Hello fellow CentOS sysadmins, I run a small multiplayer card game with around 500 users at peak times. The client is in Flash and the server is in Perl. The Perl server binds to port 8080, i.e. only 1 instance of it can be started (important detail). The Perl server poll()s TCP-sockets and forks only once - at the startup by calling this method: sub daemonize { die "Can not

Hello, I hope my question is not off-topic here. On CentOS 7.2.1511 I have installed: haproxy-1.5.14-3.el7.x86_64 httpd-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.1.x86_64 The /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg binds HAProxy to ports 80 and 443 and accepts HTTPS to slova.de: defaults mode http option http-server-close option forwardfor except 127.0.0.0/8 option

Hello, I was using CentOS 5.5 as a "playground" VM at my WinXP notebook and now I'm migrating to a new CentOS 5.6 install and everything has worked well - except samba. I have this very permissive config to export my ~/src dir: # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] guest ok = yes guest account = afarber security = share hosts allow = 172.16.6. 127.0.0.1 [src]

Hello, I have a CentOS 5.5/64bit VM, where I only have sudo rights: afarber ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL I'm trying to pass LD_LIBRARY_PATH through sudo to install DBD::Oracle ( https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63678 ) and have tried using "sudo -E" and also changing these lines in the stock /etc/sudoers: Defaults !env_reset Defaults env_keep =

Hello, I'm using the latest CentOS with phpBB 3.0.x + postgreSQL + sendmail (relayed through gmail.com) - all those programs working fine, with no big modifications of the CentOS defaults (i.e. SELinux is on). Now I'm struggling with the seemingly simple problem, that when I put an .html file into /var/www/html/ then Apache won't serve it. In the browser I see: "Forbidden You

Hello fellow CentOS-users, on the net there are lots of Spamassassin related HOWTOs - describing how to create a shell script for Postfix and how to install Spamassassin and start its spamd daemon - step by step. Additionally antivirus setups are described... But I have a strong feeling, that this is unneeded on CentOS 6 - because there are already preconfigured stock packages for postfix and

Hello, pardon my chaotic question, but does anybody have an idea, why can't I suspend vim-enhanced-7.2.411-1.6.el6.x86_64 with a CTRL-Z, then execute few commands at my bash prompt and then get back to the vim session again with "fg"? It has stopped working at my CentOS 6.2 machine (I haven't noticed exactly when) but works fine with CentOS 5.x. I'm using PuTTY to login to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I need to remove an entry of inittab which is used to (re)spawn a process: mydemon:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mydemon >/dev/null 2>&1 So, I would comment out that entry and reload init running ``telinit q''. IIRC, this would lead to the currently running daemon being killed. I don't want to /try/ whether I'm right, as

We run a CentOS-5 based hylafax server with external serial modems. We are transitioning to an Asterisk system using IAXmodem running on CentOS-6. On the CentOS-5 system to start the fax modems we added these lines to inittab: # Add fax lines and always ALWAYS run "telinit q" after making a change. fax1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 fax2:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1

hi, im new here. we have servers with centos 4. yesterday one of it crash and cold rebooted. reboot process run well until finally we found that some of /etc/inittab configurations doesn't loaded properly, like no virtual terminal available and svscanboot not executed. i assumed that these configurations not loaded: # Run gettys in standard runlevels 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

Hi folks, I have a sophisticated question for which I can't find any hints on the web: If you configure init (via /etc/inittab) to respawn processes (like the getty processes) when they exit - how often does init check for the existence of such a process? Does it check actively at all or does it rely on some kind of inter process communication? I am not a programmer, so maybe the second

Hi, We are having a strange issue. If we run asterisk from /etc/inittab and then connect using asterisk -r, we don't see any logs coming in CLI. However logs are properly reported to /var/log/asterisk/messages and system is working fine. Now, if we run from command line (asterisk -f) and then usie asterisk -r, we properly see logs in CLI. This is bit strange and not able to solve this

The following patch allows OpenSSH 2.2.0-p1 to be started (and managed) from /etc/inittab (by "init") on systems which support that. This is useful when you *really* want SSHD to always run since it will be automatically restarted by "init" if it dies (and if "init" dies the the systems dies :-). I use a line (in /etc/inittab) like this on Solaris systems:
