networkmanager VS OpenConnect VPN
by Fred Smith 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

I have a VPN connection using the openconnect vpn, and it is managed by network manager. Works fine. It has been on my system since the original Centos 7.x release. Now that I have Centos 7.3, while it still works fine, I find that I can no longer add a new connection using openconnect. I also find that I am not allowed to edit the existing openconnect vpn definition. attempting to create a new one lists only ipsec-based VPN as a choice, along with "import a saved VPN configuration". Attempting to edit the existing one pops up a little window that says: Could not edit connection Could not find VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.networkmanager.openconnect'. yum says I have the following items installed: yum list installed \*openconnect\* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.mirror.constant.com * elrepo: mirrors.evowise.com * epel: mirrors.mit.edu * extras: mirror.cc.columbia.edu * nux-dextop: mirror.li.nux.ro * updates: mirrors.advancedhosters.com Installed Packages NetworkManager-openconnect.x86_64 0.9.8.6-2.el7 @epel openconnect.x86_64 7.06-1.el7 @epel this has worked for some long time, now, so what is wrong here? I don't think I"m missing any packages, because "yum list available" doesn't find anything else that seems to be needed, only -debuginfo and -devel. Anyone got a clue for me? thanks!

Where can I find the SRPM for the latest C7 kernel-plus package, i.e. kernel-plus-3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.centos.plus.x86_64? http://vault.centos.org/7.3.1611/centosplus/Source/SPackages/ is empty. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ========================================================================

Can't delete or move /home on 7.3 install
by Glenn E. Bailey III 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Tried this in both AWS and GCE as I though it may be a specific cloud vendor issue. SELinux is disabled, lsof | grep home shows nothing, lsattr /home shows nothing. Simply get "Device or resource busy." Works just find on 7.2 so I'm kinda at a loss. Scanned over the RHEL release notes and didn't see anything. Anyone else have this issue? We move our /home to another mount point and symlink /home to it .. -- "replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."

PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency.
by Michael Hennebry 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I'm running centos 6, just did a yum update, and still cannot get sound from vlc. The entire message (reformatted): Potential PulseAudio version problem: PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency. Sound may be lost or quality degraded. To address that issue, upgrade the PulseAudio daemon to version 3.0, or disable the alternate sampling rate in its configuration I can find /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and its man page , but cannot figure out what to do. pulseaudio.x86_64 0.9.21-24.el6 @base vlc.x86_64 2.0.10-1.el6 @rpmfusion-free-updates Any ideas? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

SASL attacks and SPAM
by TE Dukes 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I wanted to pass this along. I'm sure it may be nothing new to most of you, but it has greatly reduced sasl attacks and spam. I found most of it here: https://scottlinux.com/2011/05/26/prevent-postfix-brute-force/ I added the fail2ban rule and modified my postfix main.cf as follows: smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 3 smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, permit smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, check_policy_service unix:postgrey/socket, permit smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 3 smtpd_client_message_rate_limit = 5 smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit = 60 smtpd_client_event_limit_exceptions = $mynetworks smtpd_client_new_tls_session_rate_limit = 3 smtpd_error_sleep_time = 1s smtpd_soft_error_limit = 10 smtpd_hard_error_limit = 20 Has knocked down all the spam and about 99% of the sasl attacks. If anyone would like to add to this, please do so. TIA

Problem with Centos & Alsa on reboot
by Robert Jeffares 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I have a number of machines using Centos 6.8 They have M-Audio sound cards. When I set the output levels using alsamixer and save using 'alsactrl store' [creating a requested directory] the settings do not restore on reboot. I have no idea why they don't. running 'alsactrl restore' works so the settings are being saved. I think the on board card settings are loaded OK /var/lib/alsa/asound.state seems to have the right permissions, and I can find no errors in any logs. My fix is to run a script from /etc/rc.local which runs on restart and sends me an email --------------snip----------------- #! /bin/bash date > /home/rd/soundset.log alsactl restore cat /home/rd/soundset.log |mail -s 'sound set ' your(a)email.com exit 0 --------------snip----------------- It's either Centos or Alsa. Did not have this in earlier systems. regards Robert -- *Big Valley Radio* 64 Warner Park Avenue Laingholm Auckland 0604 09 8176358 0221693124 06 650 6087

missing rh-git29-git package
by Juan Barayoga 19 Dec '16

Hi. We wish to install rh-git29 from the Software Collections repo and it's failing because of a missing rh-git29-git package. It appears to be absent still on the latest Centos 7.3. distro.

CentOS 7, ATI video, ex-X, still fighting
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Still trying to get it running. Updated CentOS 7, ATI video card, trying to use the radeon driver, and, using the previous kernel, X appears to come up, but gdm fails; with the 514 kernel, X fails to start. And here's a twist: I just rebooted, with radeon.modeset=1 on the kernel line... and for no reason I know of, I get *six* logs, Xorg.[0-5].log. Does this suggest anything to anyone? I can't imagine it's trying to start X six times.... mark

Semi-OT: thunderbird displaying inline
by mark 19 Dec '16

Hi, folks, This is odd. Just recently, at home, even though I have it set to display messages as plain text, I'm suddenly seeing pics attached to spam inline, as though I had it set to display html. Can't find anything to make it stop - anyone have a clue? mark
