I have recently installed Centos 5.4 on a server with 3 network cards. I am trying to enable IP forwarding which has been successful by executing the following command:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I tried to make this permanent by adding net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 to the /etc/sysctl.conf file.
When I restart the network service I get the following code...
I am using
# uname -rmi
2.6.18-194.26.1.el5PAE i686 i386
# cat /etc/*release*
cat: /etc/lsb-release.d: Is a directory
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
I have noticed that after few days of ideal system it will stop its network interface. To resolve this I have to login to the machine it self and then issue
# service network start
Is this a feature. If this is not a feature then what is this. As an workaround I am thinking of adding service network restart in cron tab for everyday in night when I am not using it.
I have setup a backup system on a NFS Server, and everything is working fine.Then, I decided to make changes to my backup script, and accidentally, I turned off both the NFS Server and Client without unmounting first.The NFS Server is working fine, but the client is having a problem. I cannot shutdown the nfs service. Here is what I get when I type "service nfs restart":
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]

I am trying to setup LDAP server on Ubuntu 10.04 and am sticking to the old /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file configuration.
I had to comment ldapi:/// from /etc/default/slapd since it was giving 'Address already in use error'. Also had to juggle with pid directory and file issues
After that I was able to start the slapd daemon (service slapd start) but now I am running into multiple issues:
1. Can't stop the service with service slapd stop
Code:
## Service stop returns 0, maybe because start-stop-daemon is not giving error
#service slapd stop
Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
# echo $?
0
Will switching to BDB database resolve this ?Also can't I slapcat at non-root user ??
I googled it and found this information: To enable the telnet service, login to the server as the root user account and run the following commands:
Code:
# chkconfig telnet on
# service xinetd reload
but the very first command did not work.
So, how do we...
[1] start and stop telnet service on UNIX / Linux?
[2] specify configurations / settings for the telnet service to accept or deny connections
whats the difference between restarting/stopping apache using 'service httpd restart/stop' and apachectl restart/stop. I know that using 'service httpd restart' is actually a script in /etc/init.d/httpd but what about apachectl?

I have a webservice which runs under Apache Tomcat. The service is started via a script in /etc/init.d. During the course of the Web service processing, the software must make use of the two NVIDIA GPUs on the computer to do some graphics processing. When this system is booted but not logged in, the web service is accessible but the software cannot access the software cannot access the X server to do it's processing. However, when I am logged in, the user can access the X servers and run correctly. I have tried various solutions but I always have to be logged in to run the software. I seem to have permissions problems but I'm unsure how to resolve them
Is there any way to grant permissions to root (the tomcat service is started as root) to allow it to run the software without logging in?
I am running CentOS 5.4 with Gnome display manager.
I am trying to accomplish an objective, I need to get 389 Directory server installed in the process however is it possible to just have email addresses of users in the LDAP server? I have a primary domain, example 'abcefg.com' with about 3,000 users and several hosted domains like 'xyz.com' and 'mno.com'. The end goal is to speed up email processing, so instead of the Barracuda asking the email server(s) if a user exist it queries the LDAP.
Is there a way to configure 389 Directory Server to contain just the email addresses of the end users to allow the Barracuda to poll the LDAP server to verify the email address is valid. The rest of the authentication like password is handled by the email server. So in the end the LDAP server would just contain the email addresses (live) and the Barracuda would query the LDAP asking if joebob@abcefg.com exist if it does carry on. If user xxeedd@abcefg.com does not exist drop it and go on.

When I start or stop this service using the "service" command all is fine, but it does not start on it's own at bootup. I am currently at a loss to determine why it is not starting. Here is the script:

Now I have to build and FTP service in this webhosting server so that i can create indviudal login for each website and provide access to thier respective web directory only. This is where I am stuck. I have been trying to find out some docs and instructions to achieve this but in vain.
What I need is to configure an FTP service in the web server so that individual owner of websites can login to thieir respective web directories only and upload and download files as well as create, delete and modify the contents of their web directory.
Our mail server keeps on hanging after a while. This happened after there was a breakdown in electricity supply and the server room air conditioners stopped working for almost half a day. We are not sure whether this is a server hardware problem or a coincidence with a break-in attempt or malware activity.
Following are the message from the server log code...
I am new to linux, running a brand new centos 5.2 server. One application I want to use it for is to serve as a network host for a game my friends and I enjoy. Normally, to run the game in host mode you call the binary and pass it a port number (along with other options). To host a second instance of the game, same thing different port, you get the idea.
After doing that the binary runs in your window and dumps to stdout, so if you want it to run 24/7 you have to come up with your own strategy like nohup. Fair enough, now, I'm trying to coax the game into restarting automatically upon reboot. The most correct way to do this seemed to be to write a script for init.d so that's the road I traveled down. Now, to strain the metaphor, the pavement has ended and I'm stuck in the sand.
Here begin my questions:
I've been following the structure of other init.d scripts and I notice they all seem to call the function daemon() (contained in /etc/init.d/functions) to start their services. Looking at the structure of daemon() I see that you can pass it a user and a pidfile. The user part seems to work fine, but no pidfile is created. Let me be more specific.
Like the other scripts, I explicitly touch /var/lock/subsys/game-port on startup, which works fine. However, all of those other services seem to have a pidfile in /var/run and mine doesn't. They don't create it explicitly in their init.d script therefore I assume that some other process is creating the pidfile. At first I thought it would be the call to daemon(), since you have the option of passing it --pidfile, but that doesn't seem to work.
Are the services themselves creating the pidfile? If that's the case then I have more complications because the game binary apparently doesn't do this. Second question but probably related to the first. None of the other init.d scripts I looked at seem to do anything special to detach their services from a particular terminal session, therefore I didn't think that I would need to either.
Again I thought this was something the call to daemon() might accomplish, but either I'm wrong or I'm doing something wrong. I can probably work around this with nohup or appending '&' or something, but I'm just curious that other services like crond, sshd, named, etc., don't seem to do this. Are they determining this behavior from within the binaries themselves? I hope this is clear, as I said I'm new so I may not be getting all of the terminology correct.
I've a java program which needs to be executed regardless of whether a user is logged in or not. Currently I've a shell script which executes the java program. I login to the server and run this shell script when the server is rebooted. I would like to start this script automatically preferably as a service so that I can stop and restart this service whenever I update the java program.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere is a particular java app called LanguageTool which we need to host on our centos server. Other applications are supposed to send an http request to this machine; this machine should pass this data (received over the http request) to the java application concerned, obtain the output from the app; and then send this response back to the requesting client...
We need to set this app as a service on startup. The centos machine might restarted from time to time; so we expect this service should startup automatically. What can I do to get this done?

I'm running VNC Server on CentOS5 on a brand new installation, this is for some of my students to use specific software via VNC on their machines from home that they otherwise don't have access to on their Windows machines. This has been working fine on our previous server for a few years but the hardware is now outdated so I have upgraded and put a fresh install of CentOS 5 on. This works fine for about 24 hours and then eventually one of the session ends up freezing where the user then can see everything on their session, the cursor can move but they cant click a single thing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new in configuring named.I want to set my firewall (Fedora 11) as a name server. The local domain is a Windows domain. I'd like internal users translate domain name into IP on this server when they go to the internet. After reading some posts on the web, I set up named as below. It seems the named does the job but with some problems.
1) When I start the server, I couldn't find the named process even if the file "named" is in /etc/init.d. I can browse Internet on the server with domain name (DNS works locally). But internal users couldn't get the domain name translated. If I shutdown the server at this stage, it will shutdown within 1 minute.
2) If I run "service named start" after the server boot up, I see process "named" and named work okay. Both internal user and local host can browse Internet with domain name. However, any command starting with "service named" has no response after this, such as "service named status" or "service named stop". I can see it shows "stopping named" and this last forever. I have to kill the process then restart named server so that named may run again.
3) If I shutdown the server now, it will take 4-5 minute instead of 1 minute in 1). The shutdown stuck at "shutdown named" for 4 minutes. Even if I kill process named before the shutdown, it will take 4-5 minutes.
It took me a week on this issue. I appreciate if you could take a look my configure files and guide me through this.
I know this is not something that's usually done, but how do I stop a service like Apache only when I log on my user account?
