 building it. I have a 5.2 centos box on which I need to enable this so
 took the 5.2 SRPM (mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.src.rpm) from

 The Build did not complete throwing errors during testing about unable

The options you are after are enabled in the IUS Community repository
http://iuscommunity.org/ .
You should simply be able to add this repository, then install the
packages you want.

On a side note, you should really look at updating the system to 5.4,
especially if it touches the internet. There are a couple packages in
5.2 that had some nasty exploits released. For example, udev has a
local root exploit -
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0427.html, as well as some
kernel issues, and other nastiness.

because the current release of CentOS 5 is update 3 aka 5.3.update 4

IF you absolutely need the obsolete versions for some legacy reason, its 
in the vault, like http://vault.centos.org/5.2/isos/i386/

but note, the instant you run `yum update` it will be brought up to 5.3

Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition?

You need to select 'install bootloader' to the hard disk, and then advanced 
options, where you can tell it to install 
it to /boot instead of MBR. You should have created /boot in the partitioning 
stage.

I assume you are using some other boot manager.

Thanks, Julian, that tells me what I missed.

FYI:
I am not using a /boot partition,  all of centos is  in  sdb5.

I am using grub, but it is installed into a small ~ 10 Mb  grub-only

 The monitor is OK as it's attached via a KVM switch to another machine -
 also with an nVidia card - and it displays perfectly on that.

Sometime the OS can't read the monitor properly and doesn't set it up
accordingly. Try connecting the monitor directly to your KVM-switch and let
the OS rescan it. After, connect it back to the switch. Or just force the
correct resolution.

I've copied the xorg.conf from the working system to the failing one,
and got the same result. 

Thanks for the tips on the KVM - it hadn't occurred to me that it could
be a problem. When I can get to rip the place up, I'll attach the
monitor directly to the machine and see if that solves it.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.

KVM Switch? Drop down to init 3. Bring up a shell window to do so.
Reconfigure X. init 3 is runlevel 3.

I had a machine with a nvidia card in it and added in a KVM Switch and
then X would not even boot. Removed the kvm and no problems. So I had to
reconfigure X to work with it.

Its been my general experience that many KVM switches don't handle the 
VESA VDID stuff at all well, and whenever you reboot the system, you 
have to be sure to have the monitor selected to that system until its 
fully up, or the VGA BIOS and the system driver doesn't get the VDID 
monitor detection at all correct.

I had a file system loss yesterday with gfs2, so have fun with that module.

I have an iscsi target which is reachable via two paths, and every time I 
took away one of the two paths, gfs2 panicked on me:

Mar 20 16:31:08 kavring iscsid: connection2:0 is operational after recovery (44 
attempts)
Mar 20 16:31:12 kavring multipathd: sdb: readsector0 checker reports path is

Mar 20 16:31:33 kavring kernel: GFS2: fsid=on3-ruby-app:htmldata.0: withdrawn

After that you need to gfs2_fsck the system. With gfs it works as designed, 
I can reach the target via the other path and the file system stays online 
*and* uncorrupted.

If you get different results, I'd be interested to know.

Sorry? I did not change anything. You replied to *my* posting with 
questions to the original poster and with *nothing* that referred to my 
posting. Do you do the same in face-to-face discussion? Person A has a 
problem and asks something in a round, Person B replies and you then ask 
person B for further information about the problem that person A has? 
Really? Won't you rather address person A directly?

 Are you saying everyone should create a new thread path from the 
 original post each time

not each time, it depends on the natural flow of discussion. I think this 
should be obvious.

 instead of keeping a thread going to get a 
 solution solved?

Simply reply to that posting that you refer to. That could be the root 
posting or any posting down the thread. Again, it depends what you refer 
to. If you think that a thread is built by appending the next posting 
always to the previous posting and it's a neverending single chain of 
postings, then you got it wrong.

 This would make it a great pain to find answers if everyone had to start 
 from scratch every time when they posted.

Not at all. It organizes the thread in the natural flow of discussion.
This is not a forum, which often are built on top of broken software that 
doesn't know anything about flow of discussion - e.g. they are unthreaded. 
If you got this bad habit from forums - get rid of it! Even in most forums 
you can quote correctly and thus indicate which posting you refer to 
although they might all be chained together.

 No one else has been asked to do this.

I asked you because you used *my* posting as a root instead of the correct 
posting and so I immediately recognized it as it came in as a follow-up to 
me but wasn't one. I'm sure not scrutenizing each and every posting for 
this. Most people here do understand threading.

Just how much memory do you have in your system?  Are you actually hosting
anything on your servers?  When your system is experiencing the problem run
the following and send it over

cat /proc/meminfo

Why not try it with 5.2 and see if it works. It shouldn't take that long.

The only part your English was bad on was the question about 5.2, but it
wasn't too hard to figure out what you meant by the rest of the message.

Why go to 4.5 and not 4.7?

Why try 5.0 and not the 5.2?

Everything here sounds quite half-baked. Buying equipment for
production before knowing if it is compatible. Rushing a deployment
before it is even tested!

If you have it working on 4.5 why do you want to go to 5.0 now? Why
not wait until it is time for new hardware?

You can install mailscanner wiht this repo.

Don't install mailscanner on Centos via the install.sh script.
It will overwrite some perl packages.

With rpmforge enabled install these packages via yum.

yum install perl-Convert-BinHex perl-Convert-TNEF perl-Convert-BinHex

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 and SATA HotSwap

Hi,

On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 10:57, Julio Rodanes - KNET ju...@knet.es wrote:
 I have read that the AHCI module allows hotplug but when I add a hot new
 SATA disk, the system don't detects it .

 Any idea of what the problem is?

Even though it's hotplug, you have to give Linux a command so that it
will scan the bus and add the disks to its internal tables.

To do that, first you have to identify which SCSI host it will be your
SATA controller, you can see a list of the ones you have with this
command:

ls /sys/class/scsi_host/

To identify which one is your SATA, look in /proc/scsi/scsi, for
instance, if it's scsi4 there, it will be host4 in /sys. You can also
look at dmesg or /var/log/dmesg and see the messages of when your
other disks were detected, it will show it with names as scsiX or sd
X:0:0:0. Also grep for ahci in dmesg, it might give you a clue. You
might have multiple hosts in one AHCI controller, you might have to
figure out which one your disk is connected, or scan all of them.

Once you found which host it is, issue the following command as root:

echo - - - /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan

I wrote hostX above, but you have to use the proper number, like
host4 if your SATA is scsi4.

This should work. Let us know how that goes.

HTH,
Filipe

To use stateful rules, you must have rules for state ESTABLISHED too,
otherwise it will only allow the first packet and not the all others.
The first rule should always be:

iptables -A ... -i bond0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

That's the point of stateful rules, you match the rules further down
for new connections, but existing connections will always match the
first rule.

You should google for iptables stateful and try to get a better
explanation of what it is and how it works.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 + iptables + memcached Problem

2008-12-13 Thread Art Age Software
I do have such a rule at the top of the rule set. Sorry I did not
provide more context. The basic structure of my rule set is:

1. Deny some known bad packet types.
2. Accept ESTABLISHED, RELATED traffic.
3. Accept rules of various sorts (such as the memcached rules).
4. Deny all (catch all rule).

I'm not an iptables newbie - I have used it for years and understand
its basic operation. All my other rules work perfectly. This is why I
am perplexed as to the memcached rules not working as expected and why
I suspect a bug of some sort.

Thanks,

Sam

OK, here are the original (stateful) rules reinstated:

IPTABLES -A INPUT  -i bond0 -p tcp -m tcp  -s 192.168.1.0/24  -d
192.168.1.0/24  --dport 11211  -m state --state NEW  -j ACCEPT

You need to choose the 2.6 Kernel When choosing the type of install for a
Red Hat type Install then it will find your disk...Anything other than that
it will not find a disk or ask for drivers.

That's exactly how I just solved the issue - in the 3ware BIOS I defined
a bootable device of 50GB for the base system and the rest was carved by
auto-carving into chunks of 1024 GB.
Works like a charm!

Hi,

You can use over 2TB partition at install from 5.1.
But! only /boot partition must be made on smaller 2TB partition.
This is maybe grub issue.

if use CentOS 5.0 try this way.
1.make 20GB partition at 3ware.
2.make 2680GB partition at 3ware.
3.install CentOS 5.2 on 20GB partition, ignore 2680GB partition.
4.after install, make 2680GB partition using parted.
5.format and mount 2680GB partition.

In addition.
I remember that my server had same problem with over 2TB logical volumes.
Installation successfully is point, but can not boot it.
Maybe old 3ware driver can't treat over 2TB volumes.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 with IBM SERVERAID 6i

2008-11-19 Thread Miguel Medalha



I've installed RHEL 4 on several IBM eSeries servers with ServeRaid
controllers and I despise them.  They fail too often and often don't
tell you that they are having problems until it is too late.  My
suggestion is to use Linux software for your RAID array, and bypass the
ServeRaid controller entirely.
  

Are you referring to the SATA controllers or to the SCSI ones?

I don't know about throughput, but using software RAID has the following
plus'es (in my book)
1) no need for the vendor specific agents to monitor
2) if/when you get larger drives, you can sub them into the array and
then expand it.  I haven't seen a hardware RAID card yet that will allow
that

I always prefer hardware raid over software raid primarily for
hot swap purposes, if a drive is dead I just yank it, replace it
and don't have to worry about it, rebuild is automatic. This may
be the case with linux software raid now I'm not sure, a few years
ago hot swap was somewhat iffy and results varied widely on the
controller(e.g. could panic/hang the box in some situations).

Also root on raid is much simpler with hardware raid than software
raid. If you have battery backed cache as yours appears to have,
you have the added advantage of write back caching which can
give higher performance.

Out of the 400 or so raid cards I've used over the years I recall
only 2, maybe 3 of them having trouble(failing/faulty).

So in short I always prefer hardware raid because it is simpler
to operate for me at least. That is provided it is a true
hardware raid controller, there are a lot of shit hybrid
software/hardware raid cards out there, I do not trust them.

Hi Miguel,

FWIW I have been running an IBM e server 346 with 6 73GB disks in two

performance is mucj better than my development system that used single -

My fear is that in case of controller failure it will be difficult to

 Hi all...

 First of all, I'm new to this list. Thanks in advance for the help I surely

 I have installed a CentOS 5.2 64 bit on a computer, and I can't get it to

 The box is a custom built computer, with this components:

 - ASUS P5N64 WS Pro motherboard (nForce 790i Ultra SLI)
  More details here:

 - GeForce GTX 260
 - 2x2Gb of 1333 memory
 - SATA 500Gb hd and SATA DVD (sata ports 1 and 2).

 I booted with the DVD and installed the system fine, but when I try to
 boot from the HD, the boot process just stops after inird loading, the
 kernel
 doesn't even start.

 I also tried with the CentOS 5.2 live CD, but it stops claiming that can
 not
 find the boot disk ???

 Has someone similar problems ? What could I try to boot ?


I have had the same problems with a similar machine recently. The kernel
coming with CentOS 5.1 worked, however no further update ever did. Only way
to make newer kernels work was to set up Compatible mode by BIOS, alas
performance suffers a lot.
I filed a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467308, some
work at upstream seems to be underway. HTH

 You can do all that with both tools.

 Bacula is tape oriented, so if you're backing up to tape it's going to
 be the tool for you. It also supports backing up to disk, but it backs
 up to disk as if it was a tape (a set of tapes, actually) which is
 kind of awkward. In my opinion, Bacula's user interface is kind of
 weird too.

 Backuppc backs up to disk only, but it has a great advantage that it
 finds duplicate files and uses hardlinks to reduce storage usage, so
 it can usually back up much more data than Bacula in the same space.
 Another advantage of Backuppc is that it backs up using rsync or tar
 over ssh or smbtar for Windows, so in general you don't need to
 install an agent on the client machines. It's web interface is also
 very good.

 So, you should choose mainly based on the media you're using for backups.

 IMHO, if you still use tapes, forget the past and move to the future
 of disk-based backups, and adopt Backuppc as your tool.

Hi Filipe,

Thanks for giving me insights. I have HP StorageWorks D2D2500 machine on the 
way, I wonder if I can put CentOS on the machine then putting Backuppc after or 
the machine is already ready to use without needing additional software to 
install. I will read included manual when I get it although I am sure that it 
is available from HP site. I just do not have time yet to read it. Again thanks.

There are trade-offs here. Tapes are generally regarded as having a

On the other hand, given bandwidth suitable for keeping up with changes 
via rsync, backuppc is perfectly capable of maintaining offsite backups 
over a vpn without transporting anything.  And for life span you can use 
raid mirrors and replace a drive every couple of years.  Also, backuppc 
can generate a tar imaage that you can write to other media for archival 
storage and the ability to restore without the application running - it 
isn't particularly handy but it is possible.

Yes, tape for offsite copies are fine, but these days I don't see any
reason why to back up directly to tape instead of staging to disk
first.

If you do backups to disk with BackupPC, you can use dump to
efficiently create an image of that filesystem to tape, and then send
that tape offsite.

Or, as another poster already mentioned, you can do your offsite
through the network by using a remote BackupPC server or using rsync
to keep a copy of your local backups on a remote machine.

In firefox type in about:config,

right click on it and 'toggle' it to a true value,
restart firefox and see if it helps.


Um, as the original poster, I WANT IPv6.  Not make IPv4 lookups faster

Further testing has IPv6 working just fine.  Thing is when I enable the

more likely a DNS issue

Name is coded in /etc/hosts

Of course the fqdn I am using does NOT follow 'standard'
TLDs, but it should NOT be masking that, or would that be
a 'security' feature?


I have no clue what you are talking about being coded in
/etc/hosts...

you can check DNS if it returns ipV6 addresses for hosts or if
there are
snags/delays in trying to resolve names from command line

p3490.htt is in my /etc/hosts file as something like:

2701:24:2:1:0:1:2:3   p3490.htt

I can 'ping6 -n p3490.htt'

But putting a url of http//p3490.htt does not work

 DNS can be real slow when IPv6 is enabled.  For instance the following
 firefox delta would speed up firefox on IPv4 connections.  Maybe you need to
 turn it on?


  You may have already found this, but it helped when I had the same
 problem.

 In firefox type in about:config,
 filter for 'ipv6' you should have an entry for network.dns.disableIPv6
 right click on it and 'toggle' it to a true value,
 restart firefox and see if it helps.


 Um, as the original poster, I WANT IPv6.  Not make IPv4 lookups faster by
 ignoring  records.

 Further testing has IPv6 working just fine.  Thing is when I enable the HIP
 API intercepts, FIrefox does not work.  Like they are doing something
 'non-standard' with the regualr TCP socket API so that HIP can't slide in
 there.  I tried disabling a number of options, thinking it might be some
 security setting, but if it is, I have not found it.

Yep, i fully understood you wanted IPv6.  i just thought you might want to
verify what settings you have for Firefox -- making sure Firefox has turned
on IPv6 dns.

Just curious, what is the motivation for the HIP api stuff, it is not there
by default is it?

read the RFCs on HIP:  4423 and 5201-5206.

4423 provides the justification of HIP and its architecture.  I created 
HIP almost 10 years ago, shortly after (as IPsec co-chair) got the IPsec 
RFCs out.  HIP is much more than an alternative keying protocol for ESP 
(compared to IKE).  It directly addresses secure mobility.  HIP **IS** 
an important change to the TCP/IP architecture; this has been part of 
its slow advancement.  As such it has its own 'native' API:  
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hip-native-api-05.txt.


I can go into more about HIP if you wish.

No, but Ericsson just released there FreeBSD implementation:  
http://www.hip4inter.net/download/download.php


And Boeing has their Vista and I think NetBSD code base.

HIPL is available for FC8 and Ubuntu and I think Suse.  I saw it running 
on the Nokia N810 when I was in Helsinki earlier this month.



How does one know?


Our goal is to move HIP from Experimental to Standards track in the IETF 
at the November session.  From there it may well be that HIP could be in 
Centos 6.0.  But that is a long shot.


Would it make sense to include HIP in a Wireless Access Point firmware 
or a RADIUS type machine?


As a better security protocol to run RADIUS through between the AP and 
the Radius server?  YES!



Looks interesting, will have to keep it in mind for wlan sec.


Just remember that it is NOT a tunneling keying protocol.  It runs ESP 
in Transport mode, even if you are using BEET ESP mode.  You can run a 
tunneling protocol within it.  I am working on that


HIP is NOT a VPN alternative.  It is really host-to-host security.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 + SELinux + Apache/PHP + Postfix

2008-08-23 Thread А . Кириллов

 I'm running CentOS 5.2 with SELinux in enforcing mode (default
 targeted policy). The server hosts a PHP web app that sends mail. I'm
 getting the following errors (see end of message) in my selinux
 audit.log file every time the app sends an email. The email always
 seems to get sent successfully, despite the log messages. However,
 they do concern me and I would like to understand what they mean and
 why they occur.
 
 The first set of messages seems to relate to postfix being denied
 attempts to create/read/write a temporary file in Apache's context. In
 the second set, it seems to postdrop is attempting to do something
 with apache's error log file.
 
 Can anyone help make sense of this? I know I can create policy rules
 to allow these actions. But I don't want to do that without
 understanding the implications. For reference, audit2allow suggests
 the following policy additions:
 
 #= postfix_postdrop_t ==
 allow postfix_postdrop_t httpd_log_t:file getattr;
 
 #= system_mail_t ==
 allow system_mail_t httpd_t:file read;
 allow system_mail_t httpd_tmp_t:file { read write };
 
 Any help greatly appreciated.

If these denials do not interfere with the normal workflow
of the application you may add dontaudit rules to your local policy.
The unnecessary access will still be denied but you won't get
these annoying messages in the logs.

There's a plenty of dontaudit rules in the base policy
shipped with centos. If you're curious you may install
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/enableaudit.pp
which is a base policy with dontaudit rules turned off.
