From michael.mansour at hp.com Fri Sep 1 00:43:18 2006 From: michael.mansour at hp.com (Mansour, Michael) Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 08:43:18 +0800 Subject: [rhn-users] internet configuration In-Reply-To: <00b201c6cd14$8d246350$09000032@bill> Message-ID: <58727644D357E1429F7095BD0A2970940390A44B@sgpexc05.asiapacific.cpqcorp.net> Hi Bill, My posts were not off-topic, the posts of the users were. There comes a point when people get sick of receiving emails unrelated to the subscribed email list. It's a waste of time and resources when other lists related to the queries in question exist and can better help the requestor. This has been discussed before, and others have also voiced their concerns that people "just aren't getting it". If you have a better way of informing people this list is for RHN-only queries, I'd suggest you make them yourself to the off-topic posters. I can't see their direct email addresses, so the only way I can make this clear is to post here, and I'll continue to do so. Regards, Michael. -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Bill Watson Sent: Friday, 1 September 2006 1:46 AM To: 'Red Hat Network Users List' Subject: RE: [rhn-users] internet configuration Who died and made Michael king?

I would not be so harsh. There are so many mailing lists, it does get confusing. However, a message to the right mailing list is more likely to get the needed info more quickly. FYI Red Hat Network (RHN) = https://rhn.redhat.com/ Red Hat Mailing Lists = https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo A wc -l tells me that there are 144 Red Hat Mailing Lists. I'm often not sure what's the most appropriate list when I have a question.

I would not be so harsh. There are so many mailing lists, it does get confusing. However, a message to the right mailing list is more likely to get the needed info more quickly. FYI Red Hat Network (RHN) = https://rhn.redhat.com/ Red Hat Mailing Lists = https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo A wc -l tells me that there are 144 Red Hat Mailing Lists. I'm often not sure what's the most appropriate list when I have a question. _______________________________________________ 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 addressee.

The important distinction here is that the Red Hat Network is *not* Red Hat Linux nor Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Red Hat Network actually runs with an Oracle database backend and a Web front end. When you pay for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions, you get an RHN account which you can use to update your Red Hat Linux servers and/or workstations. You can even purchase the Red Hat Satellite Server and/or Red Hat Satellite Proxy servers, to enable local enterprise grade upgrades of your Red Hat Linux servers/workstations. This mailing list is dedicated to queries / problems with the use of the Red Hat Network. Anything else is just noise and is better suited to other RH mailing lists. I joined this list to help people with RHN, as I know a lot about it, I've done the expensive training, and I may even need help myself one day. But I found that the majority of emails here are unrelated to RHN. This has been discussed before and some of the "Big Guns" (eg. Dag Wieers) in the Linux world who also subscribe to this list have considered leaving it because of this "noise". I've never tried to be rude or harsh or criticise anyone, but if this list loses the knowledgeable people that joined it for the sole reason of helping others with RHN issues, then this will become totally worthless.

My apologies to the RHN users. But I always believe a more soft approach in correcting the misplaced Questions and a litle advice as to where to go, like what some have suggested would have saved the day. I believe a good teacher does not leave a school because a new student Has walked into a wrong class room. But he should advice the student Accordingly and continue with his class. I salute all gurus out there who provide valuable solutions to all sort of problems to newbies in the class. We need you all, please do not abandon the class. That's the only way knowledge is passed on and advanced to the new and future generations. Be blessed.

Think about the next: create a subdirectory, store a file in there and then frequently modify the file. After a day, your script will remove the tree, including the maybe still editable file. It would be better if your second line did an `rmdir` because this fails if the directory is not empty. The previous find will remove all 'old' files and optionally leave empty directories. The last line will remove the empty directories one day after they are cleared. It would be better to search for empty directories. The second, but not so large problem is that empty directories are only removed a day after they are cleared, this because they are modified if the are cleared. This is not a problem but it is not as one expects. An other problem is that you test for modification. It would be better to test for access. It is fairly usefull to create a file once and keep reading it afterwards. Think about pid-files that are used by deamons and such: A script starts the deamon process and writes its pid in a file. As long as the file exists and the containing pid is a running process, it is likely that the process still runs. As soon as the pid is not a running process, it has somehow stopped or finished. Once the pid file does not exist, it is likely the system is rebooted. In both cases the script will start the next process. Here your script will ruin your day... Hence, be carefull with automatic clearing of files and folders in /tmp, specially at not-boot times. On the other hand, should be no problem to clear the contents of /tmp at boot time. Leaving relative new files and subdirectories there after a boot can be handsome with debugging and such.

I replaced it with a usr 5461 but the stupid thing does not route internal packets. @#$@!!? So then I replaced it with a usr 8200. Finally everything works.

The first thing I would check is that the time and date are accurate on your system.

On 7/4/06, Simon Ball wrote: What's happening here is that the large transfer is mostly ending up in the disk cache in ram. The disk cache will take up ram, but be relinquished when other things need it (ie. it's as good as free memory, over 800meg of it in your case). The reason none of your swap is being used is because you do not in any way need it. Having zero swap usage is a very good thing, using swap instead of ram is a sign your machine is under-speced for the job. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=175419 provides a reasonably concise overview of the problem here. simon However, the memory is not released when I want to write DVDs unless I reboot the system.

Thanks M??ir??n, these changes will he people decide better whether they should subcribe, but it won't fix currently subscribed people sending (or answering) off-topic mails. I'd propose to (for one or 2 weeks) answer off-topic mails like I did with the last 2 off-topic mails, just so there is a definitive statement from Red Hat. The rationale should be that off-topic posters are better off on another mailinglist for their own sake. And my opinion (and I know other people disagree about this) is that such statements ought to be public in order to be generally useful. Of course, as soon as the signal-to-noise ratio improves, very few correction mails need to be send. Just my opinion.

Email was not "meant" to send logs. Logs are big. it's true modern mail systems can handle big files but it's not quite appropriate. Maybe what you want is logwatch ( which creates a daily report of you logs ) to send the report to your mail box. By default logwatch sends mail to root. you could change logwatch to send to you, or you could put your email address in /root/.forward so that you get all systems mails. That's what I do.

My system update screen looks like this: [Bug Fix Advisory] RHBA-2003:341 New initscripts packages available 12/19/03 [Bug Fix Advisory] RHBA-2003:248 Updated IBM Java 2 packages fix various issues 1/6/04 [Bug Fix Advisory] RHBA-2004:081 Updated initscripts packages fix bug in bonding support 4/21/04 [Bug Fix Advisory] RHBA-2004:011 Updated IBMJava2 packages update expired cacerts file. 4/21/04 [Bug Fix Advisory] RHBA-2004:329 Updated initscripts package 8/18/04 [Bug Fix Advisory] RHBA-2004:619 Updated initscripts package 12/13/04 The reason the "New initscripts" package won't install is there is a newer version already installed. I thought RHN was supposed to figure this out and delete the obsolete packages. The only way I have figured out to get rid of the clutter is to delete the system from RHN and re-register it again. Anyone else seen this? Anyone know of an easier fix? Mine works but it's a bit like killing a fly with a sledgehammer.

Following up to my own email, since I went to bugzilla and searched for "file not found up2date" and got five hits. I noticed that in every case it was a src rpm that triggered the problem. In the past, I'd never downloaded sources, but this machine has more disk space, and I thought it would be fun to have the sources. I went back to the up2date config file, changed sources=1 to sources=0 and tried again. Bingo, problem solved. I notice in the bugzilla reports that all five bugs, dating back to 2004, are marked "NEW," so I assume that this is not a bug that is going to be fixed. Is there a better approach to downloading src rpms? Thanks, Scott -- Scott D.

Kernel packages should never be updated, only installed. You would be replacing a (presumably) known good kernel with one not yet tested on your system. You also run into dependency issues like you've illustrated. Install the new kernel, then after you are confident it is working properly, you can remove (rpm -e) the older kernel packages if you're running out of room on your /boot partition. If you run into problems with the new kernel (like you can't find the ipw-2200 drivers to match the new kernel) you can always revert to the older one by changing "default=0" in /boot/grub/grub.conf to point to a previous kernel. > So, I removed the skipping of kernel patches and did "up2date -u" and got > the following.

Several minute long logins were common. Some of this was addressed by Red Hat in the 4.1.0 release and this was much appreciated, although we do need to give up some functionality in order to achieve reasonable login times. Since that release the RHN response times seem to have drifted back and now even with the reduced functionality on my login page it again takes multiple minutes normally to login. Once I timed the login at over 10 minutes. Login times are not the only issue. Clicking on just about anything after logging in is also painfully slow often taking minutes to complete. I have around 600 active users under my account and they are complaining loudly to me about this too. Since this has been dragging on without resolution for a while now I decided to vent a little. It really is frustrating to interact at all with RHN currently.

We opened a support ticket regarding our systems not getting these updates scheduled or delivered in a timely fashion in early August. Pretty much each week it is suggested to us that it either has been fixed or that it will be fixed on the following Tuesday during maintenance. Each week we see that it hasn't been fixed and ask for an update about the resolution of the problem. Then we repeat this support dance for another week, and another week, and so it has gone. We are getting the feeling that this isn't considered a very serious problem by Red Hat. We consider it serious as we have many users who set this flag on RHN when they install their systems and then *rely* on Red Hat to deliver the security updates to them automatically. In the future we may give new users instructions on how they can reduce their need to rely on RHN for this service by running update periodically from cron. I think it is a little sad that such a measure is necessary and it really doesn't help those already missing updates without knowing it. I hope someone at Red Hat will bump the urgency of fixing this bug as getting automatic security fixes from RHN really is one of the reasons our people chose to use RHN in the first place.

For this particular issue it would be possible (to my knowledge) to alleviate the problem without a version bump; I was assuming the version bump (and fix the release notes referred to) indicated another fix for it but my assumption may have been wrong. >> Please let us know if you continue to experience this issue. > > Not one single machine at our site has the gzip errata scheduled at > this time according to RHN and only 14 are listed as being affected by > this errata.

However, I do net want to upgrade my systems with up2date mechanism since our company would not allow systems to connect directly to the internet. Do you know an alternative way to upgrade RH systems? (by means of patch CD or anything else- as we do for Solaris systems?) > Gary > > Marc > _______________________________________________ > rhn-users mailing list > rhn-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users > > From allen.jordan at convergys.com Fri Sep 22 07:53:17 2006 From: allen.jordan at convergys.com (allen.jordan at convergys.com) Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 03:53:17 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Allen Jordan is out of the office.

Just a quick update on this. After several weeks of really really slow interaction with RHN on this past Friday all of a sudden things were pretty spiffy. Logging in now is taking less than a minute and most subsequent interaction is measured in seconds rather than minutes. I have no idea what changed, but my campers are much happier now.
