Folks, Should semanage be part of the policycoreutils package? At least in 6.x, it's not. mark

C6 gateway/firewall problem
by Laurent Wandrebeck 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi, I'm using system-config-firewall (C6 x86_64, fully up to date) to configure a gateway/firewall box. 2 nics, eth0 (configured as bridge0, mtu 7200) connected to the lan, eth1 being connected directly to the internet (public ip, mtu 1500). ssh port is open and accessible. nat is working fine. I've put bridge0 as a trusted interface, eth1 is masqueraded. I've put ports 20,21,80 as forwarded ports on eth1 to lan machines. Thing is nmap (and classical ways to access these protocols) say it's closed. I've tried to make 20,21,80 open and forwarded, to no avail. Could someone give me a hand ? Thanks, Laurent.

multilib error on centos 6.2 x86_64
by 李耀宗 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

I just tried to update to CentOS 6.2, but I am faced with "Errors: Protected multilib versions" error, the offending packages are: jasper-libs.i686 krb5-libs.i686 nss.i686 After some investigation, it turns out that there are newer packages in "x86_64 updates" repository, but only for x86_64 version, while in "x86_64 main" repository there are older i686 version packages, causing version conflict. To solve these problem, I have to manually install the newer i686 packages in "i686 updates" repository. Is there anything wrong in the build system that lacked those i686 packages in"x86_64 updates" repository?

sendmail and sudo
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

This is annoying. I ssh to a server, then, it doesn't matter if I su - or sudo -s, I start a service (motion, if it matters), and when the service sends an email, it's from me, not from root, or the user the service runs as. I've dumped my environment, I've just dumped service's environment. I've set SUDO_USER to root, and SUDO_UID to 0, and restarted the service, and still no joy. My manager found this trick: echo "To: user help " | sendmail -t and the same thing happens. Anyone else run into this? No relevant google hits so far. mark

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/chcon "mac_admin" access
by James B. Byrne 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

CentOS-6.1 KVM guest on CentOS-6.1 host. I am seeing this SEAlert in the /var/log/audit/audit.log file a new guest immediately after startup. Can someone tell me what it means and what I should do about it? A Google search reveals a number of Fedora issues with similar errors dating back a few years; most of which seem to have something to do with package ownership. This guest starts without activating any Ethernet i/f if that has any bearing on the matter. # sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log | more found 1 alerts in /var/log/audit/audit.log -------------------------------------------------------- Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/chcon "mac_admin" access . Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by chcon. It is not expected that this access is required by chcon 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Disable autoneg on r8169?
by Scott Johnson 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Two problems I hope to solve: 1. The switch being used has autoneg off and has port set to 100 full duplex. 2. Many times NIC fails to come up properly during PXE boot: r8169: eth0: link down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready I can't use ethtool to disable autoneg because the nic driver is built into a bzImage. The root fs is currently being mounted via nfs during pxeboot at speed 10, half-duplex. In the past for sk98lin driver I could pass a kernel module parameter sk98lin.ConType=100FD on the kernel boot line. I looked at the r8169.c and tried to hard code the default to autoneg off but that didn't work. --- linux-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5.i686/drivers/net/r8169.c +++ disable-autoneg/drivers/net/r8169.c @@ -2814,7 +2814,8 @@ * rtl8169_set_speed_xmii takes good care of the Fast Ethernet * only 8101.

yum update fails on perl dependancy
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

I finally started yum upgrade for CentOS 6.0+CR x86_64. yum reports that I have already installed perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1, but perl-CGI requests for perl-5.10.1-119.el6 from ISO/base repo. Can someone advise on the best course of action? Logical would be to downgrade perl to the one from ISO file. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
