Re: [CentOS] Installing CentOS 6.2 *TO* a USB drive, not installing from USB.

Yes, that is what I understand from the grub manual. However, from that I also understand and expect the first and only device grub could find would be hd0 If you can boot a USB live media on this box, you could bring up a grub shell and see how grub sees the disks from that (at a root prompt, type 'grub' and you'll be greeted with the grub shell, and then you can do detection or whatever from that). This also works in the rescue environment given by the install media; you do want to do a 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' in that shell before entering the grub shell, though. I've done this previously from the rescue environment but got no closer to resolving this. I've tried it again with a default install of CentOS 6.2, using default drive layout and all. On first boot, I get the grub shell but I have not been able to find any command that would list valid devices grub can find, apart from the tab button. Rebooting into the rescue environment, chrooting into the drive, grub-install generates the map to hd(0) which was expected. Runing grub shell and trying root (hd0) also works. However, rebooting after updating the grub device map always results in Booting from local disk... Error 21 which indicates grub couldn't find the drive specified. Any ideas how I can probe/list devices within grub shell? I've done the stupid method of root(hd0,x) all the way up to root(hd8,3) without luck. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] rhel/centos alternative to logwatch?
Logwatch file shows last upgrade to the code was 2007. The unmatched entries are killing me in the reports. I figure there must be a newer utility centos has in the repo but I cannot find one.

Using customizations to logwatch helps greatly with unmatched entries. I was spending too much time looking through the logwatch email due to unmatched entries that I did not need to see. So, I used customizations to eliminate or consolidate into one line the unmatched entries. Customizations are placed in /etc/logwatch under the appropriate directory (e.g. conf or scripts). Logwatch will use both the default and the custom configurations. Settings in the custom file override default settings. A custom script will be executed in place of the default (standard) script. For customizations, I included one custom setting to direct logwatch to ignore entries from specific hosts. I created a new configuration file in /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles for the service (dovecot.conf in my case), adding the one setting I needed ($dovecot_ignore_host in my case.) For scripts, I copied the default script from /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services (dovecot in my case) into the /etc/logwatch/scripts/services directory, then modified it to meet my requirements. (I added elsif clauses to check for the unmatched entries and handle them as needed.) Also, updates to logwatch do not remove my custom changes. It took a couple of hours for me to get it working. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have been putting together extensive step by step notes and how tos for everything I am doing. I hope soon to be able to put this in an easy to use format or book so others starting from scratch do not take weeks or months to do it..or worse, leave hacker openings. In this regard, the logwatch unmatched are a little much (the imap disconnect, some rbl_client stuff). I thought of going through some walkthrough in changing it, but that seems a bit overboard to help a new person out...but still on the board. I just assumed there was something newer out there. 2007 was the last release notes for the version installed on centos. There is a newer version out there, but that would be off of the base repo and not sure if I want to go that route in the how-to. I think it is important to write all this stuff out for others like me. I literally spent a month trying to bond and bridge my single server into virtual machines. Something was causing a timeout/arp something or another and one VM would always disappear. A whole month. hours a day. Then I found out that there is a LONG standing bug in rhel and fedora that specifically deals with two internal eths bonded together going to a bridge in the same computer, with libvirtd. :( so, a month wasted. Yikes. Having that little bit of knowledge in a how-to manual could save someone the trials and pain I went through. (although, on the plus side, I REALLY know alot about bridge and bonds inside the server now..lol) I will take a look and try to see if it will be easy to change the postfix and dovecot. More than likely I will just tell them what it is and 'good luck' at figuring it out..lol So, thanks for the input. I will stick with logwatch and give it a go. bob ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well. not sure about adding 7.4 yet, but I did go here http://logreporters.sourceforge.net/ I added the postfix and postfix.conf files in their proper /etc/logwatch folders. 7.4, due to licensing, has taken away the awesome postfix reporting that is in 7.3.
