I've been thinking about that too, ever since I did a yum update yesterday on
my test machine. I had the centos-line commented out and instead had a
rhel-line in there. AFAICT, the update went through fine, incl a kernel
update. But this might be a potential gotcha'.

Use SELinux tricks even if I don't have it installed? I'm not that familiar
with SELinux, except for knowing it's a security hardened something or other.

Nah, not Oracle. We run Orcacle on Windows here. It's a constant pain for our
db-admin. Main concern are a handful of proprietary molecular building and
calculation suites. The *nix-group here uses computer aided drug design. There
are db's involved but they are installed and run from each software suite, w/o
involvement of Oracle or some such.

I should add to this that I'm able to run X-windows programs on my

Re: [CentOS] 10 Gb with CentOS

[Jeff Kinz]

Hi, for the sake of the the CentOS email servers, would you
please turn off attaching the additional copy of your email in
HTML format?

You are sending your email out in both plain text and HTML
format, which more than doubles the size of your email, thereby
doubling the amount of bandwidth the CentOS email server has
to use to send it to the many many people on the list.  This
increases the cost of sending out your email by almost 100% but
doesn't provide any more actual content.

to see how to turn off HTML in many email clients look at
this web page:
http://expita.com/nomime.html#programs

This is desired by the CentOS mailing list rules. per:

1. Please turn off HTML in your e-mail client for these mailing
lists.  We have several subscribers who read the list with
text only readers and they can't easily read HTML formatted
e-mails. There is a place (somewhere) for the flowery stationary
and themes that some mail clients offer ... but this is not
it. Again, please only post text e-mails to these mailing lists.

Quoted from:
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16

Of course!  I guess when I ran the check on md0, it finished before I

check.

Also, I just noticed this:

If you have lots of KS files you can use %include

   %include mysite-standard-stuff.ks

In that file add standard stuff like:

timezone US/Los_Angeles
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
auth --useshadow --enablemd5
selinux --enforcing

Keep it simple.
There is a tool to flatten KS files out there that can be of help
(used it once).
Use a revision control system for your KS files too.

The kernel is a massive C program.
Download the source that matches your kernel and make yourself a set of  tags
(ctags or gtags what ever you like).

When it blew up you should have some points in the stack with symbol names.
Walk through the call stack and look at the input and output of each
function with
the source in front of you.
See where that (and a good search on the web) takes you

   http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/kdump_slides.pdf

If you made any source changes look for errors in your code  ;-)

If you are running stock mainline code -- file a bug and if you find the source
of the bug first do an add to the report with what you  think the error is.

[CentOS] XDMCP - no GDM login, only gray screen with X

yes, some 10gb cards are, yes there are people using them. I dont see 
what the issue is, are you conducting a random survey of some sorts ?

I'll like to know from others their experience using 10 Gb LAN with CentOS 4 & 
5.

There is a chance here at work to change our backbone network to 10 Gb LAN if 
this get approved (by the CIO) i'll like to include to this project some 10 Gb 
Network Cards for our CentOS servers in order to connect them directly to the 
new backbone.

Thank you in advance

If there are 1 files it might look at 1 different places including
device names kernel names, shell features, kernel modules and more.
i.e all the things that 'configure' might know about and more.

/etc/redhat-release is the most common.   N.B. You may need to restore
the CentOS words often to permit CentOS updates to do the right thing.

If /etc/redhat-release is not the answer you may have to look harder at the
failing process with strace  or even SELinux tricks to see what it does
look at.

If it is Oracle, Given the price of Oracle -- just purchase the RH product.
It is common that the expensive packages are the most restrictive and putative.

Some but not all 10 Gb network cards are supported.
Some driver support is better than other...

You can download the latest CentOS and look at the driver
list for out of the box support.   Since CentOS is built from redhat
packaged source you can also inspect the release note on both
the CentOS and Red Hat web pages.

One caution is that a current kernel may support your card
but the kernel in the install media may not if it is a very new
part.   This is easy to solve if you understand it but a road block
if you do not.

Do some bandwidth arithmetic and make sure that the slot you
plug your card into can support the bandwidth you expect.
Same for system memory  I do know that the bandwidth of
my little KIM-1 6502 processor based system cannot support 10Gb.

Do some homework there are some good/ better/ best 10Gb parts out there now.

One example:
  http://service.chelsio.com/site-bin/readme.cgi?FILE=linux/t3/README-cxgb3toe
Since RHEL is supported CentOS is 'supportable'.

Other vendors have cards and support too but a Chelsio  driver
engineer bought me a beer last month
or did I buy him one. so much beer, so much good tequila and so
little time.  well never mind.

If you're going to do any packet filtering, I've had good luck with 
Shorewall for handling iptables rules.


Otherwise, assuming there's no NAT lurking somewhere in your request, 
turning on IP forwarding should do it.

[CentOS] JFS in CentOS

[Hal Martin]

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to CentOS, but I've been using linux as my main 
operating system on both the desktop and server ends for the past 4 years.


I currently have a PIII server with two 160GB IDE hard drives in it, in 
a virtual RAID 1 array. At the time of installation, the only FS choices 
for the largest partition, 120GB, were ext2 and ext3. I chose ext3, but 
now am wishing to reformat the partition as JFS to skip long file system 
check times.


I've done Google searches regarding the topic, which lead me to added 
centos.plus to my repo list, and installed the only kernel I see as 
being available from CentOSPlus, and yet I still have no JFS modules 
loaded or anywhere in /lib/modules/. I installed JFSUtils from the 
CentOSPlus repo, but have no way to use the partition that has been 
created (by myself, using mkfs.jfs). Short of compiling a kernel with 
JFS support from the source package provided with CentOS, I don't know 
what to do.


Has anyone else used JFS on CentOS 5.2 successfully? How did you do it?

Thanks,
Hal

My point, as I'm sure you guessed or deduced, was that requests for
help on this list should be at least a little more descriptive than a
single FLA.

And yes, I didn't know the answer, although I did understand the
question.  It's like the bottom posters, the "let's include the whole
25 message thread" posters, and the "guess what _I_ want" posters, and
also for those on the list who really don't know enough to understand
minimalistic requests like this.

Follow on to my first reply. DisplayMate is not only Diagnostics. It
helps you set up your monitor and video card correctly. This is
professional quality stuff, but if your box isn't dual boot with
Windows, it won't run. Maybe they have a version that will run on
Linux now. I bought it, years ago.  If you can run it, they are *the*
experts.

Mark: Hook up another monitor and see if it has the same behavior. If
so, get an RMA for the video card. If not, change the video card and

DKMS: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/manpage.html
You should use "dkms remove " first. Reconfigure the standard
graphics. What is advisable to you is that you use the newest non beta dkms
driver for your card. You may have to hand fetch it. The reason I say this
because I do not your Unix/Linux skill level. It will be a lot easier on you
doing this because you will not have to hand build the driver module every
kernel upgrade. Or copy over to the new kernel modules dir.

Well, when the nVIDIA screen pops up (before login and between
logins), it says "BETA DRIVER" right below the nVIDIA logo.

If I do downgrade (which I may well do), where do I get the right
driver?  I pulled these from rpmforge after my old driver didn't seem
to like the new monitor.

I'm all for not stressing the monitor - it's stressing me!

[CentOS] Question on Wireless Setup

[Ashish Vijaywargiya]

Hello Akemi & Others,

Today I reformated my laptop Dell Precision M90 and installed the
Fresh version of CentOs 5.2 and then took all the available update.
In that update I got Kernel version update and now I am on
Kernel-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.centos.plus.

I kept a file iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode into the /lib/firmware/

Now after restarting the computer my computer it is giving the
following message on the startup.
Bringing up interface wmaster :
Determining IP information for wmaster  SIOCSIFLAGS : Operation
not supported.

In the network manager it is showing my device i.e Intel Pro 3945
adapter but in the Inactive state.
Please give me some suggestion so that I can figure out this problem.

Thanks in advance.

The video card is an nvidia ge7100gs and I have the beta driver from
rpmforge (under dkms).


JohnStanley Writes:

Get rid of the BETA Driver. Period! The beta driver is what is called a hot
driver (excerts to much stress on the vidieo card). DKMS is Nice but down
grade the driver. Im not much of a DKMS fan so I build my own nvidia drivers
as modules. Hopefully the card is still good.

Been doing it so long I can't remember whom to credit, but I use the
following snippet added to the end of ~/.bash_profile:

#*#
AGENTFILE=$HOME/.ssh/current-ssh-agent
test -f $AGENTFILE && . $AGENTFILE

# Agent is running but knows no identities.
echo SSH-AGENT:  No identities.  Remember to run ssh-add!
  fi
else
  # No agent is running or AGENTFILE is lost - start a new one.
  if ps xo comm | grep -q "^ssh-agent$"; then
echo SSH-AGENT:  Stray ssh-agent\?  Killing it.
killall -TERM ssh-agent
  fi
  echo SSH-AGENT:  A new agent started.  Remember to run ssh-add!
  ssh-agent | grep -v '^echo' >$AGENTFILE
fi
. $AGENTFILE
unset AGENTFILE
#*#

and this to ~/.bash_logout:

#*#
if test $(w -hsf $(id -un) | wc -l) = 1; then ssh-add -D fi
#*#

For KDE one can use a script "ssh-add.sh" containing the following in
~/.kde/Autostart to prompt for the passphrase:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
konsole --vt_sz 60x4--noframe  --nomenubar --notoolbar --noscrollbar  -e ssh-add

Watch for line-wraps on the above, and remember to
$ chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/ssh-add.sh

Thanks for the info, no need for it anymore, though. I use Putty on 
Windows and connect to machine A and then scp from B to C. (That's why I 
said "no GUI".) So I needed agent forwarding from A to B to C. I just 
realized that Pageant (from Putty) provides agent forwarding if I set the 
sessions to allow this. So, I now connect directly to B and scp to C and 
don't need to run the agent on B anymore as the chain is short enough.
The few times I need a forwarded session directly from the console I'll 
use the method Tony explained. Thank you both!

This could be a synchronization issue, but I have another thought
about your missing files.

What file systems do you have mounted?  Is there any chance that your
files got moved to a mount point that is now hiding any files that are
actually located under it?  Try unmounting any file system you don't
need and see what's there underneath.

It's probably not the case, but it doesn't hurt to look.

Let me know if it doesn't. I included it in the specfile as
Patch40 to go after the Patch9 (last one in CentOS Plus), but
I don't think that's needed.

In any case, if you look at the patch you will see it's one line only,
so it's really trivial.

Let me know if I can help with anything else to get this patch included!

[CentOS] Request for additional patch in CentOS Plus kernel

[Filipe Brandenburger]

Hi,

I have an Adaptec eSATA card, model 1225SA:
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/Controllers/Hardware/sata/entry/AAR-1225SA/

Although the chipset is sata_sil24, it is not recognized by default by
the kernel because its PCI ID is different than the ones recognized by
this driver on the CentOS kernel. The driver recognizes PCI IDs such
as 0x3132, 0x0242, 0x3131, but not 0x0244, which is the one this card
has.

I found out that it works with the latest kernel, and that the patch
to make it work only adds the 0x0244 PCI ID to the list of IDs
recognized by the sata_sil24 driver. Here is the patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=464b3286b4aa459059c6fda85ba55185fd21d9fc;hp=70a3143af87c6ca188107cbd49ab5eec2c86c456

Following the instructions on the Wiki, I built a custom kernel based
on the CentOS Plus kernel, but adding this patch. The adapter worked
as expected with that kernel.

So I ask: Would it be possible to incorporate this patch to the
default set of patches applied on the CentOS Plus kernel? I would
really appreciate it since that would make it easier for me to keep
updated without worrying about the card.

Thanks a lot!

[CentOS] Flaky graphics - need help nailing down the cause

[MHR]

This morning I noticed that my (new in July) monitor was behaving
strangely.  At first, it was odd parts of web page graphics that
didn't show up unless I scrolled up and down in the window, and then
they weren't displayed with any consistency.

Then I noticed that the screensaver failed to appear (computer was
locked, but graphics never showed on the monitor).  I tried running
mplayer to play a movie I have on the system, and the window remained
black (sound was fine).

When I move a window, parts of it (pixels scattered across the window)
don't refresh during the move OR even when it is done, unless I run
the mouse over them or, in the case of the menu bar, click on one of
the options.  The nautilus window that sometimes comes up after a
reboot was not fully painted with the text parts of the entries below
the mouse cursor on the screen until I ran the mouse over them, and
then only the ones I "touched" refreshed properly.

During the system shutdown and restart, the text is scrambled beyond
recognition, although the graphics during the boot, driver init and
login screen are fine.  Most of the screen after I log in shows up,
unless the default terminal and nautilus windows show up, and then
they're not all there (as above).

DVI-VGA: same problem either way
2.6.18-92.1.10 - 92.1.13: likewise (makes no difference)

The video card is an nvidia ge7100gs and I have the beta driver from
rpmforge (under dkms).  The base system is an ECS nFORCE4M-A with an
AMD Athlon 64x2 and 4GB of OCZ main memory.  The newest parts are the
main memory (upgraded from 2GB about two months ago) and the monitor
(new in July).  The m/b, COU and graphics card are all about 18 months
old.  I recently upgraded to the new 92.1.13 kernel.

Question:  Is this the monitor (most likely), the video card, the OS
or the base system, or something else I have not considered?  Is there
a good video test program I can use to diagnose this properly?

I have a two-year replacement warranty on the monitor, so I will use
it if I need to, and I think it's still under the manufacturer's
warranty anyway.

Thanks.

I'm not certain this is *the* way to do it, but...assuming you've
allowed the attachments in your MailScanner.conf and rules files and
want to resend them:

install sharutils via yum (this set includes uuencode which is used in
the next step
once that's done, this should send the stuff to the recipient:

# uuencode filename filename | mail -s "subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm sure that someone who knows more than I will post, but this worked
for me on CentOS 5.2 in my shared hosting environment.

There's a setting in MailScanner.conf which will allow saving the actual
queue files, not just the attachments...I changed this setting to 'yes'
to enable a more simple method (moving the qf* and df* files back to the
queue)
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = yes

YMMV..
HTH,

No amount of faking will make software for RHEL3 or 4 install on CentOS 5.
You can only do it on equal releases IE... RHEL 3 to CentOS 3 etc.

wget should only download 'the whole website' if you specify a -r

Interesting.  I'll give this a go on my own desktop system which is
running RAID 1.

You said above, "When this finishes...", but how do you know the check

There was nothing else after the last line.  I don't know exactly what

You need to either:

select and paste (to execute) the first two lines generated by the  
ssh-agent command


or run

ssh-agent $SHELL

which will not need the above step, but will start another shell, so  
you will need to exit twice to logout.

My local repo server is a mirror to centos internet servers and is
up2date with centos 4.7.

 

Where's the problem?

收件者: "'CentOS mailing list'" 
日期: 2008 10 1 星期三 上午 9:53

Hi all,

I'm looking to test out a solution with CentOS instead of our venerable
RHEL3-servers. Some of the software we use and need, requires for it to run on
RHEL. Figuring that CentOS is binary compatible with RHEL this should work
anyway. I also found out using Google that many programs look in
/etc/redhat-release file to check that the right OS is there.

After checking the contents on a CentOS machine I have available, as well as
one running RHEL3 and 4, my guess would be that adding the "correct"
text in
the redhat-release file on CentOS would enable picky software requiring RHEL
to run in CentOS instead.

>From CentOS /etc/redhat-release:
CentOS release 5.2 (Final)

>From RHEL3 /etc/redhat-release:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 9)

>From RHEL4 /etc/redhat-release:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)

Has anybody maybe actually done this already and can tell if it'd work?

What other places may a software look into to check the computer runs the
correct OS?

Ideas and comments are welcome! TIA.

Hi

You can move the attachment to another directory, change ownership to 'admin' 
and then FTP the file down and re-email to recipient, obviously if it you will 
have to send to an address that won't go through MainScanner!

For a more permanent solution edit /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, find the 
following lines:

Quarantine Whole Message = no
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = no

..and change them both to 'yes', now when emails are quarantined it will store 
them as message files (dfm and qfmxx) which you can just copy 
back to the /var/spool/mqueue directory (You don't need to copy the attachment 
file), the message will not go through MainScanner again and will be delivered 
to the recipient.

This may vary depending on your setup etc but should point you in the correct 
direction)!

Thanks
Rob

 Hi, yes sorry I should have added that :)

 I'm using lynx, as follows:

I got lynx to work with the --dump option, and now the errors are
gone, and the cronjob works well. wget downloaded the whole website
which was like 23MB everytime, whereas lynx gave me the output, which
is more usable for trouble shooting the cronjob.

How are you calling these scripts from cron? lynx? wget? curl? Maybe
the problem is with the tool you are using to do that. If you give us
more details, we might be able to help you better.

HTH,

Hi, yes sorry I should have added that :)

I'm using lynx, as follows:

9 0 * * * /usr/bin/lynx http://billing/admin/cron.php
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx http://billing/pipe/pop.php


Lynx wants to do cursor positioning which is fairly useless in
non-interactive mode.  You can give it a terminal type on the command line
with the -term= option, but it would probably be better to use wget instead
for non-interactive work.





wget downloads the whole page every time, which wastes bandwidth & HDD
space. Apart from using the "> /dev/null" option, is there any other
way to use it?


Lynx is going to send the page to stdout, which cron will collect and 
email to you unless you have redirected to /dev/null also, so I don't 
see a big difference there.  For static pages wget can use -N to only 
get copies after they change, and the -O option to control where it 
goes, which could be /dev/null if you really never want to see it.



And with lynx, do I just issue lynx -term=vt100 http://billing/admin/cron.php ?


Yes, but I'd recommend doing 'man lynx', 'man wget', and 'man curl' so 
you understand the options and features of each.

Which also explains why, once my mirror was corrupt, that a new problem

wget -O- and then devnull :-)

curl --silent is quite nice as well

nono, you need the agent forwarding for the first login (ssh -A ),
then then scp will (should) work, using the forwarded credentials to
contact the agent on the initial machine.

That probably means that your are targetting the wrong partition/slice
of your BSD partition.

I can't guess your setup but you have probably a primary partition
on the slave IDE drive and some BSD slices inside (a/b/c/...)
hdb1 is the whole partition and probably not your BSD slice you
want to mount... Depending on the other primary/extended partitions
on hdb, you might need to try hdb{2...15}.

-> sfdisk -d /dev/hdb
-> fdisk -l /dev/hdb
-> grep hdb /var/log/messages 

Cheers

Tru

Can anyone comment on wether it is actually possible to mount an UFS2
(FreeBSD 5+) vs. an UFS1 (FreeBSD upto 4.x) partition.
I tried that yesterday (mounting a pfSense CF-card) and it would more or
less crash OpenSuSE 11...

Try a "real" BSD to mount it
