Re: [CentOS] Update troubles for wxGTK apps
John a écrit : I do not and did not mean to be offensive to Dag, and I apologize if I was--it just seemed like an issue that would be affecting a lot more people than just me and I wanted to see what others were doing about it. So far I've not heard what that is. I second that. Dag is doing great work, and for desktop users, CentOS wouldn't be the same without RPMForge. However, this update has been botched up. Existing systems can be left in the present state by putting an 'exclude=wxGTK amule vlc audacity' line in /etc/yum.conf. But when installing a new system, 'yum install vlc audacity' does not work. This is a worry for me, as I install desktop systems professionally, and I use both programs on client's desktops (yes, amule too, when the client wants it... :o)). As far as I'm concerned, I worked around it by simply rebuilding wxGTK (2.6), amule, vlc and audacity from SRPM and putting them in my own repo with a higher priority. This took the best part of an afternoon. My suggestion to Dag (with all respect taken): why not create a [rf-testing] repo for the critical stuff, a bit like [kbsingh]? I repeat, since this is important: please do not take offense. Shit happens, I know. Cheers, Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] kernel and memory question
Mag Gam wrote: Currently at my university we are running many servers with Centos 4.6 and everything is okay, but when a user does a large operation such as 'cp' or 'tar' or 'rsync' all of the physical memory gets exhausted. cp or tar won't exhaust your memory. rsync can consume a lot if your copying a lot of files but it's still fractional compared to the ram you have installed(from a test I'm running now it took about 10MB of memory for 100,000 files, 38MB for 500,000 files) It is common to confuse free memory with memory being used for buffers. If your doing any heavy disk I/O linux will automatically consume all available memory it can for disk buffers. If the memory is needed for something else it will re-allocate it automatically away from buffers to the application that is requesting it. It sounds like you might be running a 32-bit version of the OS with large memory support. If this is the case performance can really suffer if you go above 3GB of memory usage in a memory intensive operation due to the massive overhead of PAE(hardware function, nothing to do with linux itself). So... - Confirm you are using a 64-bit kernel (uname -a) - Confirm that you are not confusing free memory with memory that is being used by buffers - Confirm that your not already using a very large amount of memory before the I/O intensive operation occurs You can calculate actual physical memory usage by doing: (total memory) - (memory buffers) - (memory cache) - (memory free) Then of course subtract physical memory usage from total memory to get available memory. Don't trust the free memory readings by tools like top or free as they are useless, and misleading. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So I could install using the text installation except... What is the command line for text install and askmethod so I can use HTTP to access my local repo? What do I add to 'linux askmethod'? And if I go the text install route, can I do all of my custom disk partitioning?

[CentOS] Centos and colocation....
Well, I finally did it..and used centos. I started out in 1997 with my little website with not much on it. It was a shared host account. Eventually I added some more sites and got to grow out and went to this new fangled thing called VPS. Lots of problems plagued me throughout that experience, some on ensim control panel, some on others. When chost.net (think that was their name) blew up (1999 ?) and I lost my sites I moved to OLM. Finally got big enough to go to the dedicated thing. My own server, managed by the hosting company. Years of that turned stale as recumbent issues of updating and control panels just made it not so good. I made the plunge and built my own server and colocated it. Only problem, which software. I decided on rhel, but found the support so stunningly unknowledgable I moved to centos since it made no difference free or paid, no tech support is really there anyway. And I do not like redhat having access to my servers like that. It was a long long trial by fire to learn sysadmin with linux. But lessened by the huge amount of pre-setups that are done with a centos install. I look at web pages and books that talk about untarring, installing and compiling, and just pass right by them (scared one day I may have to do that stuff). It was not easy making the jump. Especially deciding not to use a control panel. However, today, just minutes ago, I moved the final website from the dedicated host to my own server and cancelled the account. It is just a wonderful and elated feeling to know I have a good server with redundancy, great raid mirror, awesome software, great company updating security patches and a great company that repackages that for me from redhat. So far, other than the hardships of learning how to build the dang webserver with a ton of poorly instructed programs, centos has been sturdy, stable, and works like a charm, almost out of the box!! I would never want to repeat the experience of learning this stuff for the first time...never. But now that I passed what I hope is the last hard bump in the road, I can finally get some sleep, go outside, and start programming more websites. Thanks centos. And yes. I am compiling all my notes from start to finish on this webserver project and intend to print a book with a step by step...but only for centos. Eventually make it one big wiki site too. Thanks for everyone who helped, everyone who yelled, everyone who flamed, everyone who just laughed, and everyone who supported. Today, I am free from hosting companies! Ho- Aaaah And a big thank you to the team at Centos who take the time to package up the redhat binaries and make them work correctly...and for adding the updates so quickly to the mirrors.

Hi, The CentOS 5.2 release notes contain this warning: A kickstart installation that attempts to use the *repo* directive (where that *repo* points to an updates repository) may fail to properly install. This is exactly the method that I had been using with CentOS 5.1 :-) What is the right way to achieve this now?

Since I have a four of these units, and the XP recovery CD, I figured, ah give it a go. And going through the Centos wiki, I found a simple piece I was missing: linux text askmethod. There were a few problems I had with the text install: Disk Druid does not work with LVM partitions, much, in text mode. I was able to increase the size of the swap partition though... I missed the setup for a user other than root. I will have to do that separately. System came up in init 3 mode. Easy to fix. Video is 800x480. This is a problem for a number of dialog boxes. I tried to change the video, but nothing happened when I logged out and back in. still 800x480 (I selected Generic LCD for hardware then 1034 x 768). I read in one set of notes that using xvesa is better than vesa (which is what is being used now). How do I set that? Oh, /proc/cpuinfo reports 769 bogomips.

Besides, in the OP case, SPF will change nothing for mail getting out of his server, since his sender domain matches his client domain (this is what gmail calls guessed SPF), and in addition, his client is the MX of his domain, so he is not going to forge his own domain on his own server. Read a few dozen sites since the last post. The reason behind spf is as follows...i guess. SPF says 'this domain and this ip sendmails' and you should say 'reject any mails you (yahoo, gmail, etc) receive that are not from 'this domain or this ip' The ip can be one or many. The domains can be one or many. What they are looking for is 'are you helping them weed out their own spam?' If someone forges your address, yahoo will then go to your site and find out that only 'this ip and this mail server' can send mail. If the mail they got is not agreeing with that, they crush it. This tells yahoo you are somewhat trying to help and then they whitelist it, so to speak. Not doing this will tell yahoo you want 'any mail from anywhere with my email address or domains' to be accepted. Since they do not like that, immediate greylist. So, it is about helping them deal with forgeries and not much else. Many servers ignore or do not use it.

RE: [CentOS] Re: DKIM
I guess spf would help deal with the whole [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] issues. Sending from an application is not hard for the return, from and to and all that. But the received from headers are gotten by the receiving client going to sendmail for a helo/ehlo. However apache is the user that sent it and it is the user the ehlo will look for. Since there is no way to magically make apache deal with all the virtual hosts, it is a constant problem with many webmasters. No one wants to see that in the headers anywhere. However, maybe the spf can allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the dns of each domain name...thus no redflags. I can see no other good alternative for that yet. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

My users interact with them all the time. Out of curiosity: What happens if you don't have SPF records? Ralph Initially when I had to deal with sending to yahoo I would get a mix of mail dumping into the receivers spam box to downright rejections. Then it moved completely to rejections. I have exec's that send mail to all the big providers, usually to lawyers and lobbyists that are either too clueless or too cheap to have a better mail system. Aol and yahoo at the time just wanted SPF records and reverse DNS that resolves. I really love it. There were times, when more spam had correct spf records than ham had. And SPF breaks mails in funny ways, especially for mailing lists or just plain email forwarding. Yes, there's SRS which tries to unbreak that but that's like trying to staple the staple on the dirty handkerchief you used for the large flesh wound to stop the bleeding. The only problem SPF can solve is that it is easier for the *sender* to make it harder for others to use his domain name in forgeries. It doesn't solve any other problem. And people who reject mails because of SPF are plain stupid (IMNSHO). It can be used to score, yes, but it really doesn't do what most people think it does. DKIM looks like it is better thought through - at least it doesn't break mail as spectacularly as SPF does. Reverse DNS - I love it. Rejecting mails because of broken or non-existant DNS violates the mail RFCs, though. In my eyes obsessive anti spam regulations destroys that part of email which spammers didn't destroy yet.

on 9-24-2008 1:03 PM Bob Hoffman spake the following: Besides, in the OP case, SPF will change nothing for mail getting out of his server, since his sender domain matches his client domain (this is what gmail calls guessed SPF), and in addition, his client is the MX of his domain, so he is not going to forge his own domain on his own server. Read a few dozen sites since the last post. The reason behind spf is as follows...i guess. SPF says 'this domain and this ip sendmails' and you should say 'reject any mails you (yahoo, gmail, etc) receive that are not from 'this domain or this ip' The ip can be one or many. The domains can be one or many. What they are looking for is 'are you helping them weed out their own spam?' If someone forges your address, yahoo will then go to your site and find out that only 'this ip and this mail server' can send mail. If the mail they got is not agreeing with that, they crush it. This tells yahoo you are somewhat trying to help and then they whitelist it, so to speak. Not doing this will tell yahoo you want 'any mail from anywhere with my email address or domains' to be accepted. Since they do not like that, immediate greylist. So, it is about helping them deal with forgeries and not much else. Many servers ignore or do not use it. From what I read, you should have it. Since a valid spf record cane take all of 5 minutes to write, I don't see it as a big deal. Now DKIM takes a little longer.
