update to 7.4
by Jerry Geis 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

I was doing an update to 7.4 and somewhere in middle the machine died. If I drop back to a previous kernel the machine is alive. So how do I say "forget the previous yum update" and start all over and do it again. Booting into the new kernel I get a kernel fault. So going back one level on teh boot screen solves that - I just need to start the update again. How is that? Thanks, Jerry

If the objective is to restrict students' Internet access in its entirety then this is doomed to fail. Have you clarified with the director that only access through your gateway can be affected by this policy and that student devices with cellular data plans will still have access? -- *** 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.

CentOS, PHP & OwnCloud/Nextcloud: the version dilemma
by Nicolas Kovacs 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with OwnCloud and Nextcloud on a sandbox CentOS 7 server. I've been using OwnCloud for the last two years for my own purposes on a Slackware server, and I'm quite happy with it. In my humble opinion, every admin who wants to host OwnCloud or Nextcloud on a RHEL/CentOS server is confronted with a version dilemma. 1. CentOS 7 sports PHP 5.4, which has been officially EOL for quite some time, but Red Hat will provide security update backports until 2024. Which is fine. 2. Currently supported versions of Nextcloud (namely the 11.x and 12.x branch) require a minimum of PHP 5.6. Which seems reasonable. But if I pull in PHP 5.6 from Webtatic, for example, I only get the "official" PHP support, which will end in 2018 for the 5.6 branch. And no security backports. 3. The solution would be to go with Nextcloud 10, which only requires PHP 5.4, and which is also provided in package form by EPEL. 'yum info nextcloud' shows that the current EPEL version is 10.0.4... but a peek on the Nextcloud homepage shows me that this version is officially unsupported. Uh oh. 4. Some of the stuff I'm hosting on my CentOS 7 server (like CMSMS) is not compatible with PHP 7.x versions. So right now I don't see a solution for this. As far as I can see, the "least evil" solution would be to pull in PHP 5.6 from Webtatic and go for Nextcloud 11.x, and have an EOL for both around next summer. I'd be curious if some of you are familiar with this sort of dilemma (I guess so) and how you manage it.

Block internet access for some users on the LAN ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi, In our local school we have two servers and roughly 80 clients. The network is 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0, and DHCP+DNS is managed by Dnsmasq. School PCs (teachers and management) are registered via MAC address and get an IP address in a specific range: 192.168.10.2 - 192.168.10.50 - management + teachers 192.168.10.201 - 192.168.10.220 - computer room 192.168.10.246 - 192.168.10.247 - printers 192.168.10.251 - 192.168.10.253 - wireless access points If a client (like a student's laptop, tablet or smartphone) is not registered, it gets an IP address in the range between 192.168.10.100 and 192.168.10.200. Up until recently I've been using a combination of Squid and Squidguard to filter Internet access. This year the school's director wants to completely block Internet access for all the student's personal devices. The Linux server acts as a transparent gateway. Unfortunately with Squid I can only filter/block HTTP connections, but not HTTPS (well, I could, but this is way too complicated to setup). The firewall is managed by a simple Iptables script. Now I *think* the easiest way to block a certain IP range from Internet access would be through Iptables (correct me if I'm wrong). If this is the case, what would that look like? Any suggestions?

KVM SSL with wget
by MOKRANI Rachid 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi, I installed KVM on a CentOS 7.4 host. The guest is also installed in CentOS 7.4, the network works perfectly. Both Host and Guest machines have the same OS. I do not understand why I have an SSL error on the guest and not on the host while the two computers have the same OS installation. The firewalld, selinux, fail2ban services are not installed on host and guest. Is there an extra manipulation that I have forgotten to do? Many thanks. Below my log on Host and Guest.

JRE 8.1 for CentOS6
by Larry Martell 18 Sep '17

I have some software that says it requires JRE 8.1 or higher. If I go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133… and install jre-8u144-linux-x64.rpm I get jrel.8.0_144. Anyone know where I can get 8.1?

audio flaky
by Michael Hennebry 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

I'm running CentOS 6. The audio goes in and out a lot. With vlc, I can sometimes get the audio back by turning the audio track off and on again. I have similar issues with a/v embedded in html. Any suggestions on how to diagnose this? -- 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
