So if that is the case it is not by intent. In any case. I have since shutdown and restarted the gnome session multiple times without Skype running and it auto-starts every time regardless. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

I had not thought of that, probably because I never encountered the need before. None-the-less, there is no entry in that list which appears related to Skype. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

Once one is logged into ones Skype account then the program shows many more options. None of which that I can find control whether or not to start the program automatically. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

more newbie questions -- init 5 works, init 3 doesn't for "normal" users
by Kay Schenk 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

OK, after 3 tries I got CentOS 6.6 installed (don't ask). Now something very odd is happening. My regular user, me, can not login to level 3 without odd errors. I get /home/<username> not found when it's there and setup with correct permissions -- well here I am using it in run level 5 just fine! So, my normal user is left logged in at /root. Even if I move over to the correct /home area and then try startx (my preferred way of doing business), it does NOT start. Tries all kinds of things, and finally fails. My next step is to take a look at the gnome startup script vs startx to see if I can figure out the differences if no one has encountered this before. ps. the partitioning tool DID work, but a LOT of futzing with this. I finally did end up with combining my old /opt and /usr with /, so hopefully I won't run into any issues later. -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "We can all sleep easy at night knowing that somewhere at any given time, the Foo Fighters are out there fighting Foo." -- David Letterman

selinux allow apache log access
by Tim Dunphy 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hey guys,. I have a centos 7 machine I'm using as a zabbix server. And I noticed that apache won't start, with this complaint in the error log: (13)Permission denied: AH00091: httpd: could not open error log file /var/log/zabbix_error_log. AH00015: Unable to open logs I tried having a look at audit2allow and this is the response I get back: [root@monitor2:/etc/httpd] #grep http /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow #============= httpd_t ============== allow httpd_t zabbix_log_t:file open; How can I turn that bit of information into a rule that allows apache access to this zabbix log file? I notice that if I disable selinux using setenfor 0, apache starts up without complaint. But I would rather not leave it disabled.

AutoFS mystery ...
by Ashley M. Kirchner 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

I need a second pair of eyes here, please. I have a CentOS 6.6 server (let's call it 'S1") that has a Samba share on it that is currently working. We can mount that drive on our Windows work stations and transfer/delete from it just fine. It's setup as a "guest" config so no user specific passwords or any other restrictions like that. I'm trying to setup another server ("S2"), also CentOS 6.6 with autofs to mount that same share when it needs to. For some reason I can't seem to get it to work. I get no error message anywhere, no indication of a failure, nothing. So on S2 I have: $ cat /etc/auto.master /misc /etc/auto.misc /mnt/trex /etc/auto.trex /net -hosts $ cat /etc/auto.trex trex -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,credentials=/etc/cifs-credentials-trex ://bigrip/TREX The file /etc/cifs-credentials-trex is present with the correct credentials, and the server also has in its /etc/hosts file an entry that tells it what IP that 'bigrip' machine is. Having done all of that and restarting the service (or even the whole machine) does not auto mount that share and I can't figure out why. I've completely disabled iptables on both machines, no luck. When I issue an smbclient command, I get this: $ smbclient -L bigrip -Uguest Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.23-14.el6_6] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (BRASCO) TREX Disk T-Rex I should point out that I have a nearly identical setup across two other machines that is working just fine. I say nearly identical because in that setup, the first server is actually a Windows Server system while the other is a CentOS6.6. I've tried as much as I can (or remember) and mirrored the same setup and config files. Nothing. So, what am I forgetting here?

Advanced has the choices of: Skype: 'Enable Skype WiFi' (off) and Connection: Use port (0) for incoming connections Drop Down Proxy Settings (Automatic Proxy Detection) Host (blank) Port (blank) User (blank) Password (blank) And that is it.
