[CentOS] Problems with kickstart installation into a Virtualbox
Hi listers i tried to kickstart-install CentOS 6.0 64 in a Virtualbox (Virtualbox Version 4.12). I used a local CDROM with the net-install ISO on it to boot from. The ISO distribution file was provided on a server in the LAN as was the kickstart file. When starting the installation i aded the following to the kernel line of the grub menu: ks=http://install.mydomain.com/ks/centos.6.64.cfg After i had corrected some errors in the kickstart file, the installation started as expected. But it did not terminate as expected: after installing 198 of 671 packages, the installation halted with an error (i.e. after installing the package libutempter). In order to see what the problem was, i restarted from the CDROM in recovery mode, and after going into the half-way installed system, i saw in the anaconda log that about three quarters of the post-installation scripts of the packages had returned a warning. The warning code was 255. But the post-installation script of the package libutempter had returned an error with code 255, whereupon the installation stopped. I thought, OK, we will work around the libutempter package by selecting other program-groups in the kickstart-file. But i had no luck: the installation stopped then after the package MAKEDEV. Then i left off kickstart-installation and did a standard installation booting from the CDROM and getting the default packages from the server in the LAN. This worked fine. - When it came to test the installed packages i was always lucky except with the package fuse (fuse-2.8.3-1.el6.x86_64) which contains the binary /usr/bin/fusermount. This binary was installed without execute permission for everybody, so it could be invoked only by the userid root and members of the group fuse, which is not, what i had expected. suomi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] svnserve and SysVinit
Hello there and SFME. Since el6 subversion package doesn't contain traditional SysV demonization script anymore I wonder how it is supposed to run svnserve from now on. 1) Should one write init script to be managed with service(8) on his own? 2) Or launch svnserve on demand via (x)inetd? 3) Or put svnserve command line in some rc-script? 4) Or maybe is ra_svn deployment scheme not supported in el6 at all and one should stick with Apache/mod_dav_svn?

[CentOS] Off topic list for centos please?
Could we have a centos-offtopic list please, so anything that would be considered OT can be posted there? That way it would keep anything considered as OT and list-noise off the main centos specific list. So each users then has the option of being on the main centos list, and/or the centos-offtopic list as well. That would keep the more experienced centos users happy, and allow us less experienced centos users to also learn from each other as well. I for one like to learn from such posts as the [CentOS] OT: Hardware upgrade help, as 64 bit is something I'm interested in learning about from other centos users that wish to contribute to threads like these. I think the centos-offtopic list should also be centos related, but not so strict postings as the current list is.

Agreed. I'd suggest calling the list 'centos-social' after the IRC channel, with similar protocol for using it versus the main centos list. Makes things consistent, too, since then regardless of whether it's on IRC or e-mail the moderation can be 'take it to -social' across the board.

Wondering if anyone has experience with CyberPower UPS's. Are they any good? Any problems with pwrstatd ? We have used several CyberPower sine-wave, AVR UPS units in our server room - AVR1500, I believe. The cyber power monitoring app that comes with the UPS (also available on the site) works fine in Redhat Linux, though we don't use it, and I have not tested it in a few years (last version was probably RH5). However, we have not found them to be 100% reliable. We use them with a mix of equipment from different vendors. While the units work fine when tested, in production they sometimes do not switch fast/early enough and we have experienced several equipment reboots due to this. We have tightened the thresholds in the CyberPower control software so that the UPS will kick in more frequently, but the adjustments are pretty limited. Because of this, we have moved the units to non-critical equipment or equipment that is protected by a redundant power source through an APC UPS. We've since stopped buying the units for server use, but may consider them for desktop use. --Blake ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

However, we have not found them to be 100% reliable. We use them with a mix of equipment from different vendors. While the units work fine when tested, in production they sometimes do not switch fast/early enough and we have experienced several equipment reboots due to this. We have tightened the thresholds in the CyberPower control software so that the UPS will kick in more frequently, but the adjustments are pretty limited. Because of this, we have moved the units to non-critical equipment or equipment that is protected by a redundant power source through an APC UPS. We've since stopped buying the units for server use, but may consider them for desktop use. --Blake I haven't used CyberPower UPS's in the office (currently all variations of the APC Smart-UPS), however, I do have three basic CyberPower's at home.

[CentOS] Help integrating CentOS 6 with existing network login infrastructure
I've updated my kickstart configuration files to work with CentOS 6 and am most of the way there integrating a CentOS 6 system into our LDAP/NIS environment. My authconfig line in the kickstart file is as follows: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX --nisserver=nis.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com --krb5adminserver=ldap.XXX.com This is virtually identical to the authconfig line I was using in CentOS 5. My issue is that users cannot log in with their network (NIS) usernames and passwords. If I log in as root, I can do a su - username and get the user's automounted home directory with the correct uid/gid, but if I try to log in as the user, or do a su - username as a non-root user and have to enter the password, authentication always fails. The entries in /var/log/secure just say su: pam_unix(su-l:auth): authentication failure. I'm not a pam expert and don't know how to debug this. Anyone else run into this and/or know what might be the problem? This works just fine in CentOS 5. Alfred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

added to Apache's conf file:-
# Drop the Range header when more than 5 ranges.
# CVE-2011-3192
SetEnvIf Range (,.*?){5,} bad-range=1
RequestHeader unset Range env=bad-range
# optional logging.
CustomLog logs/range-CVE-2011-3192.log common env=bad-range
I've done this on the Apache's main conf file and restarted it. httpd
appear to be working normally on reliable Centos 5.6.
Its great having a Centos mailing list where concerned Centos users can
post news about issues affecting other Centos users, even if the posting

affected.

Hi John, No Centos updates are likely to interfere with my Apache server options and virtual hosts. The existing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is large and laborious to read and fully understand especially with so many useful comments. 'including' the parts that do change and are not operating system dependant, meaning putting them somewhere which has no connection to the operating system, for example /data/config/apache/server.conf /data/config/apache/domain.* means, I believe, that if a change to one small file goes wrong then there is absolutely no danger to 'damaging' any of the other files and the source of the problem is quick and easy to identify. Thus 'change damage' is strictly limited to one small self-contained file and can not affect any of the other files. I have too much experience of so-called collateral damage inadvertently caused to other parts of a file being changed. It costs time and money to trace and diagnose problems, so economically it is a good idea to eliminate as much as possible non-involved configuration parameters. As you will have noticed Apache actually offers the ability to fragment configuration parameters to other files by supplying - for the benefit of people like me - the 'include' facility. If Apache never wanted folks to use this useful facility, it would never have offered the 'include' ability. Anyone who has ever worked on the nightmare called Windoze will know that one tiny fault in the Registry can cause the entire operating system to malfunction. Spreading the risk with Apache configuration files is my chosen method to minimise potential disruption and it works very successfully for me on Centos 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and hopefully on 5.7 and 6.1 et al. However you are entirely free to configure your servers as you wish. That same freedom extends to me too.

Is there a way to change the font size at level 3? That sounds like the result of the new kernel mode setting feature. Try adding the nomodeset parameter to the kernel commoand line from grub. I think that will restore the traditional text console. I don't know if X11 will still work, though, depending on the driver. Also, /bin/setfont can change the console font to something bigger, but I didn't find it very reliable when I tried it under Fedora 12/13. Maybe CentOS 6.0 or 6.1 has it improved it.
