[CentOS-es] Problema servicio named DNS SERVER BIND

2010-11-09 Thread Lucas Smud

Hola estoy configurando BIND en mi servidor Centos 5.5 y al hacerle un restart 
al servicio named me da este fallo:
 
[r...@ns ~]# service named restart
Deteniendo named:  [  OK  ]

   [FALLÓ]El problema 
está en la redirección en el archivo:

zone midominio.com.ar {
type master;
file midominio.com.ar.zone;
allow-update { none; };
};

zone 222.52.190.in-addr.arpa {
type master;
file 222.52.190.in-addr.arpa.zone;
};


Si yo eliminio esto del archivo: (que sería la inversa)

 zone 222.52.190.in-addr.arpa {

type master;

file 222.52.190.in-addr.arpa.zone;

};


 
El servicio me inicia osea que supongo que el problema está en el archivo:

222.52.190.in-addr-arpa.zone que tiene los siguientes comandos:

$TTL86400
@IN SOAmidominio.com.ar. ns.devotopc.com.ar. (
42; serial (d. adams)
3H; refresh
15M; retry
1W; expiry
1D ); minimum

197IN midominio.com.ar. 
197IN ns.midominio.com.ar. 
197IN www.midominio.com.ar.


La pregunta es la siguiente:

¿está mal configurado el archivo 222.52.190.in-addr-arpa.zone?

Muchas gracias

Saludos.

Para autenticar PCs con Windows debes combinarlo con un Samba. Existen
en Internet diversas guías sobre como integrar el CentOS DS con Samba.
Ten en cuenta que si son equipos Windows Vista o Windows 7, debes
cambiar la versión de Samba que trae por defecto CentOS (creando
nuevos RPM con la versión de Samba adecuada).

Hasta la próxima,

Re: [CentOS-es] Problema servicio named DNS SERVER BIND

2010-11-09 Thread Eduardo Grosclaude
2010/11/9 Lucas Smud devot...@hotmail.com:

 Buenísimo Eduardo ya tengo Apache y Bind instalado. :) :) :)
 ¿Cuál sería el siguiente paso que me convendría?

A todo esto no nos has contado exactamente para qué querías instalar
BIND... Una forma de uso de BIND es servir como cache-only, es decir,
funcionar solamente como proxy cache de DNS para los clientes de una
red local, que así no salen a los enlaces más lentos cada vez que
resuelven direcciones. Pero vos has cargado datos, así que veo que
tenés nombres para servir bajo tu autoridad. Igual asumo que conocés y
comprendés cuál es la función del BIND (que es SERVIDOR de nombres, no
cliente o RESOLVER).


 -No tengo IP fija tengo una ip dinámica,y ya tengo redireccionada mi ip de mi 
 ISP a mi servidor DNS BIND :)

Estos temas de proveedores y hosting no los he vivido nunca, y menos
con IP dinámica, así que no tengo mucho fundamento para lo que pienso.
Entiendo por lo que decís, que la IP de tu BIND está oficialmente
declarada como NS de tu dominio... Para lo cual te tenés que haber
registrado en la autoridad del dominio inmediatamente superior. Pero
está medio flojo que sea dinámica, porque en el mejor de los casos, si
la autoridad superior te lo permite, vas a tener que refrescar tu
nueva dirección cada vez que la cambies, en las tablas de él... Y esto
tiene una cierta latencia de propagación hasta que todas las caches se
enteran de que el NS cambió de dirección, y mientras tanto carecés de
servicio... Cómo se hace esto? Bajando el tiempo de vida de los
registros?

 ¿Cuáles serían las pruebas que debería hacer para saber si está funcionando 
 bien BIND?

Sospecho que habrá que testearlo con algún servicio que lo haga.
Buscando en Google sale www.checkdns.net. Algún compañero de la lista
seguramente conoce otros.

  ¿Qué me recomiendan?en nic.ar me piden un DNS primario y uno secundario.

Repito que no conozco el paño, pero sospecho que si no tenés una IP
fija es medio complicado ser servidor de nombres, no es preferible
hostear el dominio (en un DNS bien instalado en cuanto a
disponibilidad) y en todo caso ser secundario...? Lógicamente, si
podés editar el registro con tu dirección en las tablas del
superior...

Hmmm...

I have found one day that some libraries or apps NOT installed albeit
being installed are treated by systems as INSTALLED. Check if ALL
ancillary apps/libs to flash were installed.

All of us with installed RHEL (me Scientific Linux) has no problem with
Flash. I must assume that you lost something during installation.

Perhaps yours is that special case about which wrote Mr John R
Pierce - I had similar problems on netbook using the Poulsbro chipset.
Couldn't find any solution, even using Fedorka.latest.  gave up and put
the windows HD back in the netbook.

I would do the following things:

1. Try LiveCD (any) to run Flash on your hardware.
2. Install the LiveCD to check if new system will run on your PC.
3. Install CentOS once more to base system then, watching
carefully, only the apps needed to run (s)mplayer to check if multimedia
are working OK.
4. Install Flash.
5. Change graphics card when working in CentOS. ???

Heck, there's no magic in PC's software there! ;-)

BTW. You cannot run Flash, what about other multimedia files (stand
alone plus in web browsers' frames)?

 Thanks for the suggestions (others also), but I don't beleivee it'll do. We
 need to be able to access the file system directly via FC so we can lock
 files across systems. Pretty much like xSan, but not on apple. xSan is
 really StorNext from Qlogic, but half the price per node. So, we are
 searching for an alternative to xSan, on linux.

 For those who don't know xSan, you can access a fibre-channel volume
 directly, and simultanously among many clients computer or servers. Access,
 locking and other tasks are handled by a metadata controler who is
 reponsible for keeping things together. No controler, no volume, hence a
 failover controler is needed.

Right.  There's no uber-standard /bin/sh.  Very very old Unix systems
had a /bin/sh that didn't even support functions.  And let's not talk
about the different echo commands between OSes.  When writing portable
code in /bin/sh you always have to make some assumptions.

  anyways, aix users usually uses ksh.  but ksh on linux is a 
 little  sketchy.

ksh93 is pretty good, but not quite as compatible as ksh88.  ksh88 was
the SVR4 standard shell (so solaris, aix, hpux, sco etc all had it).
Unfortunately ksh88 wasn't free (speech) so pdksh was created and that's
not quite compatible with ksh88  (eg 'echo hello | read a' gives different
results).  What I found funny was that zsh in ksh-compat mode was really
really close (in 1993 I converted a 700 line ksh88 script to run under zsh in
ksh-mode; required 2 changes in total).

On CentOS5 ksh-20100202-1.el5_5.1 is ksh93.  It's possible to write code
that works identically in ksh93 and ksh88 and that's pretty portable.

Are any of your LVM volumes on IDE drives?

If all of your LVM volumes are on SATA (or SCSI), then you can tell LVM

Pretty much.

Since we were about to purchase about 8 new xserve to build a new xSan on
top of an active raid 16 1 tb disk enclosure as our new production
environement, we are exploring other possibilities, open source (preferably) 
or not.

I took a quick look at redhat's GFS, and it seems promising and do pretty

I've not looked at it in a few years, but I seem to recall that ash
was fairly close to the traditional Bourne syntax.

I don't know if it is helpful to your case, but if you have a 
script that is bash-specific, it is a good idea to change the magic
line from 
   # !/bin/sh
to
   # !/bin/bash
That way, if you're running it on non-Linux platforms it will either
work or give you a useful error message up front (in the case that
bash isn't installed).

I guess it depends on your definition of reasonable ;-)
The smallest silver-edition license you can buy is 1100 bucks onetime and
65 renewal every year.

Personally, I would really try to find the funding for a real SUN

Those S7000s can do everything (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FC) and very fast.

[CentOS] Running a DNS signed zone on Centos 5.5

2010-11-09 Thread Robert Moskowitz
My DNS server has been running Centos for some time.

I am in the process of upgrading it to Centos 5.5 (long overdue, I know).

Since we now have .com signed I want to get my domain signed as well, 
but I see that Centos 5.5 is running BIND 9.3.6 and a thread on the BIND 
list recommends against running a DNSSEC master zone on anything less 
than 9.6 and you really should be on 9.7.

The thread DOES mention that some functionality has been backported by 
RH to what their 9.3.6.

I did find the following:

http://jason.roysdon.net/2009/10/16/building-bind-9-6-on-rhel5-centos5-for-dnssec-nsec3-support/

Is this the best path at this time?  Can anyone point me to other documents?

I have a server that I can test this out and get everything ready before 
I upgrade my main Centos DNS server.  This way I can get it right in one 
try (or that is the dream).

I would just wait for CentOS 5.6 and sign later.

If you need to move forward more quickly, you might be able to rebuild
the SRPM's from Fedora for CentOS without too much hassle.

Moving to Fedora 13/14 is fine as long as you're OK with the short

 So, now we can all start saying, when will 5.6 be ready.  :)

Hi,

RHEL 5.6 Beta:

 - bind 9.7 - improved DNSsec support
 - PHP 5.3 - support for namespaces

That sounds great :)

2010/11/9 Robert Moskowitz r...@htt-consult.com:
 My DNS server has been running Centos for some time.

 I am in the process of upgrading it to Centos 5.5 (long overdue, I know).

 Since we now have .com signed I want to get my domain signed as well,
 but I see that Centos 5.5 is running BIND 9.3.6 and a thread on the BIND
 list recommends against running a DNSSEC master zone on anything less
 than 9.6 and you really should be on 9.7.

Hi Robert,

Take a look at here:

http://people.redhat.com/atkac/bind/5.6-test/
http://people.redhat.com/atkac/bind/5.6-test/bind97-9.7.0-1.P2.src.rpm

This is working fine with CentOS 5.5.

If you don't have enough time to compile it:

 Have you looked at Red Hat's GFS?  That seems to fit at least a portion of
 your needs (I don't use it, so I don't know all that it does).

I've spent better part of the last day to read documentation on gfs2 on 
redhat's site.

My god, that's pretty much what I'm looking for... To the point that I'll 
probably be ordering a pair of intel 1u rack servers, 2 lsi fibre channel 
card and a fiber switch to begin experimenting with this...

The documentation is very technichal, I'm ok with that, but it seems to miss 
some starting point. For instance, there's a part about the required number 
of journal to create and the size of those. But I cannot find suggested size 
or any thumb-rule for those...

That made my day ;-)

Do you have to have something that looks exactly like a file system or 
could your application use something that's more cloud-database like:

Re: [CentOS] httpd RPM newer than 2.0.63 avail for CentOS 4.x?

2010-11-09 Thread Philip Amadeo Saeli
Thank you all for the helpful and informative replies.  However, I have
some additional questions (interspersed below).

For some background, the organization I'm doing this for is a
significantly resource constrained, very small company, so I have been
having to take carefully measured steps in upgrading their systems and
bringing them into conformance.  In all cases, the systems were set up
by others prior to my time with them.

In particular, it would better, given their constraints, if I could get
their CentOS 4 system up to standards prior to migrating to a CentOS 5
system (which I'd already proposed to them).  Even migrating to CentOS 5
doesn't, by itself, solve my problem (see comments below).


* Bob McConnell rmcco...@lightlink.com [2010-11-07 07:50:42 -0500]:
 
 4. Once you finish tweaking the configuration, test all of your 
 software, web pages, etc.

 6. Do a complete acceptance test on the production server. (We actually 
 use a second Internet facing server for acceptance tests before 
 committing changes to the production server.)

How does one set up a test [web] server which has a number of sites, all
secured via SSL certs which are bound to the domain, and hence the IP
address, of the sites on the server?  They do have a developmental
server which uses one, company-issued SSL cert to secure all of the test
sites.  However, the Apache config for this is substantially different
than that for the production server.

It appears that I'd have to set up an additional, special testing DNS
space with new IP addressess, or to enter them into the hosts file(s) of
the web client test systems.  Also, I would not be able to simply copy
the httpd config file(s) from the production system to the test system
due to having to have different IP addresses for each site.  Or is there
some other way to do this?  I'm really stumped over this one.

 7. Use YUM to update your test server at least once a week.
 8. As soon as you finish testing all of the updates each week, use YUM 
 to install them on the production server. (But don't ever do this on 
 Friday. If you missed something, you don't want to have to work on the 
 weekend.)
 9. Subscribe to announcements and several security mailing lists to get 
 advanced warning of any known issues that need to be patched immediately.
 10. Start tracking RedHat/CentOS 6 release candidates ASAP.
 
 Officially, by PCI rules we have 30 days after release of an OS update 
 to get it installed on Internet facing systems. So the auditors will 
 give us one pass on their monthly validation cycle before they start to 
 complain. This does give us some time to test for problems and correct 
 them before updating the production servers. But this requires a test 
 server that is configured exactly like the production server so we can 
 make sure the updates won't break any of our applications before we will 
 install them in production.
 
 We have one developer from each product team, one QA manager, one 
 Support tech and an IT tech that track these issues and make sure our 
 servers are up to date. As one of the developers in that group, I 
 monitor CentOS announcements and two security lists, forwarding relevant 
 messages to the entire group. There is a similar but larger group 
 tracking Microsoft updates.
 
 In addition to CentOS and Apache, we also track updates to PHP, 
 PostgreSQL and a couple dozen supporting packages and maintenance tools.
 
 Bob McConnell
 N2SPP

Bob, your thoughtful, insightful, informative, and detailed reply is
very helpful.  Thanks!  My biggest hangup WRT the above is exactly how
to set up a test server that very closely mirrors the production server
without needing to have to maintain significant configuration changes,
esp WRT an SSL-secured web server.


On a related tack:

* Robert Heller hel...@deepsoft.com [2010-11-07 07:13:27 -0500]:

 Red Hat backports security updates (from newer versions).  So long as
 you have been applying the standard O/S updates (eg 'yum update')
 regularly, your http is up-to-date WRT security updates.


Even with CentOS 5, the available versions of, especially PHP and MySQL,
are not up-to-date enough feature-wise for the web site code on the
system, so later versions have to be used.  The httpd version is not so
critical in this case.  How can one cope with this situation, i.e., the
general situation of needing features not supported under a current
version of an OS so the vendor supplied updates are no longer
applicable.

In some cases I've been able to find 3rd party repos which have had the
RPMs I've needed (e.g., rpmforge, dag, epel, remi) but the ones needed
are not always available (as is the case now).  I have set up repos and
built my own RPMs in the past, but there is no budget for that in this
case.  Also, it is a lot of work, especially for a very few systems.

[CentOS] Init.d script troubleshooting.

2010-11-09 Thread Don Krause
I got a strange problem with init.d scripts on a fully updated (as of today) 
fresh install of 5.5 x64.

I've written a script, /etc/init.d/Fast that starts a fairly large and slow 
commercial application, by calling that applications control binary to do the 
actual work.

I registered the script, via chkconfig --add Fast, and the symlinks are in 
the expected places.

[r...@rpmbuilder etc]# ls /etc/rc*/*Fast
/etc/rc0.d/K10Fast  /etc/rc4.d/S90Fast
/etc/rc1.d/K10Fast  /etc/rc5.d/S90Fast
/etc/rc2.d/K10Fast  /etc/rc6.d/K10Fast
/etc/rc3.d/S90Fast

[r...@rpmbuilder etc]# ls -la init.d/Fast
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2691 Nov  9 16:49 init.d/Fast
[r...@rpmbuilder etc]# 

Testing the script, both via /etc/init.d/Fast start and service Fast start 
works, and it fully works for the implemented start,stop,status commands.

/etc/rc0.d/K10Fast stop works as expected. (as does /etc/rc1,2,6 etc..)

The script contains full paths to everything.

At boot, the script functions as expected.

My problem is that at reboot, via shutdown -r or shutdown -h the script does 
NOT get called, so naturally the system doesn't get to clean up after itself, 
then it fails to startup correctly next boot.

The startup and shutdown of this application is slow, 2+ minutes. I know it 
doesn't work at reboot or halt because the host goes down fast, and the system 
is littered with left over pid files and such that prevents a clear restart of 
the Fast process.

I've placed echo commands in the script, both in the stop() function to log the 
date/time to a file when it's called, and in the head of the script itself, 
just to see if it gets called at all during shutdown. 

As far as I can tell, the script does NOT get called at shutdown/reboot time. 
At all.

I'm just confused, this ain't supposed to be this hard... Is there some way to 
debug init?

Suggestions?

Thanks

 4. Once you finish tweaking the configuration, test all of your 
 software, web pages, etc.
 
 6. Do a complete acceptance test on the production server. (We actually 
 use a second Internet facing server for acceptance tests before 
 committing changes to the production server.)
 
 How does one set up a test [web] server which has a number of sites, all
 secured via SSL certs which are bound to the domain, and hence the IP
 address, of the sites on the server?  They do have a developmental
 server which uses one, company-issued SSL cert to secure all of the test
 sites.  However, the Apache config for this is substantially different
 than that for the production server.
 
 It appears that I'd have to set up an additional, special testing DNS
 space with new IP addressess, or to enter them into the hosts file(s) of
 the web client test systems.  Also, I would not be able to simply copy
 the httpd config file(s) from the production system to the test system
 due to having to have different IP addresses for each site.  Or is there
 some other way to do this?  I'm really stumped over this one.

It's probably not necessary to use the same certificates, as long as 
those you use are the same type and format. When we need to test to that 
level, we actually set up our own CA to generate test certificates for 
internal use only. We're testing for the functionality, not the specific 
certificates. Having said that, most of our in-house testing is done 
without SSL. Even servers that are normally part of a VPN are only 
tested within a LAN rather than on the VPN. Most of that functionality 
comes from third party FLOSS applications, so we are rather confident 
that any problems will be fixed before we run across them.

 7. Use YUM to update your test server at least once a week.
 8. As soon as you finish testing all of the updates each week, use YUM 
 to install them on the production server. (But don't ever do this on 
 Friday. If you missed something, you don't want to have to work on the 
 weekend.)
 9. Subscribe to announcements and several security mailing lists to get 
 advanced warning of any known issues that need to be patched immediately.
 10. Start tracking RedHat/CentOS 6 release candidates ASAP.

 Officially, by PCI rules we have 30 days after release of an OS update 
 to get it installed on Internet facing systems. So the auditors will 
 give us one pass on their monthly validation cycle before they start to 
 complain. This does give us some time to test for problems and correct 
 them before updating the production servers. But this requires a test 
 server that is configured exactly like the production server so we can 
 make sure the updates won't break any of our applications before we will 
 install them in production.

 We have one developer from each product team, one QA manager, one 
 Support tech and an IT tech that track these issues and make sure our 
 servers are up to date. As one of the developers in that group, I 
 monitor CentOS announcements and two security lists, forwarding relevant 
 messages to the entire group. There is a similar but larger group 
 tracking Microsoft updates.

 In addition to CentOS and Apache, we also track updates to PHP, 
 PostgreSQL and a couple dozen supporting packages and maintenance tools.

 Bob, your thoughtful, insightful, informative, and detailed reply is
 very helpful.  Thanks!  My biggest hangup WRT the above is exactly how
 to set up a test server that very closely mirrors the production server
 without needing to have to maintain significant configuration changes,
 esp WRT an SSL-secured web server.

How close the mirror has to be is a question only you can answer. But 
you have to be practical. What are you actually testing? If you have 
your own software that is providing SSL and other system level 
capabilities, then yes, you need to include them on your test system. If 
you are looking at a mix of releases that are not in sync with each 
other, yes you may need to test a little more thoroughly. But in most 
cases you will likely be using software that is part of the OS 
distribution, or what other developers 

Re: [CentOS] Init.d script troubleshooting.

2010-11-09 Thread Barry Brimer
snip
 Testing the script, both via /etc/init.d/Fast start and service Fast 
 start works, and it fully works for the implemented start,stop,status 
 commands.

 /etc/rc0.d/K10Fast stop works as expected. (as does /etc/rc1,2,6 etc..)

 The script contains full paths to everything.

 At boot, the script functions as expected.

 My problem is that at reboot, via shutdown -r or shutdown -h the script does 
 NOT get called, so naturally the system doesn't get to clean up after itself, 
 then it fails to startup correctly next boot.
snip

I believe the name of the script in /etc/init.d needs to match the name of 
the lock file dropped in /var/lock/subsys .. so either change the case of 
your lockfile so it is called Fast and not fast to match the script or 
change the name of script to fast the match the lockfile.  For further 
reference, please examine /etc/init.d/killall.  This is the script that 
stops things that have placed files in /var/lock/subsys.

Hope this helps.

Wow... It works now...

Thanks much. I didn't see that in the documentation, interesting info.
