More on amavis/clam permission errors on Centos 6.3
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

I should probably find either the amavis or clam list(s) and take this there? Anyway, I have totally rebuilt my machine with clean installs. I have spent time carefully (I hope!) studying the amavis and clamav conf files before starting them and running the tests. Here is what I am getting: Jan 30 14:14:10 test1 postfix/pickup[6682]: DA8082A099B: uid=0 from=<root> Jan 30 14:14:10 test1 postfix/cleanup[6773]: DA8082A099B: message-id=<20130130191410.DA8082A099B(a)test1.test.htt-consult.com> Jan 30 14:14:10 test1 postfix/qmgr[6683]: DA8082A099B: from=<root(a)test1.test.htt-consult.com>, size=446, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 30 14:14:11 test1 amavis[6756]: (06756-01) LMTP::10024 /var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20130130T141411-06756: <root(a)test1.test.htt-consult.com> -> <faxit(a)test.htt-consult.com> SIZE=446 Received: from test1.test.htt-consult.com ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (test1.test.htt-consult.com [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with LMTP for <faxit(a)test.htt-consult.com>; Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:14:11 -0500 (EST) Jan 30 14:14:11 test1 amavis[6756]: (06756-01) Checking: 95-+1-aqz4Cb <root(a)test1.test.htt-consult.com> -> <faxit(a)test.htt-consult.com> Jan 30 14:14:11 test1 amavis[6756]: (06756-01) (!)run_av (ClamAV-clamd) FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20130130T141411-06756/parts: lstat() failed: Permission denied.

Anything Like Solaris' Live Upgrade?
by Tim Evans 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Does anyone know of any sort of Linux utility that does something like what Solaris' Live Upgrade (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-7933/index.html) does? In my past life as a Solaris sys-admin, I found this an extremely useful tool for upgrading and patching running systems, as well as for maintaining redundant boot environments on separate system disks for disaster situations. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court Linux/UNIX Consulting | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ | tkevans(a)tkevans.com

Re: [CentOS] 2way authentication for SSH?
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl 31 Jan '13

-----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Rudi Ahlers Sent: Monday, January 28, 2013 8:52 AM To: CentOS Subject: [CentOS] 2way authentication for SSH? Hi, Does anyone know of a stable / working "2way authentication" system for SSH, and even web authentication services? Most of the banks in South Africa have a system that, when you want to make a payment, they send you an SMS and you need to verify the action with a secret code which was SMS'd to you. gmail also has this. Does anyone know of a "universal" plugin / application that can be used with SSH and even websites like Wordpress / Joolma / Webmin / etc? Any pointer would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- Is it really 2way (as in mutual) authentication or 2factor authentication? Mutual authentication is normally done with ssl (server + client) certificates. Most http engines (apache, tomcat) do support them. For two factor (have, know) authentication "some assembly" is required, at least for openssh. See: http://roumenpetrov.info/openssh/ Generally speaking, you _do_ want a trusted third party (like a CA) and certainly _not_ another additional unreliable man-in-the-middle. I mean: like google. But should I trust them with regards to security and availability???

Installing RHEL On Laptop.....
by Eddie G. O'Connor Jr. 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Not sure if this is the right place to come to, but I don't have "RHN" support.....I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have downloaded the RHEL .ios file and burned it to DVD/CD, my laptop is primed to Boot From CD/ROM Drive, I start the installation using the semi-graphical interface, and the first few options are a breeze, then it gets to identifying the CD drive and it asks me which driver I want to use....there's only a list of about 10 and NONE of them work, when I select it, it searches for a minute, then it goes back to the "Install Your CD Drive" screen. Is there some way to skip this part? or to have the install disc automatically find this info? Did I download the wrong version of RHEL? (supposedly it's free...but I do not know this for sure....maybe there's a "different" version than the one with the paid subscription and support?) Any help someone can give would be appreciated....I've included the output of my lshw in the hopes that someone can point me to the file that I need to get past this point? Cheers!

Mail notification in panel/system tray on CentOS 6
by Toralf Lund 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to add a "new mail" notification icon to the panel/system tray under CentOS 6? On CentOS 5, I used the "mail-notification" software package provided by the Fedora "EPEL" distribution, but this is gone from the version 6 repository, and the one from version 5 won't install just like that due to dependency issues. Maybe it's possible to resolve those, but I'm wondering if that's the way to go, or if there is a better alternative these days. - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

by Toralf Lund 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hello again, Does anyone have any idea what the following message in the package installer - gpk-install-local-file - is supposed to mean? Can't install /tmp/mail-notification-4.0-3.el5.x86_64.rpm as no transaction (Under "More details" in the "Local install failed" popup.) This is something I got while trying to set up a "mail notification" icon - refer to my other recent post. I happen to know what (part of) the problem is - the package has dependencies that can't be resolved, but why doesn't the message just say so? And what's the meaning of a "transaction" anyway? Mind you, I believe I understand the word perfectly well, but in the above sentence it still makes no sense to me... To reproduce this, you may try (on a CentOS 6) system: 1. In a web browser, go to http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/repoview/mail-notification.ht… or http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/mail-notification.html depending on your architecture. 2. Click on the rpm link. 3. Select "Open with"->"Package Installer (default)". 4. Answer "Install" when asked if you want to install the file (after it's downloaded.) 5. Click "More details" when the error popup appears. I suspect, though, that you may actually see a sensible "dependency" message, i.e. that this is sometimes correctly displayed, sometimes not. - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Question about /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

I don't know if this file comes from clam or amavis-new, but.... It contains the comment and command: # Run as a selected user (clamd must be started by root) User amavis Is this conf file for clam or amavis? As in /etc/clamd.conf we have: # Run as another user (clamd must be started by root for this option to work) # Default: don't drop privileges User clam # Initialize supplementary group access (clamd must be started by root). # Default: no AllowSupplementaryGroups yes Then in /etc/amavisd.conf (the real? conf file for amavis-new) in the Clamav section are comments: # # Note: run clamd under the same user as amavisd, or run it under its own # # uid such as clamav, add user clamav to the amavis group, and then add # # AllowSupplementaryGroups to clamd.conf; So is clam running under its user or amavis? Why is this last comment pointing to the 'old' clamav userid?

Alias for sending email messages from root
by James B. Byrne 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

I have run into what can only be described as a farce but one that is outside my control and which I need fixed. I am informed that my cell phone service provider, Bell Canada, will not allow any email messages from a user id 'root' to pass through their email to sms text gateway. Now, I send alerts out from cron and other system monitoring software and these all go out as root(a)host.domain.tld. Is there any way to configure the outgoing address to be something else? Or do I have to rename the root user to get around this nonsensical, and utterly useless, restriction imposed by my provider? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

yum killed, ipa\* and xorg\* a mess
by Zube 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

yum update was killed at an inopportune time, leaving ipa\* and xorg\* in an inconsistent state. yum-complete-transaction looks like it it's going to erase the entire system and then fails. >From the transaction files, the following are in: install 0:ipa-python-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:ipa-client-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 install 0:xorg-x11-server-common-1.10.6-1.0.1.el6.centos.x86_64 install 0:ipa-admintools-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 rpm -q ipa-server returns: ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 rpm -q ipa-server-selinux returns: ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 Thinking I could remove the old and then drop in the new, I tried: rpm -e ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 but that fails with: ipa-server-selinux = 2.2.0-17.el6_3.1 is needed by (installed) ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64 Normally I'd not be hesitant about trying different options, perhaps with --nodeps, and then reinstalling if my inexperience proved to be fatal, but this machine is not unimportant, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for your time. Cheers, Zube
