That should automatically start your ssh-agent for your X session. Then from a term you can run something like this: #!/bin/sh if ! ps -P $SSH_AGENT_PID ; then echo need to run ssh-agent exit 0 fi if ssh-add -l| egrep -i dsa|rsa ; then echo keys there else echo need to add .keys ssh-add /path/to/id_dsa fi -- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: MySQL Clustering; Load balancing is not working.
On Thu, 19 Feb 2009, Stackpole, Chris wrote: I wanted to learn more about MySQL clustering so I looked around and found this guide [1]. It was the newest guide I found (8 months old), so I decided to give it a shot. I went through the guide with a little deviation and I end up with mostly the same results as the author. Data written to one node, shows up real quick on the other node. The management interface all gives the same results as the author too. However, the big problem (and reason for my post) is the virtual IP for the load balancing doesn't work right. When I try connect to the virtual IP: $ mysql -h 10.0.1.10 -u ldirector -p Enter password: It will sit here for a really long time before giving: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.1.10' (111) For most of this, you don't need to follow the instructions there to a tee, where ever possible I just use what ever is in apt, most of it version agnostic. The real important thing, it just the methods. Step 2) Author uses MySQL 5.1.24 compiled from source. I used apt (I am not afraid to compile but I didn't because apt is awesome :). $ apt-cache show mysql-server | grep -i version Version: 5.0.51a-24 Well, I guess I can see the versioning being a problem. Maybe I should update and compile a newer version. ?? Step 6.1) For whatever reason, I can't update the GPG key for ultramonkey, but I just hit y to install anyway on apt. Also, he installs libdbd-mysql-perl from a download he gives from CPAN. I had errors with his commands. Turns out you have to install libmysqlclient15-dev (not 14) and you have to install make too! Then his link to the DBD-mysql-3.0002.tar.gz didn't work for me. However, the link to the newest (I believe) DBD-mysql-3.0008.tar.gz, _did_ work. So I installed that one. So again, versioning issues? From what I remember, ultramonkey is kind of dead. All you really need to install is ldirectord for the load balancing and heartbeat for failover, both of which are in debians repositories. So, I would just uninstall everything you installed from ultramonkey, remove them from your sources list and just install heartbeat and ldirector debians rep. for the DBD-mysql, you can just install libdbd-mysql-perl, that will provide what you need. Step 6.2 - 7) Everything works exactly as the author suggests it should, /except/ for the last line of: `mysql -h 10.0.1.10 -u ldirector -p` As stated before, this fails. I can ping 10.0.1.10. I can even ssh into 10.0.1.10. They both redirect me to the (current) primary load balancer. If I turn off the primary, I go to the secondary. Also, if I run `ipvsadm -L -n` I can see the connections show up, even though they time out. So I don't think it is the virtual part. I think it is the redirection to the MySQL session. The only thing I have found in the log files that doesn't look right, is every once in a while this line is put into the /var/log/ldirectord.log: Exiting with exit_status 2: configu_error: Configuration Error The thing is, from everything I can find, it is correct.

Re: How to see the output of a custom init script on Lenny?

Hello,
I have written a simplistic custom init script that makes a backup of my
entire system using `rsync -vv`. I have symlinked this script as
/etc/rc0.d/K00backup and /etc/rc6.d/K00backup so that the backup occurs
whenever I reboot or shut down.
When I was using Etch I would see the output of rsync when I shut down
my system. Now with Lenny I don;t see the output anymore. From what
Google tells me this is because under Lenny the init scripts should use
the lsb functions to output and that all normal output is now hidden.
Making a backup of my system takes some time, hence my use of -vv and
--progress on rsync so I can see how far it is. I would like to see that
output when I shut down my system. There does not appear to be an lsb
init function that I can simply pipe the output of rsync to.

Re: Xen in Etch, basic setup
On Thu, 3 Apr 2008, Steve Lamb wrote: Hello, Does anyone know of a web page that describes a basic setup of Xen in Etch? I've seen several at howtoforge and each of them, while fairly simple, do not match my experience at all. I follow the directions exactly and after a time what those directions say should appear and what actually does appear diverge wildly. On the other end of the spectrum are the pages that the author of Shorewall has put up detailing his experiences with Xen and Shorewall. A fascinating read and one that I'll have to dig into later. But it is no howto nor was it written with that intent. Right now I've got Etch booting into Dom0 just fine. Oddly enough my routing is working fine though I'm not quite sure why. I have one DomU which boots fine but is unable to use the network. When I attempt to bring up a bridge the networking to the outside world on Dom0 fails but local networking still works, DomU can see a network card but cannot connect to Dom0 or the rest of the local network. Furthermore no bridge device shows up in ifconfig. This is where my experience and those of the howtoforge authors seriously diverges. What I would be content with, for now, is having both Dom0/DomU being able to speak to the rest of the local network. With that I could at least work away from the console and flip configurations to where I could pull things off the internet with Dom0 acting as my router and then switch it to where DomU communicates so I can pull things across and continue my work. Ideally I want to have the DomU machine act as the router/FW for my network, hence the interest in the Shorewall/Xen documents. what options do you have in your xend-config.sxp? Do you have bridge-utils installed? some network options I use in my xend-config.sxp are: (network-script network-bridge) (network-script network-dummy) (vif-script vif-bridge) and in my domU configs i have something like this: vif = [ 'ip=10.1.2.94' ] and I also have that same ip in a static config for networking in the domU. hth, Jeff -- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

As a result of this improvement I cannot use a kernel later than 2.6.23 in my laptop. Anthony As of kernel 2.6.24 the driver for the 3945 and 4965 intel wireless cards have been built into the kernel. While I do not have a 3945, I have the 4965. I was building the modules for each kernel. But with linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 on Lenny, I just had to install the debian kernel and it worked for me. Which is great, no more patch, build bhe kernel, build the module routine. But, with a kernel you are rolling yourself, you shouldnt need any other outside packages other than the firmware for the card. Might be something worth while to try out, that is unless there are some other gotchas for your laptop.

You say that using '||' will never work because it will not return true. I presume you mean the '||' used in the cron file? But, according to the the crontab man page, anything after the fifth time column, up to the end of the line, is run by a shell, either /bin/sh or whatever is in the SHELL variable of the crontab file. So, '||' is just as legal as '' and would do just as it does on the command line, assuming of course there is nothing found by the grep. I don't think the problem is the use of the OR or AND operators. Rather it's the presences or absence of the line for the grep itself being found in the ps output.

Looking through this file, the relevant section appears to be this commented part: ## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option ## e.g. memtest86=true ## memtest86=false # memtest86=true The instructions are to not uncomment the section, but just to edit. So would my edit be to add memtest86=true or memtest86=false or would I simply add the line to menu.lst between the two markers that reads: mem=2097152M #2GB RAM The latter is what I understand from the bootparam(7) man-pages, but I'd like to confirm that my understanding is accurate before I commit. Thanks You really shouldn't have to add anything to see 2G of ram. If you aren't I suspect that there is something else going on with your system. What does grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo tell you? At boot, is the BIOS seeing 2G? -- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

phillinux wrote: I'm trying to write a bash shell script to create user accounts that calls 2 functions. I can't call these functions from the script or the command line. The set command seems to show the loaded script in the shell (loaded with . FunctionName at command line) with other environmental variables. ALSO: The type command does not recognize the function. The script and functions work on my laptop running Fedora (with one small glitch). Is there something I can do to my Debian server to get functions recognized?? Are these functions by chance fedora specific? Or are they built into your shell script? How are you loading them into your script?

Re: PAM failure?
Craig Hurley wrote: Hello, When looking at /var/log/auth.log PAM seems to be logging a large amount. For example, every 30 minutes cron runs a script as root. It appears to me that each time the script is run, PAM adds 4 entries to auth.log, recording a the session open and close along with 2 other failures. Here's a snip from auth.log: Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname CRON[31753]: (pam_unix) session opened for user root by (uid=0) Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname pam_limits[31753]: setrlimit limit #11 to soft=-1, hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=0 euid=0 Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname pam_limits[31753]: setrlimit limit #12 to soft=-1, hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=0 euid=0 Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname CRON[31753]: (pam_unix) session closed for user root Does anyone know why PAM fails twice every time a script is run from cron?

Have you tried to use dd to create a file larger than this? I'm going to guess what you are seeing here is file size limit of the application you are using rather than ext3.

Re: mySQL and 'testing'

Everything seemed to go ok until I went to log in to mySQL. and it cant find the socket. I tried to update the files using the mysql-client and mysql-server, and although the client ran OK the server complains about an unspecified dependency error and a corrupt server file. Has anyone else come across this, or should I start panicking now? Thanks Ian Are the errors with the server reported through synaptic or when you try to start the server? Have you tried to resolve the dependancies with synaptic? And could you also post the error messages you get? Thx, Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
