Its a standard way of keeping your clocks synced. You'll want to use some of the public NTP servers like time.nist.gov or the public ntp pool servers. RH EL3 and 4 provide nice utilities for doing this automatically through redhat-config-date or system-config-date. -Brian On Fri, 2005-07-29 at 16:18 -0400, Kathi Gifford-Hauser wrote: > Hi, > What can be used for an external server to sync up the time on a server as > it continually drifts. > > _______________________________________________ > rhn-users mailing list > rhn-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

I do think that the {normal|easy|recommended} way of configuring things should at least be mentioned. As it turns out, there is a system-config-time and a system-config-date. They appear to do the same thing, both in TTY and GUI. I'm confused. Bug reports submitted -- one for --help failure and one for lack of man page.

The network seems to timeout and kill the process. Let me get into specifics so that I don't confuse anyone: Server = Gandalf (SuSe Linux) PC = Frodo (Red Hat Enterprise 3) Network = GB Ethernet While logged onto Frodo, I automount /net/gandalf, which is the /arena3/remote directory on Gandalf. I can cd into this directory and create files and sub-directories as any user with no problem. I open the application called spm on Frodo and run a report that takes about 20 minutes and accesses files back and forth between Frodo:/usr/local/spm and Gandalf:/arena3/remote. I thought it just might be a problem with the spm application so I tried to copy 10 GB of data over from Frodo to Gandalf but I consistently got I/O errors (eg. cp:cannot create regular file '/net/gandalf/./testDir/01/doc.pps': Input/output error). During this error, I notice that the /var/log/messages state that the nfs server timing out. (eg. Feb 15 14:39:19 frodo kernel: nfs: server gandalf not responding, timed out).

Since it's been addressed, let's let fly with the atomic clock suggestions! Seriously, it's interesting to learn about how far people will take the quest for an accurate clock. The variety of hardware is quite daunting -- while we're on the subject, does anyone know of any relatively cheap good timekeeping hardware? I didn't mean to be a threadkiller, just wanted to make sure the quick-and-cheap was covered.

Get your hands on the program `xkeycaps` (should be part of the system already, otherwise, google for it...) It provides a virtual variant of rougly all keyboards and it can remap unused keys on your keyboard to the key you need.

We use IBM ServRAID cards, there is support in RHEL for them. They also have a very nice linux-bootable configuration CD, a Java GUI that runs on RedHat, and a nice command-line interface. The 2 factors that will affect RAID performance the most and hence a major factor in selecting a RAID card are (1) The clock speed of the chip on it. (2) The amount of cache on it, typically 64Mg - 128Mg, and whether or not the cache is backed up by a battery. The most important thing for performance consideration is what RAID level you are going with. I've found that RAID-1 or RAID-10 is about 20-50% faster than a RAID-5.

I am running RHEL 4 WS on a Dell Inspiron 9300, which happens to be a multiboot system. It has a built-in Conexant "modem" with no on-board DSP. I have a Zoom 3075L (V.92) with DSP for the PCMCIA slot. WinXP has no problem recognizing and using either modem. Kudzu is apparently panicked by the modems; it makes rather arbitrary declarations about their presence or absence, often in conflict with the brute facts. While the PCMCIA modem is installed, and kudzu has acknowledged the presence of two generic modems (one presumably the Conexant thing, the other the PC Card modem), the GUI hardware survey app only acknowledges the presence of one generic modem. I don't particularly want to use the softmodem in linux; if the solution configures the system to be blind to it, that's fine.

At some point in time, I started receiving messages saying that the eth0 device could not be activated because some other host already uses the static IP address. I can connect the machine to the network using DHCP, indicating to me that this is not a hardware problem. In one of my attempts to debug the problem I successfully put a Windows machine on the network with my static IP address. This seems to indicate that this is not a problem with the network. In an attempt to resolve this problem I decided to upgrade the Fedora installation to Red Hat AS4. Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. The AS4 machine will successfully connect to the network using DHCP, but attempting to use my static IP address results in an error message saying that some other host already uses that address. Here is a summary of my problem and experiences. The Fedora machine successfully connected to the network, using the static IP address for over a year. Sometime around May 2005, it started to fail saying that some other host already uses that address. The Fedora machine can connect to the network using DHCP. After upgrading to AS4 the same problem persists. Windows machines can connect to the network using either DHCP or the static IP address. Any ideas about how I might resolve this problem or the steps that I might take to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

Have you actually looked around your network to see if some other machine is using the address? 'arp' will help you identify the hardware address of the machine using that address.

I had not tried 'arp.' If I am interpreting the output correctly I do not believe that there is a device on the network with my static IP address. I believe that my experience successfully connecting a Windows machine to the network using the static IP address confirms this observation. FWIW, with the Windows machine on the network with the static IP I can do things like 'ping' and 'traceroute' successfully to the machine. Working with the network admin people, I have actually tried a block of IP addresses which all failed. I am considering installing an older version of Fedora, that I know worked at one time, to see if this is a software problem. Thanks again for your ideas.

I'll keep you posted if you like when I get responses, or you can submit a ticket of your own. ... Now I'm depressed.

It's vague on which position he holds currently, but neither of them speaks well for Red Hat support when someone in that position blows the customer off with a response that they didn't even bother to confirm. Sigh. Now that I think about it, for me this issue started during an RHN outage.

We also have a few desktop machines that have lost the "Red Icon"; it has turned grey. A support person said this happens with large updates and power cycling or re-registering should fix it.

I just now noticed a another 5-10 minute outage as well. In addition I found the following (I will be trying it soon, but the first part I've already done, so maybe my RPM DB's are corrupt?) on this problem: ###################################################### My systems are not checking in. What does that mean? When the RHN client connects to RHN to see if there are any updates available, or if any actions have been scheduled, this is considered a checkin. If you are seeing a message indicating that checkins are not happening, it means that the RHN client on your system is not successfully reaching Red Hat Network for some reason. Things to check: * Make certain that your client is configured correctly. * Make sure that your system can communicate with RHN via SSL (port 443). You may test this by running the following command from a shell prompt: telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443 * Make sure that the rhnsd daemon is activated and running. You may ensure this by running the following commands: chkconfig --level 345 rhnsd on service rhnsd (re)start The other possibility is that the rpm database on your machine is corrupt. This isn't a crisis and can be repaired, see below: ##################################################### How do I repair a corrupt RPM database? Occasionally, the RPM database on a Red Hat Linux machine will become corrupt. This usually happens when an RPM transaction is interrupted at a critical time. Symptoms of this problem include one of the following programs not responding or freezing: * up2date * The RHN alert notification tool (applet in the Gnome or KDE panel) * rhn_check * rpm This problem can also cause a system to stop checking in with RHN. To fix this problem, run the following commands as root: * kill all RPM processes (rhn_check, up2date, rpm, rhn-applet): $ ps -axwww | grep rhn_check In the list of processes, the first number on each line is the PID. For all PIDs listed except for the one associated with grep: $ kill -9 Repeat the above steps for each of the programs listed. * remove any RPM lock files (/var/lib/rpm/__db*): $ rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db* * rebuild the rpm database: $ rpm --rebuilddb ######################################################### Marty On Wed, 2005-08-10 at 11:30 -0400, Hosey, Chester wrote: > I am.

All services were running, and rhn_check would succeed. I eventually restarted rhnsd, which has so far solved the problem. However, the complete lack of useful logging done by rhnsd makes it quite difficult to tell where the original instance is failing. Restarting the service or machine seems like a temporary fix at best; if people pay for system management through RHN, that's what they should be getting. > To fix this problem, run the following commands as root: > > * kill all RPM processes (rhn_check, up2date, rpm, rhn-applet): > $ ps -axwww | grep rhn_check > In the list of processes, the first number on each line is the PID.

I'm still waiting to see what Red Hat's finest has to say about the issue. Thanks for the response.

I then booted the system with ES4 in slot zero, and ES3 in slot one. The OS had problems finding files in the separate partition of /var. I then removed the ES 3 in slot one and the system booted. I booted single user and the system with the ES 3 disk in slot one(the 2nd slot) and then removed all of the partitions on the 2nd disk. Rebooted things were fine. Used dd: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb Rebooted and again had problems with the /var partion not being there. I moved the contents of the /var partition to a directory /var on the r/oot disk. Then the system complained about certain files being 'read-only'. I had to again removed the 2nd disk in order to boot the system all the way to multi-user state.

All services were running, and rhn_check would succeed. I eventually restarted rhnsd, which has so far solved the problem. However, the complete lack of useful logging done by rhnsd makes it quite difficult to tell where the original instance is failing. Restarting the service or machine seems like a temporary fix at best; if people pay for system management through RHN, that's what they should be getting. > To fix this problem, run the following commands as root: > > * kill all RPM processes (rhn_check, up2date, rpm, rhn-applet): > $ ps -axwww | grep rhn_check > In the list of processes, the first number on each line is the PID.

I'm still waiting to see what Red Hat's finest has to say about the issue. Thanks for the response.

It's probably much easier to download Red Hat's ISO images from RHN. Log into RHN, and choose "Channels". Choose the base channel for the product you wish to install (for instance, "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 for 32-bit x86)". You'll see a "Downloads" link above the channel details. Load that page, and you'll see ISOs available for download. I apologize if there is some reason why you might not be able to download the ISOs (bandwidth restrictions, for instance), but if you have bandwidth and a RHN subscription that's probably the easiest way to obtain ISO images.

URL: From serafim at nada.kth.se Tue Aug 16 19:09:48 2005 From: serafim at nada.kth.se (Serafim Dahl) Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 21:09:48 +0200 Subject: [rhn-users] ssh on redhat enterprise server hangs Message-ID: <430239FC.4040609@nada.kth.se> I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 5) on a Dell server with openafs and local filesystem. It is connected to a fairly large network with red hat linux work stations and solaris machines on it. All run a mix of openafs and local file system. Authentication is made with kerberos against a server residing in the afs portion of the file system. Many students log in to the server via ssh for various reasons and if they don't log out properly but only close down the terminal window they used to connect to my server there will be a number of processes that hang. These processes cannot be contacted and they don't die. They are allways in pairs, one parent process that belongs to root and one child process that belongs to the person that logged in. If I try to kill them there is no respons from the parent processes and the child processes become "defunct". If there are more than five such process pairs sshd waits forever when someone makes a new login attempt. It works fine to login with kerberised telnet. I cannot reboot by the command "reboot", it hangs too - probably waiting for sshd that will not shut down. I can, however, issue a "init 6" which reboots the server. I found a bug report and used the suggested remedy - issue a shopt -s huponexit in /etc/bashrc and ClientAliveInterval 15 ClientAliveCountMax 4 in /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config to make sshd kill clients after a minute if they don't respond to "are ou alive" questions. It still doesn't work and I'm somewhat new in this field. Can someone suggest a solution?

However, every time I try it, the machine boots as if it's doing a manual install and prompts for the language (even though the language is specifically stated on the form I filled out on the RHN site to create the kickstart). The kickstart was told to use the machine's existing profile for the upgrade. Checking the logs shows a message "no appropriate device for kickstart method is available" with no other errors to indicate what device it can't find or anything. Anyone have any ideas where to look? Googling for that error message didn't turn up much, and the little bit it did turn up was stuff with trying to compile custom drivers for Red Hat Linux 7.1, which is quite old these days. -- Dave Miller http://www.justdave.net/ System Administrator, Mozilla Foundation http://www.mozilla.org/ Project Leader, Bugzilla Bug Tracking System http://www.bugzilla.org/ From Christoph.Doerbeck at FMR.COM Tue Aug 16 19:16:45 2005 From: Christoph.Doerbeck at FMR.COM (Doerbeck, Christoph) Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 15:16:45 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Making mknod in Kickstart "stick" Message-ID: What version of RedHat Linux are you using?

You can protect yourself from Xapps by not allowing the users to set the DISPLAY variable, not allowing them to call x-executables, making sure xhost is set to "xhost -" not allowing any remote users to pull a x-console, set xauth to disallow users from launching x-windows, building their accounts to only have access/rights to what they need. If you chroot jail them to a directory that doesn't have x-apps in it, they shouldn't be able to pull any across the wire. Also setting permissions on such apps (chmod, chown) will keep them from executing them. If you folks feel comfortable allowing remote users to use telnet, great. But you have to remember once you've opened that port, anyone can call on that port, not just the vpn users. All-in-all you'll have a ton of security review and configuration to do to build a secure box. I hope this helps....I didn't what to "stifle" your project!! --Mike.

I'm jumping in here but my comment isn't really directed at Frank's remarks so much as to why the source of the confusion doesn't just fix it. I still get the old invalid group id server-cfg on some machines too. While it all appears to be meaningless, it generates so many questions and concerns among end users that I think it would be swell if Red Hat would fix these from time to time. I think I have better things to do that edit files to fix it until the next update or answer a zillion questions about why up2date is broken when it isn't. Can it really be that hard to fix upstream?

When daemon create packet to deliver packet to another local daemon, packet will pass thought INPUT chain then routing decision then OUTPUT chain and finally to another local daemon So below following 2 rule is make sense iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT But following rule below i have seen many example have include this rule but i think its dont need ( i try generate many packet locally but it not pass FORWARD chain) If its need This rule for enable loopback , i dont know which type of packet match this rule ? iptables -A FORWARD -o lo -j ACCEPT Becase all packet that pass FORWARD chain should not created from local daemon ? And packet that generate locally and deliver to another local daemon should pass only INPUT then routing decision and finally to OUTPUT ? So Can i omit this rule iptables -A FORWARD -o lo -j ACCEPT ( many Document said this for enable loopback) but i think it need only 2 rule ( for INPUT and OUTPUT) ? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

If you are able to use up2date tool with RHEL ES 4.0 then you dont need to download RHEL ES 4.0 update1. Since you are making updates then you dont need any updates like this. This kind of ISO images just for new installation cause assume that you are using RHEL ES 3.0 and now there is update 5 for it and when you ran up2date tool you have to update too many packages. Instead of doing this you can download update 5 ISO if you gonna make a new installation. Thats why there are update ISO's, if you have RHN connection as I said you already updated :) Regards Ali Erdin?

There may be one exception. By default, kernel updates are excluded. You may need to download the kernel RPM from RHN and install it manually, or remove it from the skip list using up2date-config.

Try "/usr/sbin/rhn_check" -- rhnsd (the process that initiates check-in) basically executes rhn_check periodically. If the system checks in successfully, you'll either see some messages about what was done during check-in or no output at all (which indicates that nothing needed to be done). If the check-in is successful, try restarting rhnsd with /etc/init.d/rhnsd restart. If you see any error messages, that should provide some direction as well. Paste output to the list, and perhaps someone can help. Or you could contact Red Hat support -- if you pay for it, you may as well use it!

You can decrease the checkin period so you won't have to wait a few hours to see whether things are back to normal. Edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd, and set INTERVAL to 1. Restart rhnsd. If checkins succeed, reset INTERVAL (so as not to load RHN) and restart rhnsd again.

I agree with you -- the point isn't that you can work around it, but that it shouldn't be broken in the first place. Discussion on this list will probably get you to a workaround, but if you want Red Hat to know about (and hopefully correct) the issue you'll want to contact them directly. By the way, I just noticed a random coolness in Evolution -- you can select message text, and when you click "reply" only that text will be quoted. Neat.

I'm not sure what reflection[s]X is, but if it's using the first X display you might try starting X with "startx -- :1" to try another.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this? FYI, This list is for users of Red Hat Network. Your question isn't related to RHN, so it's unlikely that you'll find much help here. You might find someone able to provide assistance on taroon-list, which is the RHEL 3 discussion list. They're generally friendly folks there, expecially if you're willing to ask detailed questions and provide specific information. Good luck!

If the system disk failed and took a long time, it wouldn't be that unsurprising that the server hung. I assume if its not responding, but now finished its resync, you tried restarting it? How many disks failed? ****************************************** The information contained in, or attached to, this e-mail, may contain confidential information and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed and may be subject to legal privilege.

When setting up RHN the first time, one gets the Red Hat Network Configuration window... I have a question about - under the Retrieval/Installation tab, the "Do not upgrade packages when local configuration file has been modified" selection. If this _is_ selected, and I modify my ssh_config, or sshd_config file, will up2date/rhn warn me that this package has available updates? If this _is NOT_ selected, does it copy the old config? It does warn that if things like Apache and Squid have been installed (I assume via rpm package) that one might not want config files moved and new default ones installed... understandable for some servers, but not all cases... I don't seem to find this information in the RHN documentation. https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/ref-guide/3.7/s1-up2date-config.html Maybe the consequence of both selecting and not selecting could be more clear in the docs?

I cannot log in remotely, I have to go to the server. The message on the screen reads: "Raid 5: Resync finished ". From what little I've read it appears it is just trying to resync a few files across the software raid to mirror the drives. What if anything could be causing it to not respond?

So I downloade gstreamer-0.8.10 from linuxfromscratch.org and noticed that it needed: glib-2.6.4/ libxml2-2.6.20/ and pkgconfig019/ So I proceeded to update the system with those pieces from linuxfromscratch.org. Upon building libxml2 (./confgure && make ), I received the following error: ./.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_getspecific' ./.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_once' ./.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_key_create' ./.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `pthread_setspecific' I then configured it to not use threads and the build worked for libxml2 (using: configure --with-threads=no). HOWEVER, now the flumotion-0.1.9 doesn't build with a problem in libxml2 (some unresolved methods). Couple of questions here: 1) My goal is to get some video (webcam) server software installed so I can attach a webcam with audio (the logitech Quickcam pro4000) and server up applet session to clients browsing the internet. Is there an easier way that what I am going through? Recommended software/configuration...etc? 2) I am using RH WS, is that the problem with the threads not being supported? 3) if #2 is not the problem, then how can I get pthreads working on my machine, so that it will work with the above configuration? 4) any helpful thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
