I do not see much sense in these scripts. Most affected applications
(httpd, named, sendmail, ssh, xinetd) can be configured with native
methods to listen on a limited set of interfaces. 'portmap' is the only
daemon where v_portmap might be useful, but it is not used very much
today resp. only by programs which can run in the host only. And the
missing reports about the broken startup order in v_portmap tells me,
that this script is unused. ;)

Re: [Vserver] V_xxxx not running ?

2005-07-24 Thread Benoît des Ligneris
Hello,

Well, I think that this is a useful tool for the vserver project.

We are using v_portmap as well as some others v_* scripts. After having
installed several vserver hosts I think it is much more easy to modify
the services than to go after every application and modify one or
several configuration file.

Also, it is easy to check the existing services running on a given host
and to create the v_* scripts in order to make sure that no port
conflict will occur between the vservers and the host. This is a general
solution to this kind of problem whereas fixing each application
individually can be, IMHO, a pain...

[Vserver] Install issue with yum - /var/lib/rpm/ ?

2005-07-24 Thread Brian Ipsen
Hi,

 I'm trying to install a WBEL4 client OS via yum (the RPM list has been
attached here).
Unfortunately, I have some issues with a messages, that pops up during
installation. I'm not quite sure, whether this warnings/errors shows up due
to missing dependency settings in the RPM - or it could be an issue with
installing via RPM...

The errors I get are:

/bin/chown: cannot access `/var/lib/rpm/[A-Z]*': No such file or directory

I've located this to ve caused by the post-install script from the rpm
package:

/sbin/ldconfig

# Establish correct rpmdb ownership.
/bin/chown rpm.rpm /var/lib/rpm/[A-Z]*

# XXX Detect (and remove) incompatible dbenv files during db-4.2.52 upgrade.
# XXX Removing dbenv files in %post opens a lock race window, a tolerable
# XXX risk compared to the support issues involved with upgrading Berkeley
DB.
[ -w /var/lib/rpm/__db.001 ] 
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_stat -CA -h /var/lib/rpm 21 |
grep db_stat: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version 21 
/dev/null 
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*

exit 0


Anyone ?

Re: [Vserver] Install issue with yum - /var/lib/rpm/ ?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Brian Ipsen) writes:

 I'm trying to install a WBEL4 client OS via yum (the RPM list has been

The rpm list does not matter (and is ignored by the '-m yum' method).


 Unfortunately, I have some issues with a messages, that pops up during
 installation.

It's only a message... because yum does not do proper error-handling,
the installation will succeed nevertheless.


 I'm not quite sure, whether this warnings/errors shows up due to
 missing dependency settings in the RPM - or it could be an issue with
 installing via RPM...

This happens because the rpm package has bad assumptions regarding the
availability of the rpmdb in %scriptlets. Because of security reasons,
this rpmdb is hidden and 'chown /var/lib/rpm/[A-Z]*' will not find a
file where it can operate on.


 The errors I get are:

 /bin/chown: cannot access `/var/lib/rpm/[A-Z]*': No such file or directory

A workaround would be, to add a

| touch $vdir/.rpmdb/FORTYTWO

or (better, but untested)

| ( cd $vdir  $_CHROOT_SH append /var/lib/rpm/FORTYTWO /dev/null )

to the 'initpre' script of your distribution.
