I'm not sure how to pick out what isn't included in stock centos.  The 
easiest way is probably to install one but you might wade through 
http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12LTSP/5.0.0-EL-32bit/i386/repodata/comps.xml 
to look at the packages in the education* and ltsp groups.  There are 
also some scripts to make everything come up working and push-button 
scripted installs for an assortment of extra software that is not 
included (web fonts, flash, sun java, realplayer, etc.).

Be sure to download the 'el5' version.  The others are based on 
now-obsolete fedora versions.

No intention (or desire) to hijack your thread, but, based on our
experience last week, with our ADSL being down, for most of 3 days, I
hope you will look at the idea of switching away from ADSL, if HSDPA
is available to your location. Or, having HSDPA as an alternate
access. Not being dependent on cables, etc., has a lot of strong
points. If it goes down, it is either at your location, a nearby
repeater, or their base. Very easy to troubleshoot!

XEN will never make into the kernel. Period. I never paid any attention 
to Xen but I had to lately for get Windows virtualized for new Centos

The XEN kernel. Then the Linux guest in dom-0.

I was dismayed. Why was Linux running on top of XEN?

Now, I know why. I found this:

http://blog.codemonkey.ws/2008/05/truth-about-kvm-and-xen.html

XEN is not a Linux solution. For this reason, I am glad that Redhat

virtualization on Linux rather than depending on a third-party for 
virtualization. Good riddance XEN.

No more worries about getting XEN compatible drivers for accelerated

Actually I have a little more information, but I'm having a hard time
putting the pieces together.  It looks like when you turn attribute caching
off, the first problem goes completely away, at the expense of slowing
things way down.  The attribute caching appears to be blocking for some
reason - if you set the timeout to 1, the ls will finish after 1 second.

No, actually he CANNOT subnet it.

First the network segment wasn't assigned to him at all, he is 1 node
in the ISP's network segment.

Second the ISP's default gateway is 65.188.0.1 and he can get any IP
in that segment, which means if he tries for force segmentation on it
he will most likely end up making his default route unreachable.

It is probably the result of a broadcast storm or some type of icmp
flood attack on the segment.

Shorten the lifetime of the ARPs in the table for that interface
and/or disable ARPs on that interface and set manual ARP entries for
the routers.

Alas, it didn't really tell me more than what I could see in the log lines.

What helped was to download the source RPM for the policy:

selinux-policy-2.4.6-137.el5.src.rpm

This is like a kernel source package, and has all the text files that are 
compiled to become the installed binary policy. Hence, it's very handy for 
grepping through to understand how all the rules work. It also identified 
that there's a man page full of handy sebools for more fine-grained control 
of the web server policy. Use "man httpd_selinux" to view it.


Looking more carefully at my log lines, I realized that the "/" being 
referred to was not the "real" root but the root of the mounted device, and 
it had type file_t. That's not a directory type that Apache is allowed to 
search. For now, I've changed it to var_t, which is one that's allowed, and 
things now work.

now, why is ARP table is overflowing is another issue entirely.

Thomas, can you try this? Do

arp -an | grep 65.188.0.1

and pick out the "MAC" address of your gateway router, this will look 
something like...

? (65.188.0.1) at 00:17:CB:4F:97:81 [ether] on eth1

So, the MAC address above is 00:17:CB:4F:97:81 ... yours definitely will 
be different now,

# tcpdump -i eth1 -n ip host 65.188.xxx.xxx and not ether host 
00:17:CB:4F:97:81

(replacing that with your gateway router's MAC address as determined 
from that ARP command, and xxx.xxx with your eth1 IP address as shown in 
`ifconfig eth1`)

this will catch all traffic between you and another IP on your ISP local 
segment thats NOT talking to the gateway router

paste 50 lines or so of the output of this here and maybe we can figure

I can try it.  But there's a reason that we're using 32768, apparently the
Acopias don't like 8192.

I'd say you want to set prompt 0 if you don't want a prompt. A short

Thank you. I will check it out. The USB modem the cell phone company

Ethernet Modem (if I can get one) will easily work with our IPCop

We're using nfs3 over tcp.   rsize and wsize are 32768.  Async is default,
though I've tried sync.

Funny thing is, turning on nfs debug and trying to trigger this problem
seems to cause data corruption.  Once it even managed to corrupt the local

Your nfs settings could be helpful. I am using nfs4 with no such
problems.

Example settings from my /etc/exports:
/exports/   192.168.0.0/2
(ro,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)

Example settings from my /etc/auto.* (automount):
*   -fstype=nfs4,rw,tcp,port=2049,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid   
://&

Maybe the options *async* and the settings for rsize and wsize could be
helpful for you?

You can use chmod +X, it will work if your files are already not
executable. +X will keep the executable bit for the ones that already
executable (directories) but not set it for who doesn't have it.

You can use something like: chmod -R a+rX,u+w,go-w .

Of course, if your files have the executable bit set and you want to
remove it, it won't work for you, in that case you should use the find
| xargs chmod solution that was posted already.

[CentOS] Two NFS issues

[Russell Miller]

Hi, I was hoping someone would have an idea of what's going on here...

We have two NFS issues.  One of which is certainly centos based, one of
which we're not sure of.

First issue is:  As of Centos 5, we can't make simultaneous access to a
directory via NFS.  To duplicate, I cd into a share in two windows, copy a
1G file in the first window, and just do an ls in the other.  The ls will
hang until the write is done.

Turning off apic seems to help a little, but there's still a very
significant hang.

This problem is not apparent in centos 4.x, even when mounting to the same
NFS server.

The other problem is - we're seeing tremendous slowdowns when going through
an Acopia NFS virtualization server.  These slowdowns got much more severe
when we moved to Centos 5.2.  If we connect to the NFS appliance directly,
these slowdowns don't exist.

Has anyone seen problems like this?  How did you solve them?

Thanks.

[CentOS] following Centos wiki headless install, but applying to FC10

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have successfully built an install CD following the instructions at:

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VncHeadlessInstall

Now I am trying to do the same with FC10 and I am failing in two ways.  
I have tried to find a similar howto for even FC9, but have not found 
the right google magic.


The first problem should be small.  When I set isolinux.cfg to start with:

prompt 1
timeout 0

I still get prompted.  There is quite a bit more to the beginning of the 
FC10's isolinux.cfg so that might account for it.  But fortunately I do 
have a keyboard of sorts and a monitor of sorts so I can get to my menu 
select for remote vnc install.  The install then proceeds and gets to 
setting up eth0, but fails.  It seems like dhcp is not succeeding.  If I 
boot from the standard FC10 CD, hdcp does work.  Here is my append line:


append initrd=initrd.img vnc vncconnect=10.8.6.15 headless ip=dhcp 
ksdevice=eth0 meth

od=http://server.foo.com/fedora/10/os/i386 lang=en_US keymap=us

All these commands are listed at:

http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25826

Use SNMP, that's what it's there for. All good routers/switches
expose SNMP counters for interface errors which you can collect
either by hand with snmpget or something, or use something like
MRTG, Cacti, Nagios or any number of other tools that are

[CentOS] Sound problem in Dell inspiron 1525

After installing CentOS 5.2 on my Dell inspiron 1525 laptop, the sound was
inactive, I then installed Alsa-Driver, Alsa-utils, Alsa-plugins and
Alsa-libs the ATrpms site. The speakers then work fine, but when I plug in
headphones, the sound begins to fade out and eventually becomes completely
quiet. I have checked the Volume Manager and nothing is muted including the
Headphones volume, when I unplug the headphones the speakers are also quiet.
The sound card is a HDA-INTEL. Any suggestions and solutions?

rpm -i *.rpm would work if those are the only rpm packages there.

Try this:

The output should explain why you are getting the permission denials.

[CentOS] question on yum-downloadonly

[Jerry Geis]

Hi

I found yum-downloadonly and executed my command do that and save the
dependencies in my current directory.

Now when I execute my command:
rpm -i mypackage

all the dependencies are not found even though they are in the current 
directory.


if I do a "yum install mypackage" (and its in the current directory) its 
not found either.


How do I now install the mypackage in the current directory and look for 
all dependencies in the current directory?


Thanks,

Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Apache, SELinux, and document root on a different partition

[Kenneth Porter]

Here's what I'm seeing logged. (Newlines added to make it easier to see the 
log line boundaries with wrapping.) It looks like it's failing to traverse 
the root directory to get to the directory with the content in it, but why 
doesn't it fail on /var/www/html or home directory content, which must also 
do that?

[CentOS] auditd not logging to file

[Kenneth Porter]

I'm finding that auditd will in fact log to the console if I run it with -f 
(don't fork). But it's not writing the entries to /var/log/audit/audit.log. 
I think I have enough disk space. The default config suspends auditing when 
free space falls below 50 and 75 megabytes, and df shows over 6 GB 
available.

I don't find anything in /var/log/audit/audit.log nor /var/log/messages. 
audit.log looks like the right place but it's not logged anything since 
June. Do I need to enable this? (I suspect another admin turned it off 
inadvertantly.) The auditd service is running.

OK, I'm gonna test it with use_carrier. I have been playing with
arp_ip_target and miimon without luck.

>From documentation: 'It is critical that either the miimon or
arp_interval and arp_ip_target parameters be specified, otherwise
serious network degradation will occur during link failures.  Very few
devices do not support at least miimon, so there is really no reason not
to use it.'

And as to MII, ethertool on all netcard but old 3com shows no support
for MII. And as to bonging I want to get 802.3ad working.
Thanks,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello,

there will be a downtime of the mail and list server tomorrow evening from
around 20:00 UTC and a few (hopefully) hours after that. This means that there
will be no mail traffic at that time to and from centos.org domains.

We need to move away mail from the current machine to a new machine, as our
old mailserver is a bit unreliable at the moment (the hardware is showing
its age).

After the move everything will work exactly as before, only faster, bigger
and better. 

Thanks for your understanding,

Ralph

Hi,

I have seen this kind of problem (STARTTLS not available for a single
client but working for everyone else) when the client is behind a
CISCO firewall with the FIXUP SMTP configuration option enabled.
Disable it using "no fixup protocol smtp 25" on the firewall and try
again.

Radu

That is strange. But you shouldn't be needing mii, use_carrier should be
working with modern cards - if they come up at once.

I have bonding on 2 Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T where the
card takes so long to come up that the bonding driver assumes the wrong
link mode (100baseT instead of 1000baseT).

But those cards do work with miimon (which uses miitool and/or ethtool).

Cheers,

Ralph

[CentOS] Bonding and network cards

[David Hrbáč]

Hi,
I have been playing this weekend with bonding on PCI netcards and found
that all of netcards I have, but old 3com, do not support MII. So
bonding is not going to happen with them. Do you have some pci netcards
supporting MII successfully running on bonging?
Thanks,

Quite a few people appear to be quite insecure on the basis of 
what they think is/is not going to happen. The bottom line is 
crystal-ball gazing should be left alone and people should work 
with what's available in CentOS.

Of course, it's the current state of affairs as we think we know it.
