Great! Working now. Thanks.

I've read the man page but didn't understand that option to be what
I'm looking for.

[CentOS] LVM: how do I change the UUID of a LV?

[Timothy Selivanow]

I know how to change the UUID of Physical Volumes and Volume Groups, but
when I try to do the same for a Logical Volume, lvchange complains that
"--uuid" is not an option.  Here is how I've been changing the others
(note that "--uuid" does not appear in the man pages for pvchange and
vgchange for lvm2-2.02.26-3.el5):

pvchange --uuid {pv dev}
vgchange --uuid {vg name}


Any suggestions? I'm pretty much open to any arcane/convoluted
procedure, but I refrain from copying the data to a temp place so I can
re-create the LV as that would add too much work and would kinda defeat
what I'm doing.  Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry. That was a typo.

I have just tried using a target as a file and it does seem to work
with the -f option. It's only when the target is a directory that it
fails:

$ ll

$ ln -s dir2 link

Your example doesn't have -s?  I assume that was a typo?

Anyways, ln -sf does exactly what you describe.

$ ls -l foo
lrwxrwxrwx  1 garrick rds 3 Mar  4 15:24 foo -> bar

Yup, the home directory is listed properly in /etc/passwd and the user 
owns the directory which is perms 755.


I think this might have happened a few years ago when I did an install 
of dspam which had it's own procmail file. I looked at the procmail date 
and it was June of last year which I would expect was an update.


-rwxr-xr-x1 root mail80064 Jun 12  2007 procmail

So I don't think the procmail executable is the wrong one. As best as I 
remember, the way dspam did this was to point to a different procmail 
executable from within sendmail which I have long ago removed. Some 
piece of junk must be laying around somewhere. I'm not having this 
problem on any other server and then on this one only in the root user 
directories and not the subusers for that domain, which is the reason 
for /var/www/user and /var/www/user/homes/subusername


Now for how the heck to track this one down. I love whacko when it 
gets really old and resurrects its ugly head months or years later!

[CentOS] Overwrite target of ln

[Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists)]

Hi all,

Sorry if this seems too basic.

But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without
first deleting the symlink itself?

For example, if I have this:

public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228

... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following:

$ ln releases/site-latest public_html

I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected.

We're seeing this too, across multiple mirrors, include apt.sw.be. It looks

include at least:

- syslinux
- perl-Curses
- perl-DateTime
- perl-HTML-Tagset

Indeed I have seen this. It happens when you run VMware on a 64 bit
Linux platform. I have commented out (with a #) both lines 114 and 115
in VmPerl.pm with no ill effects. I tried to figure out the cause, but
I am not  perl guy, so I gave up and went for the easy fix.

Oops! I knew there was another place to do this.

In /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter

Here's my config override. I apparently looked at the config on the 
first machine I set up this way which had it in the init file.


### Override for your different local config
#SOCKET=/var/run/spamass.sock

### Default parameter for spamass-milter is -f (work in the background)
### you may add another parameters here, see spamass-milter(1)
EXTRA_FLAGS="-r 10"

I have thought about dropping it, but it is just too late to do that.
There has just been too much mystique surrounding it especially when I
wear my kilts.  At this point it always offers a good subject of
conversation at cocktail parties, and I am so used to the teasing it
does not even get to the dander of my red hair :)

No, 802.1q has a concept of 'native' packets being assigned to a

You can not believe the fights I got into all the way through grade
school.  I did not really learn how to deal with it until my college
years when a bunch of my buddies yelled 'penis' from the back of a
chemistry class composed of about 500 students.  I usually sat up front
so this time I turned around stood up on my seat faced them and yelled
back the word 'jealous'.  

After that the teasing seemed to stop to my dismay  I had started
liking the name by then :)

Not really a good idea to reject all spam. Spam filtering is not that black
and white.
Suppose a legitmate email gets tagged as Spam.
This does happen trust me and more than likely its a email your boss has
been waiting for.
You'll want a some way to retrieve it.
  


I think it's a wonderful idea to not let spam into the server at all.  
If a legitimate sender is sending email that is inadvertently marked as 
spam, it will be returned to sender and they will be notified.  That's 
actually why I'm trying to switch to a 'don't let it in to begin with' 
policy.  Currently I use the spamassassin to mark spam and clients get 
their email and have a habit of giving the spam folder a glance over 
looking for legitimate email.  Well, that completely defeats the purpose 
of marking them spam to begin with?


I'm basing this decision on having run an email server for the last 8 
years, listening to the complaints of huge spam folders and mail being 
'lost' in the trash because it was falsely marked as spam.

The spamhaus RBLs are the most reliable in my opinion. They will kill 
about 60% of the spam and it's a reject at smtp. Note that for hosting 
or ISP environments, you should really pay them for this service.


There are milters for SpamAssassin. You can set them to reject mail at a 
particular score level. So, if for instance you felt comfortable with 
rejecting mail at a score of 10, which is pretty reliable, you can also 
do that at smtp level.


Just in case it hasn't been said, never bounce mail but only reject.

From there, I receive the mail and use procmail to deliver it into Spam 
folders in my user's mail areas. I have a script that runs once each day 
which removes any mail from these folders that is over X number of days 
old. I think I have that set to 5 days at the moment. So, it is self 
maintaining, you don't get a panic call from a client wondering why they 
didn't get that mistakenly marked as spam email as it's in their spam 
folder.


This is working pretty well for me. Oh, and BTW, I also run the clam av 
milter, so viruses get rejected at smtp level as well.

You do not need to change the user and group. The default groups
are fine, apache should be able to traverse the directories and
read them; thus, serve them up without a problem. 

So long as apache has permission to read the contents (correct
permissions) you do not have to change the user/group to be
specific to apache.

I would refrain from making anything writable (unless necessar) by
apache anyhow. Just for the sake of security.

Sincerely,

Alex White

Not really a good idea to reject all spam. Spam filtering is not that black
and white.
Suppose a legitmate email gets tagged as Spam.
This does happen trust me and more than likely its a email your boss has
been waiting for.
You'll want a some way to retrieve it.

I use mailscanner also, works great.

I delete whats called high scoring spam and deliver the low scoring spam.
Since the low scoring spam is tagged as spam.
You can either use mail client rules or a procmail receipe to move it to
another folder.
That way, the user can retieve it themselves.

you can configure the simple default firewall with the GUI 
system-config-securitylevel, or the command line version, 
system-config-securitylevel-tui (uses curses to give a text menu 
interface)...  this will allow you to enable ports, either standard 
services like www, or custom port numbers.


You can enable/disable selinux via either of these tools, too.

Using the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts will use vconfig for
you.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try and explain
something.  VLAN trunking is when you have multiple VLANs traversing a
physical link, such as between two switches, or in your case (I think),
between a switch and a server which you want to have multiple interfaces
on (in various VLANs).  Each ethernet frame is tagged with the VLAN id,
which the receiving end uses to decide what VLAN the frame should be
forwarded too.

I'm not sure about the vlan 1/untagged nature; it "just worked" here,
and might have something to do with the configuration of the switch
you're connecting to.

MimeDefang is good too, and perhaps a little more efficient.  It and 
clamav (if you want to tie in a virus scan for windows clients) are 
packaged in rpmforge.  MimeDefang runs as a sendmail milter (i.e in real 
time during the smtp conversation) and gives you a small snippet of perl 
where you can control most of your mail scanning and delivery behavior.

Create multiple ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, e.g. for
multiple VLANs on eth0:
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth0.2
ifcfg-eth0.100

The number after the decimal is the VLAN id (default (1), 2 and 100

turn on trunking on the switch to which you're attached.  The network

Try disabling iptables and see if you can then access it:

# service iptables stop

Then you know it's iptables, and can add an iptables entry for apache:

# service iptables start
# iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 
-j ACCEPT
# iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 
443 -j ACCEPT
# iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables

Or do so graphically through /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel

Or disable iptables all together (if behind a firewall) with:

# chkconfig iptables off

Also, are you simply getting a time out or a connection refused
error? It sounds, as has been stated before, like an iptables
issue.

If you're getting some other error it would be excellent to know
what that error is. Are you seeing any errors in
the /var/log/httpd/error_log or in /var/log/messages?

I'd think though that it's just iptables blocking the port.

Sincerely,

Try disabling iptables and see if you can then access it:

# service iptables stop

Then you know it's iptables, and can add an iptables entry for apache:

# service iptables start
# iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 
-j ACCEPT
# iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 
443 -j ACCEPT
# iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables

Or do so graphically through /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel

Or disable iptables all together (if behind a firewall) with:

# chkconfig iptables off

The port could be being blocked by iptables.

you're exactly right, but i thought minimal installation doesn't include

As was suggested earlier, it sounds like a firewall issue. You should check
your firewall settings. If you don't know how to do that, I'm sure it's in
the guide I pointed you to yesterday.

you should be able to untar the .thunderbird tarball into another place,

remember to note where the email is expected, and there will be files

want to get all those over to the new instance.

Also, you might need to rename of the files if you now have new folders
with the same name ( eg. inbox )



now having said that, before you do anything, check ~/.thunderbird for
more than 1 directory called .default, and check the
profiles.ini file in the same place. its possible you are just looking
at a new profile, and switching over to the older profile will be all
you need.

And then you can work out howto get emails from one side to the other.

Wrong mailinglist, please move this to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Answer:

If you want support for both CentOS 5.0 and CentOS 5.1, you need
to create 2 config files, one for each. (You could also put them
in the same)

centos-5.0.conf and centos-5.1.conf

If you also want the extra repositories on both, you can work with
internal links, or download it twice.

Thanx, I figured as much, seeing that each version has it's own repo on 
the mirrors.
I have run mrepo -vv -u to see what it does, but it seems like it's 
going to download every file from the CentOS repositories. Where do I 
copy the rpm's that I have already downloaded to? For example, all 
the rpm's in /var/cache/*/packages folders?


The location is in /etc/mrepo.conf defined as "srcdir = /var/mrepo". 
You can opt to change this to wherever you want, or make a symlink 
from /var/mrepo to wherever you want. There is a strict structure 
underneath that directory.


I have already changed that to my network shared folders, and I'm busy 
downloading the scripts now. Am I on the right track if I copy files 
from existing servers / machines' /var/cache/yum/*/packages to the 
corresponding folders on in the mrepo source folders?
Another way to find the answer to this question is to run mrepo with 
more -v's like mrepo -v, so that you can exactly see what it is 
doing.


Or you could opt to read the documentation that ships with mrepo that 
explains all of this as well.

That is the first real misconception you need to overcome. 5.0 and 5.1 
aren't really "different". They are the same software at different 
patch levels. Similar to Windows XP with service pack 1 and Windows XP 
with service pack 2. There are very few reasons to stay with an older 
release of the software, and if you don't know what those reasons are, 
you don't need to use the older releases.



I understand the different versions fully :) The only reason I have 
both, is cause of some servers still running on CentOS 5.0, and we're 
only starting to move to 5.1. But, I do have some DVD's with 5.0 (both 
i386 & x86_64), so I'm not going to bother with 5.0 on the local 
repository. I'll only rsync the 5.1 (i386 & x86_64) files from the 
remote servers. We still have a lot of i386 CPU's, and some 64bit CPU's 
as well, so it will help a lot to have the 32bit files / rpm's as well

Weird, I guess maybe it calls for a bug report to be filed for anaconda.

I would probably just setup swap on LVM anyways if I was using LVM, so
it's not a show stopper, but it seems with anaconda right now if you
are doing kickstart and using LVM then swap needs to be on LVM.

Can you try this while you have your test system working:

I removed the '--grow' and '--maxsize' options from the pv.os partition setup as
you know what the size you want it to be, there is no need for these. I also
moved the --asprimary option to the /boot partition, really only /boot needs to
be --asprimary, and then again you really only need that if you have existing
partitions on disk that are being preserved, which with 'clearpart --all' you
won't have.

I would put swap into the volgroup though as there is no need for a completely
separate swap partition anymore. In fact swap files work just as well these
days as swap partitions or swap logical volumes, but anaconda still needs a
swap partition or logical volume, so create a swap logical volume, then you
can extend it later if necessary or create a swapfile and move over to that.

It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup

Our normal kickstarts cover all the things you suggested so we have and

But there definitely appears to be a problem with LVM being made

Adding a swap section to the lvm setup seems to be like a work around or 
requirement for now.

Wrong mailinglist, please move this to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Answer:

If you want support for both CentOS 5.0 and CentOS 5.1, you need
to create 2 config files, one for each. (You could also put them
in the same)

centos-5.0.conf and centos-5.1.conf

If you also want the extra repositories on both, you can work with
internal links, or download it twice.


I have run mrepo -vv -u to see what it does, but it seems like it's going to 
download every file from the CentOS repositories. Where do I copy the rpm's 
that I have already downloaded to? For example, all the rpm's in 
/var/cache/*/packages folders?


The location is in /etc/mrepo.conf defined as "srcdir = /var/mrepo". You 
can opt to change this to wherever you want, or make a symlink from 
/var/mrepo to wherever you want. There is a strict structure underneath 
that directory.


Another way to find the answer to this question is to run mrepo with more 
-v's like mrepo -v, so that you can exactly see what it is doing.


Or you could opt to read the documentation that ships with mrepo that 
explains all of this as well.

Ross,

Thanks for taking the time to answer.  I am familiar with the technique
in fact I use a burst rate for port 22 connections.  If I can not find a
POP3 server to do to limit bandwidth, I'll use iptables.

Thanks again,

Greg

Maybe setup a firewall that limits bandwidth per session based on a
percentage of available bandwidth with a burst rate.

There are how-tos out on the net on this.

Are you sure you really want to turn off selinux?

If you reboot, unless you change /etc/sysconfig/selinux, your
machine will have selinux re-enabled.

Disabling is impossible without reboot. You can put it into permissive
mode with "setenforce 0". 

But normally you shouldn't need to turn off SELinux at all.

[CentOS] dovecot & bandwidth limit

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Everyone,

I am having some bandwidth problems caused by large e-mail files with
dovecot.  From my research into dovecot it appears that there is no way
to limit the use of bandwidth during POP3 deliveries.  

What recommendations might some of you have for a different POP3 server
that can limit its own bandwidth use.

[CentOS] Re: looking for kernel sources

[Scott Silva]

  
VirtualBox' error log said "can't find kernel source" - that's the 
wording they used, so I just used what it said :)

And your comparison to cars is not completely correct. It is not
buying a car and changing the tires. Replacing a kernel is like
replacing the engine of a car. And I don't see the company that made
that car still service it if it does not contain their engine.
That is because their install script is looking for /usr/src/linux to be a 
symlink to the current source. But the newer versions of the OS don't create 
that link anymore, and it is up to the user or the software to evolve along 
with it.

That is the first real misconception you need to overcome. 5.0 and 5.1 aren't

Similar to Windows XP with service pack 1 and Windows XP with service pack 2. 
There are very few reasons to stay with an older release of the software, and 
if you don't know what those reasons are, you don't need to use the older 
releases.

It's better to stick to the RPMs to make it easier to upgrade.  If you
want an easy way to install LAMP you can run 2 commands

yum -y groupinstall "Web Server"
yum -y install mysql-server php-mysql

This will get Apache, MySQL, and PHP all installed.

box boot?



I would suggest reading the Deployment Guide
(http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/) which will 
answer

many of these questions.

A place for you to start on this particular question would be the man 
page

of the chkconfig command.

i try to access web server (10.0.0.160), but couldn't found.  so check

my question is why so many of them running???
Your config file has a setting for how many children should be always running, 
and how many connections each can accept before starting more.

How about:

zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --asprimary
part swap --size=1000
part pv.os --size=8000
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow
--snip--

I removed the '--grow' and '--maxsize' options from the pv.os partition setup as
you know what the size you want it to be, there is no need for these. I also
moved the --asprimary option to the /boot partition, really only /boot needs to
be --asprimary, and then again you really only need that if you have existing
partitions on disk that are being preserved, which with 'clearpart --all' you
won't have.

I would put swap into the volgroup though as there is no need for a completely
separate swap partition anymore. In fact swap files work just as well these
days as swap partitions or swap logical volumes, but anaconda still needs a
swap partition or logical volume, so create a swap logical volume, then you
can extend it later if necessary or create a swapfile and move over to that.

Re: [CentOS] LVM and kickstarts ?

[Michael Gale]

Hey,

	So I have created another kickstart that I believe should be correct 
and it fails the same way with the same problems:


--snip--
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part swap --size=1000
part pv.os --size=8000 --grow --maxsize=8000 --asprimary
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 
--grow

--snip--

Hey,

	Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I 
need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed 
down my config.


It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point 
does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol)


It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup 
correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not made active, so my 
/dev/volgroup/logvol did not exist.


Running `lvm lvchange -a -y pathname` from with in the shell after 
anaconda failed made the volgroup / logvol active. Which would allow the 
format command to complete.


Option 1:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part pv.os --size=1 --grow --maxsize=1 --asprimary
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=os_swap_logvol --vgname=os_volgroup01 
--recommended
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow

Option 2:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part pv.os --size=1 --grow --maxsize=1 --asprimary
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow


I do this through kickstart and here's what I use:

bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr yes
clearpart --linux --initlabel --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=128 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part pv.0 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup CentOS --pesize=32768 pv.0
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=CentOS --size=4096 --grow 
--maxsize=16384
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=CentOS --size=1024 --grow 
--maxsize=2048

I haven't tried without swap and I think anaconda expects there to be a swap 
definition
in kickstart, so that might be it, lv wasn't activated because swap was missing.

Best I can think of.

I know that everyone seems to think any mention of RH is cute and
funny, but it's just asking for a lawsuit.  Does anyone remember
LinuxWorld Expo in Boston a couple years ago when RH was releasing
RHEL4.  No?  I do, because that's when CentOS got a letter from RH
legal department asking to remove all references to their name and I
was the one sitting in the LinuxWorld booth trying to justify to
people that CentOS was a valid project and not just stealing someone
else's IP.  If CentOS wants to be taken seriously, especially by big
business, you don't do it by biting the hand that feeds you and
creating bad publicity.  Referring to RH without their permission is
just begging for RH to sue us.  Drop the RH jokes and push CentOS on
it's merit as a stable enterprise OS with a great community behind it.

Also without RH, CentOS wouldn't be.  They make it very easy to obtain
the sources in a manner that makes it easy to build CentOS by
releasing complete SRPMs.  There's nothing saying RH has to release
the code this way.  They could make it very difficult for groups like
CentOS, WhiteBox, and Scientific Linux. Be nice to RH and buy a
license here and there when it makes sense.  They have their place in
the food chain, as do we.


The situation is not as black-and-white as portrayed here. Of course 
CentOS can only exist because of Red Hat. That is in fact the whole idea 
behind CentOS.


But it makes no sense that CentOS cannot tell what it is (read: identity 
crisis), even not reference Red Hat. Even Microsoft or Novell can mention 
Red Hat, so why can't CentOS ?


I doubt there is a legal basis for what people read into Red Hat's letter. 
Anyone can refer to Red Hat as long as they do not imply they _are_ Red 
Hat, or are endorsed by Red Hat.


If CentOS would state that:

CentOS is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

You imply that:

1. You are *not* Red Hat Enterprise Linux
2. You are not Red Hat.

If CentOS would state that:

CentOS is a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources.

You imply that;

1. You are *not* Red Hat Enterprise Linux
2. You are not Red Hat

Even if we would add that:

CentOS is not Red Hat and is not endorsed by Red Hat
or even
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a trademark owned by Red Hat

and put at (TM) sign on top, is all fine and legally dandy and we should 
not fear any legal repercusion. What is more, CentOS is actually enlarging 
the Red Hat community, is offering nice additional packages and 
fuctionality on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS allows people 
to learn and use RHEL without having to purchase it (think of IT 
consultants and students/schools).


I am the first person to encourage companies to buy licenses for 
everything that requires support and is business/mission critical. But 
this whole 'we cannot reference Red Hat because of legal difficulties or 
because of gratitude' is not helping CentOS at all. And therefor it is not 
helping Red Hat either.


CentOS is not in competition with Red Hat and Red Hat would not have 
existed without the Open Source community at large either. There is no 
need for eternal gratitude or eternal loyalty.


Thank you very much :)

Why not ?

CentOS, we FIX RedHat's bugs


Because we cannot fix them. We have to wait until Red Hat fixes them.
We can send patches though, but that doesn't fix anything until they get 
included. So I guess that statement would be misleading at best.

i just installed centos 5 with minimal installation.  next step is to

i found http://lamphowto.com/lampssl.html, but i have questions before i
proceed.

is it better to install from source or rpm?  how easy it is to
upgrade/update if install from source?  it seems so much easy to
upgrade/update from rpm, well b/c i'm always do this way.

is there any other instruction (beside the one mentioned above) to
install
LAMP w/ SSL?

appreciate your help/suggestion
t. hiep


It's better to stick to the RPMs to make it easier to upgrade.  If you
want an easy way to install LAMP you can run 2 commands

yum -y groupinstall "Web Server"
yum -y install mysql-server php-mysql

This will get Apache, MySQL, and PHP all installed.


all done. now, how do i force apache & mysql servers start up whenever the
box boot?



I would suggest reading the Deployment Guide
(http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/) which will answer
many of these questions.

A place for you to start on this particular question would be the man page
of the chkconfig command.



thank you everyone for helping.  done with installation, now move on to 
configuration.
