Centos7- WiFi not recognized - HWaddress - Or Any Idea
by Cristian Danciu 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hello, I recently installed centos7+Gnome on my macbook air , at first start the wireless adaptor , which is the (infamous?) BCMA4360 , seemed to work because I was asked to choose the network and provided password, but thereafter wifi did not appear, so I can connect to the Internet only by cable. Googling a few days and checking on my computer I found the following:- the infamous wifi adapter BCM4360 appears on lshw list- the driver for wifi adapter appears on lsmod list as BCMA, and I also find the driver, bcm-pci-bridge in sys/bus/drivers- i didn't find any file in /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts where the device is bcma wifi adapter, or any wifi. My idea to workaround this is: to create a file in /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts/, in wich i inteded to pass the HWadress of the device(BCMA4360), but I wasn't able to find a way to get this address.If somebody can help me to find a way to get this HWaddr would be very appreciated.Or any ideas to get wifi on my fancy macbook air with centos and no macos at all, because at installation somehow i accomplished the performance to format the entire disk.I also mention that I am not an IT guy, but I want to learn a lot about the linux centos, but first things first : I need wifi. Regards, Cristian

OT: good free email service ?
by Valeri Galtsev 02 Dec '18

Dear All, I know it is an oxymoron: good free ... service ;-) Still, can someone recommend good free email service? I definitely will not go with google, Microsoft, Apple. I don't have same strong feeling about yahoo as I have about above, but... Anyway, thanks in advance for all your advises.

In centos, how to switch to default gcc after switched to a higher version of gcc with devtoolset.
by yf chu 01 Dec '18

01 Dec '18

I want to install several gcc with different versions in centos. The default version of gcc in centos6 is 4.9.3. So I use devtoolset install a higher version of gcc. Then I switch to the higher version of gcc by executing "source /opt/rh/devtoolset-5/enable". But now if I want to switch back to the default gcc, how should I do? By the way, is there any solution to install multiple gcc with different versions in centos 5?

Php script not running
by Jerry Geis 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Hi All, I have centos 7. Apache and php are installed. CGI runs fine - php does not seem to run. I have the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file php.conf # # Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension. # <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> # # Allow php to handle Multiviews # AddType text/html .php # # Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory # indexes. # DirectoryIndex index.php # # Uncomment the following lines to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps # files as PHP source code: # #<FilesMatch \.phps$> # SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source #</FilesMatch> # # Apache specific PHP configuration options # those can be override in each configured vhost # php_value session.save_handler "files" php_value session.save_path "/var/lib/php/session" I have: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .php The result is 500 internal server error. everything seems like its setup - I have restarted httpd. These are the PHP that are loaded: rpm -qa | grep php php-common-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 php-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 php-fpm-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 php-cli-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 I do not see any reason in any of the httpd/log files just the 500 internal server error returned. If I do the file with the PHP info line <?php phpinfo(); ?> this displays correctly, but my other script does not run. I have checked the permissions on the script and it is executable and owned by the same user my CGI programs are owned that work. What might I be missing? Jerry

We've got a whole day of content for you, covering technical topics, information about RHEL 8 (and what's coming in CentOS), and updates from our Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Registration is free, but we do need you to register, so that we can adequately plan. We'll see you in Brussels! If you're not going to be at FOSDEM, but are interested in hosting a Dojo in your home town, get in touch with us on the centos-promo mailing list - https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-promo - with your proposal. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

[OT] Where to buy S/MIME ??
by Alice Wonder 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

Hi, I'm getting increasingly paranoid. Something I said on a certain social media site several months ago was modified - then reported - then by account was banned until I agreed to delete it. Obviously since what I said was modified I didn't have any issue with deleting it but I want more than just DKIM sigs on my e-mail now. Anyway looking for S/MIME I can use to sign and/or encrypt but mostly sign. Not interested in GnuPG or self-signed S/MIME - I want something that can be trusted because someone else that is trusted actually vouched for me. The "free for personal" S/MIME from Comodo didn't work. Browser said it did but there was nothing to export for me to then import. I suspect it is because I used private browser window, I really don't like the idea of a private key stored in browser anyway. And it never asked for a password to encrypt the private key, nor let me specify key strength (only let me choose between medium and high - I assume high is 4096 but I don't know, it didn't say) Didn't like the "browser generated" process, even if it had worked and generated the final product I could export - I really didn't like the process and have serious questions about the wisdom of a private key without a pass phrase stored in an application that interacts with web sites. Anyway so used openssl to create private key (with aes-256 encryption and pass phrase) and then a CSR. But I can't find anyone who sells certs for S/MIME to send the CSR too. Globalsign but they wanted $89 - no one else. Found a few sites that offered to "send me a quote" that I think were intended for corporate accounts. Where do regular users who just want an inexpensive certificate usable for S/MIME from a CSR generated the traditional way go to buy a cert? -=- Off Topic 2 I'm going to strangle whoever it is at Google that thinks it is a good idea to put so many video results at the top of search results for this kind of thing. I'm really getting sick of how highly ranked videos now are in search engines.

Tools/mechanisms for the management of access permissions in big filebased datasets
by Frank Thommen 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Hello, we are currently managing access permissions through classical user-group-others permissions on a multi-petabyte directory tree with partially very deep and broad directories. Projects are represented by directory trees and mapped through GIDs. Lately we had lots of "singular" permission request (one single user needs access to a single dataset but should not be able to see all other datasets belonging to the same project). We realized, that the UGO model doesn't scale and is becoming more and more unmanageable. Can you recommend tools/mechanisms/technologies to overcome the drawbacks of the UGO model? We are thinking about some purely ACL based mechanism (but are open to other ideas). All filesystems in question are mounted via NFSv4 and the clients are (almost) completely CentOS 7.x hsots. Ideally the tool would have some web UI and some kind of (REST)API which allows us to modify permissions from our inhouse data management application (which does /not/ manage permissions, just the structure of the data). Additionally it should be able to visualize/report permissions in directory. I wasn't very successful in googling possible candidates, hence the question to the list. Cheers frank

CentOS 7 package not present in Red Hat EL 7 - qt-assistant
by Toralf Lund 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

I'm using CentOS 7 for development of software that is sometimes used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. I conjunction with an update of one of the applications, I asked some Red Hat users to install the Qt 4 Assistant application via the qt-assistant package (which is used by a "help" function in our software.) It seemed like there was no such package in the Red Hat package set, however, and I also see no mention of it in "package manifests" like https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht…. Yet I can install the package from the "base" repository on my CentOS machine. Questions: Isn't CentOS base supposed to contain exactly the same packages as Red Hat Enterprise, except in some special cases that relate to distribution information, installation sources etc.? Does anyone know what's going on with the specific package I mention above? - Toralf
