Re: [CentOS] IBM x3500 M3 and CentOS 7.*
by Mark (Netbook) 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

Hello, Please can anyone help with the problem below when trying to install CentOS 7.6 on an IBM x3500 M3 from DVD or USB. CentOS 7.5 installs perfectly with no errors. CentOS 7.6 tries to boot, an error is output briefly and the workstation powers down. CentOS 7.7 displays the error briefly then continues the install with no further errors. I also tried RHEL 7.6 which installs perfectly with no errors. Any ideas? Regards, Mark Woolfson MW Consultancy Ltd Leeds LS18 4LY United Kingdom Tel: +44 113 259 1204 Mob: +44 786 065 2778

Installing Maven with OpenJDK 11, without pulling OpenJDK 1.8
by Mathieu Baudier 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

Hello, I am trying to create a container image which will build Java software with Maven and Java 11 (rather focussing on CentOS 8 here). When installing 'maven' with yum, 'java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel' is installed as a dependency. If one then installs 'java-11-openjdk-devel', and use the update-alternatives command for java and javac, everything works fine and Maven uses Java 11 for the build. But I would like to avoid shipping OpenJDK 1.8 with the image, since it would uselessly double its size. An approach would be to install Maven manually, but it feels better to use the provided package. Looking at the spec file, I understand that the 'maven' package requires 'java-devel' without explicitly specifying a version. Is there some way (configuration, yum option, alternative, etc.) to make OpenJDK 11 satisfying this dependency? Could the new modules / app stream approach of CentOS 8 help here? This is of course a more general RPM / yum question, but I suspect that the Java use case is a recurring one, as many of us are currently upgrading from 1.8 to 11. Thanks in advance for hints, or telling me that there is no way to achieve this, Mathieu

Time tracking software

I am looking for suggestions for open-source time tracking software to run on CentOS. If the data can be stored in my own central database, that is a plus, as is the potential availability of some client that can run on Android. Thank you.

DHCP server failover: advise is needed
by Valeri Galtsev 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Dear Experts, I was running ISC DHCP server for longer than I would care to remember. Now I decided to climb out of the cave and configure failover set (primary-secondary), and I seem to hit brick wall, which I need help with. I only need IP v4, no v6, which may simplify things. Could someone point to a description of working DHCP failover configuration? I do not want to make two independent DHCP servers handling half of the pool each. We are not that rich as far as IP space is concerned. I am not married to ISC DHCP server, so any one I will do, because: <rant> My current configuration is something that was gradually migrated and/or adjusted through several generations of systems, and server versions over the years. It works. When I tried to incorporate what I need for failover following ISC documentation, and some people's guides, I discovered, I need more sophisticated structure of sections and subsections, which I figured out finally. But the annoying part was: in ISC documentation I failed to find general stricture of which section can appear inside which; like: a { b { c { } } } You can create each of sections/subsections following documentation, but to put them together making consistent config file you (I at least) have to figure on your own which section goes inside of which. </rant> So, I am not married to ISC DHCP server, we didn't get along now as far as my use of documentation is concerned. Anything that works - with failover! I am going to have it set up on FreeBSD, but if something works on Linux, I likely will be able to reproduce it on FreeBSD. Thanks in advance for all your answers!

sendmail on Centos 7.7
by Jerry Geis 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Hi All, I am 'trying' to set SMART_HOST in sendmail to point to smtp-relay.gmail.com but when looking at the /var/log/maillog its going to mx203.inbound-mx.net. [192.110.255.243], why??? my line from sendmail.mc define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-relay.gmail.com') I did make in /etc/mail and service sendmail restart This is the only SMART_HOST in the config file. I started with the default CentOS 7.7 sendmail.mc and have not added anything else. just changed teh SMART_HOST. Why is mail relay to mx203.inbound-mx.net ???? Nov 22 08:16:00 lsi001 sendmail[9286]: xAMDFxlA009286: to= user.someone(a)gmail.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30197, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (xAMDFxjQ009287 Message accepted for delivery) Nov 22 08:16:00 lsi001 sendmail[9289]: STARTTLS=client, relay= mx203.inbound-mx.net., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Nov 22 08:16:01 lsi001 sendmail[9289]: xAMDFxjQ009287: to=< user.someone(a)gmail.com>, ctladdr=<root(a)machine.somewhere.com> (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=120519, relay= mx203.inbound-mx.net.

I would start by looking at the .cf file to make certain that it got written out correctly. You should find lines like: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSsmtp-relay.gmail.com If that looks right, then see what happens when you do dns queries for "smtp-relay.gmail.com" on that machine.
