Hi, Regarding the last example creating the config files with several echos with redirection: On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 20:37, J Potter <jpotter-centos at codepuppy.com> wrote: > echo "node a.example.com" > /etc/ha.d/ha.cf > echo "node b.example.com" >> /etc/ha.d/ha.cf > echo "udpport 9000" >> /etc/ha.d/ha.cf > echo "bcast bond0" >> /etc/ha.d/ha.cf >...

Hi List, We had the following error thrown on console on a PowerEdge server running CentOS 5 (64 bit). Googling around didn't yield any particular insights. The server crashed a few minutes after this message. Running memtester, just to check, didn't find anything; and the box has been running for months before this without issue. I'm wondering if anyone has run across this

Hi List, On one of our servers (CentOS 4 32 bit), we have the dag repo enabled. Yesterday morning during a yum update, yum replaced the CentOS package "perl-DBD-MySQL" with one from dag, "perl-DBD-mysql". For whatever reason, the two packages differ, in that only one of them (the CentOS built one) includes:

Hi List, We're using bonding to create bond0 with 2 NICs, and noticing that CentOS 5 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 (and presumably older) creates bond1 as well. I'd like to remove bond1 from the system, so that our monitoring scripts don't pick it up, except for those machines that actually do have a bond1. So... how does one remove bond1? Thanks! Misc info below of configuration and

I'm noticing that logrotate's default configuration for rotating /var/ log/secure and /var/log/messages partially fails if root's shell is set to /bin/tcsh (via chsh). (Running on CentOS 4.4; logrotate-3.7.1-5.RHEL4). What seems to be happening is that the logrotate.d/syslog postrotate command runs: /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null

Hi List, On one of our CentOS 5 (x64_86) servers, identical to a number of other systems, I'm seeing some processes / services failing to run, along with the following error in /var/log/messages: Mar 2 23:25:07 someHostname kernel: wrapper-linux-x[24448] general protection rip:805386e rsp:ffc20390 error:0 Mar 2 23:25:09 someHostname kernel: dsm_sa_datamgr3[5063] general

Hi List, Is there an easy way to get a count of the number of active socket connections, or even better, number of socket connections in the time_wait state? (Something lightweight... under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/? I'd like to avoid the impact of listing out all the connections a-la netstat.) Thanks! -Jeff

Hi List, We've been seeing the following error on a CentOS 5.2 x86_64 / 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 install (from /var/log/httpd/error): *** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/httpd: double free or corruption (! prev): 0x00002ad8ebed2d80 *** [Thu Jul 10 19:12:19 2008] [notice] child pid 5261 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Thu Jul 10 19:12:48 2008] [notice] child pid 12180 exit signal

I'm stumped. We have a CentOS 4.4 box with something like the following IPs: eth0: 64.61.61.100 eth0:0 64.61.61.112 eth1: 10.0.0.100 lo: 127.0.0.1 (of course) We want requests to 64.61.61.112:80 to be NAT'ed to 127.0.0.1:8080. This seems like it should be really simple -- maybe the following? -- I've tried variants combining this rule with a POSTROUTING rule, tried dnat,

Hi List, Is there a way to limit the number of cgi processes Apache's suExec will fork for a given vhost or given user? (either solution is fine) suExec doesn't honor the /etc/security/limits.conf nproc value. mod_throttle seems to be dead; and I can't figure out if selinux might be able to manage this (although would rather not flip selinux from permissive to enabled).

Hi List, I'm noticing that the CentOS-plus repo for 4.6 has MySQL 5.0.54 in it, but the CentOS 5.1 repo does not have a newer rpm, leaving the "newest" easily-available version as the vendor-provided mysql 5.0.22. Is there a reason for this? We're wanting to try a newer MySQL under CentOS 5.1 -- do any of the standard repos include such an RPM? Thanks! -Jeff

I've been seeing the below message from yum whenever the repo has an update (CentOS 5): > /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron: > > ** Message: sqlite cache needs updating, reading in metadata Googling a bit, it looks like others have seen this happen as well. The solutions, when I've found them, have been along the lines of "send output to /dev/null" or "edit this

Hi List, I have a dumb sendmail question, and I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction (besides "sendmail list is two doors down on the left" ;-). One of our clients has a bunch of servers -- CentOS 5 -- that are on only a private network that's NATted to the outside world -- that is, those servers can initiate outbound connections fine, but don't

Hi List, Is it possible to get an rpm built and added into the plus or dag repos for the perl module svn-notify? (Note: not the same as svn- notify-mirror.) I know it's been brought up before that perl's internal CPAN build/ install can cause serious conflicts with the rpm-based approach; if there are other / better ways of doing this in a standard fashion, please let me know.

Hi List, I'm stumped by this: load average: 10.65, 594.71, 526.58 We're monitoring load every ~3 minutes. It'll be fine (i.e. something like load average: 2.14, 1.27, 1.03), and then in a single sample, jump to something like the above. This seems to happen once a week or so on a few different servers (all running in a similar application). I've never seen the 1 minute

Hi List, I'm trying to configure two switches to provide redundancy (i.e. in case one switch goes down), and am wondering if there is a standard way to configure a CentOS box to use different gateways in a bonded interface, depending upon which physical nic is being used? A bit more detail might help answer the "And why do you want to do that?" questions... - Switch 1,
