Hola,

 - yum history con esto ves las últimas acciones con yum.
 - yum history info num, donde num es un ID de acción y puedes ver
 que ha pasado.
 - yum history undo num, deshace la acción.

Estas opciones todavía no están en CentOS 5, pero si en 6...a tener en cuenta.

Gracias por el aporte Oscar. Lo revisé y no tengo habilitado SElinux en 
este servidor.
En cuanto reinicie el servidor comentaré en este foro si resultó o no. 
Por el momento tendré que esperar al momento más adecuado para hacerlo.

Saludos y gracias a todos por su ayuda.

 Hola Miguel,
 Si tienes el SELinux activado yo haría un ls -lZ para comprobar que
 todos los ficheros tengan el contexto bien etiquetado, no sea que al
 reiniciar SELinux no te deje ejecutar algunos ficheros...

 Supongo que habiendo instalado el kernel y grub desde rpm's ya debería
 estar bien etiquetados...pero bueno, es un momento comprobar esto.

 Suerte!!!

Sip, algo de eso estuve leyendo, aparte también está el tema de CentOS 4.9
al que le dieron aún mas prioridad y ya vio la luz :-)

Yo vengo usando CentOS desde hace algunos años y me parece una magnifica
distribución, no es que quiera apurar a nadie, solo me dio curiosidad el
porque de la demora; pero viendo el contexto me doy cuenta que hay razones
más que suficientes para este retraso así que seguiré esperando

Re: [CentOS] Apache/Active Directory authentication

2011-03-22 Thread John Hodrien
On Tue, 22 Mar 2011, Michael B Allen wrote:

 Hi John,

 You would not have to create dummy machine records. The
 servicePrincipalName attribute on an AD account is multi-valued and
 clients can request and get a ticket for ANY principal in that list.
 So you only need one account.

 And you do not need special permissions if you have an existing keytab
 because you can use the keytab to authenticate with AD and add
 servicePrincipalName values to the account itself. At least in theory
 you can. I don't know if Samba's routine for adding HTTP SPNs is smart
 enough to know that it needs to not just add servicePrincipalName
 values but that it will also need to rebuild the keytab.

Yes, but using the machine principal you're able to request any number of
service principals that are SERVICENAME/machinename.  For this to work in a
virtual hosting environment, you need multiple machine names (since we're
talking about making a number of HTTP/blah principals).  Whilst I accept
this is possible, I don't see how you'd do it without being a domain admin.
How do I create the records starting from a position of only having the
machine credential for the web server, and at best another user credential
with rights to create machine objects?

With domain admin rights, I get how your scheme works, although it wasn't a
route I'd previously considered.

 Try this 8-port one from LevelOne:

 It has an expansion slot which accepts a IP module:

 I use the base KVM, without the IP module, and it is very stable. It
 connects a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to USB and/or PS2 ports on the
 servers.

 It is also cascadable.

 I hope this helps.

Which is about $400, not counting cables, which are expensive.

Tnx for the asnwer!

Last night we'v made some research to find out which RAM modules bugged.

To be noticed we have 8 modules 4G each.

First  we'v removed a3,b1 slots for each cpu, and there were no changes in
HW behaviour. Errors appeared after boot.

Then we'v removed a1,a2 (yes i know that for hight performance we should
place modules starting from a1 but it was our mistake and in any case server
started) and ...and there were no errors during 1h. Usually we can observer
errors coming ~every 5 mins.

Then we'v placed back 2 modules. At that step we had a1,a3,b1 slots occupied
for each cpu. No errors.

Finally we'v placed last 2 modules...and no errors. It should be noticed
that at that step we have exactly the same modules placement as before
experiment.

Sounds strange, but at first glance looks like smthg was wrong with modules
placement. But we cant realise why the problem didnt show for the first
days, even month of server running. Noone touched server HW, so i have no
idea what was that.

Now we are just waiting will there be errors again.

You know..

I once had a *whole rack* of blade servers, running CentOS, where
someone decided to save money by buying the memory separately and
replacing it in-house. Slews of memory errors started up pretty soon.
and I wound up having to reseat all of it, run some memory testing
tools against them, juggle the good memory with the bad memory to get
working systems, replace DIMM's, etc., etc. We kept seeing failures
over the next few months as part of the falling part of a bathtub
curve.

I was furious that we'd saved perhaps 2 thousand bucks on RAM,
overall, and completely burned a month of my time and made our clients
*VERY* unhappy and come out looking like fools for not having this
very expensive piece of kit working from day one.

In the process, though, some of the systems were repaired
permanently by simply reseating the RAM. I did handle them
carefully, cleaning the filters, removing any dust (of which there was
very little, they were new) and checking all the cabling. I also
cleaned up the airflow a bit by doing some recabling and relabeling,
normal practice when I have a rack down and a chance to make sure
things go where they shouuld.

And I *carefully* cleaned up the blood where I cut my hand on the heat
sink on the one system. Maybe it was the blood sacrifice that appeased
the gods on that server?

You could get a regular KVM, then connect a Lantronix Spider or Spider
Duo to the console side of the KVM.  I have done this locally and it
works for the most part.  Make sure to get the PS/2 version as the USB
version provides a composite keyboard/mouse connection, which is
probably not supported by cheaper KVMs.

domain determines what the refresh rate (it's called TTL in DNS) for
their records is; for example, Google has a TTL of once per hour and
my domains (maradns.org, etc.) have a TTL of one day.

* As mentioned before, Scientific Linux 6.0 is out.  What hasn't been
mentioned here is that while SL 5.6 hasn't come out, 5.6 security
updates are being backported to SL 5.5.  Ditto with SL 4 (no 4.9 but
security patches look current)

Take care everyone,

- Sam

mark, you are absolutely right :) Approximetely 1h ago errors appeared. They
appeared only once since reboot, but they r back. Hi there :(

The good idea is that CPU numbers changed, so now we have cpu 1,2,3 and
18,19,20,21.We definetely moved broken modules to another slots.
Anyway bad dimm is really a good news for us instead of e.g.  motherboard.

We are going to continue party this night or tomorrow morning, and determin
which two modules are broken.

Is it possible to determine which physical dimms correspond to those cpus
noticed in mce messagees? We have two rows of slots(6 slot for each row) one
for cpu1 and second for cpu2. Used slots marked as
cpu1-a1,cpu1-a2,cpu1-a3,cpu1-b1 and cpu2-a1,cpu2-a2,cpu2-a3,cpu2-b1.

I remeber that you adviced to divide cpu number on physical core count. We
have 2 quad core proc, so 8 cpu. 1/8=0 Is it cpu-a1 slot or depends on
situation? I hope we will find those bustards ourselvs but hint would be
great.

And one more thing i cant funderstand ... if there is,say, 8 cpu numbers
per each memory module(in our situation), why we see only 4 numbers and not
8 e.g. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ?

Re: [CentOS] dns question

2011-03-22 Thread Devin Reade
As was previously mentioned, you need to be more clear about what 
you're asking.  There are multiple related concepts.  Look up a 
description of the SOA record, in particular the refresh, retry,
expire, and minimum TTL fields.  The first three affect how DNS
secondary servers behave.  The last can affect client responses,
but you can also have per-record TTL values and zone default TTL
values.

This link might be a good starting point for understanding the 
SOA parameters: http://rscott.org/dns/soa.html

If you're trying to solve a problem with DNS secondaries keeping 
up, watch that you're incrementing the serial number.  If you're
using split zones (views) or other esoteric configurations, things
get a whole lot more complicated.

 Ideally a 3-4 port switch for a few hundred seems reasonable to me.

I can attest that the Adderlink iPEPS and iPEPS-DA are excellent units.
They're both in the 500-1000 range.  They're intended for a single
machine, but as long as your access policies allow for it, putting
an electronic KVM switch (~$200) between multiple servers and the
iPEPS works well.

You're not going to find much that is usable under that price range.
Some of the lower end solutions from other vendors are windows-IE-only.
The iPEPS uses encrypted VNC.

First of all big thnx for helping mark.

In your example everything is ok. But i am lost with what we have.
Previously we recieved messages like i post in the first mail:
CPU 51 BANK 8 TSC 8511e3ca77dc
MISC 274d587f6141 ADDR 807044840
STATUS cc005501009f MCGSTATU

And always there were same cpu numbers. I really dont know why do mcleog
show such numbers but thats what we have.Always Bank 8 and there were
32,33,34,45 and 50,51,52,53 numbers in CPU field.

You encouraged us that it is a dimm problem and we decide to make a little
research which i described up the thread. During that wev replaced DIMM
moduels between slots, so now we have BANK 8 and cpu 1,2,3 and 18,29,20,21.
It really seems that some how those numbers connected with RAM modules.

But... as i sad we have following slots
   CPU1cpu1-a1 cpu1-a2 cpu1-a3 cpu1-b1 cpu1-b2 cpu1-b3
   CPU2cpu2-a1 cpu2-a2 cpu2-a3 cpu2-b1 cpu2-b2 cpu2-b3

We have modules placed in such way:
++++++++
|  |  V | V  |  V |  V |
free|free|
++++++++
|   CPU1  |  cpu1-a1| cpu1-a2 | cpu1-a3 | cpu1-b1 | cpu1-b2| cpu1-b3 |

++++++++
|  |  V | V  |  V |  V |
free|free|
++++++++
|   CPU2  |  cpu2-a1| cpu2-a2 | cpu2-a3 | cpu2-b1 | cpu1-b2| cpu1-b3 |

Definetely there is something with memory banks,becasue replacinbg moudels

 Ideally a 3-4 port switch for a few hundred seems reasonable to me.

 I can attest that the Adderlink iPEPS and iPEPS-DA are excellent units.
 They're both in the 500-1000 range.  They're intended for a single
 machine, but as long as your access policies allow for it, putting
 an electronic KVM switch (~$200) between multiple servers and the
 iPEPS works well.




 Isn't it cheaper, at this price range to get a motherboard with
 built-in KVMOIP support? I know many Intel  SuperMicro server boards
 offer this either on board, or as an added module. Even on the smaller
 / cheaper SuperMicro boards I could add KVMOIP support for about $40
 per server. And, it doesn't takup any more space on the racks and has
 much less clutter than those spiders

 Note. This is *NOT* CentOS, this is general systems discussion.

 That's great until you want to connect another session, or haven't had
 a chance to configure a new machine and want to do it remotely, or you
 want to leave your mom's netbook in the rack while you re-install it
 for her. (This just came up on another list.)

True...

Both have their pro's  con's, but in our case we'll always only use
rackmount servers which is why I prefer the onboard modules.

 Definetely there is something with memory banks,becasue replacinbg moudels

This isn't an optimal setup (performance-wise). You should always
populate complete slots in multiples of 3 to get the full bandwidth.
In your case, you've got cpu1-b[2|3] and cpu2-b[2|3] with no DIMMs so
that would affect your performance.

 True...

 Both have their pro's  con's, but in our case we'll always only use
 rackmount servers which is why I prefer the onboard modules.

The overhead and instabilities of installing the components and
configuring these features is adventuresome. Simply explaining to a
client's inventory management that *they have to record the MAC
addresses when they receive the hardware* so that the DHCP setups and
network setups can be done gracefully has been awkward. For a few
servers in a personal, or small business rack, it's not a big problem.
But even the big hardware vendors can be very confusing to learn all
the interface tricks and configurations for, and in a mixed
environment it can get out of hand really, really fast.

I've had a devil of a time demonstrating, and explaining to clients,
why they need these tools, right up to the point when they say but,
but, but, I can do that with the Windows servers and showing
them, on the purchase orders and the emails, where they paid for that
service and where they refused to allow me to install the drivers
because that wasn't part of the project.

This has actually gotten *MUCH* better with our favorite upstream
verndor's 6.0 operating system, and I'm looking forward to CentOS 6.0
with baited breath. The really cool features of IPMI have matured a
lot, and in some cases no hardware vendor drivers are needed, It Just
Works with the basic system installation. Unfortunately, I don't have
a rack of hosts to test this on this week, or I'd suggest it.

No, what you need to see is a) whether what you did was valid (for the
Supermicro m/b on the server I'm working on right now, the manual says the
a-banks must *ALWAYS* be populated...), and b) you might find some
troubleshooting info to help you identify which DIMMs are the problem.

Nope. From your original post:

It could be that 4.8 doesn't really understand the CPU.

Yes.

Only Ubuntu distro update tzdata and i updated my ubuntu laptop and copy
Turkey and Istanbul file to CentOS server and then change manually OS
time to 28 Mar 2011 02:59:50 and i waited 10 second.

When the time is 02:59:59 , date was changed to 04.00.It seems work.I will
replace this two files with new files on all other CentOS and Redhat server.

I hope this helps other people.

[CentOS] HP z3200ps printer ppd

2011-03-22 Thread m . roth
Now that we've got the thing, does anyone know what ppd I can use for it?
I've seen someone recommending:
  - the generic postscript ppd;
  - the hplips driver.

I also see ppd's for a DesignJet 800ps, and ones for the 5000ps and
5500ps. Has anyone had any experience with any of these?

Upstream Vendor is working on this.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684212

I know that a similar issue was with chilean DST and CentOS made this
Update available although 5.6 isnt out yet. See

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2011-March/007053.html

Maybe CentOS will provide this update too, or you can rebuild the SRPM
yourself as soon it is released by Upstream Vendor.

Not that it matters, but the last time I checked, SL had not released
their 4.9 or 5.6 releases either.  I am not sure what you are trying to
accomplish here.

SL is a fine product and people can use it if they want, but lets not
pretend that they are releasing every point release before CentOS.

In fact, I would suggest that someone check the release dates for all
version 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x releases for both CentOS and SL (I'll include
it in this post)

SL did indeed release a 6.0 before CentOS.  For all of the other 25
possible releases, SL released before CentOS on 5 of the 25 times.

Here is the list:

CentOS SL
3.1 03/19/0405/10/04
3.2 NR  06/28/04
3.3 09/17/0410/01/04

Don't get me wrong, SL is a good build and I highly recommend it ... but
they do not beat CentOS on releases by months as seems to be insinuated
here in the last couple of weeks.

 Right. The php53 package is in the upstream vendor's updates, all of
 which are held up for CentOS release behind the 5.6 release. I'd like
 to see it get somewhere into the CentOS 5.5 releases, even if it's one
 of a select few components in the updates that are published in the
 5.5 release.
 
 It's hard to consider CentOS equivalent to the upstream vendor's OS
 if the updates are so far behind that commonly available packages are
 incompatible with it.

So ... go away and don't use it.  Is someone forcing you to use CentOS?

What other distribution that is free has released their 5.6 release?

 Ideally a 3-4 port switch for a few hundred seems reasonable to me.

 I can attest that the Adderlink iPEPS and iPEPS-DA are excellent units.
 They're both in the 500-1000 range.  They're intended for a single
 machine, but as long as your access policies allow for it, putting
 an electronic KVM switch (~$200) between multiple servers and the
 iPEPS works well.

 You're not going to find much that is usable under that price range.
 Some of the lower end solutions from other vendors are windows-IE-only.
 The iPEPS uses encrypted VNC.

Hi Devin,

This is interesting. But can you switch consoles remotely using
special keystokes? Or do you need to physically walk over and switch
the conventional non-IP unit?

 Hi John,

 You would not have to create dummy machine records. The
 servicePrincipalName attribute on an AD account is multi-valued and
 clients can request and get a ticket for ANY principal in that list.
 So you only need one account.

 And you do not need special permissions if you have an existing keytab
 because you can use the keytab to authenticate with AD and add
 servicePrincipalName values to the account itself. At least in theory
 you can. I don't know if Samba's routine for adding HTTP SPNs is smart
 enough to know that it needs to not just add servicePrincipalName
 values but that it will also need to rebuild the keytab.

 Yes, but using the machine principal you're able to request any number of
 service principals that are SERVICENAME/machinename.  For this to work in a
 virtual hosting environment, you need multiple machine names (since we're
 talking about making a number of HTTP/blah principals).  Whilst I accept

The machinename of the principal does NOT have to match the actual
machine name. You could create a User object called alice with
servicePrincipalName values of HTTP/as1.busicorp.local,
HTTP/mycomputer.net and HTTP/test1 and requesting tickets for any of
those names will work just fine. AD just searches for an account with
a servicePrincipalName value that matches the principal requested for
the service ticket.

Pedantic note: If you have the same servicePrincipalName value on more
than one account, AD will actually choke and not return a ticket at
all (because the request is ambiguous), there is no constraint in AD
to stop people from accidentally adding the same SPN to multiple
accounts and AD will not return any kind of meaningful error about it.

The CentOS team has a good history and tested binary compatibility has its 
advantages - but they do rely on the upstream which previously was not openly 
hostile to rebuilds.  It's not necessarily even possible to get binary 
compatibility if matching source isn't made available.

Re: [CentOS] Affordable KVM over IP switch

2011-03-22 Thread Miguel Medalha

 That part isn't a function of the iPEPS, it's a function of your
 KVM switch.  So yes, I was thinking about models that do it with
 a particular key stroke.  I've used the D-Link DKVM-8E as a decent
 low cost unit, although it has the tendancy to get confused during
 a full power outage of your data center, requiring a hard reset.
 Because the DKVM-8E takes power from both its own power brick and
 from the keyboard connectors, you can't reset it by using a remote
 power distribution unit; you have to have someone present in the
 data center press a button.  Given my druthers, I'd use a different
 unit that didn't exhibit this behavior, but I find it's not too
 onerous (I've had two cases in the last 18 months that required
 this on-site intervention, and even then the servers are fine; I
 just can't reach the consoles.)


The D-Links are NOT suitable for professional use. I used one of their 
models and it hanged on me multiple times. Because it is powered by the 
keyboard/mouse/video connectors, the only way to recover it is to 
physically disconnect ALL cables and reconnect them again. As long as 
ONE of the sources of power is connected, the unit won't recover. 
Someday you quickly need to access a machine only to suddenly discover 
that you are stuck and can go nowhere. A real PITA!

Re: [CentOS] The delays on CentOS 5.6 are causing EPEL incompatibilities

Right, but as these numbers reveal, since June 2008 Scientific Linux is 
closing the gap with CentOS (or rather, CentOS is slacking). You can 
see this when comparing CentOS and RHEL release dates. Since June 2008 
CentOS started having longer delays (source: Wikipedia)

 https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/CentOS

Where the average release delay was 25 days before June 2008, the average 
release delay after June 2008 increased to 51 days, and I am not including 
the already late CentOS 5.6 and CentOS 6.0 (otherwise it would be 62 days).

CentOS 4.8 (95 days late) and CentOS 5.3 (69 days late) have been the worst 
delays. But now CentOS 5.6 is already at 69 days and CentOS 6.0 is past 
133 days delay, an all time record (not counting CentOS 2 :-)).

So the trend is a decline in release speed and maybe we should lower our 
expectations. CentOS users have been spoiled in the past.

Kind regards,

You keep tossing out late.  late implies a published deadline
and I've yet to see one.  I see best effort and will try
comments in many places, but never a published deadline.  So,
why the focus on late?
