I am now trying to configure a centralized logging server where logs of all the linux servers will be stored and also I want to store all the logs on the local server aka means logs will be sent to the central log server but also will be stored on the local server. The reason for storing the logs locally is because we have offices in different cities and few more offices are coming up and it is good to store the logs locally so that when the connectivity b/w the offices break the logs does not get lost. There are lots of configuration available on internet which tells how to send the logs to the centralized log server but I did not find any configuration where logs can be stored locally as well as send to the centralized log. If you use rsyslog from base repo that is easy to achieve. Rsyslog replaces syslog; thus you can copy your existing syslog.conf into rsyslog.conf and just add an enty for sending everything to the central log host additionally, like e.g. *.* @@your.loghost.tld On the loghost you switch to rsyslog as well and open it up for remote logging in /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog (it is documented there). Be aware to upen up your loghost's local firewall, if you use it. On of the advantages of using rsyslog is that on the central loghost you can stuff everything in a mysql database (again additionally to plain log files) quite easy - that makes automated evaluation of log entries much more convenient. Moreover I am also looking for logs analyzer tool which can generate reports separately for each host for ex there are logs of 15 servers are stored on the server and this logs analyzer tool should generate reports separately for each host. What exactly do yo want the analyzer to do? The simplest thing would be to use logwatch on the servers and customize it, but that depends on what kind of analyzation you have in mind.

[snip] The very same hardware and virtually same X configuration work perfectly ok on FC4 [snip] Ok, just for the record, I resolved the issue, in the following way: - took the exact modeline parameters for 1680x1050 (known to work) from FC4's Xorg.0.log and copy-pasted it into CentOS's xorg.conf - also took the DisplaySize, HorizSync and VertRefresh parameters from the Fedora's log and put it into xorg.conf - Disabled the DDC (undocumented option!!!) - CRUCIAL PART !!! - took the modeline parameters for various other resolutions since without DDC nothing gets autoconfigured - restarted X Now everything works perfectly, and my hacked xorg.conf is just the default one with the following Monitor section: Section Monitor Identifier Monitor0 ModelName LCD Panel 1680x1050 # hacked DisplaySize --- note that the values are *wrong*, # monitor is actually 470x300 mm DisplaySize 370 280 HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0 Option dpms # turned off the DDC; didn't know which option would do # the job so put them both there Option NoDDC true Option DDC false # various modelines, taken from Fedora's log: Modeline 1680x1050 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -hsync +vsync Modeline 1400x1050 122.00 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1052 1064 1082 +hsync +vsync Modeline 800x600 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync Modeline 640x480 25.20 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync EndSection Hopefully someone with a similar problem maybe finds this useful. ;-) Best, :-) Marko ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If your wanting to add a new disk to the same volume group and use it then no you don't need to rename anything, you can use the vgextend command after running pvcreate on the new disk to extend the existing volume group to the new disk. If your wanting to add an existing disk to a system that already has a conflicting volume group name in it, then yes you'll need to vgrename one of them so they do not conflict. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Price is certainly right, but unlikely to hold, as they are charging $200 for their SoundBridge. The netflix box is new hardware - and there doesn't seem to be much reason for promotional pricing. They claim that they will release an SDK soon for anyone who wants to generate their own channel (but not opensource the box itself). But as long as you can send some standard-protocol stream, why worry about matching the hardware? According to their FAQ the only standard-protocol stream it understands is Windows Media formatted files from Netflix content servers, and according to the manual they are using Macrovision DRM software to control access. That kind of approach is not compatible with the project I am working on. We will encode with MP3, Ogg, or FLAC among other possibilities. A sip speakerphone might even work as an endpoint. This is not to play background music at somebody's desk. This application literally puts a company out of business any time it is not working. It has to recover automatically and immediately following the removal of every possible problem that would interrupt the audio stream. It will eventually be equipped with a USB drive full of MP3 material so be a temporary substitute in case the main audio source is lost. Once I go to the work to get it right, I don't have the time to go back and rework it every time a consumer-type platform does a revision. I want something that I can get working and know that six months from now, when I get a request for another system, I can order the hardware, program it up, and send it out the door. Here's an interview with the roku CEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z3zUCiELcI At the moment Firefox doesn't feel like playing any Flash, so I can't see this. The chumby is probably more hackable, but it already plays network streams. Same problems with persistence in the face of obstacles. My guess is that if the stream ends the Chumby is quite content to sit there silently.
