Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.5 Java Process Death
After 3 days of continual operation ( I barely managed 9hrs before ) it seems I have narrowed this down to the saddeningly basic cause of the process being sent the SIGHUP signal when its owner process dies. Using the nohup prefix solves the problem. Thanks for all the help on this everyone!

[CentOS] Basic Bash Script Question
I'm stuck trying to work this one out and my Google skills are apparently lacking today. This is a test bash script; #!/bin/bash do something | tee a.log if [ $? -ne 0]; then echo broken fi The problem with this script is $? contains the exit value of the tee command, but I want to check the exit value of whatever command I put in place of 'do something'. How can I achieve this without loosing the tee operation, as 'do something' maybe a long running command with a lot of output like rsync? I don't want to; result=`do something` if [ $? -ne 0... fi echo $result As that won't output anything until the script has finished (the reason for the tee is that this script will be a scheduled cron tab but it may be run interactively sometimes also).

Seeing as how we are currently dealing with 2 trees in the QA directory for testing right now (4.9 and 5.6) ... 6.0 will be waiting until we get those out of QA. I recall discussing this off-list with Johnny, like a year and a half ago (Wed, 12 August, 2009 14:25:18) I said IMHO you have insufficient resilience to maintain a regular schedule if life throws up an unexpected issue, esp when 6.X comes out because you will be maintaining another stream of code, on top of the previous releases. It's a hell of a commitment and am concerned that the infrastructure isn't in place to deal with it. You say it is, but the there are tiny signs that it isn't, e.g. delay to 5.3 bc of Karanbir's wedding and the the Lance open letter tells me that things aren't just sorted out in teh background seemlessly. Regads, Ian. Johnny's response was WRT resilience, we have plenty of resources. Point releases have always taken 2-4 weeks to complete ... and now we add some QA time to it as well (as asked for by the community). We have been in operation for 5 years ... we have retired CentOS-2.1 and have 3 active distros. we have had 4 active before with no real issues. I am not trying to pick a fight here, or told you so but I don't think you can put your hand on your heart and so that has really held-up, now that 6.0 is really upon us. Unfortunately, it is the same arguments now as it was then and in that sense, the project hasn't really adapted... but I guess in your eyes, there is no need to adapt. Just that these arguments are going to go on and on, release after release. I do urge you to change the name and take the ENTerprise out of it. Clearly the build infrastructure is not enterprise ready and we are oft told that if we need enterprise ready build infrastructure, go buy Redhat.

[CentOS] Air Conditioning - ON!
All, (and please do not turn this into the next long thread) We have a small team which volunteers their time to create the CentOS releases. They are pounded right now with getting that done... it is as simple as that. Each of us 'chose' to use CentOS and with that choice comes nothing more. Why are we complaining? To me, it is all very self-centered. Basically we're all complaining because we 'want' something. And yes, I'm on edge wanting something as well... but that is life with RedHat in general. Some of the suggestions made: 1. Send money. OK, so using a very loose or reapplied definition of a word... we want to 'prostitute' the CentOS team. In other words, if we send money we have the 'right' to gripe and press for rapid releases? Demand services? 2. Add more staff. As a small business owner, the very last thing you want to do is add more staff when you are in a slammed state. It takes all of the 'productive' workers time to train the new staff and output slows to a crawl. 3. Make any other number of 'helpful' suggestions. Well, I think by now the CentOS team knows better than us how this needs to be done based on infrastructure and team members. And even if they aren't doing it right, we don't get to make demands that it be done differently as this is how they have decided to do it. Remember, you chose CentOS based on how they operate. You can go away if you like. 4. Bringing up other distros that are ahead of CentOS. This just an attempt at indirect pressure on the CentOS team to get a competition going. Only the team gets to choose their competition. CentOS 'rates' how it rates and that is up to the CentOS team and their decisions. Some cheerleading might be welcomed, as long as it doesn't become an I cheer for you therefore you owe me. 5. MOST IMPORTANT discussing this right now is the wrong time. The CentOS team needs to be focused on the builds. They need to 'feel good'. They do not need these distractions, complaints, suggestions, pressures and generally negative comments at this moment in time. If it really bothers you, save it for later and bring it up when things are back to normal loads. Perhaps some good will come out of it, but not now. I know that most mean well, but look inside of yourself and the rush is about something you want... and YOU chose a FREE distro, which just so happens to convert to the paid version very easily. 6,7,8,9 and 10 (fill in your own but keep them to yourself) If I were a member of the CentOS team right now, I'd likely be looking at the door. I positively would be needing to step back and take some time to myself to try to cool off and feel positive about what I'm doing. To me and from what I have heard from the CentOS team, very little of what is being said on the list is helping but instead is counterproductive at the moment. Obviously the team is 'reading' the list and 'obviously' some of us have pushed them further at a very high stress time, than they have ever been pushed before. You may also note that upstream was also 'very late' with these new releases. Could it be we are discovering why? (please don't try to answer that) Please please please... ease up, give them the time they need. Make notes for future conversations, but quit distracting them and making them feel bad. Or, write your scathing reply to a thread... get really down angry and in the dirt... then when you're done, just delete it. CentOS team, I do have just one suggestion (and I have no rights to ask this). It seems that the list goes quiet and waits for a while and then explodes a few days/weeks/months later with this banter. If you would consider a public release to this list, perhaps once per week during major releases with just some tidbit of how things are going, perhaps these threads wouldn't explode. With that would be the need for it to be an announcement or something that does not allow it to become a drawn out thread with hoards of perceived 'helpful' suggestions. I can't blame you for not doing this prior, as I'm sure it will fuel fires such as the one raging at the moment. Is there a way this could be done with a 'no-reply' setting or something?

They are pounded right now with getting that done... it is as simple as that. Each of us 'chose' to use CentOS and with that choice comes nothing more. Why are we complaining? To me, it is all very self-centered. Basically we're all complaining because we 'want' something. And yes, I'm on edge wanting something as well... but that is life with RedHat in general. Some of the suggestions made: 1. Send money. OK, so using a very loose or reapplied definition of a word... we want to 'prostitute' the CentOS team. In other words, if we send money we have the 'right' to gripe and press for rapid releases? Demand services? 2. Add more staff. As a small business owner, the very last thing you want to do is add more staff when you are in a slammed state. It takes all of the 'productive' workers time to train the new staff and output slows to a crawl. 3. Make any other number of 'helpful' suggestions. Well, I think by now the CentOS team knows better than us how this needs to be done based on infrastructure and team members. And even if they aren't doing it right, we don't get to make demands that it be done differently as this is how they have decided to do it. Remember, you chose CentOS based on how they operate. You can go away if you like. 4. Bringing up other distros that are ahead of CentOS. This just an attempt at indirect pressure on the CentOS team to get a competition going. Only the team gets to choose their competition. CentOS 'rates' how it rates and that is up to the CentOS team and their decisions. Some cheerleading might be welcomed, as long as it doesn't become an I cheer for you therefore you owe me. 5. MOST IMPORTANT discussing this right now is the wrong time. The CentOS team needs to be focused on the builds. They need to 'feel good'. They do not need these distractions, complaints, suggestions, pressures and generally negative comments at this moment in time. If it really bothers you, save it for later and bring it up when things are back to normal loads. Perhaps some good will come out of it, but not now. I know that most mean well, but look inside of yourself and the rush is about something you want... and YOU chose a FREE distro, which just so happens to convert to the paid version very easily. 6,7,8,9 and 10 (fill in your own but keep them to yourself) If I were a member of the CentOS team right now, I'd likely be looking at the door. I positively would be needing to step back and take some time to myself to try to cool off and feel positive about what I'm doing. To me and from what I have heard from the CentOS team, very little of what is being said on the list is helping but instead is counterproductive at the moment. Obviously the team is 'reading' the list and 'obviously' some of us have pushed them further at a very high stress time, than they have ever been pushed before. You may also note that upstream was also 'very late' with these new releases. Could it be we are discovering why? (please don't try to answer that) Please please please... ease up, give them the time they need. Make notes for future conversations, but quit distracting them and making them feel bad. Or, write your scathing reply to a thread... get really down angry and in the dirt... then when you're done, just delete it. CentOS team, I do have just one suggestion (and I have no rights to ask this). It seems that the list goes quiet and waits for a while and then explodes a few days/weeks/months later with this banter. If you would consider a public release to this list, perhaps once per week during major releases with just some tidbit of how things are going, perhaps these threads wouldn't explode. With that would be the need for it to be an announcement or something that does not allow it to become a drawn out thread with hoards of perceived 'helpful' suggestions. I can't blame you for not doing this prior, as I'm sure it will fuel fires such as the one raging at the moment. Is there a way this could be done with a 'no-reply' setting or something? With Much Appreciation, John Hinton It took me this long to catch the joke in the subject. :) I'll pipe in to say thanks! for the CentOS team's work. I wish I was in a position to assist myself. However, and I know this came up before, if the CentOS team could setup a proper parent company (a not for profit would be sufficient) then donations from corporate entities would be much easier. I understand that difficulties of hiring new blood, but certainly more (powerful) development machines and the like might help. :) -- Digimer E-Mail: digi...@alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org

I am not holding anybody to what they said, but it adds further doubt about the sustainability of the distribution. Personally, I think it is better to lower expectation, but not leave it open ended, e.g. CentOS 6 will no more than another six months and 5.6 another 2 months. Perhaps we have been spoilt by the snappiness of the releases in the past. Plus, rename to something that doesn't suggest enterprise grade. Anyway, I couldn't get Xen 4 +PVOPS kernel working with CentOS 5.5, so I have temporarily moved my Xen server to Debian, although the plan was to move it back when CentOS 6 came out, but I shall think of another plan.

CentOS fills a niche; People who need a very stable distro while not being willing or able to pay the Red Hat license fees. That it takes time to release does nothing to diminish it's enterprise quality. In fact, I'd argue that rushing it out the door would do more harm than good. If you can't wait, go RHEL or Debian as you have. In the meantime, please leave the *volunteers* creating CentOS alone.

[CentOS] iptables question.
We use a home-brew system similar to fail2ban to block traffic from IP addresses which appear to be doing Nasty Things(tm). The main thing our system does that fail2ban doesn't is to use a central DNSRBL we maintain allowing it to immedatiately ban listed IP addresses the first time they make an attempt to connection without waiting for them to hit a sufficient number of times to bring up the block. This system sends e-mail messages to our security alias whenever a blocking even occurs, either from tcp_wrappers or swatch log watcher. My problem is that occassionally an IP addresses doesn't appear to be blocked as we continue to see the e-mail messages after the blocks are in place. Most frequently these occur from courier-imap failed login attempts, less frequently from sshd. To start, iptables is initialized by setting up a named rule set, say on eth0: # these two set up the rule set. iptables -N csblocks iptables -A csblocks -j RETURN # now add it to input, check csblocks on all new connections. iptables -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -j csblocks #Insert block IP address 1.2.3.4 as first rule in the set. iptables -I csblocks 1 -s 1.2.3.4 -j DROP # now add a rule to prevent IP forwarding on gateway machines. iptables -A FORWARD -s 1.2.3.4 -j DROP # for good measure, null route the IP route add -host 1.2.3.4 reject With all that incoming attempts still seem to get by for a few IP addresses, but certainly not all.

Connections that are already established may be blocked but traffic will continue to flow because you're only blocking on NEW traffic. eg connection made login fail login fail login fail BLOCK HAPPENS - perhaps it's the 5th set of connections and it's just tripped the threshold login fail login fail login fail too many failed attempts, disconnected by server daemon new connection blocked You'll see 3 login failures after the block occured because the connection was still open. That makes sense, and was one of the first things I thought of. On the other hand lsof -n -i doesn't show any open connections to the IP address, and I would think that the forwarding and null route would prevent that.

Maybe what Centos needs is a bridal registry. Here in the US, an engaged couple can tell their friends what they'd like to be given as wedding presents. They do this by listing items in a registry, in various stores around town. Anyway, the idea is, post stuff you need in a list on your site. Say you need 20 hard drives, or a particular power supply, or whatever items that get consumed in day to day operations. Just list what's needed, who needs it, and whatever info. It doesn't have to be hardware either - just something everyone can agree is OK to list.
