VPN connection before login
by Tim 04 May '15

Hi all, is there a possibility to connect to a VPN manually before login on CentOS desktop (Gnome). I know of a similar functionality in Windows. Is there a tutorial or something? Thank you Tim

Kvm + libvirt + virt-manager
by Alessandro Baggi 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi list, I have updated C7 to 7.1 and get some issue (I don't know if problems depend from upgrade). My first problem is on virt-manager that crash after some time. From system messages I get that virt-manager is crashed with signal sigsegv and this problem is related to python (python get sigsegv). Anyone get similar behaviour after upgrade? Another problem, I can't say if it showed before/after upgrade, is related to libvirt when I shutdown my system. On my host I have different vm runned on KVM, where only 2 have autostart enabled. When shutting down the system I get from the console an error like this: Suspending test1: Done Suspending test2: ... error: Failed to save domain $someid state error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'migrate': State blocked by non-migratable device '0000:00:04.8/ich9_ahci' Vm test2 has a disk attached as raw device and not as image file. This message, with same error, is showed also for 2 other vm with autostart disabled and disk on qcow2 images, but only when them are online during shutdown. When system starts, all vms are running without problem. I can't figure out with this error... Why libvirt-guest.sh run migrate command when I shutdown the system? Hope in help. Thanks in advance

In other words I don't see /var/log/nrpe.log or whatever. :) And when I tail -f /var/log/secure or /var/log/messages I don't see any entries turning up in them when I hit the client with check_nrpe. I was checking the logs on the client itself. > > >> Also nrpe needs to be told from where connections are allowed whether > >> running under an inetd or self-daemonized. > > > >Yep!

Hmmmm. but the nrpe.confg file is ignored in the case of allowed hosts. >From the nrpe config: # NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1 Thanks for the input tho, I genuinely appreciate it!

Hmmm... you make an excellent point! I picked up this habit from an AWS shop I used to work at. But what you just said will make me reconsider! > > >It's only when checking from the monitoring host that nrpe fails: > Check /var/log/messages to see if xinetd says anything. I tailed /var/log/messages while hitting the client with check_nrpe from the monitoring host.

Cool! Thanks. I'll check it out, and see if I can find anything useful. I appreciate the input! Also I really appreciate the ongoing dialog with the community on this issue. I'm grasping at straws at this point. And all the attempts at help have been really great! I hope we can still get to the bottom of this!

rsync backup to fileserver - mystery
by Frank Cox 02 May '15

02 May '15

I have an Intel SS4000E fileserver that I've been using for several years to backup my home directory to. I have a daily cron job that runs the following command: rsync -av --delete /home/frankcox/ /mnt/fileserver/backup I have a directory named misc/sheet-music/classical. About a week ago I created a new subdirectory there, /home/frankcox/misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European/ Notice the spaces in the subdirectory name; I don't know if that's relevant or not. I store a number of bzip-ed pdf files in that subdirectory, like this: BARTOKA.pdf.bz2, BARTOKB.pdf.bz2 and so on. Now for the mystery. The rsync command above gets me a report in my email from cron telling me what files were changed or deleted since the last backup run. And ever since I created that misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European subdirectory, it appears that the files in that subdirectory are getting copied to the fileserver again every day, since they are all listed in the email report that I receive. diff -r --brief /home/frankcox/misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European/ /mnt/fileserver/backup/misc/misc/sheet-music-classical/Russian\ and\ Eastern\ European/ That command gives me no output, so the contents of that subdirectory appear to match on both machines. So why is that subdirectory getting copied again every day when it hasn't changed? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

eno1 and eth0 on centos 7.1
by Jerry Geis 01 May '15

01 May '15

I installed 7.1 with the command line values biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 thinking this would result in ifcfg-eth0 being the file to use... The system still created an ifcfg-eno1 file and that was what is being used for network config information. I remove the ifcfg-eno1 and rebooted - got no network. I then copied back the ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-en01 and changed the device name in the file and rebooted and back to the correct network. How can I get just the old behaviour of ifcfg-eth0 ? Thanks, Jerry

Centos 7.1
by Jerry Geis 01 May '15

01 May '15

Still new to 7.1... I noticed today that when I did a cp command on the console and it asked me to overrite (as it should) the file name had a lower case a with a ^ above the a. Never ran across that before. What might I have not configured? Thanks, Jerry

Cron Issues
by Matt 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I have noanacron installed on a fresh centos 7 install. I added this too settings. nano /etc/cron.d/0hourly */5 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.fiveminutes */1 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.minute 0,30 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.halfhour and then created the directories for it. Now I keep getting these errors in secure log. **** pam_systemd(crond:session): Failed to create session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Can anyone tell me how to resolve it?
