Issue with package-cleanup --oldkernels with PAE kernel
By Alfred von Campe at Jan 3, 2009, 05:02 am UTC
I'm not sure if this is a bug, known issue, feature, etc. On my CentOS systems with the PAE kernel installed, package-cleanup behaves as follows: # rpm -q kernel package kernel is not installed # rpm -q kernel-PAE kernel-PAE-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 kernel-PAE-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5... More...

Setting up yum

Has anyone else seen this? Is this expected behavior or a (known) bug?

restricting mails from "mail" command to specific domains only in postfix
By ankush grover at Jan 3, 2009, 03:36 am UTC
Hi Friends, I have configured Postfix mail server on Centos for relaying mails from 5 linux servers (including itself) within the same LAN.

Hi Friends,
I have configured Postfix mail server on Centos for relaying mails
from 5 linux servers (including itself) within the same LAN. The
postfix mail server should relay mails from these 5 linux servers for
specific domains only. For example hosts 192.168.0.23/24/25/26/27 and
the postfix mail server should only be able to receive and send mails
from and to example.com,example2.com and example3.com domains only.
Below is the configuration of the postfix mail server
myhostname = test.example.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mynetworks_style = subnet
mynetworks = 192.168.0.23/32,192.168.0.24/32,192.168.0.25/32,127.0.0.1/32,192.168.0.26/32,192.168.0.27/32
,relay_domains = $mydestination,example.com,example2.com,example3.com
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
reject_unauth_destination,permit_mynetworks,reject
The issue I am facing is that whenever things are working fine when I
check the things through telnet but when I do testing through command
line through "mail" command I am able to send mails to any domain from
these 5 servers.
bash-2.05$ telnet test.example.com 25
Trying 192.168.0.27...
Connected to test.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 test.example.com ESMTP Postfix (2.2.5)
mail from:ankush.grover@example.com
250 Ok
501 Syntax: RCPT TO: <address>
rcpt to:ankush@gmail.com
554 <ankush@gmail.com>: Relay access denied
How can I restrict mails even going through "mail" command from these
5 servers to specific domains only. These 5 servers are running some
cronjobs and these cronjobs output it mailed through "mail" command.
Regards
Ankush

Proxy password questions

Hello All: I'm having a strange issue with the yum proxy settings. It is directly related to passwords containing exclamation points.

Hello All:
I'm having a strange issue with the yum proxy settings. It is
directly related to passwords containing exclamation points.
For example, the following works fine in yum.conf:
http_proxy=http://somentlmproxy.somecompany.com
http_password=regularpassword
However, if the password contains any exclamation points, it will not
authenticate properly. E.g., a password such as "TheyKilledKenny!!"
will fail, but "TheyKilledKenny??" will work fine.
I've tried exporting http_proxy from the command line and escaping the
exclamation points:
http_proxy=http://klowe:TheyKilledKenny\!\!@somentlmproxy.xxx.com:80
but no success.
Any workarounds to get this going? Unfortunately, I do not have any
control over the password.

I have been having some strange results trying to burn CDs under
CentOS. I don't think they are hardware related because I have had
some success, in fact most of this usually works.
I use k3b for most of my CD and DVD writing - it seems to work fairly
well (well, except for wrecking my installation a few weeks ago when
it crashed my installation and I had to reinstall to get it back, but
that's old news).
Yesterday, of my work desktop (32-bit), I tried to burn a CD with k3b.
The system hung as soon as I clicked on the start button in the burn
menu. I did not want another case of wrecked system, so I rebooted
(no other way to interrupt it) and all went well, except that I didn't
even try to burn the CD. (I used my other, backup desktop, and it
worked fine over there - hmm....)
Then, last night, on my home desktop (64-bit), which is usually solid
as a rock, no problems whatsoever (I said "usually"), I had similar
problems, though not quite as bad. I was trying to erase some CD-RWs,
and I kept getting errors, both from k3b and cdrecord, claiming that
they could not lock the drive for exclusive access (because another
process was accessing the device). This is really annoying because
I've tried this one several CD-RWs, and they all get the same error.
Since k3b doesn't include a facility to add data to an already written
CD or DVD unless there's a specific project for it (which I don't have
'cuz the CDs were written under Window$ or with projects I didn't
keep).
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks.

Dom0 OS=CentOS-5.2_X86_64
Dom1 OS=CentOS-5.2_X86_64
I have a desktop machine running the xen kernel, Dom0. I have created a
virtual machine on that host, Dom1. From my console session on Dom0 I can
open a GUI console for Dom1 but I cannot resize the actual screen area. I
can make the virtual console window larger but the screen stays centered
at the same size while the margins increase in width.
I would like to simply switch my entire desktop display from the Dom0 to
Dom1 (together with the keyboard and mouse of course) and then back to
Dom0 again when I am done. I suspect that this is not possible, but if it
is then surely someone here will know.
If I cannot actually switch desktops between domains then is there another
technique available to accomplish much the same thing? I would like to
use Dom1 for software development using visual editors and such. Running
these inside the virtual console window is not workable, mainly due to the
limited display size and the erratic behaviour of the mouse.
Regards,
--

Hi!
I have some servers, all running centos 5.2 x64 with current updates. None =
of
the servers has installed packages that are not part of the centos regular
packages. They were installed using the "server" packages at install,
therefore there is no X server, GNOME, KDE or any other non-server stuff.
However, I recently noted that the servers have the x64 _and_ the i386
versions of some packages installed, for instance: krb5-libs-1.6.1-25.el5_2=
.1
and pam_krb5-2.2.14-1.el5_2.1. My question is: If I have no 32 bits software
installed on these machines, why are such libraries installed? and can they=
be
safely removed from the servers?
Thanks in advance.

Long ago when I was an AIX admin we had a script we ran every 6 months
or so and it created what we called the "System Book". It had every
possible configuration option. While acknowledging that on a whole it
was overkill documentation, if we ever had to rebuild the systems we
knew *exactly* how the old one was set up to compare it to if we had
problems.
I'm looking to do something similar for my CentOS boxes. Or better
yet, see if someone has already done something similar. I've poked
around google and sourceforge on and off for a couple of months but
haven't found much. The discussion lately about 'hwinfo' jogged my
memory. Anyone know of something like this? A template, even? An old
project that hasn't been updated but could be brought up to date?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Dave
