I'm only recently joined in, as I have started my sysadmin 'career' so late as this year! I'm jeaulous to see how long experience you all seem to have from this kind of work, but experience comes with age, and I do not posses too many years yet. But to the introduction point... I'm Joonas H?m?l?inen from Finland, located at quite central part of it currently. Done high school and same time some university studies, but then military service took me. There I managed to get myself in sysadmin/system tester position at Finnish Military Education Center, where I look over centralized education portal. After I got out of military at last August, I moved here. Got job with some luck as sysadmin in NettiTieto (NTG Finland internationally I think.) Currently I'm on trial basis here, but I hope I will stay here longer. Looking over computers here, doing updates, maintaince and installs. Also I have found myself doing coding for portal engines here. So sysadmin work experience is currently something like 7 months, and I like it this far. I have done this kind of things longer though, could say 6-7 years along side school. Hobbies... Tweaking own and friends computers, experiencing new software and ways to enjoy computers at free life. These days I have girlfriend, so computers are put a bit aside and I spend time with her. I also happen to be scout, so been camping and hiking in past. Oh, and someone asked does anyone have experience with IRIX. :) I have two SGI computers, one SGI Indigo and one SGI Indigo 2. I like them, especially 19" (Or was it even bigger... at least it is heavy, like whole computer!) screen Indigo2 happens to have :P Shame is that I haven't got them with me now, I do not wish to load all computers to my girlfriends parents house where I'm these days.

I started in "Fortune" (AT&T) Unix one day long ago, then SCO, and finally to the promised land of Linux. Been a lot of places, done a lot of things, but I'm brutally stranded here in a low-tech town. I was working in Chicago at Chicago's biggest lumberyard until Mom had a stroke and a fall. She's 74, and Dad's been gone for...I think it's 22 years, now. They're _just_now_ hearing about Linux here, now...mostly from me...and I'm a security guard on third shift. (Thank you, thank you- no autographs, just throw money...) It's been three years since I've had that full-throttle, all-day stress of problem solving and the rewards of fixing things. It's so depressing, I don't want to even talk about it. But I really love Redhat; I'm nowhere good enough to work for the company, and just about every kid outta school is better at the new stuff, but if I can find a way, I'll be using it, not Windows, the rest of my life. I have an idea for a networked Linux-at-Home service where people turn over their system maintenance over to us for a small price. More on that, as it develops. There's an IBM building here; you'd think I'd find some Linux work around here, too, but the search goes on.

Message-ID: <41F683F8.8010104@charter.net> This applies to RHEL ES 3.0 running on Dell PowerEdge machines. All of our ext3 filesystems (except /boot) are on logical voumes. As a general rule, I like to use FS labels whenever possible, just to avoid confusion. I don't want to remember which LV is /var; I just want to know it's the one with LABEL=/var. So I replaced all of the /dev/vg##/lvol## entries in my /etc/fstab file with LABEL=. So far, no problems. The system will boot like this. The problem happens after I upgrade the kernel. After upgrading the kernel, the kernel panics at boot time because it can't find the initrd image. After rescuing the system, rewriting the fstab so it no longer uses LABELs, and manually running mkinitrd for the new kernel, everything is back to normal. hrm. So it seems that using LABEL entries for logical volumes in fstab causes mkinitrd to create a broken img file (though it doesn't error out). Replacing the LABEL entries with /dev/vg##/lvol## and rerunning mkinitrd fixes this problem. Can somebody shed some light on what exactly went wrong here? I've had success running mkinitrd with LABEL entries before I was using LVM but it apears that LVM + FS labels + mkinitrd = kernel panic. What's broken and how do I fix it? - James Puellmann :wq From mbrodeur+rh at NextTime.com Wed Jan 26 00:45:48 2005 From: mbrodeur+rh at NextTime.com (Matt Brodeur) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 19:45:48 -0500 Subject: LVM and ext3 FS labels not playing nice?

First, as an alternate solution, I just give my LVs meaningful names. /usr would be in /dev/${HOSTNAME}VG/usr, etc. It's helped my sanity greatly. However, I think you've found a really odd bug. Looking at mkinitrd (it's just a shell script), it looks like the problem starts around line 438: 438 # check if the root fs is on a logical volume 439 elif ! echo $rootdev | cut -c1-6 |grep -q "LABEL=" ; then (load LVM modules into initrd) A few lines back it gleans $rootdev from fstab. So, if the first six characters of the root FS line in fstab are "LABEL=", it doesn't load the LVM modules. It's getting late, and I didn't spend much time testing, but I think this is it. Check for yourself, then file a bug with RH.

URL: From nbernstein at frontbridge.com Sat Jan 29 00:47:31 2005 From: nbernstein at frontbridge.com (Nick Bernstein) Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 16:47:31 -0800 Subject: OpenLDap Problems Message-ID: <003c01c5059c$20954e20$b301a8c0@internal.bigfish.com> Aside from some stuff a year or so ago during research into authenticating linux hosts against active directory (another job, don't ask), this is my first time setting up openldap. After reading the ldap quickstart, and skimming over the admin guide, and picking up the Oriley book, all of which pointed to a very simple setup, I figured it would be a cakewalk and after getting annoyed with progress on ES3, I was able to do the exact same sequence on Suse 9.2 in about 15 minutes and be able to browse tree, and query successfully.. Since I'm doing it on redhat es v. 3, however, it, of course, has to work oddly. :-) The final goal for this is to be able to use ldap for authentication. I'll go over the problem(s) first, and put the configuration stuff below. Love to hear what you guys (and gals) think. Basically here's what I did: (1) Setup /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (2) Authconfig info & auth both get ldap (localhost dc=shuba,dc=com) (3) Migrate_base > /tmp/base.ldif (4) Slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -x -v -l /tmp/base.ldif (5) Authconfig (turn shadow passwords off) (6) Cp /etc/passwd /tmp/shadowpass.txt (7) Migrate_passwd.pl /tmp/shadowpass.txt > /tmp/users.ldif (8) Slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -x -v -f /tmp/base.ldif (9) Slapcatt | more (looks good) (10) Service ldap start (/etc/init.d/ldap start) (11) Ldapsearch -x (see below for results) (12) Open a java ldap browser (connects, ONLY shows "dc=shuba, dc=com" - no children) (13) Try to connect using the Manager user, no dice. (PS) I looked through the archives, and didn't see anything, as well as going through google, and google news groups. If by some miracle, I've missed readily available answers there or in the FAQ, please accept my apologies in advance. TIA, Nick First ldapadd works oddly. An ldif that I can add with slapadd gives an error using ldap add. slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v -l /tmp/user.ldif added: "uid=foo,ou=People,dc=shuba,dc=com" (00000050) << changes foo->bar, and increase the uid/gid by one, same file >> [root at test1-int migration]# /etc/init.d/ldap start Starting slapd: [OK] [root at test1-int migration]# ldapadd -x -v -f /tmp/user.ldif ldap_initialize( ) add uid: bar add cn: adding with ldapadd add objectClass: account posixAccount top add userPassword: {SSHA}qaf5D6w/DGSY521JJu5gambxmBvadJyr add loginShell: /bin/bash add uidNumber: 1029 add gidNumber: 1029 add homeDirectory: /home/bar adding new entry "uid=bar,ou=People,dc=shuba,dc=com" ldap_add: Operations error ldif_record() = 1 for the record, btw, the last entry in the db, according to slapcat is: dn: uid=foo,ou=People,dc=shuba,dc=com uid: foo cn: adding with ldapadd objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top userPassword:: --snip -- loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 1028 gidNumber: 1028 homeDirectory: /home/foo So that's the first thing.

Following is a simple piece of perl code that causes my system (RHAS 3.0) kernel panic everytime it is run with cron! When I run it manually as root everything runs as it should and no panic.... The system is running MailScanner and acts as a mail gateway and this code is part of a stats program called Vispan. Ive told this to the guy developing it but he seems to hav no idea why this happens and may others run it whitout this problem. The system is U4 and has only rpms installed except for these two programs and ClamAV. Just wonderng if anyone on this list is a perlguru and have intimate knowledge of RH systems and might have a look:-) Here is the code which only task is to print the footer of the html pages for the Vispan stats: #sub PrintEnd { # local($handle) = @_; # my $line; # my $Footer = Config::Value(Footer); # # if(open(FOOTER,$Footer)) { # @footer=
