I have tried using the iSSH application, but without success. I know that the server is accessible from a Windows client (using TigerVNC), via an SSH tunnel, so the server is properly configured. If you have a working example, please let me know what magic sauce you used. I use iTeleport. The security settings inside it let me set up the ssh tunnel and which port the VNC server is running. iTeleport seems to work with Linux, MacOSX and Windoze VNC servers no problem. It even lets me set up an ssh tunnel to a gateway machine and then port forward to other machines behind the firewall. The general procedure is: 1) create a new connection 2) set the name and port of the machine that is running VNC. NOTE: this does not have to be the same as the SSH gateway. 3) In security go to encryption and select SSH. This is the machine that is running SSH and as I said it can be a gateway machine or the VNC itself. 4) Select the OS you are connecting to. I suspect that iTeleport has different click settings depending on what you are connecting to. You are now done.

Re: [CentOS] 200 Stream not found errors in flash player and firefox
Rob, what are you doing to get the error message? I.e., what command or application are you invoking and where does the 200 Stream error appear? I've been having problems with flashplayer also-- for a long time and over many upgrades. When, using firefox, I visit a site which invokes flashplayer, the cpu load begins to increase it can go from 0.4 to 6.8. If I then close the tab to that site, the cpu load goes back down to where it was. I've talked with friends who use Mac OS X and Windows and they both experience similar problems with flashplayer, so I always assumed it was something in flash. On 05/21/2012 11:09 PM Rob Kampen wrote: Hi List, I have been getting the above errors for the last few months and extensive google foo has been less than conclusive - but indicates that the requesting flash player is somehow putting the wrong url content into the request. After I recently did a yum update on my wife's laptop she too started getting these errors. She has an old sony laptop running 5.8 and other than this error on various streaming tv links it is working just fine. Needless to say, she is less than thrilled with my IT skills at this point as she can no longer watch her favourite TV programs. So I decided to try and track down the problem on my own machine (CentOS 6.2) where yumex allows you to see and load older versions of a package. I started with a downgrade (and then a 2nd one and then the 5th one) of libflashplayer.so - fortunately rpmforge has older versions. Going right back to a 10.x version did not fix the problem. Thus I guess it is a firefox / xulrunner problem, however I am not happy to go back too many versions here as the exploit potential is much higher. Then I tried konqueror with flash enabled and guess what - no problems with any of the links that fail under firefox / libflashplayer. So my question to the list members - does anyone else have this problem with flash under firefox?? What do I do to fix it?

[CentOS] openldap mmr + heartbeat hot standby
Hi List, I've setup 2 openldap servers in n-way multimaster replication mode in a test environment, both run centos 6.2, this works well but now i'm trying to make these 2 servers failover using heartbeat. i've got no experience with heartbeat (or setting up clusters in general) however from what i understand heartbeat starts/stops the service if the server has the virtual IP assigned or not. this would be fine for httpd , but since replication doesn't work when slapd is stopped i was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to setup heartbeat with a hot standby? so that the service keeps running but the ip does gets reassigned when one goes down.

There are repositories that might not have such policies. There are rpm downloads that are not yum-ified. Agreed - and the most likely source of conflicts is when you have installed packages from 2 different 3rd party repositories or unrelated sources. Normally any single source will test against a stock RHEL base, but not other 3rd party packages, and when package dependencies change in future updates you have the potential for conflicts. Not even copying packages to your own repository can ensure that packages from multiple different sources will be able to track future updates without conflicts. But, EPEL is fairly safe by itself and has a huge number of packages that are maintained pretty well. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

A slight clarification: what happens on a failover cluster is that you've got heartbeat running, and each machine looks to see if the other's still alive. At this point, one is live, and the other's standby. If/when the standby notices it cannot see - even a ping - the other address, or it can be configured to look for a service, such as doing a default search (for apache, that might be a wget ImAlive.html) - it tells the system to assert the IP, and turns up all services for which it's been configured. I haven't done it, but I'd say you could easily configure heartbeat to check, and if the IP's visible, but the service times out, to tell the live one to turn down services, and to take over primaryhood. Hope that's clearer. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Repositories in CentOS 5.8
On Tuesday, May 22, 2012 12:17:07 PM Kaushal Shriyan wrote: I am running Cent OS 5.8 in production. Can someone please explain me about various repositories available in CentOS 5.8 and which third party repos ( http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories) i should use it in Production environment. You've already gotten some excellent advice about this, but I'd like to add a few things, starting with a list of just a few factoids I've observed about repos and repo mixing: 1.) EPEL doesn't make it a priority (or even a goal) to work well with any other third-party repository; 2.) The mixability of other repos varies, with both repoforge/RPMforge and ELrepo taking pains to not overwrite base repo packages unless you enable their 'extras' sub-repos (others may as well, I'm speaking from my own experience, and the repos I use the most are EPEL, repoforge, and ELrepo, and so I'm not even going to comment about the mixability of others, like remi, IUS, ATrpms, or others since I have either insufficient or old information about them); 3.) At least one useful repository that I use on certain production machines, the CERT Forensics repo, relies on both EPEL and RPMforge/repoforge, so look carefully at the mixing issues of each of your selected repos' upstream repo dependencies; 4.) Random mixing of packages (like random downloads from pkgs.org) is certain to cause problems; 5.) The fewer the number of repos you use the more stable your package set will be. That is especially true if you mix 'specialty' repos like OpenNMS and PacketFence (or even slightly off the wall ones like LinuxTech (which has a usable handbrake for CentOS 6, for instance)), or upstream repos like the one from the PostgreSQL RPM building project to get the latest PostgreSQL on you system; 6.) There is no such thing in repositories as 'one size fits all.' What will fit your needs depends a great deal on what 'production' is defined to be in your specific instance. (For a server in 'production' that is serving typical network service loads (file, print, web, e-mail, databases, etc) you're going to need some specific things (where 'things' is defined as the set of packages and interdependencies between packages). A 'production' research/development desktop (we have a few here) will need different things; a 'production' embedded machine controller (we have a couple of those, too) will need yet another different set of things.); 7.) You really need to look at the packages that you need for your application and then individually investigate which repo or repos has the packages that you need, built the way you need them. And look at the longevity of the repo; both RPMforge/repoforge and EPEL, for instance, have been around a while and are pretty well maintained; 8.) The recommendations on the CentOS Wiki repositories page are very good starting points, but what you specifically need in production is something you'll need to determine for yourself after doing some testing with different repos. And I'd keep some testing machines or VM's available to test various repos over time to see how they work or don't work with each other, and you might even want to build your own repository, depending upon your specific critieria; 9.) Don't mix from-source (./configure;make;make install) installed packages and packages from repositories unless: a.) You know exactly what you're doing; b.) The from-source package builds all its own dependencies (like Plone does); c.) The from-source package's author won't support it otherwise. 10.) Learn to use yum and its tools effectively to keep mixing issues at bay (priorities, plugins, and the command line parameters to enable and disable individual repositories as needed are the ones to start with); Now, a non-factoid observation: if you think about it, it's quite an amazing thing that so many people are so willing to keep repositories of packages up to date at no cost to the end-user, given the very definite benefit and value of those updates (which is why I can't really complain if a repo is a little out of date, or if two repos that aren't costing me any opex won't mix just the way I want them to) and the very real cost to the maintainer, in terms of time, stress, frustration, and money. Having kept packages up to date for public consumption before, I understand all too well the trials of a packager and the entitlement syndrome some users seem to have. And thus my last recommendation: 11.) be prepared to do some work on your own to make different repositories work together for you, and be patient with the maintainers of those repositories when they don't work together the way you might like. They don't have to listen to you, but most will listen if you approach them the right way, respectfully acknowledging their valuable contribution to your bottom line. YMMV, FWIW, IMHO, HTH, etc.

[CentOS] pvcreate limitations on big disks?
OK folks, I'm back at it again. Instead of taking my J4400 ( 24 x 1T disks) and making a big RAID60 out of it which Linux cannot make a filesystem on, I'm created 4 x RAID6 which each are 3.64T I then do : sfdisk /dev/sd{b,c,d,e} EOF ,,8e EOF to make a big LVM partition on each one. But then when I do : pvcreate /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}1 and then pvdisplay It shows each one as only half its actual size. But if I take the last one and wipe the partition table and just do pvcreate on the entire disk, it works pvcreate /dev/sde And then if I take the results from that and use the size to force a size on another PV I get it right too pvcreate /dev/sdd1 --setphysicalvolumesize=3.64T I'd use the entire disk expect that this seems dangerous to me because you do sfdisk -l and the disk appears to have no partition table which might entice someone to thing it is unused. And I'm not sure whether it is safe to use setphysicalvolumesize. Anyone know for sure?

The system (which is in another country) seems to be running fine. If I leave it will it sort itself out in time? Based on your errors, what I would do is this: 1. You only need 1 version of glibc-common.x86_64. The only way you could have gotten into this position is either your machine died in the middle of a yum update or someone force installed the later glibc-common via the rpm -i command. I would first try to install the yum-utils package with this command: yum install yum-utils once that is installed, I would try: yum-complete-transaction If you do not have any incomplete transactions, then you have some bad packages force installed. I would figure out exactly what packages I had installed for glibc and get them all on one version ... you need to be careful with glibc (and its sub packages) ... it is the most important package on your machine. How I would do this is that I would download all the RPMs for the latest version of all the packages you have installed ... for me that would be: glibc-devel-2.12-1.47.el6_2.12.x86_64.rpm glibc-headers-2.12-1.47.el6_2.12.x86_64.rpm glibc-2.12-1.47.el6_2.12.i686.rpm glibc-common-2.12-1.47.el6_2.12.x86_64.rpm glibc-2.12-1.47.el6_2.12.x86_64.rpm nscd-2.12-1.47.el6_2.12.x86_64.rpm You may have others. Once I had them all in the same directory, I would try a: rpm -Uvh *.rpm then I would look at the errors based on those errors (if it does not install) then I would likely do: rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm that will LIKELY clean up your rpm issues for glibc ... but if you don't understand the errors, post those here. 2. For bash, I would: rpm -e bash-4.1.2-8.el6.centos.x86_64 then I would reinstall the other bash yum reinstall bash-4.1.2-9.el6_2.x86_64 3.

Presumably, you're trying to avoid a proper setup: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Replicated_Failover_Domain_Controller_and_file_server_using_LDAP If you already have LDAP authentication and NSS set up, and you don't want to add Samba related attributes to your directory, you'd need to disable encrypt passwords in smb.conf and modify the Windows registry so that it sends your passwords in plain text: http://www.encs.concordia.ca/helpdesk/howto/plain_password.html Needless to say, the security of this configuration is awful, but not worse than if you're using OpenLDAP without SSL. Hi Gordon, What should my passdb backend be set to? Yes, you are correct, I'd rather dispense with having my ldap db be populated with Samba attributes. I've setup Samba + LDAP before, just unsure how to break the model. I mean the docs are great for doing things proper, just unsure how to do it improper if you know what I mean. Windows only authenticates CIFS with Kerberos, NTLM or plain text AFAIK. If security is a concern this means you'll need a Kerberos system or SAM account database setup. Kerberos is probably not an option at this point, which just leaves a SAM database of NTLM passwords. For this scenario the database comes in two varieties (backends), openldap or passdb. Openldap requires you to add the samba schema to your database and go through a period where it synchronizes the SAM passwords, basically implicitly trusting the client and recording the password sent to it if the password in the SAM DB is blank, if it isn't blank then authenticating the client. Passdb is pretty much the same except the SAM database is kept externally so no need to change your openldap schema. I do believe there is a way to use Samba+PAM to keep the passdb synchronized with the openldap by doing a samba password change whenever an openldap password change occurs, but it's pretty fragile. Personally I always prefer Kerberos, but it can be a bitch to setup after the fact (all those UPNs and SPNs plus nodes and applications = pain).

When, using firefox, I visit a site which invokes flashplayer, the cpu load begins to increase it can go from 0.4 to 6.8. If I then close the tab to that site, the cpu load goes back down to where it was. I've talked with friends who use Mac OS X and Windows and they both experience similar problems with flashplayer, so I always assumed it was something in flash. Yes, flash player appears to have some nasty bits - maybe this is another reason why Apple / Steve Jobs was so anti flash on the iPhone.

She has an old sony laptop running 5.8 and other than this error on various streaming tv links it is working just fine. Needless to say, she is less than thrilled with my IT skills at this point as she can no longer watch her favourite TV programs. So I decided to try and track down the problem on my own machine (CentOS 6.2) where yumex allows you to see and load older versions of a package. I started with a downgrade (and then a 2nd one and then the 5th one) of libflashplayer.so - fortunately rpmforge has older versions. Going right back to a 10.x version did not fix the problem. Thus I guess it is a firefox / xulrunner problem, however I am not happy to go back too many versions here as the exploit potential is much higher. Then I tried konqueror with flash enabled and guess what - no problems with any of the links that fail under firefox / libflashplayer. So my question to the list members - does anyone else have this problem with flash under firefox?? What do I do to fix it?

Please help me understand when i install CentOS 5.8 on a fresh server, what are the available repositories by default and if i need any packages which are not there in the default repos, Do i need to enable third party repositories.

[CentOS] Centos 5.8 has no Virtualization install option
Hi, when I try to install Centos 5.8 on a Dell r410 then I don't get a Virtualization option during the package selection of the installer. Centos 5.7 does show that option fine. Is this a known issue? Regards, Dennis ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
