Does LibreOffice need to be patched to remove upstream "supplied by" text?
by Greg Bailey 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

I just noticed that if I click "Help / About" in LibreOffice Writer (and likely other LibreOffice apps), I see: This release was supplied by Red Hat, Inc. Copyright (C) 2000 - 2013 LibreOffice contributors and/or their affiliates LibreOffice was based on OpenOffice.org I know several packages are patched to remove ambiguity as to who supplied the package; should this be one of them? thanks, Greg

quota and selinux on centos 6.5
by EljiUdia 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi, I'm facing a challenge with selinux and because I don't got an explanation elsewhere, I'm trying to explain here. I have decided to mount /var/spool/cron on a separate partition and apply quota for regular users. But quotacheck replyes with a "permission denied" . quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile /var/spool/cron/aquota.user.new: Permission denied quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Permission denied Indeed, files in that directory has a context witch denies quotacheck process to write files. To became suitable fo quota, those files (aquota.user and aquota.group) must have quota_db_t type(in context). If I use restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user , it reports that is no default context for that file. [root@CentOS active]# touch /var/spool/cron/aquota.user [root@CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/ [root@CentOS active]# ls -lZ /var/spool/cron/ -rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_cron_spool_t:s0 aquota.user [root@CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user restorecon: Warning no default label for /var/spool/cron/aquota.user Semanage reports this [root@CentOS active]# semanage fcontext -l|grep quota /a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /boot/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /etc/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /sbin/quota(check|on) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/convertquota regular file system_u:object_r:quota_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/quota_nld regular file system_u:object_r:quota_nld_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/rpc\.rquotad regular file system_u:object_r:rpcd_exec_t:s0 /var/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /var/lib/openshift/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /var/lib/quota(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:quota_flag_t:s0 /var/lib/stickshift/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /var/run/quota_nld\.pid regular file system_u:object_r:quota_nld_var_run_t:s0 /var/spool/(.*/)?a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 Take a look on the last file . Isn't a default context for /var/spool/cron/aquota.user ?It looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703871 What's your opinion? Elji Udia

Amavisd start
by Jussi Hirvi 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

This is CentOS 6. Why can it be that when I try to run /etc/init.d/amavisd start ... I get this error: Starting Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): Config file "/etc/amavisd.conf" is inaccessible: Permission denied, at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 2085. [FAILED] But when I use sh: sh /etc/init.d/amavisd start ...it starts ok. This is connected to the fact that my amavisd.conf is from another machine (CentOS 5). If I replace amavisd.conf with the default conf (that came with yum install amavisd-new), the starting problem goes away. I would like to debug this, but I don't know where to look. - Jussi

Reindl, please understand I have a purely technical issue I'm trying to get an answer to. We all know you're a smart guy. So perhaps you could help by staying with the topic. Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] Serial Console Config in 6.5

According to the comments in /etc/init/serial.conf you shouldn't have a /etc/init/ttyS0.conf or do anything to /etc/securetty. This is all handled automatically. You just add 'console=tty0 console=ttySX,YZ' to the kernel line in grub and that's it. I did it like this a couple of days ago on 6.5. Works as advertised for me but I have never used a serial console before. -Michael

Log rolling with a daemon
by Larry Martell 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

I'm looking for advice or suggestions for rolling log files with a daemon. I have a python script that I daemonized with http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python/. Before I daemonized it it was run from a bash script that invoked the underlying python script. It ran the python script, waited for it to complete and then it slept for 5 seconds and ran it again. This was in a infinite loop. In between each invocation it checked the log file and if it was over 10MB it renamed it and then the next invocation started with a new empty log. Since each invocation was a separate run this worked fine. But now the daemonized python script doesn't exit - the same log file is attached to it forever. So my renaming of the file does nothing - the i node doesn't change and it's still logging to the same large file. Anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this sort of log rolling in this situation? TIA! -lrry
