Re: [CentOS] School Server Setup
Hi Harry, Some good suggestions so far, and I would add these:- 1. Use postfix for your email, not sendmail. Postfix is much easier to configure and use. 2. Install Webmin - a web based server config tool. This will make package customization easier if you're new to Linux. 3. Look into LDAP for centralized user authentication. You don't want to have to create users on 24 machines if you don't need to. If you're keen to host your own email and web site, then you'll need a domain name that is linked to your IP address - e.g. somewhereinFNQ.qld.edu.au I guess you'll need to liaise with the Qld Edu department on making those DNS changes. Anyway, if you get stuck with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me off-line if you prefer. I'm in the Adelaide Hills, so in global terms that's just next door really.

RE: [CentOS] School Server Setup
Go with CentOS on all machines, not only the servers. The turnaround time for Fedora is a tad bit high IMO. I assume your time is not without limits, and with CentOS you'll be supported till like 2014 with patches and stuff IIRC. Fedora is 1,5yrs/release I think. If you can afford it, use RHEL on the server (I think you'll be fine with the most basic entitlement). Remember, if nobody buys RHEL there won't be any CentOS. Install one client and set it up like you want it and create a kickstart-file. Use that file when installing the other clients. For proxy, why not use a separate old machine together with Smoothwall Express 3.0? It's a firewall appliance that includes a transparant proxy which requires no setup on the client-side. Plenty of mods too, like content-filtering to filter out pron and other filth. See here for info on Smoothwall http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=smoothwall. Smoothwall can fix your dhcp-thing too. Installation in general of SW is a laugh, it's that simple. Just keep track of the red (ext) and green (int) networks. 8-) I suggest you start with installing the server and then the proxy/Smoothwall.

Re: [CentOS] iptables starting while disabled
I'm really not sure - it's a control script for setting the security policy of SE Linux I believe. It may control basic firewall settings as well. You originally said that you wanted IPtables off. Even if your SE Linux policy is set to 'enforcing' you should still be able to shut down your firewall with: # service iptables stop and check the to make sure with: # iptables -L -n I think that by default, SE Linux is turned on and set up with a usable security policy from CentOS 4.6 onwards. Perhaps even earlier. I'm not at all versed in SE Linux, I usually disable it for everything other than my DMZ machines because it's been such an absolute pain in the ass to manage. They've got much better management tools now and if you do a bit of RTFM'ing you should be able to find a way to tail your logs, see whats being affected, and add that to the policy to 'enable' it. *there are more elegant ways of doing this - but this is the 'SE Linux 101' method. Aside from that, your only other option is to disable it. i would try to learn a bit more about it and use it as it's intended. It's here to stay and will be included in most distros from here on out - so we should get used to it! You can disable the 'enforcing' at boot or change the flag in the config file somewhere under /etc/selinux as I recall. -Peter 2008/6/10 Joseph L. Casale [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm not sure as it relates specifically to XEN - but I would have a look through the /etc/rc.d directory. If it's not being turned on there, 'egrep -i iptables' /etc/init.d/* and see if it's in any startup script there. Slim chance they may be something in rc.local as well. -Peter Peter, Arghh, system-config-securitylevel had security enabled. So what does that do to start iptables? That was a lot of wasted time :) jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So if you could just state your hardware I'll be very greatful. We run several servers based on RHEL, Debian(Couple Ubuntus), CentOS, running services such as Sendmail, Apache, JBoss, Postgres, Oracle, Samba and DNS. We have around 5000 users logging on these servers. Workstations are basically used for CAD, monitoring, developing in Java, PHP, Oracle, etc. I suppose the easiest route if your into Dell/HP is just go to them and ask for Linux solutions. Dell I think claims to be the #1 hardware vendor for linux. They offer servers with either no OS or linux pre installed. HP offers both servers and workstations with no OS or linux pre installed. (not sure about desktops/laptops/etc). I've used linux on a wide variety of HP systems ranging from DL360 G1 up to G5 and 380s and 580s of various generations. My current company is mostly Dells and we have several different models running linux no problem. Also tons of systems based on supermicro motherboards. Pretty much every server platform runs linux, I can't really think of any that don't(that are at least x86,x86-64 or Itanium). 10 years ago this was more of an issue, today it's not. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] netboot, vnc and no keyboard/mouse/monitor
dnk wrote: hey guys, I just created a custom netboot cd, that launches and loads from a http source, but connects to a vnc listening viewer. All in all, not hard to do, but what is different with this one is that it skips the media check, has no prompts and allows you to start the install on a machine that has no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Was handy for me as when i have some boxes to load, I just plug in power and ethernet in the corner (or where ever I have room) and go through the install. I know it also works with a cd as a source (if you use it from cd 1), and assume it would also work with a DVD (have not tested yet). If you would like it, I can add to the wiki if anyone would like it. You can do the same from a usb key/stick ... I even prefer that method so that i don't have to run mkisofs to recreate the netboot.iso image and burn it ... I've also created a menu (thanks to syslinux.cfg) on the usb key to boot different install (centos 4 and 5 in i386 and x86_64 flavors) with several parameters included ... easier and faster to maintain than a netboot.iso file (my opinion) ... But the best is always PXE booting anyway ... :D There is already a pxe menu howto on the wiki, but i don't mind seeing a 3 lines explanation about modifying the netboot.iso image ... that's just the isolinux.cfg to modify , mkisofs to create the iso and burn .. ;-) -- - Fabian Arrotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet network currently down, TCP/IP packets delivered now by UPS/Fedex ... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Actually I need to copy this on to another server with same folder

I had a server crash last week, and we have restored the files from
the tape. However during this period of making the server up, the
users having adding or changed files from our backup Server (Samba
server which rsync to production server every night.) now I need to
copy the files which user added/ modify last 7 days. Ideally if I can
get this option in rsync it would be better. Otherwise I need to have
a method so that all changed files to go on the relevant folder on
the production server. I cannot take the full files in the backup
files since they are historical backup and there are some unwanted
files.
Can I use scp instead of cp in your statement?. But how does it take
the same directory name as the original location?
Eg:from ServerA/FLDR2/FLDR3/Filename should go to
ServerB/FLDR2/FLDR3/FILENAME
Only change is the server name all other values will remain same.
Any help would be really appreciated.
One approach would be to use the find command given above to generate a
list of files that have changed. Then pass that list to rsync via the
'--files-from' option to transfer them to the other server.

Re: [CentOS] Confirming grub installation
When installing CentOS - sometimes the RAID-1 /boot partition, usually
/dev/md0 fails to boot.
The bug is known and exists on the bugtracker for CentOS as well as RedHat.
The fix is to re-install GRUB on on each partition of the RAID-1 array.
I think you could use the same method to answer your question.
1. boot server w/ any 'Disk-1' of an installation set
at boot prompt type 'linux rescue'
Continue boot.
2. First double check your disks with the mdadm utility
# mdadm -QD /dev/md0
Make a note of every disk (you can ignore the spare)
example: /dev/{sda1, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, sde1}
3. drop into the GRUB prompt
# grub
grub device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub root (hd0,0)
grub setup (hd0)
repeat for each drive in the array
grub device (hd0) /dev/sdb
grub root (hd0,0)
grub setup (hd0)
Rinse - Repeat, etc.
4. exit from GRUB and reboot.
If you then want to test it, disconnect one of your drives - or just
drop into grub at boot
and tell it to boot from the partition of another drive.

Actually I need to copy this on to another server with same folder
structure. I think I need to explain bit of history.
I had a server crash last week, and we have restored the files from
the tape. However during this period of making the server up, the
users having adding or changed files from our backup Server (Samba
server which rsync to production server every night.) now I need to
copy the files which user added/ modify last 7 days. Ideally if I can
get this option in rsync it would be better. Otherwise I need to have
a method so that all changed files to go on the relevant folder on
the production server. I cannot take the full files in the backup
files since they are historical backup and there are some unwanted
files.
Can I use scp instead of cp in your statement?. But how does it take
the same directory name as the original location?
Eg:from ServerA/FLDR2/FLDR3/Filename should go to
ServerB/FLDR2/FLDR3/FILENAME
Only change is the server name all other values will remain same.
Any help would be really appreciated.
One approach would be to use the find command given above to generate a
list of files that have changed. Then pass that list to rsync via the
'--files-from' option to transfer them to the other server.
Oh, you mean this?
I know this has never been brought up before, certainly not in the

[CentOS] Newer GNOME than base release
I have asked about this before, but I don't have a workable answer yet. I would like to know if there is a way to install a more recent GNOME package on CentOS 5.x than 2.16.0. 1) GNOME Bugzilla does not support this version any more - all bugs go into the bit bucket. 2) Having been exposed to Fedora 8 at work and seeing how much more flexible GNOME 2.22 is, I would REALLY like to take a shot at using it on my CentOS systems. 3) I asked about this on the GNOME list and I was told I should build it, and that jhbuild or garnome would do the job for me. This has not been my experience - both of them have major hangups building on my home desktop (the 64-bit hybrid CentOS 5.1 environment). 4) Johnny suggested I try mock to build in a chroot, pure 64-bit environment. I was unable to locate a mock that actually installed and worked on my system. (Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm the only person for whom this does not work. Heard it, can't believe it, must be doing something most others don't, whatever ;*) I have trouble believing that the ONLY ways to get a newer GNOME are to wait for CentOS 6, run a different distro (not likely) or build it myself. This is Linux, after all, isn't it? (That's a rhetorical question - no answer required, unless those /really are/ the only options) TIA. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] [Off Topic, kind of] eMachine model T5254
Hi list, Best Buy currently has an eMachine on sale for less than $300.00 without monitor. I didn't see any recent complaints on www.consumeraffairs.com. I didn't take the time to do a thourgh search so may have missed some. Red Hat hardware list does not have one eMachine listed. I went to eMachine's home page and found the following: AMD Athlon™ BE-2350 dual-core processor NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100 2048MB DDR2 dual-channel 320GB 7200rpm SATA II 16x DVD±R/RW SuperMulti drive High-performance 15-in-1 digital media card reader 6-channel (5.1) high-definition audio They do not list the manufacturer/model of the media card reader and audio.

Re: [CentOS] Apache jserv monitoring?
In our environment we have many legacy application servers running apache/jserv. There is a web server front end, then a couple of load-balanced java servers on the backside. One of the problems we are faced with is hung or stuck jvms. I have looked at the java process with the ps command, and there are many times when URL(s) do not respond, yet the java looks healthy, at least from the OS point of view. The usual cure for this situation is to restart the JVM, then the URLs come right back up. Are any of you aware of tools for monitoring apache jserv, either from localhost or by connecting to port 8008 over the network? I really want to find out if there is a way to detect a sick JVM other than getting a bunch of down URL alerts on my phone. Hello, I don't know jserv or about eventual specific jserv support, but Hyperic might be part of the answer. I know it can provide metrics about Tomcat and JVMs, and application/server specific plugins can be written without too much effort. It's by far the most powerful/complete monitoring solution I've seen, providing support out of the box or with plugins for a bunch of services and applications. Check http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/hypcomm/HyperForge/#HyperFORGE-pluginforge for existing plugins. Perhaps what you want can be done with a JMX plugin ?
