RE: Dealing with Power Outage: How to Shutdown cleanly

[Chris Mason]

Reuben 
This is an area I have a lot of experience in. We have terrible power on the
island and I run a few servers in different buildings around here.

I am guessing that you are using 500-750 VA stand alone UPS units. My first
move woud be to dump those as they are more trouble than they are worth. Get
a 4-6 KVA unit with enough capacity to power your machines through the worst
outage you can reasonably expect. Then get a power monitoring system that
will send you an alert when the power goes out for more than, say, 20
minutes.

Keep it simple and stay away from fancy stuff, get simple and reliable stuff
with the ability to expand the battery capacity cheaply. Sealed 12v UPS
batteries are excellent with a 5 year life expectancy. Avoid a UPS with
little panasonic 12V batteries.

Redhat 9 terminal problems

[Chris Mason]

On my Redhat 9 systems, when I ssh to the system using SecureCRT, I get
problems with programs such as ntsysv and lokkit, I think they use ncurses.
When the program would normally draw lines, I get 

”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â

I've tried every terminal emulation I have available but nothing works.
What's going on?

RE: Is there a way for Samba to authenticate via PAM?

[Chris Mason]

The other thing I do is to use a script to give all new users the same unix
and smb password, then at first use of the windows computer, they change the
password which changes both the unix and windows password.

RE: Is there a way for Samba to authenticate via PAM?

[Chris Mason]

There is two passwords, and LDAP is tough to setup.

Try this, it's the other way but still only one password:

RE: Is there a way for Samba to authenticate via PAM?

You can use LDAP. I've done this and it works very well. There's still a NT
and unix apssword, but it's all in one database.

Looking for Server hardware advice

[Chris Mason]

I need to build a rack mount redhat server for our office, looking for
advice on a good source of inexpensive barebones servers. I find that the
moment you mention rack mount the prices triple, I'm not looking for any
server management software or anything, just reliable components in a rack
mount case.

I do want to do RAID5 for reliability, the server will be used as an MP3
server and it has to be reliable in terms of data storage, hate to have to
rip all that music again :-)

If anyone has had a good experience with an inexpensive server supplier,
please give me a link.

RE: Anti Vrus for Linux mail server

[Chris Mason]

My big success in server admin over the last month has been solving this
perenial problem. We were getting so much spam and now so many SoBig virii
that it wa becoming a huge problem at three sites I am involved in.

This is what I did, it's free and works perfectly.


***

Install ClamAV - You don't need Sophos, OpenVirus is excellent and free.
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/testing/7.3/postfix2/clamav/

Install Spamassassin
http://useast.spamassassin.org/released/RPMs/

Remove the cron jobs that run and update spamassassin and freshclam,
MailScanner does this anyway and more frequently
Do not customize spamassasin or clamav, MailScanner only uses the binaries
and libraries, ignores the configs

Install MailScanner fromn RPM - run install.sh
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/4/rpm/MailScanner-4.22-5.rp
m.tar.gz

Guide:
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/linux.shtml


Enable Virus Scanning in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

Make sure you have disabled sendmail as MailScanner starts it in a wrapper.

Should work beautifully. Watch the logs, check the virus databases are
gettting updated hourly, make sure mail is being scanned.

I also installed f-prot worstation (free) and enabled in MailScanner, it
will use it to scan the mail also, if you are really paranoid.

RE: Automating ripping

[Chris Mason]

Since there will be no monitor there's no point running X. As there will be
no logge din user, I don't think grip would be useful.
Someone has a script to run abcde as a daemon, I hope that will work.

Automating ripping

[Chris Mason]

As part of a music server I am building, I need to be able to rip CDs
automatically. The staff will put in a CD of music and the server will sense
it and rip to a predetermined folder using cddb for information.

Has anyone done this or can you give me some idea on how to do it?

RE: Does Adaptec 1200A RAID work ?

[Chris Mason]

There's no linux drivers for this model, get the 2400 instead which works
great.

User cannot login

[Chris Mason]

I admin several Redhat servers, and on one of them, after I ran up2date and
brought it up to date, my own username, masonc, could not login. When I ssh
to the box using public key authentication, I get:

id: cannot find name for user ID 503
id: cannot find name for user ID 503
[I have no [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]$ 

I cannot su to the user from root.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] masonc]# su masonc
could not open session


However, the user exists:
Mar 16 07:58:02 server3 sshd(pam_unix)[3385]: session opened for user masonc
by (uid=0)

And there is an entry in /etc/passwd

The user worked fine before I rebooted. Any idea what is wrong?

RE: Linux Desktops

[Chris Mason]

Just did this for a public computer in a hotel. What you have to do is
install KDE 3.1, which is not released by Redhat yet. There is a KDE on
Redhat http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net project that has RH8 KDE 3.1 RPMs.

KDE 3.1 supports Kiosk mode where you can lock down every application. Read
the Kiosk HOWTO at http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/index.html

Also, http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-11/kde_01.html will help.
Please let me know how you get on,

Chris

Chris-

What do you mean by remotely upgrade?  Is the box in a remote location with
little or no technical help on site? Or, do you want to upgrade from a
distribution tree in a remote location> Or, what?

FWIF I have blown new versions onto machines via kickstart that required no
human intervention. but there is a fair bit of prep work to do and probably
not worth it for a single machine.

Give us more detail on what you are wanting/needing to do.

RE: Mail is refused due to domain

[Chris Mason]

Thanks, Steve, hopefully that will work. 
Short of using a smarthost, which I can do, how do other people configure
mailservers so that they deliver internal mail internally and can relay to
external MTA's also?
I know most mail servers are not so anal about reverse lookups, so my setup
will generally work, but I want to have it perfect if possible.

Masquerading an e-mail envelope vs. the EHLO negotiation between the MTA's
are two different things. Sendmail (like most mta's) is going to make a call
to the resolver libs to determine the FQDN (canonical domain name) of the
host its running on at startup. It's this name that is used during the EHLO
negotiation with the remote MTA. IF the masq'd canonical domain name is not
resolvable by the external MTA's resolver libs, then (if configured) the
remote MTA could reject your e-mail.

With the above in mind, try adding the following to your sendmail.mc file.
Change mail.mydomain.com to a resolvable FQDN. i.e. a FQDN that resolves
from an external source.

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `mail.mydomain.com')dnl

RE: Mail is refused due to domain

Of course it can't talk to the nameserver, it's a non-existant domain behind
a firewall.

The question is, why does it want to? Why doesn't the mail server present
itself as a company.ocm as that's the masquerade?

Looks like aol.com is unable to communicate with your name servers; it's 
probably trying a reverse DNS lookup. You'll probably want to cross-check 
your nameserver logs, to see whether or not there's a problem there.

Mail is refused due to domain

[Chris Mason]

Good people of the esteemed Redhat list...

I have a mail server, loki,  for my intranet.
The intranet uses company.home as the network domain.

The mail server has an external IP forwarded by the firewall and receives
mail for the domain company.com

Sometimes, rarely, when a user sends mail external domains, the mail is
refused.

Example:

The original message was received at Wed, 5 Feb 2003 11:33:30 -0400 from
apache@localhost

   - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(reason: 550 REQUESTED ACTION NOT TAKEN: DNS FAILURE)

   - Transcript of session follows -
451 4.4.1 reply: read error from mailin-02.mx.aol.com.
451 4.4.1 reply: read error from mailin-01.mx.aol.com.
 while talking to mailin-03.mx.aol.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

In my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc I have:
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(loki.company.home')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(company.com)dnl

What more do I have to do to prevent this problem?

Re: Fax programs for Redhat 8.0

[Chris Mason]

I have hylafax working on a redhat server in the back room, receives very reliably.
I also use a program on my windows machine that takes a postscript print output and 
pipes it to hylafax.
It's not as smooth as Winfax but it works fine, and the server is much more stable.
Reporting is excellent so it works great in a workgroup environtment.

Subject: linksys wpc11 + wep


I have a linksys wpc11 pcmcia card in my laptop (redhat 8.0 all the
latest 
updates)
using the intersil prism2 driver it works fine as long as I don't try to

turn on wep,
with WEP enabled on the access point (a linksys wap11) I can no longer 
connect to anything, I have tried with both 128 and 64 bit encryption, I

have checked the keys 4 and 5 times, tried changing the keys, nothing 
works.. using this same card in windows it works fine with wep turned
on, 
and my powerbook and ibook both with airport cards work just fine also
with 
this setup so I'm pretty sure its not the AP, but possibly the prism 
driver?? Does it not know how to properly encrypt the data its sending?
Did 
the driver developers develop straight to the WEP standard, and linksys
not 
use the standard quite so strictly (of course this wouldn't explain
apple's 
hardware/software being able to work flawlessly would it)?  Is this a
known 
issue?  I don't want to leave my ap open, (not that wep is any great 
security, but it's better than nothing!!), let me know.

RE: Wireless EtherNet cards...

[Chris Mason]

I find that the USB adapters are better all round. If you can get the
Linksys WUSB version 2.5 they are a snap to install, not so with the
2.6.
The signal strength is better and they are easier to work with than
pcmcia and pci.

Subject: Wireless EtherNet cards...


I recently setup a wireless network in my home.  I purchased a linksys
router(BEFW11S4) and
several linksys PCI (Version 2.7 WMP11) ethernet cards.   

Much to my regret... The 2.7 version is not supported (uses the
BROADCOMM chips) while the earlier 2.6 was supported (used the PRISM
chipset).

For two of the three linksys cards that is no problem (my son and
daughter use win 98SE and Win XP).  For me, that is a problem, I use Win
98SE and RH 6.2 and 8.0...

I wanted to get the networking going on the Linux side, but so far have
had zero results finding
any support from linksys or Broadcomm.   The Win 98SE side is working,
but my desire is to
get linux talking to the net...

I had orignally used a modem and PPP and had linux on the net, but now
am trying to switch over to the cable modem...

Question 1:  Does anyone know of a PCI wireless ethernet card that is
supported?  All I find are PCMCIA adapters which would mean buying 2
cards.  I am looking for something like the linksys WMP11 equivalent...
This is for a desktop, not a laptop!

Question 2: What would you suggest for a wireless network?

Question 3: Are there any programs that will read the wireless signal
stregth, and other info like under win 98?  

Thanks!

RE: Possible: Painless switch of hard drive to new box?

You can use mondo rescue to mirror the drive to CDs, then restore. The
drivers are mostly in the kernel or modules for the kernel so unless you

I've got hundred of hours invested into my redhat 7.3 box software 
configuration, but I'd like to move the system to a faster CPU, hard
drive, 
etc.  My problem is that I would like to maintain all the following
during 
the switch:

installed software
software configuration changes
various permissions, links, etc. on files
procmail rules
sendmail configuration
MailScanner modifications
Numerous VNC entries
ntsysv, xinetd settings
log files
user's files
mail spools
kernel, up2date updates
(basically the whole system!)

Does anyone have experience doing this type of thing easily?  I don't 
suppose simply mirroring the hard drive onto the one in a new system
would 
be proper:  the kernel, network card, video card, motherboard, etc.
drivers 
wouldn't be correct!

Couldn't find much on google about this, but I'm sure it's been done!

Any tips or pointers to a howto?

Thanks much!

RE: Personal Server Specification Recommendations

[Chris Mason]

You don't say wheter the server will have internet, a real IP, a static
IP, or what.
I have done what you are doing, I have a box that is on my internal
network, with a gateway that does NAT. I call the network mason.home and
the windows workgroup HOME.

As for the hardware, I would buy a good quality motherboard that is not
one of the cheapie integrated systems. Don't worry about processor
speed, I have a Pentium 600 running our office and we do huge files,
tons of projects, IMAP mail, and it never has a problem.

I have a 20 GB hard drive for the system and 2 x 80 GB IDE drives, one
backups up the other nightly. I would probably go RAID now but this was
an add on so I didn't.
The most important issues if you are building a Linux server for your
home office use is data safety and reliability. Speed is largely
irrelevant as you can't put any real load on it. Use good quality Linux
compatible hardware that had drivers in the kernel and you won't waste a
ton of time getting things to work.

If you have any samba issue email me, I've been through it all.

RE: Webmin

[Chris Mason]

Further to this thought on security, I would not even do it that way as
root.
I would only allow connections to webmin from 127.0.0.1, and I would use
an ssh session with port 80 forwarded to port 80 on your workstation,
therefore encrypting all traffic between the user and the server.

I think that's a more secure way to work. I use ssh PF for mysql,
webmin, and X based stuff, has some other neat features such as getting
through firewalls.

The best client I have found for windows is SecureCRT, an awesome app.

Great program as everyone else has said.  I just want to mention that
passwords are sent in the clear unless you install the ssl stuff very
easy to do and worth it to enable secure remote administration.

Probably apparrent to everyone but I thought I would mention it since no

RE: Network file transfers

[Chris Mason]

Try rsync, that way you only transfer what is not on the backup machine
and it will resume in the case of an interruption without having to
start from scratch. You can run an rsync daemon and avoid the encryption
overhead in a trusted environment, or run it over ssh for security.

I have a server that has a tape drive in it, and I'd like to pull

tar/gzip
all the necessary data from these other servers, once done, transfer
them to
the backup server and then have a nightly backup script dump everything
to
tape  (this will happen over the course of about two hours, with the
actual
backup starting at the end of those two hours.)

My question is, how to get the data from all these servers onto the
backup
one.  Do I want to use scp for that?  My experience has shown me that
scp takes
about 3 times longer to transfer a file than ftp, or rcp.  Should I just
use
rcp for this?  Or do people write ftp scripts to get information across?
I
don't want to setup anything onto these other servers (like Amanda

whatever), I need to use what's there, and not add more stuff - these
are all
stripped down, dedicated machines.

port and act as a land line which connects to the other offices server,
that converts VoIP into POTS that would be connected to analog phone. I

RE: uptime

[Chris Mason]

Correct, yes, good, no.
When a public webserver is running above 100% it doesn't take much to
send it into downward spiral with runaway load. The server stops serving
but the number of requests keep coming, and so the load increases and
increases. It can take hours to recover. We have this problem a lot and
have to look at splitting up the server's load to cope.
If you are running a lot of databased sites and are seeing loads often
above 100%, you need to increase your capacity or you will have
reliability problems. Our biggest problem is over-active spiders who
want to load pages as fast as you can serve them.

FDrom the man page:

uptime  gives  a one line display of the following information.
The current time, how long the system has been running, how many users
are currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1,
5, and 15 minutes.

so from your output you had a utilization of 128% for the past 1 minute,
109 % for the last five, abd 106 % for the last 15 minutes.

Congratulations.  You're getting more out of your system then you should

RE: Newbie Question: Joining an NT Domain?

[Chris Mason]

I have had a lot of practical experience with Linux and MS domains
lately.
The salient points are:
You can access windows shares via samba, put a mount statement in
/etc/mount with the username and password. Create an account on the
domain controller for the Linux user.

DHCP works great, it's a standard, not a Microsoft concoction. You will
get the IP, gateway, nameserver, and other info fomr the DHCP server
which will save a lot of time if you need to reconfigure.

Chris, you're mixing up network terminology here.  "Joining" an NT
domain has nothing to do with utilizing NT based DHCP services.  Joining
a domain is for user and resource authentication and utilization.  You
can set up Samba (http://www.samba.org) to allow your system to share
resources with the NT boxes.  But even with Samba installed and
configured, your system will still not be part of the domain. MS doesn't
play well with others.

You also should not have had to set up a static IP for your Linux box.
It'll pick up all the references and an IP from your DHCP without having
to do that.

I'd like to ask the list for some advice on proxing. We wojld like to
restrict access to the web on our network, allowing certain machines to
have access and others to only be allowed to see the home page/web mail

The server is not the gateway, we have a Linksys router for that.

Thankyou for the feedback.  Would you care to elaborate?  

As we prepare for Samba 2.2.6, we are actively seeking feedback on how
we can improve.  We suffer the same bugs and regressions that all
projects face, and it is only with good feedback that we can hope to
find them all.

> I consider to change to Beeweb although it

Beeweb is a very different product.  It appears that they have created a
windows client-side VFS redirector, and have implemented a file-sharing
protocol on top of that.  Indeed, where they target an internet
environment, Samba does not - SMB/CIFS is completely unsuited to that
task.

It will be interesting to see where Beeweb fits in around WebDAV and
standard HTTP - but they do seem to have an interesting market.  It's
also important to note that they must solve many of the same problems
that Samba does - they just plug in at a different layer.

> BTW how do u uninstall the dirt?? using ./uninstall ???

As Joel mentioned, it very much depends on the installation method.

I don't think PHP supports PAM authentication without patches, how would
you access the authentication system?

Currently..no, but it is in php and already uses md5 passwords it
wouldn't take too much to convert it over to do that.

Trouble ticket system

[Chris Mason]

My services to a client are extending to support and I want to put in a
ticket system to log problems and resolutions, and identify reoccurring
problems with the Redhat server and windows workstations. Does anyone
have recommendations? I've looked at perldesk which looks capable, what
else is worth a look. I would prefer php in case I want to customize.

Have you looked at bugzilla?  Are you going to be sole user or will the
customer be using it as well?  If it's just you, then bugzilla will
probably suffice.

IPSEC: There's no such thing in IPSEC as a client, it's a peer to peer

And there is also ssh above ppp, there is a howto or mini howto for
this.

Re: print to pdf?

[Chris Mason]

Even with a windows client, if the samba print system is cups, I don't
think it ever gets to your script. I tried it that way and it wouldn't
work.

If you are using CUPS, then there's no reason to do anything else. If
not, then samba is the way to go. Your script should work without much
modification as a CUPS backend, so it's not a rewrite or anything.

BTW, I've been reading the kdeprint documentation abut CUPS and it's a
really wonderful system, I'm very impressed.

Re: print to pdf?

[Chris Mason]

I don't think yoare correct. If samba's printing system is cups, samba
never gets the job, and so, cannot run your script.
The solution is very easy, save your script as a cups backend called
called pdf and install it as a printer, as documented in my email.

But I could be wrong...

RE: print to pdf?

[Chris Mason]

I asked on the CUPS list and got the definitive reply, which I tested
and confirmed it works great. I am copying here for anyone with CUPS
that needs the same facility:

Kurt Pfeifle [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] said:

Visit http://printing.kde.org/downloads/. Grab the "PDF distiller
script". It is a script that works as a "CUPS backend". Copy it as
filename "pdf" to "/usr/lib/cups/backend/", make it world-executable and
re-start cupsd.

Install a "printer", connected to the backend:

"lpadmin -p PDFcreator -v pdf:/home/chris/PDFfiles -E -P
/path/to/distiller.ppd"

(for distiller.ppd you can take a PPD designed for Acrobat Distiller.)
This printer "PDFcreator" is handled like any other by CUPS: appearing
in every clients' browse list, automatically available, taking as input
any file format CUPS can handle (text, PostScrpt, graphic, HP/GL...),
etc. All generated PDF files will be saved under a unique name in the
directory "/home/chris/PDFfiles" (which you need to create too). Of
course, you can direct it somewhere else, like a Samba [PDF-file-share],
to make it accessible to all Windows users for retrieval...

The distiller.ppd is not working 100% with the "real" engine inside the
backend script (which calls Ghostscript's 'ps2pdf' to do the job) --
meaning not all selectable options are really used; someone needs to
write a PPD 
which is reflecting "ps2pdf"'s abilities 100%. But the basic setup works
extremly well

Cheers,
Kurt

[Uhmmm... the script was written by KDEPrint wizard Michael Goffioul;
but it has nothing "KDE" specific in it and it is *not* the same as the
"Print to File (PDF)" special printer that is in the list of any current
KDE print dialog...]

I expanded on John Bright's idea and created a script that delivers the
resulting PDF via email. It also uses the Title field in the PDF to
generate the filename. Since the file is delivered via email, there's no
filename duplication problem. See

  http://www.pobox.com/~agreene/downloads/print2pdf

The script is internally documented and includes comments and
explanations.

[Chris Mason]

I'd like to have a windows computer print postscript to a Redhat server,
and have the server turn the postscript into a pdf and save it in a
samba share. Can that be done?

RE: Photo-quality printer and software?

[Chris Mason]

You can run an Espon 1270 on Linux using Gimp Print filters for quality
output, and gthumbs is an image management program. If you use KDE,
Konquerer allows you to  preview all the images in a folder, and create
web galleries of the folders.

It will work, but windows programs do this better. We do a lot of this
work and can't see leaving windows just yet. It's hard to stop using a
program like ThumbsPlus for image management.
What I would really like is a server based image management program with
windows clients so all users can see the thumbnails, notes, virtual
galleries. Anyone know of such a beast for Linux?

I suggest you check out www.linuxprinting.org, where you can find lots
of info on many printers.

Though I have no experience with them, I recall seeing that the Epson
Color-xxx printers can do a good job and that they work well on Linux.
Or if you have HP's drivers for their printers many of them may also
work well.

Check out the URL above for much more (and more accurate) information.

probably I'm not familiar with them, though.

RE: How DNS Work?

[Chris Mason]

You can host the DNS on your own box. Most ISPs expect to handle the DNS
for the forward zone but it's not a must, I have a dedicated server and
host my DNS on the same server. However, if you are thinking of hosting
your DNS on a domestic cbale feed or DSL, I would suggest you don't, as
DNS stability affects all your server's software.
You can't host the inverse domain, BTW.

RE: VPN Software for RedHat

[Chris Mason]

The only solution I know of is free/SWAN - there's a Redhat kernel RPM
and tools to go with it, you can have a IPSEC server up in minutes. I
have it running and it works great. How compatible it will be with other
IPSEC software will depend on how close to the standard they are, but
you should be able to get it all working. 
There's a free/SWAN mailing list where you can get answers if you have
problems. I found it relatively easy to setup, and with something like
SSH's Sentinel software it was easy to connect windows computers.

Subject: The quest for a network monitor


I've tried a number of network monitoring tools.

I want one that shows the details like trafshow.  Or iptraf
They both can  shows both ends of the live connections, 
But trafshow has no summary type settings that can be displayed at
the time or at all really.  

iptraf has summary info but you can't see it and the live connections
at the same time.

ntop has about all one could ever want to know but its not in
realtime.  You don't see both ends of live connections.
It could well be that ntop does this and I haven't discovered the
technique, because ntop is a serious and complicated tool

To name a few I tried and didn't like for my purpose:

  gkrellm:  I found nearly useless.  Microscopic font, Microscopic
graphs marching by, but the internet monitor stuff is really pretty
useless.  It claims to show ranges of ports, but a setting of
  any  0-63535
Shows nothing at all.  One can set things like
 ssh 22,0
And see how many ssh connections there are but no details 

  nload: All I ever got was a blank screen.

I guess what I want is to see all the screens of iptraf at once or 
trafshow with summary info on another section.

Is there such a critter?

Subject: Diagnosing an elusive fault on a critical system [long]

Dear Red Hatters,

Sorry to join the list like this, but...

I am a bad spot.  Our company has taken the step to replace an ancient
Sun Sparc II and a recently-compromised RH 6.0 network server with a
new RH 7.2 omni-server with software RAID, backup tape, VPN, updated
network services and increased security.  So far so good.

Unfortunately, it's taken longer than expected to configure and migrate
all the services, so the costs are running up and the management is
less than enthusiastic with things at this point.  But this isn't the
real problem.

The REAL problem is that this machine has been crashing periodically.
It does not always crash in the same way.  It does consistently crash
on Saturday mornings, toward the end of a lengthy Amanda amdump run.

The system was up and running since the installation in early May.  A
2.4.9-31mppe kernel has been in use since the third week of May.
Amanda backups of local drives began at the end of May, with the
addition of NT server shares in early June.  There was a lengthy power
outage June 14th - 15th, but this system was powered down before the
UPS gave out.  The RH 6.0 network server and firewall have more
recently been added as Amanda client systems.

Since the first two anomalies were under heavy load and completely
different, I guessed there was a heat issue (see system specs below for
the logic of this).  There was a silent, hard crash the first time
(June 29, a little after 1:30 am), and hard drive errors the second
time (July 20).

Logs from hard drive errors:

  Jul 20 06:17:51 pegasus kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  Jul 20 06:17:51 pegasus kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 {

  Jul 20 06:17:51 pegasus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:07
(hda), sector 548864
  Jul 20 06:17:51 pegasus kernel: raid5: Disk failure on hda7, disabling
device. Operation continuing on 3 devices

After I removed and added /dev/hda7, I ran a CVS update of /etc (like
the author of the recent Linux Journal article, I keep my life in a CVS
archive).  More disk errors:

  Jul 20 14:15:05 pegasus kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  Jul 20 14:15:05 pegasus kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 {

  Jul 20 14:15:05 pegasus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:05
(hda), sector 22272
  Jul 20 14:15:05 pegasus kernel: raid5: Disk failure on hda5, disabling
device. Operation continuing on 3 devices

I removed and added /hda5 and all was well.

These drive errors were completely transient; I had no more disk errors
afterward although we continued to run in this state through the end of
July, when I rebooted after updating the openssl RPMs.  Weird, isn't
it?  Surely something was overheating, right?  We changed the office
thermostat to leave the fans running 24/7, though the air conditioners
are still at 78F except between 6am and 10pm weekdays, when it cools
down to 74F.

After a third crash under the same circumstances (Aug 10), involving a
long run of "kernel: Oops" messages this time, I ordered additional
fans and pulled the cover off the case to let it breathe freely until I
could take it down and install the fans.

Guess what -- it crashed again last Saturday morning.  More "kernel:
Oops" messages.  I guess it probably isn't a heat dissipation
problem...  <:-(

I won't include all the "kernel: Oops" dumps, but here are the initial
ones from the August 10 and 17 crashes:

Im trying to conjure up some way to grant users access to files via a

If there is Id like to hear it... but for now heres the current idea

I would like to somehow present a microsoft network share on a machine
thats 
in a NT domain out to the world via https so as to give users with
standard 
web browsers the ability to upload and download files from that windows 
share.

I thought that possibly I could craft something up using samba,
smbmount, 
winbind pam, and the usermin file management module, and so far I have
built 
a redhat 7.3 box with samba and winbindd running.

After adjusting PAM for things like /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/sshd
I 
can now login to the redhat box using windows NT domain credentials,
which 
is great, but attempts to modify /etc/pam.d/usermin similarly doenst
seem to 
work, ie I get login failures and am unable to log into usermin with
windows 
nt domain credentials.

I suppose Im asking 2 questions... 1) is what im doing possible/make
sense 
2) is there some other simpiler way to go about providing some such 
functionality?

not fast but I use it as a lot when I don't want to sit in front of my
workstation, especially as I have wireless and can be anywhere in the
house. 

I have two similar machines, I installed windows on the other and it
practically stopped it was so slow. I think you expect too much from
such a slow machine. If you don't run a gui, for instance as a server,
you can expect some reasonable work out of it, but as a desktop, it's a
bit too weak for real work.

I have a similarly configured machine, with the exception of hte
RAM...my 
PII 266 only has 64MB, and I often note a slowness in KDE, but I assume
it 
to be a lack of RAM, as I often note the system swapping.

Check "free" to make sure your system is recognizing the full complement

of memory in the box.

Re: monitor virtual hosts

[Chris Mason]

I tried building mod_watch after editing the makefile but Apache doesn't
find it. I added the lines to LoadModule but it complains of 

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 965 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot add module via name 'mod_watch.c': not in list of loaded modules

Any help appreciated.

Rsync cannot authenticate

[Chris Mason]

I have a backup script that copies the contents of a directory to my
local server at night. The command is run from a script:
/etc/cron.daily/backup


/usr/bin/rsync -arvz -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/files/*
/backup_disk/servername/ 

The output from the cron job is:
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error:
error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)

When I run the script from the command line as root it works. From cron
it doesn't. The ssh keys are exchanged and no passphrase is required.
I don't know what to do now.

RE: monitor virtual hosts

[Chris Mason]

That looks great and I will try to implement when I have some time, it's
obviously not a five minute thing.
One other question for everyone, is there a way to see what mySQL is
doing, what queries it is executing in real time? Most of my load is
mysql.

hi Chris,

What i did for my mrtg setup is just as below, but this only monitor
based
on machine ip

- install mrtg rpm package
- create mrtg config file using cfgmaker as
 cfgmaker --global "WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg" \
   --global "Options[_]: growright,bits" \
   --ifref=ip \
   --output /etc/mrtg/devicename.cfg \
   public@ip
- run mrtg as daemon, vi devicename.cfg, add in beginning of file
   RunAsDaemon: Yes
   Interval: 5

Hope this will help, it work fine for me...

If you need more info, always can get from

Webalizer is no good, I need realtime server wide monitoring.

You could change your cron job to run Webalizer more often.  Or, you
could 
run a tail -f against the important sites' logs, and keep an eye on the 
files being viewed.

Oi vey! Is this stuff complex or what. I can't figure out this snmp
stuff. Any chance you could snatize and send me your configs? Any other
notes you can offer are appreciated.

Re: monitor virtual hosts

[Chris Mason]

Seems like I hit a sensitive topic - goodie...

I use webalizer on all sites, well, all the important ones. But when the
server gets really busy, it doesn't help, I need to know what's being
looked at now so I can go and look at the logs in real time.

We host all our own sites, so there's no financial interest, we get well
paid for our hosting, but I want to see who's looking at what.
Generally when we get a large load it's a crawl by a search engine.

Three of our sites account for most of our traffic, but how can you be
sure, so I want a way to check. I am bigh on monitoring, using
netsaint/nagios, cricket, iptraf and a web based service to ensure
reliabilty and trace problems.

I know as soon as the server gets loaded up, but I don't know what site
is causing it.

I'll try the MRTG ans see hwo that works out, thanks for the
suggesitons,

Chris

monitor virtual hosts

[Chris Mason]

I use iptraf to see what connections are on my server, but ther is no
way to know what websites are getting traffic. Previously I put a second
log entry into every virtual host and monitored that, but it put too
much load on the server to write to another log.
Is there any monitoring utility that allows the admin to see when sites
are being requested?
