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.

[CentOS] libfget ported to CentOS 6.2?
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).

[CentOS] Software RAID woes due to GRUB
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. ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 // ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] default gateway outside of the LAN
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. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

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.

[CentOS] DNS DoS attack
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? - Jussi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
