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

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

I have discovered that the JUNOS DHCP server in Juniper J-series routers doesn't support setting the next-server IP address field (I have filed a bug report with Juniper and they are working on it). Instead, it puts the "boot server" in the sname field, which PXELINUX currently ignores. Here's a simple patch (vs. 3.36) that will take an IP string in the field. My assembly is

First, I'd like to configure my system to forward ip, to act as a gateway for my network. I've always used a script during startup to do this: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j SNAT --to ${IP_NAT} This works fine, however I want this permanent so I don't have to run the script on startup. I have the firewall setup with SNAT

Hello, I have a Gentoo Linux guest, which was working very well with the past xm tool stack. Since the migration to xen-4.1.1 and to the new xl tool stack, I have a problem for the IP assignation. Actually, when dhcpcd starts at boot time the IP address is not correctly assigned. This also happens if I perform "dhcpcd eth0" once I''ve accessed to the guest shell. I

Hi all, Few questions. Does DHCP failover work with statically assigned nodes? Seems like the failover statements only work in shared networks with non bootp clients? I'm assuming Centos 6 will have DHCP v4.2? Currently 5.5 ships with v3.0.5b. And will DHCP v4.X have easier failover implementation? Thanks in advance, - aurf

I noticed one of my smbd processes for one particular client (IUSR_JUNIPER) is taking 200MB in memory, far different from all the other smbd processes. Should I be concerned about a memory leak here? I don't think samba would be caching any files, so I can't see why it'd use this much memory. That windows client is a win2k IIS5 server, with well over 60 sites that are hosted off a

Hi, Has any one had problems with mail clients were your DNS is like this; doman.com MX 50 mail.domain.com domain.com MX 100 mail2.domain.com domain.com CNAME www.domain.com -aurf

Folks, Haven't been able to find any information on either issue. 1) We have Windows clients (primarily NT4sp6a and WinXP sp1) connecting to Samba servers, and it works fine but the connections are slow. They take 5-10 seconds whereas connections to native Windows servers are nearly instant. 2) The WinXP machines seem to disconnect the SMB session to the Samba servers ASAP rather than

Hi guys, I'm running a KVM/libvirt host in a datacenter and got a fancy IPv4 subnet from my provider. I'm able to assign IPs from that subnet via dhcp to my VMs: host01 ~ # virsh net-dumpxml internet <network connections='3'> <name>internet</name> <uuid>37b888cc-510f-46f1-9246-346da96222ed</uuid> <forward dev='enp5s0f0'

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, We are facing a problem with STP implementation. We have only 2 switches. Thats the constraint, but we feel STP should work. Background: We have developed a layer 2 switch. This uses Cirrus logic's ep9301 processor, embedded Linux 2.4.21 kernel as the OS and zarlink's switch controller. The observation: 1)we have 2 switches, switch A and switch B 2)port 1 and port 2 of switch

Hello. I desire to get bridge network working using virt-manager. Centos 7 and centos 7 guest. >From researching I think I need to have a ifcfg-br0 file like this ? cat ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=nm-bridge0 STP=no TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.1.8 PREFIX=32 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 IPV6INIT=no NAME=br0 ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 Is that for sure needed ?

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, In kubevirt, we discovered [1] that whenever e1000 is used for vNIC, link on the interface becomes ready several seconds after 'ifup' is executed, which for some buggy images like cirros may slow down boot process for up to 1 minute [2]. If we switch from e1000 to virtio, the link is brought up and ready almost immediately. For the record, I am using the following versions: - L0

NOTE: The position is within the IT organization at Juniper, of which I am not a part. I do not have first-hand knowledge of the working conditions, and cannot speak to that with authority. I would, however, encourage anyone intending to express interest to ask about anything that might be a concern -- preferably during the interview process. My bias would be to favor someone who wishes to
