CentOS 6.2: suspending vim with ctrl-z and resuming withfg - stopped working

Alexander Farber — 2012-05-26T20:56:10

Hello,

pardon my chaotic question, but does anybody have an idea,
why can't I suspend vim-enhanced-7.2.411-1.6.el6.x86_64
with a CTRL-Z, then execute few commands at my bash prompt
and then get back to the vim session again with "fg"?

It has stopped working at my CentOS 6.2 machine (I haven't
noticed exactly when) but works fine with CentOS 5.x.

I'm using PuTTY to login to both. The error message I get is:

afarber< at >www:~> fg
sudo vim test.pl
~
[1]+  Stopped                 sudo vim test.pl

(and nothing comes up)

Thank you
Alex

KVM and vnc together

Jerry Geis — 2012-05-26T11:29:24

Ran into something weird.

I have my machine CentOS 6.2 running KVM guest of Windows 7.
This works fine while I'm in the office...

Then when I remote in using VNC to my machine - the VNC always
works fine. However, when I try to access the KVM session its like
the mouse has lost its brain.

Anyone ran into this?

I startup with this command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -hda win7.img  -usb  
-m 4192 -vga std &

Thanks,

Jerry

Mysterious versioning reported by file command

Frank Cox — 2012-05-26T04:56:13

I just noticed this, which doesn't actually seem to affect anything but does
create a mystery:

[frankcox< at >mutt temp]$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("Hello world\n");
return 0;
}
[frankcox< at >mutt temp]$ gcc -o test test.c
[frankcox< at >mutt temp]$ file test
test: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked
(uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped
[frankcox< at >mutt temp]$ uname -a
Linux mutt.melvilletheatre.net 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 16
00:01:37 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Why does the output from file say "Linux 2.6.18" when the actual kernel in use
is 2.6.32?

Upgrading FC2 to CentOS 5.* - anyone second this?

Max Pyziur — 2012-05-25T22:03:29

Greetings,

I *do* still have an FC2 box.

Would anyone second this procedure:

print job gui for remote access

Frank Cox — 2012-05-25T21:46:41

Users on Machine A with rights to log into and run jobs on Machine B using ssh
want to be able to view and cancel print jobs on Machine B.

This is easily accomplished via the commandline with lpq and lprm, but is there
a GUI that I can give them?  I have them running things like scribus using
launchers like "ssh -X machineb scribus" and would like to provide similar
functionality for the printer job control.

PCI/DSS compliance on CentOS

Arun Khan — 2012-05-25T17:22:13

I have a client project to implement PCI/DSS compliance.

The PCI/DSS auditor has stipulated that the web server, application
middleware (tomcat), the db server have to be on different systems.
In addition the auditor has also stipulated that there be a NTP
server, a "patch" server,

The Host OS on all of the above nodes will be CentOS 6.2.

Below is a list of things that would be necessary.

1. Digital Certificates for each host on the PCI/DSS segment
2. SELinux on each Linux host in the PCI/DSS network segment
3. Tripwire/AIDE on each Linux host in the PCI/DSS segment
4. OS hardening scripts (e.g. Bastille Linux)
5. Firewall
6. IDS (Snort)
6. Central “syslog” server

However, beyond this I would appreciate any comments/feedback /
suggestion if you or your organization has undergone a PCI/DSS audit
and what are the gotchas that you encountered, especially with respect
to CentOS/ open source stack.

I came across this which kind of brings out issues between the
implementer and the PCI/DSS auditor.

Force permissions by directory

Frank Cox — 2012-05-25T15:53:37

Is there a way to force file permissions by directory (and subdirectories
under it)?

For example, the user's default umask value is 022 but I want it to be 002 in
certain directories.

Dedup FS on 5.8

Alan McKay — 2012-05-25T14:19:18

Hey folks,

I have a 14TB disk array that I want to use for rsnapshot backups, and
am considering putting a dedup FS onto it.  I know I've got about a TB
of duplication, at least.  And it is not easy to remove manually.

Google lands me LessFS and SDFS as the prime candidates.

thanks,
-Alan

support for Broadcom BCM4313

Philippe Naudin — 2012-05-25T12:39:38

Hello,

The support for Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless is
native in the kernel since 2.6.37 (module brcm80211, renamed brcmsmac
since 2.6.39).

But is it backported to some kernel available for CentOS ?

Thanks,

compiling python

Rita — 2012-05-25T10:29:52

Hello,

I would like to compile python 2.7.3 for centos and was wondering if there
were any instructions I should follow. I would like to keep the standard
python the way it is. I would like to compile to /opt. Any tips or ideas
would be much appreciated.

Installing CIFS on CentOS4

Jeff Sadino — 2012-05-25T01:16:13

Hello,

I have a CentOS4 install and I am trying to mount a Windows Server 2008
folder.  When I use this command:
mount -t cifs //10.1.1.17/Org/MR\ Ops/ test, it only mounts the Org folder.
 When I try the same thing on a newer computer (Fedora 15), it mounts all
the way to MR Ops.  So I am pretty sure that my cifs file needs to be
updated, but I am having a really hard time doing this.  I updated to the
newest cif available for CentOS 4.9, but that still is not new enough.  Can
anyone tell me how to install the newer cifs on my CentOS 4?

Thank you,
Jeff Sadino

google.repo

2012-05-24T19:58:55

This is annoying. I've got a user who needs chrome installed. I google,
and find there's a google.repo. I rpm --import the signing key... and
cannot find *where* on google.com I can install their own repo from. Every
hit that looks even vaguely close tells me "edit
/etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo.

I don't want to manually create one, I want *theirs*.

Clues for the poor?

Centos 5.8 has no "Virtualization" install option

Dennis Jacobfeuerborn — 2012-05-24T02:45:31

Hi,
when I try to install Centos 5.8 on a Dell r410 then I don't get a
"Virtualization" option during the package selection of the installer.
Centos 5.7 does show that option fine. Is this a known issue?

Regards,

pvcreate limitations on big disks?

Alan McKay — 2012-05-23T19:24:44

OK folks, I'm back at it again.  Instead of taking my J4400 ( 24 x 1T
disks) and making a big RAID60 out of it which Linux cannot make a
filesystem on, I'm created 4 x RAID6 which each are 3.64T

I then do :

sfdisk /dev/sd{b,c,d,e} <<EOF
,,8e
EOF

to make a big LVM partition on each one.

But then when I do :

pvcreate /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}1

and then

pvdisplay

It shows each one as only half its actual size.

But if I take the last one and wipe the partition table and just do
pvcreate on the entire disk, it works

pvcreate /dev/sde

And then if I take the results from that and use the size to force a
size on another PV I get it right too

pvcreate /dev/sdd1 --setphysicalvolumesize=3.64T

I'd use the entire disk expect that this seems dangerous to me because
you do "sfdisk -l" and the disk appears to have no partition table
which might entice someone to thing it is unused.
And I'm not sure whether it is safe to use setphysicalvolumesize.
Anyone know for sure?

What are my alternatives?


  "/dev/sdb1" is a new

biggest disk partition on 5.8?

Alan McKay — 2012-05-23T18:23:31

Hey folks,

I have a Sun J4400 SAS1 disk array with 24 x 1T drives in it connected
to a Sunfire x2250 running 5.8 ( 64 bit )

I used 'arcconf' to create a big RAID60 out of (see below).

But then I mount it and it is way too small
This should be about 20TB :

[root< at >solexa1 StorMan]# df -h /dev/sdb1
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1             186G   60M  176G   1% /mnt/J4400-1


Here is how I created it :

./arcconf create 1 logicaldrive name J4400-1-RAID60 max 60 0 0 0 1 0 2
0 3 0 4 0 5 0 6 0 7 0 8 0 9 0 10 0 11 0 12 0 13 0 14 0 15 0 16 0 17 0
18 0 19 0 20 0 21 0 22 0 23 noprompt

[root< at >solexa1 StorMan]# ./arcconf getconfig 1 ld

openldap mmr + heartbeat hot standby

Wessel van der Aart — 2012-05-23T12:59:06

Hi List,

I've setup 2 openldap servers in n-way multimaster replication mode in a 
test environment, both run centos 6.2,
this works well but now i'm trying to  make these 2 servers failover 
using heartbeat.
i've got no experience with heartbeat (or setting up clusters in 
general) however from what i understand heartbeat starts/stops the 
service if the server has the virtual IP assigned or not.
this would be fine for httpd , but since replication doesn't work when 
slapd is stopped i was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to 
setup heartbeat with a hot standby? so that the service keeps running 
but the ip does gets reassigned when one goes down.

Thanks, Wessel

Reset adapter

sebastian — 2012-05-23T09:49:47

Hi,

one of our rented root-server has a problem with the network-adapter.The 
network is interrupted from time to time and i can not longer connect to 
our server. We can only reboote (remote) the server and restart the network.
I think it was an network-driver-problem from an "Intel Corporation 
82574L Gigabit Network" --- e1000e
But now i have install a new kernel-driver and i have the same problem 
again.

Here an extract of the logs:

Secure VNC access from iPad

david — 2012-05-23T04:32:21

Dear Gurus

If any of you have been successful in using an iPad as a VNC client 
with SSH tunnelling, I'd love to know how it's done.  I have tried 
using the iSSH application, but without success.

I know that the server is accessible from a Windows client (using 
TigerVNC), via an SSH tunnel, so the server is properly configured.

If you have a working example, please let me know what magic sauce you used.

Thanks

David
