Bug#608272: puppet-common: Please add a logcheck ignore line for executed successfully

2010-12-29 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: puppet-common
Version: 2.6.2-3
Severity: wishlist


First, thanks for maintaining Puppet, its appreciated.

Please add the following line to /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/puppet-common

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ puppet-agent\[[0-9]+\]: .* executed 
successfully$

The rationale is:
1) executed successfully is (spammy) good news
2) logcheck is intended to filter out good news, especially spammy good news.
3) Therefore filter out executed successfully lines

Thanks!

Bug#608282: Please fracture /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node

2010-12-29 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: munin-node
Version: 1.4.5-3
Severity: wishlist


Thanks for maintaining munin, its appreciated and useful.

Please fracture /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
into one config file for each component.

This would make upgrades a little cleaner.

For example, I always modify:
[df*]
env.exclude none unknown iso9660 squashfs udf romfs ramfs debugfs
env.warning 92
env.critical 98
to the following:
[df*]
env.exclude none unknown iso9660 squashfs udf romfs ramfs debugfs udev tmpfs
env.warning 92
env.critical 98

As the lack of the relatively nonuseful udev and tmpfs make the graph 
look better.  (Also modifying the default for df might be a good idea
in general... do people really monitor the size of their udev?)

If that lived in a separate file, then upgrades to hddtemp2 or whatever
would not require modification of the df file.

Ideally, in my opinion, a default config installation should have a
completely empty /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d directory... that directory
should only contain locally configured overrides not package defaults
plus local overrides.

 This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail. Possible
 solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common
 file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one
 package and have this package depend on the other package. File
 diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility.
 
 Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages
 (according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be
 slightly out of sync):
 
   usr/bin/s3
 

OK my interpretation of the situation, is you afflib guys really need 
the name s3 because that is the full name of the amazon s3 service
you're trying to access, and the simh s3 is merely the short name for 
the System/3 emulator.

afflib folks please confirm or deny the accuracy of my interpretation.

If I'm correct I think the logical solution is I extend the name of the 
System/3 emulator from s3 to system3 (err I have to verify that is not
otherwise in use... maybe I'll go sys3, who knows)

Current status, waiting on your comments, afflib folks ...

 How do you expect ntpq to connect to localhost when you didn't

 localhost is the default.

OK maybe my bug report was not so well written.  Sorry about that.

If ntpd can not be contacted by ntpq, perhaps because of /etc/init.d/ntp 
stop then you get the following error from ntpq when it can not reach 
ntpd:
ntpq: read: Connection refused

I am familiar with that error message.

On the other hand, if ntpd is up and running perfectly, but interface lo is 
down, such as ifdown lo, then you get the following error from ntpq when
it can not reach ntpd:
localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out.

That's odd...  It would seem more intuitive if both failures to contact 
ntpd errored out the same way.  Why two different error messages for the 
same situation of ntpq cannot contact ntpd, depending on which ip 
interfaces happen to be up or down?

 And I'm pretty sure that there are alot of things that break
 if you do not have localhost configured. 

Oh, you might be surprised if it happened to you, in my semi-embedded 
nfs-root situation, due to a misconfiguration removing lo, all that 
failed was NFS statd would hang on startup with no error or log, portmap 
would not shutdown cleanly (although that happens late in shutdown, and 
who ever notices that on an embedded machine) and ntpq gave that unusual
response when unable to talk to ntpd.

We can agree, if you'd like, that I'll work beginning from the point that 
almost nothing fails without a localhost, and you can work beginning from 
the point that alot of things break, but that all doesn't really change 
anything in this particular package.

It's only a wishlist bug because I agree it's not the end of the world.

Anyway, thanks for your work on ntp, and have a nice day.

Bug#513619: portmap: Please check for a loopback interface

2009-01-30 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: portmap
Version: 6.0-9
Severity: wishlist

One problem that can occur with NFS / portmap is a lack of a loopback 
interface.

If there is no loopback interface, almost everything on a typical server
works except for boot up hanging at starting statd, shutdown hanging at
stopping portmap, and during operation running ntpq will fail to connect
to a running NTP.  (obviously NTP isn't your thing, but its the only other
symptom of a missing loopback that I could find)

Some examples of problems relating to a lack of a loopback address:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348373

Some more detail, of possible usefulness, available in my blog post at

http://vincemulhollon.blogspot.com/2009/01/debian-nfs-root-interface-configuration.html

Maybe an active check would be too intrusive, perhaps something a bit 
more passive like grep the output of ifconfig to see if there is a Loopback
and if none, then echo out an error at the start of the init.d scripts.

Bug#513620: ntp: Please check for a loopback interface

2009-01-30 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-8
Severity: wishlist

If you do not have a loopback interface configured then ntp will work and
sync your time, but ntpq will error out and fail to connect to the running
ntp server.

The only other common symptom of a missing loopback that I could find 
was that portmap / statd blows up (assuming you even have that installed
to run NFS).  NFS isn't your thing, I'm just including it to show that
ntpq is one of the few things that won't work without a loopback and 
nothing in Debian provides any error.

Maybe something as simple as in the start of the init.d script, grep the 
output of ifconfig for a Loopback and if none found, echo some comment 
about ntpq will not work until you add a loopback interface.

Some extra commentary at this blog post

http://vincemulhollon.blogspot.com/2009/01/debian-nfs-root-interface-configuration.html

Its easier than you would expect to end up with no configured loopback on 
a NFS-root mounted diskless workstation.

Bug#513623: munin-node: Munin-node will not start if /var/log/munin directory does not exist

2009-01-30 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.6-8
Severity: wishlist

Thanks for maintaining munin.

munin-node will fail to start at boot up if the directory /var/log/munin 
does not exist, as typically seen in a nfs-root configuration.

The standard nfs-root as provided by the nfsbooted package has a file 
/etc/nfsbooted/fstab which adds the following line to /etc/fstab

/dev/ram5 /var/log ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev 0 0

The idea is to store logs locally for speed instead of flowing over
nfs-root.

But munin-node reacts poorly to its log directory /var/log/munin being 
deleted every boot, and will not start until the directory is manually
made, and then /etc/init.d/munin-node start.

There are workarounds from the direction of not logging to a fresh 
ramdisk every boot.  But, it might be nice if munin-node were a bit less
brittle about it's directory being deleted upon startup, maybe creating
it again if it got deleted.  For that matter, maybe munin-node could
just log into /var/log, instead of /var/log/munin ?

Bug#486842: modemu: Correction to QuickStart file

2008-06-18 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: modemu
Version: 0.0.1-10
Severity: normal

Thanks for maintaining modemu as it has come in handy for me in some
weird, yet fun, situations.

Anyway, in the file /usr/share/doc/modemu/QuickStart

Please change the line from

   modemu -e AT%B0=1%B1=1W -c minicom -p tty%s

To

   modemu -e AT%B0=1%B1=1W -c minicom -p %s

Otherwise on a modern system running unstable you get an error like this

minicom: cannot open /dev/tty/dev/pts/5: Not a directory
Comm program exited.

You see, in the old days, %s would return only the pty number hence the 
need for a prefix like tty.  But now %s returns something like
/dev/pts/5, the full file name, which passes to minicom as tty/dev/pts/5 
whom reinterprets devices without a leading / as begining with /dev, 
resulting in /dev/tty/dev/pts/5 which just isn't going to work.

Not having a copy of xc I have no way to verify this, but I'm
guessing that /usr/share/doc/modemu/README also needs to change from

   modemu -c xc -l tty%s

To

   modemu -c xc -l %s

Anyway please have a pleasant day.

Bug#331236: rt3.4-apache2: Please include apache2-fastcgi.conf

2005-10-02 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: rt3.4-apache2
Severity: important

Hello,

First, thank you for maintaining RT, it is appreciated.

Please include etc/request-tracker3.4/apache-fastcgi.conf from rt3.4-apache
into rt3.4-apache2

I think all you need to do is copy debian/conf/apache-fastcgi.conf to
debian/conf/apache2-fastcgi.conf and then edit line 20 to comment it out
as seen here:
#FastCgiIpcDir /var/run/fastcgi

If you do that, then fastcgi works great with apache2, with only one
minor problem, I had manually configured my apache to look for
apache-fastcgi.conf which is now named apache2-fastcgi.conf, probably
worth a notice in the changelog and in /usr/share/doc/request-tracker3.4
that the file name has changed to a more logical name.

I have a wishlist bug under request-tracker3.4 detailing my experiences
running RT using fastcgi under apache2, which might be worth reviewing 
while considering this bug, it is bug 327064

Bug#326958: syslog

2005-10-02 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Hello,

Sorry for not responding sooner, I didn't get the email from the BTS.
Cut and paste from bugs.debian.org:

This strongly suggests to me that you are using a locally
compiled/installed version of Perl and not the one shipped as part of
Debian (that would be in /usr/lib/perl and /usr/share/perl). With this
in mind I am not sure I am going to be able to help you very much as
the problem could just as easily be in the perl as in my
request-tracker3.4 package.

I recommend you run request-tracker3.4 (and all Debian perl packages
for that matter) with the version of perl shipped with Debian and see
if that fixes your problems. If nothing else this will provide an
upgrade from the 5.8.2 version you are using to the 5.8.7 which comes
with testing/etch. We do depend on a version of perl (= 5.8.3) for a
good reason, ignoring dependency lists is going to result in all sorts
of trouble for you.

History of the box is installed from stable CDroms, then upgraded to 
testing.  The error is from liblog-dispatch-perl.  Heres all my
/var/log/dpkg.log lines for perl, liblog, and rt:
2005-08-09 13:33:43 install perl none 5.8.7-3
2005-09-06 15:20:08 install liblog-dispatch-perl none 2.10-1
2005-09-06 15:20:09 install request-tracker3.4 none 3.4.2-4
2005-10-02 08:37:22 upgrade request-tracker3.4 3.4.2-4 3.4.4-1

The box lives behind a firewall with no inward access only outbound thru
a proxy/cache to port 80, so its unlikely it was rooted.

Its a fresh testing box never used for development doesn't even have a 
compiler installed...  Nothing in /opt etc.  Which I agree makes a weird
error message.

I looked at:
http://search.cpan.org/src/DROLSKY/Log-Dispatch-2.11/Changes
And found:
2.10 Feb 11, 2004
- Fix a doc bug in Log::Dispatch::Syslog.  It defaults to using a unix
socket, not an inet socket.

The problem in the past seemed to be RT was trying to connect via the unix
socket thus I had to force it to the default inet socket, although
upstream claims it was only a documentation change.  Also the same 
version of liblog-dispatch-perl is in stable, testing, and unstable.

Today I changed /etc/request-tracker3.4/RT_SiteConfig.pm back to
@LogToSyslogConf = () unless (@LogToSyslogConf);
restarted, and don't get the old error.

However this was after I upgraded today per /var/log/dpkg.log
2005-10-02 08:37:22 upgrade request-tracker3.4 3.4.2-4 3.4.4-1

I guess file this as unreproducible..

Bug#327064: request-tracker3.4: HOWTO apache2 fastcgi

2005-09-07 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: request-tracker3.4
Severity: wishlist

Here is a collection of notes regarding the installation of rt3.4 on
apache2 using fastcgi, mysql, and testing distribution.  

With some editing, this might be a useful addition to the rt3.4 package 
for your next upload.  Maybe call it apache2-fastcgi.howto.txt

- apt-get install request-tracker3.4 will pull in a bunch of apache1 
dependancies, no negative effects seen against my apache2 install.

- Install the missing dependancies:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi libcgi-fast-perl

- enable the fastcgi module in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/fastcgi* .

- In /etc/request-tracker3.4/apache-fastcgi.conf comment out this line
#FastCgiIpcDir /var/run/fastcgi

- chmod a+r /etc/request-tracker3.4/RT_SiteConfig.pm
(Would recomment further contemplation of this, if done on an externally
accessible production internet server instead of a intranet or test server)
Note this lets anyone who and log in, read the mysql uname/pword,
which may or may not be a problem depending on individual situation.

- Add file /etc/apache2/conf.d/rt

- To fix the strange syslog bug, add these two lines to 
/etc/request-tracker3.4/RT_SiteConfig.pm 
# Mod for recent Debian syslog
@LogToSyslogConf = ( socket = 'inet' ) unless (@LogToSyslogConf);

- Restart apache2 and it should work!

Bug#326958: request-tracker3.4: no connection to syslog available at /opt/machine/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/Log/Dispatch/Syslog.pm line 77

2005-09-06 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: request-tracker3.4
Severity: normal

Hello,

First, thank you for maintaining RT.

On my recently updated testing box I get the following error at my initial
login. I get the login page, then type in the root password, and it fails 
with this error, when RT is trying to log my successful login attempt:

no connection to syslog available at
/opt/machine/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/Log/Dispatch/Syslog.pm line 77

I checked out the RT Wiki at:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?NoConnectionToSyslog

And all I needed to do was add the following line to
/etc/request-tracker3.4/RT_SiteConfig.pm

@LogToSyslogConf = ( socket = 'inet' ) unless (@LogToSyslogConf);

From what I see on the RT wiki, they are not certain where the bug is
located, if it's theirs or ours.

Perhaps for now, you could modify the docs to mention this, and add 
the provided line, commented out, in RT_SiteConfig.pm

Thanks!

Bug#311404: O: ts10 -- Emulators for various old computers

2005-05-31 Thread Vince Mulhollon
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the ts10 package.

The package description is:
 This package contains emulators for the following computers:
 TI-99/4
 DEC PDP-10
 DEC PDP-11
 DEC VAX
 It is considered alpha code but is highly usable.
