openl2tp.org compared to openvpn
by Gregory P. Ennis 18 Sep '18

18 Sep '18

Everyone, I am needing to set up a secure channel with another office in order to pass some dicom files back and forth. The remote office is microsoft shop. I have initially looked at openvpn, but the microsoft shop has requested that we use openl2tp in that they already have this running. Since openl2tp is not part of the centos repositories, does anyone have good or bad experiences with this. Thanks -- Greg Ennis

Firefox Issue
by Chris Olson 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

We have several small networks, some of which have only four systems that are usually a mix of Windows 7 and CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 machines. All of these systems are Internet connected and updated regularly when yum finds packages available. Information about one of the CentOS 6 machines is included below. This system experienced a Firefox issue. [user@computer]$ uname -a Linux computer 2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 14 20:46:41 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [user@computer]$ Several weeks ago, one of the Firefox updates did something unusual. It changed the browser-stored home page to https://www.centos.org/ from the original home page file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html. This original home page had been in place since 2014, and had survived all Firefox updates for a little over four years. Last week, someone left one browser running and the system went into power save mode. To wake the system up we used the standard method of a quick push of the power button on the front of the Dell tower system. Although the system seemed to be running, the monitor and mouse never came to life. We also could not ssh into the system from any other computer on the network. We decided to use a steady push on the power button to shut the system down. After powering up again, the system seemed to run normally, but the browser home page was back to file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html. Has anyone else experienced such an issue with Firefox recently?

Very weird problem with handling symbolic links
by Nicolas Kovacs 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Hi everyone, I just discovered something very weird on a vanilla CentOS 7 installation. If I create a link to /tmp as a normal user, it looks like I can't remove this link anymore. Here's what this looks like: $ mkdir test_link $ cd test_link/ $ ln -s /tmp/ link_to_tmp $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 kikinovak kikinovak 5 Sep 17 10:56 link_to_tmp -> /tmp/ $ rm link_to_tmp/ rm: cannot remove ‘link_to_tmp/’: Is a directory $ rmdir link_to_tmp/ rmdir: failed to remove ‘link_to_tmp/’: Not a directory I tried the same thing on a different box, running Slackware 14.2, and I can remove my symbolic link without any hassle. I sense something is very wrong here. Any suggestions?

ipset-service save fails when module compiled into kernel
by Kenneth Porter 15 Sep '18

15 Sep '18

I want to use the ipset-service to store ipsets persistently across boots. (For use by iptables rules. firewalld has direct support for persistent ipsets but I need the more general capability of raw iptables.) I'm using a kernel with ipsets compiled in, rather than loaded as a module. The support script that saves ipsets checks if the module is loaded before saving and finds nothing, so aborts. Why does it need to make this check? Should this package be able to handle a custom kernel with compiled-in modules? (I'm actually running CentOS 7 on a Linode VM with the default Linode kernel. Their kernel has modules compiled in and listed in /proc/config.gz.) For reference, here's the latest Rawhide package containing the ipset.start-stop script that's used to save ipsets persistently. <https://fedora.pkgs.org/rawhide/fedora-x86_64/ipset-service-6.38-1.fc29.noa…>

CentOS 6: meson/ninja in python36 requires python27
by wwp 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Hello there, on a CentOS 6 box, in the need for `meson`, I've installed rh-python36 using yum, then meson and ninja using `pip3.6 install meson ninja`. Later at run-time, while building atk 2.29.1: $ meson --prefix /opt/atk _build $ ninja-build -C _build FAILED: atk/atkmarshal.c /opt/gimp-2.8/bin/glib-genmarshal --prefix atk_marshal --output atk/atkmarshal.c --body ../atk/atkmarshal.list --include-header atkmarshal.h /opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. Adding /opt/rh/python27/usr/lib64 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH works around this problem, but I wonder if there isn't a dependency issue, or did I do something wrong? Regards, -- wwp

postgresql Service Blind
by Bee.Lists 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Hi folks. postgresql fresh install, roles, users, databases, all done. I can log in after I SSH to the box. I entered my user (myself) in pg_hba.conf: host all rich 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.255 md5 When I nmap the CentOS box, I can’t see that port open. I’ve turned off SELinux, so I’m not sure why I can’t see the open port 5432. What am I missing? It has to be something I’ve overlooked. - SELinux off - firewall poked holes port 5432 - service running Cheers, Bee

The sensible answer is that you need to find out if anything has tried to add different certificate files (and why) and work around that to work out what the best thing to do is. Use the 'rpm' command to find out what provides that files that have a .rpmnew suffix: rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt It should come up with just one package - the ca-certificates-2018 package. If it returns multiple packages, then something else is causing confusion. P.
