[CentOS] Many missing updates for CentOS 4?
According to centos-announce there's been no updates for CentOS 4 i386/x86_64 since the seamonkey errata (CESA-2009:0325) on 2009-03-06. A quick rundown shows a rather worrying backlog of missing security updates, some more than a month old: 2009:0313 - Moderate: wireshark 2009:0333 - Moderate: libpng/libpng10 2009:0331 - Important: kernel 2009:0344 - Moderate: libsoup 2009:0354 - Moderate: evolution-data-server 2009:0355 - Moderate: evolution and evolution-data-server 2009:0341 - Moderate: curl 2009:0345 - Moderate: ghostscript (superceded by 2009:0420) 2009:0258 - Moderate: thunderbird 2009:0362 - Moderate: NetworkManager 2009:0373 - Moderate: systemtap 2009:0397 - Critical: firefox 2009:0398 - Critical: seamonkey 2009:0337 - Moderate: php 2009:0409 - Important: krb5 2009:0411 - Moderate: device-mapper-multipath 2009:0420 - Moderate: ghostscript Is there any work being done on these? -tgc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Sharing RAM between VM
Thank you, for all your answers! What about the other question? Can clustering help in completing this task? I thought cluster nodes are sharing RAM on default ( obviously I was wrong). >From your answers I'm getting to think that best decision for this task, in my case, is to buy some RAM. I'm not going to make more VMs. Their number will stay constant. nate, which vmware you use? VMware ESXi or VMWare Server or something else? Thanks, again for your help! p.s. Stable xen, has ballooning. You can say for every VM: memory=1024MB, max-mem=2048MB. And you can tweak the memory "manually", without having to restart the VM and without any other problems. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So I have my answer for that. Another cdrecord-related question.

[CentOS] looking for alternative to SME & Clark Connect
Hi all, I'm looking for a (preferably free) alternative to SME / Clark Connect. I basically need the following: - firewall - nat - VPN - bandwidth limiting / monitoring - email (SMTP / POP3 / IMAP) & groupware - file & printer sharing - RAID support - if possible fail-over / high availability support. I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would like to keep the costs low. If it's free, so much better. SME works for most of the stuff, but it still runs on CentOS 4, and I'd prefer to use 5.

Try padding copied image with a few hundred k of nulls. dd if=/dev/zero of=copy.iso \ seek= bs=2048 I've had to do this for my ISO images depending on the age/brand/model of the device. It seems that (at least in the past) there was a disconnect in the kernel handling of the end of file and writing the last blocks read in. This cured it.

Larry wrote: > Thank you, for all your answers! > > What about the other question? Can clustering help in completing this > task? I thought cluster nodes are sharing RAM on default ( obviously I > was wrong). Depends what your goal is, if you want to run a cluster with shared memory between systems, you typically need a very high speed interconnect and very low latencies, your not likely to achieve this within VMs. Your original message just talked about sharing ram between VMs, you didn't mention why you were specifically interested in doing that. > nate, which vmware you use? VMware ESXi or VMWare Server or something > else? Whenever possible I'd use ESXi, I happen to use vmware server on the system that is sending my email because it's old and ESXi doesn't support the 3ware 8006-2 SATA card in it. Check the hardware compatibility list, the list is fairly short for some things like SATA, though ESX 4 is due out in the coming week(s) which is supposed to dramatically improve SATA support. Note that out of the box ESXi(with the free license) doesn't support snapshots or cold migrations(between servers) at least last time I checked the feature comparisons sheet. I'll be installing about 12 new ESXi systems soon. VMware server does not support page sharing or memory ballooning, and does support snapshots. I use vmware server 1.x, probably will go to 2.x in the next couple months. > p.s. Stable xen, has ballooning. You can say for every VM: > memory=1024MB, max-mem=2048MB. And you can tweak the memory "manually", > without having to restart the VM and without any other problems. That's not memory ballooning, at least not in the vmware world, and you can do the same in vmware, though if you decide to drop the amount of physical memory allocated to the guest without having the guest free up that memory you'll go into swap pretty quick, so it's not a practice I do, really ever. If Xen has a specific balloon driver like vmware and inflates the balloon when you change the memory settings that would be pretty cool, as far as I know vmware does not do that, the balloon only kicks in when host memory is low, not when you decide you want to resize the guest. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's not particularly difficult to set these functions up yourself starting with a stock Centos if you intend to maintain them yourself (SME's main attraction is that the configuration interface is easy enough for anyone to use). With other appliance-type distributions you might find it easier to split the firewall and application services onto different boxes. ipcop and ebox look somewhat promising. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] IO accounting
Just a general question to CentOS users, I'm curious if there is a supported or known working kernel newer than 2.6.20 that has IO accounting support. I know I could built it from source but I'd rather use a more tested one from a repo of some variety if possible. I'm referring to this feature. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7c3ab7381e79dfc7db14a67c6f4f3285664e1ec2 In short this appears to have been seeked out by several people just curious if there is anyone out there that uses a nonstandard repo or source out there on their Cent server. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Assumes that the device in question behaves (or can behave) as a raw sequencental block device. Audio CDs are not, strictly speaking, like a partitioned (or partitionable) hard drive. CD-Rom 'tracks' are NOT like disk partitions. ReadCD and Cdda2wav don't just to raw read() calls (which is pretty much all dd does).

I never thought of that given that they come from the plus repo. So its only a matter of time then before it appears for the 5.3 kernels... If I have time this weekend, I'll yank an srpm down from the 5.2 branch kmod and see what's involved in making this (Never done it, so I have no idea off the top of my head).

[CentOS] Sendmail forwarding external email sent to root
Hello: On a CentOS5 machine I set up for a client, in /etc/aliases, I set root's mail to forward to my email address so I can get notices from cron, etc. Unfortunately, I am now getting a lot of spam which is sent to r...@theservername.com How can I tell sendmail to not accept external email to root? I searched the Internet and found some horribly convoluted solutions. There has to be a simple way to do this, like putting a line in sendmail.mc or something. Anyone know a good solution?

I do see that they are an odd mix of older and newer stuff than what is in 5.3. I would try and see if a recompile of the SRPMS on a EL4 system worked. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!

Re: [CentOS] Sendmail forwarding external email sent to root
Three ideas come to mind: 1) announce a different public name than the local machine name. A) EG: machine name:donttellanyone.theservername.com public (DNS) name: www.theservername.com B) Then set up virtusertable entry routing r...@donttellanyone.theservername.come to your email address. C) edit /etc/aliases so that "root: | /dev/null " 2) start using greylisting! Milter-greylist works well w/sendmail for light- medium load machines. =) 3) Turn off inbound email on port 25, if you can.

Re: [CentOS] Sendmail forwarding external email sent to root
Benjamin: Thanks for responding. I guess that facility just does not exist in sendmail. I broke down and wrote a custom jilter (Java based milter) to do it. It is actually working very well and gives me a lot of flexibility. Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox.
