Trying to print...
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Well... we've got this poster printer. Been printing for years. There was an, um, incident at work, and long story short, the .ppd that I had had to create was lost. I've pretty much recreated it, and cupstestppd only gives a few warnings... but: I've got it set up in cups on my C 6 server, to go to the JetDirect socket, but I try to print, and it tries to send the file, and the next thing I know, cups says the printer's paused, and in messages I've got a "broken pipe" line. The printer does its internal cleanings and self-tests fine, and I can telnet to the printer. Any thoughts? mark

installing perl-CPAN without perl-local-lib
by Gary Stainburn 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

I'm still working on getting my brand new Centos 7 mail server working and I'm having problems with Perl. Most of the modules are available as RPM's which was straight forward. However, MIME::Parser, Net::SCP and Net::SSH aren't. In order to get these working I installed the perl-CPAN rpm and then installed the modules above. Doing this, installed perl-local-lib.noarch as a dependancy. The problem now is that when I used CPAN to the above modules they installed without errors, but were only available to the root user. I can't uninstall perl-local-lib without uninstalling perl-CPAN and I can't install perl-CPAN without installing perl-local-lib. Any ideas on how I can get to do the simple task of installing these modules system wide?

CentOS 7.5 gui login root only
by isdtor 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

Taking first steps on CentOS 7 1804. Logging into the Gnome/Gnome classic desktop from gdm works only for root. For other users, the screen flashes and the login screen returns. KDE/Plasma login is successful but ends up with a black screen with mouse pointer while all desktop processes appear to be running. The CentOS 7 system is running in a CentOS6 KVM virtual machine, which may be the problem. I have no physical machine for testing right now. These logins work for non-root users when the system is built from the CentOS 7 DVD. The non-working installation stems from a kickstart install which essentially includes a much larger number of packages, some 6k vs. 2.5k from DVD install). Maybe there are conflicts, but I have not been able to isolate anything.

Questions about yum-cron
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

Hi, Up until now I always kept my servers up-to-date manually. Currently I'm experimenting with yum-cron to automate this process. I read through various online tutorials, and now I have a couple questions. 1. As far as I know, when editing /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf, I can only use the following value for update_cmd : update_cmd = default If I understand this correctly, 'update_cmd = security' would have no effect, since contrary to RHEL, CentOS doesn't provide the necessary metadata to operate the distinction between security updates and other updates like mere bugfixes. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 2. It looks like editing /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf affects a *daily* operation of yum-cron, whereas editing /etc/yum/yum-cron- hourly.conf provides hourly operations. The documentation is not very clear about this, and I'm a little confused here. In other words, yum-cron.conf affects /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron, and yum-cron-hourly.conf affects /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron. I only really need yum-cron to run once a day, which would be sufficient. That being said, I can't figure out at what time it launches. All my users are in France, so ideally the daily yum-cron should be launched somewhere between 04:00 and 05:00 AM, since updating a package like httpd would restart the corresponding processes and kick online users out. I can't seem to figure out a way to define the exact time at which the daily yum-cron is being launched, since this doesn't seem to be controlled by standard crontab. Any suggestions ?

Package security scanner for CentOS docker containers
by Traiano Welcome 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

Hi List, I’m looking for a command line package security scanner for CentOS docker containers. Is there any utility out there for checking alpine packages in an alpine docker container against the cve database? Tools similar to debsecan would be ideal (https://github.com/allthings/ debsecan), i.e a tool that can be launched from the host machine, will connect to a container on the host, or start up a docker image on the hosts, scan the packages and report CVEs relevant to each package. Thanks in advance, Traiano

Password recovery trick not working on CentOS
by Nicolas Kovacs 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi, I remember back in the days, there was a neat trick to recover a lost root password, or more exactly, redefine a new password for root. 1. In the bootloader, boot the system with the 'init=/bin/bash' kernel argument. 2. Remount the root partition in read-write mode: # mount -o remount,rw / 3. Set the password for root: # passwd 4. Remount the root partition in read-only mode: # mount -o remount,ro / 5. Switch off the computer. I tried this out of curiosity on a CentOS 7 sandbox machine, and this doesn't seem to work anymore. I can boot to a 'bash' console and set the password OK. But this password doesn't seem to work on the subsequent normal boot. Anybody knows why this is so?

move LDAP service to new server
by Gary Stainburn 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

On my old Centos 7 server I had set up a LDAP database for user authentication by other services (the server locally uses normal PAM authenticatin). I set it up originally from a web page describing how to set up an LDAP server for use with MS Outlook clients (which never worked) Is there any (easy to follow) instructions anywhere to tell me how to back up this service and restore it onto a new one?
