(In)(x)sane privilege/access issue
by Mark 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

I just picked up a new HP OfficeJet J3680 all-in-one (because, as previously posted, my 4315 broke), and I was able to install the printer using the latest hplip's hp-setup command, BUT: My sane: libsane-hpaio.x86_64 1.6.7-4.1.el5.4 installed sane-backends.x86_64 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-devel.i386 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-devel.x86_64 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-libs.i386 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-libs.x86_64 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-frontends.x86_64 1.0.14-1.2.2 installed xsane.x86_64 0.991-5.el5 installed xsane-gimp.x86_64 0.991-5.el5 installed doesn't recognize that there is a scanner out there and only loads the interface for my old ScanJet 3300C: [mar@marichter ~]$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 012: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 In fact, the new scanner doesn't even show up unless: [mar@marichter ~]$ sudo lsusb [sudo] password for mar: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 015: ID 03f0:3112 Hewlett-Packard Bus 002 Device 012: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 If I run xsane from the command line as root (i.e., with sudo), then it works, but then I also get that WARNING DANGER WILL ROBINSON message, which is both annoying and probably likely to cause problems with file permissions on my scans. So, how do I (a non-root user) get x/sane to see the new USB device when it only appears to visible to the root user? What am I missing? Thanks. Mark

Bugzilla 3.6.2 + sendmail + SELinux
by Mathieu Baudier 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hello, I have deployed Bugzilla 3.6.2 on CentOS 5 (with rpmforge perl-* packages) and I have a problem with SELinux preventing mail being sent via sendmail. (see SELinux reports below, especially the second one) When SELinux is in permissive mode, mail sending from Bugzilla is working properly. Has anybody got recent Bugzilla to work with SELinux on CentOS? Thanks in advance! Mathieu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: SELinux is preventing the sendmail from using potentially mislabeled files ./spool (var_spool_t). Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the sendmail access to potentially mislabeled files ./spool. This means that SELinux will not allow httpd to use these files. Many third party apps install html files in directories that SELinux policy cannot predict. These directories have to be labeled with a file context which httpd can access. Allowing Access: If you want to change the file context of ./spool so that the httpd daemon can access it, you need to execute it using chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t './spool'. You can look at the httpd_selinux man page for additional information. Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:httpd_bugzilla_script_t Target Context system_u:object_r:var_spool_t Target Objects ./spool [ dir ] Source sendmail Source Path /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail Port <Unknown> Host <Unknown> Source RPM Packages sendmail-8.13.8-8.el5 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-279.el5_5.1 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name httpd_bad_labels Host Name www Platform Linux www 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 #1 SMP Tue Sep 21 05:04:09 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Mon Sep 27 02:07:43 2010 Last Seen Mon Sep 27 02:07:43 2010 Local ID 24372577-2d4c-4bbe-be6b-ea9100b7c3ed Line Numbers 11701, 11702 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1285546063.60:15): avc: denied { search } for pid=3420 comm="sendmail" name="spool" dev=dm-2 ino=158722 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_bugzilla_script_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1285546063.60:15): arch=c000003e syscall=80 success=no exit=-13 a0=7fffeddf6060 a1=17 a2=fff a3=0 items=0 ppid=3418 pid=3420 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=51 sgid=51 fsgid=51 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sendmail" exe="/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail" subj=system_u:system_r:httpd_bugzilla_script_t:s0 key=(null) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: SELinux is preventing sendmail (httpd_bugzilla_script_t) "create" to <Unknown> (httpd_bugzilla_script_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that this access is required by sendmail and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Raid 10 questions...2 drive
by Tom Bishop 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

I have been reading lots of stuff but trying to find out if a raid10 2drive setup is any better/worse than a normal raid 1 setup....I have to 1Tb drives for my data and a seperate system drive, I am only interested in doing raid on my data... So i setup my initial test like this.... mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --chunk 1024 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 I have also read about near and far but was going to play with this and was wondering if anyone had any insights for 2 drives setup...Thanks...

couple questions about initrd.img
by Robert P. J. Day 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

here's hoping this is on topic. as part of the extra goodies i'm going to give my RHEL/centos basic admin class this week, i'm going to get them to open up the standard initrd.img file and see what's inside. i just did that myself and have a couple simple questions. first, while the cpio archive physically contains a number of basic /dev special files, the top-level "init" script runs "mknod" to create them all, anyway. not a big deal, but is it fair to say that populating the initrd.img with those initial /dev files is redundant since init creates them all, anyway? also, i note that that "init" script appears to call a couple scripts/commands that don't exist in the initrd, such as hotplug and mkblkdevs. again, not a big deal but if i show the students what's in that initrd, chances are someone's going to notice the above and ask about it, so i might as well have an answer. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Configuring BIND to answer to two domain names (four IP addresses)
by Dotan Cohen 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

On a CentOS 5 server, I am having a hard time configuring BIND to answer to 4 IP addresses for 2 domain names. Currently, I have four IP addresses, for sake of discussion they are: 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.2 1.1.1.3 1.1.1.4 Additionally, I have two domain names. For sake of discussion: exampleA.com exampleB.com My goal is to have 1.1.1.1 & 1.1.1.2 as the nameservers for exampleA.com, and 1.1.1.3 & 1.1.1.4 as the nameservers for exampleB.com. Apache is running on this machine, and should of course serve pages for the sites. I think that I've got the apache configuration down, but the BIND configuration is eluding me. I've read the following fine manual, but I am still stuck: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-bind.html Additionally, I have googled for "how to configure bind for multiple domain names" and the like, but I see no mention of the IP addresses configuration. Can I simply configure any IP address that the server answers to as the nameservers? What am I missing? Thank you in advance! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com
