[CentOS] Newbie ADSL configuration, ppp0 can't activate & config not found
I am frustrated. This is a dual boot box, Win XP (Spanish) and CentOS 4.4. The phone company man came today and installed ADSL to the WinXP side and that works fine. I can't get the box online, while in CentOS 4.4. The ADSL router has a fixed IP address (192.168.1.1) and he configured it to get the IP from the ISP via DHCP and get the DNS servers automatically. When I try that on CentOS (which is what I use 99% of the time), it doesn't connect. In the Network Configuration for eth0, things seem OK, but the configuration for xDSL, ppp0, probably needs something I do not have in it and it won't activate. Questions: (a) should I have network configurations for both eth0 and ppp0? I've tried it with both and only with ppp0. (b) is there a possibility that the NIC, which is integrated onto the motherboard and has always worked fine on our home LAN, as eth0, won't work properly as ppp0? If so, should I disable it and install a NIC in the box? I've looked in the RHEL Step by Step Guide for RHEL 4 and Systems Administrators Guides, but they don't seem to cover this issue. Any links to a step by step how to, to do something I believe is simple, but, where I'm missing something, will be greatly appreciated!

The router could be connecting to the WAN via a piece of wet string, as far as you care. So you should just have eth0 do DHCP and leave it connected to the router. You'll get an address like 192.168.1.2 from the router. You don't need ppp0 at all; to Centos the router appears like a LAN that routes to the Internet. In Windows, do "ipconfig" in a Command window, and you'll see what I mean. You should see something similar with ifconfig in Centos. Dan: Thank you for replying! I will try what you suggested, ASAP.

I think there may be a Linux distribution for ham radio, but my memory is very weak on that. Search on distro watch and maybe check out the ARRL web site and google and yahoo. There is (or was) something for PSK31, I think it was called KPSK or something, that I looked into several years ago. Maybe it's on the KDE web site. I believe there is a Linux kernel option, to enable stuff for packet or something.

Re: [CentOS] No buffer space available - loses network connectivity
I haven't worked with xen in a few months, but I'd highly suggest looking at the xen host server itself instead of the vps. Setup some sort of monitoring on the VPS, coordinate the time it looses internet connection to the host server logs, maybe it'll provide some insight. Unless, its this VPS. Was this built off of XEN's templates or a P2V system?

[CentOS] Overwrite target of ln
Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected. -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

[CentOS] "Site down for maintenance" - How is this accomplished?
Hello everyone, Although we use CentOS primarily on our servers, this query is actually more of a general networking question than something specific to CentOS. In the next week or so, we shall be migrating our in-house servers to a data center. While we're doing that, we'd like to show a "Site down for maintenance" message while the servers that hosts our websites (we have around 15 sites hosted btw), are down. So, how is this accomplished? While I can probably hack something on our name servers, I'm sure there are people on this list that have been doing this and could give some recommendations as to the best practices for this type of task. Thanks in advance, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end.

Thanks for the interesting insights everyone. I'll definitely look at your suggestions. And yes, the data center is off-site so that means the servers will be on a different network.

[CentOS] Getting info on hardware RAID
Hello everyone, I'm doing an audit of all our servers here (there aren't that many maybe around 5-10) and one of the things I'm doing is taking note of each server's hardware specs (processor, memory, etc). I can't seem to figure out how to get the information for the hard drives. The drives are in a hardware RAID5 array and are all SCSI types. I would like to get each physical SCSI drive's specifications (like, disk capacity). Also, we have another server that also uses Hardware RAID and there's a RAID5 and a RAID1 array in there and I would also like to get as much information as I have on them. How do I get this information from the console? Is this possible? I don't have physical access to the servers and can only log in remotely. Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

[CentOS] TFTP server not working as expected when run from xinetd
Hi All, I have a Trixbox server (CentOS derivative) from which our Cisco IP phones get their config files via TFTP. I have noticed that when I run the TFTP server via "service xinetd start", I am not able to get files via TFTP. I have tested it by doing a manual transfer via a TFTP client from another machine. When I try to run the TFTP service manually by doing "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l", I do not encounter any problem whatsoever? Any pointers regarding this issue? Do I have to enable anything else? Thanks. -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end.

Hi Guys,
Yup. That line is the guilty one.
I have removed the arguments by setting server_args to none and
restarted the service. Then I tested it by doing a transfer and it's
working already.
Thanks guys! :)

[CentOS] African IP addresses list
Hi all, I am trying to block all IP addresses from Africa due to a high rate of fraudulent orders coming from them. I have some found some websites that can generate a range of IP addresses. However, you would have to enter the ranges by country. I can use those perhaps but that would mean I would have to get the ranges for each country one by one. Has anyone here a list of addresses from Africa already? It would definitely be a time saver for me. My firewall uses IP blocking by CIDR. Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

[CentOS] Run GNU screen as a normal user
Hi guys, I am currently looking for a workaround with regards to running screen as a normal user. When I try to run it, I get the following: [mbalu...@mla torrents]$ screen Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. To get around this, I had to chmod 777 /dev/pts/0. It's an insecure hack so I'm looking for the right way of doing it. Would anyone be able to guide me as to how I can run screen the way normal users should run it? This behavior just seemed to happen with CentOS 5.3. I remember not running into such issues on an older CentOS/screen version. Thanks in advance, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

Re: [CentOS] Run GNU screen as a normal user
OK. Got it figured out. It seemed that it didn't work because I was su'ing to that normal user when I originally logged in as root. Apparently, you can only use screen (at least without any workaround) when you log in as the user you want to run it on. On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 2:29 AM, Matt Arnilo S.

[CentOS] Using yum with CentOS-2 mirrors
Hi all, I was having yum errors while updating our CentOS-2 box. Further reading lead me to a readme file on the mirrors (http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/readme.txt) and it gave me the new URL to use for CentOS-2 mirrors.

The primary reason for our need to have the CentOS-2 mirrors is for automated installation of packages if needed rather than getting the latest package updates. Also, as we have already put the system into production, it would be best for us to make do with what's in there already. Regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.
