[CentOS-docs] Multiple version documentation
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, How are we to handle multiple versions of How-Tos? Meaning, I have document foo written for CentOS 4.x, but update it to reflect CentOS 5.x. Do you want a new page reflecting what release it's written for while keeping the old one intact? Do you want it inside the same page? Do you want a new page? I have a few pages I was going to go through and update to using CentOS 5.x, but I know that many people might find the documents still useful for 4.x, so I hate to completely wipe directions for something still being used. Is there a standard for this on the wiki? If not, should one be considered?

Re: [CentOS] NFS/NIS and firewalls
Scott Ehrlich wrote: I have a few C5 machines on an isolated LAN that connect to a RHEL5 server via NFS and NIS for authentication. I discovered that one of the C5 workstations worked fine for NFS exporting, but refused to collaborate with the EL5 server for NIS user authentication. I had successfully connected other systems to this server without issue, but this machine was finicky. I had initially enabled the EL5 firewall, then later disabled it, including selecting --disable-firewall. Still, this one C5 workstation wouldn't cooperate for user authentication. Then, as a bit of an experiment, I opted to visit the EL5 services and manually highlight IPtables, clicked STOP, and tried the verification again. This time, the C5 system got the NIS data. Now, if I want to enable a firewall on all machines - As a server, EL5 does have an option to select NFS services be run on specific ports. How do I configure the C5 clients to also communicate on those ports, thus allowing full NIS/NFS user authentication and directory exporting, all the while with built-in firewall protection on all systems? These are all out-of-box setups, with no updates, and full package installs from the install media. As time goes on, I will migrate to the OpenLDAP world, but I haven't had the opportunity to experiment with that just yet. Thanks.

[CentOS] Use CentOSplus to carry latest GUI packages
I don't know if this has been talked about much in the past, but I was wondering if CentOSplus could be used to carry the latest stable versions of the GUI applications KDE/Gnome. These apps often lag behind quite a bit even on the selected stable branch upstream has chosen. For example, would it decrease stability to update KDE from 3.5.4 to 3.5.8? I think it would add to stability as long as you stay within that 3.5 branch, but upstream thinks otherwise and tries to re-invent the wheel by backporting 3.5.5-3.5.8 fixes into 3.5.4 which often don't work completely and have the potential of creating new bugs themselves. Another thing, Xen, the Xen package says it's 3.0.3, but looking at the SRPM it turns out it's the Xen 3.1 kernel with the Xen 3.0.3 'xm' and 'xend' dom0 utilities. In my book that's Xen 3.1, why not just fix the parts of the 3.1 utilities that broke between releases? Anyways Xen may not be a good candidate as others may have environmental dependencies on the upstream version, but upgrading to the latest minor version within a branch for a given application shouldn't break environmental dependencies, ie provide Xen 3.1.4 if it contains the xm and xend fixes that upstream was looking for.

I don't know rpm internals but I'd guess that simple queries for a specific package or even a listing of all packages don't go very deep into the rpm database.

Thanks for the pointers, Craig. I'm finding that web documentation for LDAP authentication on CentOS is extremely sparse and/or inaccurate. Here's what I've been able to do so far: * Get slapd up and running * Import my /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group using the migration scripts * Run commands like ldapsearch -x -D cn=Admin,dc=example,dc=com -W, which successfully connects and gets info from slapd I would like to use Webmin to manage this, but unfortunately Webmin doesn't seem to find any ldap users or groups. Anyone else have experience getting this to work? sure, I use webmin's LDAP Users and Groups module on every network server that I maintain. It's perfect for my needs. The first question that occurs to me is if you did all that. When you do 'getent passwd' does each user in LDAP show up? Remember that if you still have a user in /etc/passwd and in LDAP (which would be a fatal setup), they would actually appear twice.

How can I resolve this? I see that one suggestion is rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*. How do I rebuild it then? You can just remove the __db* files (if you're sure they're there because of an rpm interrupted process, check first if there are no rpm processes running). __db* are Berkeley DB's lockfiles and are used for transactions inside Berkeley DB. You don't need to rebuild anything, the RPM database is on the other files on that directory. Once you remove the locks you'll be able to access it normally. I found that cleaning the metadata doesn't remove the sqlite databases, so I removed these from /var/yum/cache as well. The rebuilt databases were different, but it didn't solve the problem. You don't have to clean /var/yum/cache since that's yum's cache and the problem you have is with rpm. Cleaning it, however, won't hurt you, you'll only have to download the RPM again.

[CentOS] Perhaps a Perl problem (Re: Syslog timezone issue)

It just occurred to me that these particular daemons are perl programs using Sys::Syslog, so maybe the problem is there. The forked children continue using the same Sys::Sylog object created by the parent, though, so that still leaves me wondering about the inconsistent timezone after the fork. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Syslog timezone issue
We recently upgraded (as in, backup, reinstall, selective restore) a couple of servers from CentOS-3.9 to CentOS-5.1. This generally went smoothly but we've encountered one confusing problem with syslog. Under CentOS-3, syslog entries were always dated in the host local timezone. With CentOS-5.1, they're dated in UTC *most* of the time, but occasionally in the local timezone. This has seriously confused a couple of our homegrown process monitoring scripts. The cron, secure, and maillog logs are all consistently in the local timezone ... it's only /var/log/messages that wanders around. It appears that any given process is consistent about which timezone it uses, but there's no obvious reason why any particular process gets the local zone vs. UTC. For example, we have a couple of long-running daemons that fork children to handle network requests, and although the parent daemon consistently logs in one timezone, its forks (which do not even do an exec, so they should be identical to the parent) randomly switch to the other timezone. What we'd like is for the local timezone always to be used as it was before. What configuration option or whatever, have we missed? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You don't need to rebuild anything, the RPM database is on the other files on that directory. Once you remove the locks you'll be able to access it normally. Hm, the files are __db.001, __db.002 and __db.003 and range up to a size of over one MB, so they cannot be lockfiles. Yeah, maybe they are interim transaction files. After removing and doing an rpm query they are back there, in exactly the same size. I'd rather think they are indexes, there is no transaction necessary for a read query. Anyway, after removing and rebuilding them yum works! Thanks.

This has two issues (at least):
- if the program is a daemon, it returns immediately, so the scrpit will
try to start the program again and again
- if the script gets a signal, it will be killed. back to start.
If you use ``kill -0 pid'' it shouldn't affect the running process, and
will return success ($? = 0) if the process is running, and fail otherwise.
A fairly standard way of checking things like this is:
pidfile=/var/run/progname.pid
progname_signal() {
[ -f $progname_pidfile ] kill -$1 `cat $progname_pidfile`
}
if progname_signal 0
then
echo is running
else
