RHEL clone distributions being marginalized?
by David C. Miller 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

It appears that Redhat is starting to offer newer packages as an add on license to their distribution. In the past I believe they only offered add on license packages beyond what did not come with the base distribution like GFS or the HA packages. Of course this has also changed over time. The latest beta release of software collections and the developer suite shows that they are providing software channels that install newer versions of GCC(4.8), Python(2.7, 3.3), PHP, perl, mariadb, etc. I'm wondering if at some point Redhat is going to remove these packages from the base distribution and only have them as add on licensed channels. I guess they still need a baseline version that will stay the same for the customers who refuse to update for compatibility reasons. At this point the developer suite is a pretty good deal because you get RHEL server with most of the licensed add on channels for only $99 a year. However, you're not suppose to use it for production.. Is there a plan for the CentOS group to release these newer packages too? If these packages start being used by developers and required to run their programs/web apps I think it could marginalize RHEL clone distributions like CentOS. David.

IPv4 192.168.71.1 'leaks out onto WAN.
by James B. Byrne 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Arch = x86_64 OS = CentOS-6.4 (centos) with all updates applied to date. On our gateway host eth0 is the WAN access and eth1 is the LAN. I wish to activate the address 192.185.71.1 on eth1. The ifcfg-eth1:192071 file contains this: NAME="" BOOTPROTO=none MACADDR="" IPV6INIT=no DEVICE=eth1:192071 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 MTU="" BROADCAST=192.168.71.255 ONPARENT=no IPADDR=192.168.71.1 NETWORK=192.168.71.0 ONBOOT=no When I try ifup to activate the address then I see this: # ifup eth1:192071 Error, some other host already uses address 192.168.71.1. I investigated what that host could be using nmap -v -APn 192.168.71.1/32 and discovered that my gateway host is allowing 192.168.71.0 out through eth0 onto the WAN (and presumably anything else that it originates). Presently we masquerade 192.168.0.0/16 in a NAT POSTROUTING chain which handles the internal hosts seeking addresses on the WAN. However, I am unsure of how to handle the gateway itself. Is this situation best handled by a permanent route reflecting 192.168 to eth1 only? Or, is it handled better by an addition to the OUTPUT chain in the NAT IPTable? Or, is the best method something else entirely of which I am unaware? Any suggestions? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Hello all, this is what happens when I attempt to ping both search engines: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/168484871 One has 100% packet loss, the other none. Here is my route -n: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/219711338 Also, this is my iptables -L output: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2102713387 This is a 64-bit virtual machine running on Azure, OpenLogic CentOS 6.3. If more info is needed, I'll gladly provide it, but I don't understand why I can't ping google... very weird...

Facebook group needs help with newbie member questions
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hi all. A represent Official CentOS group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2371797727/ Recently we have grown to 3.240+ members, and it looks like we are now more visible since we reached 3000+ members. In last 7 days we had 131 new members ~19 per day, mostly newbie's with problems. Since I am only active admin/knowledgeable person in the group, I am under big load. Karanbir and Ralph try to help, but I am mostly alone "out there" So if any of you are willing to answer to newbie questions and maybe add to our howto documents, you are more then welcome. Be warned that it is imperative to be polite to them, since Facebook users are more spoiled then others, but I think it is one of the best way to popularize CentOS among the newbie population that is deciding what distro to choose for it's main distro. Just sending them to wiki, forums or here is not really an option since most of them will not bother with registering, they would most likely just find some inadequate howto on the net, mainly not even for rpm distro but explaining how to manually download and compile packages :-/ Again, I believe that grooming newbie's on Facebook can be great for CentOS popularization, since General Linux group has 36.000+ members (and 244 new members in last 7 days at the moment). I can not offer you admin status, but those well known to CentOS team can be promoted by Karanbir. -- -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant

selinux
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 07 Jun '13

Two issues: first, I've noticed a number of times that selinux is there, which we usually have in permissive, but setroubleshoot is *not* installed. Is there be some kind of dependency or group that it should be part of that's missing? I don't see why I need to manually install it.... Second - and I thought I knew the answer to this, but guess I don't - I see AVC's in the log file, but no sealerts - how do I start it up to give me them in messages? I see auditd is running.... mark

Cannot get Centrino N 6200 wireless NIC to work Cento 6.4
by Selwyn Schultz Sr 06 Jun '13

I installed Centos 6.4 on my laptop and neither of the network interfaces will work. When I boot up to windows both the wired and the wireless network interfaces work. I have attached dmesg output for the wireless card. Reading through the messages it appears that OS cannot talk to the NIC. -- Selwyn Schultz selwynsr(a)gmail.com c. 616-836-8896
