Problem installing Centos 6.4/6.5 from USB stick seen as HDD by BIOS
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

I'm trying to install C6.5 on a USB stick (created using Fedora LiveUSB Creator). The problem is the machine using an Intel ITX board sets the USB stick as a HDD instead of a CDROM. During install, the DVD couldn't find the installer automatically and I must choose the HDD option for it to proceed to network/timezone/storage setup. After the storage partitioning, it will throw an error that it is unable to read package metadata. Although there is an option to edit the repo information, there isn't an option to specify a hard disk. Switching to console, attempts to mount /dev/sdb as /dev/cdrom or /mnt/sr0 met with failure because the USB drive is in use. Previously I used 6.4 and downloaded 6.5 thinking it might just be an issue with 6.4 but both failed at the same point. There doesn't appear to be anybody else who encounter the same problem on a quick google. Is this considered a bug with anaconda or is there some kind of workaround such as forcing the system to mount /dev/sdb as cdrom despite already being mounted/busy?

mail tools preferences?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

We don't have enough arguments here.... <g> I see that thunderbird's deprecated for RHEL 7, and they recommend evolution. I've certainly had some annoyances in the last couple-three years with t-bird. So, what are people's preferred mail tools, other than t-bird (or maybe mutt or pine.... <g>)? mark

VMware restricting to 3GB RAM
by Hersh Parikh 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi, I am running VMware player on CentOS 5.4 and its working fine. However it does not allow me to increase the RAM more than 3GB. It keeps throwing error stating- "Requested memory size is greater than allowed maximum of 3072 MB. Could not initiate memory hot plug." I understand from few threads that 32bit OS has this kind of limitation but I am able to understand why I am seeing this issue when I am using 64bit OS and VMware player is also for 64bit. Regards Hersh

glusterfs-server package: what happened to it?
by Florin Andrei 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

I'm doing some experiments with GlusterFS. Most documents online suggest to install the glusterfs-package as if it was available directly in the repo, and therefore installable via a simple "yum install". Unless I'm wrong, it appears that this package is not in the repo for CentOS 6. Does anyone know what happened to it? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

mounting CDROM without mapaping UC to LC
by Fred Smith 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi! this is surely a newbie question, so I should know the answer, but I'm fighting with mounting a CD such that filenames are NOT mapped to lowercase (I need to use its on-board tools for accessing files on it while mounted on Centos 6.5, and those tools assume uppercawse, since they assume the entire world runs Windoze.) but despite my best efforts, it keeps being mounted with UC-LC mapping enabled. here's what I've been trying: mount -t iso9660 -o norock,remount,ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500,gid=500,iocharset=utfi,mode=0400,dmode=0500 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd and even this: umount /mnt/cd mount -t iso9660 -o norock,ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500,gid=500,iocharset=utfi,mode=0400,dmode=0500 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd I've also tried using nojoliet both with and without norock, and also map=normal, all to no avail. I also tried the remount option using the original automount location in /media, and got no better results. I'm hoping someone out there can point me to what I'm doing wrong.

CentOS 6.5 VirtualBox
by Toralf Lund 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi Is anyone here using VirtualBox? I've had it working rather well for some time, but after some recent upgrade or the other it's started exiting with a Segmentation fault just after startup, before windows are opened or anything. I've tried a few different versions, all with the same result. I'm using binary packages http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el. So, have any of you lot seen this?

sudo (+ldap+kerberos) not accepting password
by Mauricio Tavares 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

So I have this centos 5.10 box which authenticates network users against ldap(authorizing)+kerberos(authentication). And I now would like to have sudo be able to allow admins (netgroup chinbeards) to sudo about. I am not using sssd though (yet). Here is the output of me trying sudo (debug on): [raub@centos5-x64 ~]$ sudo pwd LDAP Config Summary =================== uri ldap://idir1.internal.domain.com/ ldap://idir2.internal.domain.com/ ldap_version 3 sudoers_base ou=SUDOers,dc=domain,dc=com binddn (anonymous) bindpw (anonymous) bind_timelimit 120000 timelimit 120 ssl start_tls tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts =================== sudo: ldap_initialize(ld, ldap://idir1.internal.domain.com/ ldap://idir2.internal.domain.com/) sudo: ldap_set_option: debug -> 0 sudo: ldap_set_option: ldap_version -> 3 sudo: ldap_set_option: tls_cacertdir -> /etc/openldap/cacerts sudo: ldap_set_option: timelimit -> 120 sudo: ldap_set_option(LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, 120) sudo: ldap_start_tls_s() ok sudo: ldap_sasl_bind_s() ok sudo: found:cn=defaults,ou=SUDOers,dc=domain,dc=com sudo: ldap sudoOption: 'env_keep+=SSH_AGENT_PID' sudo: ldap sudoOption: 'env_keep+=SSH_AUTH_SOCK' sudo: ldap sudoOption: 'env_keep+=SVN_SSH' sudo: ldap sudoOption: 'env_reset' sudo: ldap sudoOption: 'ignore_local_sudoers' sudo: ldap search '(|(sudoUser=raub)(sudoUser=%raub)(sudoUser=%chinbeards)(sudoUser=ALL))' sudo: ldap search 'sudoUser=+*' sudo: found:cn=defaults,ou=SUDOers,dc=domain,dc=com sudo: ldap sudoUser netgroup '+chinbeards' ...

So, to me the sudo+ldap part of the transaction (authorization, kinda of what is mentioned in http://www.sudo.ws/sudoers.ldap.man.html and http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/readme_ldap.html) seem to be fine. But, in the next step -- it asks for password -- is when things get interesting. At this point I would expect it to pass that to pam, which would then autenticate me with kerberos (I wonder if it would work by checking if I have a valid kerberos ticket. That is what happens when I, say, do ldapsearch. but I digress). But, according to /var/log/secure, Jan 17 10:07:13 centos5-x64 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname=raub uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/pts/0 ruser= rhost= user=raub It seems to have failed to authenticate me. Would it be due to pam not knowing about kerberos? Reading http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s1-kerberos-pam.html, should I be able to get pam_krb5 in, say, /etc/pam.d/system-auth like this: #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth sufficient pam_krb5.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_krb5.so account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password sufficient pam_krb5.so use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session optional pam_mkhomedir.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_krb5.so

Re: [CentOS] updated certificate, but certwatch still reporting it needs to be renewed
by Jobst Schmalenbach 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Thanks for the reply. I put all the different certs into different subdirectories, so I know it's that one, e.g.: /apachepath/conf.d/cert1 /apachepath/conf.d/cert2 /apachepath/conf.d/cert3 It, too, complains about the "/apachepath/conf.d/cert3/domain.crt" file, which comes from the provider anyway. I know it's the correct/new/latest one (date,size and from tests).

updated certificate, but certwatch still reporting it needs to be renewed
by Jobst Schmalenbach 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi I updapted the ssl certificate on the 15th of Jan using the providers update facility. Then I downloaded the new certificate, installed it and restarted httpd. Then I checked with the providers "ssl installation diagnostic tool" whether everything is fine - and it is, all reported good. Then I opened a browser, loaded the https website, checked the certificate and it's valid until 8/02/2017, which was reported by above, as well. I know I could turn certwatch off, but I like the warning as I have a few certs on different websites, domains and machines. How come certwatch is still complaining?
