My Vista (my wife's actually) has no problems with unicast dhcp packets. Stock dhcpd server in CentOS 5, and Vista Home. Worked without any special config. Are you sure that is the problem? Not sure, but it is one of the suggested problems I see in many google searches. There are registry edits that help, but I don't want to have to do a bunch of edits when we get stuck with a hundred Vista machines. I have plenty of time, for now, to experiment. There are posts that say the subnet needs to be authoritative, but mine is. What happens is that the Vista system will not route outside the local subnet for more than 5 or 10 minutes. Do you mean that you do get an IP-number and default gateway from the dhcp server, but after 5 to 10 minutes, the default route setting gets lost? To me that would mean that the dhcp is working fine, but something else kicks in after that time that messes up the dhcp settings. Any additional firewall software on the laptop, like Norton etc. Or can you relate the loss of routing to an action on the dhcp server, like lease renewing etc. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] File system goes read-only once in a while
Hi, My Centos 5.2 server (5.1 suffered the same problem as well) has a logical volume on a RAID 10 array (4 SATA harddisks on a Highpoint RR2310 controller). /etc/fstab has an entry for this array as below /dev/raid_vg0/raid_lv0 /mnt/raid ext3defaults0 0 Normally it works OK. But, file system of this volume once in a while goes read only mode. The RAID software reports no problem with the hard disks. After reboot, the system comes back in normal rw mode. What could be the reason?. I would appreciate any help/hint. Thank you, Mufit ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Static Linking, C++ Exceptions
I'm having a problem statically linking a big c++ application on Centos4. I can make it work on Centos5 and that's great. I just need to figure out a way to reproduce the problem on a small test case. The specific problem is that when I throw an exception, I get a segfault. It only happens on Centos4, and only on ia-32 machines. In an act of desparation I disassembled the bit of code that's segfaulting and got this: (gdb) disass Dump of assembler code for function _ZN14__gnu_internal10get_globalEv: 0x08579614 ...get_globalEv+0: call 0x8577c3e __i686.get_pc_thunk.cx 0x08579619 ...get_globalEv+5: add$0x3b31c7,%ecx 0x0857961f ...get_globalEv+11:push %ebp 0x08579620 ...get_globalEv+12:mov$0xfff8,%eax 0x08579626 ...get_globalEv+18:mov%esp,%ebp 0x08579628 ...get_globalEv+20:pop%ebp 0x08579629 ...get_globalEv+21:add%gs:0x0,%eax --- dies here! 0x08579630 ...get_globalEv+28:ret 0x08579631 ...get_globalEv+29:nop End of assembler dump. When it dies, %gs is 0 which looks tls related. Only problem is that when I write tiny test programs to reproduce this, they work fine. %gs is nonzero and everybody is happy. But on my big hulking app, I can throw and catch an exception immediately on entry to main and it segfaults faithfully. Relevant compiler flags are these: g++ -c -o whatever.o -O0 -ggdb -Wno-deprecated -Werror -fPIC -Dmanything -Imanydirs whatever.cpp g++ -o whatever -static -static-libgcc many.o -Lmanydirs -lpthread -lanotherlib -lzlib -lesmtp -lnsl -lrpcsvc -lcrypt -lacl -ldl -lrt -landmanymore So I'm looking for some guidance on what things I could try to isolate this in a smaller app. -- Darrin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Regards, James Many of the articles point to the fact that Vista, by the will of the Microsoft demons, changed how it deals with the broadcast flag in dhcp packets. Quote: CAUSE This issue occurs because of a difference in design between Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to 0 (disabled). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is not disabled. Therefore, some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers cannot process the DHCP discovery packets. Microsofts answer is that Vista is right and the rest of the world is wrong (typical), but if you want it to work you have to regedit every affected machine and change something.

In the current version , you can workaround this issue by setting the idle socket timeout value in the replication server's NAT/router setting. By doing this, the backup server idle socket connections will be automatically closed by the replication server's NAT/router. Currently there is no socket timeout value for the idle sockets in the replication server. We do have plans to do this in our future release.

[CentOS] BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.2 triggers SE Linux denial
Hi. I've installed BackupPC 3.1.0 from Testing repository, to Cent
OS 5.2 x86_64, and I am hitting an SE Linux denial - the httpd cannot
talk to the BackupPC socket:
type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc: denied {
connectto } for pid=11767 comm=httpd
path=/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock

ino=39813253 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=sock_file
Is there an easy way to fix this, like setting the BackupPC.sock file
universally writeable? I don't know SE Linux and right now my
objective is to get BackupPC up and running.
I've turned SE Linux off for now, but that's temporary until I get a
more targeted fix.

[CentOS] Remounting a USB flash drive
I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics? Thanks. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Remounting a USB flash drive
Yes. mount diskid where diskid is your disk device id, e.g. /dev/sdg1 You can find out what it is by running mount while the disk is mounted, or by checking /var/log/messages, to see what disk ID was assigned to it when the device was first plugged in. You might need to specify a mount-point (where the device should be mounted), e.g. : mount /dev/sdg1 /media/flashdrive Hope this helps, Aleksey On 7/31/08, MHR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in.

Re: [CentOS] Port Closing Question..
So you are not talking about ports, but sockets. And it seems like you need to change either the TCP keepalive or socket timeout values. This should help you: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

While this use of ssh is new to me a quick read and there is a facility to run a specific command and associate that specific command with a specific ssh public/private key pair. In that post the OP was looking for ways to expand the limitations i.e. he was trying to work around a natural action that it sounds like the OP on this thread was looking for. So his problem looks like the solution to the initial post on this thread. Give it a look... It should also work with a Putty so an external windows user like your manager could use it too. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Looking for a place to hang my hat. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
