Huh? I find that very difficult to believe unless there's a grub password set that they also have forgotten. All they need to do is: 1) Boot 2) When grub displays its menu, hit any key (I use the spacebar) 3) Use the arrow keys and scroll down to the kernel they're booting 4) Hit "E" 5) Use the arrow keys and scroll to the "kernel=" line 6) Go to the end of that line and add " single" (a space and the word "single") to the end of the line. You can use the "END" key on the keyboard to get to the end of the line or use the right arrow. 7) Hit "ENTER" to save the change 8) Hit "B" and the system should boot to single user mode Note that this only works for this boot cycle as no changes were made to the grub.conf file. > i am > sending a boot floopy for the FC2 system that i sent her.

However, apache is still running the old php version 2.1.6 (without soap). I think the problem occurred because I was unable to use the flag "--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs" with the php install since that file does not exist in the RHEL version of apache. Any idea how I can get apache to recognize and use the new install of php with soap enabled. Please remember, this is a dev box so we have let the subscription expire, consequently I cannot use 'yum' Thanks - Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you haven't created the partitions, then you must use fdisk first. At the least, I would recommend you run it against the disk to see if anything is there, and if so, what type it is. If it's not ready for an ext3 filesystem, you're going to have some interesting events happen.

It isn't absolutely necessary. You must use fdisk if you want to create and use partitions on the SAN volume (e.g. "mke2fs -j /dev/sdx1"). If you intend to use the whole thing you can put the filesystem on the device (e.g. "mke2fs -j /dev/sdx") and there's no need for fdisk. I might recommend you label the filesystem as well (use the "-L name" option). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - All generalizations are false. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From dcalhoun at blomand.net Tue Feb 12 03:48:02 2008 From: dcalhoun at blomand.net (Dennis D.

I partition my drives with two 100MB partitions for alternative boot filesystems, and all the rest is one large partition which is devoted to the physical volume. Then I allocate logical volumes as desired for /, /home, /var/log, /var/spool, /var/www, and so on. One caution - you should probably make another small, say, 2GB partition for /, and put, say, /usr in a logical volume, because LVM keeps its information in /etc, and it really doesn't like mucking with an LV containing its data. I've not had to resize a root filesystem, yet, so I've not been bitten by this problem. But I keep duplicate root filesystems, so I can always boot to the alternate to resize the current one. > Afterword: I don't know enough about the current Linux offerings to know > whether or not any Flavor of Linux can boot from a Logical Volume, but I > do know that Windows, of any flavor, cannot.

You're correct, no OS can boot from a logical volume. Booting requires the BIOS to be able to access the data directly. I don't know of any PC-type BIOS that groks logical volumes. Even in the Linux world there are two types of logical volume systems, LVM1 and LVM2 (kernel 2.6 and later) and they're not compatible (LVM1 systems can't talk to LVM2 volumes and vice-versa). You could convert LVM1 to LVM2, but not back. The BIOS must be able to decipher how the LVMs are structured to access the data and as I said, I know of no BIOS that can do it. If you toss Windows LVMs into the mix (or BSD LVMs or Solaris LVMs or whatever), a BIOS would have a really hard time. So, to boot, the BIOS must see a regular partition, pull in the appropriate level 1 boot loader and run it. Level 1 code can only occupy a maximum of 512 bytes (one disk block), so it's operation is limited. Typically, the level 1 code then brings in the level 2 code, which in turn loads and starts the kernel (in Linux, it really uses a level 1, level 1.5 and a level 2...you really don't need to know why there's three, just trust me on that). That all being said, this does NOT mean that the root file system cannot be on a logical volume. Once the kernel starts up (remember, it was loaded by the level 2 boot loader and comes from the standard /boot partition), it can load the LVM management modules from the ramdisk image (also on the standard /boot partition) and access them. In these types of operations, the ramdisk image would normally contain the LVM modules, SCSI driver (if needed) and any special filesystem modules (for example, the ext3 filesystem).

Config_HZ is the setting for the kernel's internel frequency and correcting for lost timer interrupts. Currently the choices are 100, 250 and 1000. The 2.6 kernel started using 1000 by default and apparently this can cause issues with VMWare Server.

Hackers...Yum update Probably classic ssh attack. I use these rules in iptables to block that sorta thing: # This rejects ssh attempts more than twice in 180 seconds... # First, mark attempts as part of the "sshattack" group... -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -m recent --name sshattack --set # Optional: Include this line if you want to log these attacks... -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -m recent --name sshattack --rcheck --seconds 180 --hitcount 2 -j LOG --log-prefix "SSH REJECT: " # Finally, reject the connection if more than one attempt is made in 180 seconds... -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -m recent --name sshattack --rcheck --seconds 180 --hitcount 2 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset If someone tries to ssh more than once in 3 minutes, it blocks their IP for 3 minutes. The second rule logs these occurrances. You can tweak the timeouts by adjusting the "--seconds" parameter and the attempts by tweaking the "--hitcount" parameter (e.g. "--seconds 300" for five minutes instead of three minutes). > Which log can I look at to see WATZ-UP? /var/log/secure is the first place. Also the output of dmesg and /var/log/messages. Make sure you don't permit root ssh access and if they want root, force them to "sudo bash" (which also creates a syslog entry). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - UNIX is actually quite user friendly.

The website is a bit involved with apache 1.3, mysql 3.x, php 4.x and xml/xsl. I have had the hosting facility set up a new server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x, apache 2.x, php 5.x, mysql 5.x. Does anyone know of a guide for upgrading Red Hat to a new server? (ie steps to take, files to transfer etc...) I already know about the issues involved with upgrading mysql 3.x to mysql 5.x (some 'normal' column names are now reserved words in mysql 5.x). and I am sure I will run into other specific issues, but I am looking for a generic guide that I can use as a roadmap.

We have purchased this for one of our servers and got it preinstalled. So I tried to register it with up2date. I have received the "Red Hat login creation request" and "New Subscription Activation" emails, then I have create the account and in the Customer Center I see (surprisingly) two subscriptions - "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS Academic Edition Serviced System" and "Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Academic Edition)" with Installation Numbers. Now I have tried to register with up2date and get the "Insufficient Software Channel Entitlements: cfid5488 Red Hat...All available subscriptions for the requested channel have been exhausted" error. I must mention that I have succeeded with registering once before but the system did not appeared in the RHN and I have tried to reregister it. Now I see no systems in RHN, in the Customer Center I see "You do not currently have any web support entitlements" (does this mean that I have no support?) and can't download updates with up2date L Does anybody have any advice?

Some of us are trying to sleep. Alright, since everyone's now up, here's something that someone might know the answer to: Is it possible to get a kickstart install to understand 802.1Q (VLAN tagging)?
