Just FYI I guess, you could also run your own CA and sign stuff yourself. After all, your RPMs are also self-signed ;-)

KVM Setup for Win7 Pro on CentOS 5.x
by Bill Campbell 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Can somebody point me to a HowTO or other documentation describing the tools available under the CentOS 5 KVM package to create and manage a Windows 7 Pro VM? All my VM experience to date has been the old free VMware Server. I need to: + Create the VM instance allowing for about 50GB total disk space which will be either a single image partitioned into two Windows 'Drives' for the OS and applications/data, or two images. + Install Windows 7 from an OEM System Builder Pack, either using the CD/DVD drive on the Linux server or from an image created with 'dd' from the Win7 media. + Set up network bridging on the private LAN so that the Windows system is accessible via OpenVPN connections from the outside world and by users on the LAN to run a client/server accounting application.

proftp drives me crazy ....
by Götz Reinicke 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi, I installed proftpd from Centos repository to my Centos 6.3 server. Iptables and selinux are off; I do have one unix user which can ssh and login to the server. I do use the default config and cant login to the ftp server (home directory of that user is all I want) :/ I use filezilla and Mac OS X native ftp access, both fails with incorrect login (530) WTF can be wrong? Or what may I have to change? Thanks for any hints and suggestions! Regards .

Debugging/optimizing LAN/Fileserver Performance
by Götz Reinicke 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi, I do have one fileserver, which is compared to other systems slow when transferring file through the lan. The test I did get a transfer speed of about 70 - 80 MB/s. I copy files by rsync or scp from a SSD disk to the servers ISCSI Storage and I tested to copy to a serverside RAM disk. I copy one big file of about 2/10 GB; 2 is to the RAM disk. The point is, the mentioned one server just get rates off 35+- MB :/ To DAS HW Raid and RAM disk. And I don't have any clue, why it is so slow .... All servers and clients are connected to gbit full duplex cisco switche ports, which are configured the same. The servers ar centos 6.3. Filesystems ext4 with default settings. I checked cables and logfiles but don't get any errors/warnings to. The difference is: The concerned server has a 'small' CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3040 @ 1.86GHz Dual Core. My question: What can affect the network speed? What parameters can I check? Thanks for any suggestion or hints! Best Regards .

Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill Init!
by Joseph Koenig 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Just installed CentOS 6.3 from a minimal install disc. All was well, so I ran a yum update, as well as installed some additional packages (mysql, httpd, libjpeg, libpng, and more that I don't remember off the top of my head). Went to reboot the machine and now it won't book up. As it starts to boot, says: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-279.5.1.el6.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814fd24a>] ? panic+0xa0/0x168 [<ffffffff81070bd2>] ? do_exit+0x862/0x870 [<ffffffff8117cba5>] ? fput+0x25/0x30 [<ffffffff81070c38>] ? do_group_exit+0x58/0xd0 [<ffffffff81070cc7>] ? sys_exit_group+0x17/0x20 [<ffffffff8100b0f2>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Also, tried selecting the previous kernel at boot, but got the same message, except with 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 referenced.

Sendmail Masquerade
by Ken Smith 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi All, I'm usually quite good with sendmail on Centos 5.8 but I must have missed something here. I've not done this before but, I want to set sendmail so that its outgoing mail appears to come from the domain of the network it lives on. Its real hostname is server2.domain.co.uk ( the domain bit is substituted for this post) and I want it to send as domain.co.uk, that is really valid, but the specific host server2.domain.co.uk does not have an A record and other mailservers reject its outgoing mail because server2.domain.co.uk does not resolve. But with these settings in sendmail.mc it still sends as server2.domain.co.uk if I simply type "mail -s test kens(a)kensnet.org" into bash. MASQUERADE_AS(`domain.co.uk')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain.co.uk)dnl (Yes I have done the m4 bit and restarted sendmail) If I telnet to sendmail on port 25 and manually send as username(a)domain.co.uk it has the right "from" address. So what have I missed? Thanks Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

6.3 missing updates and packages
by Leonard den Ottolander 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi, The fact that apparently the last tigervnc update from upstream was missed triggered me to check for missing updates and packages in 6.3. Here are my results. Sorry for any false positives that might have crept in, but note that some of the 6_x updates actually are updates and not a parsing error. And perhaps an occasional false positive due to having to compare upstream SRPMS vs downstream RPMS. CentOS: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6 RHEL63: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1 Yes, this is an update, despite the 6_1 confusion. Unless dmidecode-2.11-2.el6.src.rpm == dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1.src.rpm. CentOS: espeak-1.40.02-3.1.el6 RHEL63: espeak-1.40.02-4.el6 CentOS: gawk-3.1.7-9.el6 RHEL63: gawk-3.1.7-10.el6 CentOS: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6 RHEL63: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2 Yes this is an update, despite the 6_2 confusion. Unless gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6.src.rpm == gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2.src.rpm. CentOS: gvfs-1.4.3-12.el6 RHEL63: gvfs-1.4.3-15.el6 CentOS: iok-1.3.13-2.el6 RHEL63: iok-1.3.13-3.el6 CentOS: irssi-0.8.15-3.el6 RHEL63: irssi-0.8.15-5.el6 CentOS: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.45.1.11.1.el6 RHEL63: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 CentOS: logrotate-3.7.8-15.el6 RHEL63: logrotate-3.7.8-16.el6 CentOS: pm-utils-1.2.5-9.el6 RHEL63: pm-utils-1.2.5-10.el6 CentOS: python-rhsm-0.96.15-1.el6 RHEL63: python-rhsm-0.99.12-1.el6 CentOS: vios-proxy-0.1-1.el6 RHEL63: vios-proxy-0.2-1.el6 tigervnc-1.0.90-0.15.20110314svn4359.el6_1.1.src.rpm is missing from my scripts output but an update, so I guess I'll have to fix my script too ;) Missing packages: be2net-4.0.160r-3.el6_1 bnx2-2.2.1.32.269-1.el6_2 bnx2fc-1.0.10.32.269-1.el6_2 bnx2i-2.7.2.1.32.269-1.el6_2 bnx2x-1.72.00_0.32.269-1.el6_2 cdrkit-1.1.9-11.el6 clustermon-0.16.2-18.el6 cnic-2.5.10.32.269-1.el6_2 compat-gcc-295-2.95.3-86.el6 compat-gcc-296-2.96-144.el6 compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-69.el6 ding-libs-0.1.2-9.el6 hpwdt-1.2.0-2.el6_0 hunspell-no-2.0.10-5.1.el6 igb-3.0.6_k-2.el6_1 iprutils-2.3.9-2.el6 ixgbe-3.4.8_k-3.el6_1 kdebindings-4.3.4-5.el6 Perhaps superceded? libehca-1.2.2-3.el6 libica-2.1.0-2.el6 librtas-1.3.4-2.el6 libservicelog-1.1.9-6.el6 lsvpd-1.6.10-5.el6 mlx4_core-1.1.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind mlx4_en-2.0.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind mlx4_ib-1.0.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind mpitests-3.2-5.el6 Actually available as mpitests-subs, but behind C6 @ 3.2-4.el6 openssl-ibmca-1.2.0-2.el6_2.1 ovirt-node-1.9.3-28.1.el6 powerpc-utils-1.2.10-2.el6 Not included because CentOS does not support power? ppc64-diag-2.4.2-10.el6 Not included because CentOS does not support power? ppc64-utils-0.14-10.el6 Not included because CentOS does not support power? report-0.18-9.el6 s390utils-1.8.2-48.el6 servicelog-1.1.7-3.el6 RHN related? snd_core-1.0.21.6.3.0-1.el6_2 snd_hda-1.0.21.6.3.0-1.el6_2 snd-hda-1.0-1.el6_0 Package apparently renamed and split, neither snd-hda, snd_core nore snd_hda available tg3-3.122-2.el6_2 virt-who-0.6-6.el6 xorg-x11-drv-geode-2.11.12-1.el6 xorg-x11-drv-neomagic-1.2.5-1.el6 yaboot-1.3.14-39.el6 zaf-0-0.3.20080714svn.1.el6 And a few more hits that I need to check, possible RPMS that do not produce packages with their own name but only with extensions, f.e. libassuan that only produces libassuan-devel.

CentOS 6 vs. other RHEL clones: security advisory comparison
by Janne Snabb 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello, I made some statistics and comparisons about security advisories published by three popular RHEL 6 clones: CentOS 6, Oracle Linux 6 and Scientific Linux 6. The article is available at the following URL: http://bitrate.epipe.com/rhel-vs-centos-scientific-oracle-linux-6_187 I hope you find it interesting. Looks like CentOS has been doing quite well this year in this regard. Feedback is welcome, but please post it at the bottom of the article or to myself in private. Do *not* send it to this mailing list unless your message is specifically about CentOS. Please do not start a flame war on this mailing list. In case the graphs are not visible in your browser, you should start using a browser which supports current technologies (specifically: SVG graphics).
