I poked around > in the Apache 2 source a bit as well and it appears that the ldap > module is still marked as ???experimental???. I've been using it and haven't had any troubles with it. I am compiling apache by hand from apache source tarball though and using the following configure options: --with-ldap --enable-ldap --enable-auth-ldap I've never built from a SRPM, but probably you could change the configure options and rebuild from SRPM. Possibly have to redo this every time a new version of httpd was released though. Since auth_ldap was rolled into the apache code base, I don't think you can build the auth_ldap source tarball and get it to work with Apache 2.0 (auth_ldap doc site says unreleased developer version 1.7 will work, but I'd rather just use what is in Apache). There is also the mod_authz_ldap (which I didn't like and never figured out how to configure using groups the way I wanted) which would be supported by RedHat and might work for you.

We have a lot of vhosts, and they all want their own logs, so we used the SetEnv VLOG / piping to split-logfile method of logging; that is, we set VLOG globally and piped the output to split-logfile to get logs like VLOG-2004-01-www.myhost.com.log for each vhost. This was immensely helpful with our log analysis and archiving tools. However, that isn't working on the new server. VLOG log files aren't getting written. Here's what I've tried: * Turning up the error level on the error log (which is working). It doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. * Using a combined log file. The combined logfile writes properly, but that won't work for our setup. * Checking directory permissions. Everything's okay, like I said the combined log file and error log files operate normally. * Manually calling the split-logfile script and injecting a couple of made-up log lines. That works correctly too, the made-up lines are appended to the appropriate VLOG file. * Putting some bad syntax into the split-logfile script and seeing what happens. The error log starts filling up with "script failed unexpectedly" messages, so apparently the server is calling the script. Here's the relevant lines of httpd.conf. They're copied verbatim out of our old apache2.conf and placed at the end of the new httpd.conf, so I know they aren't getting overriden by anything. LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" VLOG=%{VLOG}e" vhosts SetEnv VLOG "" CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/split-logfile" vhosts env=VLOG All other CustomLog directives are commented out, and that's the only SetEnv VLOG directive present.

I am using Dell 1750 RHEL3.0 and it uses the tg3 driver and ethtool indicates 1000Mb/s. I also have a 1750 running RHEL2.1 and it uses the BCM5700 driver.

I'm posting it in the hope it will be useful to others: If the server doesn't support TCP, the mount command from client fails. mount -o tcp hostname:/mnt/dir /mnt/dir1 this will fail with an error message. Some versions of the kernel doesn't have the support for NFS over TCP compiled into the kernel. Support can be added by custom building a kernel. I used "make xconfig" to edit the configuration file used to build the kernel. In the main menu choose File systems, then Network File Systems and then select "y" for the option "Provide NFS server over TCP support (Experimental)" After building the kernel, issue mount -o tcp from NFS client to use NFS over tcp. To verify if the client is indeed using TCP check the /proc file system. cat /proc/nfsd-pid/mounts to find nfsd-pid: ps -aux | grep nfsd Hope this helps! Raj ?

First verify the maximum [rw]size of NFS server by checking the NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE, found in the Linux kernel source file ./include/linux/nfsd/const.h. If it is defined as "#define NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (8*1024)", change that to #define NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (32*1024) and recompile the kernel. [root at raj nfsd]# grep NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE const.h #define NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (8*1024) [root at raj nfsd]# After compiling and booting with the new kernel check NFS server supports 32k block size by mounting an export point: [root at raj nfsd]# mount -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768 127.0.0.1:/home /mnt/win1 [root at raj nfsd]# cat /proc/2868/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home ext3 rw 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 127.0.0.1:/home /mnt/win1 nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,lock,addr=127.0.0.1 0 0 2868- pid of nfsd. Use the following command to find pid of nfsd. ps-aux | grep nfsd If the server doesn't suppor 32k block size, mount command with [rw]size 32k will simply succeeds. NFS client uses the max size supported by NFS server. Easy wa to verify it is using the /proc file system as shown above.

But is const.h the only file I should change to make the NFS server support 32K size? Is there an easy way to verify if the NFS server is indeed serving NFS clients with 32K? Should I also modify const.h on all NFS client machines also? I'm using RHEL3 and the kernel version is 2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp.

The /etc/named.conf has been modified and rpm basically saved the original file as named.conf.rpmsave. The named server was stopped (I think).

This is the purpose of rhnsd. However, I have found it more reliable to simply run /usr/sbin/rhn_check from cron. Digging through the rhnsd source code, it appears to do three things: 1) Call rhn_check every 120 minutes. 2) Jitter the 120 min delay time slightly so not all hosts slam the RHN servers all at once. 3) provide some very limited logging.

The default rhnsd runs for every 4 hours. Updates were not installed when I started rhnsd and left it running for a day and there's nothing in the /var/log/message except it is running rhn_check.

No, rhnsd and rhn_check simply poll the RHN server and see if there are any pending actions scheduled that it needs to pick up and run. If you do not schedule an update, install, package-list refresh, etc.. through the RHN website than rhnsd and rhn_check will not do anything when they poll. -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby uga enterprise information technology services production systems support metaphysically wrinkle-free ------------------------------------------- From nhruby at uga.edu Tue Jan 18 00:54:03 2005 From: nhruby at uga.edu (nathan r. hruby) Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 19:54:03 -0500 (EST) Subject: [rhn-users] rhnsd daemon update In-Reply-To: <20050117162725.GC8317@northwestern.edu> References: <20050117162725.GC8317@northwestern.edu> Message-ID: On Mon, 17 Jan 2005, Jesse Becker wrote: > I've had the rhnsd program freeze on me enough times that I no longer use it. > Instead, I have the following in cron, and it seems to work well: > Hmm...

I think that it may only apply security updates automatically, and not bugfix updates (as distinguished in RHN). However, I am not completely sure abotu this. > The default rhnsd runs for every 4 hours. Updates were not You are correct. The default delay is 240 minutes--4 hours. > installed when I started rhnsd and left it running for a day and there's > nothing in the /var/log/message except it is running rhn_check. > Furthermore, when I ran rhn_check -v as root, there are no outputs. So, are there actually any updates available for this system? Running 'up2date --list' should show you all updates. Okay, I just did a test. I installed ntp-4.1.0b-2.AS21.4 package on one of my AS hosts. There is a newer version of this package that is a considered an "update", but not a "critical" update. When I run 'rhn_check', there are no updates listed. However, 'up2date --list' does show it. Likewise, I force a version of a package known to have a 'critical update' (in this case I installed an old version of kdelibs), up2date shows an update available (as it should). Now, very oddly, rhn_check doesn't do anything with *this* at all, even though this is a "critical update." Go figure. You're probably better off just running up2date from cron anyway. :-/ -- Jesse Becker GPG-fingerprint: BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Please elaborate a bit on how they times differ? By whole numbers of hours? Does one appear "correct" (the same as your own local timezone)? I conjecture that the system default time zone offset (used by FTP) and the time zone offset handed to your ssh session differ. UNIX systems store time internally in seconds since the start of 01jan1970 GMT. They convert it on the fly to whatever timezone your process wants (expressed by the $TZ environment variable, or via the file /etc/localtime (a binary data format file specifying timezone info for the system "default" timezone)). In this way people from different places can do "ls -l" and see times in their own timezone, which are easy for them to deal with mentally. Try this: ssh or telnet in, then: touch foo ls -ld foo Then also examine foo via "ls" from FTP. "foo" _should_ have the time "now", whatever that may be when you test this.

A `man ls` (in ssh) can show options to show the different timestamps. If the diff is (exact) multiples of 1 hour (or sometimes half hours) then it is due to different timezone settings.

And yes, I do have good and > reliable backups. ;-) I asked before, why do you think that rhnsd dies/sticks? What behavior have you seen or evidence that you have supports it is rhnsd that is the problem? Have you submitted a bug to bugzilla.redhat.com about it (if so what's the bug number)? Have you opened a support ticket with Red Hat Support? I say this because I have many dozens of boxes that run rhnsd and have never had a problem with it. OTOH, the RHN website (both hosted and satellite) has some serious caching issues (or something, I have not had the time to track it down and have been poo-poo'ed by support in the past about it) that causes Erratta to be incorrectly reported for a machine until such time as you do a package refresh for said machine. Perhaps this is what you attribute to rhnsd being "stuck"? -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby uga enterprise information technology services production systems support metaphysically wrinkle-free ------------------------------------------- From nhruby at uga.edu Wed Jan 19 17:31:18 2005 From: nhruby at uga.edu (nathan r. hruby) Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 12:31:18 -0500 (EST) Subject: [rhn-users] Re: rhnsd daemon update In-Reply-To: References: <20050117162725.GC8317@northwestern.edu> <20050118065033.GA8395@northwestern.edu> <20050119162103.GE8393@northwestern.edu> Message-ID: On Thu, 20 Jan 2005, Tsai Li Ming wrote: > >> I'd be just as careful about expecting rhnsd to keep boxes freshly updated, >> when it gets stuck and/or dies randomly.

What behavior I think it dies/sticks because I've seen it get stuck, and machines fall out of date, even when rhnsd is nominally running. I've also seen the process vanish, and concluded that it dying on it's own is the most likely cause (but not the only one).

In your cases, have you found running 'rhn_check refresh' to be handled the same as scheduling a profile update from RHN?

First you need to build MySQL-4 (the MySQL source RPM's build fine), then you'll need to rebuild php against the MySQL-4 you just installed. After that, you'll need to rebuild (or remove) anything else that is linked against MySQL-4 on your system. Most of this can be done before a downtime by building RPM packages on a seperate machine for installation later. IIRC, there was a thread on this on the taroon-list, the archives should reveal it. After that you'll need to reimport the your databases and probably run some of the scripts to update the permissions tables in the MySQL db (assuming you're not using InnoDB or BerkleyDB tables.. I don't know about those). MySQL's documentation covers upgrades from 3.23.xx to 4.0 and 4.1 in details, I'd suggest reading that too, I've found it helpful when I approached this same issue. All of this is easier, IMHO, that using a while loop with in_array() though, so it's probably worth it :) -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby uga enterprise information technology services production systems support metaphysically wrinkle-free ------------------------------------------- From evs at kerridge.be Fri Jan 21 14:52:21 2005 From: evs at kerridge.be (Eric Van Steenbergen) Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 15:52:21 +0100 Subject: [rhn-users] Adjusting swap space Message-ID: <200501211455.PAA32324@kerridge.nl> Hello all, For some bizar reason swap space on one of our servers is set to 0.

If at all possible, though, I would recommend doing it on another box first (and taking very good notes). It's more work, but it can save you down time. As Nathan says, it's a bit trickier than you might like. Depending on how what extensions you need (use phpinfo() to find out how Red Hat compiled it), PHP can be difficult to compile. It's true that I usually wind up compiling it with something odd (no longer supported extensions, support for three different databases, etc.). But trust me--you don't want to be up at 3 AM googling for some library you didn't know you needed before compiling PHP for the eighth time. --Michael From cbeerse at lycos.nl Fri Jan 21 15:37:54 2005 From: cbeerse at lycos.nl (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Corn=E9_Beerse?=) Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 16:37:54 +0100 Subject: [rhn-users] Adjusting swap space In-Reply-To: <200501211455.PAA32324@kerridge.nl> References: <200501211455.PAA32324@kerridge.nl> Message-ID: <41F121D2.4090502@lycos.nl> Eric Van Steenbergen wrote: > Hello all, > > > > For some bizar reason swap space on one of our servers is set to 0. > > > > [root at RHESPIRSCH etc]# free > > total used free shared buffers cached > > Mem: 1538852 227156 1311696 0 16948 99108 > > -/+ buffers/cache: 111100 1427752 > > Swap: 0 0 0 > Should be no problem, the system has about 1/3-rd of its core memory free. However, if there is swap, some pages can be swapped away to gain space for buffers and/or cache. If you encounter problems and need (more) swap, just set it on with `swapon`. For example: `swapon -a` for all swapspace configured in "/etc/fstab".

Message-ID: <20050125090325.B25244@petrel.beckman.uiuc.edu> Hello, I have an RPM supplied through RHN that supports a conditional build. The rebuild process works just fine using a command of the form: rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'param 1' ./name-version-release.src.rpm 2>&1 This rebuilds name-version-release.rpm and places it in the appropriate place under %_topdir, but the problem is that there is nothing in the release (or serial number) to distinguish it from the RHN supplied RPM. I'd like to automate the building of this RPM and have it distinguishable from the RHN supplied RPM and have up2date and yum consider it younger than the RHN supplied RPM. Beyond changing the spec file every time this package changes (and for every package for which this is true), is there a way that I can modify the release from the command line? Ideally I would like to be able to append something to the release string. Thanks for any help.

At this point, spam-assassin hardly does anything. The greylisting prevents 95% of the spam we used to get from even reaching the server (which means the server doesn't run nearly as hot as it used to, since it isn't even processing the spam through a filter now). http://www.greylisting.org has more information about greylisting.

That configuration usually happens when the usb disk is created in windows. All you need to do is to create a partition within linux (all data will be destroyed) using your favorite tool. Make sure that when your done. fdisk -l /dev/sda displays a /dev/sda1 (if your going to use it from windows don't forget to create it as fat32) Then mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 Hope that helped. //Per _____ From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Marko Macesic Sent: den 26 januari 2005 01:14 To: rhn-users at redhat.com Subject: [rhn-users] problem with usb device I have a problem with one USB flash hdd drive 256MB by PQI.

This NFS problem is hard to describe, since it seems to bounce around, but I will try. First, note that all systems involved are completely up2date. Basic architecture: * 1 'server' system with 2 IP addresses running NFS with 2 exported filesystems (at the same level - /data/a and /data/b) * 4 'client' systems, each with 1 IP address using autofs via /net to mount filesystems from the 'server' system running NFS * all run Red Hat Enterprise ES 3.0 Problem: We see a variety of problems after rebooting the NFS server that are resolved in in one or more ways including: * restarting autofs on the clients * running exportfs -av on the NFS server * restarting NFS on the server (even though it has just been rebooted) * rebooting one or more (though seldom all) client systems Since the steps necessary to restore access after a reboot vary from episode to episode, the problem seems to be a moving target and is really hard to debug. The only error message that seems to appear is this one on the NFS server: getfh failed: Operation not permitted The only other odd symptoms that often presents themselves are: * sometimes, when the system cannot be accessed via /net, it is still possible to do a mount command by hand (though not always) * sometimes, access to only one of the servers IP addresses fails via /net while both of them are usable with a mount command * sometimes, both /net and manual mount fail with a 'permission denied', which is, again, sometimes fixed by an exportfs -a or -r on the NFS server and sometimes not. * sometimes /data/a can be accessed, but not /data/b and vice versa. It is also strange that this usually only seems to affect some of the clients (usually 2 out of 4). It does generally seem to be the same 2 that fail, but again, it is not always those 2 or only those 2. I have exhausted many hours trying to figure out this problem (via Red Hat faqs, google, etc.). Clues?

Basic architecture: * 1 'server' system with 2 IP addresses running NFS with 2 exported filesystems (at the same level - /data/a and /data/b) * 4 'client' systems, each with 1 IP address using autofs via /net to mount filesystems from the 'server' system running NFS * all run Red Hat Enterprise ES 3.0 Problem: We see a variety of problems after rebooting the NFS server that are resolved in in one or more ways including: * restarting autofs on the clients * running exportfs -av on the NFS server * restarting NFS on the server (even though it has just been rebooted) * rebooting one or more (though seldom all) client systems Since the steps necessary to restore access after a reboot vary from episode to episode, the problem seems to be a moving target and is really hard to debug. The only error message that seems to appear is this one on the NFS server: getfh failed: Operation not permitted The only other odd symptoms that often presents themselves are: * sometimes, when the system cannot be accessed via /net, it is still possible to do a mount command by hand (though not always) * sometimes, access to only one of the servers IP addresses fails via /net while both of them are usable with a mount command * sometimes, both /net and manual mount fail with a 'permission denied', which is, again, sometimes fixed by an exportfs -a or -r on the NFS server and sometimes not. * sometimes /data/a can be accessed, but not /data/b and vice versa. It is also strange that this usually only seems to affect some of the clients (usually 2 out of 4). It does generally seem to be the same 2 that fail, but again, it is not always those 2 or only those 2. I have exhausted many hours trying to figure out this problem (via Red Hat faqs, google, etc.). Clues? Thanks. :) Brian _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users From cbeerse at lycos.nl Thu Jan 27 09:27:05 2005 From: cbeerse at lycos.nl (=?ISO-8859-15?Q?Corn=E9_Beerse?=) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 10:27:05 +0100 Subject: [rhn-users] ntp server implementation In-Reply-To: <1106744701.2349.5.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1106744701.2349.5.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <41F8B3E9.5040101@lycos.nl> Claudio Jofre wrote: > hi: > i will implement in my network one ntp-server. for this i will usage on > machine that have the redhat linux AS 2.1 instaled. > > now, i have install the ntp package and have sincronize for one external > server from mi country. but, i dont can find the documentation, for > configure the ntpd (or i need install other package for this idea?) for > accept the conexion from the other machine in mi network for sincronize > this other machine. > The ntp (xntp, ntpd, xntpd) documentation is not in a unix fashion. Most (all) can be found at http://www.ntp.org/ If you are looking for (remote) servers, I can advise to use the "pool.ntp.org" construcion (http://www.pool.ntp.org/). In shourt: use "pool.ntp.org" for server if you use one, or use "0.pool.ntp.org", "1.pool.ntp.org" and "2.pool.ntp.org" if you plan to use 3 remote servers. btw: there are also national settings, for The Netherlands (.nl) I use "nl.pool.ntp.org" (and "0.nl.pool.ntp.org"...) Be noted, not all nations have sufficient public servers to have a national pool.

In theory, it should work fine, at least as long as you leave enough swap to handle the swap space in use. Ideally, it would be swapping as little as possible when you did it, so stopping or restarting swap-heavy applications might not be a bad idea; when I've moved around swap partitions of swap files, I've done this. --Michael From mailinglist at ltsai.com Fri Jan 28 02:53:26 2005 From: mailinglist at ltsai.com (Tsai Li Ming) Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 10:53:26 +0800 Subject: [rhn-users] Non-Linux Service for system entitlements Message-ID: Dear all, In my satellite server, I have the following "Non-Linux Service" under System Entitlements.

I just stopped audit (`/etc/init.d/audit stop` and `chkconfig audit off`). That gives me an other problem, some other services seem to depend on it. I think there are 2 'best practices': - remove audit from the system. This will also remove packages that depend on it and maybe have other implications. - reconfigure audit to stop auditing.

You can even go less, as long as there is space in core memory. See `top` for the used memory. Be noted, if you go low, have swapspace at hand to enable it once the performance drops or (worse) processes cannot be started due to memory problems.

The default installation on our boxes keeps /var/log/audit.d/bin.{0,1,2,3} of 20MB each, but upon log rotation, each bin.{0,1,2,3} is copied to /var/log/audit.d/save.NNN.

It is verry hard to see for a port to see what app is calling. It is more or less in the response. With verry old sendmail implementations, it is relatively easy to just send a message with telnet, the sendmail just swallowed about everyting Current sendmail implementations have some handshakes to see if it is a reasonable mail-client out there but then, that is also verry eays to implement since it is a public-known and well documented protocol. Even Micro$oft managed to implement it good enough in outlook and outlook express. Hence, you better do as most isp-s: use accounting and only accept from known IP-addresses. > > I want to block or only secure user can access this > how can i do this ? > thanks in advance > jijos > > jijo's > > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >_______________________________________________ >rhn-users mailing list >rhn-users at redhat.com >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users > From jijo_john at rediffmail.com Mon Jan 31 05:28:29 2005 From: jijo_john at rediffmail.com (jijo john) Date: 31 Jan 2005 05:28:29 -0000 Subject: [rhn-users] installing new RPMS Message-ID: <20050131052829.13448.qmail@webmail26.rediffmail.com> hai I have Redhat 9 I want to install some RPMS on redhat9. can I install the new versions of rpm with out installing the older version for example I want to install zlib 1.2.2.2 on RH 9 this is the latest package for Fedora can I install this on RH9 like this can I install new rpms fedora to RH9....?

Message-ID: <93264065C071E7478DE483521B6B4C9F206DAB@MSGMMKDRC2WIN.DMN1.FMR.COM> Greetings all, I'm faced with the challenge of upgrading a bunch of RHEL AS21 hosts to AS3. Instinct and years of practice (wisdom?) steer me to reload the hosts with AS3 where ever possible. However, in certain cases ... being able to use up2date or some other scripted mechanism is very attractive to migrate a RHEL AS21 host to AS3 (due mainly to level of customizations that went into application installs). Is there any experience on this mailing list regarding this? Off the top of my head, items of concern are: + device driver name and/or parameter changes (modules.conf) + initscript modifications that may get lost (rc.sysinit (vxvm)) + filesystem updates (meta-data structure changes requiring updates which could potentially thwart backouts?) + changes in kernel parameter names/values (ex: sysctl.conf, fs.file-max in AS21 is pretty low and required parm change, but default in AS3 is sufficient in most case and leaving AS21 config in place would be counter productive.) + /boot partition may not be of sufficient size (old AS21 kernels would need to be removed (versus left behind alla upgrade) + Something of concern are the junk files which packages (RPMs) don't capture and and upgraded boxes seem to always collect in droves. Are there any obvious files/directories anyone is familiar with? Thanks for any feedback.

I don't believe you can simply block incoming telnet attempts to your SMTP port. To quote Brian Keefer on the OpenBSD mailing list: "Even if you could detect that it was a telnet client by observing the terminal negotiation attempt, you really haven't gained anything. You could write a simple socket program in any language, such as PERL, Python, etc and just perform the same function. Why is everyone over-analyzing the situation? SMTP is a TCP service based on 7bit ASCII commands. All the communication is human-readable and doesn't require any special negotiation above the TCP layer (which is handled automatically). You can't reliably detect the intent of a remote party when they connect, only after they start issuing commands can you make a determination (albeit a crude one) about what they're trying to do and whether you want to allow it. There's no easy way to accomplish that. If there were, companies wouldn't make millions selling special e-mail protection software that performs detailed traffic inspection. Even a proxy firewall in this case doesn't really gain you anything. The past exploits against SMTP daemons have been by using built-in commands. If you're saying the proxy will limit it to "just SMTP traffic", well so what? If the daemon has a poor SMTP implementation, then it's still vulnerable. It's not like you can connect to the daemon and just immediately login to a shell." Now, if you wanted to allow only specific people access to the SMTP server, you could set up TCP Wrappers to only permit access from specific IPs. Or you could get a more robust smtp server like exim or postfix that is much more configurable and set it up to require valid logins before being able to send/retrieve email.
