduce and test the problem? (In other words, another command that won't install or change anything on the system but check the integrity of this file.) How can I tweak or control the way this file is generated? Thanks a lot!

[CentOS] OT - colors in window change - sometimes....
One of our Windows machines here has this interesting property that I could not duplicate in Linux (F8, but I'll check it later at home from C5.1, too). If I open a DOS window, set the properties to have a white background with dark blue font, telnet to another machine, and run some commands, sometimes the commands echo in gray on black (and stay that way). For example, the default ls (which has the color=tty option set), does this, but only with what it prints to the screen. The real killer is vi, which resets the whole screen background back to black with colored fonts, some of which are really hard to read (like dark blue on black - egad!). When I log out, the DOS window resets, but only what it prints, unless I clear the screen, which fixes it. Does anyone know anything about this? Seems really strange (like most WinDO$ weirdness). NEVER happens on my Linux box, but it does happen through rdesktop Thanks. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm using AD-via-Kerberos to authenticate users on several CentOS 5.1 systems.
Setting it up was as easy as a single command line:
authconfig \
--usemd5 --useshadow --enablelocauthorize \
--enablekrb5 \
--krb5realm={AD Domain Name} \
--enablekrb5kdcdns --enablekrb5realmdns --update
This makes the necessary changes to /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/ and
/etc/nsswitch.conf. I am NOT using this for user information, just password
authentication, so I add user accounts for each authorized user.
You can also consider using the --disablesysnetauth flag, which disables
authenticating system accounts via the network services and forces them to
use local authorization. This should prevent entries in the AD for root and
other system accounts from being used.
Hope that helps!

Re: [CentOS] isolinux on a pendrive from disk 1

Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos? Thanks, Jerry If your goal is to boot off the USB stick and install I have does the following steps recently with a 4gig flash drive: 1. Need to setup the MBR - ex. cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin /dev/sdb 2. Use fdisk to create two partitions and make the first bootable: - The first should be 14 megs, fs type should be set to b (W95 FAT32) - The second can be the rest of the drive - Make sure set the boot flag on the first partition (many instructions I found on the web did not mention and it was key) 3. Now you need to dd off the bootdisk.img on the first disk to the first partition: - ex. dd if=/mnt/images/diskboot.img /dev/sdb1 At this point you should have a bootable flash drive and have the option of creating a file system on the second partition then adding the ISO(s) to it along with a kickstart config file. I used the aboved steps on a 4gig stick and was able to put a custom kickstart config file, along with a DVD iso on the second partition. Good luck! -Jason ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
