And now for something completely different. Win7 on KVM
by James B. Byrne 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

As you can probably guess by now I am working my way down through my outstanding issue list trying to get as many deferred items closed out as I can before the next security storm hits. We have a Win7pro KVM guest that has been giving us networking issues since it was created. The last problem was that it was picking up its network address from the virtio DHCP service, with predicable results. This turned out to be an issue with how the virtual nic was configured (it was using NAT instead of the br0 bridge. We have adjusted the settings on the guest so the the nic is configured as a shared device / br0 / Device Model=virtio. Now after it boots the thing says that it does not have a driver for Ethernet adaptor at all. Is there a different setting for the model that I should be using? I have to point out that this thing was originally installed from cd-rom and then updated from the internet. So at some point it must have had a working network connection. Any ideas as to how to get it to find the network interface again? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

lynx only shows : FRAME: wlmframe
by Johan Vermeulen 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hello, when I log in through ssh to a remote site and open the web interface from a ( new ) printer using Lynx, it only displays : FRAME: wlmframe I suspect this is some unfriendly coding, that will cost me time in opening Firefox instead of Lynx or w3m. Does anybody know of a way around this? Greetings, Johan -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen(a)cawdekempen.be 0479.82.01.41 Powered by Linux.

pidgin-sipe on Centos-6/64
by Fred Smith 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hi! Wondering if anyone here has been able to get the (3-rd party) SIPE plugin (pidgin-sipe) working on Centos-6 with the C6 version of pidgin? I've just started looking at it and after a little messing around have no joy. Before I waste more time on it I thought I'd ask. what I've done so far: --download the latest binary from the Suse build service, allegedly one built for EL-5. installs (along with libpurple-sipe) without errors, but when I attempt to create a new account for SIPE there is no listing of it in the list of protocols in the "add user" dialog. --figuring I had the wrong version (since the pidgin in C6 is now rather old) I downloaded the source and built it, again with no errors. but having installed it, I get the same symptom. I'd appreciate any helpful hints. thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ------------------------------- Romans 5:8 (niv) ------------------------------

Loss of Ethernet adaptor

This is a return to an issue I first raised back in June. We had a similar occurrence in September while I was away and so I am revisiting the entire matter.

Gnome 3 on centos 7
by Jerry Geis 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi all - almost have my migration to Centos 7 done... My last piece is finding a way to keep menus away from users on Gnome 3. gsettings took me pretty far, to remap gconf-tool to gsettings. I also removed two packages gnome-shell-extension-places-menu gnome-shell-extension-app-menu This removed the Places and Apps menu options in the top panel. However - when doing this now I see the menu choice for "Activities". I am wondering if anyone knows how to remove that or make it non-functional... You can click on it and run a "terminal" which I do not desire. Thanks, jerry

Re: [CentOS] Q. LUKS or ecryptfs-utils ?

On Wed, October 22, 2014 18:52, Nux! wrote: > Do you also run the hypervisor? Because if you are not, then the > host can dump your guest's memory and retrieve the luks passphrase > from there AFAIK. Who are you hiding from? The issue is backstopping a physical security breach. We run the hypervisor host and have physical control over access to the hardware. Should the storage device be removed from our premises by unauthorised means then we wish assurance that the data thereon is not readily accessible to anyone. We are also cognisant that it is conceivable that a external threat might find some way to scan/copy the data without actually removing the device physically. I am under the impression that encryption 'should' work to prevent 'drive-by' surveillance in that case as well, but I am not entirely convinced that is true. I am starting with the mail spool because that is a fairly straight-forward case. Our mail spool is mounted at /var/spool/imap and is an LVM volume. We have sufficient surplus space to easily create an equivalently sized or even larger LVM as an encrypted whatever. I am not sure of the correct terminology in this case; device/partition/something else? My thinking is that we set up an encrypted LV, take the imapd service down, copy the imap spool files and directory structure to the encrypted volume. Dismount both, remount the encrypted volume in place of the original and restart the imapd service. Is this a sound approach? We may want to have the imapd service started manually after the encrypted volume is made accessible. If so then both actions probably belong in an admin script (to be written). -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
