[CentOS-docs] CentOS 6 Documentation

2012-12-18 Thread Valued Customer
Hello all.  I'm wondering when the release of version 6 documentation might
be out, or if the shift is to the wiki pages for this information.  When
going to:  *https://www.centos.org/docs/ *I don't see 6 listed.

Regards,

 Hi,
Good morning Russell,

 To change runlevel, use the following command as root:

 telinit 1
In console I've configured telinit1 and telinit 1 1stdout.txt
2stderr.txt but I have not found anything in these files
In /etc/grub/ I have deleted the rhnb and quiet string and the machine
startup is correct
I tried to reboot or power off/on the machine and now it starts correctly

I checked /var/log/messages and dmesg but I have not found anything serious

Why? How can I resolve this issue? I don't understand why it behaves so
Thanks in advance

 Do this twice, once capturing the output and the other looking at output on 
 screen.

 Hi
 Hi Russel

 My understanding is that your problem only occurs on a reboot / shutdown.

 What I would do is this:

 1) Log on as root, and identify which services are running:

 a) service --status-all
 a) http://nopaste.info/d7e4b36500.html

 b) chkconfig
 b) http://nopaste.info/4c500c96ab.html

 c) runlevel
 c) N 3

 2) Then I would change the runlevel to 1, capturing the output

 telinit 1 1stdout.txt 2stderr.txt
 how to change the runlevel?

 I would also recreate the situation and identify which script hangs /
 takes a long time to shut down.
 Thanks for your help
 Cheers

Re: [CentOS] free memory listing

2012-12-18 Thread AshikAli.m
yes. yes exactly the calculation is correct. In that machine only DRBD and
HA application running.

I tell the story,

I have a telephony server with HA and DRBD mirroring(2 machines) .
Unfortunately I installed 32 bit OS on those. I come to know that after
upgrading it to 64 system will detect all ram memory which are inserted.

In this HA, important process runs on which is production node. For
migration purpose; currently I made machine2 as production node which has
12G ram.

[root@machine2~]# free -m
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:12007  11961  46  0579   9956
-/+ buffers/cache:  1424  10582
Swap:51199  0  51199

Here,

Used memory ( 12007 - 46  ) = 11961

In that used memory 11961 - ( 579 + 9956 ) = 1429( Actually in use )

so,
46(free)+579(buffer)+9956(cached) = 10581(fraction) is free.


So, Always look into -/+ buffers/cache. That is the exactly correct.

Thanks,
Ashik.

 so you have about 32gb total physical memory.  1.3gb of that is 'used'
 but of that 290MB is buffers and 485MB is cache, so really only 533MB
 (the 2nd line) is in use by software, and 31649MB is available (which is
 the 30873 free on the 1st line, plus the 290 buffers plus the 485
 cached, as all that is considered 'discardable' [*].

 you also have 51199MB of swapfile, entirely unused.

 this looks to me like a system that was just booted, and hasn't done much.


 [*] under heavy loads, like a buay large scale database server, this sum
 isn't exactly true, some of the buffer memory is 'dirty' so not
 considered as free without first flushing it to disk...

[CentOS] dm-multipath do not autoscan partition table

2012-12-18 Thread Juraj Pisar
Hello

I am wondering if anyone este tried this.

I Have few CentOS 6.2 systems that are running KVM virtual machines. As 
storage backend for them I use 2 iscsi targets (based on openindiana). 
For accessing these disks I use dm-multipath, since I use 2 separate 
networks for access. For these reasons I want host system to force not 
to scan dm-multipath disks for partitions. According to multipath.conf 
man there should be feature to do it

defaults {
 find_multipaths yes
 user_friendly_names no
#   features 1 no_partitions

}

However when I try this error:

Dec  8 21:45:40 vnode4 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:41: multipath: 
Unrecognised multipath feature request
Dec  8 21:45:40 vnode4 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:41: multipath: 
Unrecognised multipath feature request
Dec  8 21:45:40 vnode4 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:9: multipath: 
Unrecognised multipath feature request
Dec  8 21:45:40 vnode4 kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:9: multipath: 
Unrecognised multipath feature request

Do you have similar experience, or is there better way how to solve 
this ?

Regards

Juraj

[CentOS] yum --security not detecting security updates

2012-12-18 Thread Terry
Hello,

We are running CentOS 5.5 on a server that is not reporting any
security updates:
[root@server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: bay.uchicago.edu
 * extras: bay.uchicago.edu
 * updates: mirror.nyi.net
Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
No packages needed, for security, 261 available

However, Nexpose, our vulnerability scanner detected otherwise. Upon
digging deeper, I noticed that we are on a kernel version that has a
known issue fixed in a later version:

[root@server01 ~]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.18-194.el5
kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0610.html
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2010-August/016890.html

I appreciate anyone's insight in helping me understand this a bit better.

Thanks!

What does it tell you if you don't limit the package lists to security relevant
ones?

The current version of Centos 5 is 5.8 and the kernel is 2.6.18-308.24.1.el5,
so you're rather behind the times.

Completely agree on behind the times.  It says we have 261 available.
But wouldn't the security update procedure I put below still grab
security updates?  I may update our procedures to do full updates
rather than just security but it's not working as expected so crossing
that off first.

 security updates:
 [root@server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update

This feature (yum --security) has not been implemented and CentOS
developers are working on it. See the thread on the mailing list:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2012-August/008675.html

the last post from Karanbir Singh was on Oct 3. Here is a partial quote:

I've been testing the yum-security stuff at this end and still have a
few issues to work out ( mostly involves reading AUP's and TC's from
various places to make sure the metadata being consumed does not violate
anything )

Hope this helps,

Akemi

As someone else just pointed out, current release is 5.8. For that matter,
and I'm just pulling this vaguely out of my memory, .el5 with no
sub-numbers suggests to me that this has *never* been updated since the
install/update to the initial 5.5. This is *NOT* a good idea. There have
been many security fixes since then.

The yum security plugin does not currently, nor has it ever, worked on
CentOS.

It is designed to work with RHN and RHEL and we have not been able to
make it work on CentOS.

Re: [CentOS] yum --security not detecting security updates

2012-12-18 Thread Abel Lopez
A long long time ago, in a previous vocation, I had all my CentOS boxes talking 
to a Spacewalk server. I had a script (which may or may not still work) that 
would take CentOS-Annouce digest and create Errata out of them. I could then 
use that in my server groups as a Security Patches Only sort of deployment.

[CentOS] Yum Segfaulting

2012-12-18 Thread Ken Smith
Hi All, I have a Centos 5.8 system with relatively little memory, that 
runs in rl3, where yum has decided not to work any more. As follows:-


# free
  total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:774628 697516  77112  0  77720 313284
-/+ buffers/cache: 306512 468116
Swap:  20482761602048116

# yum -v
Segmentation fault

# uname -a
Linux **.**.co.uk 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 17:08:10 EDT 2012 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

I checked with rpm -V yum that its installed OK. Rebuilt the rpm 
database. Cut yum.repos.d down to just Centos-Base. I've manually 
cleared its cache. I've stopped most other processing to get the free 
memory to around 300K and yum still segfaults. I don't really feel like 
managing this system with just rpm :-(

Any ideas where to look - I'm a bit stumped.

Thanks

Ken

[CentOS] off-topic: firefox noscript

2012-12-18 Thread m . roth
Not a biggie, but definitely annoying: I try to register for a media site,
so I can put in a comment, and every time I hit register, noscript pops
up telling me it's protecting me from cross-site scripting... and if it's
giving me any way to say, that's ok for this site, I don't see it. I've
tried typing in a pattern for xss, and no joy.

Clues for the annoyed?

Well, I managed to do it... by unchecking both check boxes in
options-xss, doing the sign-up, then resetting them. You'd think that
there'd be an allow option for the script, just as there is for flash

On both the faulty system and a good one, yum appears to hunt for

Anyone with more knowledge that I have of system calls, is there a clue 
in here?

You could try flushing the file system cache:

  echo 3  /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

(or reboot) and try again ?

I too use Squirrelmail, but found myself thinking more and more
frequently in the last months to find an alternative, for the same
reasons as Digimer.

To Digimer: does RC include:

- possibility to select all unread messages and/or all the messages of
  a specific thread with one click?

- what about its calendar module? Do you use it? If yes, how does it
  work?

To the list: what about Sogo

Is it slower/more complicated to install... any comment is appreciated!
