i've updated my cent OS two weeks ago and had a real big crash. (The last update, before this update was in november 2009). I get the login window and when i try to logon as root i get the following message:

I run a CentOS 5.1 using VMServer on XP. From home I can successfully 'cvs login' to my CVS server. But starting 'cvs update', the connection times out.
Netstat shows the connection as established:
# netstat -an | grep 2401
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.35:58651 85.25.xx.xx:2401 ESTABLISHED
CVS server is domain managed with dnsalias service (dyndns.org)
Using the same computer at work (other ISP) I have no problems - cvs update works just fine.
Can I assume that it is not a port/firewall issue, since "cvs login" is successful? Any clues where to start diggin'?
I made a public folder, and have set public = yes, guest ok = yes.But every time I access it from other host (linux or windows), Samba still prompts to login. I want to have Samba not prompt, any methods, please?
The following is my smb.conf

I am testing CentOS 5.4 on a virtual machine before deploying to a server.I am trying to get authentication through our Active Directory server, without actually joining the machine to the domain.I tried multiple tutorials, including this one: URL...Basically I enabled authentication through kerberos and modified my ldap.conf file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI followed the Perfect Server Setup form HowToForge using the CentOS 5.2 dist because it said it ran ISPconfig3 right out of the box on their site. (by the way, its VERY difficult finding 5.2 i dont know why)
Everything went fine until I had to run yum update, then I keep getting messages that it can't connect to the repositories.
I dont know if it's an issue of my nic not functioniing, or if there is something wrong with my network settings.
1) how can i verify that the nic is working? (using lspci it's listed and has [tulip] after it)
2) do i need to change the repos url?
i've configured my laptop so i can use my domain account (active directory win 2003 DC) to logon to my machine. Now i'd like to browse and mount shares etc using my logon information. Now when i connect to a share with nautilus it tells me 'guest' can't log in and i need to re-enter my user info. This is a real pain since our passwords change often. Is there some way i can use PAM to authenticate? I've searched everywhere, but you only find info about the other way round (win->linux).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a yum update this morning that included a dnsmasq update. Subsequently, for an unrelated reason, I restarted dnsmasq, but it failed because /etc/dnsmasq.d didn't exist. It looks like my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file now includes "conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d" at the end. Since dnsmasq was starting and I didn't remove dnsmasq.d, I assume this line was added by the update. Commenting the line resolves the issue.
An alternative hypothesis, given that I don't really know what the state of /etc/dnsmasq.conf and /etc/dnsmasq.d/ was before the update, might be that the directory did exist, but was removed by the update. I find this the least likely of my 2 stated hypotheses. (There are other hypotheses, but I think they are even less likely). Am I correct is concluding the conf-dir line was added by the update? If so, shouldn't the updated RPM create the directory during install?
I am currently working to get to a stable dual boot Win7/CentOS 5.5 configuration on a Dell Latitude E6510 with the Intel 82577LM chipset. I haven't gotten the Centrino N WiFI chipset working yet, but the Eth0 device was working just fine.However, yesterday I did a system update. I did not pay close attention, but I believe the update did mention networking, because I thought it might help me get my wireless going. Now, Eth0 fails with the message, "Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present. Check cable?" It does this at boot up and if we try reactivating it once the system is up. We have tried unstalling and re-installing the driver.The Window 7 boot sees the adapter and runs just fine. I was at a different site location yesterday when everything was working, but my co-workers and I can't help but think it might be related to the update yesterday, since everything worked prior to the update and Windoze 7 works fine with the adapter.
I have not been able to mount my NTFS harddrive on the CentOS side, despite installing fuse, and I don't have wireless, which makes it difficult to get access to new drivers. I also have a FAT32 partition that would be great to share between the boots for passing info, but I haven't found a way to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS.
I have several CentOS 32-bit VMs running on ESX 4. Those that were updated to the most current patch level ("yum update", accepting all updates available last week) started showing load average of ~0.4 when completely idle. After comparing the problematic VMs with those that show zero load average at idle, and then modifying them in all kinds of ways, I narrowed it down to the combination of a recent kernel patch (2.6.18-164 is fine, 2.6.18-194 is not) and E1000 network adapter. Replacing the network adapter on a problematic VM with VMXNET3 fixes the load statistics.

Most others are 64-bit and bar an Evolution issue are fine.In this case, 24 hours after the upgrade the machine wanted to do an Update. It would not allow the update until I fixed some broken packages which I did via Synaptics Package Manager. I then Marked All Upgrades and did the update from there.It was fine until I shut down and tried to log in again.I got the Blue Screen of Death!!!!!! I thought only Windows had this!Anyway, I could not log in. The auto login was not working so I used Other which gave me Recovery, entered my UN and PW, and I got the error message:

I have searched the forum and some other sites, but none of the ideas can I get to work. I can start the machine using a 9.10 CD in the trial mode, but can not download the files suggested or delete the ICEauthority file, etc...

The error is the same for the other computer except while attempting to update the rpmforge repository. Nothing has really changed on the servers in some time and 'yum update' worked fine on each yesterday and I have no idea why they would both suddenly fail!
I installed CentOS 5.2 and then run yum update. I configured this server as LDAP/Samba primary domain controller. LDAP seems to be OK and for testing I am able to create users with:smbldap-tools useradd -am usernameI can ssh into the server as root and also as a Linux user which was locally created in the server. But ssh into the server as LDAP user fails (from a Fedora 11 machine) with "Permission denied, please try again", prompting again for password.Some data:

i am using openssh 5.2-p1, i want to restrict user "admin" to login to the server from a specific IP address, for this purpose i have tried the following blocks in sshd_config file.Following is the part of the sshd_config file which i have modified
#The following commands will only allow specific IP to login to ssh.
#AllowUsers admin user1 user2
#AllowGroups
# override default of no subsystems.Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match Group sftpgroup
ChrootDirectory /home

i want to restrict admin user to login to the server only from 172.16.100.221 IP which can be done by using AllowUser line, but i dont want to use AllowUser line,
For some reason, when I do a yum check-update I get a list of no changed packages to install. If I follow this immediately with a yum update then it tries to install drbd83. I've tried a yum clean all and repeated the commands and get the same thing. This happens on both the machines that are set up to use DRBD. Just seems weird and I don't understand. Anyone got an explanation?

View 5 Replies View RelatedJust checking to be sure. 5.3>5.4 update went without a hitch:) But a message ran about (/etc/yum.repo.d) CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew. Comparing CentOS-Base.repo with the new one show the 1st has the correct priorities and .rpmnew does not have the correct priorities. Should I remove the *.rpmnew repo after making sure it otherwise is the same as the original CentOS-Base.repo?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am an old days RH release user(from 6.x) and just switching back from Debian/Ubuntu to CentOS on some servers, but I can not understand the kernel update strategy currently enabled in CentOS.There are two boxes, with almost identical installation, but recently there was an auto update of kernel on one box. This auto update also seems to issue an auto reboot on the machine, which is unacceptable on server machines.

I've very new to linux, so please excuse my ignorance. I am trying to setup a number of servers to authenticate against my Windows Server 2003 active directory. I have successfully done this with one computer (Dell Optiplex 755), but I can?t seem to get it to work with my servers (Dell PowerEdge R710). I am using Fedora 11. I have setup samba and pam and have successfully joined the network. Everything with winbind seems to be working properly and I can get all the user info, etc. When I log in with a local account, everything is fine. If I try to log in with an account from my domain through SSH, I see the message Code:/usr/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/apkelley/.XauthorityAfter that, nothing happens and it is as if I haven?t connected to anything. If I try to log into the actual server using the graphical interface, it starts logging me in, shows a blank screen for about a second, and then returns to the login screen as if nothing has happened.I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for how I might fix this problem or how to find out more information about the error.Here are my smb.conf and system-auth files:

After some testing for a couple of days, I decided to take the plunge and update all my 5.3 machines. Using the recipe from the release notes:
yum clean all
yum update glibc*
yum update yum* rpm* python*
yum clean all
yum update
shutdown -r now
I updated some guinea pigs that I had physical access to and didn't have any issues. So I remotely updated a small farm of LAMP machines that handle a couple of million page views per day. It took each machine approximately 5-6 minutes to download/install/reboot.
This morning I had the notification that there were 21 updates available, and I selected to install them. The system then notified me that a restart was required and I clicked the restart button. After restarting, the system boots to the GUI screen and I select my name and enter the password. It then plays the login sound, the cursor "swirls" and it cycles back to the login screen. Switching over to another terminal screen I can login from the command line.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu very well for around a year, until an update caused me to be unable to log in. I didn't want to take the time to find a solution, so I simply installed Mint in a new partition. Unfortunately, a month later Mint started having the same problem. I can't even get my data off of my Ubuntu partition as I encrypted my home folder. I would like to recover that at the very least, but preferably I would like to be able to log in again since I'm stuck with Vista right now.
When the computer starts, the log in screen is an off white with blue highlighting, different from what it usually is. In the upper right hand corner, it says, "Install problem! The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator." I tried package repair in recovery mode to no avail. I can log in to the CLI in recovery mode, but not the GUI.
I just ran a "yum update" on my CentOS 5.3 system. After a reboot, I noticed /etc/redhat-release show CentOS 5.4.
I thought yum upgrade was supposed to do that?
