Hi, Luc,

I have set up a blank 'homepage', with the appropriate ACL for 
you to amend as you see fit at:
http://wiki.centos.org/LucLalonde

** and ** you can add content 'underneath that URL, as in:
http://wiki.centos.org/LucLalonde/TimeMachine

Could you please post a preview there, and let the list know 
when to look in on it?

Thank you

Buenas noches!!

Siguiendo los pasos que me da el siguiente en enlace: 
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO#Step_8_Configure_DNS

Al tratar de ejecutar lo siguiente: host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.samdom.example.com

Me lanza el siguiente error: Host _ldap._tcp.samdom.example.com not found: 
3(NXDOMAIN)

A que se debe esto??


Utilizo Centos 6.3

- [fs] ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type (J.

Is the 813070 number a bugzilla entry? I get an access denied when
trying to read it.

Is there an easy way to remove this patch to test it (in a test 
environment, the main server is back on the old kernel)?

In the Good Old Days redhat kernel SRPMS were a vanilla kernel plus
1.0e+117 patches, now it doesn't look so simple.

No easy way at all to do it.

The only way to do it is with RHN access and then you can look at
individual commits to the version control system and try to back one out.

 Can somebody point me to a HowTO or other documentation describing the
 tools available under the CentOS 5 KVM package to create and manage a
 Windows 7 Pro VM?  All my VM experience to date has been the old free
 VMware Server.

Assuming you have hardware acceleration and 64 bit version installed,
look for the virt-manager package.

The interface is very similar to virtual box.


 I need to:
+ Create the VM instance allowing for about 50GB total disk space which
  will be either a single image partitioned into two Windows 'Drives'
  for the OS and applications/data, or two images.

The default location for the hard disk image file is under /var/lib
path.This can be changed to point to a different location if you
are planning many such large installation.   An alternate method could
be to define a file or a LVM and then tell virt-manager the location
of this file/LVM volume.

+ Install Windows 7 from an OEM System Builder Pack, either using the
  CD/DVD drive on the Linux server or from an image created with 'dd'
  from the Win7 media.

Any x86 OS can be installed.  Choose a NIC like Realtek or Intel Pro,
drivers for which should be recognizable by the Windows installer.

+ Set up network bridging on the private LAN so that the Windows system
  is accessible via OpenVPN connections from the outside world and by
  users on the LAN to run a client/server accounting application.

I have done KVM VLANs but I am not sure if it can be done from the
virt-manager.   Experiment and see how far you can go.

Best,

I concur. The only thing I get from elrepo is kmod-nvidia; on install, it
creates a blacklist for nouveau, so it won't be automatically loaded. It
also rebuilds by itself when you update the kernel, instead of having to
manually rebuild the drivers from the proprietary installer.

I hear rumors that kmod-nvidia will be coming in RHEL soon, and so here to
CentOS.

No it isn't. As long as nVidia drivers are closed source and proprietary, they 
will never be in Fedora. I wouldn't know about RHEL, though, they might decide 
whatever they want to do. However, some main Nouveau developers are employed 
by RH, so I wouldn't bet on RHEL importing nVidia drivers.

 Can somebody point me to a HowTO or other documentation describing the

Assuming you have hardware acceleration and 64 bit version installed,
look for the virt-manager package.

Thanks.  I found that after doing some poking around.  I'll be in
my normal 'learn by destroying' mode this afternoon (apologies to
Jeff Lieberman of learnbydestroying.com :-).

The interface is very similar to virtual box.

I've never used that, only VMware so far.


 I need to:
+ Create the VM instance allowing for about 50GB total disk space which
  will be either a single image partitioned into two Windows 'Drives'
  for the OS and applications/data, or two images.

The default location for the hard disk image file is under /var/lib
path.This can be changed to point to a different location if you
are planning many such large installation.   An alternate method could
be to define a file or a LVM and then tell virt-manager the location
of this file/LVM volume.

Thanks for that info.  It looks like everything is under
/var/lib/libvrt.

I assume that I can replace /var/lib/libvirt/images with a
symlink to another file system with adequate space.

Would it be safe to symlink the entire /var/lib/libvrt directory
to another file system?  I just tried 'lsof /var/lib/libvirt' on
the system with no VMs and the libvrtd service running, and it
doesn't show anything using it at idle.

+ Install Windows 7 from an OEM System Builder Pack, either using the
  CD/DVD drive on the Linux server or from an image created with 'dd'
  from the Win7 media.

Any x86 OS can be installed.  Choose a NIC like Realtek or Intel Pro,
drivers for which should be recognizable by the Windows installer.

+ Set up network bridging on the private LAN so that the Windows system
  is accessible via OpenVPN connections from the outside world and by
  users on the LAN to run a client/server accounting application.

I have done KVM VLANs but I am not sure if it can be done from the
virt-manager.   Experiment and see how far you can go.

I will be digging into this later today.  So far I've found the
file /var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml and see a vibr0
interface defined.

The documentation I found yesterday described setting up briding,
but hopefully virt-manager has a nicer way to do it.

  This bug has been reported in the CentOS bug tracker here:
 
  0005824: tigervnc-server-module keep crashing
  http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5824
 
  However, this appears to be a bug upstream. The source RPM provided with
  CentOS is identical to that of upstream with no modifications. Also,
  there is an upstream bug reported that appears to have the same
  symptoms. I have added a comment to the upstream bug report (listed
  below) if anyone wishes to see the details.
 
  tigervnc-server-module crashes with dual screen setup
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820443
 
 
 
  We have verified that rebuilding the unmodified source RPM for tigervnc
  produces a tigervnc-server-module RPM that does not suffer from this
  bug.
 
  Removing the original tigervnc-server-module package and replacing it
  with the rebuilt one fixes the problem.
 
  I've duplicated the problem on 2 EL 6.3 x86_64 single-head display
  machines and have verified the fix.
 
  Tomorrow, I'll duplicate the problem on a dual-head x86_64 machine that
  currently still works after updating to EL 6.2 then confirm the the fix.
 
  Did you rebuild the SRPM using mock or directly on a physical machine
  with rpmbuild?
  No mock, just a simple rpmbuild -ba SPEC/tigervnc.spec
 
 OK, if you find that this solves your problems for sure, I will build
 the SRPM outside of mock and see if it is different.

I've confirmed the same faulty behavior for the update to 6.3 on our
dual-head systems.

Also confirmed is that replacing the 6.3 base tigervnc-server-module rpm
with the rebuilt one does fix the problem on the dual-head systems.

One disturbing difference between single and dual headed systems is that
on the dual-head systems Xorg generates a core dump and completely
freezes up when the mouse movement is detected. Single-head systems just
fail to connect. This complication could be somehow caused by our
proprietary ATI FirePro 2270 drivers, though. Once the rebuilt module
is installed the systems run fine.

I've also updated the upstream bug report.

Yes, as long as SeLinux is not enforced.
But why not simply mount a dedicated partition here? The actual path is 
stored in de VM definition. So existing machines need to be changed 
(virsh edit VM). I think the default path is only used as e default 
location. I have moved the images of several machines to a NFS path to 
make live migration work.
Do remember that /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save is used to save system state

This I find the most difficult part. I have done it a couple of time and 
made myself a HOWTO. You need to fill in some IP figures of course. I 
assume a fixed IP address, but DHCP should work as well. The setup 
creates a bridge and adds and existing interface (ifcfg-ethx) to that 
bridge. After that you can use the bridge for the VMs:

[CentOS] libfget ported to CentOS 6.2?

2012-08-16 Thread drichards
Hi,
I have used the library calls of an open source library called libfget,
which I had running on Fedora 8. I am now trying to build it and run it on
CentOS 6.2, but there are some problems. The original maintainer of that
package is not currently available and I tried to post to that list but no
one answered.
I wonder if anyone here has needed to use this and had success in building
and running it. There are bugs in the socket programming (getsock* calls
and select()). I replaced gethostbyname_r with getaddrinfo, but I can't
figure out why a select() call is failing.
I am using the lastest version: fget-1.3.3.tar.gz (libfget.so).
Thanks,
  Dirce

 weeks back. Not only with cut-and-paste, but just typing into the
 editor
 window.  If a line starts with # then every following line after that
 also
 gains one as you type.

 Huh. I just tried it, KDE, rxvt, CentOS 6.3, and don't see that.
 # ipmitool -o supermicro sel list
1 | 08/15/2012 | 20:06:32 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis
 intrusion | Asserted
 gets just that.

 It is probably trying to be smarter than we are and doing something
 context-sensitive.  Try naming the file you are editing something.pl.

Odd. vi trythis.pl, then I highlight from another window
# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/mipav-svn(/.*)?'
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:  line 5 has
invalid regex mipav-svn/(*):  Invalid preceding regular expression

, and that's what I get, with two lines.

[CentOS] Software RAID woes due to GRUB

2012-08-16 Thread SilverTip257
Hello,

I recently cloned an old install from one server chassis to another via rsync.
The old setup only had one disk and the new one is set up with two
disks in a softraid.
I managed to solve the problem and thought I'd present it here to
benefit others.

attempting to add sda3 to md2 says:
mdadm: hot add failed for /dev/sda3: Invalid argument

dmesg says:
md: could not bd_claim sda3.
md: error, md_import_device() returned -16

Drive is not mounted or in use by the OS.
SMART error logs do not indicate any disk failures.
I can boot up to a rescue CD and the array assembles just fine.

Go figure the old install used partition labels to determine the boot
device.  So GRUB grabbed the first disk /dev/sda, on which root was
label / or device /dev/sda3. So GRUB kept /dev/sda3 busy so that
mdadm couldn't add it to the array.

Changing the root= device kernel param in grub.conf to the raid device
md2 and re-rolling the initial ramdisk cleared up the problem.
It boots fine and assembles a healthy softraid now.


Maybe it's a stupid item to overlook, but it certainly gave me a head
scratcher for a bit.
Have a laugh ... I certainly did when things were up and running properly again.

 This bug has been reported in the CentOS bug tracker here:

 0005824: tigervnc-server-module keep crashing
 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5824

 However, this appears to be a bug upstream. The source RPM provided with
 CentOS is identical to that of upstream with no modifications. Also,
 there is an upstream bug reported that appears to have the same
 symptoms. I have added a comment to the upstream bug report (listed
 below) if anyone wishes to see the details.

 tigervnc-server-module crashes with dual screen setup
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820443



 We have verified that rebuilding the unmodified source RPM for tigervnc
 produces a tigervnc-server-module RPM that does not suffer from this
 bug.

 Removing the original tigervnc-server-module package and replacing it
 with the rebuilt one fixes the problem.

 I've duplicated the problem on 2 EL 6.3 x86_64 single-head display
 machines and have verified the fix.

 Tomorrow, I'll duplicate the problem on a dual-head x86_64 machine that
 currently still works after updating to EL 6.2 then confirm the the fix.

 Did you rebuild the SRPM using mock or directly on a physical machine
 with rpmbuild?
 No mock, just a simple rpmbuild -ba SPEC/tigervnc.spec
 OK, if you find that this solves your problems for sure, I will build
 the SRPM outside of mock and see if it is different.
 I've confirmed the same faulty behavior for the update to 6.3 on our
 dual-head systems.

 Also confirmed is that replacing the 6.3 base tigervnc-server-module rpm
 with the rebuilt one does fix the problem on the dual-head systems.

 One disturbing difference between single and dual headed systems is that
 on the dual-head systems Xorg generates a core dump and completely
 freezes up when the mouse movement is detected. Single-head systems just
 fail to connect. This complication could be somehow caused by our
 proprietary ATI FirePro 2270 drivers, though. Once the rebuilt module
 is installed the systems run fine.

 I've also updated the upstream bug report.

can you see if either or both of these work for you:

http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/tigervnc/

One set was built inside of mock, the other outside of mock in a virtual
machine with only the build requirements of the SRPM installed.

[CentOS] default gateway outside of the LAN

2012-08-16 Thread Boris Epstein
Hello all,

We have a somewhat unique setup whereby our default router is outside of
the local network.

Let us say our network is 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0

So we have a route-eth0 file that looks something like this:

10.1.1.1 via 192.168.10.1 dev eth0
default 10.1.1.1 dev eth0

The last definition would simply not take - but it has to for the setup to
work. And no, 192.168.10.1 does not operate as a full-fledge router due to
our setup.

When we attempt to add it manually we get the following error:

RTNETLINK answers: No such process

When we use ifup we get the following:

Error: either to is a duplicate, or 10.1.1.1 is a garbage.

A little discussion of this can be found here:

http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-static-routes.html

and here:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/etc-init-d-networking-restart-errors-637610/

It does not help us, however. Any tips much appreciated.

Cheers,

Boris.

 When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a
 single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to
 all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level.  Is there
 some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and
 permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every
 machine/user where I might log in?

 To make vi less annoying, I always create a .vimrc in the homedir of the

[CentOS] OT: what are all these probes from my firewall log????

I'm getting a gazillion of these probes in my firewall logs. I don't
understand what's going on here,... These all look like bootp requests
from 10.21.72.1, to 255.255.255.255. 

there's certainly no 10.x.x.x here on this network, and I don't get the
destination address... is it possible to send packets out onto the
internet addressed like that? 

whois doesn't turn up anything on 10.21.72.1. 

Anybody got suggestions on how I'd track this down?

John, I'm willing to believe that, but I don't know where it would be
coming from... not to mention that 10.x.x.x isn't valid on my LAN,
it's in the 192.168.x.x range. I guess I could go around disconnecting
things and see where it's coming from. other than some PCs, there is a
networked printer, a LaCie RAID-1 network storage box, and a Television,
which is allegedly turned off (but as we all know you don't turn them
off, really, at least some part is still on). last time I looked at
the TV config it was properly configured in 192.168.x.x, but perhaps
I should go downstairs and take another look.

... no, it's not the tv, I just unplugged its cat5 from the jack and
the issue didn't stop.

weird. 

hmm... just did traceroute 10.21.72.1 and it comes back as being a
system at my ISP. that doesn't seem right to me. they shouldn't be
broadcaasting such stuff, as far as I know, at least.

Any other thoughts?

the MAC address prefix on that DHCP thing is 00:23:EB which is 
Cisco...   and yes, ISP's frequently use private IP space for internal 
gateway networks.   they aren't routable on the public internet, they 
don't have to be, they are just used for routes within the ISP's WAN.

this is on your eth0 side, I'm assuming thats the WAN side of your 
firewall/gateway ?if so, then yes, I imagine its something at your 
ISP, you might ask them what these are.

Yup looks like the ISP is checking to see who's on.

[CentOS] DNS DoS attack

2012-08-16 Thread Jussi Hirvi
Looks like one of my name servers (CentOS 5) gets a lot of malicious 
queries. The cpu load is constantly about 3 %. I put on stricter limits 
on who is allowed recursive queries, but this does not affect the CPU 
load. I also updated bind.

I temporarily turned on querylog (command: rndc querylog), and noticed 
that I get over 200 queries like this per second:

 Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 205.145.64.200#53: query (cache) 
 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied
 Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 204.10.45.5#53: query (cache) 
 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied
 Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 78.40.35.212#53: query (cache) 
 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied
 Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 207.207.3.126#53: query (cache) 
 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied

Are there any ways to mitigate this, or do I just have to wait?

meh, if its coming from lots of random hosts, then fail2ban style 
techniques won't work.  I assume this is an authoritative name server?   
does it have recursive queries disabled so it can only return results 
for the domain(s) its authoritative for ?
