[OT] Witty one liners or computer related proverbs
by Peter Farrow 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Dear All, I need some witty computer related proverbs or one liners that some of have used in the past as footers for your emails for example. I particularly remember a PERL based transliteration joke/footer that when run in PERL produces a witty output.... This is to fix a problem internally created by an over zealous salesman at my company pinning up A4 sheets with bullSh*t sales proverbs on them!!! thanks Pete

Building a new ISO with a <= i586 kernel should not be hard.

It lets you setup a basic CentOS 4 system along with the server components. Anything else that is needed can then be installed via yum or up2date once the system is running. The resulting installed system is identical to a normal CentOS 4 install ( with yum and up2date ). One important thing to keep in mind - this installer uses the stock i686 kernel - therefore i586 machines are not supported ( including MiniITX, ViaC3's, AMD K6' etc ). If you need to install on such machines, you will need to get the full distro. Download it from the /centos/4/isos/i386/ directory on your local mirror or pickup the torrent. We appreciate all feedback ( via http://bugs.centos.org/ ), including RFE's and Bug notices.

I believe CentOS team released a CentOS 'Server CD', single CD for said 'minimal' installs.

Minimal installation How-to?
by Sanjay Arora 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hi all I would like to install the minimal level of Centos, with yum & selinux on my servers during the basic install from CD with Anaconda and then use yum to install whatever application is major on that server, so that yum installs its dependencies only, thus keeping to the target of installing only what is needed on a server. Please advise pros/cons of this approach and how to do it. I have never used anaconda in such a way before...please advise. With best regards. Sanjay.

SELinux on CentOS4
by James B. Byrne 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

I regret the delay in replying to this topic but I am a digest subscriber so I only see list traffic once every 24 hours. When I moved from RHES3 to CentOS4 back in April/May of this year I was bitten by the SELinux gnat as well, and the temptation to swat a distracting irritation by killing it in its bed nearly proved irresistible. However, taking to heart the advice given to me here and reading about SELinux on RedHat's web site I choose not to. Rather I discovered how to get immediate fixes to the SELinux permissions for specific programs applied to the host's local policy while seeking confirmation here and elsewhere as to whether the policy changes proposed by "audit2allow" made sense or should be adjusted. The process of reconfiguring the local policy for SELinux is in itself almost trivial, assuming that one has first installed the applicable selinux-policy-targeted-sources rpm package. One need only first establish that the problem is in fact caused by SELinux by grep'ing the system log file (/var/log/messages) for entries containing "avc" relating to the application in question. If this proves the case then first "cd /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy" and then "make reload". Then run the program that is having problems with SELinux, then run audit2allow (#audit2allow -l -i /var/log/messages)and gather the resulting policy recommendations into a text file. The -l flag limits the report to those log entries made by SELinux since the last policy reload. You can then: add them to your local policy file (/etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te); cd into /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy; and make reload as root. You may have to repeat this process several times to exhaust all of the circumstances that a packages trespasses against SELinux. You will probably find it most convenient if you keep these changes segregated by application in your local policy file. I also have found it useful to post them as a set on SELinux related mailing lists (and even this list) for comments by people more knowledgeable than I with the intent of narrowing the permissions granted the application to the minimum set required. Audit2allow often recommends wider scope than actually needed. The result is that with a few minutes work virtually any application can be enabled within SELinux without forgoing any of the other benefits that SELinux provides. Even if the application is initially granted too great an access the resulting situation is usually still preferable to turning SELinux off entirely. One can always return to the local policy file and tighten it up when one obtains the necessary information as to where this is advisable.

Evolution problem after update
by Sam Drinkard 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

List: Not positive this is an update problem, but did not have it till after a recent update. Now when sending mail to my mailserver, I get an error from Evolution as "Host lookup failed: vortex.wa4phy.net%20 :Name or service not known" I have to use the MSA port due to port 25 being blocked by isp. Any ideas about the error message? The resolver is pointed to the upstream name server, and I have made no other changes. -- Snowman
