Yes, if you use https within your configuration (which is by default).

Message-ID: I have an account that only has three registered physical systems (+5 guests). All three physical systems are running RHEL5. Yesterday a bunch of errata were released and I received mail telling me my notebook, which hasn't been turned on since prior to the release of those errata, is out of date this morning. One of the other machines which is on 24x7 I updated myself and the remaining machine, which is out of date, showed up as still up to date on RHN this morning. I ran rhn-profile-sync on that one and RHN woke up and noticed it was out of date too. However, yum-updatesd doesn't ever seem to notice or do anything. I'm very confused about what is the expected behavior. I guess I expect that the day after errata are released RHN will have a three machine account in order without user intervention. And I'm very curious why this isn't something that lots of people are having to cope with unless everyone has given up and just run up2date from cron rather than relying on the web interface to just work?!

Whew! :) Thanks for the confirmation. Red Hat support said this is a top priority to fix. This current brokeness appears to be the same thing that happened when RHN 4.1.0 was released. It took around 7 weeks to fix it then. Hopefully we don't have another 4 weeks to wait for a fix :( daryl From paul.boin at arl.army.mil Wed Apr 4 17:19:59 2007 From: paul.boin at arl.army.mil (Boin, Paul (Cont, ARL/CISD)) Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2007 13:19:59 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Re: Auto-update broken?

Same here. We had a bunch of rhns* packages come in last night, and then this morning on a manual up2date of our satellite. I opened a ticket asking why I wasn't notified of an outage. RH is claiming that since their satellites were up, it's not an outage. However, if you ask me, broken software that prevents up2date from working on *my* end, that's clearly an outage. > On Wed, 28 Mar 2007, Daryl Herzmann wrote: > >> Anybody out there?

Bill Watson bill at magicdigits.com -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Richard Riley Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 2:20 PM To: rhn-users at redhat.com Subject: [rhn-users] Tar problem I have a nightly backup process that uses tar writing the output to a file on an NFS mount. It had been working fine for weeks and suddenly on Tuesday started failing with error code of 141. Anyone know where I can find out what the error code means. I have tried a google search and looking at tar source code, both to no avail. I have another machine running the exact same script also writing to NFS mount and is experiencing no problems. The machine that has started failing is RHEL 3. The second machine is running RHEL 4 and the NFS server is running RHEL 4. They are manually kept up to date using up2date command. Here is the script. day=`date +%a` if [ "$day" == "Sun" ] then STAMP="Wk`date +%U`-$day`date +%m%d%H%M`" else STAMP="$day`date +%m%d%H%M`" fi logfile=/var/log/db-bkup/bkuplog-$STAMP db_bkup_file=$bkup_hold_dir/`hostname`-db_bkup-$STAMP.tar.gz # Stop mysql process to start backup, force flush to disk /sbin/service mysql stop echo "backup started at `date`" >$logfile cd /home/ # backup /var/lib/mysql to $db-bkup-file directory tar -czv --ignore-failed-read --totals mysql >$db_bkup_file 2>>$logfile CODE=$? if [ $CODE == 0 ] then echo "backup completed at `date`" >>$logfile else echo "Backup failed at `date` with error code ($CODE)" >>$logfile fi # Start mysql service again, will resync with master at this point /sbin/service mysql start The tar command is failing in the exact same place every time, regardless of when run from cron or kicked off manually. I know this by the logfile which shows a list of all the files written. It appears to be part way through a directory. If I run tar on that directory alone, it completes fine. I can find no other error indicators.

On RHEL5 systems you can set "do_update = yes" in /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf and yum-updatesd will apply updates regardless of how the auto errata update flag is set on RHN. I've been told that my issue on this one is another known problem affecting systems with multiple CPUs. By the way, I don't think system locking actually prevents the application of errata if the auto errata flag is set. It seems to only prevent the scheduling of "other stuff" on RHN for the system. I've never seen any point at all to the use of locking a system on RHN.

Question: if during that 6 week testing period, additional patches have been released, we don't want those patches to be applied to the production servers as they wouldn't have been installed on the uat servers during the testing. Is there a way, with up2date, to install packages to a server(s) based on what is installed on another server??

Set it up initially with your uat config then when you are happy point up2date to the yam server and build from there. You could probably do it all manually by saving all the rpms locally, dumping the rpm package info on a uat box then just using rpm to install the local stuff.

This will clone the files and directory structure, leaving the partition table, MBR (etc.) alone. If you can't do fresh installs, use DD to create an 'clone' image of the entire hard drive and put it into another machine. This will work if they have the same hardware. You will have to configure anything server specific (IPs, MACs, etc) and then you can start using 'rsync' to keep the two servers cloned. This is how I clone webservers so if hardware goes down I can just switch IP on the DNS. Jerry Roy wrote: > I?ve got several Dell 2950s with RHEL4AS.

I go into single user mode with the target/slave disk just connected but not used by the OS on either the sata or ide bus The command that I have used is nice -19 dd if=/dev/hdc of=/dev/hdd bs=8192k & You may need to change the /dev/hdc to match which device your drives show up as .. The nice sets the priority to a very high level so the process runs faster. The dd command uses as an input the /dev/hdc; the output is /dev/hdd and the block size is set to 8192k By putting the process into the background you can check the progress by doing a ps -ef..

Image the partitions on your source machine. Use dd to image the MBR (all 512 bytes). Setup an image server on your network with the images you made and start PartImage. Boot up your target box with Knoppix or whatever, dd write the MBR image, start the PartImage client and "restore" the partitions. Make adjustments to the networking config. Works well, but not with LVM. Software RAID is also a little tricky, but can be done. Acronis makes an interesting commercial product as well.

However, after installing new PHP, the webpages related to php cannot display (blank page). Other html pages are just ok. And I run php at the command line, it can parse a simple test.php, which does phpinfo(). I tried IE6 & IE7, both of them cannot display the webpages, including test.php.

You need to file bugzilla RFEs and then wait 6-8 months for rhn product management to review the bugzilla entry.

Steven, I've been told this is a good time to file requests for incremental changes in the API against 5.1 and this is one I'll second heartily. Although getting it into bz is going to be more effective than having it on this list at the end of the day I think. John
