 Will be glad to add your example, but I don't quite understand 
 root=LABEL=/ - looks like that would point to the hard disks root 
 filesystem rather than the installer.


   
My example is adequate (and used) for remote upgrades (hence the 
upgradeany from the kernel line) rather than fresh installs.

I don't doubt that it works, but still wonder if the root= is a NOP.

I suggest adding links to some supporting documentation.  For example,
you could add a prerequisites section saying this technique or trick
requires the install media available, either on the network or on the
local disk.  Instructions for setting up the install media on the
network can be found in the Installation guide, chapter 2.5 Preparing
for a Network Installation
http://centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-steps-network-installs-x86.html
Instructions for putting the install media on the local disk can be
found in the Installation guide, chapter 2.6 Preparing for a hard drive
Installation
http://centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/ch02s06.html

It looks like the version 5.2 docs are the most recent on the centos.org
site.

Well, it is a subnet, it has just only got one host in it. I wrote it
because the question is about routing, so it's quite relevant that the
IP-addresses are not on the same subnet.

No one with any clues on what to test / look into? :-/

[CentOS-virt] 4 CPU with WinXP on Centos 5.5 KVM?

2010-05-27 Thread Marcelino Mata
Has anyone had any success getting WinXP 32bit to use 4 CPU's under
Centos 5.5 KVM?
 
I have tried everything and the best I can get is 2 CPU's.  I tried
everything listed here
http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/running-windows-smp-guests  I am using
the VIRTIO drivers.
 
Is this known limitation of KVM-83-164 (Centos5 release) with WinXP
32bit?  I think there are reports of it working with 32bit Windows 2003
(or was it Windows 2008?).
 
I know KVM is granting the 4 CPU's since Linux VM can use 4 CPU's on the
same computer.
 
Thanks,
 
Marcelino

we have never seen more than a 1 or 2 physical cpu version of winxp

[CentOS] [URGENT] Assistance Requested in Looking for Dr Francis T. Seow, Harvard Law School Research Fellow

2010-05-27 Thread Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
Hi,

First, I would like to apologize for the out-of-topic post. I will keep 
this as short as I possibly could.

Does anybody know Dr. Francis T. Seow, the former Solicitor-General from 
the Republic of Singapore? I want to contact him but can't seem to find 
his email address or telephone number on the internet. Could you help me?

Do you also know how I can contact all the justices of the Judicial 
Committee of the UK Privy Council and all the Lords of the UK House of 
Lords? According to the UK Parliament website, it says that many Peers 
do not have public email addresses.

I would like to apologize again for using this platform to get my 
message across as my email accounts may have been compromised.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are trying to reach someone who
probably has nothing todo with this, or most other Linux related mailing
lists. And you're making a lot of people angry by doing this.

Phone harvard, or google his name. Or drive there and ask someone where he
is. or something.

P.S. Stop apologizing as well, just stop posting to these lists, it's

 You are comparing two unlike things.  You can't very well judge the
 benefits of SELinux based on a system which hasn't needed its protection.



I'm comparing a simple metric that applies to *ANY* system admin job:

  (Downtime)  /  (Machines * Years)

The metric *DOESN'T CARE* if that downtime is because of bad power, hard 
drive crashes, hackers,  cosmic rays, SELinux, or poor admining.

It cares that the services are offline, on how many machines and for how 
long.

Arguing that I'm comparing apple and oranges is like claiming that 
(using my analogy of faulty air bags again) it isn't *meaningful* for me 
to say that faulty airbags that go off randomly while driving is a 
bigger hazard than car accidents for me because I haven't had any car 
crashes specifically needing air bags: The airbag going off randomly 
while I'm driving is very likely to *cause* a serious car accident 
itself. I'm measuring *all* serious accidents - not just 'accidents 
where the airbag might have gone off'.

A 'safety feature' that *causes* more damage than it prevents isn't a 
safety feature - it's a hazard. And on otherwise properly maintained 
systems, SELinux is a hazard.

 It is a 'safety' feature that is in practice more dangerous to system
 stability than what it is trying to fix.
  
 I advise administrators to test all updates on non-production systems.
 SELinux updates are no exception.

I have *twenty* virtual machines I deploy updates to before it ever 
touches my production systems. Not everything is testable on 
non-production machines. Nor, as the system admin, senior programmer and 
desktop support person for the entire company do I have the sheer time 
needed to test every sub-system before deployment. And I shouldn't damn 
well *need* to on a normal system update to an Enterprise grade 
distribution (I'm not knocking the CentOS team here - this is about 
Redhat and SELinux).

SELinux makes my systems significantly *LESS* reliable instead of *MORE* 
reliable. And that is a bad thing.

Now back to fixing the SELinux configuration on a machine I had to put 
in 'permissive' mode a few weeks ago because the last round of SELinux 
updates broke the web server's ability to open its own log files. That 
is what I still have left to fix after having to relabel the entire 
system to fix the other breakages the update introduced. And no - I'm 
not kidding or making things up.

We know that it should update the boot config.  And under most
circumstances, it does.  The problem is that under some conditions,
while the boot config is updated with the new kernel information, the
default= line is changed so that it points at the old kernel rather than
the new one.  So far, we don't fully understand why this happens.  My
theory is that it has something to do with manually creating the config
file.  I have not tested this yet, but I would guess that if you removed
the comments at the top of the grub.conf file and then did a kernel
update, you would see this behavior.

[CentOS] Multipathing with Sun 7310

2010-05-27 Thread Jens Neu
Dear list,

we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 
Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades 
boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to 
use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already seen 
by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which 
run in active/passive mode. BUT the multipathd thinks, they are 
active/active and therefor shows half the available paths as faulty 
(multipath -ll below)
While this probably gives me the redundancy that is desired, it is a 
relatively messy situation, since it will be unnecessary hard to detect 
real path failures and the OS is complaining about readsector0 checker 
reports path is down which gives me 40M/24h /var/log/messages garbage.
Any hints for a reasonable configuration? Unfortunately the Sun 7310 is 
rather new, so almost nothing shows up on google... even less for 
RHEL/CentOS :-(

regards from Berlin
Jens

Most of the people I see griping about SElinux just don't want to be

don't spend the time learning the tools. It's relatively simple to set
file contexts or policy and I just don't see the downtime being a factor

Hello Jens,

looks like your multipathing setup is using multibus path_grouping_policy.
Did you create a custom /etc/multipath.conf? You should have. As your
device is new and not known with proper defaults by the
device-mapper-multipath you will have to set the path_grouping_policy
explicitly.

devices {
 device {
 vendor SUN
 product Sun Storage 7310== REMARK
 path_grouping_policy failover
 getuid_callout /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n
 prio_callout /sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n
 features 0
 hardware_handler 1 rdac
 path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
 failback immediate
 rr_weight uniform
 no_path_retry queue
 rr_min_io 1000
 path_checker rdac
 }
}

REMARK: to detect the proper product name issue for instance:

  cat /sys/block/sda/device/model

Restart the multipathd after editing the multipath.conf and I expect
`multipath -ll or `multipathd -kshow paths' will show you the paths
correctly weighted.

Regards

Alexander

 Check the BIOS, I have seen HP desktops that have option in BIOS
 to turn  off multicore support. Then only single core is exposed
 to the OS.

 
 Looked in the BIOS and there was no setting.

 Top is only showing 1 CPU.
 

 look in /var/log/dmesg, that will show what was found during the
 boot process (and perhaps provide other insights).

I added path_grouping_policy failover because of your message. I also

Re: [CentOS] Multipathing with Sun 7310






 Dear list,

 we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5
 Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The 
Blades
 boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to
 use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already 
seen
 by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which
 run in active/passive mode. BUT the multipathd thinks, they are
 active/active and therefor shows half the available paths as faulty
 (multipath -ll below)
 While this probably gives me the redundancy that is desired, it is a
 relatively messy situation, since it will be unnecessary hard to detect
 real path failures and the OS is complaining about readsector0 checker
 reports path is down which gives me 40M/24h /var/log/messages garbage.
 Any hints for a reasonable configuration? Unfortunately the Sun 7310 is
 rather new, so almost nothing shows up on google... even less for
 RHEL/CentOS :-(

 regards from Berlin
 Jens

 Do you have multiple pp files definitin zosremote?

Well, after I googled zosremote, and found it's zos-remote, and where its
config file was, in /etc/audisp I see:
-rw-r- 1 root root  210 Mar 31 02:26 audispd.conf
-rw-r- 1 root root  620 Mar 31 02:26 audisp-remote.conf

-rw-r- 1 root root  246 Mar 31 02:26 zos-remote.conf

And I *guarantee* I have *never* done anything other than just upgrade
this system, and that this system has had selinux disabled all along, so
if there are, they were installed with a yum update from whatever the
upstream has packaged.

[CentOS] Firefox slower on GMail since update to CentOS 5.5

2010-05-27 Thread Mathieu Baudier
Hello,

since I upgraded from CentOS x86_64 5.4 to 5.5, I noticed that Firefox
has become significantly slower on GMail (or Google Apps Mail).

The page becomes slow to scroll as soon as there are more than a few
mails in a conversation (like in a typical CentOS mailing list
thread).

Did anyone else notice that as well?
(I guess that I'm not the only GMail user around)
Could I have missed something / do something wrong?

More details:
- I did a fresh install from the 5.5 install DVD, keeping only the
home directories
- I'm using the Nvidia driver from elrepo (but I had the pb also with
the default driver)

Cheers,

Mathieu

I have finite resources.

If I had junior admins who could spend weeks doing testing of every 
update before deployment, twice as many physical machines as I now have 
so I could deploy dozens of VMs _just for testing updates_ (and let's 
not even begin to discuss the non-virtualizable machines such as the 
backups storage servers) , an extra co-location rack to put those 
additional servers in, and the budget to fix any emergent SELinux 
breakage, then, yeah, that would work. At a net cost several times 
higher than my current budget.

Or I can turn off SELinux on most of my systems and not get my systems 
gratuitously broken every few to several months by SELinux policy 
updates. For my current budget.

Hmmm What to do... What to do

I?ve google and searched, and have had very little luck...

I have:

1. Installed all the packages.
2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP.
3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory
4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch
5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication)
6. Added a user using LAM.
7. Confirmed user is in directory.
8. Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd
9. Confirmed using ?getent passwd | grep username? that the user is listed.
10. Confirmed using ?getent passwd? shows two records for each user except
ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP).

However,

   ?id username?

Returns unknown user
snip

Assuming you have set up both server and client, I would try the following:
1) Don't use nscd until you can confirm basic auth to the Ldap server
is working.

2) Enable logging on the Ldap server.  Afair, CentOS defaults to
loglevel 0, which is no logs.  Try something like loglevel 256.

3) Try to authenticate from a client while tailing the server logs.
That should give you an idea of whether the client is even reaching
the server, and if so what sort of error is occurring.

Btw you didn't mention if you were doing Ldap over tls, but that adds
another point of failure.  See here for a step-by-step test procedure
for ssl/tls:  http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html

I see nothing in the bios for ACPI which is odd.

in /proc/acpi/processor there is a CPU0 and CPU1
the info file shows process id: 0 and 1 in each file.

So it looks like its there but /proc/cpuinfo still only shows 1 entry.

Just not sure the OS is really using two cores. It seems like its not.

Postfix 2.3.3 that comes with RH/CentOS is very old, there are lots of

Latest stable version is 2.7. I was looking for RPM packages and I've

I cured my nvidia driver problems (which re-arose every kernel update or

nvidia is not fond of the Linux world (compared to ATI).

 http://ftp.wl0.org/official/

 Anybody using it? Good things, bad things?...

 Anybody using Postfix 2.7 on CentOS by the way? Do you have any
 observations?

  nvidia is not fond of the Linux world (compared to ATI).
 
 A more realistic way to say that is that linux is 
 intentionally incompatible with a lot of other software.

AIUI, nvidia gives (to the linux world) less information about how to
exploit nvidia capabilities than does ATI, and that the linux world is
not ignoring information proffered by nvidia.  How then is it that linux
is intentionally incompatible with nvidia and other software?  Or do you
refer to driver versioning?

(a number of things are screwy with the linux world; nvidia
dysfunctionality is not on the list intentionally)

/AIUI

btw congrats to the OP for solving the problem!

For one thing, the license terms do not permit including software with

I'm not sure if I have the problem or not (don't think so), but I have
to take issue with this last bit (changing interfaces).

I'm running the nvidia driver
dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-185.18.14-1.nodist.rf.x86_64 from Oct 22, 2009,
and IIRC it has survived the 5.4 and 5.5 updates without any problems
at all.  Perhaps that's because dkms rebuilds the driver for each new
kernel, but even so, the interfaces can't have changed too much if
they still build and work.

When I was working on the Linux kernel directly, one of the least
likely areas of change was the driver interface, precisely because
changes at this level are detrimental to all new driver development
and old driver compatibility.  The driver API is fairly well
established and less likely to change than most other fly-by-night
(i.e., M$) OSs.  Even the proprietary versions of UNIX don't mess with
this (much).  They may be different, but they aren't too variable.

Thus, I find this claim difficult to believe.

Do you have examples?  Proof?

Cheers.

Those are for things that are separate programs, not something that

The drivers included as part of the kernel are recompiled to match each

[CentOS] sendmail and relaying

2010-05-27 Thread Jerry Geis
I think my sendmail is not correctly set. It says the default is to 
disallow relaying.
 I am running centos 4.8 and I think sendmail is relaying for anything.

Based on this:
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89f.html#RELAYING

I added|:
FEATURE(relay_hosts_only)
to my sendmail.mc file and restarted sendmail. I am still seeing 
connects that get relayed and are
not in my /etc/mail/access file.

Is there something else I am missing?

I assume that means you got a rebuilt sendmail.cf before restarting 
sendmail, but you'll want to make sure.

I also assume that you've defined the access_db feature in your 
sendmail.mc file.

That said, I don't include the relay_hosts_only FEATURE at all. I just 
add the IP addresses of the hosts that can relay into the access file, 
e.g.,

1.2.3.4 RELAY

Works for me.

Re: [CentOS] sendmail and relaying

   I am running centos 4.8 and I think sendmail is relaying for anything.

 Based on this:
 http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89f.html#RELAYING

 I added|:
 FEATURE(relay_hosts_only)
 to my sendmail.mc file and restarted sendmail. I am still seeing
 connects that get relayed and are
 not in my /etc/mail/access file.

 Is there something else I am missing?

How much have you changed from the stock sendmail.mc?  The default 
should (a) only accept connections from localhost (127.0.0.1), and (b) 
even when you remove that restriction should only accept messages where 
the server is the final destination unless it is from a source 
explicitly permitted in the access file.

Re: [CentOS] Calendar server software suggestions

I

I would welcome comments from anyone with 
 experience with devical.

DAViCal is excellent. Perhaps more at home on a Debian based disty, but can be 
installed with 'alien' on CentOS. I think I had to fiddle with some file 
permissions on CentOS.

It works well, although my brother (who I set it up for) never managed to 
figure out the calendar permissions.

[CentOS] Replacement tape drive configuration

2010-05-27 Thread Hugh E Cruickshank
CentOS 4.8

Hi All:

We recently had a Sony SDX-500V tape drive fail on one of our servers
running CentOS 4.8. I have now replaced it with a spare SDX-500C. The
problem that I am having now is that the failed drive had ceased
responding to SCSI commands and we have since rebooted the system
which resulted in the tape drive being removed from our current
hardware configuration and the system does not recognize the new
tape drive.

I know that I can just reboot the system and kudzu will add the tape
drive back in during the boot process however I was wondering if it
would be possible to manually run kudzu to add the drive or am I just
borrowing trouble by trying to do this?

TIA

Regards, Hugh

You could try to rescan the SCSI bus:

When you say the 'system' no longer recognizes the tape drive, are you 
sure the SCSI controller even detects the tape drive during boot? From 
what I've seen, tape drives use the generic tape driver and get mapped 
to /dev/stX.

I know that it will recognize it on a reboot however I did not want to
wait until a reboot was convenient. I was looking for a way to add
the drive without having to do a reboot. Brian's suggestion has
worked and I am now using the tape drive without having to do a
reboot.

Re: [CentOS] Multipathing with Sun 7310

2010-05-27 Thread James A. Peltier

On Thu, 27 May 2010, Jens Neu wrote:


Dear list,

we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 Servers 
(IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades boot from SAN 
via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We
want them to use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are 
already seen by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads 
which run in active/passive mode. BUT the
multipathd thinks, they are active/active and therefor shows half the available 
paths as faulty (multipath -ll below)
While this probably gives me the redundancy that is desired, it is a relatively 
messy situation, since it will be unnecessary hard to detect real path failures and 
the OS is complaining about readsector0
checker reports path is down which gives me 40M/24h /var/log/messages garbage.
Any hints for a reasonable configuration? Unfortunately the Sun 7310 is rather 
new, so almost nothing shows up on google... even less for RHEL/CentOS :-(

There may be a vendor specific RDAC driver needed to properly interface 
with the 7310 unit or with the vendor HBA.  Check and see as that driver 
may properly hide the hardware multiple paths, etc.

Yeah ~ That tool is very excellent , by the way , I searched another tool
called Bedework via the Google . This tool maybe is very useful. Because
you can use it to connect the LDAP Server for authenticating the users .

Bedework is an open-source enterprise calendar system that supports public,
personal, and
group calendaring. It is designed to conform to current calendaring
standards with a goal of
attaining strong interoperability between other calendaring systems and
clients. Bedework is
built with an emphasis on higher education, though it is used by many
commercial
enterprises.


So if the tool can be authenticated  the users using the LDAP Server ,
 it maybe very convenient to the  enterprise . isn't it ?
