cups / cli stopped print jobs problem
by Blackburn, Marvin 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

On occasion, we get a printer that becomes disabled, and jobs begin to queue up. When the issue is resolved, we re-enable the printer and usually all the jobs print out. However, sometimes the first job never prints, but the others do. The cups interface shows the job is stopped. IfI restart the job in the cups interface, it prints. Is there a way to determine, via the command line, if a print job is in the stopped state, or a queue has jobs in this state. Also, is there a way to restart the job if its stopped. We are running centos 5.3 and cups 1.3.7. Any help would be appreciated. _____________________________________ "He's no failure. He's not dead yet." William Lloyd George

Linux Zombie Web Servers
by Johnny Hughes 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Linked below are details about a new outbreak of hijacked linux web servers that dispense malware. http://blog.unmaskparasites.com/2009/09/11/dynamic-dns-and-botnet-of-zombie… I would highly recommend that you use nmap to scan all your Linux webservers that are connected to the Internet to see if they are listening on port 8080. The best I can tell, there are no articles concerning how these guys installed nginx or what is contained on a machine that has been compromised. But the best way to tell is to see if you are listening on port 8080 (if you are not supposed to be listening there). 8080 is a common port for java apps to be running on, so listening on 8080 is not always necessarily bad. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

yum issue with extras repo?
by Dave Stevens 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hello All, As you can see below I am having a problem checking for updates. This happens repeatedly. I have to kill the process then rerun. I have tried "yum clean all" but no joy - the process hangs again on "extras" - see second listing below. Suggestions?

Supermicro Adaptec AIC-9410 HostRAID controller
by Kurt Newman 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 1) Has anyone been able to get their AIC-9410 controller recognized in CentOS 5.3? I'm working with a Supermicro X7DBR-3 motherboard. It has 2 "ICH Raid Codebase" options in the Bios (Intel and Adaptec); neither of which seem to change Linux's behavior. The interesting part though, choosing either Adaptec or Intel, then performing an 'lspci' always displays "Intel Corp 631xESP/632xESP SATA RAID Controller (rev 09)". I've seen several people post on a variety of mailing lists (typically using older CentOS revisions), but it doesn't appear many were successful. It seems most swap to software raid. 2) When using this internal host raid controller, shouldn't the raided devices appear as a single device like other traditional scsi controllers? Regardless of the raid options I choose, Linux still continues to see both drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). Is this a function of being 'HostRAID'? 3) If you've been able to get it to work, which driver did you use? Thus far, I've tried 2 drivers. 1st driver: adpahci -- Unsuccessful I downloaded it from supermicro's website. ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/Adaptec_ESB2/Linux/Redhat/adpahci.rhel5.i686… After successfully loading the image and inserting the module using kickstart, nothing useful happens, other than several /sys entries added. (NOTE: I had to change the internal cpio archive pathing from `2.6.18-8.el5' to `2.6.18-128.el5'). 2nd driver: aic94xx -- Unsuccessful The driver is built-in via a patch to the Redhat stock kernel. Other than saying that it's loaded, it also does nothing useful outside of /sys entries. Several mailing lists and documents pointed to using the 'attach_HostRAID' option, however, it doesn't exist. Using this option with `insmod' (or modprobe) fails. 3rd driver: adp94xx -- In the works I downloaded this driver from Adaptec's website: http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/speed/sas/linux/adp94xx-1_0_8-12_src_tgz.htm So far, I'm not able to get it to compile because I'm trying to create a patch file so that it incorporates all of the contents of the tarball. Any ideas on where to go from here? I'd really like to avoid software raid.

SELinux Relabeling
by Jorge Fábregas 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hello everyone, If create a folder called "whatever" under /var, the context is: root:object_r:var_t /var/whatever/ That's expected as it is under /var. If I then change its type: chcont -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever The context looks like: root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever/ My question is...Shouldn't a relabeling of the filesystem change the type of this directory back to var_t? I just performed a relabel (/.autorelabel) and the directory stayed with httpd_sys_content_t. I thought that the only way this could happen was if I used "semanage fcontext -a ...." so that a new line would be appended in: /etc/selinux//etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local. Not only that, If I perform "matchpathcon /var/whatever" I still get var_t as its default type. Then again, why it kept the httpd_sys_content_t after the relabel? Thansk in advance, Jorge

Nothing I have done so far seems to work # cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user=mysql # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 max_allowed_packet=2MB [mysqld_safe] log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid log-query=/var/log/mysql-query.log empty and then I added to /etc/init.d/mysqld get_mysql_option mysqld_safe log "/var/log/mysqld-query.log" querylogfile="$result" -and- start(){ touch "$querylogfile" chown mysql:mysql "$querylogfile" chmod 0640 "$querylogfile" but nothing is logged. Can someone toss me a bone here? Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
