i386 packages on fresh x86_64 system
by Kai Schaetzl 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Even a minimal install with nobase installs about 40-50 i386 packages on a 64bit-System. I know this has come up before and thought it might be an FAQ, but I can't find it on the wiki. Some questions are answered here: http://www.goitworld.com/rhelcentos-x86_64-and-i386-packages-mess/ but I have these remaining: - can I tell via kickstart to just install the 64bit packages? - is it safe to rpm -e remove all i386 packages? (assuming I'm not going to install any i386 packages later) Thanks. Kai -- Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

replace x86 with x64 system and reuse existing LVM
by Kai Schaetzl 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

I want to replace an existing 32bit with a 64bit installation (Centos 5). There's an existing LVM with lots of partitions. Most are used for Xen guests. The system itself uses only one of them plus a separate /boot partition that is not on LVM. What's the best course of action here? Should I do the reinstall with kickstart or better manually and reuse the existing filesystem? As I understand once LVM gets loaded it should find the volumes by itself, but will it be able to use the same naming scheme for instance? Or do I have to do some additional stuff, anyway? Thanks, Kai

SELinux : semodule_package, magic number does not match
by Philippe Naudin 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Hello, I am trying to create a custom policy, but with no succes : $ cat <<EOF> foo.te module local 1.0; require { type httpd_sys_script_exec_t; type httpd_sys_script_t; class lnk_file read; } #============= httpd_sys_script_t ============== allow httpd_sys_script_t httpd_sys_script_exec_t:lnk_file read; EOF $ checkmodule -M -m -o foo.mod foo.te checkmodule: loading policy configuration from foo.te checkmodule: policy configuration loaded checkmodule: writing binary representation (version 6) to foo.mod $ semodule_package -o foo.pp -m foo.mod $ echo $? 0 # So far, so good. But : $ checkmodule -b foo.pp checkmodule: loading policy configuration from foo.pp libsepol.policydb_read: policydb magic number 0xf97cff8f does not match expected magic number 0xf97cff8c or 0xf97cff8d checkmodule: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration # And trying to "semodule -i foo.pp" fails completely. So here come my questions : - is there a boolean to allow httpd to execute a script "symlinked" ? (scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file) - can someone reproduce the error described above ? - any clue on how to fix it ? (For the curious one : I am fighting svn hooks on a filesystem mounted "-o noexec".) Additional infos : $ rpm -qa 'kernel*' '*selinux*' kernel-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 libselinux-1.33.4-5.5.el5 libselinux-devel-1.33.4-5.5.el5 libselinux-python-1.33.4-5.5.el5 libselinux-utils-1.33.4-5.5.el5 selinux-policy-2.4.6-279.el5_5.2 selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-279.el5_5.2 selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-279.el5_5.2 $ uname -a Linux despina 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 9 12:54:20 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks, -- Philippe

OT: Some examples about using auditd
by carlopmart 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Hi all, I need to do some tests about auditd funcionalities on two CentOS5.5 hosts. I need to audit when user executes sudo command, when system files are modified, when some process call to some system calls, when kernel semaphores are modified, etc. I see some examples on /usr/shae/doc/audit-x.x.x, but I will know if someone has more complet audit.rules. Can somebody share some samples?? Thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

[OT] As service network suggestion
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Greetings, I tried to throw this idea open in the ILUG-BOM group. some discussion took place. I was wondering if Centos can have such support network that can take care of all the "Centos support for money".discussions/decisions. Thanks for current and further indulgence. With warm regards and season's greetings, Rajagopal Mumbai, India PS: I understand Some central European and Scandinavian countries have some (Pagan or whatever) festival around 15th January hence season's greetings =============My original post below========== We see a lot of professionals and SMBs who are member of this list. I was wondering if we all can form a sort of service network of professional for various solutions using open/mixed source. Any person/organisation with skills/knowledge on FLOSS/Hweterogenous/Others can be a member. We cannot ignore the "other"/"Proprietery" completely as they are entrenched in the various verticals. Please bear with me. I have dedicated last five years of my bread and butter earning career to FLOSS solutions but have difficulty in gaining traction in the enterprises working alone. Of course there are commercials involved. Which can be discussed threadbare. Perhaps another list for that. I was having a "Single window Solutions" in mind wherein the members/prospective customers can pick and choose services they want. Modalities/details can be worked out. Soliciting opinions from the esteemed members of this list. Regards, Rajagopal

Network Scanner and CentOS 5.5
by David McGuffey 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

I have an HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One color printer. Printing works great, but I cannot get xsane to locate it on the local subnet. I've been to the sane site and looked at the backends. The HP 3210 is supported by hpio and there is a note that hpio is no longer needed because the functionality has been rolled int hplip. yum shows hplip is installed: hplip.x86_64 1.6.7-4.1.el5.4 installed Everything is on an internal nat address space. Host is at .1, Photosmart is at .251 /etc/services contains an entry for sane-port xinet.d/ has a file for sane and sane-port (both identical) iptables allows all outbound and established. I've gone through several sets of guidance found on the Intenet. Almost all is for usb or scsi. Very little guidance on sane-net. Finally found one good set of guidance and followed it to configure dll.conf, and net.conf. I've looked at sane.net man page untill I'm cross-eyed. Anyone successfully scanning from an HP Photosmart network printer? Dave M

nvidia failure with new kernel
by Michael D. Berger 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

I installed TrueCrypt and when I ran it, it informed me that I needed a new kernel. So I ran "yum update". I boot to level 3, and when I ran startx, I got: -- ... (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" FATAL: Module nvidia not found. (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages. (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) (EE) No drivers available. Fatal server error: no screens found XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. -- If I boot with the old kernel, I can successfully run startx. Thanks for your help. Mike.

can't start iscsi - and can't find answer on google
by Rudi Ahlers 17 Jan '11

Hi all, I have the strangest problem on one of our backup server. iscsi doesn't start at all, and gives the following error: [root@2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi status iscsid is stopped [root@2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi start iscsid is stopped Starting iSCSI daemon: Unable to create pid file: /var/run/brcm_iscsiuio.pid [FAILED] Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records found!

[ OK ] All other services on this machine works fine and could write their pid file, but not iscsi. Google search didn't help me much with this error either. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iSCSi but that doesn't help either.
