[CentOS-virt] Can I bridge a bonded and vlan tagged interface directly to a guest?
I am running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 as my dom0 and CentOS 5.3 on my domU's. On the dom0, I have two interfaces that are bonded and have tagged VLANs. I can get the networks to the domU's by creating a bridge for each of the VLANS (bond0.3, bond0.4, etc). On the domU, the interfaces show up as eth0, eth1, etc. Is there a way to set up the network on the dom0 so my domU's see a single interface with tagged VLAN support?? Thanks!

Buenas Tardes a todos.
Tengo el siguiente problema:
Tengo un servidor con la ultima version de Centos 5.
Luego instale y configure OpenLdap (openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.
el5).
Luego configure el dominio Samba (Version 3.0.33-3.7.el5) con OpenLdap.
Re: [CentOS-es] problema de validacion con samba como PDC y LDAP
Mira el Log de samba que pasa cuando alguien intenta ingresar
'/var/log/samba'
¿Es posible realizar la prueba conectando un equipo linux?.
Entre el PDC y la red hay algún firewall?.

[CentOS-es] Problema con mtrr Centos 5.3 Kernel i386 2.6.18-128.2.1.PAE
Al final les cuento que hoy me decidi y descargue y compile el kernel 2.6.30.3 de kernel.org. Funciono perfecto y no tuve mayores problemas, salvo unos modules para el kernel de sunray, gracias a dios alguien los habia modificado para el kernel 2.6.29, y con esas modificaciones anduvo todo ok. Ahora el /proc/mtrr reporta los valores esperados y hasta es posible modificarlo normalmente, en el dmesg tira el mensaje de que mi BIOS setea la mascara en el mtrr de forma incorrecta y dice que lo corrige. Realmente no se a quien creerle, si al fabricante o a los desarrolladores del kernel. Igual por suerte pude sortear el obstáculo. Has probado a arrancar con todas las sugerencias de parámetros relativos a acpi, etc? No, no creo que tenga que ver con acpi, el problema es el mtrr Has buscado si hay un reporte de tu problema registrado como bug del kernel (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/)? O en Red Hat (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/)? Busca con algo como mtrr freeze o mencionando el modelo de motherboard. No realmente no tuve mucho tiempo, necesitaba poner el server online lo antes posible Has probado a reemplazar la memoria, intercambiar bancos de lugar, o reducir el tamaño de la memoria, y registrar si hay diferencias en el dmesg de los sucesivos arranques? Eso puede orientarte en la búsqueda del presunto bug. Probe con todas las configuraciones posibles de memoria, y nada, el /proc/mtrr sigue mal Si no lo hay y ninguna de las cosas que pruebes arregla tu problema, deberías pensar en registrar un bug. Puede que el lunes lo reporte, pero me parece que es un problema ya conocido. Has probado el kernel de centosplus? Si tambien probe por las dudas Saludos -- Carlos Germán Tejero ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

I do understand that ds uses LDIF files to store and set things up, but seem unable to grasp the arcane entries that need to exist so I can access it with a basic LDAP client to load my users etc. Also I guess there are certain schemas that need to be used to allow basic functions to work. My wish list: linux user authentication and authorization windows user authentication and authorization (via samba?) customer contact list (name, address, company, phone numbers, email addresses) - this last one to be used by Thunderbird and my SIP phone system - both of which profess to speak LDAP I'm sure there are many small business folk that would like something like this, however I cannot find a template with all my searches, so for those of you with better LDAP and or google skills - please point me in the right direction. I'm going through the same process as Rob ( the OP ) at the moment. I want to setup centos-directory server. initially I want it to replace a NIS and Samba system with about 1200 existing users. There's a pretty straightforward guide at HowToForge.com (search for CentOS LDAP). It's a little dated, but works as advertised. In a nutshell the installation requires installing the centos-ds packages (about 4), installing a Sun Java, and then populating the database. The client side is even simpler. Installing centos-ds is not a problem. It's what you do after it. Especially for people like me who have no experience with OpenLDAP. Linux and Windows user authentication is straightforward, with GUI based setup and editing. With 1200 existing users to be migrated then GUI based setup and editing is not very useful. The default schema I use doesn't include address, company, etc., but these are very easily added. I tested with kaddressbook and a couple other LDAP browsers without any glitches. I'm going through the Howto:Samba from directory.fedoraproject.org at the moment and hopefully that will get me started. But what would be nice is: 1. Howto:migtate existing NIS to CentosDS 2.

The CentOS Live CD are not 'install' CDs -- they don't include the installer or the RPMs. You should download the CentOS install DVD and burn that. And to answer the 'how-to' bit - you can burn the cd in Windows or Linux. Normally any burning program will have an option to 'burn an image', or similar. It's not usually as obvious as a plain burn, but tucked away in a menu. Now you know what you are looking for you should find it easily enough. One thing. Most burning applications give you the option to verify after the burn. What this means is that it calculates a checksum of the original file, then compares with the checksum of the burned file. It's a good idea to get into the habit of always setting the verify when it is available to you. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

If you run a private organization, must you tell me how you spend your money? You get an OS and can chose to donate monies or not. We're not under any obligation to tell people how the money gets spent, but doing so certainly goes a long way building good will. In my opinion, a simple 'We got X monies in donations which were used to purchase dedicated hosting, bandwidth, and various novelties for booth and show kit' once in a while would do worlds of good for showing people how we use the money they choose to give us. I don't have any legal obligation to help old ladies cross the street, or rescue cats from trees. It's what you do because you're a good person. Doing this in a community sense is what makes you a good neighbor, and what helps build community reputation. I have to agree with Jim here. It is not legal obligation or anything. IF I am running a project and ask the community for help and I receive donations (monetary or in the form of thousands of donated hours), I would feel obliged to return back to the community. And in doing so, I would want to disclose everything. Once again, this is not due to any legal requirements but because I would feel the project is no longer my private toy and I owe the community. We are hiding nothing ... why exactly does CentOS need to provide that information to you? Thinking that this is entirely an internal manner is a bit short-sighted. Keeping all the problems internal doesn't solve them. Not to speak for Dag, but judging by his blog reaction to the news, the finance issue and lack of openness is part of what drove his departure. If we move to adopt a slightly more open approach and include more community efforts, I believe that we'll see a great deal of good from it. It's not that we OWE the community anything. It's that we should do it because it's how we want to be treated, and how we SHOULD deal with them while we participate in the project. I mostly agree with Jim. As I wrote above, if this was my project, I would feel I *owe* the community. But that is strictly my personal feelings. I cannot imagine how I can ever pay back if those who donated their time ask for refund. :) Actually, I agree with Jim too :) We will likely do all or most of these things because we want to do so, but not because we have too. My point was that we wanted to give someone the benefit of the doubt because we were trying to do right by him too ... now we (as a group) think we need to do something differently, and we will. Regardless of what else we do, we still have to acknowledge that without Lance, there would have been no CentOS at all ... and because of that we probably waited to long to push this issue. However, we did it because of good intentions and hopes of someone doing the right thing, not to hide anything. totally agree and just want to add one more thing...I am very happy to see Johnny posting to this list.

I do understand that ds uses LDIF files to store and set things up, but seem unable to grasp the arcane entries that need to exist so I can access it with a basic LDAP client to load my users etc. Also I guess there are certain schemas that need to be used to allow basic functions to work. My wish list: linux user authentication and authorization windows user authentication and authorization (via samba?) customer contact list (name, address, company, phone numbers, email addresses) - this last one to be used by Thunderbird and my SIP phone system - both of which profess to speak LDAP I'm sure there are many small business folk that would like something like this, however I cannot find a template with all my searches, so for those of you with better LDAP and or google skills - please point me in the right direction. I'm going through the same process as Rob ( the OP ) at the moment. I want to setup centos-directory server. initially I want it to replace a NIS and Samba system with about 1200 existing users. There's a pretty straightforward guide at HowToForge.com (search for CentOS LDAP). It's a little dated, but works as advertised. In a nutshell the installation requires installing the centos-ds packages (about 4), installing a Sun Java, and then populating the database. The client side is even simpler. Installing centos-ds is not a problem. It's what you do after it. Especially for people like me who have no experience with OpenLDAP. Linux and Windows user authentication is straightforward, with GUI based setup and editing. With 1200 existing users to be migrated then GUI based setup and editing is not very useful. The default schema I use doesn't include address, company, etc., but these are very easily added. I tested with kaddressbook and a couple other LDAP browsers without any glitches. I'm going through the Howto:Samba from directory.fedoraproject.org at the moment and hopefully that will get me started. But what would be nice is: 1. Howto:migtate existing NIS to CentosDS 2. Howto:migrate existing Samba to CentosDS seriously...I don't think you are ever going to find such a beast. There are some really good tools from padl to migrate nis to ldap (on Redhat/CentOS installed as part of openldap-servers package). This may require some amount of script-fu (perl, sed, awk, etc.) but not too much. Then to add the samba attributes/passwords/machine accounts will require a larger dose of script-fu. But this all would be virtually impossible without a decent knowledge of how LDAP works and that is regardless of whether you use CentOS-DS or OpenLDAP.

Then there would be a way that anyone could 'publish' their installed list of repositories and packages and anyone else could duplicate that machine's setup just by picking that list from a set of choices with the installer dealing with the hardware differences for you. This would eliminate most of the need for custom rebuilds and respins - at least for anyone with network access, and in my opinion the optimal combination of many thousands of packages is something that deserves to be be crowdsourced. But, so far no one has done it and whenever the discussion of modified CentOS respins comes up the developers have seemed pretty lukewarm to the idea, as though it would devalue their brand. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] LDAP howto using ds-base and ds-admin and related consoles

Especially for people like me who have no experience with OpenLDAP. Linux and Windows user authentication is straightforward, with GUI based setup and editing. With 1200 existing users to be migrated then GUI based setup and editing is not very useful. I had to move about 200 Unix users from OpenLDAP to RHDS. For a brief moment I considered just manually doing it, but reason got the better of me. The approach I took: 1) Exported the database from OpenLDAP. Actually, just used an ldapsearch and pulled over all the users and groups and dropped it into and LDIF. 2) Created a few test users on Fedora DS then ran a similar export process. This gave me an LDIF that I could compare. 3) Next was a matter of writing a bunch of awk scripts to convert the OpenLDAP to Fedora LDIF format. The biggest problem I had was the password format. I don't recall much of the details exactly, but there were some issues with the crypt method. In the end I wrote another script that wrapped mkpasswd and then just did an update. It emailed the users with the new password. For those without an email address (maybe 30 or so), it set a default password based on the username. The default schema I use doesn't include address, company, etc., but these are very easily added. I tested with kaddressbook and a couple other LDAP browsers without any glitches. I'm going through the Howto:Samba from directory.fedoraproject.org at the moment and hopefully that will get me started. But what would be nice is: 1. Howto:migtate existing NIS to CentosDS 2. Howto:migrate existing Samba to CentosDS For the LDAP information itself, you could probably do a similar thing. E.g., parse the relevant passwd, group, shadow and login files then create an LDIF to import. OpenLDAP has a bunch of scripts to migrate from NIS/local files also, so they would be my first step. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Apache not liking directories outside of /var/www
Hi all, It appears that on my nice little CentOS 5.3 machines Apache only allows me to store content in directories which are under /var/www/ For instance, putting content in /var/www/test and defining the following alias: Alias /test /var/www/test then accessing it under http://hostname/test works great. Not copy that same content to /home/test, change the alias to: Alias /test /home/test and you get Error 403. Any idea why that would be?

The exploit in the linked article is stopped because it can't run the escalation program which was downloaded to /tmp. I believe in security too but security should not be crippling. Do you also disable iptables, because a firewall is too complicated to configure just to run an IP service? SELinux is just another kind of firewall, but one between user/process/resource triplets.

We're not under any obligation to tell people how the money gets spent, but doing so certainly goes a long way building good will. In my opinion, a simple 'We got X monies in donations which were used to purchase dedicated hosting, bandwidth, and various novelties for booth and show kit' once in a while would do worlds of good for showing people how we use the money they choose to give us. I don't have any legal obligation to help old ladies cross the street, or rescue cats from trees. It's what you do because you're a good person. Doing this in a community sense is what makes you a good neighbor, and what helps build community reputation. I have to agree with Jim here. It is not legal obligation or anything.

We are hiding nothing ... why exactly does CentOS need to provide that information to you? Thinking that this is entirely an internal manner is a bit short-sighted. Keeping all the problems internal doesn't solve them. Not to speak for Dag, but judging by his blog reaction to the news, the finance issue and lack of openness is part of what drove his departure. If we move to adopt a slightly more open approach and include more community efforts, I believe that we'll see a great deal of good from it. It's not that we OWE the community anything. It's that we should do it because it's how we want to be treated, and how we SHOULD deal with them while we participate in the project. I mostly agree with Jim. As I wrote above, if this was my project, I would feel I *owe* the community. But that is strictly my personal feelings. I cannot imagine how I can ever pay back if those who donated their time ask for refund. :) Actually, I agree with Jim too :) We will likely do all or most of these things because we want to do so, but not because we have too. My point was that we wanted to give someone the benefit of the doubt because we were trying to do right by him too ... now we (as a group) think we need to do something differently, and we will.

Sure - anything that gets you to the point of being able to run yum with disk and network access. But there is a little more to what I want than a yum groupinstall can currently handle. I'd like anyone with a configuration that they think is worth duplicating/sharing to be able to upload both their repository configuration and their installed package list to either a public or local server where that configuration would be saved with a unique ID, description, and author listing (and perhaps allow for user rating/comments). Then anyone else should be able to give some command to update to match any of the ID's they want. There are probably some hardware-related packages that would need special consideration in this scheme, but the worst part is that different repositories exist with different but same-named packages and yum can't even keep this straight when updating the original machine much less reproduce it on another one.

To me, as user, seems that you will your brand more appealing. The discussion was not about the scheme I'm describing, but generally in the context of either making a distro that wouldn't be called CentOS or one that had the Centos branding but modified content. If I recall correctly, the former was grudgingly permitted but no help or advice offered, and latter was not permitted or at least highly discouraged unless it was a strict superset of the stock distro so problems related to the modifications don't affect CentOS's reputation. Personally I've always preferred to install from the k12ltsp respin which is a fairly strict superset with a lot of useful additions. However, it's not clear where that project is headed with the incorporation of part of its content into fedora packaging (but probably not others like the push-button commands to get flash, Sun java, realplayer, MS fonts,etc.). Besides, it seems, from the comment about the Fedora 10 tools, that the customization could be easier in RHEL 6. Yes, that will be a possibility, but building a million iso images that are out of date the next day and still won't have the exact setup you want just seems like the wrong approach. What we need is one thing that handles hardware differences (and might also fix things up if you move a disk from one machine to another or restore a backup on a new machine) and another thing that can save and re-install lists of packages repeatably even if the repositories won't cooperate with their package names.

During that process I saw: --- Installing : kernel-PAE[157/322] WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5PAE, continuing anyway Installing : kernel[158/322] WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5, continuing anyway --- Since I'm running with SCSI drives on that box and lsmod shows me this: --- # ./lsmod | grep mpt mptctl 31301 1 mptsas 37193 0 scsi_transport_sas 30529 1 mptsas mptspi 23625 0 scsi_transport_spi 26305 1 mptspi mptfc 21829 0 mptscsih 36929 3 mptsas,mptspi,mptfc scsi_transport_fc 37449 1 mptfc mptbase76901 5 mptctl,mptsas,mptspi,mptfc,mptscsih scsi_mod 141589 17 mptctl,ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi,scsi_transport_iscsi,scsi_dh,st,sg,mptsas,scsi_transport_sas,mptspi,scsi_transport_spi,mptfc,mptscsih,scsi_transport_fc,cciss,sd_mod --- I'm a bit worried about rebooting the system. Should I be? Did some other driver take over the responsibilities of the mptscsi driver? Second issue: I also had to remove some repositories from yum, do a yum clean all, and still manually remove a few more packages before yup update would work. There are still quite a few el4 packages left on the system even now. History: # history 1006 yum update;date 1007 yum clean all 1008 yum update;date 1009 yum remove freetype-utils cyrus-imapd-murder cyrus-imapd-nntp 1010 yum update;date 1011 yum remove seamonkey 1012 yum update;date 1013 rpm -qa | grep -i el4 Some of the el4 packages that are left are probably one's that I installed by hand outside the yum repository scheme, but certainly not all of them are. I expected the upgrade off DVD and then the yum update to take care of most of those. -- Curt Mills, WE7Uhacker at fluke dot com Senior Methods Engineer/SysAdmin Lotto:A tax on people who are bad at math!

Okay, I'm a mere CentOS desktop user (at this point) but I'm curious as to how *you've* been bitten here? While it's true that your donation money apparently did not go to the project as intended, it's also true that you've still received a solid and continuously updated OS (as paid for). So, even though it is regretful that the ability of the CentOS project to promote its distribution has been hampered -- I can't see where you've, personally, suffered any damage. It seems to me the ones bitten here, are those who have donated so much of their own time developing and maintaining CentOS. But despite the handicap this situation has imposed on them, they are still providing a great distribution. I do agree that, going forward, everything will become more transparent -- but I think that's the general goal and the reason for the open letter in the first place. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

No doubt. And if the people who mange the CentOS servers in their organization are doing their job, the people who pay the cheques are being made aware of the situation, what the organization's options are, and what costs are associated with each option. Among those options, and this is our organization's fall back, is to pay for a subscription to access the upstream vendor's support system for package updates. -- Drew Nothing in life is to be feared.

[CentOS] things weirdly different in new installation
I've just built a new system and installed latest Centos 5.3 on it. My old box also has an up to date Centos 5 on it. Some things are just plain different between the two installations, and it's stumping me why that would be. Example: on the old box, the shutdown dialog offers restart, cancel, shutdown, and also standby and hibernate. and the standby and hibernate options work, too. The new box, it only offers restart, cancel, or shutdown. Oddly, the main System dropdown offers suspend as well as logoff and shutdown submenus. Since it's a desktop, I won't often want to suspend or hibernate, but it may occasionally be nice to have the option to hibernate (e.g., power is off, UPS is about dead, hibernate could save my work.)
