 Minor version upgrades (eg 5.2  5.3): yum update

Not sure it matters but I usually do

yum update yum rpm
yum clean all
yum update

I heard elsewhere that there can be problems if you do not update glibc

 The version of nss you have installed is from the epel repo not base CentOS
 so it is conflicting with something from the 5.3 release. Remove the old
 version of nss, do the update and reinstall nss if required. I had a
 similar problem with one of the NetworkManager rpms from the epel repo.

[CentOS] Torrent tracker for CentOS v5.3 working properly?

Hi,

Is the tracker for the 5.3-release working properly?

The only torrent I see actually downloading is CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1to6. The
other three for the i386 DVD and ditto for x86_64 (cd+dvd) are just sitting
there. The availability and the number of connected peers in the swarm for
each torrent is rather high though.

Do torrent downloads work from a single tracker at centos.org, or are those
individual trackers depending on what mirror you download the torrent-file
from?

I've seen this behavior ever since CentOS v5.0.

I think there is a flaw in the release cycle logic.
There's always a chance that despite of all the dependency checks a half
-update creates a problem while the full update would not.

Once the release is imminent (say two days before it, or maybe a week 
before it and before *any* new package is distributed) there should be an 
announcement that a release of the new minor version is due, so that 
anyone can prepare and not accidentally download and install only half of 
the packages because the mirror isn't fully equipped yet (and update any 
of the old packages where he's not up-to-date yet before he updates to 
the new minor version).
And after the release when it is safe to assume most mirrors have all the 
packages do the real announce.

Yes, you can follow this list and check yum update each day and assume 
that if after a long dry period new packages arrive that they must be part 
of 5.3 and wait a bit longer until all are available. But that's not 
really a clean solution. A preparation announcement would be.

 OpenSolaris is now something you can get paid support for from Sun.
 There will be a LTS release coming too. I don't think OpenSolaris will
 go the way Java has gone any time soon. Look how long it took for Java
 to reach that stage.

OT but with OpenSolaris 2008.11 the repo got split into release and
dev allowing for a degree of stability if you wish it. The contrib
repo is getting underway as well, but the big debate at present is
about making sure that OpenSolaris exists even if sun is bought by
someon else. - replacing sun specific code with GPL stuff, yadda

We use opensolaris specifically for iscsi using zfs to provide targets
for our CentOS servers and desktops/laptops. Mainly because zfs is
real nice but CentOS Works™ everytime i login.

I just now noticed that the Openoffice3 and a CenOS 5.2 torrent seed/upload
started again. So it seems both upload and download is actually working as
it should.

The question still stands on why only the one 5.3 download works though. It
*might* be the thing that John R Pierce said previously about some
torrent-clients nedding and using one torrent per port only. In my case
that'd be port 80 I guess. If so, that's a problem with my Azureus-client
and probably not something that should be discussed on this list, unless the
moderators agree this is relevant in sharing the new CentOS-releases over
bittorrent. 8-)

[CentOS] Linux aux petits oignons - Book about Linux, based on CentOS 5.x

2009-04-01 Thread Niki Kovacs

Hi,

I'm currently busy finishing Linux aux petits oignons, a practical 
introduction to Linux, aimed primarily at the frustrated Windows user. 
This is the first of two volumes, it's written in french, and all 
examples in the book are based on CentOS. (Note: looks like I'll have to 
update some screenshots to 5.3 :oD)

Usually the first question that arises is: why not base your book on 
Ubuntu/Fedora/SuSE/whatever? I answer that question in the book, but in 
short: I'm using Linux professionally, both on server and desktop, and 
my distro of choice for both is CentOS. It's one of those rare distros 
where you login and everything Just Works(tm). I'm aware of the few 
drawbacks (recent hardware, latest version of apps, yadda yadda), but I 
can live with that.

Another thing you will maybe notice: I'm not shy about introducing 
newbies to the commandline. Usually Linux books for beginners seem more 
and more GUI-centered, but I'm taking the opposite way, preferring to 
explain simple and basic UNIX concepts. (The heck if I lose 90% of 
prospective readers who will rather go off and buy Simple comme Ubuntu 
:oD)

Here's the - almost - final version of the manuscript. It will go to the 
graphist sometime next week. Until then, maybe you're curious and want 
to take a glimpse:

http://www.kikinovak.net/download/LinuxAuxPetitsOignons.pdf
http://www.kikinovak.net/download/Captures.tar.gz

If you have any comments, suggestions, if you want to point out the odd 
typo or mistake, feel free to do so. I can take them into account until 
maybe the end of next week, before the folks in the layout department do 
their job.

One last thing: since this is not the final version, please don't 
disseminate it too much.

Enjoy,

Niki Kovacs (a.k.a Kiki Novak)

[CentOS] Symantec Backup Exec (formerly Veritas) agent

2009-04-01 Thread Mike Yates

I'm just wondering if anyone else here is using this?
The majority of jobs on our CentOS5 server fail by Communications failure 
right at the end, apparently on the very last file which, however, is 
recoverable, as is the whole archive. In more than half these failures, the 
Linux agent has stopped and, in about half of those, crashes leaving a 
backtrace. I had similar symptoms in Fedora4 (though much less often) and 
Fedora9 when the data was on a different server.
Symantec have looked at this but they only support RHEL and SLES so will not 
delve deeper.

Torrent clients perform best if they can use a port which is reachable

using is announced via the trackers.

some torrent clients seem to require a different port for each torrent,
while others can handle multiple torrents concurrently with a single
port.  my favorite client is the MS Windows only uTorrent, 2nd favorite
is the portable java based Azureus.

I've enabled http-seeding on port 80. Don't know for sure if this works
and/or helpt anything, but since this port is probably the only one open to
the outside at our university it might work. For incoming connections my
client is set to the random port number 21815 which is likely blocked and
outside of my permission to allow open.

I use Azureus in WinXP for practical reasons, FWIW. Torrents are for me
something of a hocus-pocus thing. Either it works or not...

from outside.  it can be any port whatsoever, as the port your client is 
using is announced via the trackers. 

some torrent clients seem to require a different port for each torrent, 
while others can handle multiple torrents concurrently with a single 
port.  my favorite client is the MS Windows only uTorrent, 2nd favorite 
is the portable java based Azureus.

 The version of nss you have installed is from the epel repo 
 not base CentOS so it is conflicting with something from the 
 5.3 release. Remove the old version of nss, do the update and 
 reinstall nss if required. I had a similar problem with one 
 of the NetworkManager rpms from the epel repo.

 Regards,

 Tony

Ouch, bet this is going to be a nightmare!  No telling what else might be
dependent on nss.

 Hi,
 
 I'm currently busy finishing Linux aux petits oignons, a practical 
 introduction to Linux, aimed primarily at the frustrated Windows user. 
 This is the first of two volumes, it's written in french, and all 
 examples in the book are based on CentOS. (Note: looks like I'll have to 
 update some screenshots to 5.3 :oD)

Are there plans for an English version / translation?

 
 Usually the first question that arises is: why not base your book on 
 Ubuntu/Fedora/SuSE/whatever? I answer that question in the book, but in 
 short: I'm using Linux professionally, both on server and desktop, and 
 my distro of choice for both is CentOS. It's one of those rare distros 
 where you login and everything Just Works(tm). I'm aware of the few 
 drawbacks (recent hardware, latest version of apps, yadda yadda), but I 
 can live with that.
 
 Another thing you will maybe notice: I'm not shy about introducing 
 newbies to the commandline. Usually Linux books for beginners seem more 
 and more GUI-centered, but I'm taking the opposite way, preferring to 
 explain simple and basic UNIX concepts. (The heck if I lose 90% of 
 prospective readers who will rather go off and buy Simple comme Ubuntu 
 :oD)
 
 Here's the - almost - final version of the manuscript. It will go to the 
 graphist sometime next week. Until then, maybe you're curious and want 
 to take a glimpse:

 http://www.kikinovak.net/download/Captures.tar.gz
 
 If you have any comments, suggestions, if you want to point out the odd 
 typo or mistake, feel free to do so. I can take them into account until 
 maybe the end of next week, before the folks in the layout department do 
 their job.
 
 One last thing: since this is not the final version, please don't 
 disseminate it too much.
 
 Enjoy,

I just now noticed that the Openoffice3 and a CenOS 5.2 torrent seed/upload
started again. So it seems both upload and download is actually working as
it should.

The question still stands on why only the one 5.3 download works though. It
*might* be the thing that John R Pierce said previously about some
torrent-clients nedding and using one torrent per port only. In my case
that'd be port 80 I guess. If so, that's a problem with my Azureus-client
and probably not something that should be discussed on this list, unless
the
moderators agree this is relevant in sharing the new CentOS-releases over
bittorrent. 8-)

Problem seems to have been solved.

I downloaded the 32/64b dvd and cd isos using ftp and added them to my
bt-client. Now it's uploading like crazy. All is fine.

Re: [CentOS] Help setting up multipathing on CentOS 4.7 to an Equallogic iSCSI target

2009-04-01 Thread James Pearson

nate wrote:
I thought if it treated each ip as a separate target portal on the
initiator you would be able to connect to two different targets at
the same time and let dm-multipath figure out it's the same disk. No?
 
 
 You can do this, I'm sure of it. But the catch is this doesn't
 aggregate the links, even if you use round robin multipathing at
 any particular instant in time your only using one link.
 
From the docs from device mapper multipath on CentOS 5.2
 
 Path Group:
 A grouping of paths. With DM-MP, only one path group--the
 active path group--receives I/O at any time. Within a path
 group, DM-MP selects which ready path should receive I/O in a
 round robin fashion. Path groups can be in various states (refer to
 Path Group States).
 
 So as far as I can see you can't aggregate paths in CentOS 5.2
 multipath either for a single volume. The only way to use more
 than one path is to have more than one volume. You could set it
 up as active/passive and have each volume prefer a different
 path, or use round-robin and just know that at some points
 in time both volumes will be going down the same path.
 
 I suppose you could aggregate the volumes themselves using LVM
 or software RAID, to present a single file system to the OS that
 uses more than one path simultaneously depending on what data is
 being accessed.
 
 I think you'll probably find the software iSCSI has more serious
 performance bottlenecks before your able to max out a 1Gbps link
 anyways.

Just to update this thread with what I've discovered:

Using CentOS 5.2, the software iSCSI initiator and DM multipath, you can 
get more than 1Gbps to/from an Equallogic array using a single host and 
a single volume on the array.

I followed the instructions at:

http://linfrastructure.blogspot.com/2008/02/multipath-and-equallogic-iscsi.html

and with a multi-threaded read/write test I got 175Mbyte/s writes and 
230Mbyte/s reads using 2 GbE NICs

The Equallogic does some sort of connection load balancing, as you point 
  each iSCSI initiator on the host to the same IP address on the array 
(what they term the 'group IP address).

The software iSCSI initiator with CentOS 4.7 doesn't support multiple 
NICs to a single target, but using a couple of Qlogic 4060 iSCSI HBAs, 
DM multipath also works - although the same read and write tests were 
both 175Mbyte/s

Also, out of interest, using a different a iSCSI target array and a 10 
GbE network with the software iSCSI initiator on 5.2, I could get over 
400Mbyte/s on both read and writes ...

You might have to give 'ext4' on the installer boot command line to 
enable ext4

Anaconda fsset.py has the code:

 # this is tech preview at present...
 if flags.cmdline.has_key(ext4):
 self.supported = -1
 else:
 self.supported = 0

[CentOS] 5.2-5.3 Xen upgrade weirdness

2009-04-01 Thread Tom Diehl

Hi,

Has anyone tried upgrading xen domu's from 5.2 to 5.3? I just did a 
yum upgrade glibc  yum upgrade yum. All appeared to go well but when I 
rebooted and tried to connect to the network, I could not. Looking at 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I see that the that there is now an ifcfg-eth0
and an ifcfg-eth0.bak. ifcfg-eth0 now contains configuration for a dynamically
configured interface and ifcfg-eth0.bak has the old static config information.

In addition, the mac address of the interface has also been changed. I can put
everything back but I would like to know if this behavior is deliberate? If so
how do I revert whatever is making the changes so that this does not happen.
I have software on some of my domu's that requires me to go get new license
keys when mac addresses or ip addresses change.

So far in my limited testing this only seems to happen on the domu. The dom0 
seems to be OK, although I have not yet rebooted it.

I did not see anything in the release notes.

I have exactly the same problem. No nss-devel is installed currently. 
But yum update always gives the below message:

Package nss-devel.i386 0:3.12.2.0-2.el5.centos set to be updated

nss = 3.12.2.0-2.el5.centos is needed by package nss-devel

I can't install nss-devel either due to the very same error.

Sorry Michael, I still haven't figured it out. No clue at all.

I had the same problem with dependencies. I had to do

But when I looked in the Release Notes for CentOS-5.3, it doesn't mention
yum update glibc at all, so maybe that upstream bug has been solved
for CentOS-5.3?

Maybe, dunno'. At least it works with yum update. I could reproduce this
on all x64-machines I've got here. I don't see any problems though. All

 No, there is not. Except if you fiddled with the configuration and

Ralph: I remembered something about a difference, between yum upgrade
and yum update, from the release of CentOS 5.2.  I hadn't fiddled
with the configuration of /etc/yum.conf and did not read the Release

was OK.   This was a gentle reminder to myself to  read the Release
Notes, which is always an outstanding idea and something I didn't do

Hi Tom,

you can nail the MAC addresses of the domU's in /etc/xen/auto/config-file:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking#head-d5446face7e308f577e5aee1c72cf9d156903722

(see 'Additional Notes', also). If not set here, they will change every
reboot (create, destroy) of domU.

I probably should have mentioned that I manage my domU's with cobbler and
virt-manager. Doesn't everybody? :-) It hard codes the mac addresses in the
config files when I setup the domU. Your reply did get me to look at the
config file though and I see that the date stamp on the config file is from
Dec. It looks like something else changed the mac address and the upgrade just
made an ifcfg-eth0 file to match. Since this machine is a sandbox it does not
run very much. It is possible I missed a previous change.

FWIW, I just upgraded another domU and it went flawlessly.

Sorry for the noise and thanks for the info.

[CentOS] Nice job, 5.3 developers/testers!

2009-04-01 Thread Gilbert Sebenste

And everyone involved with this release! I followed the instructions 
(including removing the two packages, lam and I forget what other one 
it was now, and updating glibc first), and the update was completely 
painless. And, with that yum fastest repo add-on thingy, wow! I had 2 
megaBYTE/sec downloads of the updates to my 6 boxes. Everything was 
updated in an hour, and I was good to go, and all appears well.
You know, I've had more update packages with Fedora 8 after not updating 
for five days than with this update!

I'm guessing 5.2 packages that didn't get updated are par for the course: 
they still work fine, so they don't get updated (I'm new to this, 
obviously), or get their file extensions changed when you do an rpm -q 
(package). Karanbir, you and the entire production/development/testing 
team, and those upstream, get a bravo from me!

Centos 5.3 i386...I'm lovin' it.

I am using a kickstart file from 5.2 that works fine in 5.2

First two lines of my post section I do:

This is not happening ?

 Hi, I was searching for the system wide bash_logout and couldn't find any

There is no system wide bash_logout, according to the bash man page,  
CentOS 4.7.

Instead look at the way a system wide bashrc is included in ~/.bashrc:
   [ -f /etc/bashrc ]  . /etc/bashrc
You could do the same in ~/.bash_logout:
   [ -f /etc/bash_logout ]  . /etc/bashrc

If you want to include that line for every new user's ~/.bash_logout, add

There is strangeness about.
First thing this morning, I see the chatter about updates and after a 
bit did a yum check-update.  Nothing listed.  I waited and tried, 
waited and tried, finally moved /var/cache/yum out of the way and did 
the check-update again, allowing the cache to rebuild. This time,  I got 
files listed, did a yum update and got

Install 12 Package(s)
Update 322 Package(s)
Remove   2 Package(s)

Total download size: 579 M
Is this ok [y/N]: n

but had already grown wary and refused the update. Later, I decided to 
do a download only yum update  --downloadonly 
--downloaddir=/home/rj/download/c53
and it bombed with the nss dependency msg that others have seen. I DO 
have base and update repos enabled.
It appears that the nss and/or nss-devel packages must be playing 
peek-a-boo somehow.  Is it possible that one of the mirrors is short a 
package or maybe has a bad copy?

 Not what the issue is since I couldn’t find anything

The bash man page does not mention any global logout file...

  The bash executable

  The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells
   ~/.bash_profile
  The personal initialization file, executed for login shells
   ~/.bashrc
  The individual per-interactive-shell startup file
   ~/.bash_logout
  The  individual  login shell cleanup file, executed when a login
  shell exits
   ~/.inputrc
  Individual readline initialization file

You could modify the one in /etc/skels but it would only apply to new users, 
and can be changed by them later...
Or, you could chown/chmod the ~/.bash_logout and put '. ~/.bash_logout.user' in 
it...

AFAIK, there is no basic mechanism that tells to read /etc/bash_whatever for 
each user. For instance if you look in the default ~/.bashrc you will see 
that:

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

You have to do it the same way with bash_logout.

Message: 1
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2009 03:32:17 +0100
From: Karanbir Singh kbsi...@centos.org
Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-5.3 i386 and x86_64
To: centos-annou...@centos.org, dis...@distrowatch.com
Message-ID: 49d2d231.6030...@centos.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.3 for 
the i386 and x86_64 Architectures.

CentOS-5.3 is based on the upstream release EL 5.3.0, and includes 
packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream 
repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end 
users to work with. And the option to further enable external 
repositories at install time is now available in the installer.

This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release 
Notes for CentOS-5.3 can be found on-line at : 
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.3 and everyone is 
encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through at the 
CentOS FAQ's at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ

+++
ArtWork update:

CentOS-5.3 brings in a completely new artwork stack. A big thanks to 
Alain Reguera Delgado, Ralph Angenendt, Marcus Moeller and everyone on 
the Artwork SIG for bringing us the best, most comprehensive artwork set 
yet. Also a big thanks to all the translation teams for their 
contributions to the installer artwork.


+++
Contrib repos are back:

Given the widespread requests for user contributed packages directly 
being hosted within the centos repositories, the contribs repository is 
now back with CentOS-5.3. There are no packages yet, but over the next 
few weeks we hope to have a policy and process in place that allows 
users to submit and manage packages in the contrib repo.

+++
Upgrading from CentOS-5.2 ( or CentOS-5.0 / 5.1 ):

If you are already running CentOS-5.2 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all 
you need to do is update your machine via yum by running :

'yum update'

Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so 
you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check 
you are indeed on CentOS-5.3, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that 
should return: 'centos-release-5-3.el5.centos.1'


+++
Upgrading from CentOS-2.1 or CentOS-3.x or CentOS-4.x:

The only recommended way to update from an earlier version of CentOS ( 
Version  5 ) is to download and run a fresh install. In some cases, 
running the installer with the 'upgradeany' option might also achieve 
the desired results, however you are strongly recommended to look at the 
CentOS Wiki where hints and notes about potential upgrade paths from 
CentOS-4/3/2.1 to CentOS-5 are provided.


+++
Downloading CentOS-5.3 for new installs:

When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only 
does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high 
bandiwdth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means 
to download the distro. There are present over a thousand people already 
seeding CentOS-5.3 and its possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via 
these torrents.

Re: [CentOS] Two sets of Heartbeat HTTPD clusters on same subnet

2009-04-01 Thread Martin Suehowicz

Think here is a faq somewhere on the heartbeat website that recommended
using multicast and 2 different ports. Perhaps you could just use 2
diffent udp ports though. Have a look at the halinux faq.

Lots of noise on the list today.  I ran into the same problem when I 
attempted to yum update my workstation last night.  I worked around it 
using the old old rpm dependency hell technique of retrying the update 
but sequentially excluding each dependency as the various update 
attempts revealed them to me.  I finally got a working update with:

yum --exclude wxGTK --exclude  nss-devel --exclude 'rpm-*' --exclude 
popt update; date

wxGTK is excluded since I'm also running audacity 1.3.0b.  The remaining 
excludes got me around the nss-devel problem.  Got up this morning and 
re-ran my yum update with only wxGTK excluded and it worked just fine.  
Literally as I was typing this e-mail, the update for my laptop did the 
same thing (complaint about a missing nss-devel).  My other systems all 
required changing /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base.repo to use baseurl 
instead of mirrorlist before the update would even run.  I made the 
same change on the laptop and the update is now progressing as expected.

The laptop and my workstation are the only x86_64 installations. The 
remaining systems are all 32 bit.  Since the problem still occurred on 
my laptop but went away when I switched to baseurl, I wonder if one of 
the mirrors has a bad configuration.  The results of this morning's 
update on my workstation are as follows:

IMHO what should have happened is the src be up on CentOS server but not 
sent to the mirrors until the massive bandwidth has died down.

Maybe the mirrors could get an html file pointing to the CentOS 
directory until they get the src.rpm's.

But I'm pretty good at being an armchair quarterback - maybe next release.

An alternative might be to tease the community by syncing the src.rpm's 
a week before the release :D ;)

Well, technically the source has to be made available from CentOS to

However, I don't believe it needs to be made available by http, CentOS

My understanding of what happened with ISO's -

They were kind by seeding a torrent with ~ 95% of the isos - the 
intention being that when official release was made, those who got in on 
the early torrent would only have ~ 5% to fetch.

That kindness was abused when someone found a mirror that opened early 
(mirrors opening early has happened to Fedora and other distros as well, 
it's a mirror admin problem) and seeded the full iso on that torrent 
resulting in people getting the full iso before it was released.

IMO, David - as with any user - has his desires. And as with any
project, reasonable management of available resources is occasionally
required.

The project did what it needs to do, suggestions have been made as to
getting around the (relatively small) delay.

No more needs be said except that we all understand the user's need for
timely source and the users all understand the projects need to consider
things outside the user's realm of concern.

Positive suggestions about how to reconcile those conflicts, sans
carping about one's own needs/desires, would probably be welcome by the
project. This is all business as usual for any project such as this.

2009/4/1 Rob Kampen rkam...@kampensonline.com

 Scott Silva wrote:

 What are you attempting to achieve? Having both nics on the same subnet
 doesn't make a lot of sense to me.


 Scott
 Good point, I guess I'm suffering from incremental additions over the last
 4 years and no real look at the overall architecture. I'm not sure what
 would work best.
 I have a T1 to the big bad internet world via a Linksys RV016 router and
 this used to deal with everything. The main server provides DNS, apache,
 ssh, smtp, pop and imap - all needing internet accessibility and then samba
 for file server that is only required locally. Then along came asterisk
 server and a Netgear PoE vlan switch to run the snom VoIP / SIP phones, with
 the * needing internet access but only one NIC. Then along came a 1G
 ethernet switch to improve access speeds to samba, hence the two NICs on the
 same subnet - the 100Mb for the internet facing services (although all these
 services also need to be accessed locally) and the 1Gb NIC for file serving
 to the five windoze clients. Then I wanted to add firewall to the server to
 deal with things like tripping up the port 22 script kiddies and then
 tripped up on the samba.. Confused yet?  I guess some careful thought
 needed to design this appropriately.
 I was considering having the server do IP forwarding, but this may not be
 smart as it already does too much. Thanks for the questions - helps me focus
 on the real issues.
 Rob - p.s. suggestions welcome


So, is the gigabit switch connected to the RV016?

I'd guess so, so that your client machines can reach the internet... In
which case, there's no need to connect the server to the routers built in
switch too... By the sounds of it, you don't need multiple nics for what you
are trying to do... Perhaps the issue is that you are using the 'DMZ port'
on the router to make the server internet accessible? You can also use the
routers port forwarding functionality to forward each individual service to
the server and not use the DMZ port, then you can simplify your config
leaving your server with a single interface and a single IP address... If
you wanted to get cleverer with the config from there you could potentially
have a go with bonding your NICs and connecting the 100Mb NIC to the routers
switch such that the gigabit NIC would be the primary NIC, but, in the event
the gigabit switch, or the link to it went down, the 100Mb NIC would become
active and your internet services at least would still be provided...

Alternatively, as you've said, you could get the server doing the
forwarding... as you're only dealing with a T1, it wouldn't be at all
resource intensive and as long as the server isn't struggling with it's
existing workload, it'll likely do forwarding fine too... One thing that you
might want to consider though is that if you set the server up to do
routing, that's one more service that would be lost if the machine went down
for some reason... That might not be an issue though as if it's already the
only DNS server within your network and it provides all externally
accessible services, if it goes down now, you'd loose all services except
for those outbound connections from client machines that are already up or
where the remote address is cached in the local DNS cache... On reasons for
doing that though, being able to get rid of NAT on your internet connected
services could prove handy, especially if you have any remote SIP
connections to/from your asterisk...

 However, I don't believe it needs to be made available by http, CentOS 
 would probably be in GPL compliance if they distributed it on IBM punch 
 cards to those who requested it.

No. We have to distribute it the same way we distribute the binaries, so David
is correct. And yes, this was a release with many hiccups, he's correct there,
too. And I can understand him, I probably would feel the same.

But as it stands we're going to release the SRPMS a bit later than the
binaries, and we will try to make the next release smoother.

Your mirror does not seem to be complete, 5.3 has

./os/i386/CentOS/gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.20-3.el5.i386.rpm (and x86_64 of

Summary : GStreamer streaming media framework base plug-ins
Description :
GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which
operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything
from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything
else media-related.  Its plugin-based architecture means that new data
types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new
plug-ins.

This package contains a set of well-maintained base plug-ins.

It's in the repos. It seems that your yum isn't finding it.
try

yum clean all
yum update gstreamer-plugins-good

and see if it finds it.

 Hi folk,
 I am trying to get iptables working on a samba server but find it is
 blocking something that prevents the windoze clients from being able to
 access the share.
 here are the bits from iptables:

 # nmb provided netbios-ns
 -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i eth1
 --dport 137 -j ACCEPT
 # nmb provided netbios-dgm
 -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i eth1
 --dport 138 -j ACCEPT
 # Samba
 -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i
 eth1 --dport 135 --state NEW -j ACCEPT
 # smb provided netbios-ssn
 -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i
 eth1 --dport 139 --state NEW -j ACCEPT
 # smb provided microsoft-ds
 -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 192.168.230.100/24 -i
 eth1 --dport 445 --state NEW -j ACCEPT
   
 so as far as I can tell this should provide access to the required
 services.
 BTW the server has two NICs; 100Mb is eth0 at 192.168.230.230 and
 connects to the router with internet/NAT firewall; 1Gb is eth1 at
 192.168.230.232 and this connects to a G ethernet switch that has the
 windoze clients.
 The smb.conf is as follows:
 [global]
workgroup = NDG
netbios name = SAMBA
netbios aliases = Samba
server string = Samba Server Version %v
interfaces = lo, eth1, 192.168.230.232
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = DOMAIN
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
pam password change = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
load printers = No
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %u -n -g users
delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel %u
add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g
delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/userdel %u %g
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -n -c Workstation (%u)
 -M -d /nohome -s /bin/false %u
logon path =
domain logons = Yes
os level = 32
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
ldap ssl = no
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
hosts allow = 127., 192.168.230., 192.168.231.
case sensitive = Yes
browseable = No
available = No
wide links = No
dont descend = /

 [homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
browseable = Yes
available = Yes

 [NDG]
comment = NDG files
path = /NDG
write list = @NDGstaff, @birdseye
read only = No
browseable = Yes
available = Yes

 I found that making the rule for port 139 ignore the eth port (i.e.
 remove the -i eth1) allowed things to work better, but do not want this
 to be the case as I do not want the eth0 interface to be used for this
 traffic.
 looking at netstat -l -n shows only lo and eth1 listening on port 139,
 so how is this failing to work??
 Any ideas?
 Thanks
 Rob

 What are you attempting to achieve? Having both nics on the same subnet
 doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
   
 Scott
 Good point, I guess I'm suffering from incremental additions over the
 last 4 years and no real look at the overall architecture. I'm not sure
 what would work best.
 I have a T1 to the big bad internet world via a Linksys RV016 router and
 this used to deal with everything. The main server provides DNS, apache,
 ssh, smtp, pop and imap - all needing internet accessibility and then
 samba for file server that is only required locally. Then along came
 asterisk server and a Netgear PoE vlan switch to run the snom VoIP / SIP
 phones, with the * needing internet access but only one NIC. Then along
 came a 1G ethernet switch to improve access speeds to samba, hence the
 two NICs on the same subnet - the 100Mb for the internet facing services
 (although all these services also need to be accessed locally) and the
 1Gb NIC for file serving to the five windoze clients. Then I wanted to
 add firewall to the server to deal with things like tripping up the port
 22 script kiddies and then tripped up on the samba.. Confused yet? 
 I guess some careful thought needed to design this appropriately.
 I was considering having the server do IP forwarding, but this may not
 be smart as it already does too much. Thanks for the questions - helps
 me focus on the real issues.
 Rob - p.s. suggestions welcome
I'll tell you how I did it in a few of our small remote offices.
Server is similar to what you have. Some web facing services, some local. T1
for internet access. 2 nics,

Re: [CentOS] Upgrade

OK, here's a new one.

Changed all references in repo file to baseurl from mirror, ran yum clean
all.

Now I get:

ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package pyzor needs python-abi = 2.3, this is not available.

Of course, I ran yum install python-abi with no luck.

Something is broken.

[CentOS] Don't forget to use torrents for your downloads!

2009-04-01 Thread William L. Maltby

For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new
images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if
you have a fat pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers.

I have a chubby pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly
earlier today.

If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that
you also use that feature.

Happy sharing!
