Is it bad for my web document folder to be user accessible?
by Dave Gutteridge 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

PHP and MySQL seem to working on my CentOS installation. I'd like to install phpMyAdmin as well, so I downloaded the necessary files from phpMyAdmin's homepage and copied them to /var/www/html... ... except that's where the process stopped. My regular user account doesn't have permission to write into the /var/www/html folder. Should I just chmod the folder to 777? Is there a reason it's not already user accessible? This is a local machine where I'll be testing web pages of my own design, and not accessible from the web. Or at least I hope not. If I'm running an Apache server just for local files, it's not being seen on the web, is it? Dave

Hi I had accidentally did "mount /media/cdrom" and no cd was present. The command seems to be hung. I tried kill and kill -9 on the mount command. Nothing seems to kill it. Is there anything else to try to stop that command? I'm on centos 4.1 as an asside is there a command that "senses" if there is a CDROM present in the tray so I dount have to mount /media/cdrom and it fail to tell if a cdrom is present. jerry

AD Issues with Centos 4
by Scott Heisler 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I have the latest Centos (4.1), all YUM'd up to date. I've been through the How-TO's on Samba's site as well as 4 million other sites and still can't get proper AD (Active Directory) Authentication to work. It looks like it's working, appears in the domain server list and pulls users and groups. If I do a klist -u, I see all the users with domain+username correctly. However, I can't apply any of that security to any directories on the box or see those users with Webmin (when doing Samba Share security). The users who don't have local accounts can't browse the samba server either (as soon as they connect, it pops up the login ID & Pass) I followed everything and have been working on the issue for 4 days. Am I missing something? Please help! Thanks.

booting from copied ext3 software raid fs to normal fs
by dan1 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hello. I am trying to boot CentOS 4 from a copy of an ext3 software RAID 1 filesystem (md) which has been copied to a normal ext3 filesystem (hd). I am almost getting there, exept that the system hangs after booting the kernel. I copied the datas from the /boot and / partitions to two similar partitions on the backuped disk with mirrordir (can also be done with cp or dd). I have setup the new disk with grub and I can reach the grub stage 2. It will also boot the kernel properly, but it will hang during the SElinux initialisation (which is disabled). I don't know exactly if it's a mount or SElinux problem. Also, it seems that the raid device is trying to be initialised, and I don't have an md but an hd on that drive. This comes probably from the original setup. My question is: does somebody know how I can change that behaviour and let linux mount the hd instead of the md coming from the original ? Do I need to boot another vmlinuz image or another initrd for it to work properly ? In this case, how could I generate those new images ? The output of the boot sequence is the following: Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev Loading raid1.ko module md: raid1 personnality registered as nr 3 Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root SElinux: Disabled at runtime SElinux: Unregistering netfilter hooks Then, it hangs here undefinitely. Here is my menu.lst grub file on the backup disk I want to boot from: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.9-11.106.unsupported) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported.img Here is it's fstab: none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Daniel

applets reported as dying unexpectedy on login
by Tony 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Ever since the xorg-x11 security update of September 13th, I often see the following 3 messages on login: The "Show Desktop" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? The "Window List" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? The "Workspace Switcher" applet appears to have died unexpectedly.Do you want to reload this applet? Answering yes to all 3 keeps things ticking along happily- but it's not good for my users to see this as they have just about got the hang of answering 'no' by default when an o/s pops up some unexpected question that they don't understand. I'm seeing this across quite a wide range of i386 machines - from 1GHz pIII's authenticating by LDAP to a standalone 3200+ Athlon at a completely different location. I assume this is either an upstream bug, or a consistent misconfiguration on my part. Is anyone else seeing it, or does anyone have any suggestions? -- Cheers, Tony

C4 - mod_authz_ldap - weird behavoir
by Petr Klíma 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

hi I have problem with mod_authz_ldap with this setup: <Directory /var/www/html/weby_2005> AuthzLDAPServer "ldap:389" AuthzLDAPUserBase dc=group,dc=cz AuthzLDAPBindDN uid=ds,ou=People,dc=group,dc=cz AuthzLDAPBindPassword XXXXX AuthzLDAPUserKey uid AuthzLDAPUserScope subtree AuthzLDAPLogLevel debug # needed for user auth AuthzLDAPMethod ldap # needed for group auth AuthzLDAPMethod ldap AuthzLDAPGroupBase ou=Groups,dc=group,dc=cz AuthzLDAPGroupKey cn # map users to the uid uid for membership checking AuthzLDAPMapUserToAttr uid AuthzLDAPSetGroupAuth map # this means that the memberUid attribute must match the uid # (which is the result of the map operation) AuthzLDAPMemberKey memberUid AuthType basic AuthName "Katalog" <Limit GET POST> deny from all allow from all #require user klima require valid-user #require group wprgs </Limit> </Directory> When I use "require valid-user" or "require group wprgs" it works perfectly (I can login with username "klima", but "require user klima" it replies "Forbidden". What is weird that it ask for password one time and then just shows "Forbiden" ... When I changed setting of Apache and reload it logs without asking passwd ... (it looks like "Iam loged but cannot login") -- Petr Klíma e-mail: qaxi(a)seznam.cz
