si la máquina soporta 64 bits, ponle centos de 64bits, si la máquina no
soporta 64bits, ponle centos de 32 bits.

la mejora en virtualización la tendrás en:
1- un disco muy rapido, en raid
2- varios procesadores más rápidos
3- paravirtualización o en caso de que no puedas hacer
paravirtualización entonces usar drivers paravirtuales en tu máquina

 The module does KABI tracking through weak-modules, so if it wasn't

 would need to recompile it for the newer kernel.
 
 KABI tracking adds dependencies to kernel API by creating hashes of  
 the API prototypes and weak-modules compares those to the hashes of  
 the installed/installing kernel's API prototypes, if they match it  
 creates a link to the installed module under /lib/modules/kver/weak- 
 updates.
 
 These KABI tracking modules. compiled on different kernel versions,  
 stick around after the kernel has been uninstalled, so don't remove  
 old /lib/modules directories without first making sure a KABI module  
 isn't there.

[CentOS] weird mac address

2009-10-26 Thread Janez Kosmrlj
Hi,
I have an interesting problem. I have a centos server connected to our dmz
zone. For security reasons our network department limited the number of mac
addresses that can connect to the port on the switch. And since we are
running vmware server on top on centos and a windows virtual machine inside
of it, the number of mac addresses that can connect to this port is two or
the switch  blocks all traffic on this port. And now comes the problem. The
port blocks almost immediately. After some investigation we found out, that
we have actually 3 addresses communicating from this port. One that belongs
to eth-0 and is ibm specific (the server is an IBM x3550 and every mac
starts with the vendor code), one that belongs to the virtual machine and is
Vmware specific and then we have another mac address that is IBM specific.

I can't find where this traffic comes from. I traced the traffic with
Wireshark and found, that this mac address creates a DHCP discover every 64
seconds. I first checked if this mac adress could be from the second network
card, that is not connected with a cable nor is the device enabled, but it
doesn't and the mystery mac is completely different from the network cards
macs on the last 6 characters (the two on-board cards macs are different
only on the last character). Then I tried searching the logs and /etc for
any occurrence of this mac address, but I can't find anything. Then we tried
to isolate the server, so I connected it directly to my laptop and run the
trace again to see if this packet comes from outside and is then redirected
back out on Vmware's virtual switch (since it's a broadcast packet, this
could be somehow possible). But everything indicates that this packets are
generated on this server.

In the meantime we increased the number of mac addresses to 3, but after a
while we got a packet from a fourth IBM mac address, that again doesn't
belong anywhere. It was similar to the mystery mac (it was only different on
the last two characters) and the switch blocked the port in the middle of
the night. but this was a one-time occurrence for now.

Does anyone have an idea what is happening or where i should look for the
mystery mac address.

thanx

 I would use a serial modem, assuming your server has a serial port...
 and then configure a tty on that serial port, along with the modem
 autoanswer.

 CentOS has mgetty, so in /etc/inittab, you add a line like...

 S3:345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x3 ttyS0(for com1 which is dev/tty0)

 and configure your modem options in   /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config

 now, you can use a dialup terminal program such as minicom, hyperterm,
 etc and dial into that modem on the CentOS system, and get a serial
 login prompt.


 sadly, I haven't set this sort of thing up in so many years, Ive
 forgotten all the specifics.  these days, we just use ssh over the internet

I've tried running emacs --font font-spec with different font specs,
but all of them error'd out also.

fc-list shows 156 fonts available... you'd think emacs would be able
to grab one of them and be happy with it.

What's emacs doing or trying to do?

Anybody have a 5.4 issue with fonts?

Same thing here: upgraded domU to 5.4, rebooted, no problem.
After that I upgraded dom0 to 5.4, rebootet, still no problems.

So it's not true that there is a *general* problem with Xen and 5.4

 Hi Robert,

 You actually bring up a good item here. I am starting to learn more  
 and deploy CentOS. I should run a local repo too, save bandwidth, etc.

 Do you have a tutorial for setting up a local repository? Can one  
 store, say multiple versions , just in case?

I have never automated my process, and I have as many versions as I want 
to blow disk space on.

For the base OS, the script that is running right now is:

# cat basesync.sh
#!/bin/sh
rsync -avu rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.4/os/i386/ \
--delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.4/os/i386

For updates:

# cat updatesync.sh
#!/bin/sh
rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.4/updates/i386/ \
--delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.4/updates/i386

'Traditionally' I run the updates script whenever I see a Centos 
Annoucement of new rpms.

I have a symlink of /repos/centos to /var/www/html so I then setup my 
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to have:

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=http://repo.htt-consult.com/centos/5.n/os/$basearch/


Where 5.n is the version I am running on that box. I also have a symlink 
of the current version to /repos/centos/5 so I can just use 
/centos/5/ for the current version. I have to update that symlink 
today from 5.3 to 5.4...

Oh there is a similar line for [updates].


I recently deleted my repos for FC9 and rsynced the repos for FC11. 
There I have a bit more to exclude.

On a fresh install I boot into 'linux askmethod' off CD 1, and provide 
the URL for the base repo to install off my local repo which is faster 
than flipping through 6 CDs (and more reliable). I suspect it would even 
be faster than the 1 DVD, if I had servers here with DVD drives on them!

Running mgetty on the answering side will work with Centos running some 
dial-out 
terminal application like kermit, minicom, or cu.  But what you'll get is a 
separate command line login, not a GUI desktop or copy of what is on the 
console.  If you want more than that, you might set up dial-in PPP so you can 
treat the connection as a network address with all the usual tools.  I'm not 
sure if this is exactly right for Centos but it should be close:

if you are using dial-up networking from the other end and permit connection 
either way.

There where some problems with system stability with some graphic drivers.
There was some workaround and I wanted to ask if someone tested if it is

top-view of CentOS and the community, and I like it.

A few ideas to ponder:
- I could see the newsletter being a great platform for the lead

- Mathieu's idea of soliciting a publishing success stories, real-life

Bottom line: You are doing a great job, and I like The Pulse's direction.

Re: [CentOS] Help! i want to clone my Centos machine to another box..

2009-10-26 Thread Matt
 i've spent the last week trying to find something that will clone my
 existing Centos server to a more powerful box.
 i've used clonezilla though that resulted in a complete failure..

 can anyone please guide me in the right direction?
 all i want to do is to clone my entire server and all of it's directories to
 a more powerful server so i start using it instead..
 i dont want to get rid of the current server as i want both of them to run
 in parallel with the same backed up services/data on each of them..


 can anyone please help! im honestly desperate!!

I did something like this in past.  I simply used a linux boot CD in
middle of night then used dd to copy the entire disk to new drive of
equal or greater size.  Then I placed the new disk in the new server
and booted up.  This may not be what you want though.

Re: [CentOS] mismatch_cnt after 5.3 - 5.4 upgrade

2009-10-26 Thread Ryan Wagoner
The /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check script is new for 5.4. Read through
the mdadm list. You will find that small mismatch counts on RAID 1 is
normal. I don't remember the exact reason but it has to do with
aborted writes where the queue has already committed the one drive and
not the other. Since it is in an unused area of the file system and
mdadm can't tell when the aborted write happened it is just left
alone. This is why it is common on swap partitions.

 I usually prefer rsync over ssh for file transfers where possible.  There it
 would be rsync -e 'ssh -p nnn' 

Also, you coud set up the port on /etc/ssh/ssh_config for the name/ip

xxx every time.
The downside is that you forget the port over time, not using it.

 If you want to download the minimum number of packages, the easiest
 answer is: use a proxy server.

 export http_proxy=http://proxy.foo.com:
 yum upgrade

I'm on the same situation and I use IntelligentMirror and squid to
cache all the rpm packages regardless of the mirror.
Also I set up the mirror line on the /etc/yum.conf
One word of warning if you want to go to the same route: you have to
setup 2 different mirrors for x86_64 and i386 arch., because there are
i386 packages built for the x86_64 platform that have the same name
but different checksum/content than the one for i386.

 The dates are likely based on when the ISO was actually created.  Therefore, 
 if the ISO was generated on Oct. 1st and no issues were found with it in QA, 
 then the date you are seeing on the mirrors is correct.  The ISOs are based 
 on the original 5.4 tree and don't include updates that Red Hat released 
 after the initial release of RHEL 5.4.  
 
 As far as I remember, some subsequent RH updates are rolled-into the CentOS 
 release. Someone more familiar with the build process may clarify that.

No, they aren't. This time we pushed the 0day updates from Red Hat to
the 5.3 tree (new kernel and a few other things).

The ISOs have the same software in the same versions as upstrem has,
we're not slipstreaming anything into there.

point using hostapd. I noticed that after the upgrade to kernel 
2.6.18-128 or above,  the atheros driver comes with the kernel, ath5k, 
and it does´t  let  hostpad ou iwconfig set master mode on the card.
 Up to kernel 2.6.18-92 is workedd just fine using madwifi from

 rpmforge.
 
  Any ideas on that?

Try kmod-ath5k and kmod-mac80211 packages that are available from
ELRepo.

  The dates are likely based on when the ISO was actually created.
  Therefore, if the ISO was generated on Oct. 1st and no issues were found
 with it in QA, then the date you are seeing on the mirrors is correct.  The
 ISOs are based on the original 5.4 tree and don't include updates that Red
 Hat released after the initial release of RHEL 5.4.
 
  As far as I remember, some subsequent RH updates are rolled-into the
 CentOS release. Someone more familiar with the build process may clarify
 that.

 No, they aren't. This time we pushed the 0day updates from Red Hat to
 the 5.3 tree (new kernel and a few other things).

 The ISOs have the same software in the same versions as upstrem has,
 we're not slipstreaming anything into there.

Re: [CentOS] For building my local repo, how large is 5.4 update?

 Hi Robert,
 
  I have run a local repo for Centos updates for some time.
 
 You actually bring up a good item here. I am starting to learn more  
 and deploy CentOS. I should run a local repo too, save bandwidth, etc.
 
 Do you have a tutorial for setting up a local repository? Can one  
 store, say multiple versions , just in case?

The Wiki is (or at least should be) your friend:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror

and for your locally built packags

 Never post your real port number here. Otherwise you don't need to hide
 it from the public. Right? ;-)
   

I'm not sure if this is a serious security suggestion, or a joke. (If
it's a joke, sorry I missed the boat.) This is probably going to look
like a troll, but I really do feel sorry for anyone who takes this kind
of suggestion seriously.

Whatever alternate SSH port number you select is NOT a secret, and you
have a false impression of security if you think of it as a secret.
Thinking that My system is more secure because I run SSH on an
alternate port is just fooling yourself.

If you're already taking appropriate precautions elsewhere, then
changing the port number is really just a convenience/preference, to
make your logs a little less noisy. Security-wise, it's window dressing,
and it'll really only present a problem for the laziest attackers or
bots. Your secret SSH port number is only a secret for about as long as
it takes for a wide port scan to run. (And unless you've implemented
IP-level rate-limiting on a per-remote-source-IP basis, that's a much
shorter time than you think.)

Moving the SSH port will help cut down on the rate at which dictionary
bots (account/password guessers) will hit you up. But do those
dictionary bots really pose a security threat to you? Maybe, if your SSH
server isn't patched and up-to-date, or if you haven't audited/locked
your local accounts, or if you don't enforce strong passwords or
keys-only logins.

If it's really that important that you cut the rate down, the iptables
'recent' module is a fantastic tool. Combined with some whitelisting,
you can really cut the noise down, without inconveniencing yourself at
all. If you find 'iptables' too intimidating, there are a few
log-watching scripts that will dynamically block source IPs on-the-fly
as the remote IPs roll into '/var/log/secure'.

(I'm just going to apologize now to anybody I've offended, if it means
anything--this is just one guy's opinion on the Internet, after all.)
