by mcclnx mcc 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

We just install Centos 6.5 as an ORACLE server. We found /etc/syslog.conf file is gone. Some of our applications used to setup on CENTOS 5.X /etc/syslog.conf are not work. Can anyone tell me how to fix Centos 6.X no /etc/syslog.conf issue? Thanks.

about new Centos SIG distro releases
by Edward M 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hello, Kinda confused, will CentOS new SIGs: CentOS Storage, CentOS Cloud, and CentOS Virtualization, CentOS Core,etc be a developmental path to future RHEL releases, or will they continue be an exact clone of RHEL, like Centos currently is? http://www.zdnet.com/red-hat-reveals-centos-plans-7000027812/

Centos and Selinux issue
by Alessandro Baggi 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hi list, I'm new to Centos and I've a very small knowledge of selinux use. I can disable it, but I prefer take it on for study. I've a second mirrored device that I use for file sharing. This is the scenario: /dev/md2 mounted on /mnt/data To make samba working I must set the file context to the path at samba_share_t on /mnt/data. After this samba works. Now I'm setting up postgresql on the same machine, and for first disk size I must use /dev/md2. After configuring postgresql script to init the db, and setting up the alternative data path pointing to /mnt/data/pgsql/data, initdb or start postgresql fail. This issue is selinux related. Now, directory /mnt/data/pgsql/data, has fcontext to samba_share_t and postgresql init script give permission denied on /mnt/data/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf. At this point I've tried to set with chcon /mnt/data at postgresql_db_t, rerun initdb and /etc/init.d/postgresql start and all works fine, except for samba. I can't access anymore the share (for context change). I've tried to set: /mnt/data to samba_share_t /mnt/data/pgsql to postgresql_db_t but with this config is pgsql that does not work. At this point, is possible set to /mnt/data a multiple context to make samba and postgresql to get working on the same path, or I must use "public....." It's a better choice mount /dev/md2 on /mnt/data, make to dirs, one for pgsql and another for sambashare, set relative context and start services? Thanks in advance. Alessandro.

Ok, first thing you want to do is set it to permissive mode (setenforce 0, and edit /etc/selinux/config to Permissive from Enforcing). That way, you'll get all the alerts and, of course, denials... but it will let it operate. Second: chcon is fine for setting user_u. Maybe role. DON'T USE IT unless you *must* for types. The reason for that is that it does NOT last across reboots. Use semanage (file that under user surly, at the very least). Read the manpage for that, and look at the examples. Nasty gotchas that I've had to fight through: a) it's *not* the wildcards I'm used to. To get a directory and its contents, give the *FULL* pathname, then end as the example: semanage fcontext -a -t whatsit_t "/mnt/what/dunno(/.*)?" Notes: the -a says add this context. if it's got a wildcard, USE THE QUOTES around the path. If it's just one file, you don't need the quotes, but use the *full* path. Selinux does not play with relative paths. b) assuming you get past that, then run restorecon -R -v - /path -R is recursive, and -v is verbose, so you *see* it doing what you expect it to do (or not). To your specific issue, /mnt is, I believe, not one of their paths that the policy knows what to do with, so you'll have to label it all. For things that policy doesn't know, and relabelling still didn't fix the problem, you'll need to create a policy (but be *VERY* chary about that). Make sure auditd is running, and that setroubleshoot is installed. Trying to read the AVC's tends to be a study in frustration. The sealerts that will show up in messages will *usually* be more helpful (unless your users or organization are doing stuff that's not what everyone else does (like not having your website stuff under /var/www). Last detail: subscribe <selinux(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> <SNIP> mark "no, I don't like selinux, but I'm stuck having to live with it, even though we mostly have it in permissive mode"

vncserver does not start gnome-sessioin automatically
by Yawei Guo 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

I installed RHEL 5.8 x86_64 today. To my surprise, when I connect it using vnc viewer it does not start gnome-session automatically. The last line in .vnc/xstartup is twm& Before I removed RHEL 6.1 a few days ago, vncserver always starts gnome-session every time I open vncviewer. Is that related to RHEL version or vnc-server version? Best Regards, Yawei

The repodata directory is currently broken on several, if not all, mirrors for the 6.5 iso files
by jshields＠hostgator.com 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

The repodata directory on all 6.5 isos that I have sampled have an issue where the file names don't have extensions resulting in a yum repo error on installation just after disk partitioning. This error prompts you with the choice between either allowing you choose another repo or to exit the installer. I remedied this issue with the following: [root@testserv /root/test/centos]$ find repodata/ -type f -not -name repomd.xml -exec sh -c 'mv {} -v $(grep -Po "(?<=href=\")({}.*?)(?=\"/>)" repodata/repomd.xml)' \; ‘repodata/b4e0b9342ef85d3059ff095fa7f140f654c2cb492837de689a58c581207d9632’ -> ‘repodata/b4e0b9342ef85d3059ff095fa7f140f654c2cb492837de689a58c581207d9632-c6-x86_64-comps.xml’ ‘repodata/5af8199bd0ffb441c34ef946582d0d06c1ad770755e631690771e0bceb0ad222’ -> ‘repodata/5af8199bd0ffb441c34ef946582d0d06c1ad770755e631690771e0bceb0ad222-other.xml.gz’ ‘repodata/594d4bb4a79ed01d66635adbcf76c45ca4a85b30fc3e3c3c28316e64f0a83f21’ -> ‘repodata/594d4bb4a79ed01d66635adbcf76c45ca4a85b30fc3e3c3c28316e64f0a83f21-filelists.sqlite.bz2’ ‘repodata/6ac72f497df511cc2dc584eaa59779884fc572c1618e7c62dbd631ab8babf53d’ -> ‘repodata/6ac72f497df511cc2dc584eaa59779884fc572c1618e7c62dbd631ab8babf53d-filelists.xml.gz’ ‘repodata/0dafccfdbf892f02acca8267ade4bdcee7280a682e65dc7e29145f3341fd7a8c’ -> ‘repodata/0dafccfdbf892f02acca8267ade4bdcee7280a682e65dc7e29145f3341fd7a8c-primary.sqlite.bz2’ ‘repodata/ca525c73086186bfcb81ad9edd45796026dac7e4e50524e0f2daf901532aaf66’ -> ‘repodata/ca525c73086186bfcb81ad9edd45796026dac7e4e50524e0f2daf901532aaf66-c6-x86_64-comps.xml.gz’ ‘repodata/fdd542ef36b0cde54ee0521fae90b98911db06483163aa1c049995b6d109349b’ -> ‘repodata/fdd542ef36b0cde54ee0521fae90b98911db06483163aa1c049995b6d109349b-other.sqlite.bz2’ ‘repodata/495d3964f864fbab835ea1afb8a5272352cd12ded13d607205109fefaddd0ab6’ -> ‘repodata/495d3964f864fbab835ea1afb8a5272352cd12ded13d607205109fefaddd0ab6-primary.xml.gz’ The repomd.xml file has the correct names for the files, the files in this directory just have the sha sums as their file names, not the full path name as defined in the xml file. This results in yum breaking just after partitioning. The only way I was able to get around this before modifying the iso file was to follow the onscreen prompt and enter in a valid mirror as an HTTP/FTP host. This issue is currently afflicting all variants of 6.5. As of this writing the two test files I just confirmed have this issue are: http://mirror.cisp.com/CentOS/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minima… Last night I downloaded the minimal, livecd, livedvd and netinstall isos from 10+ mirrors. All of them triggered the error from the files not being named correctly. --Shields

30 Mar '14

centos 6.4, setup to be syslog server. Doing remote syslog using tcp works fine, so now want to add relp. I installed the rsyslog-relp package and told rsyslog.conf to use it: # RELP Syslog Server: $ModLoad imrelp # provides RELP syslog reception $InputRELPServerRun 20514 when I restart rsyslog I am told it does not like my InputRELPServerRun line: Oct 28 13:43:54 scan rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.10" x-pid="7102" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start Oct 28 13:43:54 scan rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.conf, line 23:"$InputRELPServerRun 20514" Any clues?
