CentOS 5 (beta): tomcat/keystore issue
by Paul Heinlein 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

I (somewhat sadly, imo) need to run Tomcat/SSL on a public-facing machine at work. I was really, really hoping I could use the GCJ-compiled version of Tomcat supplied in the base repository. I can't get Tomcat to read a Java keystore created with the keytool utility provided (in java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.110). The Sun and GNU keytools produce different keystores. I'll use the Tomcat nomenclature to describe the differences. Obviously, I'm looking for the correct "algorithm" (i.e., certificate signing algorithm) setting: Toolset keystoreType algorithm ------- ------------ --------- Sun JKS SunX509 GNU GKR ??? The Tomcat that ships with CentOS 4.92 defaults to assuming keystoreType="JKS" and algorithm="SunX509" so that in /etc/tomcat5/server.xml the Connector tag will assume those values, e.g., <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" [....] scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreType="JKS" algorithm="SunX509" /> With those settings -- either implicitly (since they're the default) or explicitly -- Tomcat fails to start an SSL listener. The catalina.out log reports: SEVERE: Exception trying to load keystore /path/to/keystore java.security.KeyStoreException: JKS If I set keystoreType="gkr", the error changes: SEVERE: Error initializing endpoint java.io.IOException: SunX509 I've taken some wild stabs at guessing the algorithm string ("X.509", "X509", "GnuX509", "GNU-CRYPTOX509", and some others), to no avail. My keystore seems to be valid, since "keytool -list" run against it produces the expected output. My google-foo has failed me completely. Help, anyone? -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein(a)madboa.com <> www.madboa.com

A few issues
by Mark Hull-Richter 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

1) Is this the right place for kernel internals questions and if not, what is? (Refresher: I am relatively new to Linux kernel internals, but not kernels in general. I've work on Unix and proprietary kernels, including my first seven years as a professional developing a whole system from the ground up.) 2) I noticed this morning that my GLMatrix screensaver is not working any more. I poked around and found a whole bunch of others that stopped working, including all the GLxxx screensavers. Any particular reason for this? The matrix one worked a couple of days ago even when I had to futz with the screen resolution and monitor resolution settings. 3) Now that I mention it, I'm still having trouble running the display configuration settings applet (it comes and asks for the root password, then disappears). What's up with that? This happens here at work and also at home.... 4) With but one partition left to convert from NTFS to ext3, this one had to be the difficult one. It's my old C: partition from which I used to boot Windows. Three times now, with cp and tar, it has hung somewhere in the Documents and Settings directory and nothing brings it back. I managed to hang my whole system with a bad shell function, but the reboot brought everything back. I've gone to a directory-by-directory backup, excluding the D&S until tonight, but I was wondering if anyone knows why that one would be so difficult. I have no lack of disk space, so that's definitely not the problem. It stopped on one of the music player settings databases, slowing down at each one progressively until it hit the one that hung it, and these were hung for hours, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't just me being impatient. Probably OT.... Thanks.

Building i386 packages on a x86_64 system
by Bernhard Gschaider 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Hi! Is there an easy way to do that? I looked around and the way that is usually advertised is setarch i386 rpmbuild --target=i386 --rebuild .... but for the SRPMs I've tried it always fails at tests in the Spec-File (like %ifnarch x86_64) The RPM I try to build doesn't compile anything (it just wraps a TAR-File), so setting up mock isn't necessary in my opinion. Is there any way to use the --target-switch? Thanks

centos 4.4 dns problem -
by Bob Goodwin 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Upon installing Centos 4.4 a second time it worked "out of the box" as expected. Sorry that I caused a stir over a non-problem. I still have no idea what I did that may have caused dns to fail, I think I made all the same choices and entries the second time around? However doing this in the wee hours I had no interruptions or distractions ... Should anyone be interested the dns servers are: cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 12.189.32.61 nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 but there may be a problem here: service named status rndc: connect failed: connection refused I'm not certain about that but next is to run yum update and do some other configuration to satisfy my own preferences. Thanks much to all. Bob Goodwin Zuni, Virginia

Shell Question
by Al Sparks 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

So I list out some directories, and I redirect the output to a file called "out". I do it with: find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \)' > out I then go into "out" using my favorite editor and remove any directories I don't want to search. When I do a find `cat out` -name 'something*' I get an error on any directories with whitespace in them. When I try to place quotes around that name, it doesn't work, nor does putting a backslash in front of the space help. Any shell experts out there have any ideas? === Al

How to properly bridge the network to CentOS under Parallels on a Macbook Pro?
by Olaf Greve 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Hi all, I have recently acquired a Macbook Pro (sweet machine!) from my employer, and one of the tasks the machine has to do is to run a distributed software development platform (called Splice) under Linux. For this task, I have chosen the trusty CentOS 4.4, and I have it set up in Parallels. So far, so good. Now then, the network does work within CentOS, but I want to assign it a fixed IP address, such that the DDS layer of the distributed platform can transparently communicate to (and from) the virtual machine. More specifically, the entire network, in which the Splice DDS runs, is a 192.168.1.x local network. There are already two 'real' (i.e. not virtual) machines, with IPs 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.42, which both work swell with one another. Now, the Macbook itself has the IP address 192.168.1.121, but the bridged network connection is a DHCP range, running from 10.211.55.1 - 10.211.55.254, and I want to be able to 'see' the VM from anywhere within the 192.168.1.x network. Presently, from the VM I can already see the machines in the 192.168.1.x network, but the other way round not. When the VM is e.g. assigned the address 10.211.55.4, I cannot ping that address from the other machines in the 192.168.1.x network. Note, from that network I can ping correctly to 192.168.1.121. The main question then becomes: how can I 'see' the VM from the 192.168.1.x network? I *think* I have to change something in the parallels network or parallels NAT configuation, but I am not certain what it should be set to, and I do not want to risk messing up all sorts of settings. Also, in CentOS I do know how to set a fixed IP address, but I am not certain if perhaps I have to add a 'direct route' or so. Does anyone know if this is (also) necessary? Thanks in advance for any and all answers, and cheers, Olafo

CentOS 5 Beta - Yum Updates?
by Styma, Robert E (Robert) 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

I am new to CentOS. I mostly use Fedora Core. I installed the CentOS 5 Beta on a test machine from the DVD. I configured it with both KDE and Gnome. I am using the default YUM configurtion which loaded with the DVD. Unlike FC7T2, CentOS 5 Beta does not seem to pick up Yum updates. Is this by design or do I need to add repos to my /etc/yum.repos.d? Thanks for any suggestions Bob Styma
