Re: [CentOS-es] Problema para instalar el repositorio epel-release-6-7...

2012-08-15 Thread Luciano Andrés Chiarotto
Hola Héctor y Carlos.

Saque la línea (export http_proxy=http://midirecciondeproxy:3128) del
archivo de configuración /etc/yum.conf

Luego, escribí en la consola export http_proxy=
http://midirecciondeproxy:3128 y funcionó. La duda que me queda es si
realmente funcionó por hacer estos cambios o realmente solucionaron el
problema de la internet porque me faltó hacer algunos ping a diferentes
páginas para ver si me respondían, el proxy me respondía.

Aclaro una cosa, la instalación la hice con los repositorios base de CentOS
6.3, el resto de los repositorios de epel.repo y epel-testing.repo se los
había sacado y ahora probé de instalar otro paquete con esto repositorios y
muestra este mismo mensaje de error...

yum search traceroute
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its
path and try again

Eso fue luego de instalar el repositorio epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm

Desde ya muchas gracias

Re: [CentOS] Good Anti-virus for Linux desktops and servers

2012-08-15 Thread James Hogarth

 the only method I know that works consistently is to block all direct
 web and ssl access and force use of a web proxy, so the SSL is between
 the remote server and the proxy server, which is your security gateway.

The way I've handled this in previous places when the requirement has
existed is a company CA cert installed on all corporate devices (windows
with AD makes this very easy) and man in the middle everything.

There's no browser security errors then and the unencrypted data is visible
for security inspection.

Of course if doing this make sure you notify in the AUP for the company
employees have to sign and agree to abide by etc etc...

Re: [CentOS] CentOS6 and netboot

  https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/nfs-diskless-systems.html
 
 Can you tell me what you want rebuilt and where I would find it?
 
 
http://vault.centos.org/5.8/os/SRPMS/system-config-netboot-0.1.45.1-3.el5.src.rpm

 This SRPM creates both system-config-netboot and system-config-netboot-cmd.
 I would like to see those available for CentOS6 if you feel it's a useful
 addition. Otherwise I'd maintain my own.

 The only thing CentOS removes that Red Hat includes is things that
 specifically are RHN centric.  We don't build those for obvious reasons.

 Sure, I understand that. But these packages have been removed by upstream.
 They are no longer included after EL5.

[CentOS] slowness with new kernel+nouveau?

2012-08-15 Thread Darod Zyree
Hello,

New kernel version 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 in combination with
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Version:0.0.16 is somehow painfully slow on my
laptop.

during start up it takes almost half a minute for gnome login to appear.
After having logged in the following happens:
- gnome top and bottom panels slide/crawl in to view one pixel line at
a time.
- starting the terminal takes much more time, 10-15, sometimes even up
to 20 seconds.
- Firefox also takes much longer to start.

Removing xorg-x11-drv-nouveau seems to resolve this slowness but then
my attached monitor does not work.

Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix/troubleshoot?

Darod Zyree

[CentOS] samba problem with kernel 2.6.32-279.*

2012-08-15 Thread Mogens Kjaer
Hello,

We use Norton Ghost, running in a PXE booted DOS, to
handle Windows XP images.

The images are stored on a samba share on our CentOS 6
server.

This has worked without any problems for years.

After kernel 2.6.32-279* it has stopped working.

The symptom is that if I boot in DOS, and do:

net use x: \\myserver\ghostimages
dir x:

I get an infinite loop where the first file name is
listed again and again.

Going back to kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1 on the server fixes
the problem.

The problem exist with kernel-2.6.32-279, kernel-2.6.32-279.2.1,
and kernel-2.6.32-279.5.1.

Samba is version samba-3.5.10-125, the server is x86_64.

Where should I look for a solution to that problem on
the newer kernels?

[CentOS] iscsi storage, LACP or Multipathing | Migration or rebuild?

2012-08-15 Thread Götz Reinicke
Hi,

I do have one iscsi storage with 4 GBit nics of which currently only one
is configured with an ip and which is in productive use by one cent os
6.3 server.

Doing some research brought me to the idea to use some nic bonding or
multipathing for that storage, but multipathing I did about four or five
years ago only once :)

Furthormore I can't find the ultimate answer (may be there is not such)
what will be better for us:

bonding or multipathing.

The storage is used for backup; it's connected to an backupserver which
pulls data from different servers ... may be at the same time or one
after an other. The server uses two bonded nics to the LAN.

My question regarding the setup is, what might be good or better:
bonding or multipathing. We'd like to increase performance and nic
failover if one link breaks.

If multipathing is to be preferred, is it possible to preserve the data
currently saved on the storages ext4?

And googling shows up a lot of different how tos and the redhat doc; but
I din not found one describing a straight forward setup.

So thanks a lot for any suggestion or comments!

Regards . Götz

  Why not Clamav?
  It has othe n-access thingy as well.
  http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/html/node21.html
  you shouldn't run Dazuko on production systems
  But, if your clients are Windows boxes via Samba, you can perform
  on-demand file access via Samba + CLAMAV using a VFS module.  This 
  works
  very well.  Then files detected to contain malware cannot be read or
  saved, and the administrator can be notified.
  I don't think that really helps the LINUX desktop however.
 Thanks for the tip with the VFS. Not much of a Samba user here, but 
 definitely good advice for the future.
 Searching a bit reveals multiple ways of using this VFS feature; do you 
 have a recommended way of doing it?

The examples are pretty straight-forward.  Just make sure you are
looking at docs for samba-virusfilter and not the older docs for
samba-vscan.

My eyes uncrossed, and I saw, buried in there, the firstlink, above, and

[CentOS] Extract lines from text file

2012-08-15 Thread Tony Molloy

Hi,

I'm looking for a command to extract lines from a large text file, a 
password file. A typical user has a username made from a letter 
followed by their id-number.

m9718508:pw:9301:840: Lynch  :/home/pgstud/m9718508:/bin/bash

So for instance if I need to extract lines where;

the 1st field, the username begins with an m
and
the 4th field, the group contains exactly 850

cat passwdfile | grep ^m | grep 850  output

is close but fails if the value 850 appears outside the 4th field. In 
the above example which should be ignored 850 appears in the username 
and home directory and is therefore extracted.

Any ideas.

Thanks,

Tony

Re: [CentOS] iscsi storage, LACP or Multipathing | Migration or rebuild?

2012-08-15 Thread Svavar Örn Eysteinsson
Hi Götz.
I'm running Centos 6.2 on a Proliant DL380 G7 server connected to a HP 
Lefthand P4500
using multipath, and ALB(Adaptive Load Balancing) on the Lefthand box it 
self.

Regarding, multipath vs bonding read this - 
http://blog.open-e.com/bonding-versus-mpio-explained/

You will need to go through the storage manual for red hat enterprise 6 
and read some chapters
regarding configuring your options/needs for your scenario.

Best regards,

Svavar O - Iceland

 Hi,

 I do have one iscsi storage with 4 GBit nics of which currently only one
 is configured with an ip and which is in productive use by one cent os
 6.3 server.

 Doing some research brought me to the idea to use some nic bonding or
 multipathing for that storage, but multipathing I did about four or five
 years ago only once :)

 Furthormore I can't find the ultimate answer (may be there is not such)
 what will be better for us:

 bonding or multipathing.

 The storage is used for backup; it's connected to an backupserver which
 pulls data from different servers ... may be at the same time or one
 after an other. The server uses two bonded nics to the LAN.

 My question regarding the setup is, what might be good or better:
 bonding or multipathing. We'd like to increase performance and nic
 failover if one link breaks.

 If multipathing is to be preferred, is it possible to preserve the data
 currently saved on the storages ext4?

 And googling shows up a lot of different how tos and the redhat doc; but
 I din not found one describing a straight forward setup.

 So thanks a lot for any suggestion or comments!

   Regards . Götz

Something like `grep -E '^m.+:.*:.*:850:'` maybe?

  This bug has been reported in the CentOS bug tracker here:
 
  0005824: tigervnc-server-module keep crashing
  http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5824
 
  However, this appears to be a bug upstream. The source RPM provided with
  CentOS is identical to that of upstream with no modifications. Also,
  there is an upstream bug reported that appears to have the same
  symptoms. I have added a comment to the upstream bug report (listed
  below) if anyone wishes to see the details.
 
  tigervnc-server-module crashes with dual screen setup
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820443
 
 
 
  We have verified that rebuilding the unmodified source RPM for tigervnc
  produces a tigervnc-server-module RPM that does not suffer from this
  bug.
 
  Removing the original tigervnc-server-module package and replacing it
  with the rebuilt one fixes the problem.
 
  I've duplicated the problem on 2 EL 6.3 x86_64 single-head display
  machines and have verified the fix.
 
  Tomorrow, I'll duplicate the problem on a dual-head x86_64 machine that
  currently still works after updating to EL 6.2 then confirm the the fix.
 
 
 Did you rebuild the SRPM using mock or directly on a physical machine
 with rpmbuild?
No mock, just a simple rpmbuild -ba SPEC/tigervnc.spec

Have you tried the updated driver I suggested?

Set up elrepo.org repository and then do:

yum install kmod-r8168

reboot and test.

If it doesn't work you can uninstall it and you've lost nothing but 10 
minutes of your time.

[CentOS] how best to rollback from a yum update?

2012-08-15 Thread Jon Detert
Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the 
upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback 
the system to its original state.  What is the best way to do that?

Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed 
versions.  I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I 
can no longer find a package for the version I am currently running.

The 'rollback' feature of rpm and yum [1] looks promising, but I have a few 
concerns with it:

a) why isn't the --rolback switch described in either the man page for rpm or 
the output from --help?  This makes me think the --rollback switch is 
deprecated or otherwise unofficial.

b) how can I trim/purge the 'repackaged' rpms that by default go in 
/var/spool/repackage [2]?  I don't want to just leave them there forever, but 
if I trim/purge/delete them, how will the rpm database be updated to know that 
it can no longer rollback to the date that they were installed?

 This bug has been reported in the CentOS bug tracker here:

 0005824: tigervnc-server-module keep crashing
 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5824

 However, this appears to be a bug upstream. The source RPM provided with
 CentOS is identical to that of upstream with no modifications. Also,
 there is an upstream bug reported that appears to have the same
 symptoms. I have added a comment to the upstream bug report (listed
 below) if anyone wishes to see the details.

 tigervnc-server-module crashes with dual screen setup
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820443



 We have verified that rebuilding the unmodified source RPM for tigervnc
 produces a tigervnc-server-module RPM that does not suffer from this
 bug.

 Removing the original tigervnc-server-module package and replacing it
 with the rebuilt one fixes the problem.

 I've duplicated the problem on 2 EL 6.3 x86_64 single-head display
 machines and have verified the fix.

 Tomorrow, I'll duplicate the problem on a dual-head x86_64 machine that
 currently still works after updating to EL 6.2 then confirm the the fix.

 Did you rebuild the SRPM using mock or directly on a physical machine
 with rpmbuild?
 No mock, just a simple rpmbuild -ba SPEC/tigervnc.spec

OK, if you find that this solves your problems for sure, I will build
the SRPM outside of mock and see if it is different.

I would start in:

rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-279 | less

and look at everything smb or cifs between the last version that works

[CentOS] KVM Setup for Win7 Pro on CentOS 5.x

2012-08-15 Thread Bill Campbell
Can somebody point me to a HowTO or other documentation describing the
tools available under the CentOS 5 KVM package to create and manage a
Windows 7 Pro VM?  All my VM experience to date has been the old free
VMware Server.


I need to:
   + Create the VM instance allowing for about 50GB total disk space which
 will be either a single image partitioned into two Windows 'Drives'
 for the OS and applications/data, or two images.

   + Install Windows 7 from an OEM System Builder Pack, either using the
 CD/DVD drive on the Linux server or from an image created with 'dd'
 from the Win7 media.

   + Set up network bridging on the private LAN so that the Windows system
 is accessible via OpenVPN connections from the outside world and by
 users on the LAN to run a client/server accounting application.

Thanks

Re: [CentOS] Strange issue with system time being off

2012-08-15 Thread Russell Jones
Hi all,

After poking around a bit I ended up just going the
/etc/ntp/step-tickers route to resolve the issue and have the time
in-sync as soon as the OS comes up.

Thanks for all the help!

 The system is treating your hardware clock as if it were UTC.  Actually
 setting it to UTC is probably the easiest fix (and possibly the best one).

[CentOS] stupid bash question

2012-08-15 Thread Craig White
the relevant snippet is...

NAME=*.mov
cd $IN
if test -n $(find . -maxdepth 1 -name $NAME -print -quit)

and if there is one file in this directory - ie test.mov, this works fine

but if there are two (or more) files in this directory - test.mov, test2.mov

then I get an error...
find: paths must precede expression

So my code is evidently wrong. I just want a test for 1 or more files ending in 
.mov in the directory?

Any one want to toss me a bone here?

Run the script with -x to see what's happening. $NAME is probably
getting expanded. You might have to set noglob.

The substitution of $NAME is expanding the wild card, giving you a single

Re: [CentOS] Good Anti-virus for Linux desktops and servers

Hi.

I tried it. It's very limiting in its support based on Linux kernel. I
would have to package create packages for the unsupported kernels on
many of our machines. And it was a complete fail when I installed the
packages of our media kit.

I don't have time for jumping through hoops.

Re: [CentOS] IPv6 on Centos 6

2012-08-15 Thread Alan Batie
An update to close: it's a vmware issue:

* new centos 5 creations exhibit the same behavior
* a few months ago, we migrated from an esx 4.0 cluster to a new esx 4.1
cluster
* we've just recently started using a new centos 6 template; the centos
6 system that's working was created before the migration
* a fresh install on esxi 4.0.0 worked fine; when the vm was restarted
on the new cluster, it exhibited the same failure.  I'm hoping to get an
esx 4.0 instance running to I can try the same test, as it seems that
esx 4.0 vms will migrate properly and work.  Failing that, we can clone
the working centos 6 system for now until we can work with vmware to
figure out what's going on...

 Hello,

 New kernel version 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 in combination with
 xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Version:0.0.16 is somehow painfully slow on my
 laptop.

 during start up it takes almost half a minute for gnome login to appear.
 After having logged in the following happens:
 - gnome top and bottom panels slide/crawl in to view one pixel line at
 a time.
 - starting the terminal takes much more time, 10-15, sometimes even up
 to 20 seconds.
 - Firefox also takes much longer to start.

 Removing xorg-x11-drv-nouveau seems to resolve this slowness but then
 my attached monitor does not work.

 Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix/troubleshoot?

 Hi,

 I'm looking for a command to extract lines from a large text file, a

 followed by their id-number.

 m9718508:pw:9301:840: Lynch  :/home/pgstud/m9718508:/bin/bash

 So for instance if I need to extract lines where;

 the 1st field, the username begins with an m

 the 4th field, the group contains exactly 850

 cat passwdfile | grep ^m | grep 850  output

 is close but fails if the value 850 appears outside the 4th field. In
 the above example which should be ignored 850 appears in the username
 and home directory and is therefore extracted.

 Any ideas.

how about something (seemingly simple) like this:

of course, there are pitfalls... we're asuming that there are only FILES

[CentOS] copy/paste centos 6

2012-08-15 Thread Jerry Geis
I had to update all these packages on CentOS 6 for a project.
Everything works great on CentOS 6 - except - Copy/Paste between 
applications.

Anyone - know which application below might control that function?
Example I cannot have firefox running and copy and paste text into 
thunderbird.
Both applications - actually all applications work - I just cant copy/paste.

I'm thinking I did not correctly compile one of the applications below - 
or did not
satisfy a dependency. I am just trying to narrow it down.

Any one have insight into this?
