firewalld - same source in different zones
by Łukasz Posadowski 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

Hi. I have a little trouble with firewalld. I'm trying to open some ports for monitoring server, but it's in the same network as "home" zone: Monitored host (192.168.111.60): lukasz @ strategie 17:52:19 ~ $ -> sudo firewall-cmd --get-active home sources: 192.168.111.0/24 (open ports 22, 80, 443) monitoring sources: 192.168.111.19 (open ports: 5666) public interfaces: ens18 (no open ports) --------------------------------------------------- Monitoring host (192.168.111.19): lukasz @ potemkin 17:57:25 ~ $ -> telnet strategie.ping.local 5666 Trying 192.168.111.60... telnet: connect to address 192.168.111.60: No route to host lukasz @ potemkin 17:57:26 ~ $ -> telnet strategie.ping.local 80 Trying 192.168.111.60... Connected to strategie.ping.local. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> Connection closed. --------------------------------------------------- I think there are conflicting rules on a monitored host, that: - prevent access to 5666 from 192.168.111.0/24, - give access to 5666 from 192.168.111.19 and packets from potemkin are routed trough a home zone. I really would like to have dedicated "monitor" zone. Is there a way to give "monitor" zone more priority, than "home"? I may end with OpenVPN on potemkin and use 172.30.25.0/24 for monitoring, but, apart from encryption aspect, it seems a little excessive. Thank You. -- Łukasz Posadowski

If I leave that USB plugged in and reboot then no "lteusb". regards, L.

Challenging times in trying to access oracle Linux documentation
by Shamim Shahriar 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

Good afternoon everyone, hope you all are well. Apologies if this is considered unwelcome -- asking oracle question in centos group -- but a lot of centos Vs oracle is going on here so hoping this will not be shot down. I am unable to access any of the oracle documentation I need, as it keeps on asking for support identifier number, which, as far as I can tell, is only available if I purchase an expensive support subscription. Even obtaining a free oracle cloud account does not give you any access. I was trying to access oracle FreeIPA setup how to documentation, and even after many emails work oracle support over several weeks -- no resolution! They are not even clear as to what I need to do to obtain access -- all they are saying is I need a SI number!!! Has anyone experienced that or is it me having the issue? If I have to pay subscription, why not continue with RHEL subscription anyway? Would appreciate if someone could please confirm. Best regards Shamim

udev rules & USB devices - ignored at boot
by lejeczek 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

Hi guys, I have an Ethernet USB adapter for which udev executes my custom rules but!... udev does it only at plug-in event and not! when the USB stays plugged in during a reboot, then same rules are ignored (or some other problem results in udev failure to do the same when device is plugged to a running system). My system is just an average box with a Ryzen on a B550 platform. Anybody sees this reproduce? many thanks, L.

Which bug tracker should I use to report things to CentOS ? (recap)
by Fabian Arrotin 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

With some moving parts within the CentOS Project, some people are now confused about where to report things, as https://bugs.centos.org isn't the only bugs/tickets tracker, so let's just have a quick recap so that people aren't confused anymore ? :) # CentOS Stream (all kind of tickets) see https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOSStream#Where_do_I_report_bugs.3F So basically https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20… # CentOS Infra, CBS, SIGs, mirror, CI, etc see previous mail : https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2020-August/055980.html # All the rest (CentOS Linux pkgs, etc) https://bugs.centos.org Hope that it helps , as we have people asking on irc the status of a ticket that was filed in wrong tracker (and so also not correct category as for example infra categories were removed/archived on https://bugs.centos.org) and not reviewed. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Filesystem choice for BackupPC extrenal drive
by Kenneth Porter 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

I'm setting up a CentOS 7 box as a BackupPC 4 server to back up Windows boxes on my LAN. I'm using an external 1.5 TB USB drive for the "pool". BackupPC deduplicates by saving all files in a pool, a directory hiearchy with each file named for the checksum of the file, and the directories acting as a hash tree to reach each pool file. A backup for a specific workstation is a directory tree of checksums and metadata that point into the pool for the actual file data. Incremental backups are reverse deltas from periodic "filled" backups of all files. I'm using rsyncd to pull changed files from the workstations. I'm deciding which filesystem to use for my external drive. I'm thinking the main candidates are ext4 and xfs. What's the best filesystem for this application? <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc> Repo for CentOS 7 users: <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/>

Intel/64 CentOS VM running on a Mac M1?
by Lists 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

My Dell Precision M3800 running Fedora works great but is really starting to show its age, and I'm thinking about getting a new Mac M1-based laptop as it would really be useful for Video production. But I really need to have a IA64 CentOS 7/8 VMs running locally for development as I'm often on the road and flaky Internet makes it a necessity to keep productivity up. I've been unable to officially confirm that VMWare/ Parallels/VirtualBox intend to support IA64 based OS's and it *needs* to be an exact (VM) copy of production so I can trial environments and builds prior to roll out. Calling around, I actually got ahold of a sales staff at Parallels who assured me (in broken India-accent English) that "of course all OS will supported when the trial complete" but given that I wasn't sure that he really understood my question I remain uncertain. Anybody here have any more information than I do?

RHEL <==> CentOS <==> Oracle Linux migration scripts
by Nicolas Kovacs 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi, I've recently done some extensive testing with the centos2ol.sh migration script provided by Oracle: https://github.com/oracle/centos2ol The script works perfectly on both CentOS 7.x and 8.x, so I wrote a little blog article about it: https://blog.microlinux.fr/migration-centos-oracle-linux-cas-pratique/ I wonder if something similar exists for other use cases, e. g. migrate from CentOS to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Why I'd like to do this? Well, a significant part of my work is teaching Linux and writing books about it. My last two books have been based on CentOS 7.x, and I'd like future editions to be distribution-agnostic within the RHEL family. This is now an option since Red Hat offered free Developer subscriptions a few days ago. In other words, future blog articles and book chapters will be based on RHEL (the real thing), but I'll also test everything with the various clones, namely Oracle Linux and (probably) Rocky Linux as soon as there's a usable version. Public server providers like Scaleway offer the "usual suspects" among distributions, e. g. Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and FreeBSD. So I'd like to know if there's a script out there that converts an existing CentOS (or Oracle Linux) installation into a RHEL system. Any suggestions ?
