by Venkateswara Rao Dokku 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

HI, I would like to upgrade my customized CentOS 5.5 to CentOS 7. For this I took the latest stable CentOS 7 image and wanted to install the packages that are there in the existing customized version of CentOS 5.5. I could install some of the packages, but the following packages I couldn't install. 1. Rhpl 2.mod_perl 3. 3.notification-daemon 4. 4.vixie-cron 5.kudzu 6.redhat-lsb 7.mod_python 8.webalizer 9.pam_ccreds 10.libnotify 11.irda_utils 112.readahead 113.MkInitrd 114.Alchemist 115.Cadevar 16.system-config-network-tui 17.firstboot-tui Whwhen tried to install the packages using *YUM *command, it is complaining that no such package. W When tried to install packages from rpm's, there are too many dependencies? CaCan you please suggest the best way to install the above packages in the latest CentOs? WhAre the packages deprecated? or merged into some other package? THThanks for the help -- Thanks & Regards, Venkateswara Rao Dokku.

Just to point out that EL5 does not get this patch: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0165.html "A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the mod_dav_svn module handled REPORT requests. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use a specially crafted REPORT request to crash mod_dav_svn. (CVE-2014-3580)" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174054#c17 -- LF

Why the command 'service ntpd stop' cause the time reversed?
by David chen 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

A shell script is deployed to synchronize time, the script is invoked hourly by crontab, and its content is as follows: #!/bin/bash service ntpd stop ntpdate 192.168.0.191 #it's a valid ntpd server in LAN service ntpd start chkconfig ntpd on Inspected the Linux log(Centos6.4 /var/log/messages), found the following fragment: Jan 7 14:00:01 host1 ntpd[32101]: ntpd exiting on signal 15 Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44764]: ntpd 4.2.4p8(a)1.1612-o Fri Feb 22 11:23:27 UTC 2013 (1) Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: precision = 0.143 usec Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on interface #0 wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Disabled Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on interface #1 wildcard, ::#123 Disabled Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on interface #2 lo, ::1#123 Enabled Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on interface #3 em2, fe80::ca1f:66ff:fee1:eed#123 Enabled Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on interface #4 lo, 127.0.0.1#123 Enabled Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on interface #5 em2, 192.168.1.151#123 Enabled Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: Listening on routing socket on fd #22 for interface updates Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: kernel time sync status 2040 Jan 7 13:59:59 host1 ntpd[44765]: frequency initialized 499.399 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/drift Jan 7 14:00:01 host1 ntpd_initres[32103]: parent died before we finished, exiting Jan 7 14:04:17 host1 ntpd[44765]: synchronized to 192.168.0.191, stratum 2 Jan 7 14:04:17 host1 ntpd[44765]: kernel time sync status change 2001 The script should be executed at 14:00, the first line of the fragment also should indicate that the command 'service ntpd stop' have executed successfully, but why the second line timestamp(13:59:59) is less than the first line's(14:00:01)? Inspected the Linux log, the problem has happened three times, the time point was Jan 7 14:00:00, Jan 14 14:00:00 and Feb 4 14:00:00 respectively.

Do I need these?
by Mark LaPierre 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hey Y'all, I got a package update notice this evening for package augeas-libs. As is my practice I figured I would check to see if I needed the package or if I could just delete it thus obviating the need to install the upgrade. This is what yum has to say about the package and it's sole dependency. Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Removing: augeas-libs i686 1.0.0-7.el6 @base 934 k Removing for dependencies: netcf-libs i686 0.2.4-1.el6 @base 186 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 2 Package(s) So just to be sure I put them both on the same command line and got this: Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Removing: augeas-libs i686 1.0.0-7.el6 @base 934 k netcf-libs i686 0.2.4-1.el6 @base 186 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 2 Package(s) It would appear that there are no application packages that depend on augeas-libs or netcf-libs. It doesn't look like anything is using them. Is there any good reason why I should not just erase augeas-libs and netcf-libs? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

[OT] Using rsync to backup / restore - when to use (or not use) the -H option switch?
by Francis Gerund 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hello. After some reading, including the rsync man page, I am still not clear on this: When using rsync to backup and restore, when should and when should one *not* include hard links (by using the -H option switch)? A simple example case would be backups for one or just a few light-duty local workstations. Is there a simple, clear rule about that, or is it too complicated for that?

VMWare server 2 disk image and QEMU
by Allart Pieters 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

I need to convert a VMWare Server 2 disk image to QEMU. I've read that QEMU supports VMWare disk formats. I just want to be sure it also supports the old VMWare Server 2 format. Anyone has any experience with/knowledge about this? Tnx in advance, Allart

SCL MirrorList error
by Andrew Lau 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi, In the past my mirrorlist for SCL, http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=SCL has worked without any issues. Recently http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=SCL redirects to http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/scl/x86_64/ which leads to 404, instead it should be http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/SCL/x86_64/ Is this a change or bug. Thanks, Andrew

Nvidia Mod Update
by Mark LaPierre 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hey all, On my X86-64 CentOS 6.6 machine I just ran yum update. In the update was an upgrade from the 340.XX Nvidia package to the 346.XX package. Hrmmm? I'm thinking this is not a good idea but, since this is just a test system any way, I let it run. Sure enough I was right. Dmesg says that my video is supported by the 340.XX driver, not the 346.XX driver. It's not happy cause it can't find a supported GPU. 1. So, having only a command line interface, how do I tell yum to rip out the 346.XX package and reinstall the 340.XX package? 2. How do I tell yum not to do such stupid stuff again? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

That is why they work. Truly, with network security you really, really have to develop a pathological paranoia about files with unknown origins or you might as well give up on security at all. PDFs are known vectors for malware. They have been exploited in the past and no doubt will be exploited in the future. A PDF file is a postscript computer language program with embedded data. Nothing more. But nothing less either. Given the network awareness of some pdf reader software they are also potential data leaks and web beacons. That said, I readily admit that the risk posed by this particular example is low. But, it is not zero. And depending upon the platform the file is copied to any non-zero risk, no matter how small, may be too much. I might put such a file on a stand-alone laptop but I would never put it on anything that connected to my networks. I certainly would not place it on anything that did not possess a fairly robustly constructed firewall with strict limits on outgoing traffic. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
