Re: [CentOS] Passing password to script for rpmsign of list of .rpm files

Anyhow, I have developed nice script for automatic signing of (--addsign = only unsigned, --resign = all) rpm's. Features: 1) It supports subdirectories of unlimited? depth. 2) Password is only asked once. 3) Timestamps are preserved. 4) Script outputs check of rpm's together with active GPG Key ID and time of signing. Useful for final check and logging. I hope this script will find good use for rpm packagers. I named the script "rpm-autosign". NOTICE: I forgot to filter only files so I had to change code. Improved is: Code: #!/bin/bash # Author Ljubomir Ljubojevic <office at plnet dot rs> for i in $(find . -type f | grep .rpm); do touch -r "$i" "$i.zzz" done #rpmsign --resign `find . | grep .rpm | grep -v .zzz` rpmsign --addsign `find . -type f | grep .rpm | grep -v .zzz` for i in $(find . -type f | grep .rpm | grep -v .zzz); do touch -r "$i.zzz" "$i" done for i in $(find . -type f | grep .zzz); do rm -f "$i" done #rpmsign --checksig `find . | grep .rpm` rpm -qp `find . -type f | grep .rpm` --qf='%-{NAME} %{BUILDHOST} %{PACKAGER} %{SIGGPG:pgpsig} \n' Notice that last line is broken in two by mail client.

Hi, Please advice me about the below reported vulnerability. High OpenSSH X Connections Session Hijacking Vulnerability Risk: High Application: ssh Port: 22 Protocol: tcp ScriptID: 100584 Overview: OpenSSH is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to hijack forwarded X connections. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker run arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the user running the affected application. This issue affects OpenSSH 4.3p2; other versions may also be affected. NOTE: This issue affects the portable version of OpenSSH and may not affect OpenSSH running on OpenBSD. Solution: Updates are available. Please see the references for more information.

Hi all. I'd like to put together a small repo for Centos packages that I build on my machine, and make them available for other Centos users. Are there any guidlines for creating an officially endorsed Centos 3rd party repo please?

OT: SQuirreL and NGS SQuirrel
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 20 May '11

20 May '11

The IRT gave a class yesterday, and mentioned about auditors coming in with squirrel to security test d/bs. I was doing some research on this, and found (and I'm being correct with my capitalization) the subject line here, the F/OSS project off sourceforge SQuirrel, which is a cross-platform java client for d/bs, and a company, NGS, which has NGS SQuirreL for Oracle, DB/2, etc. What I can't find is any suggestion whether the latter is built on the former, if there's any relation at all, and if not, whether there's a copyright issue here.... Anyone know about them? mark

Hi everybody. I just looked for web edition on centos mailing list to check if I stopped receiving e-mails from centos ml. This is just confirmation mail that everything is OK with your e-mail account and centos ml account. P.S. I am not complaining :-D , I was just pleasantly surprised. Ljubomir

I had to complete a new VM Host machine before CentOS-6 was ready, so I used SL-6 as the underpinnings. It simply worked, once I ironed out a couple of unrelated hardware issues. It auto-updates and lets me know when that's been done, but it doesn't reboot unless I want to, so there's little risk in allowing the updates. Auto-update can be disabled if you prefer. So far it has been flawless. It's managing two very large software RAID-6 arrays and 7 Guest VMs on a dual-Xeon Supermicro motherboard. All of the VM Guest OS's are CentOS-5.6 which works well for my applications. I may or may not upgrade the Guests to C6, depending on need. CentOS has been so reliable that I'm reluctant to move to a different platform. I've used Ubuntu Server and it works well, but I'm more familiar with the RHEL way of doing things so I'll stick with CentOS. One thing I don't know much about is an in-place upgrade of C5 to C6. There are some under-the-hood differences that must be taken into account, which I haven't looked into. YMMV, Chuck
