Samba problem
by Joseph Hesse 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hello, My only hard drive failed on a private server so I had to replace it and reinstall Centos 6.5 and Samba. My smb.conf file is OK according to "testparm". I configured smb and nmb, with chkconfig, to start when the system boots. After the system boots if I do "service nmb status" I get the response "nmbd dead but pid file exists". I can delete the pid file manually and start nmb with "service nmb start". The problem is that when the system shuts down and restarts I still find that "nmbd dead but pid file exists". Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be much appreciated. Thank you, Joe

SSSD Passwd change problem
by Eric Falbe 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi, I have sssd set up and it mostly works how I would expect, but the ldap_chpass_uri does not seem to work correctly with the passwd command. I have two configs, one working and one not: Working: ldap_uri = ldap://ldap.example.com ldap_chpass_uri = ldap://ldap.example.com Non Working: ldap_uri = ldap://ldap3.example.com,ldap://ldap2.example.com,ldap:// ldap.example.com ldap_chpass_uri = ldap://ldap.example.com ldap.example.com is the master ldap server, and the other two are read-only consumers. I have the clients set up with sssd to use their local ldap replication, except for changing their password. With the non working config the only thing I have changed is the ldap_uri. The behavior seems like it is not using the ldap_chpass_uri directive. I can post more of the config files if needed. When I use the passwd command to update a password, the first config snippet works as expected, whereas the second does not. Any ideas? Thanks, Eric Falbe

Xnest and gnome
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 12 May '14

12 May '14

I still don't like gnome.... Got a user who wants the "whole gnome experience" (i.e., he can't deal w/ the command line), so I'm testing this: I'm running 6.5, KDE. On the server, I've installed both Xnest, "Gnome Desktop Environment", and "X Window System". Xnest works fine, I can start xclock, or an xterm, but if I try DISPLAY=:1, I see the taskbar and top bar start to appear on the Xnest window, and then it crashes. Most recently, I've been using Xnest -query hostname :1 to start.... I *suspect* it has something to do with .Xauthority or something in my home directory, NFS mounted, of course, on both my workstation and the server, but.... Any clues or suggestions? The messages when it crashes start with: Error: (9) Connection ":1.246" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1". Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1". Xlib: extension "DPMS" missing on display ":1".

OpenDKIM and SELinux
by James B. Byrne 12 May '14

12 May '14

Following the most recent kernel updates I restarted our outgoing SMTP MTA which was recently reconfigured to DKIM sign messages using OpenDKIM. This morning I discovered that Postfix had stopped on that server. Whether it is related to the Postfix issue or not is yet to be determined but, in the process of getting things restarted I ran across this error with Open DKIM: # service opendkim restart Stopping OpenDKIM Milter: [FAILED] Starting OpenDKIM Milter: opendkim: /etc/opendkim.conf: refile:/etc/opendkim/TrustedHosts: dkimf_db_open(): Permission denied [FAILED] I check the permissions and ownership on the file and everything seems normal. I then checked audit2why and got this: audit2allow: error: no such option: -- [root@inet08 opendkim]# audit2why -l -a type=AVC msg=audit(1399898848.286:2317): avc: denied { dac_read_search } for pid=15213 comm="opendkim" capability=2 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dkim_milter_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dkim_milter_t:s0 tclass=capability Was caused by: Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.

You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access. We have been using dkim for a little while now and our dmarc records indicate that messages from our domains should be signed so this problem needed an immediate fix or workaround. What I ended up with was this .te file that generates an SEModule which at least gets the service running. What else it opens us up to I am not sure so I would appreciate some commentary on how I should proceed to obtain a permanent fix: module localOpenDKIMmod 1.0; require { type dkim_milter_t; class capability { dac_read_search dac_override }; } #============= dkim_milter_t ============== allow dkim_milter_t self:capability { dac_read_search dac_override }; -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

EFI and RAID questions
by CS_DBA 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi All; I have a new server we're setting up that supports EFI or Legacy in the bios I am a solid database guy but my SA skills are limited to what I need to get by 1) I used EFI because I wanted to create a raid 10 array with 6 4TB drives and apparently I cannot setup gpt partitions via parted in legacy mode (at least that's what I've read - is this true?) 2) I installed the OS on 2 500GB drives, I used to do all my installs with software RAID (mirrored) without LVM as follows: - create 2 raid partitions (one on each drive) for swap, /boot and / - create a raid1 device for each set of partitions above The installer would not let me proceed without a /boot/efi partition I tried to create a raid partition on each drive for this and create a /boot/efi raid disk but when I doit this way in the installer I no longer see the "EFI SYSTEM Partition" as an option for the filesystem type so this did not work either. I ended up doing hardware raid for the OS drives and software raid for the 6 4TB data drives. It works but I prefer to do software raid for everything so we ca have standard methods of monitoring for bad drives. Is there a way to setup software raid with EFI? Do I need to add a /boot/efi partition only to one of the 2 OS drives? If so how do I recover if we loose the drive with the /boot/efi partition? Is it required to use LVM to do this? Thanks in advance

CentOS 6.5 fresh install, public ssh keys cannot authenticate
by Dan Bikle 10 May '14

10 May '14

Dear List, I cannot get public ssh keys to work in a fresh install of centos6.5 This might be a centos bug. I've googled for a solution. Mostly I found threads suggesting I debug sshd or run ssh -v for clues. Also I've seen threads suggesting I look at file and directory permissions. I dont think I should need to debug sshd after a fresh install. Also I think a fresh install should correctly set file and directory permissions. I think ssh should just simply work or I should see some simple documentation to make it work. Steps to reproduce this bug: Get the latest copy of virtualbox software. Get a centos6.5 dvd. Press the new button in virtualbox In the settings of the new install ask virtual box to setup a bridged adapter. Walk through the virtualbox wizard UI. When it asks for distribution point it at centos6.5 iso When the iso boots inside of virtualbox, choose to install desktop which is the first choice of choices. Eventually it will ask for a username, give the name of 'dan' and password paloalto9. When presented a login screen, login as dan. Start a terminal. try ssh: ssh dan@localhost That should prompt you for password and log you in. Also it should create ~dan/.ssh/ cd ~dan/.ssh/ do this: ssh-keygen That should create 2 files: ~dan/.ssh/id_rsa ~dan/.ssh/id_rsa.pub do this: cat ~dan/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > ~dan/.ssh/authorized_keys try: ssh dan@localhost It should log me in. Instead it prompts for password. I've walked through this type of scenario many times over the past few years and it has always worked. Currently it works well on ubuntu 12.04. I think something in centos6 might be broken? Perhaps there is a documented step somewhere which has been added to fresh centos installs which I missed? Dan

Kickstarts failing 30% of time on Dell 620 blades
by Dan Hyatt 09 May '14

09 May '14

I have a large set of Dell 620 blades fully populated with memory and duel socket CPUs, Centos6.4 image. I have a kickstart that I am using to pxe boot 36 blades. I have two internal drives which are raid1 (two disks formed into one, no redundancy), not san attached In the first set, 9 successfully completed. 7 more built correctly after trying another pxe boot. 2 just wont pxeboot In the second set I had 11 fail and 5 succeed and the two I tried again failed. When they fail, they go to GRUB. I try booting from disk from the drac and still get grub It looks like the complete centos kickstart occurs as it goes through the whole install before rebooting and failing. Any idea why this would happen with identical hardware, identical kickstart/image, inside the same blade chassis. Any idea what to test. -- Dan Hyatt Division of Statistical Genomics Washington University School of Medicine 4444 Forest Park Blvd, Campus Box 8506 St. Louis, MO 63108 314 747 4767 (o) 314 473 8713 (c) dhyatt(a)dsgmail.wustl.edu

Processes launched from rc*.d and ulimit -n
by Mitch Patenaude 09 May '14

09 May '14

I'm running fedora directory server on some boxes in a multi-master arrangement. The problem is that when dirsrv is lauched from init (on boot) the maximum number of allowed file descriptors (ulimit -n) is only 4096. That means that the slapd process can only accept ~4k connections, and it needs to accept ~10k or so. The value for nofile for all users in /etc/security/limits.conf (and limits.d/*) is 65536, and as soon as I restart the process (service dirsrv restart) it comes up with ulimit -n being 64K, the way it's supposed to. Why isn't it doing this at boot? Right after boot: ldap07:~ mpatenaude$ ldapsearch -x -h localhost -LLL -D 'cn=directory manager' -W -b 'cn=config' -s base nsslapd-maxdescriptors Enter LDAP Password: dn: cn=config nsslapd-maxdescriptors: 4096 ldap07:~ mpatenaude$ sudo service dirsrv restart [sudo] password for mpatenaude: Shutting down dirsrv: ldap07...

plug in phones, speaker does not mute.
by Fred Smith 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hi all! Using C6 on an Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard with AMD six core FX6300. That board uses Realtek ALC892 audio chipset. For the first time since I got that motherboard I tried plugging in headphones to the front panel speaker output. I was somewhat displeased to note that the speakers don't mute when that happens. I recall seeing info on that in Fedora, but not Centos, and haven't so far scared up how to troubleshoot it. I can MANUALLY change the setting in sound preferences, which offers only two choices: "Analog Output" and "Analog Headphones". Suggestions will be welcomed!

0006698: CentOS is missing libnetfilter queue related packages
by Robert Moskowitz 09 May '14

09 May '14

I am working with HIP for Linux: http://infrahip.hiit.fi/ We are looking to some major server support on currently Centos 6 cloud images. Problem is for other distros, hipl has moved on to libnetfilter_queue which is not supported in Centos 6. See: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6698 How can we get this as part of the standard install and maintained libs? thank you.

License question: centos-indexhtml
by Jose Luna 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi, and sorry to bug you all for something so simple: The project in which I am working would like to use CentOS, but it has very strict requirements regarding licensing. The item that I have had trouble with is centos-indexhtml-6-1.el6.centos.src.rpm. Within it, the License is only identified as 'distributable', which is not precise enough. Is there any way of contacting the author of said package, or does anyone have any clues as to what does distributable mean exactly? (preferably with references somewhere in the CentOS distribution) -Joe

su command
by Jerry Geis 08 May '14

08 May '14

I am running pulseaudio on centOS 6.5 audio works fine as the user. running the command aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav works fine. when I login as root and run the command su user -c "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" it does not work. I thought su actually runs as that user... is there some "magic" to su I don't know about? How might I get that to work ? Thanks, jerry

RHEL7 beta discussions?
by Les Mikesell 08 May '14

08 May '14

Where would be an appropriate place to get help with the quirks of RHEL7 beta, particularly GUI usability issues? Gnome3 won't work under x2go, so I'm trying to use KDE but can't believe that anyone actually uses borderless windows where you can't tell where you are clicking near the edges, grey-background terminals or the default font set. So there must be some other themes or a lot that I don't know about it. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Format big drives (4TB) in the installer?
by CS_DBA 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi all; I cross posted this to the fedora list since we use Fedora as a test bed from time to time, however given this is a production server we'll likely be running CentOS. we've just ordered a new server (http://www.spectrumservers.com/ssproducts/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=26&idpr…) Originally I tried to simply upgrade an older server with more drive space, I installed six (6) 4TB drives and did a new CentOS 6.5 install but the OS would not allow me to configure more than 2TB per drive. Subsequent research leads me to conclude that if the bios supports UEFI and the installer boots as such then the installer should see 4TB drives without any issues. I'm also assuming that any server I order today (i.e. a more modern server) should ship with UEFI support in the bios. Are my conclusions above per UEFI correct? Thanks in advance

NFS4 idmap question
by Peter Wood 07 May '14

07 May '14

HTTPD on some of my CentOS5 systems is configured to run as user "nobody". Also, it needs access to some exported file systems. CentOS5 uses NFS3 so I changed the ownership of the files on the storage server to "nobody" to give httpd full permissions. Now I want to rebuild these systems with CentOS6 and httpd running as user "apache". The problem is how to give access to the NFS exports to these new servers while the old ones are still using the same exports. CentOS6 uses NFS4 so I was thinking to use idmap and statically map user "nobody" to local user "apache" but I can't seem to get it working. I wonder is it even possible considering that user "nobody" is a system type user? Any better ideas what I can do to give user nobody on CentOS5 and user apache on CentOS6 full access to the same NFS exported directories locally owned by user nobody? Thank you, -- Peter

We've added stuff in our kickstart script to partition with GPT and parted (fdisk doesn't do GPT, if you'd missed that). In the ks, we mklabel GPT, then do NOT clear partitioning when you go to create partitions, or it'll blow away the GPT. Also, my manager is very much not a fan of LVM, but we do have *large* RAIDs - we use RAID 6 for data, though we've used RAID 1 for /boot and /. Since I keep reading that "we really need to fix the fsck,etc tools for > 16TB in the next year" for the last 4 years (at least), I partition them as 14-16TB, and that works just fine. mark

files mysteriously changing ownership
by Tim Dunphy 07 May '14

07 May '14

We have a directory that holds the media for a website. We want that directory owned by the apache user and group. But for some reason that directory and all it's files keep reverting to being owned by a user account and group. [root@webservera ourwebsite]# ls -ld media/ drwxrwxr-x 163 user_a user_a_group 143360 Apr 29 13:29 media/ I have even setup a cron job to automate the ownership of this file to the right group to run every hour. 0 * * * * /bin/chown -R apache:apache /var/www/ourwebsite/media/ But every hour that directory keeps reverting to being owned by user_a and user_a_group. I've checked history files and crontabs for all users including root for rsync's and chowns. And I can find no evidence of what is causing this phenomenon of the directory automatically changing its' owner and group. How can I best investigate this in ways I haven't tried yet? The host in question is a CentOS 5.7 host. Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
