Did the same thing for my mother a few years ago. She had WinXP running in Workgroup mode. Somehow she'd managed to aquire a rootkit on her computer. After a few hours trying to get rid of it, I gave up, took her computer home to my place and installed Fedora Core 5. She's now at CentOS 5.3 and happily surfing along. She's most happy with Evolution, it works very well with for her. Rather than do auto updates (sometimes there are conflicts or other issues needing *intellegent* intervention -- the recent update from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 required that glibc be updated before the rest of the updates for example), maybe you should schedule a regular visit to this fellow. I second that. That's how I solved updates for the beloved mother, by enabling yum-updatesd. Yum-cron and yum-updateobboot are both disabled, but may be useful for simple systems. Minor version updates I do manually for her, and since I visit her every once in a while I also check up her computer.

Possibly the best way is for the updates to be setup to run automatically and in the rare (but possible) event that something goes awry, then the user call for on site help, to straighten it out. The majority of the updates work properly, without any intervention, but once in awhile Or uif the router supports that function, set up a port forwarding rule to allow ssh connections from a particular ip (yours), which you can use to remote update the machine. That's what I used for my mother for years, never had any problems, that is until her D-link router gave up, and I bought her a new low budget router that turned out not to support port forwarding... Of course, should stuff go totally pear-shaped while updating remotely, you're pretty much SOL anyway, and a personal visit in person is needed.

You can add some local users that will not belong to LDAP groups to the ignore list, that will probably fix most of your problems during bootup before the network is up: nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus In the past I have had problems with OpenLDAP not being able to get new connections because of the open file descriptors limit (of 1024) being reached, so it was not able to create new sockets. IIRC, the message on the logs was clear in that sense, saying the limit had been reached. To increase the number of file descriptors I added this line to /etc/sysconfig/ldap: ulimit -n 8192 If you are reaching the file descriptor limit, it may also mean that you do not have enough threads to work on the requests. You may increase that number. I have in my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: threads 64 When I start it up, it gives me a warning that this is larger than 32 which they think should be enough for anyone, but I guess that number is pretty outdated considering today's hardware. Anyway, I'd rather have too many and have a small overhead for the task switching than having too few and not being able to cope with a burst. Meanwhile I'm also getting some authentication problems with IMAP server (dovecot)... the only service that I didn't find any failure was with SSH, but it's only used occasionally. Since I introduced the changes above my problems with OpenLDAP stopped completely. I even implemented LDAP over SSL for all connections (including user/group lookup) after that and had no noticeable performance issues due to the overhead.

[CentOS] Video on (video-capable digital) still camera not accessible
I'm looking for any intelligent commentary on this - it may be a little off topic, but I'm wondering if anyone knows about this. This isn't short, so bear with me. Yesterday, I tried to download a video off of one of my digital still cameras that also takes videos (Canon Powershot SX10 iS) on my CentOS x86_64 5.3 system. When I plugged the camera into a USB port and turned it on, it showed no images available, AND no device showed up mounted for it. Now, this is not entirely unusual. I know there's a .mov on the camera, two actually, so I tried putting the SD card in a card reader and plugged that in. Nothing. No disk was mounted, which is what normally happens when I do that. I ran lsusb, and got this: [...@mhrichter ~]$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 072: ID 0aec:3260 Neodio Technologies Corp. 7-in-1 Card Reader Bus 001 Device 001: ID : Bus 002 Device 009: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c Bus 002 Device 001: ID : Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd That looks normal, but no device is mounted. I tried doing a gnome-mount on /dev/sdd and /dev/sde and both came up with a no data error. I tried mounting /dev/sdd (which is where the device should be) as a vfat, and that hung. I got a similar response when I plugged in the camera with the SD card in it and it shows up in lsusb: [...@mhrichter ~]$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 073: ID 04a9:318d Canon, Inc. Bus 001 Device 001: ID : Bus 002 Device 009: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c Bus 002 Device 001: ID : Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd I even took a photo, just so there would be a recognizable image on the camera for the Image Importer, and that worked, but the two .mov files were still not showing up anywhere. Then I figured, well, maybe if CentOS doesn't like this, my Windows XP guest might be able to do something with it. (Hahahahaha! Not funny) I brought up the Win guest, attached the USB drive for the camera and Windows installed the device just fine. I opened an Explorer window and the camera was there, with the photo and two .mov files in its folder, so I went in and clicked the photo and that was it. The Windows guest crashed, and when it came back up, it booted so slowly I wasn't sure it was going to boot at all, and the network connections were gone. I tried a number of things (restart Samba, reboot Windows in safe mode, then back to normal, restart Samba with Windows running, on and on). Nothing worked. All the TCP/IP settings were the same, and the network card showed one connection that was active, but no IP address, no path to host, pings all failed, etc. This morning, I figured that, since the guest network seemed to have been blown away completely, I'd reconfigure it and try again. Voila! All my drives are now sharing properly and the NAT network between host and guest works just fine. I am wondering if anyone could hazard a guess w.r.t. these issues: 1) CentOS not seeing either device (camera or SD-in-reader) as mountable 2) How to mount the SD card manually given that it does not appear to be a vfat (which is how most of these have shown up before IIRC). 3) VMWare losing its network configuration (or whatever it lost) that smashed its network connection to the host 4) (most important) Any ideas on how to get at the video files on the SD card (if I can mount it as the right kind of fs, that would be enough) Thanks. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Are you sure that all the disks are in the same position that they were in when removed from the snap server? The drives are the same position , i.e hda is hda and hdb is hdb etc, but hdc and hdd were hde and hdg previously. Does that matter?

The drives are the same position , i.e hda is hda and hdb is hdb etc, but hdc and hdd were hde and hdg previously. Does that matter? If you fail with the original drives, you might render the array unrecoverable. dd is a good idea. I'll dd these disks and try with the images.

[CentOS] Cron for spamassassin
Hi all, Question: Do you run the cron.d for updating spamassassin that came with the distro (centos 5.x)? I tried doing it when it was first set up and it just kept failing. Although set to run, neither sa-update logs nor cron logs show any activity at all on this cron. And thus I usually do it by hand, running sa-update -D on the command line every week or so. The cron.d/sa-update file is chmod 0600 and owned by root. The contents are as was installed 10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 21 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log When running the cron manually from the command line, it says: /etc/cron.d/sa-update: line 9: 10: command not found - And the cron log will say --- May 18 18:56:01 mail crond[3919]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE (/etc/cron.d/sa-update) --- All research online and in bugs only refer to an old syntax error that is no longer in the code. I did find quite a few posts from people all over the web that this was not working for them. Not one was fixed or resoved. I tired making the cron 0755 but that did not change anything. I could find no bug reports on this on either rhel or centos. So, I was just thinking about making a crontab to run sa-update daily and see if that works. I would like to use as intended though. Has anyone experienced this problem, and has anyone figured out what is wrong? Thanks in advance. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes I agree, it seems that CentOS has been resource constrained for some time now, I'm not certain what the constraint is but myself I try not to complain since it is a volunteer effort. I've gotten the impression that there seems to be only a few(perhaps 4 or less) people working on the actual packaging stuff, and they probably don't get paid to make it a full time job, I'm sure it's not easy work. It'd be nice of some of the bigger companies that benefit from CentOS would contribute more, as of a few years ago at least F5 Networks used CentOS code on their load balancers[CentOS 3.x, very stripped down](prices ranging from $15k-500k), I don't think they have switched distributions since. The NAS cluster we have here comes from a company called Exanet(list price over $100k), and it runs on CentOS 4.4. I'm sure there are several others.. Hopefully they can get the support they need to beef up things like security updates and stuff, it seems things have been going downhill for a while now. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

How exactly can I contribute, aside from answering occasional question on the mailing list? Current requirements are actually quite developer heavy - howse your python foo ? Atleast a couple of things in the wiki need attention. Then there is the website Ver2 project that could use more people getting involved with. The newer, better mirror service management system is going to need attention and development. I've been working on a rspec oriented test harness for rpms, sort of like a unit tester but something that is environment aware . there are plenty of things going on that could use people :) The centos-devel list, as always, is a good place to keep your eyes on, there must have been atleast a dozen various things that are open to contributions and help that have gone through there in the last few months. btw, there is a wiki page that has a better list, and a more structured setup. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522...@icq ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Sorry, I have only basic knowledge of Python, so I am not your man for that. snip The centos-devel list, as always, is a good place to keep your eyes on, there must have been atleast a dozen various things that are open to contributions and help that have gone through there in the last few months.

[CentOS] Send syslog to a remote server
Hi, I am running CentOS 5 and I tried to config flowing statement in syslog.conf to send syslog messages to a remote server running on FC 9, but it did not work. There was nothing send to the FC9. *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none@@192.168.1.5 Could anyone advice whether the syslog in CentOS 5 does not support remote server, or I could be missing something? System: DISTRO_NAME=centos DISTRO_VERSION=5 DISTRO_CODENAME=final DISTRO_PATCHLEVEL=5 DISTRO_ARCH=x86_64 DISTRO_KERNEL=2.6.18_53.el5 Thank you.

Try just one @ instead of two? Also is the FC9 system configured to receive messages? You can use the 'logger' command to send custom messages with user defined priority/facility for testing purposes as well. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Send syslog to a remote server
Hi, 1 .One is enough and the remoter server should be configured to accept the syslog. 2. double quotes are not required.
