similar to: cannot mount NFS share, portmap problems, what todo? [SOLVED]

Hi all, I want to map an NFS share from a remote server to a local CentOS 5.4 server, but have a problem with portmap: root at mercury:[~]$ service portmap restart pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer Stopping portmap: [FAILED] Starting portmap: [ OK ] root at

It seems there are a number of Centos users in the Cologne/Bonn/Aachen area of Germany. If there is not one already (and please let me know if there is!) I'd like to start a Linux User Group (including Centos) for this area. I'm way down in Blankenheim, though. Would someone like to volunteer a location? I envision alternating meetings between the three cities if possible... just

Is anyone working on Nagios 3.x RPMs? If not, perhaps I'll whip some up and submit them to some appropriate repository. Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Deutschland http://www.galitz.org

Hello, We are testing the Centos LDAP Directory Server but are running into issues with applications (SOGo) authenticating against the LDAP system. The crux of my question is, can I just treat the Centos Directory Server as a generic OpenLDAP configuration on the client side? In more detail when I try to add account via ldapadd: -------------------------------- ldapadd -f sogo.ldif -x -W -D

Under Centos 5.X, how can I determine with 100% certainty what driver is associated with a given device other than referencing dmesg? For example, what tool can I use to tell for sure what driver is attached to my eth0 device? I have searched the web, but could not find anything that answered my question.

So we had that nice long thread about the commercial support page a week ago. There were a few recommendations on changes to the page. What next? It is not clear to me if any recommendations were accepted or are being debated internally or if this fizzled out somehow. Is there any process to this kind of thing other than a few developers agreeing it a good thing and then just doing it?

Have folks been using Cmake on Centos5 without issues? I have installed an RPM for it, but I've been running into some apparent configuration issues. -geoff --------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm looking at using GFS for parallel access to shared storage, most likely an iSCSI resource. It will most likely work just fine but I am curious if folks are using anything with fewer system requisites (e.g. installing and configuring the Cluster Suite). Specifically to our case, we have 50 nodes running in-house code (some in Java, some in C) which (among other things) receives JPGs,

Hello, I'm compiling a collection of stories from the systems administrator trenches. They can be short or long, funny or about a particularly challenging problem or period, or even something that appeared very technically challenging and ended up being something very simple. Stories which are more political would be ok so long as they do not have an agenda or can be interpreted as a

Hi all, I have setup a CentOS6.3 x86_64 host to act as a nfs server. According to RHEL6 docs, portmap is not needed when you use NFSv4, but in my host I need to start rpcbind service to make NFSv4 works. My /etc/sysconfig/nfs # # Define which protocol versions mountd # will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes" # with yes being the default MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"

? Does "ifconfig" or "dmesg" show any errors??? If the answer to those is no, I'd start running sar to see if there is abnormal behavior which could indicate a hardware problem.?? Of course, another possibility is a DDOS.? Do you have any kind security monitoring or protection in place? -geoff ----------------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim,

Hi all, I have implemented portmap spoofing in klibc nfsmount (released as klibc-0.144) This is basically a vestigial portmap daemon which gets launched before the mount() call and then just records any transactions it gets to a file and sends back an affirmative reply. There are two ways to use it (this belongs in a README file, but it's too late at night right now): a) Set a fixed

Hello all, I have a server on my private network that is configured as an NIS server and mapped to a "public" IP address on a firewall. All other TCP ports (SSH, iperf, you name it) are visible from the outside - but the portmapper-managed ports (port 111 itself and the YPSERV/YPXFRD ports, etc.) are not visible from the outside - even though they are alive and well on the internal

Are folks in the Centos community succesfully using device-mapper-multipath? I am looking to deploy it for error handling on our iSCSI setup but there seems to be little traffic about this package on the Centos forums, as far as I can tell, and there seems to be a number of small issues based on my reading the dm-multipath developer lists and related resources. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim

Hi, all: This is just a note and suggestion, not a question; but I really like this system and thought it might be useful to others so I decided to share. Hope it helps someone, and comments or suggestions are always welcome. 1. Overview: Shorewall accepts traffic on ports that I consider "hostile" (i.e. ports on which I would NEVER expect to see connections) and redirects

I installed portsentry and am using it with shorewall. I followed the HOWTO posted here, and I have it working together, I have gotten about 4 emails saying such IP is blocked for 5 days. However, in the /etc/portsentry dir, the only files in there are: portsentry.conf portsentry.ignore portsentry.temp.block There are no files that should be there like: portsentry.history portsentry.block -

Hi, I've a question about a problem using a samba share in a UNIX AIX server.

It seams that user have access permission but an error is returned when fileNET try to write a file. Thanks in
