0006698: CentOS is missing libnetfilter queue related packages
by Robert Moskowitz 08 May '14

08 May '14

I am working with HIP for Linux: http://infrahip.hiit.fi/ We are looking to some major server support on currently Centos 6 cloud images. Problem is for other distros, hipl has moved on to libnetfilter_queue which is not supported in Centos 6. See: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6698 How can we get this as part of the standard install and maintained libs? thank you.

License question: centos-indexhtml
by Jose Luna 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi, and sorry to bug you all for something so simple: The project in which I am working would like to use CentOS, but it has very strict requirements regarding licensing. The item that I have had trouble with is centos-indexhtml-6-1.el6.centos.src.rpm. Within it, the License is only identified as 'distributable', which is not precise enough. Is there any way of contacting the author of said package, or does anyone have any clues as to what does distributable mean exactly? (preferably with references somewhere in the CentOS distribution) -Joe

su command
by Jerry Geis 08 May '14

08 May '14

I am running pulseaudio on centOS 6.5 audio works fine as the user. running the command aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav works fine. when I login as root and run the command su user -c "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" it does not work. I thought su actually runs as that user... is there some "magic" to su I don't know about? How might I get that to work ? Thanks, jerry

RHEL7 beta discussions?
by Les Mikesell 08 May '14

08 May '14

Where would be an appropriate place to get help with the quirks of RHEL7 beta, particularly GUI usability issues? Gnome3 won't work under x2go, so I'm trying to use KDE but can't believe that anyone actually uses borderless windows where you can't tell where you are clicking near the edges, grey-background terminals or the default font set. So there must be some other themes or a lot that I don't know about it. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Re: [CentOS] UC su command

Try using "su -" to get a login shell. For example: # su - user -c pwd /home/user # su user -c pwd /root You are trying to run pulseaudio in root's environment with the user's permissions.

Format big drives (4TB) in the installer?
by CS_DBA 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi all; I cross posted this to the fedora list since we use Fedora as a test bed from time to time, however given this is a production server we'll likely be running CentOS. we've just ordered a new server (http://www.spectrumservers.com/ssproducts/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=26&idpr…) Originally I tried to simply upgrade an older server with more drive space, I installed six (6) 4TB drives and did a new CentOS 6.5 install but the OS would not allow me to configure more than 2TB per drive. Subsequent research leads me to conclude that if the bios supports UEFI and the installer boots as such then the installer should see 4TB drives without any issues. I'm also assuming that any server I order today (i.e. a more modern server) should ship with UEFI support in the bios. Are my conclusions above per UEFI correct? Thanks in advance

NFS4 idmap question
by Peter Wood 07 May '14

07 May '14

HTTPD on some of my CentOS5 systems is configured to run as user "nobody". Also, it needs access to some exported file systems. CentOS5 uses NFS3 so I changed the ownership of the files on the storage server to "nobody" to give httpd full permissions. Now I want to rebuild these systems with CentOS6 and httpd running as user "apache". The problem is how to give access to the NFS exports to these new servers while the old ones are still using the same exports. CentOS6 uses NFS4 so I was thinking to use idmap and statically map user "nobody" to local user "apache" but I can't seem to get it working. I wonder is it even possible considering that user "nobody" is a system type user? Any better ideas what I can do to give user nobody on CentOS5 and user apache on CentOS6 full access to the same NFS exported directories locally owned by user nobody? Thank you, -- Peter

We've added stuff in our kickstart script to partition with GPT and parted (fdisk doesn't do GPT, if you'd missed that). In the ks, we mklabel GPT, then do NOT clear partitioning when you go to create partitions, or it'll blow away the GPT. Also, my manager is very much not a fan of LVM, but we do have *large* RAIDs - we use RAID 6 for data, though we've used RAID 1 for /boot and /. Since I keep reading that "we really need to fix the fsck,etc tools for > 16TB in the next year" for the last 4 years (at least), I partition them as 14-16TB, and that works just fine. mark

files mysteriously changing ownership
by Tim Dunphy 07 May '14

07 May '14

We have a directory that holds the media for a website. We want that directory owned by the apache user and group. But for some reason that directory and all it's files keep reverting to being owned by a user account and group. [root@webservera ourwebsite]# ls -ld media/ drwxrwxr-x 163 user_a user_a_group 143360 Apr 29 13:29 media/ I have even setup a cron job to automate the ownership of this file to the right group to run every hour. 0 * * * * /bin/chown -R apache:apache /var/www/ourwebsite/media/ But every hour that directory keeps reverting to being owned by user_a and user_a_group. I've checked history files and crontabs for all users including root for rsync's and chowns. And I can find no evidence of what is causing this phenomenon of the directory automatically changing its' owner and group. How can I best investigate this in ways I haven't tried yet? The host in question is a CentOS 5.7 host. Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
