Alsa pulseaudio & procmail
by Adrian van Bloois 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hi, I'm using a program called morse to generate morse code signals when mail is received. This is done by calling this program depending on de subject or from of the incoming mail. THis worked fine on CentOS 6 but since I'm using CentOS 7 it does nt work anymore. In my procmail logging I get: ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused Can't access speaker. Normal listening to streams on the Internet works fine, the program morse itself works fine, but runningit from procmail fails. Any ideas?

Manual Install fail in first steps
by Andreas Benzler 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hello everyone, while I wanne try out very special partition, i walk through https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/ManualInstall but fail allready at "INSTALL setup basesystem filesystem" This is very clear to me, because rpm don't know the full path (real version) or is there some thing wrong ?? Anaconda it self works with groups like @base etc... Very wired. Doesn't looks like up to date. Sincerely Andy

I've never had to do anything at all to make this work,... I insert the USB device, wait a few seconds, and voila! are you trying this because you can't get it to work the "normal" way, or is this simply an educational experience? Fred Its not mounting on its own as it did in 6.8. If I click on it in gnome, it mounts but REAR won't backup to it. If i manually mount it from a terminal, I have read/write access. Haven't been able to get a backup since I upgraded back in mid-January.

pam_tally2 after unlock time

Hi All, I prepared a Centos 6.8 Minimal server, as part of hardening i added PAM rules under system-auth and password-auth to lock the user account for 30 minutes after 3 failed login attempts. ############system-auth############### auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 unlock_time=1800 auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account required pam_tally2.so account sufficient pam_localuser.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type= password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so ###################password-auth######### auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 unlock_time=1800 auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account required pam_tally2.so account sufficient pam_localuser.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type= password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so ################################################################# Now, *after 3 failed attempts user locked successfully but after 30mins when i tried with wrong password for first attempt it again got locked.

Hello, Been try to use autofs to mount and unmount a usb flashdrive. The mount point is /media When the drive is NOT inserted, /media is empty. When Iinsert the drive, I see directories in /media that are on the usb drive but nocontent.

Licence text questions
by Walter Dnes 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

I'm running a CentOS 6.5 chroot to build Pale Moon (a Firefox fork) for older machines running distros like Puppy linux. Before anyone asks... * Yes, even though the older machines are using "ancient" glibc, etc, they do have security patches back-ported, e.g. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461 "Lucid Puppy Revitalized as 5.2.8.7 - December, 2016" * I realize that CentOS 6.5 is "not safe for surfing". It starts at the commandline, and the only network activity is pulling down source code with git, and scp to send the compiled package to the host, i.e. my desktop PC. If necessary, that could be done by the host OS. It's used for building, and nothing else. Currently just Pale Moon, but other software could also be built. Other people are interested in doing the same. My choices are... * explain how to install CentOS 6.5, which options to choose, turn off boot-to-gui, and how to download and build newer gcc, yasm, and python-2.7 to duplicate my build environment, etc, etc. * or send out a 1.3 gigabyte centos65.tar.xz and give simple instructions to extract the archive, copy over /etc/resolv.conf, bind-mount /dev and /proc, chroot into the directory, and get going right away. I'm not charging money, but the 2nd choice literally involves re-distributing CentOS, and additional Open Source software. I believe that I'm required to provide at least the location from which it can be obtained. Here's a first draft of my "licences.txt". Any problems, suggestions? ======================================================================== The tarball is a collection of various Open Source software, assembled and bundled together by Walter Dnes <waltdnes(a)waltdnes.org>. It's based on a 32-bit CentOS 6.5 install. Additional components necessary for the building of Pale Moon 27 were built from source. It was originally installed in a QEMU VM (Virtual Machine), and then rsync'd to a directory on the host machine for use as a chroot environment. The tarballed directory is intended to run as a chroot environment. The various softwares remain subject to their original licences. As required by many Open Source licences, here is a list of where the original software can be obtained. * The CentOS 6.5 distro can be obtained at http://vault.centos.org/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1.iso http://vault.centos.org/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD2.iso DVD1 is approx 3.6 gigabytes and DVD2 is approx 1 gigabyte The following additional source code was downloaded and used to build additional infrastructure required for building Pale Moon. * Python 2.7.13 can be otained at https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/Python-2.7.13.tgz * gcc 4.9.4 can be obtained at http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-4.9.4/gcc-4.9.4.tar.bz2 * gcc 5.4.0 can be obtained at http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-5.4.0/gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2 * YASM 1.3.0 can be obtained at http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz ======================================================================== -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes(a)waltdnes.org>

Wich web browser on CentOS6 ?
by Patrick Begou 11 Feb '17

Hello I have more and more troubles using firefox in professional environment with CentOS6. The latest version is 45.7.0 But I can't use it anymore to access some old server hardware (IDRAC7 of DELL C6100) because of "/SSL_ERROR_WEAK_SERVER_CERT_KEY/". I had to install an old Firefox32 version to administrate these servers. Today I upgrade the firmware of 2 DELL switch and now Firefox cannot connect to them anymore saying: /An error occurred during a connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The server rejected the handshake because the client downgraded to a lower TLS version than the server supports// //SSL_ERROR_INAPPROPRIATE_FALLBACK_ALERT /Is there a CentOS6 recommended web browser allowing continuous connections to olds and new base level (and local) system administration services ?

Often self-signed with 1kb keys and md5 signature hashes. Not to mention many are past their expiry dates. However, given the revelations of state sanctioned snooping on network traffic browsers are being pushed to implement increased compliance checking for the overall security of users. Firefox is simply implementing what various 'authorities' are recommending as secure practices with respect to authentication using pki and x-509 certificates. The present situation is a PIA. It could be a lot more user-friendly if FF so chose. They could have easily allowed one to turn off these advanced compliance checks for specific IP and DNS addresses so that the intended benefit remained but the interference with existing infrastructure was minimised. But, FF is on its own chosen path to oblivion and the idea of compromise is totally absent from their project plan. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

An rpm package with country flags in PNG format for CentOS 6
by Alexander Farber 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hello fellow CentOS users, does anybody please know a package for CentOS 6 with at least 200 country flag images in PNG format and (lowercased or uppercased) ISO-conform 2-letter naming (like "us.png", "de.png", "ru.png", ...)? This does not have to be a specific graphic-related package, but can be anything - like a Nagios package, or maybe KDE-help package... I am looking for a package to install at my CentOS 6 LAMP server and to (ab)use those images to display the country flags on the served webpages. Thank you for any ideas Alex

Centos7 - SELinux messing with my named.conf
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Well, actually it is me cp-ing files and SELinux yelling at me later... I had named working, but detected that I had a couple clean ups to do in /etc/named.conf and an include file in /etc/named. I made the changes, scp to my user id from my notebook, 'su' in my ssh session and cp the named.conf and other files. Made sure to fix the file ownership with chown root:named, and that permissions were correct. Then restarted named. Of course if failed. After a little playing and digging around I find: # journalctl -xe -- -- Unit named-setup-rndc.service has finished starting up. -- -- The start-up result is done.

Re: [CentOS] mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error - workaround

> This is a known issue: >https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=58168 >I would recommend filing a bug with Red Hat to have them fix it. I am going to see if I can find someone in the organization with a Red Hat account to open the bug. In the meantime, I came up with a workaround. I wanted to see if I could role the updates back to CentOS 6.7 since the system was 6.7 until I applied the updates. The alternative is to load the system from scratch, so what is there to loose. The result seems to be working so I will document what I did. # First I rebooted and specified to use the original kernel # Then mount the place where I unloaded the original DVD ISOs mount -t nfs phxbkup2:/iso/centos6.7x64 /media/CentOS # Tried to sync from this location, but it did not work, yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 distribution-synchronization # There were a number of conflicts that prevented the yum to run. # The troublesome packages did not look like they would prevent booting, so I got rid of them yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 erase python-libipa_hbac-1.13.3-22.el6_8.4.x86_64 mesa-libxatracker-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-13.4.el6.x86_64 mesa-libxatracker-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 erase xcb-util xcb-util-renderutil # Tried the distro sync again and it went through. yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 distribution-synchronization # Tried to put back the problem packages, especially since one contained the driver I needed. The drivers went in. # The xcb-util xcb-util-renderutil got reinstalled as part of the distro sync yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 install xorg-x11-drivers # The other packages were not part of the media, so they got left out. yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 install python-libipa_hbac mesa-libxatracker mesa-libxatracker # Finally, I disabled the CentOS-Base repos and enabled the CentOS-Vault 6.7 repos (Same3 as from the Base) and ran "yum update" to get to the latest set from 6.7.

Spotty internet connection
by TE Dukes 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

How do you IT guys diagnose the problem with a spotty internet connection? Just spent an hour on the phone with TWC/Spectrum. Of course they don't see anything wrong with their service. They send me to speedtest.net. The first attempt, the page didn't fully load, the second attempt, the page didn't load at all, the third attempt, it loaded. On a 20/2MB line I get 24.83/2.47MB. The speed is better than what I'm paying for but its spotty. Lately I have been getting slow and partial page loads, server not found, server timed out, etc.. Get knocked off ssh when accessing my home server from work, etc. Its not the work connection because I don't have problems accessing other sites, just here at home and my home server. Is there any kind of utility to check for failing hardware? TIA

Rebuild gstreamer
by Jerry Geis 07 Feb '17

Hi all, I have a need to rebuild the gstreamer and gst-plugins in CentOS 7. So I found the wiki for rebuilding a source package... I downloaded the vault.centos.org files, installed them with dependencies. I did the rpmbuild -ba for each of the four packages. All seemed to go well. No errors reported. However - the /usr/bin/gst-inspect* listing shows the files as OLD ls -l /usr/bin/gst-inspect* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16000 Jun 9 2014 /usr/bin/gst-inspect -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45488 Jun 9 2014 /usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45552 Nov 20 2015 /usr/bin/gst-inspect-1.0 However the file was genereated as shows here: pwd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/gstreamer-0.10.36/tools [root@W530 tools]# ls -l gst-inspect* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36632 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8436 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect-0.10 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1768 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect-0.10.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 1768 Dec 11 2011 gst-inspect.1.in -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 53933 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect.c -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 47400 Dec 29 2011 gst-inspect.c.rpm-provides So the package built... why did /usr/bin/gst-inspect* not match the above directory.

Trick to compile older packages

I am trying to add a package (I know its older - but it should work) gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8 to CentOS 7. The gstreamer 0.10 packages are included in C7 and they compile just fine. When I extract and try to compile gst-rtsp-server 0.10.8 the ./configure goes fine. but the make results in errors: make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2' Making all in gst make[2]: Entering directory `/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2/gst' Making all in rtsp-server make[3]: Entering directory `/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2/gst/rtsp-server' CC libgstrtspserver_0.10_la-rtsp-media.lo rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_class_init': rtsp-media.c:143:3: error: 'g_thread_create' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:104): Use 'g_thread_new' instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] klass->thread = g_thread_create ((GThreadFunc) do_loop, klass, TRUE, &error); ^ rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_init': rtsp-media.c:160:3: error: 'g_mutex_new' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:277) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] media->lock = g_mutex_new (); ^ rtsp-media.c:161:3: error: 'g_cond_new' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:281) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] media->cond = g_cond_new (); ^ rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_finalize': rtsp-media.c:242:3: error: 'g_mutex_free' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:279) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] g_mutex_free (media->lock); ^ rtsp-media.c:243:3: error: 'g_cond_free' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:283) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] g_cond_free (media->cond); ^ rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_get_status': rtsp-media.c:1504:5: error: 'g_cond_timed_wait' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:285) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] if (!g_cond_timed_wait (media->cond, media->lock, &timeout)) { ^ How to I get this package to compile just like the gst-plugins (bad, good, base) 0.10 for C7? I was trying to look at the spec file for the other packages - but I dont see the trick. Any pointers? Jerry

Chrony vd NTP
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

I have read: http://thegeekdiary.com/centos-rhel-7-chrony-vs-ntp-differences-between-ntp… My server is up all the time and will serve time to internal systems (via DHCP options). Caveat is that my server is an armv7 (Cubieboard2) which does not have an RTC (no battery). So whenever the system boots, the time is ZERO (Dec 31, 1969 or some such). Chrony fixes this really fast; shortly after boot the time is good. Chrony CAN be configed as an internal time server. But chrony does not seem to step the clock for any adjustments needed. It is more important that this systems time be right all the time than to avoid clock steps. This brings me back to NTP, which normally takes hours to bring the time from ZERO to current, but keeps the time correct. So: Can Chrony check the time, say once a day? Or can NTP make a BIG time jump all at once (on system restart)? thanks

install of audacity kills audio
by ken 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

# uname -r 3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64 # cat /etc/centos-release CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) Prior to the below the sound/audio on my system worked just fine. Then a yum of install of audacity with dependencies: ... Downloading packages: (1/6): vamp-plugin-sdk-2.5-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | 172 kB 00:03 (2/6): wxGTK-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64.rpm | 2.9 MB 00:00 (3/6): audacity-2.1.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 4.3 MB 00:08 (4/6): portaudio-19-16.el7.x86_64.rpm | 88 kB 00:09 (5/6): libid3tag-0.15.1b-17.el7.x86_64.rpm | 48 kB 00:09 (6/6): wxBase-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64.rpm | 588 kB 00:10 ... Now nothing which is supposed to output is working; e.g., something as simple as "play file.wav" hangs at the start and outputs no sound at all. Two minutes prior to the install the exact same command worked. Same story with other apps using sound. I "erased" (rpm -e ...) all of the installed packages listed above. That didn''t fix the problem. My guess is that the install loaded one or more bogus kernel modules, it would be nice if lsmod showed WHEN the modules were loaded, but it doesn't. Is there some way to find this out? # lspci -vv -s 00:1f.3 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H HD Audio (rev 31) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 80ee Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 130 Region 0: Memory at 96220000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Region 4: Memory at 96210000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=55mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee003d8 Data: 0000 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel # rmmod snd_hda_intel rmmod: ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use snd_hda_intel probably isn't the offending module anyway. I recall having this same problem five or ten years ago with an audacity install, but don't recall what I did to fix it. Anyone here closer to this issue? Thanks much.

Delaying services starting at boot
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

Back to the challenge of a server with no RTC. Chrony advances the clock some 14B sec a bit after bootup. So sometimes services like httpd start with a bad time of Dec 31, 1969. Is there some way to delay services starting until Chrony has done its job to bring the clock up? I think it matters to some extent, as /var/log/http/error.log is filled this time with messages about http starting with that 1969 date. Other times, on boot, I don't see these messages, and thus guess that Chrony set the time before httpd started. thanks

CentOS 7.3.1611 scap-security-guide issue
by Michał Jankowski 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

Hello, I have noticed that pci-dss profile, ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml will always fail on test and remediation for disable_prelink rule. That seem to be caused by insufficient CentOS RPM customization of upstream code. Specifically this: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/blob/master/shared/oval/dis… <https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/blob/master/shared/oval/dis…> That condition will always fail on CentOS because it misses: <extend_definition comment="Installed OS is CentOS7" definition_ref=" installed_OS_is_centos7" /> I was thinking about raising a bug on https://bugs.centos.org or committing a fix in https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!scap-security-guide but I am unsure as to what action should I take. The other issue I'm facing is trying to workaround the disable_prelink rule by simply taking it out of tests. I have create a tailor file but it doesn't seem to be taken into consideration. The file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <cdf-11-tailoring:Tailoring xmlns:cdf-11-tailoring=" http://open-scap.org/page/Xccdf-1.1-tailoring" xmlns:xccdf=" http://checklists.nist.gov/xccdf/1.1" id="xccdf_scap-workbench_tailoring_default"> <cdf-11-tailoring:benchmark href="/private/tmp/ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml"/> <cdf-11-tailoring:version time="2017-01-31T14:41:00">1</cdf-11-tailoring:version> <xccdf:Profile id="pci-dss_disable_rule_prelink" extends="pci-dss"> <xccdf:title xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" override="true">PCI-DSS v3 Control Baseline for CentOS Linux 7 [CUSTOMIZED]</xccdf:title> <xccdf:description xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" override="true">This is a *draft* profile for PCI-DSS v3</xccdf:description> <xccdf:select idref="disable_prelink" selected="false"/> </xccdf:Profile> </cdf-11-tailoring:Tailoring> Then the oscap command I tried: oscap xccdf eval --remediate --tailoring-file tailor.xml --profile pci-dss --fetch-remote-resources /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml It is my debut on the list, thank you for your consideration :-)
