Relocation of logfiles in logwatch
by adrian＠pa0rda.nl 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, I try to teach logwatch that some of my logfiles are relocated. E.g., mail mailog now lives in mail/info and secure has moved too auth/info. I adjusted /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/SERVICE.conf accordingly but logwatch does not understand. What is the right way to adapt logwatch to the new reality?

glusterfs bits..
by lejeczek 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

hi everyone before I subscribe to yet another @list I was hoping a centosian here has some experience and know the answer - I've started googling but have to failed - glusterfs does not translate local FS (xfs) quotas and presents them to its clients, does it? It is only glusterfs own quota functions that we have to manage quoatas? many thanks. L.

mailing list mail from @yahoo addresses

I believe that the issue is that yahoo updated their dmarc record a bit ago, so now won't accept mail, from 3rd-parties, that has an @yahoo... "mailfrom", as yours do on this list. If the non-@yahoo mailing sender doesn't do what's necessary to deal with enforced dmarc, and your mail provider enforces dmarc, you won't see messages from @yahoo correspondents -- which is likely why you aren't seeing your own list messages. Additionally if a mailing list has enough @yahoo posters, this can generate sufficient bounces to get you kicked off the mailing list on a regular basis. There are various ways for mailers/mailing lists to deal with the enforced dmarc. My understanding is that with Mailman, which this list uses, one has to upgrade to -3. Email service providers can't send to/from Yahoo Mail addresses Questions about our DMARC policy Why are my emails bouncing? We've updated the DMARC record with "p=reject" for multiple Yahoo domains. This means all DMARC compliant mail receivers (including Yahoo, Hotmail, and Gmail) are now bouncing emails sent as "@yahoo.com" addresses that aren't sent through Yahoo servers. Any messages without a proper Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature or Sender Policy Framework (SPF) alignment will be rejected. <https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN24016.html> <https://yahoomail.tumblr.com/post/82426900353/yahoo-dmarc-policy-change-wha…>

In one of the Yahoo articles I referred to earlier they indicate that Hotmail and Gmail (in addition to themselves) enforce DMARC. My mail provider (Rackspace) does now too so I get dropped off various lists (including this one the other day) every few days. The issue is in how the mailing list sends out messages. If they are addressed as if they come from an @yahoo address (e.g,. the original poster), but not from an authorized yahoo mail server, any mail server enforcing (in this case yahoo's) DMARC will reject the message. After enough bounces the mailing list will drop you (with or without notice). Short of getting your mailing list mail via a provider that doesn't enforce DMARC this week, there's nothing an end-user can really do. >From some lists that I'm on that are handling this, it appears that mailman 2.1.18 can (or can be made to) deal with the addressing so that things pass the DMARC test. This list appears to use 2.1.12.

Lost Wifi device after update/reboot
by Johannes Haas 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

After updating and rebooting my laptop, I seem to have lost my wifi device. Since it still is physically intact (everything works when I boot a live system from USB) I have the suspicion that something went wrong on the CentOS side. Also, ,my password prompt after booting (system is encrypted) now appears to see an US keyboard layout, instead of the German layout it should have, so it seems like there is indeed something wrong/changed with my system. Apparently there used to be some issues with older versions where the system simply forgot the "NetworkManager-wifi " package, but according to "rpm -q" I still have that. "rfkill list" does not list my wifi card, whereas "lspci | grep Network" seems OK: "04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59)" So, is it "simply" an issue with with CentOS, or did I do something wrong without realizing it?

samba CTDB inability to create smb.conf cache
by lejeczek 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

hi everyone any experience with ctdb? I'm setting up a simple cluster, only ldap backend instead of tdb2. One (of the two) server fails this way: 50.samba: ERROR: smb.conf cache create failed $ ctdb status Number of nodes:2 pnn:0 10.5.6.32 OK pnn:1 10.5.6.49 UNHEALTHY (THIS NODE) Generation:323266562 Size:2 hash:0 lmaster:0 hash:1 lmaster:1 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0) Recovery master:0 If I copy the file manually while ctdb is running I see: 50.samba: WARNING: smb.conf cache update failed - using old cache file Node became HEALTHY. Ask recovery master 0 to perform ip reallocation and: $ ctdb status Number of nodes:2 pnn:0 10.5.6.32 OK pnn:1 10.5.6.49 OK (THIS NODE) but only so far as next stop/restart. What the heck? Why is that one box unable to create that cache file? Would you care to make some sense out of it for me please? thx L.

How to start a script to complete configuration
by Bernard Fay 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hi, We have a virtual environment based on XenServer. In this environment I defined a template for CentOS 7 servers. I would like to start a script a boot time to complete the configuration of new VMs based on this template. How can I have a script started before any login prompt to ask question to the user to complete the configuration such as hostname, IP address, etc? Thanks, Bernard

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.3 packages updates options without upgrading.
by Dipal Bhatt 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi, Thanks for your responses. Unfortunately, there's not possibility in this specific situation to be able to update from 6.3 -> 6.8. But, it would be nice to be able to update specific packages to latest that's available in 6.8 repo at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/ For example, nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.i686.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.…> 2016-05-12 10:48 67K nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.…> 2016-05-12 10:47 67K nss-util-devel-3.21.0-2.el6.i686.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-devel-3.21.0-…> 2016-05-12 10:48 69K nss-util-devel-3.21.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-devel-3.21.0-…> 2016-05-12 10:48 69K Simply updating these packages on 6.3, would there be any issues w/o updating rest of the packages from 6.3 to 6.8? As I mentioned, 'yum update' or updating to latest 6.8 packages from 6.3 is not currently plausible or even feasible for some reason. Or, please suggest any other options to be able to update such packages w/o updating rest of the userland on 6.3? Thank again very much.

CentOS 6.3 packages updates options without upgrading.
by Dipal Bhatt 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi, IT seems, centos6.3 does no longer get any updates esp security fixes as per readme here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/readme Is there updated source RPMs that can be rebuilt and hand patched, for example, nss-util 3.21.0-2 or openssl 1.0.1e that can be safely used on CentOS 6.3? Any other options that you can shed some light on, highly appreciated for above examples. My apologies if this is not the right group to post such questions or if any existing literature available for same, please kindly refer to right place. The other option is to use CentOS 6.8 updated package on 6.3, but I am not sure of any upstream and downstream dependencies in 6.3 without updating the rest of the userland from 6.3 to 6.8. Nonetheless, would this option be feasible? Appreciated very much, Thank you.
