SELinux Relabeling
by Jorge Fábregas 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hello everyone, If create a folder called "whatever" under /var, the context is: root:object_r:var_t /var/whatever/ That's expected as it is under /var. If I then change its type: chcont -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever The context looks like: root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever/ My question is...Shouldn't a relabeling of the filesystem change the type of this directory back to var_t? I just performed a relabel (/.autorelabel) and the directory stayed with httpd_sys_content_t. I thought that the only way this could happen was if I used "semanage fcontext -a ...." so that a new line would be appended in: /etc/selinux//etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local. Not only that, If I perform "matchpathcon /var/whatever" I still get var_t as its default type. Then again, why it kept the httpd_sys_content_t after the relabel? Thansk in advance, Jorge

mysql query logging
by Craig White 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Nothing I have done so far seems to work # cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user=mysql # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 max_allowed_packet=2MB [mysqld_safe] log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid log-query=/var/log/mysql-query.log empty and then I added to /etc/init.d/mysqld get_mysql_option mysqld_safe log "/var/log/mysqld-query.log" querylogfile="$result" -and- start(){ touch "$querylogfile" chown mysql:mysql "$querylogfile" chmod 0640 "$querylogfile" but nothing is logged. Can someone toss me a bone here? Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

which ldap do you like
by Gregory P. Ennis 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

To All, I am going to try my hand at setting up an ldap server. I have looked at what is available and would like to ask your opinions as to what is a good one to have. openldap, centos-ds, and freeipa seem to be high on everyone's list. Which one do you like, and does it have a good setup tutorial I could use. So far the tutorials I have looked at seem out of sync with the curent versions of ldap servers. Greg Ennis

Re: [CentOS] Trouble running 'alsamixer' as normal user on headless box

I was trying to configure the jukebox by SSHing into it, and I could only perform sound tasks, including running alsamixer and mpd, as root. Comparing to another CentOS box, the jukebox's /dev/dsp was owned by root and the other CentOS box's /dev/dsp was owned by the logged in user. Aha, I figured I needed to be logged in as a user to the physical jukebox machine in order to grant ownership to the soundcard. The jukebox had no user logged into it, as it had just rebooted. A solution, of course, would be to enable autologin on the jukebox. I can't give the technical answer as to why this happens, but just how it happens and how I managed to get it to work. I hope this helps. -Brian

yum repo priority
by Alan McKay 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hey folks, I'm setting up some kickstart files for our standard configs, and need to install munin-node, which of course does not come from you folks, So I set up the Dag Wieers repository but in the repo file I set it to "disabled" so that it will never get used by mistake. Then when adding munin-node I do : yum --enablerepo=dag -y install munin-node But that pulls in a bunch of dependencies. And I'm not sure where it will pull them from. I know that Dag has basically everything, but I only want to get munin-node from there. How do I ensure this happens? I could do a hack and now that I have a list of dependencies I could precede the above call with another to add those, but keep Dag repo turned off. But I'd sooner understand more on how it works :-) thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

question on wget
by Dave 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hello, I've got an ftp site, not mine, that has content on it that i want to download. It's not anonymous so it requires a log in. The problem is either the ISP has a bandwidth throttle or the admin does, in either case inconsistently as to the point in the file, but i rarely get a complete download. I'm using ncftp. I was wondering if either ncftpget or wget could do like an auto get and keep getting more and more until it has the complete file? Thanks. Dave.
