[CentOS-virt] Time lagging on DomU
Hi, on one of our systems I see that while the time on the Centos 5.4 Host is correct it lags behind on two of the 5.5 guests by almost 5 minutes but is correct for the third domU.

One way to do this would be to use setspn.exe on a Windows client but if you really have no access to the Windows side as you say, you could use the Samba keytab to acquire credentials for doing the necessary LDAP add operation using some tool (maybe there is a Samba utility for this, I don't know) or program. That's not true, and I'm not even sure it's possible from samba (at least, I'm not sure it *should* be possible). What's not true? That you can use the Samba keytab to acquire a ticket and perform an LDAP operation on it's own Computer account? It certainly is true. In fact Samba uses the keytab to authenticate with and at least query AD services on a regular basis to perform normal day-to-day operations. Sorry I overquoted, I'll be more explicit. You said: You must set the servicePrincipalName attribute on the service account (MYSERVER$ in this case) to include all of the hostnames that will be used to access the web server That just isn't true. You don't need all those principals in, and I can't think of a sane way that'd even be possible. There's no sane way this host credential could be used to generate HTTP/another.fqdn@REALM credentials. Surely? But from looking at you other response I wonder if net ads keytab ADD HTTP adds servicePrincipalName attribute values (I don't use Samba like that so I don't know). If is supposed to, and the AD account does not have them, then I agree, something is wrong and he should start over. It could be a replication issue. Yes. That command creates servicePrincpalName entries for HTTP with the FQDN and the short name. I don't know what the official view is on going through a CNAME but I think that is probably a dubious practice. The proper way to handle this scenario would be to add another servicePrincipalName value for HTTP/www.friendly and a corresponding keytab entry for HTTP/www.friendly@KRB-REALM. Dubious why? If I go with your method at the very least I now need more records in AD for machines that don't exist, and I'm guessing I'll be creating them by being a domain administrator, which is inconvenient in large organisations. I'm assuming I'll also be needing to add A records for these domains. Kerberos surely won't be a fan of there not being a PTR record, so I assume you'd need multiple PTR records.

I am not an expert on KVM, but when I install a KVM VM in Virtual Machine Manager, I have to select Fully Virtualized initally, then if I want to install the virtio (paravirtualized) drivers, I need to do it like this: The selection for full/para virtualization is locked in para and all grayed out. I am fairly sure that only if you are running Xen will you actually see a Paravirtualized selection in Virtual Machine Manager ... however I would suggest that you use KVM and not Xen as KVM is where RHEL Virtualization is moving towards and Xen is being moved away from. Not running the xen kernel. The BIOS of many machines can disable virtual machine extensions (also called other things ... usually with Virtual, Virtual Technologies, or VT in the name). According to KVM (link below), sometimes certain settings do need to be turned off while others need to be on, so there may be a specific set of on and off that make it work on this type of machine. That must be the problem. Searching dmesg shows the following two lines next to each other: kvm: disabled by bios ksm: loaded mobprobe kvm-intel also reports: .../weak-updates/kmod-kvm... A search of that gives some guidance, but I'm sure the first challenge I have is to find the right bios settings, possibly updating the bios along the way. So, it is possible for vmx to show up in the cpu flags but for it to be disabled. Specifically, some Dell machines need Trusted Computer or Trusted Execution enabled as well. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/FAQ#.22KVM:_disabled_by_BIOS.22_error Verifying the latest version of the BIOS is installed can be very important for memory sizes greater than 4 GB of RAM and proper APIC operation on Linux as well. If you need to flash the BIOS on a Dell machine that has Linux installed, I use a Free DOS iso to boot from and put the Dell BIOS on my USB key, which is normally detected as C: or D: on my machines when booting the Free Dos ISO. I use fdfullcd.iso from here (use the LiveCD and do NOT install Free DOS on your main drive :D): Thanks...that is probably what I'm going to have to do.

Yes. We use ocsinventory here. Warning: there are a few systems that

I really appreciate all the people involved with the building and rebranding of redhat to create the centos distribution. If i had the time and dedication, I would definitely put forth the effort to help, but I cant, and therefore I dont complain about when updates get built. At times, to learn more about how things are done, I have downloaded the spec files and or src files and built several rpms to update my system. From what I learned, just looking through the spec and src files is time consuming, BUT building the files to create the RPMS is a whole other issue, which seems to take forever at times, depending on how many you are building. So all you people complaining about when the updates will be out, leave the guys alone, let them do their jobs and the updates will appear. So again...in the meantime, if you want the updates quicker, LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF and you will get a better understanding of what happens and why it can take so long to get the updates pushed out.

[CentOS] respawning apache on centos
Hi I have a centos instance on a host where uname -a shows: Linux cl28810.com 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab079.2PAE #1 SMP Fri Dec 17 19:34:22 MSK 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Periodically my ssh access and http access slow dramatically and I get out of memory when trying to do rudimentary stuff like ls. I've been advised by tech support to try service httpd restart. This works. But the first thing that happens after the command is issued is that the load goes up to about 15 then slowly declines to a more typical figure, in the range feom .1 to 1.3, which is fine. It takes several minutes before the site is really usable. I now have 22 apache instances out of 66 total processes, which seems excessive.

Re: [CentOS] respawning apache on centos
This is not CentOS, it's a compilation by your host built from changed CentOS sources. Your problem obviously is that you reach the limits of your VM. 1.5 GB of RAM should be enough for your 22 apache processes, so it is probably the CPU that is the bottleneck. Anyway, you have to talk to your provider, this is nothing CentOS-specific. Kai ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Don't you think there is something slightly farcical about posting messages suggesting people should stop posting messages? V5.6 will be done when it's done, okay? I don't think the OP did ask when 5.6 would be ready. What he/she said, IIRC, was that Karanbir had suggested that 5.6 would be out last week, and he/she was asking if there had been a problem. This seems a perfectly reasonable question to me. Personally, I am very grateful to Karanbir and his accomplices for what I find an excellent OS, and I don't really care when 5.6 or 6 come out, as the present version works perfectly well for me. However, I don't think people who ask reasonable questions politely should be castigated for doing so. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] IPV6 - request for info
Greetings, I am trying to wrap my head around on this topic. Was wondering : Just as there is some scope for mapping ipv4 directly into IPV6 space, Is there a MAC ID or some kind of WWID has also been taken into consideration?
