httpd and krb5.conf
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 19 May '05

19 May '05

I've noticed that SELinux blocks httpd (standard CentOS httpd, simply installed from RPM) from writing to krb5.conf file. Question. Why on earth would httpd need write access to krb5.conf file?! Sure, it might need read access if it is configured to use Kerberos for authentication, but write!? I mean, web server that modifies one of the critical files (which is used for authentication/authorization)?

Tried a different distribution with the latest kernel, and indeed the PTA drives on the Promise controller were recognized but they were recognized as two separate drives while the controller was in RAID mode (rather than IDE mode). Are you saying that even if the drives are recognized, I will not be able to implement RAID in hardware mode? Any other options installing CenOS 4 on unsupported hd controller besides: a. install CentOS 4 while drive in recognized hd controller b. get new kernel c. compile/install new kernel (without pulling my hair out) d. move drives to unsupported hd controller e. set controller to IDE mode f. boot using new kernel (while praying) g. do software RAID --------------------------------- TIA Bogdan

Announce list filters
by Henk van Lingen 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hi, (sorry, new thread, already dropped the previous postings) Johnny H. just posted a surprising feature: filtering options for the announce list. But they don't seem to be right or there is no announce standard. Pasi is posting storms of non i386 things. He uses: "CentOS 3 s390" the filter has: "CentOS-3 s390" Regards, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems & Network Administrator (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University. /\ | phone: +31-30-2535278 v_/_ http://henk.vanlingen.net/ http://www.tuxtown.net/netiquette/

Re: [CentOS] Installing CentOS on RAID PATA not SATA - A8V
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 19 May '05

If you want just ATA/SATA support of single drives, that will work. The RAID functionality will never work, because it is 100% software-based (the 16-bit BIOS setup is just for boot-time). I call this "FRAID" and it is not hardware RAID (it adds *0* hardware). Any drivers will be proprietary and not open source, because they contain RAID code licensed from a 3rd party that is not GPL (and never will be, because it is the core IP of that 3rd party and the lifeblood of their business). There are independent, clean room GPL drivers (ataraid + pdcraid), but they are likely to corrupt your volume -- especially on newer FRAID BIOSes that may change the organization. -----Original Message----- From: Bogdan Nicolescu <bo2k2(a)yahoo.com> Sent: May 18, 2005 3:31 PM To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS] Installing CentOS on RAID PATA not SATA - A8V I'm trying to install CentOS 4 on an A8V on the PATA/Raid drives on the Promise controller.

Centos-announce censoring :-)
by Maciej Zenczykowski 18 May '05

Hi! I have a quick question about the centos-announce mailing list, is there some guide as to what the subject lines of all the mails there are (ie. for regexps)? I want to filter everything that isn't related to CentOS 4 i386 out to /dev/null... Cheers and thanks, MaZe.

KPPP: why root?
by Mark Weaver 18 May '05

18 May '05

Hi All, I'm wondering about something that seems a bit odd. I've setup a CentOS 4 box for a client that is "still" using dial-up and to activate the connection appears to require root privileges. Why is this? The reason Linux was loaded on this box was to provide a very functional box that could be easily locked down so when the cat was away the mice couldn't play, however, if the mice need root access to activate the dial-up connection this really defeats the purpose. Whats up with Kppp needing root access? thanks, Mark
