CentOS4.4 ia64 CDs
 and kernel version is 2.6.9-42.EL and I need the Cluster Suite Package 
for the same.


 I tried to google-out and i can't find out the Clustersuite package 
for CentOS4.4 and

 I findout the CentOS4.5 Clustersuite package from CentOS Website

That was the last key piece.

William Maltby and Matt Hyclak pointed out the first vital bits of  
updating yum, sqlite and and then limiting the repos that the system  
banged on.


Johnny (HappyFunBall) Hughes and Karanbir Singh noted that metadata- 
parser would need upgrading as well. [Many thanks for the hard work  
they do on CentOS!]


So, to summarize:

Download the latest RPMS for:

yum
yum-metadata-parser
sqlite
python
python-sqlite

You will have to manually satisfy any additional dependencies.

Once done, I was able to "yum -y update" to my heart's content.

It is efficient in terms of spared free time. Go with

Yes the big win with thin clients is that one install is all you need 
for the 25 seats and there's not much you can do from the terminals to 
break it.  However, you would need something like a dual xeon server 
with 4 gigs of RAM to act as the server.  If you have to go with 
standalone workstations, you'll probably want some fast image-based 
cloning method to install and maintain them. Clonezilla is pretty good 
for that: http://www.clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/.

[CentOS] mdmonitor not triggering program on fail events

[Ow Mun Heng]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this since I want to get it done "the correct
way"

I'm trying to make mdmonitor to execute a program when it detects a fail
event automatically.

Currently, from what I see, init is calling mdmonitor with these options

mdadm --monitor --scan -f

(note that the --program is not there)

and this is in my /etc/mdadm.conf

MAILADDR root
PROGRAM /root/program_2_run.sh

short of hacking the mdmonitor script to hardcode the program there, is
there an alternate, more elegant way?

Thanks.

Sounds similar to the mod_jk connector in apache to connect to
tomcat. When I had to deal with this I setup a dedicated apache
instance on each system running tomcat whose sole purpose for
existence was for testing that connector.

So say setup an apache instance on another port, and have it
direct all traffic back to mod_jserv, then hit the apache
instance with http. It's not perfect but at least for me apache
was a lot more stable than tomcat especially in such a basic
configuration, so it worked well as a way to test the health
of the mod_jk connector.

The Sun JDK provides tools for pulling info from a running JVM.

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/trouble/other/tools6-Unix.html

Not jserv (time for an upgrade?) specific, but attaches directly to
the underlying JVM. The one I've played with is jmap. Of course, you
need to be running a recent JVM. I do not proclaim to be an expert
with these tools, but it may be of some use in your situation.

Re: [CentOS] Re: TFP inside firewall

[Filipe Brandenburger]

If conntrack can track the TFTP sessions, then you should be able to
filter it using -m state in iptables.

iptables -A ... -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A ... -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 69 -j ACCEPT

You can have one rule in INPUT and the other in OUTPUT, or both in
FORWARD with different -i and -o interfaces.

If you give more details on your current topology, what's the access
you want to allow, and what are your current rules, it might be easier
to help you accomplish that exactly.

HTH,

Hyperic looks interesting, but anytime someone claims "Zero-Touch
Systems Management" I have to raise a skeptical eyebrow.  I will take
a look at it and install the demo, but our company has already
invested in a different monitoring system.   I was really hoping for
something simple, perhaps a status page, jserv management port, shell
script perhaps...

I tried pulling up port 8008 in a web browser, but it doesn't work
quite like that.  Apache is configured with mod_jserv like this:


ApJServMount /servlets ajpv12://hostname.web.domain.com:8008/root
ApjServAction .html /servlets/gnujsp


Simply pulling up the URL in a web browser always returns an error:

Status: 400 Bad Request
Servlet-Error: Malformed data sent to JServ

> I'm not familiar with jserv but it looks like it serves a purpose similar

Yes, it is very similar to tomcat.  Both have a java process, with a
minimum and maximum heap size, etc.  Unfortunately I don't know of an
easy way to test the java process to make sure it is healthy, short of
pulling up the front-end URL in a web browser. The problem here is, it
is possible that one URL could be down, but the other ones still
functioning correctly.   We don't want to restart java just because of
a false positive on one URL.

We are not quite having to restart ten times a day, but there actually
is no chance of a code fix in my situation since this is deprecated
code, and the customer is not willing/able to upgrade.  This is why we
want to simply auto-restart the JVM when the server gets into this
state.

We have such a load-balancing device but it sits in front of the web
server, not behind (the web servers are load balanced too).  There is
an apache plugin that handles the jserv load balancing.

[CentOS] Not seeing all memory in CentOS 5.1 x86_64

Non-laptop media readers are usually USB which means that they use the
standard usb-storage module.

"High-definition audio" usually refers to the snd-hda-intel ALSA module.
I haven't yet had any luck getting the one on my laptop to work with
CentOS 5.1, but that's not a definitive contraindication.

[CentOS] Network FS w/o user setup

[Ted Miller]

Is there a file system + configuration that will let me share a directory, 
and anyone who has access to something in that directory on the server will 
also have access (and lack of access) to the same files from the client? 
Clients will be Centos5, Win2K, WinXP.  Server is Centos5.


To put it another way, all users have accounts on the server.  I don't want 
to have to set up ANY user information on the server, other than what I set 
up to control local access.  I just want to say "Share /vmware" and have it 
available, to the same users who can access it locally.


With Samba I have to maintain duplicate user lists, password lists, and 
share access lists.  I have not been able to find a clear instructions on 
how NFS4 handles this, but what I found didn't seem any better than Samba.


I don't mind implementing ACLs on the server if it will do what I need, but 
I can't find anything that says it will save me any work either.


Looking for a better way,

Good suggestion.  Upgraded yum, sqlite, and python.  Also added enough 
swap space via a swapfile to let yum do what it wants.  Now it just eats 
memory until it hits a 4GB wall and then dies.

There is also a python-sqlite package that might have been updated.

Is this a continuation of the massive update seen earlier in
this/another thread?

If so, I still think you need to select a *few* of the packages manually
and upgrade them to reduce the massive dependancy processing. At some
point, enough "foundation" pieces will be in place to run the rest en
masse.

It might be instructive to see if swap is actually being used. In
another VT, top, free and other utils will report swap usage. Also,
swapon with no parameters will report swap usage.

Also, /proc/vmstat might have some useful information (if you dig enough
to actually know the meaning of the parameters).

Also, on my cat sys/vm/swappiness has 60 as a value. I know some folks
alter this stuff to beneficial/detrimental effect.

Hello,

  I don't know jserv or about eventual specific jserv support, but Hyperic
might
be part of the answer. I know it can provide metrics about Tomcat and JVMs,
and application/server specific plugins can be written without too much
effort.
It's by far the most powerful/complete monitoring solution I've seen,
providing support out of the box or with plugins for a bunch of services and
applications.
Check
http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/hypcomm/HyperForge/#HyperFORGE-pluginforge
for existing plugins.
Perhaps what you want can be done with a JMX plugin ?

Really worth a try anyway...

How about setting up a cron to monitor it and auto restart if it's not
responding?

wget -q --timeout=30 http://localhost:8008/ -O /dev/null || (command to
restart jserv)

I'm not familiar with jserv but it looks like it serves a purpose similar
to tomcat, just a much older code base.

I've used similar scripts for tomcat in the past, such as this cron
*/5 * * * * /bin/grep -q \"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space\"
/logs/tomcat/web/1/run.latest.log  1>/dev/null 2>&1 && export
MYHOST=`hostname -s` && echo \"Restarting Tomcat on $MYHOST -
OutOfMemoryError\" | mail -s \"[$MYHOST] Restarting Tomcat due to
OutOfMemoryError\" [EMAIL PROTECTED] &&  /etc/init.d/appname restart
1>/dev/null 2>&1

When the app had a memory leak it helped me sleep better at night, as
the apps were restarting about 10x a day until the developers found the
source of the leak. Fortunately the app restarted reliably 99.9% of the
time. Another place I worked at before that had an app that was so poor
that you had to babysit it all the time, the number of things that could
go wrong was really too much work for us to automate it in a reasonable
amount of time.

Ideally the "load balancer" should be performing "health checks" against
the back end nodes and stop sending traffic to them if they are no
longer healthy. I'm not familiar with the load balancing method your
using, only with bigger load balancers like F5 BigIP.

Sam: Having both plugins installed is probably *not* a good thing to
do. As was previously suggested, probably best to go with Priorities.
Read this page:

I think the number of Packages being excluded (318) is in the ballpark.

If you do not need CentOS for the reasons that most here use it then why 
don't you use Fedora if that gives you what you want? No one will be angry

I'm not a hardware guru, but the CPU and chipset work just fine with 
CentOS. lm_sensors may not work, though. If they have a 4850 machine for 
only a few bucks more, I'd go with that.

Easiest I have found is configure the system to use serial console and
connect a system to the console. When the system panics it will output
the panic to the console which you can then copy/paste to a file and
post to a mailing list or support forum for help.

Actually, the question grew out of a much more basic one, which I
asked on the GNOME list and was told, why don't you build it yourself?
 (I now have many answers for that one!)

What I was originally looking for was the location of the gnome config
file where I could manipulate the default colors in my windows (I
really don't like gray).  I poked and googled around some, but there
are SO many gnome files I was unable to locate the one that contains
this config

Thanks.

HW guru I am not. Linux guru I am not. I have a suggestion for you,
which I believe is a valid one: Take a Knoppix Live CD (that you've
previously tested on another box and know  is working properly) or a
CentOS Live CD, with you to the store. Boot the box with it and see if
the HW works with Linux, before you buy. Preferably, do this on *the*
box you are going to buy, in case the HW in the floor sample and the
one you are going to buy are not identical. Sounds very cheap and I'd
like to have one too.  Does Best Buy let one bring something back, for
a refund, within a certain number of days, if they are not satisfied
with the product?

I am not sure you can have your cake and eat it too on a single machine.
At the very least, building a newer Gnome for CentOS 5 sounds like a big
timesink. There are probably all kinds of library issues.

If you'd like the latest desktop apps, then perhaps it would be easier
to choose Fedora or Ubuntu for your desktop, and connect to your more
stable CentOS 5 servers remotely. Or, run Fedora or Ubuntu in a VM.

What would you expect? CentOS is based off of RHEL, which tries to
stick to older more stable/tested software. Your using the wrong
distribution if you want the latest and greatest.

Use Ubuntu, Fedora, or something else.

As a casual user I'm happy with the gnome that comes with my Debian
Etch install which seems to be somewhere around 2.14-2.16, and whatever
version comes with Ubuntu 7.10(haven't turned that laptop on in a couple

Really, what did you expect? Do you expect folks out there to constantly

'mdadm' writes a listing of the devices in the array to the md
superblock and orders them by number,major,minor. You cannot add
another device to the array with the same tuple.

If you dd the first sector of the drive though you will duplicate
the partition table and grub boot loader to the other drive. Then
md-device-mapper will take care of copying the data over.

[CentOS] Newer GNOME than base release

[MHR]

I have asked about this before, but I don't have a workable answer yet.

I would like to know if there is a way to install a more recent GNOME
package on CentOS 5.x than 2.16.0.

1) GNOME Bugzilla does not support this version any more - all bugs go
into the bit bucket.

2) Having been exposed to Fedora 8 at work and seeing how much more
flexible GNOME 2.22 is, I would REALLY like to take a shot at using it
on my CentOS systems.

3) I asked about this on the GNOME list and I was told I should build
it, and that jhbuild or garnome would do the job for me.  This has not
been my experience - both of them have major hangups building on my
home desktop (the 64-bit hybrid CentOS 5.1 environment).

4) Johnny suggested I try mock to build in a chroot, pure 64-bit
environment.  I was unable to locate a mock that actually installed
and worked on my system.  (Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm the only person for
whom this does not work.  Heard it, can't believe it, must be doing
something most others don't, whatever  ;*)

I have trouble believing that the ONLY ways to get a newer GNOME are
to wait for CentOS 6, run a different distro (not likely) or build it
myself.  This is Linux, after all, isn't it?  (That's a rhetorical
question - no answer required, unless those /really are/ the only
options)

you can 'dd' the MBR and then re-add the partitions to the raid for

Or sfdisk -d /dev/sdX | sfdisk /dev/sdY
where x is source and y is the target.
This will work across drives that have slight geometry differences.


What I was hoping to do was to take the grub setup, the partitioning

He already knows that sendmail accepts connections. Maillog is of no help

Ok.. I sort of figured that was the problem, but I just removed

tried a normal "yum update" it fails again just as before.  As far as I 
can tell, the files are coming from rpmforge and not dag.  I don't have 
his in the repos.  Looking at the index list on Dag's website, it shows 
the latest clamav as version 0.92 and not 0.93 which is coming from 
rpmforge.  How do I make sure all the stuff comes from rpmforge and not 
somewhere else?


Yes, I remember the discussion from earlier this year, and I got a good

Add "ignore-pkgs=clam*" to the kbs repo definitions.
Do you actually have things installed from kbs-extras?
KBS and rpmforge don't play too well together since they have some duplication 
by package name but not versions.

[Scott Silva]

Any help would be really appreciated.

One approach would be to use the find command given above to generate a
list of files that have changed.  Then pass that list to rsync via the
'--files-from' option to transfer them to the other server.

you can 'dd' the MBR and then re-add the partitions to the raid for

Or sfdisk -d /dev/sdX | sfdisk /dev/sdY
where x is source and y is the target.
This will work across drives that have slight geometry differences.

now that I've looked your errors over, there appears to be a clash over
clamav/clamav-db/clamd between rpmforge and Karanbirs repositories.

Perhaps just remove them and re-install them...

yum remove clamd clamav clamav-db clamav-milter
and then reinstall...
yum install clamd clamav clamav-db clamav-milter

You may want to 'disable' rpmforge if you're going to use kbs packages
or tell rpmforge to ignore-pkgs=clam*

The files are coming from sourceforge



Please elaborate. There are several repo's that have clamav. I recommend 
using rpmforge. Or do you mean *rpm*forge when you write sourceforge? 
Problems with the latest clamav rpms have been reported several times on 
this list, read back! I personally haven't had any problems.

Kai,

   I get the two repo's mixed up from time to time.  Anyhow, it works 
well if I don't try to update the machine, but I have to remove it to do 
a yum update till I get this problem sorted out.  It should have been

do you have dag repository installed? if not, you should since it

Ok.. I guess I should have been a bit more exact in my phrases.. No, I 
don't have Dag's repo enabled, as most of the time it would fail when I 
tried to use it.  I guess the URL has probably changed as well.  As for 
the source, yes, that should have been rpmforge instead of sourceforge.  
If you have the current Dag repo URL, I'd appreciate it if you'd include 
it in a reply, or just send it to me off list.

Please elaborate. There are several repo's that have clamav. I recommend 
using rpmforge. Or do you mean *rpm*forge when you write sourceforge? 
Problems with the latest clamav rpms have been reported several times on 
this list, read back! I personally haven't had any problems.

[CentOS] mod_security

[Tony Schreiner]

I've set up a CentOS 5 system as a server for http installs.

Currently up-to-date with
httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3
mod_security-2.1.7-1.el5

my installs were failing just after the root password set up, before  
software selection.


I tracked it down to a server error 500 and it was due to  
mod_security claiming the comps.xml file was too big


The error:
[Tue Jun 10 09:59:01 2008] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]  
ModSecurity: Output filter: Content-Length (934390) over the limit  
(524288). [hostname "XXX.XXX"] [uri "/install/centos/5/x86_64/ 
repodata/comps.xml"] [unique_id "VJNb-4inMQIAACd0XcwA"]



This is set in  /etc/httpd/mod_security.d/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
SecResponseBodyLimit 524288


I increased that size and all is now well, but can somebody enlighten  
me as to the purpose of that setting?


I've started reading the document in
/usr/share/doc/mod_security-2.1.7/doc/modsecurity2-apache-reference.pdf
is there other good documentation for mod_security?

You could dd the MBR to a file and then examine both. You could diff them, 
I think they should be identical, should they?

I was aware about the latter, not the former. You are right, it even replaces 
the sendmail.mc if I rename it. Good to know if it ever gets replaced by an 
update (I use my own mc file).

The point is that his sendmail.cf from his backup (=before the reboot) and 
after the reboot are the same. So, this scenario doesn't apply.

The rebuild creates a backup at sendmail.cf.bak, btw.

He already knows that sendmail accepts connections. Maillog is of no help 
(maybe with a higher log level, I know that you can get even more info with 
14). He has to identify the cause of the timeout and the first step is to 
identify the phase where it happens.

I already know how to install grub on the second drive.  The issue is
that this is a production server and I'm trying to avoid rebooting it if
possible.

I'm looking for a way to determine whether grub is installed on a drive
WITHOUT having to actually attempt to boot from it.  If I redo the
installation, then I can be sure it's installed, but if it's already
there, I'd rather leave it alone.  There's no point in messing with it
if it's already installed.

You might want to add the correct hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network, so
that the change will survive reboots ...

Yes, you can enable diskless booting on a stock Centos if you work at 
it, but if you install the k12ltsp distro it will come up working out of 
the box and with 2 NICs it will be configured to run one interface 
connected to your normal internet-facing LAN and boot clients connected 
to the other using a private address range - and it will NAT for other 
machines on the private side.  It also comes with squidguard and the 
other things you are likely to need for a classroom/lab setup - and a 
mail list with a lot of people with experience in that environment. 
Just be sure to get the 5EL version which is Centos based - the others 
are currently outdated.

Re: [CentOS] Confirming grub installation

[Peter Farrell]

When installing CentOS - sometimes the RAID-1 /boot partition, usually
/dev/md0 fails to boot.

The bug is known and exists on the bugtracker for CentOS as well as RedHat.

The fix is to re-install GRUB on on each partition of the RAID-1 array.

I think you could use the same method to answer your question.

1. boot server w/ any 'Disk-1' of an installation set
at boot prompt type 'linux rescue'
Continue boot.

2. First double check your disks with the mdadm utility
# mdadm -QD /dev/md0
Make a note of every disk (you can ignore the spare)
example: /dev/{sda1, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, sde1}

3. drop into the GRUB prompt
# grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)



grub> device (hd0) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)

Rinse - Repeat, etc.

4. exit from GRUB and reboot.


If you then want to test it, disconnect one of your drives - or just
drop into grub  at boot
and tell it to boot from the partition of another drive.

-Peter
