Today's Topics: 1. Infra - CentOS Wiki instance migration (Fabian Arrotin) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:44:57 +0200 From: Fabian Arrotin <arrfab(a)centos.org> To: centos-announce(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] Infra - CentOS Wiki instance migration Message-ID: <54368349.8020106(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We have to do some hardware/software maintenance on the machine actually hosting the Wiki service (http://wiki.centos.org) Instead of just taking the wiki instance down during that maintenance, we've decided to relocate it to a temporary host, proceed to maintenance, and then migrate it back to the previous node. Migration is scheduled for Friday October 10th, 11:00 am UTC time. You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2014-10-10 11:00 UTC') Migration will happen in several steps: 1 - we "freeze" the wiki on the actual node, transfer data, update the A record, restore the service on the temporary node (disruption ~ 30min) 2 - we proceed to the needed maintenance on first node (no disruption in service, but no estimated time) 3 - depending on time needed for step [2], and assuming we have no hardware issue, we proceed like step [1], but in reverse (so disruption ~30 minutes again) Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, - -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlQ2g0kACgkQnVkHo1a+xU4flACfc1IjPeHelBntwt4eNTd6SBvM wXAAnAqtOg4Ko4nqd0QVUfX7ZcQevD5K =v15z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 116, Issue 6 ***********************************************

Testing packages for Xen, Xen Kernel, and centos-release-xen
by Johnny Hughes 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

For those of you who use xen4centos, but are not on the centos-virt mail list (shame on you if you do that :D) .. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2014-October/004132.html If you can test the auto update functionality of the kernel as outlined in that post and report the results (hopefully to the virt mail list :D), it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Fwd: CentOS list troubles

Forwarded on Mark's behalf... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <m.roth(a)5-cent.us> Date: Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 3:04 PM Subject: CentOS list troubles To: Les Mikesell <lesmikesell(a)gmail.com> Hi, Les, Somewhere between late afternoon yesterday, and this morning, something hit me: regardless of whether I post a new topic, or reply, I get *nothing*: not a post, nor a bounce. It seems to just be going to /dev/null. I've tried emailing list-owner, but I have no idea if it ever got there. Would you mind posting this? For the list-owner, please figure out what happened. Thanks in advance. mark

Renaming NIC name in CentOS 7
by Richer, Mark (CIV) 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

All, I am trying to understand better how you give an interface a more descriptive name and get it all working without a reboot, if possible. We have 1G and 10G interfaces, and I’m trying to use names like 1G-internal, 1G-external, 10G-private, etc. When I boot up, it’s all fine, but if I add one I’m not sure if there is a way to avoid the reboot? For example, I added the 10G interface names this week. Specifically, is there a way to change the network interface name you see in ifconfig and nmcli connection without rebooting CentOS 7? I changed the name in network-scripts. I tried to restart NetworkManager. I brought down the interface and tried to rename the file and bring it up again, but it still retains the previous run-time setting associated with the same UUID in the file. Also I find that on all but one of the server on which I did this, I can restart NetworkManager, but network.service is failing to restart. Do I want both active? And if yes, is this indicative of a problem related to changing the interfaces that goes away (only) by rebooting? For some reason, after doing this on several systems, on only one I can restart network.service, but it also still shows the old interface name. thanks, Mark MARK H RICHER, MS CS NPS-NCR Digital Forensics Lab IT Manager Computer Science Department Naval Postgraduate School - National Capital Region (NCR) 900 N Glebe Rd, Rm 5-182, Arlington, VA 22203 571.858.3254 (o) 571.303.9498 (m) mhricher(a)nps.edu<mailto:mhricher@nps.edu>

removing menus
by Jerry Geis 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

I am attempting to get no menus on the desktop... for CentOS 7. I did: rpm -e --nodeps gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu rpm -e --nodeps gnome-shell-extension-places-menu But now I get an "Activities" menu at the top... instead. Any idea how to remove that package... I cant find what it is called. I had to use --nodeps above as gnome-classic (I think) needs to be installed or nothing works. Thanks, Jerry

Bash still vulnerable
by Lars Hecking 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

According to the vulnerability test script from shellshocker.net, the latest bash versions on CentOS5 and CentOS6, 3.2-33.el5_11.4 and 4.1.2-15.el6_5.2, resp., are still vulnerable to CVE-2014-6277. In fact, on CentOS6, abrtd will send you a nice report about it. Does anyone know if upstream is working on a fix? [root@host ~]# bash ~/shellshock_test.sh CVE-2014-6271 (original shellshock): not vulnerable /root/shellshock_test.sh: line 16: 17229 Segmentation fault (core dumped) bash -c "f() { x() { _;}; x() { _;} <<a; }" 2> /dev/null CVE-2014-6277 (segfault): VULNERABLE CVE-2014-6278 (Florian's patch): not vulnerable CVE-2014-7169 (taviso bug): not vulnerable CVE-2014-7186 (redir_stack bug): not vulnerable CVE-2014-7187 (nested loops off by one): not vulnerable CVE-2014-//// (exploit 3 on http://shellshocker.net/) not vulnerable [root@host ~]#
