In that case, it's a connection issue. The mail basically tells you it hasn't received any info from the systems for a given period of time. Your system should be running a process that makes the connection (the name of the process escapes me, and I'm not in easy reach of a Red Hat system at the moment - try a 'ps auxw | grep rhn'), and of course, your network (+ firewall settings) should allow this process to connect to Red Hat.

Just after the %post declaration in the ks.cfg file, surround your scripts including call to bootstrap.sh with the following: %post echo -e \\a chvt 3 ( Your scripts here. ) 2>&1 | tee /root/ks-postinstall.log echo -e \\a This sounds a beep to alert you that you are at the post install and changes the virtual terminal to 3 which is where all the information is displayed. It also creates a copy in /root/ks-postinstall.log which you can check for errors and sounds another beep when it is finished.

Up2date does. With systems registered with up2date, you can login to rhn.redhat.com and view each system's profile, what packages need updating etc. Sometimes though, say if you install a package using rpm, your rhn system profile gets out-of-date because it doesn't know you manually installed an rpm - hence by running "up2date -p" you can syncronize what is installed on your redhat system with the online database of your systems profile. ________________________________ From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Gabriella Schmidt Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 7:04 AM To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: [rhn-users] RHN Errata Alert: Important: tomcat security update Hi all, I've just got an E-mail from Red Hat Network Alert for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

I'm going to guess that after you installed the 1.3 kernel you did not reboot prior to installing the 1.4 kernel. yum will not ever delete the running kernel. So with the setting of two you should see the new kernel you installed and the running kernel, whatever that may be.

I have a couple of dozen or so servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. These are fairly minimal server builds that I install with a customised Kickstart setup. For a long time I have had serious problems using up2date. I use it in CLI mode because I don't install X11 on the servers. When I run it to check for and install new updates, it only gets so far during the process and then just... hangs forever. I have to use a kill -9 on the process to destroy it, and then run the command again. Sometimes it will get a bit further and then hang again. It hangs so frequently that it can take me hours of just sitting there doing this repeatedly in order to update just one server. Sometimes it gets to bad that it hangs in the same place every time, and the only way I've found of clearing that situation is to reboot the server, which is ridiculous. I have no idea why rebooting helps (although it doesn't generally help much). I've tried forcing it to use a regular HTTP connection instead of using HTTPS, and I then sniffed the HTTP traffic. There was no indication of anything which could be causing the problem - it just stops halfway through downloading files. There is nothing remotely informative in the logs. I've tried removing up2date's temporary files, which makes no difference. I've tried fiddling around with all sorts of settings in the config file, e.g. turning off use of certificates, and altering the buffer and retry settings. None of this made the slightest difference. Up2date continues to hang every time, and it's now become a very serious problem and a source of extreme frustration. I haven't found any examples on the internet of people managing to solve problems like this. I think up2date is a dreadful piece of software and I don't have much hope of solving this problem decently; however, if anyone does have any suggestions or ideas at all I would be _extremely_ grateful to hear them. I note that Red Hat have given up on up2date in RHEL5 and have started using yum instead. This doesn't surprise me because my experience of yum is that it's a far better piece of software than up2date. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to use yum on RHEL4 to talk to RHN instead of using up2date. If anyone has any knowledge of how to go about this I'd absolutely love to hear it. Many thanks in advance for any help or suggestions anyone is able to give. Kind regards.

One, a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server exporting SMB shares and two other RHEL AS4.4 mounting these shares and accessing them from JBoss AS. When the SMB session is reset for various reasons (Windows Server reboot, network glitch, whatever) the mountpoint freezes until someone kills the userspace mount process, and tries to umount the mountpoint. After some time the last step will succeed and the path will again be available for manual remount. In the meantime, the Apache frontends running on the same RHEL AS4.4 that handle the mod_jk connections with the JBoss servers will exhaust all the 120 child process configured and DOS the website; the use average will skyrocket to about 130 but the cpu remains +90% idle and remote shell normally responsive... (that is, the 120 httpd block waiting for the java process, blocked on the smb_io) Any way I can solve, at least avoid the DOS, this issue?

OK. That shows me that it hangs just after the start of a recv, which again shows that it's hanging during the file download process. Regards.

Based on your success/failure, " rpm http://yourtrustedlocalwebserver/.../file.rpm " - this is of course a workaround while you're troubleshooting your original problem. BTW, if failures occur during an ordinary " rpm -i or rpm -U " consider the -vv switch for more information. FWIW.

Highlights include: * links to all RHN and Satellite-related mailing lists with RSS feeds from each prominently displayed on all pages * pointers to IRC channels, #rhn and #rhn-satellite, on irc.freenode.net where users can connect with each other and with RHN/Satellite developers * a wiki where community members can share how-tos and help documents on how they use RHN/Satellite * a subversion repository where community members may share scripts and tools to be used with the products. I invite anyone interested in this community to visit this new site and join the community! We've already uploaded some sample scripts into svn for a good start, and we've love any contributions you'd like to make (information on becoming a contributor is available on the site.) Any ideas you have for improving the community are also quite welcome! Thanks, ~m --- M?ir?n Duffy Interaction Designer, Red Hat, Inc.

Too bad error message doesn't suggest any solutions. -- Darek Czarkowski From josh at dcs.qmul.ac.uk Fri May 25 10:46:37 2007 From: josh at dcs.qmul.ac.uk (Hiren Joshi) Date: Fri, 25 May 2007 11:46:37 +0100 Subject: [rhn-users] Tomcat security update In-Reply-To: <954028.88877.qm@web38107.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <954028.88877.qm@web38107.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <4656BE8D.5090403@dcs.qmul.ac.uk> Has anyone had any problems starting tomcat up after the security update? I'm not sure what happened but it was pointing to the wrong jre (I use the ibm package from rhn). This wasn't a big issue but was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

Does anyone have any experience of using the --upgrade-to-release option on up2date? I'd like to be able to upgrade a machine to RHEL ES Release 4 Update 5. Is it possible to use this argument to upgrade to a specific update of a particular release? I've tried every variant I can conceivably think of and all I get is the error output telling me I don't have access to any matching channels. Kind regards.
