Problem with SNMP rpm
by Lucas Dutra 19 Aug '17

19 Aug '17

Hello everyone, Im trying to configure SNMP to use Kerberos authentication, but im having some trouble. The standard package of snmp dont have the kerberos module included, then i needed to create a new package. So i found the last centos snmp source rpm, version "net-snmp-5.7.2-24.el7_3.2.x86_64", and modified the .spec file to generate a new rpm with the kerberos module. But in the middle of compilation process, this happens: *checking for security modules to use... ksm usm* *checking for krb5-config... /bin/krb5-config* *checking for krb5... checking for krb5_init_context in -lkrb5... yes* *yes* *checking for heimdal... no* *checking to see which crypto API we need to use... checking for krb5_c_encrypt... yes* *(cached) old MIT crypto API* This "old MIT crypto API" dont happen if i use the same configuration with the standard snmp tar.gz And that is the problem, i need to receive "new MIT crypto API" to work. I have the Kerberos properly installed and running. Sorry if this looks confusing, but what im trying to say is that i guess this rpm is broken and need update. I used the same configuration with the rpm and the tar.gz . The tar.gz worked and the rpm didn't. This problem is for the ksm module, not the entire rpm is broken. Someone know who i cant contact to warn about this? Or if there is a new version out there. I searched for a new version but i didn't find anything. I used the 5.7.2 rpm and 5.7.3 tar.gz Thanks for the attention. Lucas.

CentOS 7 and Majordomo
by tslbai 19 Aug '17

19 Aug '17

Hi, i was running the latest ;-) Version of Majordomo (1.94.5) successful on CentOS 6.5 for years. Since i installed CentOS 7, majordomo isn't working any more (sendmail error). Is there anyone, who is running majordomo on CentOS 7 or has any hint? I know that Majordomo ist very old and greatcircle isn't supporting ist since years and the majordomo-Mailing-list ended 2003. I know about Mailman too, but i'd like to use majordomo as a small and tiny solution for a particular usecase. Thanks for any hint about running majordomo on CentOS 7. Bye, Florian

rsyslog stops logging on service reload?
by John Jasen 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

I have multiple servers running stock CentOS 7 rsyslog 7.4.7-16.el7, which are configured to log locally and over TCP to a remote logserver, also running stock CentOS 7 rsyslog. The remote server uses imptcp to receive, and pretty basic rules to parse and commit to disk. I have several systems that log prolifically, but periodically, they stop soon after the remote log server HUPs (daily logrotate). Very soon after they stop logging (completely, even to local files), the services on these systems block, and our monitoring system starts alerting. Restarting rsyslog on the clients proves ineffectual. The situation may clear itself without intervention after 90 minutes to several hours. However, this does not happen on all client systems in a similar situation (CentOS 7, large volume of constant log data); nor does it happen daily. Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks in advance.

Power Fail Protection Update II
by Chris Olson 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Many thanks once again to those that responded to my original posting (and my follow up message) with information about Network UPS Tools, other Linux-based tools like rtcwake, and commercial UPS products. We have quite a bit more evaluation and testing work to do before a power fail protection method is selected. I hope the discussion is as beneficial to others as it is to my organization. Along the way, one of our users pointed out that some of our CentOS 6 desktop/deskside machines actually throttle back power consumption in different ways than others. Instead of the yellow/amber LED display in the center of the power button, they flash green and then go solid green after the power button is pushed and the system wakes up. We have also noted that none of our CentOS 6 systems restart on their own when power is restored. This is the case whether power is lost during normal operation or when the systems are in a standby state when line power is lost. These two conditions or states (yellow/amber vs flashing green) have us wondering exactly what standby mode these systems are in and what settings may have been selected to send them to their standby state. Is there some sort of standard that applies to the standby states and are there BIOS settings or configuration files that control the what, how, and when standby is directed? Thanks to all and best regards.

fcitx-anthy request (for Japanese users)
by Scott Robbins 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Apropos of the discussion this week with the person trying to get Chinese input going on CentOS, I filed a request for enhancement with Fedora's EPEL to add fcitx-anthy as a package. Currently, I'm able to get it working with the Fedora 20 rpm, but it would be nice to not have to search for it. It's been assigned (I'm not sure how meaningful that is, depending upon the assignee's free time), but anyone who would like to add their support to the request can view the bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471924 -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

CentOS 7.x Russian certification
by Gorazd 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Dear all, does anyone have any idea where to get a list of all CentOS 7.x versions that are certified to be used within Russia. My guess is that organizations, such as FSTEK, TR-CU declares those versions/distributions of CentOS that are certified to be used with commercial projects in Russia. Anyone with some information on this, plase advice, I would be very grateful. Regards, Gorazd

Power Fail Protection Update
by Chris Olson 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Many thanks to those that responded to my original posting with information about Network UPS Tools and commercial UPS products. In our planning a path forward to implement UPS-based power fail protection, we have come across what appears to be an issue with the state of the CentOS 6 machines being UPS protected. Most of these machines are desktop/deskside machines that are likely to be idle during non-work hours. It is also likely that they will be hibernating or in a power save mode. In the power save mode, these machines do not respond to keyboard or mouse activity. They also do not respond to network traffic such as a ping from other systems on the network. The method we use to wake them up is a quick push on the power button when the hibernation state is indicated by the button's yellow LED display. This state of hibernation leaves us wondering if these systems will be able to respond to network messages sent by the UPS. We have not yet made it all the way through the NUT and UPS documentation. The hibernation answer may very well be therein, but we have not found it so far. Any help or direction regarding the hibernation issue as it relates to UPS power fail protection will be appreciated. Thanks again and best regards.

CESA-2017:2478 Critical CentOS 6 httpd Security Update (Johnny Hughes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2017 11:53:14 -0700 From: Jason Brooks <jbrooks(a)redhat.com> To: "The CentOS developers mailing list." <centos-devel(a)centos.org>, atomic-devel <atomic-devel(a)projectatomic.io>, atomic-announce(a)projectatomic.io, centos-announce(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] New CentOS Atomic Release and Kubernetes System Containers Now Available Message-ID: <CAF=rfpDokA6CUrO2W0aY3gEuOpJ384ThhH-6fwJxwf6OueAg_Q(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Last week, the CentOS Atomic SIG released an updated version (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) of CentOS Atomic Host (7.1707), a lean operating system designed to run Docker containers, built from standard CentOS 7 RPMs, and tracking the component versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. The release, which came as part of the monthly CentOS release stream, was a modest one, including only a single glibc bugfix update (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-July/022505.html) The next Atomic Host release will be based on the RHEL 7.4 source code (https://seven.centos.org/2017/08/centos-linux-7-1708-based-on-rhel-7-4-sour…) and will include support for overlayfs container storage, among other enhancements. Outside of the Atomic Host itself, the SIG has updated its Kubernetes container images to be usable as system containers (http://www.projectatomic.io/blog/2016/09/intro-to-system-containers/) What's more, in addition to the Kubernetes 1.5.x-based containers that derive from RHEL, the Atomic SIG is now producing packages and containers that provide the current 1.7.x version of Kubernetes. ## Containerized Master The downstream release of CentOS Atomic Host ships without the kubernetes-master package built into the image. You can install the master kubernetes components (apiserver, scheduler, and controller-manager) as system containers, using the following commands: # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-apiserver registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-apiserver:latest # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-scheduler registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-scheduler:latest # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-controller-manager registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-controller-manager:latest ## Kubernetes 1.7.x The CentOS Virt SIG is now producing Kubernetes 1.7.x rpms, available through this yum repo (https://github.com/CentOS/CentOS-Dockerfiles/blob/master/kubernetes-sig/mas…) The Atomic SIG is maintaining system containers based on these rpms that can be installed as as follows: ### on your master # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-apiserver registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-sig-apiserver:latest # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-scheduler registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-sig-scheduler:latest # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-controller-manager registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-sig-controller-manager:latest ### on your node(s) # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kubelet registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-sig-kubelet:latest # atomic install --system --system-package=no --name kube-proxy registry.centos.org/centos/kubernetes-sig-proxy:latest Both the 1.5.x and 1.7.x sets of containers have been tested with the kubernetes ansible scripts (https://github.com/kubernetes/contrib/tree/master/ansible) provided in the upstream contrib repository, and function as drop-in replacements for the installed rpms. If you prefer to run Kubernetes from installed rpms, you can layer the master components onto your Atomic Host image using rpm-ostree package layering with the command: `atomic host install kubernetes-master`. The containers referenced in these systemd service files are built in and hosted from the CentOS Community Container Pipeline (https://wiki.centos.org/ContainerPipeline) based on Dockerfiles from the CentOS-Dockerfiles repository (https://github.com/CentOS/CentOS-Dockerfiles/tree/master/kubernetes) ## Download CentOS Atomic Host CentOS Atomic Host is available as a VirtualBox or libvirt-formatted Vagrant box, or as an installable ISO, qcow2 or Amazon Machine image. For links to media, see the CentOS wiki (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) ## Upgrading If you're running a previous version of CentOS Atomic Host, you can upgrade to the current image by running the following command: $ sudo atomic host upgrade ## Release Cycle The CentOS Atomic Host image follows the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host cadence. After sources are released, they're rebuilt and included in new images. After the images are tested by the SIG and deemed ready, we announce them. ## Getting Involved CentOS Atomic Host is produced by the CentOS Atomic SIG (http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic) based on upstream work from Project Atomic (http://www.projectatomic.io/) If you'd like to work on testing images, help with packaging, documentation -- join us! The SIG meets weekly on Thursdays at 16:00 UTC in the #centos-devel channel, and you'll often find us in #atomic and/or #centos-devel if you have questions. You can also join the atomic-devel (https://lists.projectatomic.io/mailman/listinfo/atomic-devel) mailing list if you'd like to discuss the direction of Project Atomic, its components, or have other questions. ## Getting Help If you run into any problems with the images or components, feel free to ask on the centos-devel (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel) mailing list. Have questions about using Atomic? See the atomic (https://lists.projectatomic.io/mailman/listinfo/atomic) mailing list or find us in the #atomic channel on Freenode. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 20:20:53 +0000 From: Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> To: centos-announce(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] CESA-2017:2456 Critical CentOS 6 firefox Security Update Message-ID: <20170815202053.GA55144(a)n04.lon1.karan.org> Content-Type: text/plain;

Power Fail Protection
by Chris Olson 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Some of our largest systems run Windows because it supports engineering applications that we use regularly. These applications have unattended runs that often take between ten and fifteen hours to complete. We have taken the recommendation of the application supplier and equipped these Windows machines with UPS protection for 30 minutes at full load. The UPSs are Ethernet connected. A support application on the Windows engineering machine communicates with the UPS to detect and address any facility power failure. The long run engineering application is then suspended at a restart point and the system is shut down. We initiate job completion manually from the suspension restart point after the system has reliable power and is rebooted. If we wanted to protect our CentOS systems from facility power failure in a similar way, is there operating system or other standard support that we might employ? Most of the Linux-based applications are not as critical as the engineering applications on the Windows machines. There is a significant amount of processor idle time on several of the CentOS systems during non-work hours when the systems are unattended. Several CentOS systems are supported currently with UPSs, but they run out and the system loses power if it is unattended.
