Slightly OT: Dell Poweredge 2850 with 4GB RAM
by Sorin＠Gmail 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Hi all, I got the previously mentioned Dell Poweredge 2850 with 4GB RAM and Perc4e raid controller. Installation went well and the raid is pretty fast even with level 5. However I have another problem now... CentOS 5.2 only sees 256MB RAM. Googling a bit, got me to install kernel-PAE, this went well, but CentOS still sees only 256MB. Googling some more, I found a bios update was suggested and might do the trick. Checking what bios version the server had, revealed it was A02. Upon checking the Dell support site I saw they had a version A07, which I downloaded. The file was in bin format and executable via the CLI. Installation of the A07-version went well too with no errors, and it told me to reboot the machine to activate/start the update. Upon reboot, at post, it said the update failed. Now what?? I'm at a loss here. This is my first Dell Poweredge-server and I lack knowledge in the tricks-department with this one. What do I do now? Knowing the Dell-support, I turn to this list in hope of some useful hints in this matter. Thx for any insights. -- Best Wishes Sorin --------------------------------------------- http://home-skynet.servehttp.com/ Proud member of TEAM OS/2.

Samba 3.0.28/3.0.32
by Spike Turner 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

I've looked at the CentOS docs-list as well as the Wiki as I was interested in Samba. On one CentOS box I've got 3.0.32 (the latest bug-fixed version from Samba.org) and on another I've got 3.0.28 (the latest from upstream). The docs look almost the same and the docs refer to security = share. However 3.0.32 comes with a blank smb.conf making it harder to get a secure server up and running. Is there a plan for a quick and dirty guide on the Wiki for setting up Samba with secure settings as well as TDB rather than deprecated settings? In tips and tricks there is http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares Without writing a book as someone suggested, a few one-liners could be put together in the wiki. Spike

Customizing SELinux Policy
by Alain Reguera Delgado 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi Guys, After some moths the server has been running in SELinux Permesive mode ... Some avc: denied messages has been recored ... I thought it was time to go to the next step and set SELinux Enforcing mode in the server ... it is a mail(postfix+cyrus+sasl), web, snmp with mrtg, squid sever with a local TLS configured for webmail access ... I took a look to the Deployment Guide about how to do it ... and tried to build modules with audit2allow from the /var/log/message The modules seem to work fine, because old avc denied messages desappeard ... but some messages like the following appear at /var/log/messages when I do a semodule -i modulename or semodule -r modulename : Oct 5 20:16:11 orion kernel: : exe="?" (sauid=81, hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=?)' Oct 5 20:16:11 orion kernel: audit(1223252171.572:8): policy loaded auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 Oct 5 20:16:41 orion kernel: audit(1223252201.673:9): user pid=2172 uid=81 auid=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbus d_t:s0 msg='avc: received policyload notice (seqno=3) Oct 5 20:16:41 orion kernel: : exe="?"

[Sun Oct 05 19:58:19 2008] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `orion.ciget.cienfuegos.cu' does NOT match server nam e!? Really rare to me because that name `orion.ciget.cienfuegos.cu' is the actual server hostname. When try to connect to the webmail through https:// can't connect to it, the browser reports connection failed after a waiting of a few seconds. http:// works as expected. This machine is fully updated in CentOS-5.2. Linux orion.ciget.cienfuegos.cu 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 19:33:52 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Could you suggest something ? ... Thank you very much guys, al.
