Hi all, I noticed that my ssh logins to a particular server were taking up to 5 seconds to finally login. My tcpdump -vv weren't producing much output (not good) and my pings to and from that host were normal and almost identical to other hosts on my subnet that had no ssh login delay issues. Log files also showed nothing alarming. My hosts file was missing this at the very end of

Hi all, is any one aware quotas not working in 5,5? I'm using XFS as a file system. My fstab has the appropriate usrquota,grpquota but when I try to run; quotacheck -cug /foo I get; quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. I already have a large amount of data in the mount. Do quotas get implemented on only empty filesystems and

Hi all, I'm migrating from my Cent 5.x LDAP server to Cent 6.x. But wondering if there are any advantages to the Directory Server package itself? Been using regular old LDAP server for years now. I manage it both via Webmin and command line as well as some tweaks to a Drupal module. The fail over has always sort of bothered me as the secondary LDAP servers pull vs being pushed to, at

Hi, I found 2 identical drives lying around and put them into a system. When booting from a Centos 5.x installer, and when being presented with the formatting option (disk druid), it says I have 1 volume of; mamapper/isw_bdihgcgahe_Volume0p2 I can't seem to get rid of it. I have 2 physical disks but disk druid is seeing 1 volume thats the same size as one of the 2 identical drives.

Hi all, This topic is one that I am ignorant on and appreciate any guidance. My scenario; I have a wild card SSL installed on one of my CentOS boxes. As I understand it, this server was used as a sort of master when originally generating and receiving the wild card SSL cert (got the cert from GoDaddy BTW). So, now I must export some file(s) from that server so that I can import it/them to

Hi all, I've a particular host on my network that when I run; rexec -l username -p password remotehost command it just hangs. When I do; rexec -a -l username -p password remotehost command i get; Where are you? If I do; rexec -l username -p password localhostname (not just localhost but its actual name) command it works. Any ideas would be very appreciated. - aurf

Hi all, Don't mean to double post as I sent this to the general Centos list. But, does any one have 802.3ad (mode 4) working on there Centos6 KVM setup? This would be a bridge+bond setup of course. If not possible, would I still bond the interfaces on the switch and then bond them in the guest rather then from within the hypervisor? - aurf

Hi, I'm VNCing into my KVM server and opening virt-manager. When trying to manage a newly created guest, I'm finding the mouse pointer stays on the outside of its virtual machine window. Any insight as to why its tracking so oddly? Thanks in advance, - aurf

Hi, I've been using qemu-img resize for a few days now, seems fine. But if I du the VMs image file, it still shows the size before resizing. Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly. Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? Once I qemu-img resize, I then use various fdisk/ LVM tools, etc... to resize within the VM just incase you all were wondering. - aurf

Hi, Wondering if this is the proper bridging technique to use for Centos6+KVM; http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM Before I embark on this again, I would like to do it by the book. Thanks in advance, - aurf

Hi all, Not having much luck adding a user to more then 1 group in OpenLDAP thats provided in Centos. Any suggestions to have the outcome of having a user belong to multiple groups? Should I create a new group that has multiple GIDs and assign a user to that new group? If so, how? :) Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Read many posts on the subject. Using 802.3ad. Few problems; Cannot ping some hosts on the network, they are all up. Cannot resolve via DNS which is one of the hosts that I cannot ping, internal nor external DNS hosts. Unplugging the NICS and plugging them back in will then not allow pining if the default d=gateway. When cold booting it somewhat works, some hosts are pingable while

Hi all, I've a 30TB hardware based RAID array. Wondering what you all thought of using ext4 over XFS. I've been a big XFS fan for years as I'm an Irix transplant but would like your opinions. This 30TB drive will be an NFS exported asset for my users housing home dirs and other frequently accessed files. - aurf

I've been setting custom env vars for Apache 1 of 2 ways; 1 - Changing the passwd file so Apache has a shell and loading a custom .bashrc file. 2 - Using the SetEnv directive in my httpd.conf file. I'm crazy about neither one as they both have limitations; 1 - I don't like giving Apache its own shell. 2 - The SetEnv directive only takes 2 args so if I have a var with multiple

Hi all, I thought I?d post this in case any one has issues similar to mine. First, my initial email to the list which I didn?t send; I?m trying to run a KVM based guest OS off of a mirrored ZFS dataset. It won?t run with errors "invalid argument..", but will run when on the root volume, or when that ZFS dataset has been removed in favor of an EXT4 volumes. Thanks in advance, PS I

Hi, Does setting the autofs timeout=0 create a permanent mount? What I'm trying to do is get the best of both world; 1) Have a persistent mount so that users can use autocompletion. 2) utilize the benefits of autofs so that when an NFS resource becomes unavailable, the system doesn't hang. I've tried a timeout of 0 but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi all, I have a need to copy only dirs, subdirs and sym links only without the need to copy contents. I originally used the following test to observe behavior; rsync -a -f"+ */" -f"- *" source destination So I noticed that dirs/subdirs were copied but without contents as desired. I have several sym links (dir sym links) that I would also to to copy over. I tried

Hi all, I have a few ldap servers slaved to a primary via syncrepl, all is well. I've set my clients to auth against a few and there /etc/ldap.conf looks like so; uri ldap://primary.domain.com ldap://secondary.domain.com However when either primary or slaves go down, while the clients can log in, access is very slow, ls of any dir is painful. The /var/log/messages shows several failed

Hi all, Is there a way to automate the removal of Klipper? It fouls up one of our major applications. Thanks in advance.
