Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5 Testing repo
Those php-5.2.x rpms were unmaintained and full of security issues, so they were removed. You likely do not want any of the RPMs that were there, though I do have some of them on our build server. I would HIGHLY recommend that you either use the 5.1.6 security patched c5 main tree php ... OR ... use the php53 from c5. If you absolutely HAVE to have 5.2.x, I would recommend these: Thanks. Yeah, the problem we've got is that we need to build some test recovery boxes exactly the same as the live servers, so sourcing new packages from external repos won't cut it unfortunately. Looks like we'll have to upgrade the lot and hope for the best. This time, I'll put any testing packages we use in our own repos.

Re: [CentOS] Adding the [SOLVED] Tag to break threads -- multiple factors
the thing is that not all mail clients will set the in-reply-to headers, whuch is why clients like thunderbird, evolution and mutt will use the subject line as well to thread messages. Apple Mail does that too and it makes the threading unusable IMO. If the clients are too dumb to adhere to a convention, I don't believe it's our job to baby them. Personally, I like the idea of the [SOLVED] tags because they can indicate when help is no longer needed. However, I also like the way the Sun Managers list does (did? it's been many years since I used it), but they basically said, post a question, work it out, then post a new SOLVED thread outlining the solution. While that would probably be a bit too formal for this list, it was a fantastic way of learning things. And having the solved thread made searching through archives way easier. Find a problem related to yours, then look for the SOLVED post.

I would appreciate any suggestions. We use Kickstart. You can build a customised Kisckstart script to install anything you want. Just put custom config files accessible off a web server, and you can just copy those over as part of the setup. Or package them up into your own RPMs and run your own repo. In fact, if you're doing several of these, it's probably recommended to run your own repo with the base and updates for speed and bandwidth savings. You can have kickststart run a yum update so each box will have the latest updates as at install time. Your boot CD or flash stick can auto-boot the kickstart files, so all you have to do is insert the media and turn the box on. Once it's done, all you have to do is reboot and you're ready to go. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd (04) 460-2531 : (021) 295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Need advice trying to load ethernet firmware for kickstart
I've got a memory stick that I use to install systems. It's basically just has a simple isolinux setup on it that calls up the kickstart files from an http server and pulls down the distro via our online repo. However, I'm trying to get a standard automated install like this on an IBM box which has a Broadcom NetXtreme 2 NIC that requires firmware to be there on bootup. I've got the file, and I've added it into the directory that I think it should be in (/lib/firmware/bnx2) on the initrd.img. However, when the system boots, it identifies the NICs on one of the console screens, but borks and won't boot properly. On console 1: GRUB boots, I get menu, choose option. Kernel loads initrd.img loads anaconda starts loads usb-storage module borks with: loader received SIGSEGV! Backtrace [0xf00bar] ... etc install exited normally [1/1] sends termination signals, unmounts everything, and halts (You may safely reboot) On console screen 3: last few items are loading bnx2 module, insert module, remove usb-storge from modprobe.conf, and finally getting kickstart file On screen 4: detects storge devices and BNX2 NICs It seems to be crapping out when it tries to do the network access, but I've got nothing more I can trace the problem with. There's no shell yet. So I can't figure out if I've put the firmware in the wrong place, given it the wrong permissions (dirs are 755 and .fw file is 644) but whether that even matters because the source files are on a FAT16 partition, I don't know. It could just not be loading it, or the file could be corrupt. So how do I go about debugging this? Or am I doing it wrong? Any advice or pointers greatly appreciated.

Re: [CentOS] resolv.conf rewritten every reboot. How to figure out who and why?
about dhcpclient. The only package I have installed that shows up in It's called dhclient, so searching for dhcp won't give you a hit on that. chkconfig for dhclient too, and see what that results. Also, look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. It's possible to have addresses statically assigned via DHCP based on MAC addresses. If resolv.conf is getting populated by dhclient, then I'm guessing the odds of you having a dhcp server on your network is good. :) In all likelihood, you have a static IP assigned in your ifcfg-eth0, and the resolv.conf is being over-written by dhclient. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Cyrus IMAP and ipurge
Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge? We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a bit paranoid about its functionality. The main things that confuse me are from the man page: Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern with no indication as to what defines mailbox-pattern Second: Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mail- box(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched. Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders. What's a shared folder? OK, so the format of a Junk mail folder is: user/spiro/j...@knossos.net.nz and I've successfully done: $ ipurge -f -d 90 user/spiro/j...@knossos.net.nz Working on user/spiro/j...@knossos.net.nz... total messages 21 total bytes 187742 Deleted messages 16 Deleted bytes138324 Remaining messages 5 Remaining bytes 49418 however, without the -f, it did nothing, even though I was explicitly supplying a folder. Clearly I misunderstand what the man page is trying to tell me. I'd like to set up a proper pattern to purge all spamboxes correctly via the cyrus.conf, because at the moment, I've got an awk script that generates a list of email addresses and produces a list in the format of user/userid/j...@domain. I could then go over that list and run an ipurge for each one, but if anything happens that causes that list to be corrupted, I'm afraid of deleting the wrong mail. or worse. :( according to what I've gathered, the line: purgespam cmd=ipurge -f -d 90 user/%/j...@* at=0430 should work when put in cyrus.conf's Events section, but I can't confirm these wildcards. Some results on google just refer to * for the mailbox name, but none seem to include the domain as part of the string.

Re: [CentOS] Looking for a list of default services to disable in centos 5
I am looking for a list of services that you disable by default on your server. what kind of server? smtp server? pop/imap server? proxy server? web server? ftp server? logging server? voip gateway? firewall? rpm build box? swipe card reader server? development/source repo server? LDAP, NFS? or are you looking for a set of things that we disable by default on all servers? At which point I question your choice of removing sendmail (unless you're replacing it with something like exim or postfix) because most servers need to send mail, even if it's just to alert you when a cron job has barfed. personally I disable, or don't install SE Linux, Network Manager (with extreme prejudice), and anything to do with wireless/bluetooth, and X on every single server. From there it depends on what the server is doing. We've got a Kickstart server and boot off USB sticks and CDs that allow us to pick generic build types off a menu (eg; web server, smtp server, mail storage server, etc). The kickstart config just pulls down the packages we want, a few scripts get run doing various things like updating all packages, setting up our distributed config system, installing custom packages, and so on. However, I don't see the usefulness in seeing what other people disable. Everybody has different networks, different requirements, and does different things on their boxes. What you should be doing is looking at *your* servers and itemising what they do.

awk '$1 == word{print}' /var/log/messages
This example assumes that word is the first field and that it consists
only of word. If the first field is word1 this won't match.
Fixes for this are
awk '$1 ~ word{print}'
(this matches any occurrance of word in the first field)
or:
awk '/^[[:space:]]*word/ {print}'
(this matches any line starting with whitespace followed immediately by
word)

So gawk does all that sed does and more? I suppose I can start with Can't really answer that. In 15 years of using UNIX systems, I've never touched sed. :) With Gawk's BEGIN and END blocks you can use it to write full programs, which is kind of nice. that in this case, I always wanted a book on regexe's so I think I am going to order O'Reilly's Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition. They also have a sed awk, Second Edition book, but its 10+ years old, does that matter, has sed/awk changed any since then? The link I sent you is the 3rd edition of that book. Dated 2004.

Re: [CentOS] Log File Reviewing
Why not just start with perl which does more than sed/awk while using
similar syntax (if you want)?
This is why:
awk '/^[[:space:]]*word/ {print}' logfile
vs
perl -ne 'if (/^\s*word/) { print $_; }' logfile
Which syntax is likely to be easier to remember?

[CentOS] vim helpfile tag issues
Just wondering if anyone can replicate this issue On CentOS 5.2, using vim 7.0.237, I'm having a consistent issue across all my centos boxen. if I try and access the help files direct (as root), such as :help tutor I get: usr_01.txt.gz [readonly][noeol][converted] 11L, 4393C E434: Can't find tag pattern Press ENTER or type command to continue If I press enter, it shows me what appears to be the output of a binary. looking at that top line, it appears as if the help files are compressed, and it can't read the tags within them. Is there a satellite package I need to unpack or enable the ability for vim to decipher these? If I just type :help the status line reads: help.txt [readonly] 214L, 7883C which is ok, and the text file is displayed correctly. Under Fedora 9, doing a :help tutor works correctly, and the status line reads: usr_01.txt.gz [readonly][noeol] 11L, 2914C Note the different tag on the centos boxen [converted].. Also, /usr/share/vim/vimxx/doc/ seem to be pretty similar (given that Fed9 is vim7.1 and CentOS is 7.0) even the tags file looks ok on both ends: Fed9: $ grep tutor tags sql-completion-tutorial sql.txt.gz /*sql-completion-tutorial* tutor usr_01.txt.gz /*tutor* vimtutorusr_01.txt.gz /*vimtutor* CentOS 5.2: # grep tutor tags sql-completion-tutorial sql.txt.gz /*sql-completion-tutorial* tutor usr_01.txt.gz /*tutor* vimtutorusr_01.txt.gz /*vimtutor* -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I also note that moderation comes in 2 forms...the first being when one of the CentOS developers says stop this thread which is irregular, and you'll also notice that this never works. the thread typically degenerates into the yay-sayers and the nay-sayers, which actually produces *more* noise. This is not moderation. No threads are ever deleted or locked, even if it were possible. But instead of filling the list with lots of please read the f'n rules followed by polite responses, if the lists were split into two distinct categories -- one for general help, one for more technical problems -- then this would cut down the overall noise because posters would have a better understanding of what each list was for and could target their queries more appropriately.

Re: [CentOS] new list proposal
Given the overall poor reception of the idea, I'd just put it on the back burner for now... yes, thats sounding like a good idea for the time being. I don't think it is a good idea. I think that we need two separate lists. One for general users, one for server sysadmins. What we don't know from all the people against splitting the list is in what capacity they are using CentOS. Are they desktop users? Are they running their own home network? Are they small-time sysadmins? Are they managing a Tier 1 ISP? I would hazard a guess and say that most of the people who are pro-split are people managing bigger networks, and possibly have more experience with linux/unix. I am certainly in this category and I would like to see a new list on the basis that I don't care about typical general chatter or newbie problems. It's also my experience that if you ask people what they want, they will be reluctant to change, just on principle. Make the change for them and they'll adapt (albeit after a bit of whining). Perhaps another idea would be to have a sysadmin list that is actually moderated. But I think you should split the lists if you want to. It's not a democracy, as has been mentioned.
