QT menu decorations missing on Centos 6
by Frank Cox 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

See this screenshot for an example of what I get when I run qtconfig-qt4 on Centos 6 and select a menu: http://www.melvilletheatre.com/screenshot-qt-example.png If the list is long, the menu extends from the top to the bottom of my physical screen, with a little arrow at the top and the bottom which, if I sit the mouse pointer on the arrow, makes the list scroll up and down. As you can see, the decorations (scroll bar, etc) are missing. I don't think it's a configuration issue, but rather an issue of a missing library, or missing functionality in a library. The program appears to be trying to use a qt function that doesn't exist on this computer so it's doing some kind of a fallback to a bare-bones menu list. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

bind + chroot + webmin
by aurfalien 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hi all, I just read about some kind of bug regarding webmin not being able to work with bind if chroot is enabled. Webmin was working fine for me until I chose to update it, and then the bug showed (running Centos 6.2 BTW). So the fix was to disable chroot in the webmin bind module config, seems counter intuitive. Any one mind sharing some nuggets on this? I'm working with bind via cli no issue but this new crop of sys admins have probs with that and want pictures, ie gui so my guys are a little troubled. - aurf

NIS expiration of passwords
by Fabien Archambault 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Dear all, I have a NIS server which shares a database of users between some computers (nodes exactly) and I would like that, on the first login, the user changes its password. So, on the NIS server I have made: chage -d 0 USER Then: # cd /var/yp # make On the NIS server I have: chage -l USER Last password change : password must be changed Password expires : password must be changed Password inactive : password must be changed Account expires : never Minimum number of days between password change : 0 Maximum number of days between password change : 99999 Number of days of warning before password expires : 7 I would believe this information is shared from the server to the other computers but here users still can connect (via SSH). If I try to get the information on the user connected I have: # chage -l USER user 'USER' does not exist in /etc/passwd This looks normal as there is no user there but then I do not know how to enable the expiration information through NIS. Do someone has an idea? Thanks, Fabien

Is conntrack and conntrackd still valid for Centos 6.2? I can't seem to find much on it any more. Is there something else to use? thanks steve campbell

bind: root hints named.ca and named.root
by Michael McNulty 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

For 6.x I have both of these files in my /var/named directory, probably copied when upgraded. named.ca date inside the file is dated 2008 and named.root is from a few months ago. Am I correct in assuming that named.ca is old and that I should be using named.root in my named.conf files? Is it SOP to use the latest from ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root thx -- Mike

Strange alterations to vim and related packages on KVM host
by James B. Byrne 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

OS CentOS-6.2 with updates to present. I use git on this host to manage configuration changes and to monitor package alterations. This is not meant to be a security check. It is simply a way for me to easily recover from fumble fingered configuration changes. Yesterday git status reported that the following files had changed since the previous commit: # modified: ../usr/bin/gdb # modified: ../usr/bin/gvim # modified: ../usr/bin/vim I therefore reinstalled these three packages using yum reinstall and committed the change to git. commit b87a8b2116ef22cc013fd5dc6f525d672d52570a Author: sysadmin.root.vhost01.hamilton <sysadmin.root.vhost01.hamilton@harte-lyn Date: Tue Jul 3 16:22:34 2012 -0400 Reinstalled gdb, vim and vim-X11 due to unexpected changes in executable files. This morning git reports the same three files have again changed. # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: ../etc/virsh.run # modified: .Xauthority # modified: .bash_history # modified: ../selinux/policy # modified: ../usr/bin/gdb # modified: ../usr/bin/gvim # modified: ../usr/bin/vim # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # ../.readahead_collect When I check the differences git simply reports that the binary files are difference but, after I reinstalled them all yesterday I noted that the file modification times of the replaced files and their respective reinstalled files were the same but their file sizes were not. Given what I have committed to the git repository I am satisfied that these are the only system files that have changed. None of the files in /var/log show any entries relating to these files immediately prior to the reinstall yesterday. What entries do exist go back to when the software was first installed and none are more recent than several months ago. The git commit on this host previous to yesterday was the Kernel update on June 19. At that time the subject files were the same as when they were originally installed. This host does not accept any direct IP connections from IP addresses outside our internal server subnet (a.b.c.0/192). Access is blocked via IPTables at the gateway and again on the host itself. Some VM guests do allow public or otherwise less restricted access but the VM host itself does not. I am of course deeply suspicious of these circumstances but I cannot see how this could be the result of some outside agency. Therefore, I am at a loss to explain these changes. What I need to discover is what agency changed these files and why. In the meantime I have removed the gdb, vim-enhanced and vim-X11 packages from that host. Has anyone else run across this sort of behaviour? Has anyone any idea as to what is going on here? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

I infer that the linked sizes likely changed as a result of system library updates associated with the recent kernel update.

It is only the files in /usr/bin that concern me. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
