Package Tracking System
by Server Gremlin 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hello CentOS users, Is there any sort of package tracking system for CentOS? I'm used to Debian where I can view a changelog for each *Debian* specific package. This is great because I can see specifically what has been fixed and what known issues remain from release to release in the Debian package, which is subtly different from the upstream release. For instance, I can see what's changed from "apache2.1-debian.deb" to "apache2.2-debian.deb" by using the Debian Package Tracking System. (I'm fudging the package names, but you get the idea). Is there anything like that in CentOS? Thanks, - SG

Hi list If a user connect by Console or OpenSSH and type in the wrong password, I wish to delay the next password prompt. Use case is for example brute force attacks. I played with FAIL_DELAY in login.defs, but without success. cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle(a)swissjabber.org

Question about centos 4 or 5 install with software RAID
by Jerry Geis 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

When doing software RAID-1 installs on reboot (just after install) I ALWAYS get RAID device is not clear - preforming reconstruction. Why is this? If I just installed the array should be in sync shouldnt it? And clean? Not that this is a big deal - it just seems odd. It does reconstruction and life goes on. Is something special at install time that we are only installing on one disk of the array and after reboot it now says we are unclean and populates the second disk in the array? Thanks, Jerry

SELinux question - to fix bug in Webmin
by Lanny Marcus 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

I found a bug in Webmin when using Webmin with SELinux in Permissive Mode. The author of Webmin, asked me, in their bug tracker on SourceForge: > Ok, thanks ... I see the problem. Webmin opens the log file > /var/webmin/miniserv.error and connects STDERR to it, then runs other > commands like iptables, which inherits the STDERR file descriptor. > This is generally a good thing, as any error output from the iptables > command will go to that log file. > > But with selinux enabled, this fails as iptables doesn't have the > security context needed to write to that file. > Is there a chcon option or other command that can allow a file to be > written by any process? If so, I should update Webmin to run that on > the error log file. I replied that I'm a newbie and could he clarify, in newbie terms, what he would like me to find. He then replied: > Unfortunately I am a newbie when it comes to selinux too :-( > What I am looking for is a way to selinux that any process can write > to a file. I suspect that the chcon command can do this, but am not > sure how.. SELinux people: Can you explain what he needs? <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=117457&aid=1781101&group_…> TIA! Lanny

My server won't boot (grub looping - stage2)
by mbneto 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi, This morning one of my servers (centos 4.5) refused to boot. The console shows a lopp message grub loading stage2... I've been able to boot from the install CD choosing the rescue option. I can chroot /mnt/sysimage with no problems and even started the services (network, mysql , httpd etc). How can I solve this? I've followed the manual ( http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-gru…) but now just keeps beeping with the GRUB fixed :) I have 3 IDE disks, hda, hde and hdg. My /boot is a raid device /dev/md0 of /dev/(hda2,hde2,hdg2). cat /proc/mdstat shows all disks online and active in the array. I have tried the grub-install --root-directory=boot --no-floppy hd0 (ou /dev/hda). With the same results. Ideas?

Fujitsu RX200 S3
by Camron W. Fox 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Alle, I am trying to install CentOS 5 on a Dual Xeon 5160 FJ RX200 S3. The RAID hardware is an internal LSI MPT 1068 SAS/RAID controller (LSI 1068SASIME-2300). I have downloaded the drivers (mptsas, mptscsih and mptbase) and created the required floppy. When I run linux dd after booting from either the DVD or Disk 1 of the CentOS distro, it says it loads mptsas, mptbase and mptscsih and then comes up with "No drivers of the appropriate type were found", etc... Consequently, the RAID device is not found and no disks are available for installation. When I do this with RHEL5 Disk 1, the drivers load correctly and there is no problem. I went to the LSI Logic site to download the drivers directly from there, but they apparently don't support RHEL5 as of yet for the LSISAS1068. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
