[CentOS] making a new initrd

2016-02-29 Thread Philip Manuel

Hi,

I built a new kernel for C7 that contains the required driver for a new 
motherboard we have here.


I'd like to take this initramfs and rebuild it/modify it so that it is 
suitable for pxe booting.


I have tried

dracut -v  --force --add "anaconda" initramfs.img  # results in an image 
that is too large for tftp


Or

dracut --nofscks --nomdadmconf --nolvmconf --xz --no-early-microcode -m 
"anaconda"  --force initramfs.img # kernel panics


What steps should I be taking to create an initrd image suitable for pxe 
boot ?


Thanks

Hey Rodrigo,

Thanks for your reply.

Well those errors are pulled from the Chrome developer tools.

  I notice if I do a GET on that file using both all lower case as well as
the upper case that's in the URL I get the same result:

[root@aozwsls00019la apache2]# GET

pThe requested URL /mycpmpanystore/images/altImg.png was not found on

This is how that file looks on the command line. I made a symlink to
account for the change in case, because I realize that's relevant:

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 128 Aug 27 12:22
/var/www/nbcstore/images/altImg.png

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 128 Aug 27 12:22
/var/www/mycompanyStore/images/altImg.png

Still not sure why I'm not able to do a GET on that and those other files.
Appreciate your input tho! And any other advice is certainly welcome!

Hey guys,

  Just have a question about apache. Hoping to get an opinion on this.

  I've just setup a site under apache 2.4.

  And made sure that the document root setup in the vhost for the site I'm
serving has permissions for the apache user. Yet some of the files are
throwing a 404 error in a browser even tho they are clearly present and
accounted for on the file system.

For example, I'm getting this error:

(index):1 GET
http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images*/altImg.png
404 (*Not Found)

(index):1 GET


http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images*/Jimmy_485x1215_R2.jpg

404* (Not Found)

(index):1 GET


http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images*/Jimmy_792x802_R2.jpg

404* (Not Found)

(index):1 GET


http://stage.theshopatmycomany.com/mycomanyStore/images*/Jimmy_792x413_R2.jpg

404* (Not Found)
And yet as I mentioned all those files are definitely there on the file
system:

[root@aozwsls00019la apache2]# ls -l
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/altImg.png
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_485x1215_R2.jpg
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x802_R2.jpg
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x413_R2.jpg

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon128 Aug 27 12:22
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/altImg.png

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 260983 Jul 16 14:03
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_485x1215_R2.jpg

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 126628 Jul 16 14:00
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x413_R2.jpg

-rw-r--r--. 1 daemon daemon 222568 Jul 16 13:56
/var/www/mycomanystore/images/Jimmy_792x802_R2.jpg

And all those files have the correct ownership for apache:

[root@aozwsls00019la apache2]# egrep -i user|group conf/httpd.conf |
egrep -i -v -e '#' -e log -e module

User daemon

Group daemon

All the files are owned by daemon:daemon!! So why on earth are these

files

giving a 404?

This is my virtual host for the site:

Subject: [CentOS] Finally CentOS on iMac core 2

I've been trying several combinations of OSX, CentOS to try and get CentOS
installed on an old iMac. I finally first installed OS X, then installed
CentOS in the open space after OS X. With refit installed and selecting
CentOS, it starts booting but get a screen that a boot device can't e
found. So I then install Xubuntu with the option to replace OS X.  After
Xbuntu is installed and then do a reboot the grub screen comes up and I can
now select CentOS and it will boot.

Can someone explain why this is?  I can't just install CentOS on the whole
disk, as I get the blinking mac disk with question mark.

Thanks,

this is due I believe due to the partitioning scheme of the iMac, using GPT, 
and as grub does not support GPT partitions. you have to use grub2. Hence, why 
xubuntu works.

You can download and unpack src.rpm pf the python package and look at 
.spec file, it should be there.

[CentOS] selinux and tinydns

2013-02-13 Thread Philip Manuel
Hi all,

tinydns starts up fine, selinux reports no issues (now after a day of 
clearing errors).

If I turn selinux back to permissive in /etc/sysconfig/selinux, and 
reboot, tinydns responds to queries.

If I turn selinux back to enforcing and reboot, tinydns does not respond.

Monitoring /var/log/messages shows no errors from iptables/shorewall or 
selinux.  The only way I can find an error is performing the following:-

netstat -npl | grep tinydns  # gives me the process id
strace -f -p process id

 From this I can see that tinydns is reporting an error of:-

recvfrom(3, 0x606720, 513, 0, 0x7fffc7321ec0, 0x7fffc7321edc) = -1 
EACCES (Permission denied)

I've got setroubleshoot set to send me an alert on first occurrence of 
an issue, so far none received.

Does anyone know how I should proceed from here ?

Thanks

Phil.

Re: [CentOS] E17 on CentOS6?

2013-01-09 Thread Philip Manuel

I run E17.  It is beta so just be aware you will have issues.  I find it to be 
fast and at the moment relatively stable.  There is no tab support in 
terminology, but I used screen to get round that issue.

It would help if you said why you want to consider E17 - i had a bitter 
experience with it. I use xfce for a lighter desktop which i much prefer now to 
gnome. You will be compiling and doing the testing with E17 - xfce is well 
tried and proven straight from the install disk (you're bound to have some 
conflicts and problems somewhere installing E17). Could try several desktop and 
see which you prefer - selection is always on the login window under 'session'.

 In earlier versions 'mii-tool' would iterate over interfaces and

 What is the appropriate way to find which of some number of of
 interfaces are connected?   Better yet, what is the least typing
 to
 get the mac addresses of those interfaces?
 Dumb question: in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, do the ifcfg-* have
 HWADDRs?
 They do, but the case I want to cover is where an existing server is
 cloned, or the disk has been moved from a failed chassis to a spare.
 And in this case the existing files will be wrong, and the nics will
 be named more or less randomly.   Assume the hands-on operators don't
 know much about linux and you can't actively help until they get at
 least one of the right IP's on the right NIC.

 With 5.x I'd use mii-tool to find the connected interface (connecting
 one wire at a time if necessary), then ifconfig on that interface to
 get the hwaddr, then edit that into the ifcfg-* file for the names I
 want the active NICs to have, and reboot.   That's awkward enough to
 ask someone to do who already prefers windows, and it looks like it
 just got harder by having to explicitly run mii-tool for each possible
 interface (and we always have 4 to 6 per box).   There has to be a
 better way.   I thought 6.1 was going to have a new NIC name
 convention but I haven't had time to look into it and have to make
 something work now.
 Your situation is the textbook usecase example for biosdevname
 (http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname). It is a way to consistently name the
 network devices according to their physical location in a computer. For
 example, a typical NIC would not have a name eth1, but p2p3 (which means
 port 3 of the NIC in PCI slot 2) or em2 (which is 2nd ethernet port on
 the motherboard). So once the hands-on operator plugs a cable into a
 particular port, you immediately know the corresponding interface name that
 the system will use for that connection. And in addition, this is MAC-address
 independent, so moving the hard drive from one box to the other requires
 basically no reconfiguration (as long as the operator plugs the same cables
 into the same sockets).

 The biosdevname was first introduced in Fedora 15
 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming), ie.
 only after RHEL 6 was already rolled out. Apparently, it has to cooperate
 intimately with the kernel, udev, initscripts, dracut, anaconda, kickstart,
 etc., --- so it is not just a userland app which one could yum install in a
 trivial way.

 Therefore, somehow I doubt that CentOS 6 will ever see biosdevname 
 implemented
 (maybe in the CentOSplus kernel and a use at your own risk label?), since 
 it
 involves too many system changes and breaks backward compatibility. But RHEL 
 7
 is almost certainly going to have it, since this is actually the proper (and
 permanent) solution to the problem you have.
 I thought I saw it mentioned in release notes for RHEL 6.1 but it said
 something about support being limited to certain Dell models.  I'm not
 sure it is going to be perfect anyway, since most of the machines in
 question have Broadcom NICs on the motherboards and the ones we
 actually use are on Intel cards that may not exactly match types or
 slot positions.   But I'd settle for something that had something to
 do with the slot position...

http://www.pkje.net/meander/?p=115 - this may help on the device 
ordering for 6.x if you know the mac addresses then you can fix the 
names of the interfaces

 There is nothing in 6.1 CR, your machine does not seem to see the
 updates for the i686 arch, although the x86_64 directory does contain them.

 Do you have an exclude=*.i686 someplace in your yum setup.

 The same directory that contains dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 also
 contains dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.i686.rpm ... you are seeing one
 (x86_64) and not the other (i686).
OK but why when there are no i686 packages installed on the machine is 
it trying to look for them?  If I remove the offending x86_64 packages 
and put the base equivalent on then the issue goes away, but I shouldn't 
have to do this step.

 No, sftp is actually supported, somewhat, in OpenSSH 5 for this to

 problematic. It's also awkward to maintain, the chroot cages require
 the relevant binaries nad libraries in each user's chroot cage. (I
 used to publish the software changes for this, years back under SunOS

 Frankly, don't. Use ftps, which Dovecot supports directly, or WebDav

 the Logical Volumes that are housed within the VG.

 I realize that I could just create a new partition on my HD and just add it
 to my Volume Group and extend my Volume Group, however, given that it would
 be two contiguous partitions on the HD, I was just wondering if there was a
 way of resizing the original partition within the VG without causing any
 problems.

 I tried looking at tools like pvresize but I can't seem to understand the
 right arguments to use it as whatever I try never seems to resize the

 that doesn't seem to allow me to make the PV any larger.

 Does anyone have any suggestions?

 Hi I remember having done this once recently on a test system.  And I 
 strongly suggest you don't attempt unless you have a good backup.  You 
 use the standard tools to resize the partition and then pvresize to see 
 the new size of the PV.  Once you can see that the new size of the PV is 
 recognised by the VG you can allocate the space.

 Check your nfsnobody user and try changing its id to something below

 Instead of listening to people tell you they don't think it can be
 done, you should just try to make it work and see!
 

 You really miss the point... The whole reason of using RHEL instead of
 CentOS is Red Hat's support. If you don't need or have their support,
 using RHEL is actually *worse* than using CentOS, as you won't have
 updates.

 On the other hand, if you call Red Hat to ask for help to fix an issue
 and it turns out they find out you upgraded a CentOS into a Red Hat
 server, they will certainly refuse to help you (and would be right to
 do it).

 If you really need Red Hat, you should do a clean install. Period.
 Upgrading from any other existing Linux install would be the same as
 aiming the shotgun towards your own foot...

 HTH,

[CentOS] rpm and md5sum query

2009-06-05 Thread Philip Manuel
Hi,

If I do an md5sum across 4 machines all running Centos5-x86_64 on 
/bin/bash why does it show a different checksum ?

- ssh box4 md5sum -b /bin/bash

53d2152059125e221a38099369e5777e */bin/bash

- ssh box6 md5sum -b /bin/bash

e22fb934b0a4a840a330f47559d27205 */bin/bash

- ssh box5 md5sum -b /bin/bash

34bd0269a3ca9ce15e3bf56957d95609 */bin/bash

- ssh box2 md5sum -b /bin/bash

c830775b0f99dcd7a0d1dd6117f7d721 */bin/bash

More intriguing is that rpm -V shows that the binaries match the rpm 
database on each server.

Thanks

Re: [CentOS] Certificate system

2009-04-26 Thread Philip Manuel
Does anyone know if I can integrate any of these systems with ssh keys?

For example I'd like to be able to hold and revoke ssh keys centrally, 
and then systems would be allowed to accept keys at certain times from 
certain individuals.  This is similar to http://web.monkeysphere.info/ 
but I think I'm after something goes a bit further.

Thanks

 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Certificate system

 Quoting j.witvl...@mindef.nl:

   
 Hi all,

 Can anybody inform me wether the  RedHat Certificate System or 
 actually a CentOS equivalent is available for CentOS.
 Just skimmed on a download site through the RPM's for 5.3 and I 
 couldn't find it.
 According to their pressrelease, it the code should be gpl, allthough 
 I can't find any rpm for RH, FC or Centos.

 It seems that this is one of the few CA-packages for large scale 
 deployment of certificates.
 Only alternative AFAIK is OpenCA, which seems to be hardly
 
 maintained...
   
 ( binaries on their site are old, and source code yields lots of 
 errors during build..)
 

 The Fedora version of RHCS is called Dogtag
 http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page
 You might have to modify/rebuild their SRPMS.


 Yes, i came across dogtag.
 However i got the impression it was something in the same category like
 tinyca or pyca.
 Perhaps it is based on the code of RHCS, and all documentation is just
 some wiki pages.
 Bit different from the docu from RHCS-7.3 (Their admin guide is over 600
 pages)

 I was asked to make a proposal for an (large) opensource CA/RA/ocsp/

 If selected, i make them order an official package with support from RH.
 But i would like to have some hands-on experience before, and not get
 all my information from paper.
 OpenCA has also quite some nice docu (but doesn't live up to it), and
 used to be included in some distro's. 

 So, ejbca seems to be more appropiate than dogtag (if i can't get RHCS)

No if the user uses the umount command they get permission denied, not 
device is busy.

 Yes the usb stick/memory mounts correctly, but then they are not allowed
 to unmount it, using for example umount /media/device  We are using
 Centos5.2 64bit
 

 I see that you are using 64 bit, I'm using 32 bit, but I doubt that
 this would work differently, between the 2 versions of the OS. As Mark
 (mhr) wrote, if you use GNOME, just right click the icon, to unmount
 the USB stick.

   
You are correct we could use konqueror, we use kde, to unmount but if a 
CD/DVD is mounted correctly to allow a user to unmount why can't a USB 
memory device ?

[CentOS] UDEV rule allow users to unmount USB stick

2008-12-22 Thread Philip Manuel
I'm trying to understand why a normal user is not allowed to unmount 
their USB stick?  I think it is most likely a udev rule.  does anyone know ?

Thanks

Re: [CentOS] 5.2 driver for Marvell Yukon 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller

2008-12-09 Thread Philip Manuel
This is handled by the sky driver I believe although support for it was 
removed recently.

 Hello,

 I'm trying to install CentOS 5.2 on an HP 6730s notebook.

 All's going well except for one little item -- the networking. Never 
 thought I'd have trouble with an Ethernet adapter, so I didn't even 
 check before buying this machine; it was cheap.

 The adapter is a Marvell Yukon 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller. I 
 can't find a Linux driver for it except one that appears to require me 
 to recompile a custom kernel. I find it on the Marvell website:

 http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do

 It looks like I'll have to recompile the kernel to get this installed. 
 Having read the warnings on the CentOS Wiki, I figured I should ask 
 before building my own kernel for the first time.

 Do I have other options?

 Thanks!

[CentOS] HW issue during instalaltion

2008-11-17 Thread Philip Manuel

Hi All,

I have a shuttle SN78SH7 with a Seagate ST31500341AS (1.5Tb) drive. With 
windows Vista it sees the drive and can install to it.  So far with GRML 
or CentOS5.2 they do not seem to be able to see this drive.  Is there a 
particular setting I need or does CentOS not support installation to 
these drives yet ?


Thanks for your help

Phil

It uses a NV chipset,
nVidia GeForce 8200, 
http://au.shuttle.com/product_detail_spec.jsp?PI=939 . I added an Intel  
Ethernet card to get over the Marvell Ethernet issue, and a NVIDIA 
8600GT card.


I forgot to add I used no additional driver disks to get Vista to see 
the disk.

Well, what ICH (or does the MB use a NV chipset) do you have?
Is that supported by CentOS/RHEL?
Question: Where does one actually find out about the supported 
hardware, other than booting and 'D'oh, it doesn't work?

We tend to use CentOS for our desktops as well, hence the request to 
this mailing list.  We do not wish to have Ubuntu installed.


Thanks

Try Ubuntu, you probably wouldn't need additional driver disks to
get it workin' either. CentOS is a server oriented distro, not
a desktop distro. Hardware differences between desktop and server
are almost night and day in many cases. The system you link to
is most definitely a desktop class system.

Or perhaps Fedora, though I'm not much of a fan of the short
support cycle for Fedora(assuming it's still 6 months).

With Ubuntu(and possibly Fedora) you get the added advantage
of tons more packages than what is included with CentOS/RHEL
without having to resort to problematic 3rd party repositories
or crazy yum configurations to try to keep a sane installation
running.

CentOS works great for what it's built for.
