[Infra] - Major outage for several services (please read) (Fabian Arrotin) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:36:32 +0200 From: Fabian Arrotin <arrfab(a)centos.org> To: "The CentOS developers mailing list." <centos-devel(a)centos.org>, centos-announce(a)centos.org, "ci-users(a)centos.org" <ci-users(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] [Infra] - Major outage for several services (please read) Message-ID: <97c7a0ce-5b98-e9df-a431-9e7aea6cb6bd(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" As pre-announced earlier this year (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2016-May/014792.html) we'll have to move a part of our existing hardware to a new DC. That means that the following public services will be powered off and unreachable : - https://cbs.centos.org (Koji build farm front end and also builders/storage nodes behind) - https://accounts.centos.org (auth backend) - https://ci.centos.org (jenkins-driven CI environment and all nodes in that dedicated/isolated environment) What does that mean ? - Nobody from the SIGs (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup) will be able to submit build jobs/tasks (so no update at all during that migration) - No CI job will be able to track CBS nor external repositories (and so that means also that http://artifacts.ci.centos.org will be unreachable) - Not possible for existing users to update their details on accounts.centos.org, and not possible to create new accounts either We're working on a plan to minimize the downtime/reconfiguration part, but at first sight, due to the hardware move of the racks/cabling parts/etc, the announced downtime will be probably ~48h. Migration is scheduled for """"Monday October 10th, 1:00 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2016-10-10 13:00 UTC') We'll start to restore services as soon as possible, while working in coordination with the DC people closely (and after validation about network ports, connection) During this period you can come talk to us in #centos-devel and we will be posting updates there. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

Iptables not save rules
by TE Dukes 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Hello, I have been using ipset to blacklist badbots. Works like a champ! The only problem is if I do a system reboot, I lose the ipset and the rule. I changed /etc/sysconfig/iptables.conf to: IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="yes" IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP="yes" And followed the instructions in: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3853 The changes are still not saved. The rules show up in the running /etc/syscong/iptables but are lost on a reboot. Also, firewalld is not installed. This is a CentOS 6.8 system. One question, do I need to stop iptables before I add the rules? I have seen examples where sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. TIA

yum history list
by Michael H 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

Hi List, I have several workstations all with exactly the same OS versions, kernels + yum versions; CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-327.28.3.el7 yum.noarch 3.4.3-132.el7.centos.0.1 running a 'yum history list' command produces different outputs on some workstations, I haven't changed any yum configurations. Workstation A: yum history list Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks ID | Login user | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered Workstation B: yum history list Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks ID | Command line | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered Any clue as to why I have different fields being output? I see in the yum manual: In "history list" you can change the behaviour of the 2nd column via the configuration option history_list_view. But I'm unsure how I can adjust the columns. Any clues would be much appreciated, Thanks, Michael

Recommendation about an usb wireless adapter to use it as HostAP
by C. L. Martinez 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

Hi all, I would like to install/test CentOS 7.X as a hostap for my home. I am thinking to use an Alfa (http://www.alfa.com.tw) usb wireless adapter or TP-Link. BUt there is not much information in Alfa's or TP-Link's web sites about which of them can run as a HostAP. If I can find any adapter that supports ac with a throughput of 150 Mbps/300Mbps, it would be great. Any recommendation? Maybe AWUS036ACH and TP-TLW722N can supports this functionality, but I am not sure ... Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L. Martinez

Help?
by TE Dukes 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

I'm not a 'power user' or some corporate IT guy, just a home user that's been around for a while. Been with Redhat since 2.0, guess I'm the little fish in the big ocean. Guess I'll move on to another distribution or back to Fortran and developing statistical models for the CIA/DIA Thank you, happy to help!!

I was searching tonight how to update OLD systems. I have C5 and C6 systems that need updating and they are remote systems. I followed the paths and ended up at DNF. Is this a valid option for updating C5 and C6 to take them to C7? Thanks, Jerry

CentOS 7 AMIs and deletion of root volumes on AWS when terminating instances
by Silverstein 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hi, We have noticed that the CentOS 7 AMIs in AWS do not delete their root volumes on termination. It appears this is the way that the AMIs were created. The AWS Linux AMIs appear to have this enabled. So they do delete their root volumes on termination. Does anyone know why the CentOS AMIs are created so that they don't delete their root volumes on termination? Herc

NetworkManger wireless issues - "Failed to load root certificates"/"unable to get local issuer certificate"
by Toralf Lund 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to connect my CentOS 6.8 laptop to the wireless net at work, which is secured with WPA2 and AES. I've done this successfully in the past using NetworkManager, but a new safety feature was recently introduced: A CA certificate is required. After this, I've not been able to connect. I have a DER format file, whose path I've entered in CA certificate: in the NetworkManager security page, but apparently, this isn't enough; NetworkManager will try for a while, then pop up the security/login dialog again. I found the following in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log, which I believe is related to this issue: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED EAP authentication started CTRL-EVENT-EAP-PROPOSED-METHOD vendor=0 method=13 -> NAK CTRL-EVENT-EAP-PROPOSED-METHOD vendor=0 method=25 OpenSSL: tls_connection_ca_cert - Failed to load root certificates error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) CTRL-EVENT-EAP-METHOD EAP vendor 0 method 25 (PEAP) selected TLS: Certificate verification failed, error 20 (unable to get local issuer certificate) depth 1 for '/DC=com/DC=.../DC=.../CN=...' CTRL-EVENT-EAP-TLS-CERT-ERROR reason=1 depth=1 subject='/DC=com/DC=.../DC=.../CN=...' err='unable to get local issuer certificate' SSL: SSL3 alert: write (local SSL3 detected an error):fatal:unknown CA OpenSSL: openssl_handshake - SSL_connect error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed CTRL-EVENT-EAP-FAILURE EAP authentication failed Note: I've removed some of the "DC=" info for privacy reasons, but what I'm seeing there, makes me think that the DER file has indeed been read. Maybe this means I have to provide additional certificate info somewhere, somehow, but what would be the exact nature of the data, and where do I put it? I googled for some of the error messages and found that others have had similar issues, but the feedback given to them left me none the wiser. Actually, wpa_supplicant.conf updates are mentioned in some cases, but they appear to be related to information that I thought would be provided by NetworkManager in this case. So, does anyone know more about this? What certificate or certificate configuration files should I need in addition to what's specified in the NetworkManager config? What else may be wrong? Any help will be appreciated. - Toralf
