Proper check of openssl usage in processes?
by Rafał Radecki 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi All :) I need to check and possibly update openssl on my fleet of servers. I would like to avoid reboot if possible. I think that I can: - update openssl version with yum - check all daemon processes which are constantly running in the os, for example for sshd something like ldd `which sshd` | awk '/\// { print $3 }' | grep crypto | xargs strings | grep -i openssl to verify if the old openssl version is still used - if it is still used (I think that without a process restart the old version will be used) I will perform restart of the process Can this kind of check be done in some other way? BR, Rafal.

C5.11 Firefox Upgrade = Firefox will not start
by Always Learning 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Upgraded Firefox due to today's security announcement. Closed Firefox and restarted but after about 20 seconds, Firefox stopped trying to start. No error messages displayed. Firefox would not start in safe mode. Reluctant to try Firefox with complete reset as might loose passwords and other settings made in about:config Have downgraded Firefox > Removed: > firefox.i386 0:31.5.3-1.el5.centos firefox.x86_64 0:31.5.3-1.el5.centos > > Installed: > firefox.i386 0:31.5.0-1.el5.centos firefox.x86_64 0:31.5.0-1.el5.centos Have looked in /var/logs but can not see anything relevant. How can I identify the cause of the problem ? Thanks, Paul. England, EU. Je suis Charlie.

If you're using a drive 2TB or smaller, and an MBR, rather than a GPT, you can *only* have four primary partitions. To make more, one of those must be an extended partition, and you can create additional partitions in that. One question: why do you need so many? mark

xfs_quota problem
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

I brought this up a month or so ago, and am just back to it: I've got a large RAID filesystem, mounted in one location, /<mntpt>/x/workspace, but we're having project directories that are under that magically appear under /workspace, as /workspace/projname1.... I need to set up xfs quotas by project, and I can't seem to find the right syntax. CentOS 6. Note that it's *project* quotas, which according to the docs and man pages do not need to be a filesystem. Too much googling, with high a noise to signal ratio. mark

Hi. We have another leap second coming. Have past bugs with Centos and leap seconds (specifically high CPU spikes) been resolved? Should we be worried? -G

CentOS 6.x desktop specs: minimum requirements
by Niki Kovacs 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Hi, I often have to deal with relatively obsolete hardware in schools, public libraries, small town halls, etc. I still have a handful of CentOS 5.x installations around for these, but I wonder what CentOS 6.x desktop specs are, e. g. the minimum requirements (in terms of CPU and RAM) to reasonably run it. Will a battered first-generation P-IV with 512 MB RAM be sufficient? How much RAM does 6.x's graphical installer require to even start? Or is it better to opt for CentOS 5.x on this sort of dinosaur?

RHEL/CentOS bugfixing policy for LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird?
by Niki Kovacs 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Hi, RHEL/CentOS releases 5.x, 6.x and 7.x are all shipping reasonably recent versions of Firefox ESR, Thunderbird ESR and LibreOffice. Until recently I've been using Slackware Linux as a base system for client's desktops and workstations. Since my primary aim is reliability, I always tried to opt for the most stable releases, so for example I'd rather go for LibreOffice 4.2.8 than 4.3.1. A question just crossed my mind: does RHEL include software like LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird "as is" from upstream, or is there some RHEL-specific quality control and bugfixing for this kind of software?
