Our firewall runs on CentOS 5, x86_64.

It runs on a HP Workstation with dual core Xeon 5140 2.33 GHz.

Intel dual 82571EB NIC, one NIC for the external (we have 1 Gbit
internet connection), and one NIC for the internal connections
(two VLANs, one with DMZ other with ~250 machines). No NAT.

This is of course not a big setup, but the CentOS/Fedora mirror
in the DMZ does give some traffic.

The iptables setup has 119 rules.

No problems whatsoever with performance.

I've made a kickstart configuration for the firewall.
If we get a hardware crash on the fw, we can take another
machine and get it up running as a new firewill
within a few minutes (the most timeconsuming is formatting
the root partition). This is quite a nice setup.

[CentOS] Very strange problem i have faced in my 2 years carrier

[umair shakil]

Dear Concerns,

I would like to share a very strange problem. I am from Pakistan/Islamabad.
Last month i was on trainning
from Askari Bank Limited (Juniper). Here in Askari i m running NMS--> MRTGs
using CentOs 4.4. On trainning i recieved
a call from collique saying

 "when i "su -l" NMS says "root user doesnot exist". and also MRTGs not
working. well i was amazed how was it
possible. In the Evening i came back to office. I boot the machine in single
user mode and type the command;

less /etc/passwd

here when i found that user root existed, but the only thing that was
amazing is;

the spelling of root was changed from "root" to "R00t". i changed to "root"
and every thing worked.

I want to ask, what is this, this doesnot seem a garbage value or nor
corruption of passwd file. only showing someone changes this. Here we have
bank private network, only two people have access  for it  me and  another
guy.

what are your opinions??

Please also share your strange experience.

Umair Shakil

Hi,

Either modify the PATH environment variable in your script so that it 
includes /usr/bin or specify the ftp command that must be inside this

If you are doing anything other than 'yum update', then you are doing it wrong 
:)

Just boot a centos 4.3 cd/dvd into rescue mode, mount your filesystems rw, and
install the glibc package from the CD with 'rpm -r /path'.

And don't forget to update your system as the current is 4.5.

Absolutely nothing is working at the moment, rpm, yum, etc.  I presume
I'm going to have to boot from a rescue CD of some kind.

Goodness ... the Stuff you have in your closet at PARI.

Best as I had roughed out plans for a builder some months ago, 
would be access to a console with root access, and a rebooter, 
and a side unit (a generic PC box with plenty of HD space, 
with a 'crossover cable' network to the s390, and a seperate

and to pull from

Let me ask the other centos-developers and see if anyone

Coming in to C5 for 3 months before and a month after, I asked 
on the Marist List, and of IBM, and on the LSB calls, and 
privately, and could never get any of the people who 'needed' 
and 'wanted' s390 CentOS to return my emails.  After that, I 
gave up.

For stateful firewalls, one should use OpenBSD and pf if .

netfilter has caught up on the stateful side with tcp window tracking 
but I do not think that support is in Centos 4 and below. Centos 5 
should have it.




The other half of my questions is about performance.  I have read many 
articles and posts on the net about performance tuning but they all seem 
to be about tuning a single host, not a router.  Does any have any tips 
in this area?  Is tuning even required.


If it is a natting firewall, forget about performance. There is a 
maximum to natting support beyond configuring the maximum number of 
connections being tracked.


Bridging stateful firewalls will find OpenBSD both more stable and 
better performing. Non-natting stateful firewalls no comment sorry.




For the sake of the conversation lets assume I am referring to CentOS 5.


For full stateful support, we would have to. All previous Centos only 
offer connection tracking.

now, I haven't dealt personally with s390 since it was s370 and 
punchcards and mag tape were still de rigeur, so the following is purely 
conjecture.


a reasonable MINIMUM for a test-n-dev machine is likely around 512MB ram 
and 18GB or so of disk.   

it needs to be accessible via ssh from the internet, and it itself 
should be able to access internet.   I assume those have some sort of 
console processor?  that also should be accessible via ssh or whatever 
from the internet.   It would probably be a good idea to have a x86 
centos host on the LAN with it that also can be accessed from the net so 
you can cross-compile and net-install locally.

With RedHat it 'depends'... quite literally. A somewhat core package 
like php is one that can be troublesome to upgrade. Redhat has rarely 
made major version upgrades with php in the past (if ever). This often 
times is due to it affecting one or more configuration files. Since they 
cannot know if your config files are customized from the initial 
installation, they normally don't do an upgrade since it could break 
something. Instead, they backport security bugs and issue their own 
numbering system so you have good security with the older version. Add 
this issue to other issues that might occur, like something a hosting 
client might be running on their website.. or heck, even the system that 
creates all the pages of their website and a simple upgrade has the 
potential to break a lot of things. And then we could go off into all 
the php modules for apache, mysql, graphics programs and on and on.


I get frustrated by the slow adoption of new packages by RedHat, but at 
the same time I am extremely happy that they chose this business model. 
I don't need to run a bunch of updates to find out later that I've taken 
down a bunch of websites, interrupted email service or created other 
negative effects. So, in the end, I like it how it is. If I really can't 
stand it, I'll do an upgrade myself and deal with the ramifications myself.


Dovecot comes to mind right now.. two nasty bugs that are driving me 
nuts and both are fixed in 1.x. and several other additions done purely 
to take care of the badly broken Outlook email client. So, I can either 
do the upgrades myself which fixes these problems but can break things 
like SquirrelMail depending on your configuration. The 
interrelationships are not always easy to even think about.


There is however a big push to php5 by the years 2008 by the developers 
of php. Fortunately CentOS 5 contains php5, which will likely be 
upgradeable thru a few minor releases.. perhaps at least 5.2.


Best,
John Hinton

Subject: [CentOS] php 5.2
To: 
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="windows-1250"

Hi,

I was asking about php 5.2 because I would like to use this program with
these requirements:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/system-requirements

This ecommerce store is built with the zend framework and requires php 5.2.
Mcrypt is not in the centos mirrors either.

I did manage to get this beta ecommerce store installed on php 5.1.6-12 by
removing the mycript line in the install xml file and also changing the
initial install page code to not be less than 5.1 I wouldn't think this
would be good to do for a production program.

I would prefer to stay with the centos mirror as this is what I have setup.

Hopefully centos will have php 5.2 in the future.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Melinda Odom

Well, if we have the hardware, the next step is to find the people who are 
interested in doing the work :) Let me ask the other centos-developers and see

Ping is a very cheap and acceptable solution !

Anyway you'r certainly curious about the problem :-)
This is a problem about ARP request.
Maybe another machine with low activity share the same
IP or your
 swith/hub
is badly configured !
You can use arping to detect any device with the same
IP and tcpdump
to look for arp request."arp -an"  will show you the
arp table.

When I do /sbin/arp -an in the server box it does not
contain entries for ip address where the server, it is
ok? I observed that when I ping the server from other
machine, it replies but from time to time displays
time-out. We use this server for our mail and proxy so
it is affecting us when time outs occur. Tsk tsk.

[CentOS] CentOS 5 on IA64

[James A. Peltier]

Hi All,

I am looking for information on when CentOS 5 will be available for 
IA64.  I found this forum posting but no responses


http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8714&forum=45

I am looking to perform a large migration of about 500 workstations from 
various Suse and Red Hat versions to CentOS to standardize some what. 
Because I have to support x86 (32 & 64) and IA64 it would be nice to do 
this all at once.   I know that CentOS 4.5 supports all the platforms 
listed, but if it's going to come out soon I'll just wait as it offers 
my users a lot more in terms of packages and support.


BTW: Anyone out there have CentOS on SGI Altix?

yes, it is a 3ware 9650SE-8ML.

I used the driver disk during the install, and the installer saw the 
raid devices.  I deselected them during the partitioning of the install
disks, and the installed system doesn't see those devices.

I then updated the kernel and the new kernel doesn't see the devices either.

When I boot the old kernel again, it still doesn't see the devices.

Bothe kernels see the card though (looking in /var/log/messages after boot.

It is telling you that "--with-sitedir=/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby" doesn't exist 
as a file, which is obviously correct.  You probably have an extra newline char 
or missing continuation char.

No, --target is used to specify the target arch, eg. --target=i386 or
--target=i686.  

The %files sections are for creating subpackages.  The first %files lists files
that will be in the ruby package, the second are the files for the ruby-devel
package.  You'll see corresponding %package, and possibly %post, %pre, etc.
section.

My motherboard do support such BIOS upgrades (really nice since it's OS

But it won't power on at all. The CPU FAN doesn't start, the disk

Rajeev,

I've been chasing this same problem for a couple of years now. It seems 
to happen the most often when first the connection is a fast connection 
and second when there are a lot of files to transfer. I've reduced the 
number of concurrent connections in my ftp client. I've done passive and 
port modes and I still don't know what is causing this but it is 
extremely irritating.


If you find a solution, please post it back to this list for others to

I have never had an OS make a machine where a hard reset wouldn't reboot it. 
Are you sure that some hardware didn't fail at the same time? Maybe the power

Ken,

In your configuration did you tune any sysctl settings or leave with

RE: [CentOS] Centos Router

[Ken Price]

My best tip for tuning performance:

Don't until performance becomes an issue otherwise you have no
basis of determining whether performance has improved.


Let me add a second tip:

Don't tune a parameter unless you know what is does.



While probably not popular, those are very good tips.

I can give you some comparative performance info using CentOS3 and  
CentOS4.  CentOS5 will probably give equal or slightly better  
performance depending on specific configurations.


Harware:
4 Dell PowerEdge 350's (2 routers, 2 NAT firewalls)
PIII-850
512 Mb RAM

Bandwidth:
Average 25-35Mbps
Peak 80Mbps sustained for 1-2 hours
10k-25k connections

NAT Firewall:
CPU usage approx 2-8%

Router:
CPU usage approx 2-4%

With the above specs, I was approaching the connection threshold with  
512Mb RAM (32768 = theoretical max) and beginning to drop connections.  
 This was quickly fixed by adding an additional 512Mb RAM and  
adjusting the CONNTRACK_MAX accordingly.


Hope this helps.  All boxes were running Keepalived for failover.   
Fairly straight forward routing so no software used except routing  
tables, IP, and IP forwarding.


Hope this helps!

Evidently defective. I have found another reference that describes
sub-packages.

So the unqualified %files directive is for the base package and the
qualified ones are for the sub-packages.  Is this correct?

Seems to me there is room to suspect a hardware issue instead of acpi.
I would confirm power supply connector to mainboard by removing and
reinserting until properly seated.  Also would confirm two wires from
power button on case/chassis are correctly connected to proper pin
terminals at edge of mainboard.  If still no joy, would swap a known
good power supply.  If that fails, you might try removing the power
switch leads from the pin terminal strip and use a phillips screwdriver
blade or other appropriate tool to short the proper pins momentarily to
start the beast.  I have replaced three bad power switches in the recent
few years, so they do fail.

Given this snippet:


%files -f ruby.files
...
%files devel -f ruby-devel.files

I speculate (since the rpm manual is not very helpful on the matter) that
if --target= is not specified then the first file command will execute but
not the third and include all of the files listed in ruby.files only
whereas if --target=devel is specified to the rpmbuild command then the
first and second commands will execute and include the contents of
ruby.files and ruby-devel.files.

Is my understanding of this correct or in what matter is it defective?

Something I've never tried, but I don't think the NIS bit will work - 
you can have MD5 passwords in local /etc/passwd files and crypt 
passwords from NIS.


I believe NIS doesn't care what string of characters is used in the 
password field of the NIS passwd file, however user applications may. 
e.g. I think yppasswdd expects crypt strings to be passed about.


If Linux can use MD5 NIS passwords, then you might still have problems 
if you also have non-Linux NIS clients.


I guess the easiest way to test is to generate an MD5 passwd string and 
update your NIS source passwd file for a test user and see what happens ...

Depending on the way your Driverdisk is setup - it would have only installed the 
drivers for the kernel you installed initially. So if you have problems talking 
to the 3ware drives, try booting from that kernel instead.


If you want to keep the driver in-place even when the kernel updates, you might 
want to investigate the weak-updates process and how you might get a driver 
included into that. Pretty much everything you need to make it happen would be

Yes, but it turned out that my install media was indeed corrupt, even though it
passed media verification.

I got a new iso image for the install dvd from a different location, and
burned a new disc.  I did an install from this w/o the earlier reported hang,
or SQUASHFS errors.

I couldn't figure out how to do the raid1 boot device on the MB controller,
or how to do it via s/w raid in the installer, so I installed onto a single 
disc on the MB controller.  I now have 2 individual disks which show up as 
sda and sdb.  I did custom partitioning in the install and set up a /boot, / 
and swap partitions on sda.  I set up additional swap and other partitions 
on sdb.

During the install, I deselected the sdc and sdd, devices during 
partitioning (these are the raid arrays on the 3ware card).  Each is over
2 TB as they stand, so I was afraid of problems with the mke2fs step, and
thought I'd create filesystems after initial boot.  I believe I need to use
4KB block size (or maybe 8KB) to get 2TB filesystems, and wasn't sure the
installer would do this correctly.

The installer saw the 3ware devices (2 of them) because I loaded a driver
from floppy (linux text dd).  I just didn't use them in the install steps.

I ran the install as described above and put grub on the MBR of sda.

The system now boots, so I ran a yum update, which updated 156 packages.
The kernel was updated too, so I set it up to boot the new xen kernel.

The large arrays on the 3ware card don't seem to be recognized either before
or after the yum update.  The /var/log/messages file shows the 3ware card was
found, but doesn't seem to find any exported devices...

The smartd man page indicates I need to use /dev/twaN in the smartd.conf
file, but these device files don't exist.

I'm stuck and at a loss on how to find these 3ware arrays to put filesystems
on.

is this through a driver disk?  I'll have to delve into this another day, I 
need to get this machine online with the big raid arrays useable ASAP.

> Was your MB setup by the reseller with the 2 320 GB drives in Raid1? What

No, I added the disks after the machine arrived w/o any OS installed.  At boot
time I see the six onboard slots, with two 400gb grives recognized.

Following this, the 3ware bios reports the other 8 disks in two arrays.

Lastly the adaptec scsi card bios shows no devices attached (this if for the
tape drives later).

I have, but not as raid1.  I still haven't done a raid1, because I just 
installed on a single disk to get down the road.

Unfortunately I can't see my 3ware raid arrays now...  I'm getting a bit 
frustrated.

Actually to take Geoff's idea 1 further, install locally compiled
version of samba into prefix /usr/local/samba like Geoff stated, but
keep the binaries off the path, then use 'alternatives' to link in
your locally compiled version to their /usr/bin location so it
appears as a standard install.

You can then use the rpm relocate feature to install the distro
version of samba into prefix /usr/samba and provide a second
'alternative' for the distro version of samba.

int/sec is fine for your hardware.

Try a tcpdump of both the external and internal interface at the same
time. Try to focus on 1 proto-typical stream of traffic from a known
host (like your own) to a known destination from connection open to
connection close.

Then open up the dump in wireshark and look at the timestamps and if
there are any resends with smaller MTUs and such.

You want to see if there is a large delay between sent packets and
ACKs.

My motherboard do support such BIOS upgrades (really nice since it's OS
independent) but you need to get to the POST before you can ask it to
search for the floppy.

But it won't power on at all. The CPU FAN doesn't start, the disk
doesn't rotate, the monitor doesn't get any signal. The only thing that
indicates the slightest sign of life is the LED on the motherboard and
my keyboard if I press Num Lock.

Is there something on the motherboard I can disconnect to reset the ACPI
table?

[CentOS] yum proxy username with @ character

[David Toman]

Hi,
I am having problem with setting up the proxy for yum correctly. I have 
got no influence on proxy policy or authentication methods. The proxy 
username contains the '@' character.
My question is if there is any way how to enter the username correctly 
into the yum.conf. I tried many ways but has not been successful yet.


Many thanks,
David

Thanks.

What is the best recovery disk out there?


For an all purpose recovery disk, I use Knoppix.  To fix grub/booting 
problems, I use Super Grub Disk.

There's a LED on the motherboard which should indicate whether it's
discharged, and it turns off after 3-5 secs whenever I unplug the power
cord. I've let the system stay unplugged for 3 hours with the same
result. I tried your advice but it didn't help. Thanks anyway.

Re: [CentOS] Unable to POST after suspend

[gjgowey]

I have one idea that may work.  Try seeing if your bios supports a bios upgrade 
floppy (it would say so in the owners manual).  Now by bios upgrade floppy I 
don't mean the usual type that use an os.  There are some that the bios will 
directly read from without an os being used.  The concept is to recover from 
failed bios upgrades.  The reason I suggest this is because I think the setting 
that's keeping your system off is hiding in your bios' acpi table and I don't 
think a bios reset will dump it, but a bios upgrade might.

you cant build a rpm with duplicate file listings.

To find out exactly what is going on, look at the bit which creates the .files 
that are then used in the %files section to workout what which files go into 
what rpm. There would be an overlap there.

Some time ago I built ruby-1.8.6 on my development machine and have been
using it for a new project.  I now wish to move that to a trial deployment
server and do not wish to have to install a full development suite there
simply to build ruby-1.8.6.  I also would like to learn something about
the Redhat package manager for its own sake.

I have discovered that the duplicate file names in the documents set

Re: [CentOS] Unable to POST after suspend

Try to power on the computer when the power cord is disconnected to
discharge everything.
Or be patient, sometime the problem disappear after 1 days.

[CentOS] Unable to POST after suspend

[Mark Rosenstand]

Hi,

I just tried the live CD for CentOS 5.0 on a desktop computer and
decided to see if suspend worked. It seems it did, but I'm unable to
start the machine again.

It's a DIY system with an Asus K8V-X motherboard[1], an AMD Clawhammer
3200+ and 1 GB of Kingston ECC RAM. The system has been perfectly stable
despite being utterly abused on a daily basis for almost 3 years.

I've tried:
- unplug power cord
- reset CMOS
- remove BIOS battery
- remove all RAM

When resetting the CMOS, the CPU FAN and hard drives power up, which it
has never done before (IIRC). This is the only way I can get anything to
power on, there's no reaction whatsoever when I hit the power or reset
buttons.

Please don't tell me that clicking a button in a GUI menu has broken my
favourite testing PC permanently. Any hints would be very appreciated.

Ping is a very cheap and acceptable solution !

Anyway you'r certainly curious about the problem :-)
This is a problem about ARP request.
Maybe another machine with low activity share the same IP or your swith/hub
is badly configured !
You can use arping to detect any device with the same IP and tcpdump
to look for arp request."arp -an"  will show you the arp table.

[CentOS] MD5 and NIS

[Jeremy Sanders]

Does anybody know whether it is possible to enable MD5 passwords for NIS and
local passwords? Is it just a matter of running

authconfig --enablemd5

and new passwords will use MD5 and old ones will still work?

Of course using LDAP might be a "better" solution (if it was easy to
install).

I've tried googling and didn't get any useful answers...

In addition to my posting above. When I make ping to
other machine from the server, the server will again
restore and accept connection. This is weird, so my
temporary solution is to let the server continually
ping other machine. Please help. Thanks again.

[CentOS] Network Connection Card Problem?

[Jun Salen]

Hi List,

My Mail/Proxy server has from time to time refuse to
accept accept network connection. If I restart the
network service, the service will again start to
accept connection but after some time will again
refuse connection. I use CentOS 4.5 with Squid,
DansGuardian, Postfix. Please can someone point me
what are the possible cause of this. Thank you.
