Module building and signing
by Chris Pemberton 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

In order to get "Beats Audio" (2.1 channel sound) working on my HP k025dx laptop running CentOS 6.5, I need to re-assign some of the pins on the Intel HDA soundcard - model 92HD91BXX. This is trivial in newer distros for two reasons: 1. the 'hda-jack-retask' application compiles and runs on newer distros 2. the snd-hda-intel modules on newer distros are compiled with CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG=y Even if I could get 'hda-jack-retask' to compile, I'd still need the module built with CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG=y. So I followed the 2 wiki articles to install full kernel sources and I re-compiled the module. When loading the new module, I get the following error: FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/extra/snd-hda-intel.ko): Invalid module format I run 'file' on the new and original modules and they seem identical: /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/extra/snd-hda-intel.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped My next attempt was to compile an entire kernel, and then copy the new module over to the original kernel. Inserting the module give the following: Module signed with unknown public key ksign: module signed with unknown public key - signature keyid: 3000b37e8a34083d ver=4 I googled for a fix and tried two methods of removing the module signing (neither worked): objcopy -R .note.module_sig snd-hda-intel.ko objcopy -R .module_sig snd-hda-intel.ko (I did get finally get the audio pins re-mapped, but I had to resort to using my newly-compiled kernel as well). Should kmod fix my issues? Thanks, Chris

Does anyone use tcp wrappers (hosts.allow/hosts.deny) anymore?
by Matthew Miller 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Does anyone use tcp wrappers (hosts.allow/hosts.deny) anymore? And, would you care strongly if it went away (or would you just migrate to something else)? I bring this up because we are discussing dropping it from Fedora. This would be far enough in the future that it wouldn't impact RHEL 7, and therefore won't affect anyone here for Quite Some Time*, but here in the new world order of CentOS, I thought it might be useful to check with some actual downstream users. What do you think? Do you rely on hosts.allow/hosts.deny a primary security mechanism? As defense-in-depth? Do you have policies which mandate it? Your feedback appreciated. Thanks! * and the standard caveats that Fedora doesn't necessarily determine the path for RHEL apply, of course. -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/>

nfs question
by Barbara Krasovec 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hello! We have central ldap for users, idmapd.conf configured on every machine and users' home folders on nfs, mounted by automount on several machines. After the last OS upgrade we notice that permissions on some files (not for all users) are corrupted: For example: -rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 45 Nov 11 21:20 hostlist drwx------ 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Jun 27 2012 .ssh -rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 0 Aug 28 2013 test -rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 53 Jan 6 12:44 test.sh instead of: -rw-r--r-- 1 ops001 ops 45 Nov 11 21:20 hostlist drwx------ 2 ops001 ops 4096 Jun 27 2012 .ssh -rw-r--r-- 1 ops001 ops 0 Aug 28 2013 test -rw-r--r-- 1 ops001 ops 53 Jan 6 12:44 test.sh Kernel used: 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 Nfs version: nfs-utils-1.2.3-39.el6.x86_64 User/group mapping works fine. Same behaviour appears when I mount the home folder manually. Any ideas? Thanks, Barbara

CentOS 5.10: Upgrading from IUS's php52 to CentOS's php53 questions
by Robert Heller 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

I would like to update one of the websites on my server from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 3.2, but it wants PHP 5.3. I am currently using IUS's php52 5.2.17, which is fine for the Joomla 1.5 and the various WordPress sites (up to 3.9) currently served on this server. I plan to test the update procedure on my home (test) system (a pretty much identically setup system) before possible breaking my public/production server, but wanted to get the 'wisdom' of the centos user-list: are there any gotchas I need to watch for. I presently have installed: php52-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-devel-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-odbc-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-gd-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-common-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-mysql-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-ncurses-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-ldap-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-dba-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-mbstring-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-snmp-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-xmlrpc-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-pdo-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-cli-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-pear-1.9.4-1.ius.el5 php52-xml-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 php52-imap-5.2.17-6.ius.el5 -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

Normalizing WAV files
by Mark LaPierre 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hey all, I've been googling trying to find a tool that I can use to normalize a directory full of WAV files. I found a reference to normalize in the atrpms repo but it wants to clobber several of the base rpms. Does anyone know of a tool in CentOS 6 that can normalize a directory full of WAV files that I can install without hosing up my system? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

backuppc problem
by Derrik Walker v2.0 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

I've installed backuppc from the EPEL repository. It does backups just fine, BUT, when the backups are done, the status on the web page says there are no backups for any of my systems I'm backing up. To be sure, they are taking up disk space, but it's just not reporting it correctly to the admin web interface. I'm thinking I'm missing some package I need, but am not sure exactly what. Any ideas? Thanks. - Derrik

Re: [CentOS] Motion Detecting Camera
by tdukes＠palmettoshopper.com 21 Apr '14

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CentOS] Motion Detecting Camera From: Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein(a)yahoo.com> Date: Sat, February 01, 2014 7:27 am To: "centos(a)centos.org" <centos(a)centos.org> mark wrote With the continuing annoyance from motion, my manager's asked me to go looking again for a video surveillance appliance: basically, a motion-detecting DVR and cameras. The big thing, of course, is a) price (this is a US federal gov't agency, and being civilian, money is *tight*, don't give me the libertarian/GOP line about how freely we spend, thankyouverymuch), b) it has to be on the network, and c) we need to be able to d/l to a server, and rm after we do that... and we want to script or cron job that. I was in Costco (USA warehouse store) and saw a Philips LED display, Camera, Recorder, that was motorized. The camera followed the movement across the front of it, and could snapshot to a memory chip. It was under $80.00 for the ensemble. The floor model worked well. If you do not require realtime recording to a hard disk, then this item may be a reasonable cost solution.

Kernel panic when booting into FIPS mode
by Dale Harris 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Sorry if you see this twice, I may have goofed: Hey, So I was playing around with trying to get a CentOS 6.5 system FIPS-140 complaint. However, my system panics because it cannot find the hmac file associated with my kernel. It's basically as what is going on is described in this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805538 The /sbin/fips.sh script in the initramfs there is a bit of code: if ! [ -e "/boot/.vmlinuz-${KERNEL}.hmac" ]; then warn "/boot/.vmlinuz-${KERNEL}.hmac does not exist" return 1 fi But that file does exist on the system. I guess the initramfs may not see the /boot directory on the system? Or is it trying to look for /boot inside the initramfs? If so that would explain my problem. I haven't verified any of this yet. But seems like /boot ought to be mounted for the system... anyone know of a fix for this? -- Dale Harris rodmur(a)maybe.org rodmur(a)gmail.com /.-)
