C6 or C7 for an old netbook
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

I've got an old HP Netbook, which is just fine for taking with when I'm travelling, to check email and news. I have a very old Ubuntu netbook-remix on it, and it really, *really* needs to be updated to something current. I, of course, would prefer CentOS.... The question is: I see that *if* the specs I just looked up (I'm at work, not home, where I could just turn it on, but they sound right) Atom N270 CPU, 2G RAM, 160GB drive - what should I put on it, C6 or C7? Upgrading the memory's not going to happen, so it's got to live with that size. Opinions (please, no flame wars), just what will be most responsive on a machine this small? mark

bind update flubbed somehow?
by Jason Welsh 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

hey folks, we upgraded bind last night to bind-9.8.2-0.62.rc1.el6_9.1.x86_64 and now our server seems to not be able to update. Whenever we add records and update the soa and reload, it still shows the old data.. so for example, we have [root@bind1 /var/named]$grep servername domainname.net.zone [root@bind1 /var/named]$nslookup -port=5353 servername 10.115.76.87 Server: 10.10.76.87 Address: 10.10.76.87#5353 Name: servername.domainname.net Address: 10.66.35.106 but when I grep the file from the zone file, it is not there.. grep servername domainname.net.zone <returns nothing> ive tried restarting the named a few times.. Im not seeing much that looks like its related in the logs.. any ideas? there is no selinux enabled here. Jason

Crazy thought about upgrading to new major release
by Jerry Geis 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

I have older systems out there that work fine, just for what ever reason would be great to upgrade from a C5 -> C7 (due to no longer supported) or C6 > C7 (for updated packages). Sounds like the upgrade tool is not quite an option... I was thinking... What would be wrong with any "easy" script that did the following: 1) Removed all packages with the --justdb option. 2) Import the RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 3) install the centos-release-7.3.1611 ... rpm 4) yum -y upgrade 5) yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" (for example) and reboot of course. Does that have any chance or working and be valid? Thanks, Jerry

Domain Logout, then domain login again, profile corrupt -> replaced by TEMP profile
by Jobst Schmalenbach 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

Hi I have had this problem for a while, but waited to post this until I upgraded to see whether the upgrade would fix it. I upgraded samba to the 4.2.X stream from 3.6.X stream, but it happens on both, 3.6.X and 4.2.10. Whenever someone logs out, then in again the profile gets corrupted and a new TEMP profile is created (the dreadful "creating new desktop"). Now I do not know where this problem is - the desktop or the server. It also happens if you wait 1/2 hour or so, never tried it longer. I can quickly fix this by: - tell the user to log out - rsync -avHAX the profile with yesterdays profile - tell the user to log in again Now if I log out on my workstation, then on the server I do a "smb reload", then log in again this problem does not happen. This morning a person logged out of his workstation, went over to the bigscreen in one of our training rooms and logged in there, then logged out, went over to his machine but got the dreadful "preparing desktop" on login ....

weird SELinux denial
by Vanhorn, Mike 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

I keep seeing this in my audit.logs: type=AVC msg=audit(1496336600.230:6): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=2411 comm="dbus-daemon" dest=111 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:portmap_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket Was caused by: The boolean allow_ypbind was set incorrectly. Description: Allow system to run with NIS Allow access by executing: # setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1 The weirdness is that when I check allow_ypbind, it’s already on: # getsebool allow_ypbind allow_ypbind --> on # Does anyone with more experience with SELinux than me have any idea why this is happening? --- Mike VanHorn Senior Computer Systems Administrator College of Engineering and Computer Science Wright State University 265 Russ Engineering Center 937-775-5157 michael.vanhorn(a)wright.edu

Hi, are there packages replacing the ancient perl version in Centos 7 with a more recent one, like 5.24? At least the state feature is required.

C7 ansible 2.3 become_method: su not working
by Mark Haney 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

I just don't know what else to try. I've beat my head on this for 3 days now and it's becoming obvious that either Ansible 2.3 is a complete disaster, or the CentOS 7 package is a complete cluster. Here's my problem. I am working on getting an ansible server to manage about 100 or so CentOS 6 servers. All have an unprivileged user account setup (up to 3 years before I got here in April) but that user account isn't setup with sudo access. The way to get to root is 'su'. I'm not a newbie with Ansible as I used it extensively in my previous position to manage ~70 or so Ubuntu servers. The Ansible is CentOS 7. I'm working on getting Ansible to play nice with privilege escalation using SU and NAFT has worked. Here's an example (very simple) playbook: Because I'm having to use 'su' I have to either add the user password to the inventory file or use the --ask-become-pass parameter to the command line. Every time I do, I get this: [root@ansible ~]# ansible-playbook playbooks/radtest.yml --ask-become-pass SUDO password: It bombs timing out on privilege escalation. Every single time. I'm absolutely frustrated and am almost ready to throw ansible to the curb for something that doesn't suck so bad. But before I do, I'm asking the list, anyone seen anything like this before? I could post to the ansible list, but it's a google group and God knows when I might get a reply. BTW, setting up root with key-only auth is an option, but would be a real PITA to configure 100+ external servers by hand with the keys and reconfig sshd for it.

CentOS 7 install: closest mirror not supported?
by Jos Vos 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hi, Do CentOS 7 installs not automatically use a closest mirror for installing like Fedora does, or is that due to the way I'm starting the install (virt-install)? Background: I'm trying to find the best way to do installs using basic local media (network install, but *without* the need to download the squashfs.img for every install) but without a full local mirror. On Fedora (25), it works fine using a local boot.iso (virt-install -l), but with CentOS 7 you then have to manually enter a repository URL. I also tried a local kernel/pxeboot tree with LiveOS/squashfs.img (the latter similar to Fedora's install.img?) with no result.
