there to provide something that VMWare provides with their VMNet stuff. If

 there are several bugs in the python code, have been mentioned in this 
 list over the past weeks. Actually, I think that this xen 3.2 package is 
 one of the buggiest packages I have seen of a major and mature Linux 
 software in some time. Fortunately, the bugs all seem to be minor ones in 
 the GUI.

Actually the 3.2 packages are really technology previews, the
refinement goes into the Xen Server products.

The last 3.1 packages were just as buggy.

I have high hopes though for 3.2.1, there are a lot of fixes
incorporated between 3.2 and 3.2.1 and it looks like it could
be very stable.

Hi folks,

Is Xen 3.2.0 available on any CentOS repository or perhaps third party

The way mailers would know about host.domain.com is to look it up in

[CentOS] logging items to the console using centos 5.1

2008-04-14 Thread Jerry Geis

I need to (occasionally) automatically drop out of X11 mode,
recompile something, and then reboot.

I can drop out of X11 with init 3, works fine.
I use chvt 1 to ensure I am on virtual terminal 1
My recompile and reboot also work.

The piece that doesnt work is:


make | tee $LOGFILE

I was expecting the output (stdout) to be virtual terminal 1.
My LOGFILE has all commands in it from my successful recompile but I 
dont see anything on virtual terminal 1.


How do I get the output of my make to show on the console and also in my 
logfile?

Re: [CentOS] MS Exchange to CentOs (multiuser)

2008-04-14 Thread Milton Calnek

Why not just have the CentOS users pop/imap to the exchange
server to read mail (t-bird/mutt/evolution)?

If that doesn't work, fetchmail will pickup mail and deliver it to
the localhost's mailserver. The users will want a cron job to do 
this on a regular basis.


Or have the CentOS users change their email profile so that a copy
is forwarded to the CentOS boxes. Of course the CentOS boxes need
static ip's for this to work.

Use script. Type script logfile.txt, it will open a new shell.
After that, everything you type and the output of commands will go to
the terminal and to the logfile. After that, just use exit or Ctrl-D
to exit the shell, it will stop logging. For more details, man
script. It's part of the util-linux rpm, so you'll certainly have it
installed already.

You make the snapshot with a given size. That size should be large 
enough to hold all expected _changed_  /or/  _new_  stuff. Whatever is 
not changed or new, lvm simply points back to the original lv. If you 
need to add more space to the snapshot, do an lvextend on it.

[CentOS] redirecting outside connections to https on apache

2008-04-14 Thread ankush grover
Hi friends,

There are about 15 applications hosted on different in our
infrastructure mostly running on apache/iis/tomcat. We have a frontend
apache server running on Centos 4.4 64bit which make these
applications accessible to outside world.

For the applications which are running on tomcat we are running
jkmount to make these applications available without mentioning tomcat
ports. For apache/iis applications we are using ProxyPass. The issue
we are facing is that we are not able to make these applications
accessible through https automatically means if the user is not from
within the LAN then the http link should automatically redirected to
https. We already have GoDaddy stamped ssl certificate on this apache
frontend server but we are struggling for rules for outside world.

What is the best way to make these applications accessible to outside
world through https connections only that is if somebody use
http://xx.xx.com/xx to use the application it should be redirected to
https we don't have the requirement for https connections from within
the LAN but definitely for outside connections.

JkMount /team/* team
JkMount /team team

Then we have rules for this in the workers.properties file


ProxyPass /public http://my.testing.com/public
ProxyPassReverse /public https://my.testing.com/public


Please let me know do you need any further inputs

 accessible through https automatically means if the user is not from
 within the LAN then the http link should automatically redirected to
 https. We already have GoDaddy stamped ssl certificate on this apache
 frontend server but we are struggling for rules for outside world.

 What is the best way to make these applications accessible to outside
 world through https connections only that is if somebody use
 http://xx.xx.com/xx to use the application it should be redirected to
 https we don't have the requirement for https connections from within
 the LAN but definitely for outside connections.

 JkMount /team/* team
 JkMount /team team

 Then we have rules for this in the workers.properties file


 ProxyPass /public http://my.testing.com/public
 ProxyPassReverse /public https://my.testing.com/public

You can force to ssl by using something like this with mod_rewrite

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [R,L]

This is for one system.  I have another one that I've been working on

that it is connected to (haven't tried adding 'spanning-tree portfast'

indeed, most of the snapshot systems I've seen to date have a 'revert'

[CentOS] Installing Centos 5 on HP DL140 G3

2008-04-14 Thread Kai Schaetzl
I want to install CentOS 5.1 with hardware RAID on an HP DL140 G3 server 
that I have here for testing. It prompts me for a storage controller. 
According to this readme page for the latest driver at
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p1463703615/v44436/mpt
linux-4.00.13.01-2.rhel5.i686.dd.gz.txt
CentOS 5 should already contain a default driver version contained in the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installation CD
I would rather like to use that than go the complicated route of providing 
the latest HP driver. That HP Internal Port SAS/SATA HBA with RAID 
actually is a RAID controller from LSILogic and I tried to load all four 
LSILogic drivers provided on the driver list, but none is accepted.
Does somebody have experience with this server/RAID controller and can 
tell me if I can go somehow with the drivers provided by CentOS 5.1 or do 
I need to go with the drivers provided by HP?

well, if it works before you did X  Y, then either X or Y probably 
broke it, so I'd probably try to back out Y and see if its OK.  Of 
course, its also possible backing out Y doesn't quite return it to the 
state it was in prior to the installation of Y, whereupon the next thing 
to try would be starting over, clean install the base system, verify 
functionality, install X (the centos updates) and verify functionality, 
then try Y (Zenoss) again... if it breaks only after that last step, the 
logical conclusion is that something Zenoss did broke it, whereupon I'd 
have to suggest going back to that community rather than this one.

 A strategic decision is the last thing that pops up in my mind when

 You don't switch distributions because you cannot solve something (or 
 because people are not helping you to solve something). Especially not if 
 it is something that a Google search could have helped you with.

I suspect a difference in ... age, background, personality causes our
different POV on this.

As soon as reading the OP, I deduced that little or no research was done
and no attempt to RTFM had occured. This could be wrong, but it's
irrelevant to me.

That is the OP's problem. I make it a rule to (*try*) not let other's
problems become mine. Especially of an emotional nature.

I realize that is easier said than done. Especially if one has invested
dedicated work and effort. It does take a fair amount of effort to just
to maintain this attitude. When I was youg and full of piss and vinegar,
I 1) didn't know the rule and 2) would have failed miserably regardless.

Now I am able to figure that the strategy of a lot of folks (based on
observation) is to lay as much effort onto others as possible,
minimizing their own effort. This no longer bothers me *as much* as it
used to. It's like getting pissed off because it is raining.

However, having said all that, my response was not intended to be a
criticism. It was only meant to encourage a less ... *reactive* response
to things such as this, which really only ends up wasting your own time.
If the OP is not inclined to do the research it is doubtful that
anything we post here would have much influence.

I *do* sometimes try to ... educate folks, but only selectively as I
*think* I see something indicating the poster may be amenable to such
education.

 
 But apparently it works to mention switching distributions :)

Only if the OP *thinks* it is a successful bullying* tactic. Then some
satisfaction might be derived. But if such a tactic fails to provoke any
response at all, chance of satisfaction is reduced, IMO.

But it's really just a style difference ('twixt you and me, e.g.). I
really don't have any animosity toward anyone who defends themselves
or their project.


 
 Maybe I should go back to Slackware ?

*chuckle*

That's a stategic decision!  ;-)

what was posted. OP was just sharing a strategic decision that might be
made. I found nothing offensive there.
A strategic decision is the last thing that pops up in my mind when 
reading that mail.


You don't switch distributions because you cannot solve something (or 
because people are not helping you to solve something). Especially not if 
it is something that a Google search could have helped you with.


I suspect a difference in ... age, background, personality causes our
different POV on this.

As soon as reading the OP, I deduced that little or no research was done
and no attempt to RTFM had occured. This could be wrong, but it's
irrelevant to me.

That is the OP's problem. I make it a rule to (*try*) not let other's
problems become mine. Especially of an emotional nature.

I realize that is easier said than done. Especially if one has invested
dedicated work and effort. It does take a fair amount of effort to just
to maintain this attitude. When I was youg and full of piss and vinegar,
I 1) didn't know the rule and 2) would have failed miserably regardless.

Now I am able to figure that the strategy of a lot of folks (based on
observation) is to lay as much effort onto others as possible,
minimizing their own effort. This no longer bothers me *as much* as it
used to. It's like getting pissed off because it is raining.

However, having said all that, my response was not intended to be a
criticism. It was only meant to encourage a less ... *reactive* response
to things such as this, which really only ends up wasting your own time.
If the OP is not inclined to do the research it is doubtful that
anything we post here would have much influence.

I *do* sometimes try to ... educate folks, but only selectively as I
*think* I see something indicating the poster may be amenable to such
education.


I have just started to not answer posters that look like they habitually don't 
do any initial work or research. Kind of a mental blacklist when I remember 
the OP. Some of them just seem to stand out.

Christy...

pirut is the package manager and it could a number of things that could
cause that...perhaps a problem with the rpmdb or a problem with your
python installation...

First...make sure that there isn't a copy of yum or pirut running...

service yum-updatesd stop

ps aux|grep pirut
and kill whatever process shows up...
likewise...
ps aux|grep yum
and kill whatever process shows up

then, perhaps just to clean up your rpmdb...

rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* # and answer yes to delete each one

then rebuild the db...

rpm --rebuilddb

Then after all that, you might try pirut again...I would venture to
guess that most of us don't use the GUI package manager.

Is Zenoss running? that uses python so if it's running, python would
seem to be working.

The logs are your friend.../var/log/messages is where most of this stuff
will be logged.

[CentOS] yum update did not complete

2008-04-14 Thread Jerry Geis

I was doing a yum update today.
It downloaded all the packages.
was doing the next part and my remote connection was lost.
so ssh session was killed.

When I logged back in I am not sure if the update is done or not. I 
presume not.

I presume it died with my remote session.

I do a yum update now and it returns as if there is nothing to update.
last I saw it was 30 out of 312 in the installation section.

What next?

Check /var/log/yum.log and look at the time/dates of what was/was not done.

Re: [CentOS] Installing Centos 5 on HP DL140 G3

 I want to install CentOS 5.1 with hardware RAID on an HP DL140 G3 server

Check your BIOS Settings for the controller. May be that it needs to set
to Mass Storage if available in the HP Bios. I am not a die hard HP
person so check the settings available. I know for a fact this is a
problem with other manufactures.

Maybe there is a HP Guy or Gal in here some where that can elaborate
some more on this for you.

 According to this readme page for the latest driver at
 ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p1463703615/v44436/mpt
 linux-4.00.13.01-2.rhel5.i686.dd.gz.txt
 CentOS 5 should already contain a default driver version contained in the
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installation CD

Then again the MPT Drivers for that controller may have been dropped for
that controller. I do know several have been End of Lifed I know this
to be true for other high end server manufactures. Support for them
ended in RHEL 4. So that would = CentOS 4 as well.

 I would rather like to use that than go the complicated route of providing 
 the latest HP driver. That HP Internal Port SAS/SATA HBA with RAID 
 actually is a RAID controller from LSILogic and I tried to load all four 
 LSILogic drivers provided on the driver list, but none is accepted.

See bios explaination above.

 Does somebody have experience with this server/RAID controller and can 
 tell me if I can go somehow with the drivers provided by CentOS 5.1 or do 
 I need to go with the drivers provided by HP?

HP raids tend to have custom microcode to implement various HP specific 
features such as media interchange between all their different systems, 
so they aren't likely going to work with the hardware vendors generic 
OEM drivers.

[CentOS] SSH Question relating to Public and Private Keys

2008-04-14 Thread Clint Dilks

Hi People,

The Linux Environment I am responsible for is using ssh key pairs to 
allow access to a number or accounts on a number Linux Servers.  I 
currently have the opportunity to re-design some of this.  So I would 
like to tap into peoples experiences to see what might be some good 
changes to make.  Specifically I have a couple of questions


1. Currently all of the key pairs we are using have empty passphrases is 
it worth the effort of changing this and setting up ssh-agent compared 
to what you gain in security by doing this ?


2. At this stage I am going to use RSA Keys of the default size, is this 
generally the best approach?



Thanks for any thoughts, and have a nice day :)
