Is inbound or outbound?

how to inject a kmod driver from elrepo into kickstart
by psavoie1783 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hi All, I have a marvel chipset for my wired laptop connection. It uses the kmod-sk98lin-10.93.3.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm driver at elrepo. I would like to use this driver to activate the wired connection to kickstart my laptop as I have pxe booting set upon my home network. Could anyone please enlighten me as to how to get the drivers/firmware from this package loaded on my laqptop so I can use kickstart to load the OS, please? Thank you for your time, Phil -- To err, is human To never grow up, is divine

Automated LSI card management.
by Grant Keller 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hello, I am trying to come up with a way to auto add new servers deployed with LSI raid cards to the MegaRaid Software management server. From the gui, it looks like I can add them by IP manually, or have the control server scan for hosts with the MegaRaid client software, which only works if the host is on the same network. Anybody ever work with this software and done something like this? -- Grant Keller Sonic.net System Operations

Story of an email
by Timothy Murphy 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

I'm running postfix + dovecot on my CentOS server, together with amavisd, clamd and spamassassin, following the instructions in <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix>. As far as I can see it is all working, but I must admit I'm not clear exactly what path an incoming email travels along. I asked this question before, and someone suggested a document I should read, but unfortunately I've mislaid the note I made at the time. So if someone could enlighten me - or point to a source of enlightenment - I should be most grateful. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

kvm: vm root fs becomes ro
by Paul Heinlein 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

I've a the following happen a couple times now, and my internet searches are failing to locate an answer to the problem. We've got a few servers that primarily house VMs using KVM. They've got E-3 cpus and 32 GB RAM, and they run stock CentOS 6.4, fully patched (not yet migrated to 6.5). The VM disk images are housed on an NFS server. None of the VMs is particularly resource-hungry. They run a variety of Linux distros: CentOS 5/6, Debian 6/7. I'll start to see the VMs fail to write files to their local filesytems. No machine in the chain has rebooted or been updated in any significant way, but the root filesystem is off-limits. (This will happen on just one of our servers; the other VM platforms run without issue.) In /var/log/messages, I'll see the following entry for each impacted VM: <date> <host> kernel: kvm: <pid>: cpu0 disabled perfctr wrmsr: 0xc1 data 0xabcd In /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm-name>.log, I'll see block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Stale file handle (116) Oddly, the underlying host might be running, say, five VMs, but only four of them will get the log messages, and show the read-only symptoms, while the fifth just keeps chugging along. Googling suggests that the "disabled perfctr wrmsr" message is harmless, but my experience suggests otherwise. Any hints, workarounds, or relevent information is very welcome.

Thanks on 6.5
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hey, Johnny et al, Thanks for the hard work, and quick followup to upstream. What's especially nice for us, and for other folks using CentOS at US federal gov't agencies, is that finally, the stock ssh-agent works seamlessly with pkcs11 and PIV/CAC cards, which is being required across the board. We'd been building our own openssh pieces... (and it was my manager that pushed that enhancement through a RH request <g>) mark

Problem upgrading from CentOS 6.4 to 6.5
by Gilbert Sebenste 02 Dec '13

Hello everyone, I had an issue with one of three servers upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5. It did not have the CR repo enabled. It failed dueing install, but I didn't catch the error (bad, bad, I know). OK, so it told me to run yum-complete transaction. After going through and figuring out what it had to do, it stops with this error: (etc, etc...) --> Processing Dependency: pkgconfig(ORBit-2.0) for package: libbonobo-devel-2.24.2-5.el6.i686 --> Processing Dependency: ORBit2-devel >= 2.7.5 for package: libbonobo-devel-2.24.2-5.el6.i686 ---> Package libgnomecanvas-devel.i686 0:2.26.0-4.el6 will be erased ---> Package polkit-docs.i686 0:0.96-5.el6_4 will be erased --> Processing Dependency: polkit-docs = 0.96-5.el6_4 for package: polkit-devel-0.96-5.el6_4.i686 --> Running transaction check ---> Package libbonobo-devel.i686 0:2.24.2-5.el6 will be erased ---> Package polkit-devel.i686 0:0.96-5.el6_4 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Trying to remove "yum", which is protected You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem ** Found 216 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: ModemManager-0.4.0-5.git20100628.el6.i686 is a duplicate with ModemManager-0.4.0-3.git20100628.el6.i686 1:NetworkManager-0.8.1-66.el6.i686 is a duplicate with 1:NetworkManager-0.8.1-61.el6_4.i686 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.8.1-66.el6.i686 is a duplicate with 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.8.1-61.el6_4.i68 (etc) Any ideas on how to fix this?

Kernel panic with VMware Workstation 8.0.6 and 6.5 kernel
by B.J. McClure 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

There is apparently a kernel bug that creates a kernel panic when starting a windows guest in vmware workstation. I have experienced this bug on two machines, both with workstation 8.0.6 but it has been reported with other versions as well: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2318686 . Booting kernel 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 instead of 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 resolves the issue. Just a heads up for those who may encounter it. Cheers, B.J.

too many groups for a user?
by Dirk Olmes 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hi, we're exporting a number of directories via samba shares. To manage access for individual users, the files are put into different groups, users who get access to the files will be put into the respective groups. It seems there's a limited number of groups that a user can be member of - googling around comes up with wildly different numbers from 16 up to 64k. The limit for CentOS seems to be around 32 ... can anyone confirm? Thanks, -dirk

Release Notes for 6.5 are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.5 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.5 is based on the upstream release EL 6.5 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. There are many fundamental changes in this release, compared with the past CentOS-6 releases, and we highly recommend everyone stufy the Release Notes as well as the upstream Techical Notes about the changes and how they might impact your installation. All updates released since upstream 6.5 release are also released to the CentOS-6.5 mirrors. Everyone who has centos-cr repositories enabled and in use, would already be running CentOs-6.5 as of one week ago and will notice only the centos-release rpm update today. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2 / 6.3 or 6.4 Unless you have edited your yum configs, a 'yum update' should move your machine seamlessly from any previous CentOS-6.x release to CentOS-6.5 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.5 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Usually its also the fastest means to download the distro. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1to2.t… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. We have also made efforts to try and ensure that most install types and roles can be run from DVD-1 itself. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.5 ISOS: i386: 67ea68068ae53d1f23431072ec0288b3e1abfe4d CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1.iso 70fe3b01ce8133fa7e6e7dbfcb9f1acdb1e9981f CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD2.iso 3cf41ef12362ad363ff0650c703d3d045bcbfa7a CentOS-6.5-i386-LiveCD.iso 73d6444e2576e1169035d2444f872ff622ed85b6 CentOS-6.5-i386-LiveDVD.iso 4f900bba81d0e3c5cc5354a94984ed2fa03d4061 CentOS-6.5-i386-minimal.iso e2e637dfbb08c04a478362733ee906ba9485771d CentOS-6.5-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: 32c7695b97f7dcd1f59a77a71f64f2957dddf738 CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 25e5de362ba6c75d793dbeb060b27ba1865cb5df CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 690ccc84926a46152543a3cad57d983c9004638d CentOS-6.5-x86_64-LiveCD.iso 3ac5eb9a6dcbf5f2b4cfd2432cccd84cd722840d CentOS-6.5-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso f21a71e8e31df73297bdd1ccd4a64a36831284bd CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso 3a9662cb65f9d59677d76acfdb73289da43b4599 CentOS-6.5-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ LiveCD and LiveDVD LiveCD and LiveDVD media is also released into the ISOS/ directory.

Re: [CentOS] Old hardware, newer kernels
by Andrew Holway 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

Unless you are just running some home server or something the general idea of servers is to provide uptime. Servers usually start dying after about 3 to 6 years* and, if you are trying to provide uptime, searching around on ebay for someone that has a PATA hard drive, DDR memory or some ancient pcix controller will severely dent this objective. I agree that its a shame that so much of this ends up in landfill. The fact that chassis are not normally immediately reusable is a tragedy in my eyes but running old, junk equipment is even more of a tragedy when it breaks and people are relying on it. *I work a lot in HPC where servers are hammered to death.

Old hardware, newer kernels
by Ashley M. Kirchner 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

I have an old server (old hardware) that's been running 6.4 with kernel 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686, no problem. Except, any kernel update after that causes it not to boot anymore. All I get is a blinking cursor on the screen, nothing else. Is this the end of this hardware, no more kernel updates after this? For reference, these are all the options that kernel is booting up with (lines wrapped on purpose): title CentOS (2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686 ro \ root=UUID=3f79e6b6-7845-499f-b708-aef782602673 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM \ rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 \ KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us noapic apm=off ide=nodma acpi=off \ crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet selinux=0 initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686.img

Multicast routing daemon

Filesystem labeling confusion or mess up
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Hi, I do have an iscsi storage with two raidsets. I'm logged in to the target and get two devices: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. After formatting the devices with ext4 I realised, that I had used a wrong label, so I tried to relabel the devices. But now I'm confused: doing a e2label /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc returns always the same label name for both devices. so I did "e2label /dev/sdb students" and "e2label /dev/sdc staff" and now mounting the devices shows the same filesystem under sdb and sdc! Looks like sdc (an empty device) is gone... Any suggestions or explanations? Thanks and best regards .

Machine check events
by Glenn Eychaner 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

On my new Haswell-based machines, I am occasionally seeing entries like the following in /var/log/messages: kernel: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged (I would not have even noticed them, except that they get flagged by logwatch.) These messages always occur alone, and don't seem to have a corresponding entry in any other log file in /var/log. How can I get more info about these messages?

Ultrabook for CentOS?
by Nux! 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hello, I need to buy an ultrabook. Any recommendations for something that would work out of the box more or less? I do not want a Chromebook (or anything ARM) or one of these new "touch" laptops, in fact I'm after a nice matte screen. Budget is modest-ish (£500/$800) so dont go crazy. :) Thanks! -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

nss_ldap loop sleeping after ...

Hi, I rebooted a old Centos 5 box and now its stuck in an ever increasing timeout loop; nss_ldap: reconnecting tl LDAP server (sleeping # seconds).... This happens before network services starts. Any one know how I can break out of this? I tried booting in single user mode from the grub menu but no dice, the thing keeps nss_ldap looping. Thanks in advance, - aurf

LSB Certification

Hey All, Could someone provide a URL to a page that states what LSB level RHEL/CentOS 6.4 is certified to. I'm looking to download a driver: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-WorkForce_1100 They offer a driver for LSB 3.1 or LSB 3.2. I'm hoping that one of those applies to CentOS 6.4. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Question on list of packages on centos 7
by Jerry Geis 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Is there a way to get a list of packages AND version of that package in centos/redhat 7? Perhaps from one a beta of 7 or something? I searched for "list of packages in redhat 7" and I can get a list but the list did not have any version information just the package name and description. Not off topic just "future" topic. Thanks, everyone have a great Thanksgiving! jerry

complicated svn, apache, krb5 and selinux problem
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

CentOS 6.4. We've got a subversion repo on a server. Currently, it's set to use krb5. Trouble is, the krb5.conf is set up to use pcscd authentication (using PIV cards). Whether anything else on the server needs it, it appears that when people issue certain svn commands (I haven't nailed down which), the thing tries to look at the pcscd.pid... and selinux complains that this is naughty. (We're in permissive mode.) I don't know deeply enough if anything else really needs to do this on the server, but I'd like to fix it so that doing svn stuff does *not* invoke that call. It *appears* if I comment out the pkinit_identities, we don't get the error (for obvious reasons). Ideally, I'd like to find some way to configure subversion - maybe in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf - so that it doesn't try that, but we *do* want it to do password krb5 authentication. Does this make sense? If so, is it do-able? mark, back at googling

Where Did The Disk Go???
by Gene Poole 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm running CentOS 5.9 x86_64 on a machine I built myself that has 6 SATA II hard drives (4 - 1 TB drives; 2 - 1.5 TB drives) all in several RAID-1 arrays. These arrays were created when I did the original installation with CentOS 5.1 and each created partition (both standard and LVM) were built raid 1. Due to some things happening around the house that required most of my attention, I saw some alerts concerning drive /dev/sdb but I didn't have time to address it and since I am running raid 1... One of the tings that happened was my home took a lightening strike and we were down for 4 days. When we got our electricity back and I brought the machine back up I noticed that there were only 5 drives listed and I wasn't getting any more alerts. What was /dev/sdb was no longer listed with any command (fdisk; cat /proc/mdstat; mdadm --list). I do have a spare drive and my questions are: Anyone know how I can find the serial number of the bad drive? Once replaced, what is the best way to get the partitions recreated? Thanks, Gene Poole

CLI speed tester for CentOS?
by Timothy Murphy 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'd like to run a CLI broadband speed tester on my CentOS server. I downloaded "tespeed" from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/>. This ran fine under Fedora-19, but failed under CentOS with the message "# reject large message", although from a quick look at the source it did not seem to be using a large test-file. Does anyone know of an alternative CLI speed-tester for CentOS? Or how to get this one to work under CentOS? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Most efficient way to create a CentOS 3 test VM
by Warren Young 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm about to create a new CentOS 3 VM for testing, since we still have a bunch of deployed machines running that OS. (Don't yell at me about using old OSes. These machines won't get "un-deployed" until they fall over dead of natural causes. Until the last one dies, we need test and build VMs around to service them.) I have the CentOS 3.9 *.iso files plus a local cache of RPMs against 3.9 that is probably incomplete relative to the vault[*]. It seems wasteful to install the last published version of the OS, then scp over my local update RPMs, freshen from those, *then* check with the vault for yet more updates. What I'm hoping for is some way to get a "CentOS 3.10", being 3.9 with the vault updates directory contents merged in. Is there a straightforward way to do that, or is schlepping around folders full of RPMs actually the best way to go? [*] http://vault.centos.org/3.9/updates/i386/RPMS/

Unsupported Hardware that works fine?
by Lists 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

I recently purchased a set of ASRock Intel i5 MB/CPU combos for a budget compute cluster. Every time we load up a system and try to boot with a recent EL6/64 ISO, we get a message that reads: > This hardware (or a combination thereof) is not supported by CentOS. For more > information on supported hardware, plesae refer to http://www.centos.org/hardware Not only does the hardware *seem* to work to expectations, but the url referenced goes to 404! Having loaded CentOS6 on many systems without ever seeing this message, I have to ask how to determine what might be triggering it and whether or not I should be concerned? Thanks

partitionless installation
by Халезов Иван 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello All! I have a lot of virtual machines with KVM hypervizor. For VM's disks I use LVM Volumes. It's more suitable to install virtual machines direct to the LV-volumes without making partition tables inside the LV. In this case it is very simple to perform online-resizing and mount snapshots in host system to perform backups. So, my question is: Is it possible to install CentOS 6 without disk partitioning? -- With best regards, Khalezov Ivan

Captive Portal
by Ken Smith 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi All, I'm trying to set up a Captive Portal using a Centos6 box. I've been experimenting with WiFiDog but it looks like development has faltered and I'm chasing my tail getting all the bits of PHP together for it to run. Some bits I've got look like Alpha code. What I'm trying to accomplish is a a simple firewall type system for a public WiFi, that redirects users to a Web page when they first connect, accepts some credentials such as an e-mail address and allows them access to the 'net. Other features like limiting the volume of download and some kind of porn filter would be good. Anyone doing anything like this care to share what they use. Many thanks Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication
by Timothy Murphy 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

I'd like to run SELinux on my CentOS server in enforcing mode, but I get the above message when I run sealert. I assume this is because I am accessing the server from my laptop? In any case, I googled for the message, and this threw up dozens of similar queries over many years. Most of the ones I read offered methods of avoiding the problem rather than solving it. Am I right in thinking the message arises from my remote connection? And if so, is there a simple solution? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

CentOS 6 : Network Interface Naming
by SilverTip257 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello All, I have one CentOS 6 KVM virtualization server that I built around a year ago (best I can tell it was in October 2012) at which time I would have been installing 6.3 [0]. That particular install used the Consistent Network Device Naming [1] conventions (PCIe NICs are p1p1, p1p2). I started to build out a new KVM virt server (kickstarting a 6.4 install now as compared to 6.3 back then) and the interface names are back to the old ethX convention for the PCIe NICs. See below for my snippets from udev persistent rules on the two hosts. I'm working off of [older] Dell PowerEdge 2950 hardware that has dual onboard Broadcom NICs and an additional Intel Dual GigE PCIe NIC. ** Did anyone but me notice this change/regression in network interface naming? ** Does anyone know if or why a change was made from what 6.3 or earlier apparently defaulted to? This is by no means a major problem, but it did make me wonder what caused or why there was a change. [Of course I can change interface names in the udev rules if I chose to.] Thanks for your feedback! ================== Snippets: # was 6.3 when initially installed, but has been updated to 6.4 since then ~]# cat /etc/*ele* CentOS release 6.4 (Final) CentOS release 6.4 (Final) CentOS release 6.4 (Final) cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA ~]# egrep -v '^$|^#' /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:22:19:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:22:19:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:15:17:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="p1p1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:15:17:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="p1p2" ~]# lspci | grep Ether 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 0c:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) 0c:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) # freshly installed 6.4 ~]# cat /etc/*ele* CentOS release 6.4 (Final) CentOS release 6.4 (Final) CentOS release 6.4 (Final) cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA ~]# egrep -v '^$|^#' /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:22:19:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:15:17:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:22:19:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:15:17:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" ~]# lspci | grep Ether 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) 08:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) [0] https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/3078 [1] https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux… -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

It only works after the command : # echo 0 > /selinux/enforce I tried this semanage command: # semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t /usr/bin/xauth but it makes no difference. The message I'm now seeing in /var/log/audit/audit.log : type=AVC msg=audit(1385112688.399:67769): avc: denied { write } for pid=8218 comm="xauth" name="caw" dev=md1 ino=262145 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1385112688.399:67769): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7fffdecf5c60 a1=c1 a2=180 a3=8 items=0 ppid=8217 pid=8218 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=9 comm="xauth" exe="/usr/bin/xauth" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Can anybody help me overcome this without disabling Selinux? Many thanks. Greetings, J. -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Opensource Software is the future.

Google Chrome
by Michael B Allen 25 Nov '13

I have been using CentOS on my laptop for a few days now and it works great! Great work-around for the Fedora GNOME 3 debacle. But I'm starting to miss Google Chrome pretty seriously. Firefox is just not what it once was. It's slow. Spell check is weak. Sometimes it straight up fails to display pages after going "back". There are numerous details like this that just make FF almost intolerable. And based on current browser usage statistics I don't think I'm the only one who sees the difference which means the problem is only going to get worse. Unfortunately Chrome is not available for CentOS 6.4: Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-31.0.1650.57-1.x86_64 (google-chrome) Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)(64bit) This page [http://www.muktware.com/2013/02/google-says-red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-is-o…] claims: "Chrome, the browser in question here, is based on the open source project Chromium. Chromium developers seems to prefer the new C++11 for the obvious security reasons and ease of maintenance but it also means adopting a new toolchain and upgrading to GCC 4.6. This makes it hard to support those operating systems that ship with older C++ standard libraries. RHEL 6, among many others, is one such operating system." What is the safest path out of this problem? I am not particularly excited about running a package from a small third party. Particularly a browser. Is this situation really that bad? Mike

Yes. It arises from your ssh connection. You are probably using the -Y or -X option with xauth. > And if so, is there a simple solution? Perhaps. The error you have is caused by one of two things: 1. incorrect SELinux settings on the ~/.Xauthority file or your home directory. Run restorcon -vR ~ to fix those. 2. incorrect ownership or permissions on ~/.Xauthority. The second condition can also be triggered by logging in via ssh as one user and su -l to another on the remote host. In my case I find that the second circumstance is the most frequent cause of the exact error you report. HTH -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Re: [CentOS] Any experience with lanner appliances?

From: Steve Clark <sclark(a)netwolves.com> > We have about 1000 FW-7535s (replaced by FW-7541) deployed using > CentOS 6.x. I finally chose to go with the microserver... I have a hard time finding a simple price for the lanner appliance (without having to fill some huge forms to get a quotation...) And last time, when I did find one price, it was more than $800 which feels too much for some "above average soho router like hardware". Thank you both for the info,JD

MultiTech MT5634ZBA usb modems
by Gregory P. Ennis 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Everyone, I have a centos 5.10 machine set up to be a fax server using hylafax+ with three multitech MT5634ZBA modems. I am still in the testing phase of using this system for production, and during my tests I have detected a problem I have not been able to solve except for unplugging the modem from the usb port and plugging it back into the usb port. In the middle of a fax production of around 1,000 faxes the ttyACM0 device becomes disabled and disappears. I have only had this happen twice so I have not collected sufficient data to figure out what is happening. When I remotely reboot the os, the system comes up and ignores the modem that has become faulty, and of course ttyACM0 is assigned to a different modem. Has anyone had problems with the MT5634SBA modems, and if so what modems would you recommend by way of replacements. Is there a way to turn off a usb port so that I could power down the modem remotely, and then bring it back up. I think if I could do this, remotely, I may be able to save the use of these modems. Otherwise, I am going to be required to have someone unplug the modem and plug it back in to reset it in order to make it work. hylafax+ seems to be working fine, it just reports that the modem has become inaccessible. Any ideas? Thanks much, Greg Ennis

Postfix relay on Comcast
by Lists 24 Nov '13

How to get postfix working on CentOS 6 and Comcast. Recently, they've changed their policies regards email relay and require authentication even to send email. (they no longer use IP address ranges, presumably in an attempt to curb outgoing SPAM) I didn't see an updated howto anywhere on the Interwebs, thought I'd point out what I had to do. The part that had me stumped for longer than I care to admit was having to install cyrus-sasl-plain rpm - EL5 apparently had that installed as part of the cyrus-sasl package. 1) yum install postfix cyrus-sasl-plain; # note that cyrus-sasl-plain is NOT installed by default but is needed by this config. 2) Create file /etc/postfix/passwords. Replace "USERNAME" with your user name, and "password" with your password. Note: your username is typically your email address without the domain name. #---------------------------- smtp.comcast.net:587 USERNAME:password smtp.comcast.net USERNAME@comcast.net:password #---------------------------- 3) makemap passwords; 4) Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf #---------------------------- relayhost = [smtp.comcast.net]:587 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/passwords # note that with no security options on, we're using sasl-plain installed above. smtp_sasl_security_options = # You might need this, you may not. #sender_canonical_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/sender_rewrite #---------------------------- 5) Create file /etc/postfix/sender_rewrite. Note that not all Comcast customers need this, I didn't when I authenticated as above. Obviously, replace "USERNAME" with your user name. #---------------------------- /^([^@]*)@.*$/ USERNAME(a)comcast.net #---------------------------- 6) service postfix stop; sleep 5; service postfix start
