Maybe it's specific to https (port 443 rather than regular port 80) routing or proxying? I don't use 2.1 or a proxy, so this is a wild stab-in-the-dark of a guess, but I hope it might be helpful. -- Best regards, James.

I believe NFS uses RPC, and that relies on the portmapper at port 111, from memory. So maybe that's it. I may have missed something else too as I've not actually tried setting it up myself (yet) but the above is a pointer for you. You're doing this forwarding through a secure tunnel using ssh, aren't you? If not, then _very_ scary because all your internal stuff is much more visible than you'd want it to be! If you're not already using ssh to forward through a secure tunnel, then check out ssh port-forwarding and use that. For definite :) Hope this helps. -- Best regards, James.

Currently i have install 2 nic cards into IBM Machine x255. Both card are running smoothtly but unfortunately one of the card fail to initialize the Dell NAS storage for NFS purposes. eth0 (built-in nic) is using 199.100.100.241 and eth1 using 202.100.100.10 via cross cable to Dell NAS storage. Problem description is per below. Problems: 1. IBM 225 not able to mount above NAS NFS drive at boot, fstab: powervault:/dataroot /dataroot nfs soft 0 0 but able to mount after system ready by command line. (# mount -t nfs powervault:/dataroot /dataroot) 2. IBM 225 NIC eth0 able to mount NFS drive, but NIC eth1 fail to mount NFS drive. (direct connection from IBM225 to NAS by cross cable with private LAN.) 202.100.100.10 connect 202.100.100.20 Current setup: 1. IBM 225 eth0 connected to Cisco switch(local LAN) 2.

If you have ssh configured right, and use key/certificate-based authentication instead of user-entered password, and set up a dedicated user account (with no other permissions) then perhaps scp would do the job for you? I would want to do this without a shell on the far machine, but I don't know scp well enough to know if it requires a shell -- a shell might be security risk, although the login credentials should be strong enough to give you some protection. Anyway, if you can get scp to do the job for you, it's more secure than using FTP. I have a few small files I have to transfer, and for those I encrypt using PGP (in my cron job) before using ncftpput to deliver the files to a location of my choosing. The files are examined by a human (if/when required) who knows the corresponding PGP private key. Hope one or other of these pointers helps. -- Best regards, James.

To answer your second question first -- Yes, rpm generally tries to restart things appropriately. However, if you've edited config files and the update wants the new config file it installed (usually ".rpmnew") to be effective for the update to be complete, you may need to intervene. I usually watch lists and servers to make sure I know what's being updated, doing some of it manually (have up2date set to download-only) and if a lot of things are updated I'll sometimes reboot. Usually, I just restart any services that I feel warrant it. As for your first question ... yes, good one! I have the same dilemma. I found that Update 1 for ES 3.0 already covers most of the updates, so using the latest Update instead of original ISOs is a good idea, of course. Beyond that, I took a pragmatic compromise approach. I really need to expose a newly installed machine to RHN for it to be able to see what needs updating. (The RHN software is open-source, so no doubt it's possible to compile the package-list offline and do it some other way, but I don't know and it might be complicated.) So, the compromise I came up with was to install the server offline initially, then configure firewall/routing so that the only Internet traffic that can get to/from the newly installed server is the correct RHN server on the right port. This is not entirely secure, but I figure it is more secure than the brick walls of my premises, for example. It's hard to crack and it would become very evident if it had been messed with before I depended on the server's integrity, I believe. This isn't a secure answer to your question, but it is simple and effective, and feels adequate to me. I'm not installing machines for multi-billion Euro transactions with some large financial institution though, so you choose! Hope this is at least of some help. In any case, I'll be watching the thread in case someone has a better idea. -- Best regards, James. ________________________________________________________________________ Axoria Ltd UK: Internet Security, Dynamic Websites, Software Engineering http://www.axoria.net/ E&OE From anilkumardahiya_ait at yahoo.com Wed Mar 3 21:47:40 2004 From: anilkumardahiya_ait at yahoo.com (anil dahiya) Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 13:47:40 -0800 (PST) Subject: [rhn-users] pseudo snull linux network device driver [ its urgent ] Message-ID: <20040303214740.9864.qmail@web61001.mail.yahoo.com> [ its urgent ] hi.. i am working on kernel 2.4.7-10 .. i am trying to write code for making pseudo linux network device driver for two virtual interfaces using orilley device driver book and source code.. if any body has written code for tht then plzz send it to me or if any body some useful link then plzz forward to me .....or tell me where i am wrong in my code ....my system goes to hang up when i issue a ping command... anil #define __KERNEL__ #define MODULE #include #include /* struct net_device & other headers*/ #include #include #include /* printk() */ #include /* kmalloc() */ #include /* error codes */ #include /* size_t */ #include /* mark_bh */ #include #include /* eth_type_trans */ #include /* struct iphdr */ #include /* struct tcphdr */ #include /* struct sk_buff */ #define SNULL_RX_INTR 0x0001 #define SNULL_TX_INTR 0x0002 /* CHECKSUM macro as defined in sk_buff.h #define CHECKSUM_NONE 0 #define CHECKSUM_HW 1 #define CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY 2 */ extern struct net_device snull_devs[ ]; /* struct used for statical info of any interface by inconfig command */ struct snull_priv { struct net_device_stats stats; int status; int rx_packetlen; u8 *rx_packetdata; int tx_packetlen; u8 *tx_packetdata; struct sk_buff *skb; spinlock_t lock; }; static int lockup = 0; MODULE_PARM(lockup,"i"); #define SNULL_TIMEOUT 5 /* in jiffies*/ #ifdef HAVE_TX_TIMEOUT static int timeout = SNULL_TIMEOUT; MODULE_PARM(timeout,"i"); #endif static int eth=0; MODULE_PARM(eth,"i"); int snull_eth; int snull_open(struct net_device *dev); void snull_interrupt(int irq,void *dev_id,struct pt_regs *regs); void snull_rx(struct net_device *dev,int len,unsigned char *buf); int snull_tx(struct sk_buff *skb,struct net_device *dev); void snull_hw_tx(char *buf, int len, struct net_device *dev); void snull_tx_timeout(struct net_device *dev); int snull_rebuild_header(struct sk_buff *skb); int snull_header(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev, unsigned short type, void *daddr, void *saddr, unsigned int len); struct net_device_stats *snull_stats(struct net_device *dev); int snull_release(struct net_device *dev); int snull_init(struct net_device *dev); int snull_config(struct net_device *dev, struct ifmap *map); int snull_ioctl(struct net_device *dev,struct ifreq *rq,int cmd); int snull_open(struct net_device *dev) { printk("snull_open \n"); memcpy(dev->dev_addr,"\0SNUL0",ETH_ALEN); dev->dev_addr[ETH_ALEN - 1] += (dev - snull_devs); /* the number */ netif_start_queue(dev); return 0; } int snull_config(struct net_device *dev, struct ifmap *map) { printk("snull_ifconfig is called"); if(dev->flags & IFF_UP) { printk("snull_ifconfig :device is UP"); return -EBUSY; } return 0; } int snull_ioctl(struct net_device *dev,struct ifreq *rq,int cmd) { return 0; } /* The interface interrupts the processor to signal one of two possible events : (1) a new packet is arrived or (2) transmission of outgoing packet is complete */ void snull_interrupt(int irq,void *dev_id,struct pt_regs *regs) { int statusword; struct snull_priv *priv; struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *) dev_id; printk(" snull_interrupt is called \n"); /* check with hw if it is really ours*/ if(!dev) { printk("hw is not ours\n"); return; } /* lock the device */ priv = (struct snull_priv *) dev->priv; spin_lock(&priv->lock); /* retrieve the statusword : real hardware use I/O instructions */ statusword = priv->status; if(statusword && SNULL_RX_INTR) { /* send it to snull_rx for handling arrived packet */ snull_rx(dev,priv->rx_packetlen,priv->rx_packetdata); } if(statusword && SNULL_TX_INTR) { /* transmission is over : free skb */ priv->stats.tx_packets++; priv->stats.tx_bytes += priv->tx_packetlen; dev_kfree_skb(priv->skb); } /* unlock the device and we are done */ spin_unlock(&priv->lock); return; } /* receiving a packet & send it to upper layers */ /* snull_rx is called after the hardware has received packet & it is already in comp memory */ void snull_rx(struct net_device *dev,int len,unsigned char *buf) { struct sk_buff *skb; struct snull_priv *priv = (struct snull_priv *) dev->priv; printk("snull_rx is called\n"); /* the packet has been reterived from the transmission medium .

Later versions of RHL / RHEL include Open Office (www.openoffice.org) which includes a presentation authoring application. Some people use Crossover Office (www.codeweavers.com) to use Microsoft products in a Linux environment. There are other options that I can't remember now. You might try searching on RHN for packages that contain "office" in the "name or summary" fields. My preference is to avoid Microsoft wherever possible and then to use the default Red Hat offerings wherever possible. (My primary goals and requirements are: dependability (most), and therefore other things like: security, reliability, compatibility, future-proofing mitigation, and it's also nice to be open source.) Open Office 1.1 is out, with some worthwhile improvements I hear, but last time I looked, Red Hat were not distributing it via RHN in any channels. It's available on Fedora, and presumably is on its way over to the RHN channels in due course. -- Best regards, James. ________________________________________________________________________ Axoria Ltd UK: Internet Security, Dynamic Websites, Software Engineering http://www.axoria.net/ E&OE From owyler at suscom-maine.net Wed Mar 3 22:18:18 2004 From: owyler at suscom-maine.net (Oswald Wyler) Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 17:18:18 -0500 (EST) Subject: [rhn-users] Powerpoint and RH In-Reply-To: <4046548C.7CE648B0@aslenv.com> Message-ID: In RHL 8.0, I have OpenOffice, and if I say: /usr/bin/ooffice foo.psp in the directory where foo.psp is located, the file is shown in Ghostview.

However, it only gets you the RPMs in use on that 'base' system. To counter this you can make a list of all available packages with --showall, then compare it to the RPMs you have already downloaded and saved. Something like this: up2date --showall | sort -u >all ls /myrpms | sed -s 's/\.rpm$//' >have comm -23 all have >want wc -l all have want | fgrep -v total You can then take the 'want' file and work from there. Note that past package versions, and different kernel version, must be downloaded manually via the RHN web site. There are also some minor discrepancies with IBMJava2, but that may not effect you. I still think the best approach would be to hack up2date to over come it's limitations.

The way I do it is to build the machine on my LAN, which is behind a NAT gateway as well as a typical firewall. By configuring the NAT gateway and firewall to restrict traffic to RHN (by IP address) and updating packages before moving the server to an Internet-facing position. The point is that being behind NAT, the machine is inaccessible anyway. It actually can't be directly addressed. So, the only traffic with it is the outbound-initiated HTTPS traffic with RHN, and that's tied to the IP Address for what it's worth, too. I feel that this combination is pretty safe. I can double-check md5sum values on CD's and package sigs if I want to be doubly careful, but I don't bother. My feeling is that spoofing the IP successfully, intercepting the HTTPS channel, trojaning the right packages on the fly, with the need to subvert the HTTPS encryption and authentication, at just the right time, is all really quite hard to accomplish, no? So, I would suggest proposing this scenario to your security people. I think it would be nice for the list if you could summarise what your security team feels about this kind of approach -- if I've overlooked something that they can identify, then that'd be valuable for me and others, I'm sure.

For example, the 2.4.20 kernel in RH 9 has the POSIX thread library - kernel.org doesn't have that until 2.6. At times, the RH kernel can look quite different to the stock kernel. It might be simpler in the end just to replace the old 2.4.9 RH-supplied kernel with the kernel.org 2.4.24 or whatever - this would probably fix a few other things as well, but of course, you would no longer have gen-u-wine RH AS 2.1 at the end of the process. The best way to apply a patch, if it's possible, would be to rebuild the kernel RPM - this makes it easier to deploy. In the past, out of sheer cussedness, I've installed RH 8 onto a 486/33, even though the lowest kernel supplied by RH is Pentium-specific. I had to rebuild the kernel RPM, targetted to i486, and then do a network install, but it worked.

Yup, same here - although I have a single CPU showing as two. Does the ES (available for 1-2 CPUs) run okay in this case, then? Presumably the limitation for "1-2 CPUs" refers to physical CPUs. My BIOS displays two (virtual) CPUs too, but I hear they really are just virtual as a result of HT. Before I realised, I did remove the lid to check I hadn't been supplied the wrong machine :) > > As for the memory use, Linux grabs a lot of RAM even when it's not > busy. It will be available for applications if required. This is one of the things I like about Linux. I have a wide variety of specs and find that my servers (not running X) tend to use "most" of the RAM most of the time. The more the O.S. can grab to improve operational efficiency, the better -- and it does -- and then once applications start to need it, no problem. Even after being left running for months or years, the machine is still happily ticking over with all the RAM used and barely any swap at all, even despite fluctuating loads and demands over time. All very sweet. Some X-based _applications_ are a bit more leaky, though. Evolution (yuk) and the RHEL stock text-editor (!) seem to leak like a sieve. Restart those every few days. And I even restart X ever week or few. The O.S. never seems to need rebooting. Hey, Linus... fancy rewriting X for us, too? ;) -- Best regards, James. ________________________________________________________________________ Axoria Ltd UK: Internet Security, Dynamic Websites, Software Engineering http://www.axoria.net/ E&OE From role.rhn-users at axoria.net Fri Mar 5 06:29:27 2004 From: role.rhn-users at axoria.net (rhn-users List Readers at Axoria Ltd) Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2004 06:29:27 +0000 Subject: [rhn-users] /usr/bin/top showing false values?

Currently it can only run on the RHN Proxy itself. There is an RFE to make it simular to RHN Satellite's rhnpush... which can run anywhere. -- ____________ /odd Warner Bit Twiddler - Operation Cheetah Flip - Red Hat Inc. ---------------------gpg info in the message headers-------------------- "If you're tired, keep going.

Sebastian, Beware of Apache and sendmail as they got upgraded to new versions somewhat incompatible with the ones on older RH Linux. We've been bit by a sendmail-ldap bug that prevents us from using 8.12.10 (had to install from RH9's 8.12.8). Denis -- Denis Beauchemin, analyste Universit? de Sherbrooke, S.T.I.

The reason RH doesn't install the newest version is that it contains more than security fixes, and it could impact your application. I believe this will/has changed in Fedora. > > What's the deal with this? Why aren't red hat installing the latest > versions automatically?

Just be sure to _read_ the security advisories from RedHat, which state: Users of the Apache HTTP Server should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain backported patches correcting these issues, and are applied to Apache version 2.0.40.

Yes, hardware's all fine ... done some tests on that side of things. Thanks for the feedback on things working. It is starting to look as though several problems are interplaying here. Still not sure about the vsftpd, but customer has _just_ told me his client end has had new routing / NAT hardware installed lately. Don't you just love it when they save that gem till last?!? Further testing may now reveal what's happening with the server!

To accomplish this, we edited /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/pam.d/login. This works marvelously with Advanced Server 2.1. However, with ES Release 3.0, if users log in with ssh, they are still bound by the (lower) default settings. To resolve this, we had to set "UseLogin yes" in sshd_config. Why is this?

Edit the /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file. The format goes something like this: - eth0 net 162.32.8.32/27 gw 162.32.8.10 ... which is a bit like the "route add" command, but slightly altered so it can be processed in a special way by the start-up scripts. I think there are a couple of special cases. If you can understand shell-scripts, then the thing that processes this config file is here: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network and you can inspect that. Hope this helps! -- Best regards, James. ________________________________________________________________________ Axoria Ltd UK: Internet Security, Dynamic Websites, Software Engineering http://www.axoria.net/ E&OE From febarco at colredes.com Fri Mar 12 14:57:48 2004 From: febarco at colredes.com (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Fabi=E1n_Eduardo_Barco?=) Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 09:57:48 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] attachment size in squirrelmail Message-ID: Hi, which is the default size for send atachment in squirrelmail? where do I setup the allowed size for attachments when I compose a new mail insquirrelmail? /etc/squirrelmail/config.php? which is the variable? thanks. fb -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Oh, that's curious. I have a stock installed RHEL 3.0 ES (Update 1) installed here that I checked and it's definitely reference in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network startup script, so that'd work. I just don't need to use static routes on any of the new hosts, but the code appears to be the same (presumably for backward-compatibility). Perhaps it gets even more fun than suspected! You're talking about RHEL 3.0 ES, aren't you? Maybe you were just looking in the ifup-routes? That doesn't reference the old file, but the network startup script would do the job instead ... maybe that's it. Oh well, I suspect the original enquirer now has more than enough tips to be getting on with!

After I put named into jail, named starts, and even LDAP starts in jail, but ldap is unable to write anything into database. It seems to me, that after the first fork or clone, when the offended service setuid to the apropriate user (named -> named, ldap -> ldap and so on ) it is unable to reach anything outside. If I start these services as root, then everything gets OK, exept apache, since can not be started as root obviosusly. Any idea ? Would be urgent. Thanks in advance.

I am looking into providing SMTP Auth to our clients, but after running a "sendmail -d0.1 -bv" to see the compiled in options, I notice that "STARTTLS" is not compiled into this rpm. I realize that I can rebuild this version with STARTTLS, or just upgrade to a newer version of sendmail and compile it in. This seems to defeat the purpose of using an OS like redhat enterprise linux, and paying for support. Then for every update that was released, I would have to recompile sendmail again. Would it be possible for redhat to recompile the package, and stick the new rpm (with STARTTLS compiled in) on the up2date servers, so we can grab it with our next up2date run. I wasn't sure which list to send this to, if I am in error here, please let me know. thanks, Stephen -- ---------------------------------------------------- Stephen Agar, Systems Administrator II University of Southern Mississippi, iTech e-mail: stephen.agar at usm.edu From taw at redhat.com Thu Mar 18 15:13:36 2004 From: taw at redhat.com (Todd Warner) Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 10:13:36 -0500 (EST) Subject: [rhn-users] Error after update In-Reply-To: <002001c40ca5$eeb4cce0$0601a8c0@hellnine> Message-ID: On Thu, 18 Mar 2004, Brando Tan wrote: > Good day ppl :) > > I've ran up2date earlier on to update several packages.

Would really appreciate any help. > > Thanks & regards, > Brando Sounds like something broke during installation of the package itself. up2date will stick that package in /var/spool/up2date prior to installation so the actual RPM should be OK. But let's try to have the non-X version of up2date install it: up2date XFree86-libs If that fails, look for the XFree86-libs RPM in that directory.

Ensure you choose the appropriate RPM for your distro version! NOTE: if "already" installed, you can do a --force, but I will not officially endorse that at this time. :) If there are dependency issues, I would try to resolve those first.

It turned out that there were two reasons for this: First, when rhnlib tried to CONNECT to the https proxy, it did not include the User-Agent: header (it's just the CONNECT http message that is missing this header). Second, I needed to change the user agent header used by rhnlib to an older string that was recognized by the proxy server. I made the required changes in the rhnlib, up2date and rhn-applet packages and have patches (and SRPMS for that matter) which (a) Fix the https proxy bug (b) Allow end-user configuration of the User-Agent header (c) Respect a userAgent setting in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date (d) Add a --userAgent command line option to up2date (e) Modify rhn-applet to use the userAgent setting and read the value out of ~/.rhn-applet.conf These currently only are known to work (for me) with RHEL 3.0 and the RHN back end, but it would probably not be difficult to make them work for other situations. I expect to forward these to Red Hat through our support contract, but I don't know if they'd accept them or how long it would be before they'd be available through there. There's at least one string that would have to be internationalized before it could be released to production. Anyway if anyone else would find these patches useful, please let me know, or if there is sufficient interest, I'll post them on this (or another if more appropriate) list. --Bob Drzyzgula From lesbell at lesbell.com.au Thu Mar 18 20:55:19 2004 From: lesbell at lesbell.com.au (Les Bell) Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 07:55:19 +1100 Subject: [rhn-users] Help Urgent Message-ID: Rama Chandrasekaran wrote: >> Also, the directory 'usr/src/linux' doesn't exist, I know it's supposed to be in the redhat directory, but I can't 'make' anything in there either. << Red Hat usually creates a symlink called "linux-2.4" rather than just "linux".

Perhaps another way would be to increment the version number of rhnlib with my changes (something I didn't presume to do in an unsolicited patch :-) and rewrite this stuff to be dependent on the value of, say, rhn.rpclib.__version__ instead of forcing the update in the spec file Requires or trapping an exception. --Bob From sonnyjz at isc.upenn.edu Sat Mar 20 03:11:22 2004 From: sonnyjz at isc.upenn.edu (Sonny Zambrana) Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 22:11:22 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] Setting 100mbit full duplex and gigabit full duplex Message-ID: <441B1D3C-7A1C-11D8-BCD2-000A958A3DDE@isc.upenn.edu> Hello running RHEL 3 AS and want to have the machine come up with 100baseTx-FD eth0 and 1000baseTx-FD on eth1 automatically after a reboot.

The socket server is a custom made tcp server. A number of clients can be connected to a server and each one is dedicated with a thread. Problem statement: We need to immediately (within a second) get notified when a client gets disconnected due to network problems or any other issues and handle the disconnected players differently. Testing methods :- a) Disabling the network at the client side b) Removing network connection at client side c) Disabling and immediately enabling network connection (the server has to identify disconnection and reconnection in the SEQUENCE ) Solutions adopted :- The following settings have been done at the socket server a) Setting socket options a. The socket option SO_KEEPALIVE is set on the socket b. Also system level parameters in syctl files of Linux is edited to the values Sys control setting Values Default Description net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time 1 sec 7200 Number of seconds to which non responding clients are assumed to be closed net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes 1 3 Number of ping probes before concluding that the connection is closes net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl 1 3 Interval between 2 ping probes Inferences:- a) It is found that the read loop fails in approximately 2 seconds and we are able to identify disconnection around 80-90 %f the time in 5 seconds. b) System wide setting of tcp keep alive time is causing frequent disconnection of the client when the client idles for more than 5-7 seconds and this is not acceptable c) Other network application sessions like ftp, telnet also times out very frequently d) Many of the time, the client (winsock2 implementation) is able to get notified about disconnection pretty in advance than the server about the same client. This causes our client gets reconnected before even server realise about the previous disconnection and this causes problems in the business implementation. - A disconnection by one client has to be broadcasted immediately to many clients e) we tried setting SO_LINGER option as well (oLinger.l_onoff = 1, oLinger.l_linger = 0;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suresh Thomas, Lead, AGA - a/c,Wipro Technologies 72, Electronics City, Bangalore 560 100, India.

You're probably talking about the SMP kernel which is used when you have 2+ cpus. Since w/ a hyperthreaded box you have at least 2 virtual cpus reported to the os, you can use the SMP kernel. Your mileage may vary with it. You can just boot into the uniprocessor kernel or you can disable HT in your bios (usually) if you want to test your machine out sans-HT. --Bret From rromano1 at netzero.net Wed Mar 24 16:49:17 2004 From: rromano1 at netzero.net (Geeknerd) Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 11:49:17 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] RedHat ES 3.0 - kernel problem In-Reply-To: <20040324152726.GC16762@blueraja.devel.redhat.com> References: <20040324152726.GC16762@blueraja.devel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <4061BC0D.7060707@netzero.net> Running RH ES 3 I have an AIX server running DNS.

As for your application crash problem, you may have an application bug in terms of synchronizing access to shared memory. There are locking protocols that work fine on a uniprocessor system but fail on an SMP system. In fact, you might have a sync bug that also manifests on a 1-processor system but just crashes much more often with two (virtual) processors. Proper shared memory programming can be non-trivial and with two processors, you're more likely to have two processes hitting the same structure at the same time. > Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 10:14:53 +0100 > From: espen.ekeroth at om.com > Subject: [rhn-users] RedHat ES 3.0 - kernel problem > To: rhn-users at redhat.com > Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > > > > The RedHat ES 3.0 is shipped with 2 different kernels: > > 2.4.21-9.EL > 2.4.21-9.EL.smtp > > Our server is a Compaq DL360 with 1 CPU. > > Default the installation uses the smtp version of the kernel.

I am not able to access a particular sub-directory on an nfs attached directory. All other sub-directories and files can be accessed. I see nothing different about the owner, group or attributes. This problem shows up for all machine attempting to connect to the file server. So it must be a problem with the nfs server. All user rights seem to be correct.

If you have other services configured (such as dhcp for example) you can also back up the configuration files for them also. You can also back up the entire /home directory. When you have re-installed from scratch it works best to open the smbpasswd, passwd and shadow files in a text editor like gedit and copy and paste the additional account information into the new files the install created. For user accounts you will probably need to manually set the ownership for each one as you restore accounts. This is a pain in the neck if you have a few hundred users but doesn?t take a horrendous time if you use the command line:- chown -vR username /home/username If you run and upgrade, to Red Hat 9 this will probably restore everything. Its worth a try.

If you really dont want to do any of this you should be able to track down where your system is having trouble. All the services that you mentioned have logs files and these should tell you what the problem is. Maybe try some of this first (even post to the group with questions) before you charge of down the reinstall path. Then again if you really want a more recent release then go nuts.... but I advise strongly against an upgrade on top of a system not working properly, this will probably make things worse, not better.

Basically I'm interested in having a bare minimum install(base and core sections in comps.xml) and then adding which ever services on top of that depending on the server(DNS, DHCP, HTTP, etc..) from either a kickstart file contained on the CD or by modifying the default install in a way to allow me to choose which I want to do and have it all contained on one CD. Anyone know of where to look? or if anaconda's docs will be sufficient? thanks, Mitch From ltrotter at ajusd.org Tue Mar 30 17:17:22 2004 From: ltrotter at ajusd.org (LONNIE TROTTER) Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 10:17:22 -0700 Subject: [rhn-users] Raid repair Message-ID: <20040330171331.M52586@ajusd.org> Has anyone experienced this. We had a server setup with physical space for six scsi hard drives. The first three were constructed as a RAID1 array while the last three were constructed as a RAID5 array. One of the drives in the RAID5 array failed and was not repairable. The failed drive was removed and a replacement drive put in its place, we booted into linux rescue and fdsik'd the drive creating a partition table exactly the same as the drive that had failed. Went to boot back in to Enterprise to raidhotadd the replacement harddrive to the RAID5 array, but enterprise would not let us do that. The RAID5 array would not start because there were only two drives available, if the broken drive was placed back in the raid would come up in degraded mode. The problem here is that we had no physical space to have both the failed drive and the replacement drive in at the same time. This meant that the raid would not start, preventing us from raidhotadding the replacement drive. As a result we copied the data off of the raid while it was in degraded mode, put the replacement drive in and rebuilt the raid array, then copied the data back onto it. This was quite time consuming as the data we were moving around was around 25 gigabytes.
