John,

I did remove the LVM and mounted the file system i had in /dev/sdb1 as 
/backup, It works now...

[r...@server]# mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
[r...@mail ~]# df -kh
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 459G  105M  436G   1% /backup
[r...@server]#

I cant restart the server now but I will have a maintenance window 
tomorrow so I will check after the reboot how it goes... I added it to 
/etc/fstab anyway:

//dev/sdb1  /backup  ext3  suid,dev,exec  0  0/

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

Re: [CentOS] sudoers file

2009-10-28 Thread vijay shanker
Thanks guys,

I have done my changes in the sudoers file.

what i did is ; added a group with same access as root.

how i am able to use sudo. but there is a problem.

my machine is responding very slow for the sudo. It takes almost 3 minutes
to open a small file with command

sudo vim filename.conf

i don't think this might be because of the changes. But you can explain this
situation to me.

To edit sudoers file I used visudo.

and thanks Majian for that command in vi editor. it was great.

I would *NOT* use LVM on a removable external drive.

if you did a mkfs /dev/sdb1, you should

# mount /dev/sdb1 /backup

and skip LVM entirely.

[CentOS] question about mounting external USB HD

2009-10-28 Thread Ivan Arteaga
Hello,

I have a server running CentOS 4.7 and I want to add a new USB-HD for 
backup some data. I made the file system as ext3 with the command:
/
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1/

After that I did add a new Volume Group and Logical Volume 
(/VolGrup01-LogVol01) /on that file system and mounted it as /backup. It 
worked fine but when I did reboot the server It wont mount /backup and I 
got the following error even after the system boots and I try to mount 
it manually:

/mount: special device /dev/VolGrup01/LogVol01 does not exist/

I will appreciate any comment or suggestion about the best way to get 
through this.

If you are using iptables, make sure you have ip_conntrack_ftp loaded. 
This can be accomplished by making sure that ip_conntrack_ftp appears in 
the "IPTABLES_MODULES" line in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and restart 
iptables.  Either that or try turning off iptables temporarily to test.

[CentOS] Not able to FTP since 5.4

2009-10-28 Thread Bob Hoffman
I do not use ftp much lately, but my bro did and noticed we cannot ftp to
the server since the upgrade.

Using VSFTP.
Tried rebooting but nothing.

Looks like it goes through the whole process and then 'bam'.
Could not find an error log that listed the error anywhere.

Worked great before 5.4 update, now it does not work at all.



Here is the info from cuteftp.

A key to your answer is the --all-repeated option
for uniq on a sorted file.

I call this "find-duplicates" -- this post makes it GPL

Anyone sitting at the keyboard holding a key down?

I ran into a really annoying bug in the latest Dell DRAC cards
for example which caused the management card to spew crap onto
the console causing the grub boot loader to hang at the menu
screen(as if someone hit a key to cancel the timeout). Lots of
other side effects to that bug as well(on a couple of occasions
would have almost everything get zombied out until I rebooted
the management card which cleared it up).

That's what I am doing, too. Just wondered if there is a way to

BTW, if you have some complex chain of action logic (more than just a
simple -j DROP), you could simplify your rules by creating a custom
chain and having the rules on the builtin chain (OUTPUT, or whatever)
jump to your custom chain instead of DROP.

For example, If I wanted to use the same four rules from above, but I
wanted to both log AND drop the incoming packets, a "naive"
implementation might be something like this:

 iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP1 -j LOG --log-prefix 'MYDROP: '
--log-level notice
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP1 -j DROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP1 -j LOG --log-prefix 'MYDROP: '
--log-level notice
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP1 -j DROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP2 -j LOG --log-prefix 'MYDROP: '
--log-level notice
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP2 -j DROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP2 -j LOG --log-prefix 'MYDROP: '
--log-level notice
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP2 -j DROP

You could do the same thing in a much more compact fashion by creating
a custom chain called MYDROP:

 iptables -N MYDROP
 iptables -A MYDROP -j LOG --log-prefix 'MYDROP: ' --log-level notice
 iptables -A MYDROP -j DROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP1 -j MYDROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP1 -j MYDROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP2 -j MYDROP
 iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP2 -j MYDROP

In programming, it would be analogous to factoring duplicative code
into a common function. In this example, you really don't compress the
expression very much (7 lines versus 8 lines). If you imagine a
situation where MYDROP would contain 10 or 15 different actions,
you'll understand how powerful it can be.

[CentOS] iptables -d fqdn instead of IP

2009-10-28 Thread Marcus Moeller
Hi all,

does it work to define iptables rules with a fqdn as destination
instead of an IP address? Or is it useful to resolve the name first
using e.g. nslookup, writing the result to a variable which is then
used within the -d statement?

Just tried, no joy: *still* sits at the chosen menu item. And yeah, it's

Each of those parameters is called a "match", in IPTables-speak. You
can specify multiple matches in one rule, but all matches are combined
with an implicit logical AND. There is no way to get a logical OR
amongst multiple matches in a single rule. If you want OR logic, you
use multiple rules.

So, your example could not work as single rule, because no single IP
packet can be both TCP and UDP, and no single IP packet can have
multiple destination IP addresses. IPTables tries to prevent you from
creating nonsensical rules like that in most situations.

You would have to specify the required match space across multiple
rules, maybe something like this:

  iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP1-j DROP
  iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP1 -j DROP
  iptables -A OUTPUT -p UDP -d $IP2 -j DROP
  iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -d $IP2 -j DROP

This doesn't print the first of the duplicates.  Also, the question 
wasn't clear as to whether every line with matching 3rd fields should be 
printed or just ones where the others or previous fields matched (but 
the sort options could control that).

Try labelling root as the actual drive, not using the LABEL as above.
In other words, something like this:

root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet

Otherwise, your grub.conf is exactly like mine, and it works without issue 
here.

One general remark: I have one more reason to love this distro. I'm 
posting a message about a rather quirky rsync option at 18:18 PM. And 
sixteen minutes later, at 18:34, I have five competent answers with the 
odd hint at other interesting options to explore.

Personally, I'd run backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ or the

Long time ago (when I was still young and beautiful) and encountering also
the limitations of "uniq", I wrote a small program in C to do these kinds of 
things.
It is designed to handle record oriented stuff in groups similar to uniq.
The primary purpose was as prepocessor to awk/perl, but simple things like this
are builtin.  You find it here:

   ftp://ftp.xplanation.com/utils/by-src.zip

Unpack;  make;  and copy the program "by" somehwere in your PATH.

Then, to solve your problem do:

sort -t: -k 3 InputFile | by -F: -f3 -D

This sorts the input on field 3, fields separated by colon, and outputs
all lines that are duplicate according to field 3 (-D).

The program can do more as well, and a little tutorial is included in the zip.

A quick and dirty example (only prints the extra duplicate lines; not the 
original duplicate):
awk -F: ' { v[$3]=v[$3]+1; if (v[$3]>1) print $0; } ' datafile

Here's how we do it.

cd /
rsync -avR etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /destinationfolder

Note that the lack of leading slash on the source.

This is normal because your copying a file not a tree

Copy the tree and use something like includes or excludes or
even the files-from option to specifically include the files you
want to copy.

e.g.

[na...@us-cfe002:/etc]$ cat /tmp/files.txt
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[na...@us-cfe002:/etc]$

[na...@us-cfe002:/etc]$ rsync -av --files-from=/tmp/files.txt / /tmp/
building file list ... done
etc/
etc/httpd/
etc/httpd/conf/
etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

sent 34853 bytes  received 40 bytes  69786.00 bytes/sec
total size is 34704  speedup is 0.99
[na...@us-cfe002:/etc]$ ls -ltr /tmp/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 natea natea 34704 Nov 18  2007 /tmp/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


use the -n option with rsync for testing, to have it only show you
what it would do rather than doing it.

Hi Nikki,

I don't think you can do that with rsync out of the box. You need to
script your way around it.
One thing I can advise is to use rdiff-backup, this one is based on
rsync and can create full-paths, as well as incremental backups (e.g.
you could restore a file and see how it looked 2 weeks ago).
Rdiff-backup should be available from RPMForge.

I wonder if you can do this in two steps:
 
1. Parse out the unique values from the thrid column into
a file.
2. Run the processor on the script to print where the
third column matches one of the values identified.
 
I dont know how to do this in a script.
I would write a simple Java program to do it.

[CentOS] Rsync and full path of filenames

2009-10-28 Thread Niki Kovacs
Hi,

I have a bit of a tricky question about rsync.

Let's say I want to backup a bunch of configuration files with rsync, in 
a script.

What I don't want to do : a full snapshot of /etc.
What I want to do : backup only those files I need, in an otherwise 
empty directory tree.

In my script, I'd begin with a list of the files I effectively want to 
backup. Something like :

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/*.conf
/etc/exports

Then I'd have some other files in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin, 
which I would like to backup too.

Instead of a puzzling explanation, let me just show you how I would like 
my resulting backup to look like, so you get the idea :

etc/
`-- httpd
 |-- conf
 |   `-- httpd.conf
 `-- vhosts.d
 |-- site1.conf
 |-- site2.conf
 `-- site3.conf

usr/
`-- local
 |-- bin
 |   |-- script1.sh
 |   `-- script2.sh
 |-- sbin
 |-- sbinscript3.sh
 `-- sbinscript4.sh

Now if I do something like this :

rsync -av /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf destinationfolder/

I get something like :

destinationfolder/httpd.conf

QUESTION (at last) : is there a way rsync can somehow add the full file 
path, so the end result is more like :

destinationfolder/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ?

Any suggestions ?

Niki

[CentOS] Scripting help please....

2009-10-28 Thread Truejack
Need a scripting help to sort out a list and list all the duplicate lines.

My data looks somethings like this

host6:dev406mum.dd.mum.test.com:22:11:11:no
host7:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:36:17:19:no

host4:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:45:17:19:no
host4:dev258mum.dd.mum.test.com:36:17:19:no

I need to sort this list and print all the lines where column 3 has a
duplicate entry.

I need to print the whole line, if a duplicate entry exists in column 3.

I tried using a combination of "sort" and "uniq" but was not successful.

[CentOS] Cisco MDS 9124 with Centos 5.4

2009-10-28 Thread Vernard C. Martin
The Release notes indicate that fencing support for the Cisco MDS 9124 
and 9134 Fabric Switches have been added as a Technology Preview. I'd 
love to use this but it doesn't seem to be visible as a choice when 
using the web interface for configuring the cluster. I'm not averse to 
doing it by hand but I'm not sure of the XML syntax for that device in 
the cluster file.

Anyone got any clues?

You can edit sudoer with vi or vim and save the changes too.  Just read what

I guess my issue is how these characters get generated in the first  
place.  By cutting and pasting the word "Έντελέχεια" from  
your email into a file on Linux (via the Synergy mouse & keyboard  
sharing utility no less), I was able to create a file containing that  
word and also named that word and display it correctly with cat and  
ls.  So UTF-8 encoding appears to work just fine.  It's 8-byte  
characters in ISO 8859-1 encoding that are causing my problem.   
Fortunately, I think I don't have to deal with ISO 8859-1 encodings,  
and my problem was self-created by cutting and pasting characters  
from the iso_8859-1 man page.

Now I have a follow up question: so far I've only been able to enter  
non-ASCII characters on my Linux system by cutting & pasting; how do  
I actually generate any of these characters on a system with a US  
keyboard?

Thanks for all that have helped me solve this problem.

I don't think this is possible.  You can enable getting a copy of bounces to 
the 
postmaster account, but the bounce is still delivered to invalid addresses.  Or 
you could use a milter like MimeDefang to alter the destination.

Re: [CentOS] vnc for non-root

2009-10-28 Thread Neil Aggarwal
Ken:

You can set the machine up to use VNC for the
console.

Then, give the person a normal login which they will
use to login to the machine from the console interface.
Basically, it will be just like they are sitting at
the machine a logging in with a user account.

I would also require the VNC to be tunneled through
SSH for encryption since VNC does not do that internally.

I think that it is possible to do this by using postfix and the

 Not supported. Maybe doable in postfix with header_checks and REDIRECT.

 If you control the recipient address on the sending end, you could change
 it to myaccount+mach...@domain and not need the alias.

 Or if you know all possible values of machine*, use a script or Makefile
 to generate a file with all these aliases and :include it in your main
 aliases file. The disadvantage is this is not maintenance-free.

[CentOS] Missing package

2009-10-28 Thread Anne Wilson
The big update caused one of the rare re-starts on my mail server, so I saw 
the startup messages that I had forgotten about.

Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: [3424]: warning: python-dbus not installed.
Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: hp-systray[3424]: warning: Qt/PyQt 4 
initialization failed.
Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: hp-systray[3424]: error: hp-systray requires Qt4 
GUI and DBus support. Exiting.

I cna't find any package python-dbus.  dbus-python is installed, but hp-
systray doesn't recognise that as the same thing.  Is it possible to create 
some sort of link so that when it attempts to call python-dbus it gets dbus-
python instead?

Maybe check the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server
I would guess you just don't give root's vnc password?

Re: [CentOS] Repodata for 5.4 updates?

2009-10-28 Thread Karanbir Singh
Hi,

This is now normal, but it hasent been like this in the past. Over the 
last 8 months the updates for CentOS-5 have come from a mostly automated 
system and one of the fallouts is that this system will nominate and 
track update state on a few external mirrors before doing the metadata 
and announce[1]. This has worked flaw lessley in the past  ( only 
sometimes when specific mirrors would orphan themselves would users 
reall 'see' this ). And ofcourse when we do things like OpenOffice ( 
which pushes ~ 3 GB of updates ).

In the case of 5.4, its been slight more visible as we've still got some 
shakyness in the mirror network, and there is ~ 8 to 10 G of data to 
push through the queue ( src / debug / updates ). And its all taking a 
bit longer, hope to have announcement and metadata there today.

Also, adding to the complexity is :
- Process isnt quite 100% automated, we've not quite got there yet and 
the QC checks on each package need to be OKayed manually [2]
- Upstream has been regularly doing updates over the last 3 days which 
also means that when the scripts come around to doing 'All updates are 
good' it fails with Missing tag's . eg, the push from 10 min back 
resulted in :

M: SA-2009:1530 xulrunner-1.9.0.15-3.el5_4.src.rpm
M: SA-2009:1530 nspr-4.7.6-1.el5_4.src.rpm
M: SA-2009:1530 firefox-3.0.15-3.el5_4.src.rpm

( The M: indicating stuff Missing ) :)

I am going to now get these building and $dayjob permitting get them out 
during the morning. That should give us Status-Complete and then I get 
to do the announcements ( expect lots! ).

Usually, I wait about 45 min after the metadata is in place before doing 
the announcements.

ok, so this has a bit more detail about things than you had asked for 
but hopefully there is no some more info on the process here should 
anyone else come asking the same question as you did in the future!

- KB

[1]: The announcement is really the Flag to look for - once you see it, 
the update should be usable. Till such time as you dont see the 
announcement its not really released. I'd even go to the extent of 
saying that till you see the announcement posted, its still possible for 
us to replace the individual packages quietly. Cant think of the last 
time we did that ( off the top of my head ) - but keep in mind that its 
possible.

[2]: Its not only a 'trusting the system' issue, its also a practical 
case of looking at some of the issues and reports during the QC of the 
package and taking action based on that. Specially when there might be a 
new change in a package that has new Upstream marks which were not 
present in the past! We dont want to get sue'd or cause Red Hat any 
issues on the legal front ( we do really like them ).

Try running Nmon over a couple of days collecting stats every 10-20
seconds (a bit excessive) or a minute. Then run the nmon stats through
the Nmon Analyser spreadsheet. That should show how the I/O, RAM and
CPU usage and top CPU consumers during those periods pretty nicely.

Download Nmon for RHEL (perfectly usable on CentOS) from IBM or
sourceforge : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/nmon
, http://nmon.sourceforge.net/pmwiki.php

and the analyser is here:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/nmonanalyser

Here's a sample on how to run:
#Intensive, every 10 second. Will use a lot of CPU
nmon -fT -s 10 -c 8640

#Regular, a sample every minute
nmon -fT -s 60 -c 1440

[CentOS] vnc for non-root

2009-10-28 Thread ken
At work I've been asked to set up vnc for a remote user (a vendor
sysadmin to install 3d party software we've purchased).  Of course I'm a
bit skittish about allowing root access to this.  Is there a way to
configure vnc so that root cannot log in through it...?  Or do I have to
use some other utility to deny root access (e.g., securetty).

Thanks, folks.

I'd agree with John that this isn't normal UNIX/Linux behavior, that
something somewhere has been added to the system code to cancel the
change you make to crontab.

As a kludge, you could add your "crontab /tmp/temp" to the end of
/etc/rc.local so that it is invoked again after the reboot.

Do a "crontab -l" periodically throughout the day to see if there's a
particular time when your reboot command disappears from it.
