I figured if the asker was really that anxious for 'latest and greatest' to test, let them get a taste of it. I also inferred 'newer software to test' to mean it would not be going on a production machine. (I'm not sure why Thunderbird sent the last one to your email instead of the list. Sorry.)

smartctl: is my disc dying?
by Bob Hepple 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

I've got a 1Tb USB disc that appears to be dying - eg it took about 10 days (!) to run 'badblocks -nsv /dev/sdc' and it only did less than 2% in that time. Read access became _really_ slow. So there's definitely something amiss and I've got it offline. There's no drama about the content as I have other backups and I'm resigned to junking the thing, but I'm curious about the fact that smartctl doesn't seem to report any errors. I tried a short and a long test but nothing in there seems to be alarming - in fact it says PASSED!! - but the output is pretty opaque and maybe I've been foxed by ambiguity. Anyone care to comment on it?

Using ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card with Centos 6.5
by H 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I have a ATI Radeon X1300 video card installed in a ThinkPad Advanced Docking Station where the laptop runs Centos 6.5. Upon Googling it seems that Centos 6.4 broke compatibility with the kmod-fglrx-legacy driver and that the only way around it is to downgrade X to an older version. However, the last note seems to be from before summer and I was hoping that there might have been some additional work done and it could now be used with Centos 6.5. I am not too keen on downgrading stuff since I am a relative newcomer to Linux... Does anyone have any information? Thanks.

nfs home dir, wlan/vpn, network manager
by Darod Zyree 27 Jan '14

Is network manager available during Gnome login? Users (using laptops etc) need to authenticate and login having their home directory on NFS using autofs. However this is not possible when there is no valid network connection present; either using Wireless LAN or VPN

Booting problem after update, how to track order of starting services
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi. I have updated system/server that worked for a long time. It was upgrade from 6.4 to latest. After restart, system freezes after most/all of the daemons are booted. From interactive mode I found out that services starting are: ... ... atd jexec atieventsd libvirtd certmonger libvirt-guests local nxsensor nxserver webmin As soon as I allow webmin to pass, system freezes. BUT, if I stop after nxserver, and leave booting process at question weather to start webmin, and I login via SSH, I can start webmin. Question is how I find out what comes after webmin service. /var/log/messages is not written to, and I do not see anything in /var/log/boot.log System can operate normally if I leave it like that, I can even log-in via NX. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Question on iptables
by Jerry Geis 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I have a rule in iptables to drop certain packets from addresses, like: iptables --list | grep 37 DROP all -- 37.0.0.0/8 anywhere So I am wondering how this got through??? [Jan 27 02:36:52] NOTICE[9298][C-000005ce] chan_sip.c: Call from '' ( 37.8.28.217:10024) to extension '888888011972592871997' rejected because extension not found in context 'default' Shouldn't the firewall have dropped it? Thanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] UC smartctl: is my disc dying?
by Rushton Martin 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I've seen similar cases where a USB drive appears to fail but the SMART reports success. The most recent was a 500 GB disk which had internally a Seagate Barracuda SATA drive. It appeared to work well until I sent it a largish (7GB) tarball. As well as SMART I ran a surface check and exercise, all passed. The tar kept failing. I can't test further, the disk has been broken up for destruction, but I wonder if the problem is the disk or the USB/SATA conversion board? If there is some sort of buffer in the interface that is filling, then the behaviour you describe makes sense.

Repodata filename problem in CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso ?
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

Originally posted as "Problem installing Centos 6.4/6.5 from USB stick seen as HDD by BIOS" Further testing seems to indicate there is some odd issue with the file names in the repodata directory. During installation, after the partitioning stage, anaconda logs an error trying to access the file repodata/0dafccfdbf892f02acca8267ade4bdcee7280a682e65dc7e29145f3341fd7a8c-primary.sqlite.bz2 checking the USB drive as well as the downloaded ISO shows that the file is named repodata/0dafccfdbf892f02acca8267ade4bdcee7280a682e65dc7e29145f3341fd7a8c It seems that the filenames are truncated after the first dash e.g. b4e0b9342ef85d3059ff095fa7f140f654c2cb492837de689a58c581207d9632 should be b4e0b9342ef85d3059ff095fa7f140f654c2cb492837de689a58c581207d9632-c6-x86_64-comps.xml Renaming the files on the USB drive according to the information in repodata/TRANS.TBL appear to fix the problem and anaconda was able to proceed to package selection. The DVD ISO checksum is correct. I also compared the checksum files from another server in case the mirror I used had an outdated/bad version. Is the problem with the ISO, or is anaconda supposed to had figured out the filename based on TRANS.TBL but not doing so. The problem originally started with a C6.4 install but I've wiped that ISO so am unable to verify if the cause is the same.

EPEL problem
by Phil Dobbin 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

Hi, all. I'm trying to install the EPEL repo on a fully up to date CentOS 6.4. I'm using wget to download from my usual source but after I install it via `sudo rpm -ivh epel-xxxxx` it's not actually there in `/etc/yum.repos.d`. Trying to install it again, Yum just tells me it's already installed. I've no idea where it is installed if it is (which I don't think it is) so I'm stumped. Any help appreciated.

Both C6 and C5's /etc/php.ini have disable_functions = Neither C5 nor C6 /etc/php.ini have your list of dangerous PHP functions. One wonders why not, if they are so dangerous. 2. In your list you have 'mail' which I consider an essential PHP command in a production environment. 3. I'm willing to add your suggestions to php.ini except for three. 4. I'm puzzled how hackers can break-in to use all those functions in your list. Can you elaborate please? Mfg / best regards, Paul. -- Paul. England, EU. Our systems are exclusively Linux.

Permissions for LAMP
by Joseph Hesse 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

I am running a Lamp server on a CentOS 6.5 box. It works fine, I am concerned that I may have the wrong file/dir permissions. The directories /var and /var/www are root:root and 755. For /var/www/html and all directories underneath I have apache:apache and 770. For all files under /var/www/html I have apache:apache and 660. Are these these permissions OK? Thank you, Joe

python updates
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

I wasn't paying much attention, but I remember a day or two ago, someone was complaining about python updates. From the RH alerts... <snip> This update fixes the following bug: * Previously, the dependencies between the Python subpackages were set erroneously and caused problems with the inclusion of i686 multilib packages in the x86_64 channels. After this update, the dependencies have been resolved and the Python packages install as expected. (BZ#1033111) All users of python are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. --- which I think was explicitly the problem.... mark

NIC Throwing errors I dont understand

I am having an issue where eth1 is throwing some messages and stops responding. Restarting networking doesn't work and also just bringing down eth1 with 'ifdown' doesn't fix it. I have never seen anything like these messages: eth1: no IPv6 routers present r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_chipcmd_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 100). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phy_reset_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 1). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: link up [root@mail jtsm]# lspci | grep -i net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Can't install Python i686 on x86_64 system (centos 6.5)
by Brian Bernard 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hello, This is my first time posting to the list adn I've run into a problem trying to install python-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 on my x86_64 bit system, which I updated to CentOS 6.5 this evening. I receive the following error: error: Failed dependencies: libpython2.6.so.1.0 is needed by python-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 python-libs(x86-32) = 2.6.6-51.el6 is needed by python-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 libpython2.6.so.1.0 is needed by python-devel-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 Now I've downloaded the python and python-devel i686 versions from a mirror and tried to install locally with 'sudo rpm -Uvh python-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 python-devel-2.6.6-51.el6.i686', but I always receive the same error. I tried 'sudo yum install python-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 python-devel-2.6.6-51.el6.i686 with again the same error. Brian Bernard

Re: [CentOS] Problem installing Centos 6.4/6.5 from USB stick seen as HDD by BIOS

On 1/23/14, Steve Clark <sclark(a)netwolves.com> wrote: > can you use -o remount in the mount command? For some odd reason, my current attempt to do this had no problem mounting the install USB drive. Which then led me to realize that the problem is something else. After figuring out where anaconda keeps log, I found that the error isn't that it couldn't find the drive. Rather, it couldn't find the file: media/repodata/0dafccfdbf892f02acca8267ade4bdcee7280a682e65dc7e29145f3341fd7a8c-primary.sqlite.bz2 (the target machine doesn't have network so there might be typo in the filename due to manual copy) listing the USB drive shows that the repodata directory has the file BUT missing the -primary.sqlite.bz2 extension. In fact, none of the human-unfriendly file names have any extension. In case it was an error transferrring the ISO to USB, I checked the ISO and found that the repodata directory appears the same. In comparison, browsing online mirrors such as http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/CentOS/6.5/os/x86_64/repodata/ shows all the similar looking files have extensions. But the ISO's md5/sha1 checksums are correct. Based on the information in TRANS.TBL, I added the extensions to the files and anaconda was able to proceed to the package selection. I will start a new email to check if there is a problem with the ISO on mirrors.

Problem installing Centos 6.4/6.5 from USB stick seen as HDD by BIOS
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 23 Jan '14

23 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?

ipmi_si error on booting
by Timothy Murphy 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

I'm getting the (unintelligible to me) error message ipmi_si: Could not set up I/O space ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address Range when I try to boot any OS on the grub menu apart from the one I last installed. (Actually, Windows also boots properly.) I wonder if anyone has had this error message, and worked out where it comes from? I googled for it, and it has come up many times; but there seem to be several entirely different suggested causes. I am running CentOS-6.5 on an HP MicroServer. I mention that as some of the explanations suggest that it only occurs on certain machines. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

by Jerry Geis 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi all, I issued the commands on a single disk system: with two partitions / is linux sda1 and /home is sda3 yum -y update yum -y install e4fsprogs reboot umount /home tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda3 e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/sda3 That worked just fine. I then had a different system that is software raid. where / is linux and md0 and /home is md1 yum -y update yum -y install e4fsprogs reboot umount /home tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/md1 at this point I get an error that invalid options for tune2fs Why is that and what to do next... The single disk sda3 worked fine. shouldnt the md1 work also. Thanks, Jerry

XFS : Taking the plunge
by Steve Brooks 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi All, I have been trying out XFS given it is going to be the file system of choice from upstream in el7. Starting with an Adaptec ASR71605 populated with sixteen 4TB WD enterprise hard drives. The version of OS is 6.4 x86_64 and has 64G of RAM. This next part was not well researched as I had a colleague bothering me late on Xmas Eve that he needed 14 TB immediately to move data to from an HPC cluster. I built an XFS file system straight onto the (raid 6) logical device made up of all sixteen drives with. > mkfs.xfs -d su=512k,sw=14 /dev/sda where "512k" is the Stripe-unit size of the single logical device built on the raid controller. "14" is from the total number of drives minus two (raid 6 redundancy). Any comments on the above from XFS users would be helpful! I mounted the filesystem with the default options assuming they would be sensible but I now believe I should have specified the "inode64" mount option to avoid all the inodes will being stuck in the first TB. The filesystem however is at 87% and does not seem to have had any issues/problems. > df -h | grep raid /dev/sda 51T 45T 6.7T 87% /raidstor Another question is could I now safely remount with the "inode64" option or will this cause problems in the future? I read this below in the XFS FAQ but wondered if it have been fixed (backported?) into el6.4? ""Starting from kernel 2.6.35, you can try and then switch back. Older kernels have a bug leading to strange problems if you mount without inode64 again. For example, you can't access files & dirs that have been created with an inode >32bit anymore."" I also noted that "xfs_check" ran out of memory and so after some reading noted that it is reccommended to use "xfs_repair -n -vv" instead as it uses far less memory. One remark is so why is "xfs_check" there at all? I do have the option of moving the data elsewhere and rebuilding but this would cause some problems. Any advice much appreciated. Steve

You can try running the machine with the kernel option "pcie_aspm=off" and see if that helps and also try to disable C-States or Power Saving all together in the BIOS.

The network device hung because it tried to go into power saving mode using ASPM and it failed and whole servers locked-up after being idle for a while because of a bug in Intel Processors regarding the deeper power saving modes (C-States) although these are supposed to be fixed since 6.3. Hope this helps. Regards, Dennis

Apache Directory Level access control
by James B. Byrne 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

CentOS-6.5 httpd-2.2.15 (centos) I am trying to understand how directory access control works in Apache-2.2. Does a means exist to revoke access in a subdirectory if access has been granted in a higher one? We restrict access to the entire site via htdigest but some directories are need to be further restricted by the group a user is assigned to. I have this situation: <Directory /> AuthType Digest AuthName ca.harte-lyne AuthDigestDomain / AuthDigestProvider file AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/access.d/.htdigest AuthGroupFile /var/data/hll_dav/htgroup Require group staff AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all Satisfy All Options Indexes MultiViews IndexOptions FancyIndexing AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 </Directory> <Directory /Private> Require group management </Directory> In this setup a member of group staff who is not a member of group management nonetheless can list and download files in /Private. I want to prevent this. Is this possible and if so then how is this done? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

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?

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? Is there a way to make things work? - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

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

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?

Network card throwing messages I dont understand
by Jason T. Slack-Moehrle 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

I am having an issue where eth1 is throwing some messages and stops responding. Restarting networking doesn't work and also just bringing down eth1 with 'ifdown' doesn't fix it. I have never seen anything like these messages: eth1: no IPv6 routers present r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_chipcmd_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 100). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phy_reset_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 1). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: link up [root@mail jtsm]# lspci | grep -i net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

CentOS Bug Tracker - Merge with Upstream?
by Jorge Fábregas 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi, Is the CentOS Bug Tracker going to be replaced by the upstream one (bugzilla.redhat.com)? I think it would make sense to have just one place to report bugs against RHEL, Fedora & CentOS. Regards, Jorge

rkhunter
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

I updated java-1.7.0-openjdk a few hours ago - it *was* listed as a critical security update, and I don't want yelling from rkhunter. The man page tells me I can tell it rkhunter --propupd <package name>... but it doesn't know the name above as a package. Been googling a bit, and cannot find a good example of a package (other than the manpage's coreutil). Anyone got an example, and/or why it doesn't know this package? mark

Fantastic news! CentOS and RHEL have been mutually beneficial projects for years.
