Hi, I have two internet connections from two ISPs. I also have a desktop with two Ethernet ports. My question: What is the best way to get the maximum out of two internet connections in EL 8 for my desktop? Thanks --- Lee

Delta Chat on CentOS 7
by H 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

Has anyone compiled Delta Chat to run on CentOS 7? I know it is available as a Flatpak and as an AppImage (https://delta.chat/en/download) but I wonder if there might be benefits to compile and run natively on CentOS.

Changing command line version of php for apache
by H 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

I have updated php on a Centos 7 system to use php 7.2 from sclo. Apache running on the system is also using php 7.2 as shown by phpinfo(), however, apache continues to use the default version of php, ie 5.4.16, when that user launches a process from the command line. All other users default to php 7.2 when running from the command line which is correct. For some reason I have missed configuring apache php-cli correctly. I have googled and found many examples on how to change the configuration settings so that apache uses php 7.2 when serving web pages but in this case it is php-cli that needs to be corrected to use a later version. What should I check? What have I missed? By the way, I am not planning to remove php 5.4 from the system since it might be needed for something at a later time. Thanks.

CentOS 7, selinux and pop_port_t
by H 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

I am muddling my way through learning selinux when installing a webapp with httpd as the webserver running CentOS 7. The app allows the user to send/receive mail etc but it seems that I have yet to allow access to imap port 993. So far it seems this is configured through pop_port_t but setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1 does not include pop_port_t. In the audit log I have: type=AVC msg=audit(1613093671.415:155086): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=22431 comm="httpd" dest=993 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:pop_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0 Yet, running the below sesearch -A -s httpd_t -c tcp_socket -p name_connect -d -C tells me ET allow httpd_t pop_port_t : tcp_socket name_connect ; [ httpd_can_sendmail ] I am obviously missing something. Does anyone know how to enable access to pop_port_t?

Update - Resizing a QEMU guest display
by Bill Gee 11 Feb '21

Strahil Nikolov and I took this conversation off-line for a few days. The thread of our discussion is below. Net result: No solution is yet found. Strahil had some very good ideas, but they did not pan out in this case.

smba shares are unreachable once or twice per month
by Prengel, Ralf 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hallo, I ve a problem with my samba-server. We are using a centos 7.7 with an samba exporting samba-shares. Logins are managed by our Windows-AD. The samba server has only the function to exports hares. Windows clients are Win10 patched every month. Our problem: Once or twice a month shares aren't akctive any longer and reachable for the Window-Clients. Network can nor be a reason because the same directory exported via NFS is reachable for all Linux-NFS-Client. Normally we disconect and connect the Samba server in the AD and after a reboot the shares are working again but that cant be the solution ;-) Can anyone give me hints hwo to anaylse and solving the problem. Thanks Ralf

SCLO php70 imap missing
by H 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

I am installing php70 on a machine running CentOS 7 for a particular reason and needed sclo-php70-php-imap which I believe is the imap module for php70 from SCL. It, however, does not seem to be available even though https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=24734 suggests it should be. Am I missing something?
