Hi all, There are many packages in centos. Does there exist a "listing" of packages that have the dual licensing? By dual license I mean packages not just GPL licensing in a commercial setting. Thanks, Jerry

Server test suite
by Russell Miller 01 May '09

01 May '09

Hi, I have an interest in software that will allow me to define test suites for servers. We have several thousand Linux systems, and after we build or rebuild each one, we have a checklist. I am trying to automate this checklist, and ideally have it run against all of our servers on a regular basis and report inconsistencies. Is anyone aware of open-source software that will do this, or do I need to write my own? --Russell

Defaults of CentOS Install not working with SELinux
by Dan Roberts 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Following a hard drive corruption I have reinstalled the latest version of CentOS and all current patch files. For most applications I selected the default options. By doing this I expected that the packages would play nice with one another and I could customize as necessary. Setting SELinux to enforce I encountered all sorts of problems - but most were resolvable, save for Dovecot, Procmail (for spamc), and an odd one with Apache. Given that these were all installed with the CentOS install defaults, I can't believe I am the only one with these issues but finding a solution has not been self evident. Hoping someone here can help. For Dovecot I get the following: SELinux is preventing dovecot (dovecot_t) "create" to <Unknown> (dovecot_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l e1b070ab-586a-4c5a-befe-b6a46b9ab992 For procmail I get the following: SELinux is preventing procmail (procmail_t) "execute" to ./spamc (spamc_exec_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 0a554689-4948-4edf-9964-dddbfe6a2492 SELinux is preventing sh (procmail_t) "read" to ./spamc (spamc_exec_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 1f1ebd83-412d-4e93-a36f-6f3d34c663df For Apache it's even more strange - When started I get: Syntax error on line 283 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf DocumentRoot must be directory But it is a directory, has the correct permissions and I have even run chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /web/www/ in an effort to correct the problem. I run a virtual server too, and in trying to find a fix for this that may be a problem - but first things first. All the other issues I had I could resolve when I ran the specified "sealert" tag and followed the suggested instructions - but those above don't budge. When I go to the fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-fq- fc5 site to take on making a local policy module I am quickly getting lost . The option to simply disable SElinux with respect to Apache, Dovecote or anything else is suggested - but not something I see in the GUI window, and I have not figured out how to do it from the command line. Again, because these are default packages, I hope that someone else knows how to resolve these. With respect to the to reports from SELinux regarding Dovecot and promail, here is a bit more info: The info and Raw Audit message for dovecot_t is: Source Context system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 Target Objects None [ socket ] Source dovecot Source Path /usr/sbin/dovecot Port <Unknown> Host trailrunner Source RPM Packages dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-203.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name catchall Host Name trailrunner Platform Linux trailrunner 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 10:38:05 EDT 2009 i686 athlon Alert Count 2 First Seen Wed Apr 29 15:39:51 2009 Last Seen Wed Apr 29 15:47:31 2009 Local ID e1b070ab-586a-4c5a-befe-b6a46b9ab992 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=trailrunner type=AVC msg=audit(1241041651.976:33): avc: denied { create } for pid=3884 comm="dovecot" scontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 tclass=socket host=trailrunner type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1241041651.976:33): arch=40000003 syscall=102 success=no exit=-13 a0=1 a1=bf851070 a2=9e45030 a3=3e1 items=0 ppid=3883 pid=3884 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="dovecot" exe="/usr/sbin/dovecot" subj=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 key=(null) The Raw Audit Message for Procmail is: Source Context system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:spamc_exec_t:s0 Target Objects ./spamc [ file ] Source procmail Source Path /usr/bin/procmail Port <Unknown> Host trailrunner Source RPM Packages procmail-3.22-17.1.el5.centos Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-203.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name catchall_file Host Name trailrunner Platform Linux trailrunner 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 10:38:05 EDT 2009 i686 athlon Alert Count 29 First Seen Wed Apr 29 15:40:40 2009 Last Seen Wed Apr 29 16:25:40 2009 Local ID 0a554689-4948-4edf-9964-dddbfe6a2492 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=trailrunner type=AVC msg=audit(1241043940.918:166): avc: denied { execute } for pid=3344 comm="procmail" name="spamc" dev=dm-0 ino=18762675 scontext=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:spamc_exec_t:s0 tclass=file host=trailrunner type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1241043940.918:166): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=no exit=-13 a0=8ef1d90 a1=8ef1020 a2=8ef32d8 a3=1 items=0 ppid=3343 pid=3344 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=12 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=12 sgid=12 fsgid=12 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="procmail" exe="/usr/bin/procmail" subj=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0 key=(null)

Directory and File Perms
by Joseph L. Casale 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

I have a directory shared out via Samba for Quickbooks and seem to have some issues with permissions. The directory being shared is a subdirectory in an ext3 partition being mounted with the acl option. It has been setup as follows: chown root:DOMAIN\AD_Group /mnt/Intuit_Data/ chmod 2770 /mnt/Intuit_Data/ And the Samba share config is has: create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 So when a user creates a file from their Windows box through Explorer or any other app, it gets perms as you might expect: -rw-rw---- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 0 Apr 29 14:24 test.txt and it can be deleted by anyone. Problem is QB uses gamin and this file monitoring daemon runs as root and all sorts of changes take place as you work with the data, from creating the company file to editing it in QB, it ends up slowly changing to 0400? Here is what I am seeing now: User creates a new company file through QB (this is already fubar'ed): # ll -rw------- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 7647232 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW -rw-r--r-- 1 root DOMAIN+AD_Group 420 Apr 29 14:36 Company.QBW.ND -rw-r--r-- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 1114112 Apr 29 14:36 Company.QBW.TLG drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Apr 24 09:34 lost+found -rw-rw---- 1 root DOMAIN+AD_Group 300 Apr 24 10:17 qbdir.dat Now after working with the company in QB, this is what happens: # ll -rw------- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 7331840 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW -rw-r--r-- 1 root DOMAIN+AD_Group 420 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW.ND -rw------- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 1245184 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW.TLG drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Apr 24 09:34 lost+found -rw-rw---- 1 root DOMAIN+AD_Group 300 Apr 24 10:17 qbdir.dat What are my options to control this here? Edit init scripts for that daemon? I don't know what would happen if it doesn't run as root, but maybe as a user that has GID of DOMAIN+AD_Group? Thanks for any ideas! jlc

kickstart problems...
by John Doe 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi, I am creating CentOS install usb keys and, apart from a few problems, it mostly works... 1. OT: My server HP does not seem to want to boot on it if I set the write protection on. 2. Anaconda tries to fetch the ks.cfg too early... It detects sda, then detects the RAID adapter, then re-detects sda with a "waiting for device to settle before scanning". Anaconda tries to access the ks.cfg file in the middle of this waiting. If, once the detection is over (just 2-3 seconds later), I retry, it works. 3. Error message "cannot mount read/write, will mount read-only" (I like to write protect) 4. OT: fs corruption ont he USB keys... I copy the iso file on the key (no error message), then compare it to the original and some random differences appear. I noticed in the logs: "ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 65536" "ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 88678" "ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 3003818537, count = 1" Any idea how to fix 2. and 3. ? Thx, JD

Update notification

29 Apr '09

CentOS 5.3 New updates available used to be flagged in the (Gnome) desktop notification area, but I don't get them any longer. What could be the problem? yum-updatesd is set up with the default configuration (dbus), and on the machines I changed the notification to email, I do indeed receive these emails.

Dell mirror raid boot problems
by Gregory P. Ennis 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Everyone, I was recently given a Dell raid 386 server that had drives that had gone bad. I replaced the drives with a couple terrabyte sata Seagate drives, and set up the bios for a mirrored raid configuration. I was able to install Centos 5.2 without difficulty, but when it was time to perform the 1st boot it went to grub instead of booting off of one of the mirrored drives. I could not figure out how to boot through grub, so I changed the bios to look at both drives unmirrored. At that point I was able to boot to one of the drives, and the second drive was not mounted. The raid logic is within the bios and mother board of the Dell machine. Can any of you point me to some literature about making this system work as a mirrored raid system. Thanks, -- Greg Ennis

Wake On LAN
by James Bensley 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hey Listees I can not work out how to get my Dell NF500 III server to use wake on LAN using the on board Broadcom NetExtreme II BCM5708 NIC card? I'm running Cent OS 5.3 final (i386). Basically, If I had windows server 2k3 installed I know that the cards & mobo etc support WOL I would just have to tick a little box under the NIC card properties saying "allow wake on LAN" (or words to that affect). How can I enable WOL for my NIC card? I have two identical servers so I have tried putting one to sleep (via either setting the hibernate time down to 5 mins and waiting for it to time out and hibernate or by running the following as root: echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state) and waking it up with ether-wake and WOL (an rpm package) but neither worked, also with a windows WOL client from a windows server which I know works as it is regularly in use but the system didn't come up. The light is glowing green on the mobo just next to the two on board NIC's (both are the same BCM5708's); the light is on but nobodies home? What setting might I be missing within CentOS its self to keep the cards alive when the power is out? Any help is greatly appreciated.

USB device not connected (CentOS 5.3)
by Bart Schaefer 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

I just tried this with CentOS 5.3 as well, and got exactly the same symptoms and dmesg output. (As a point of comparison, Ubunu 8.04 on my work laptop is able to access the drive.) Obviously "not detected" is a misapprehension, though I'm puzzled why "lsusb" doesn't show it. The device is there even though the partition table can't be read. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bart Schaefer <barton.schaefer(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 10:58 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS] USB device not detected (CentOS 4.7) To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 10:01 AM, Craig White <craigwhite(a)azapple.com> wrote: > On Tue, 2009-04-28 at 09:48 -0700, Bart Schaefer wrote: >> I recently purchased an I/O Magic USB enclosure for 3.5" IDE > ---- > check what it says about the drive in dmesg after you plugged it in.

USB device not detected (CentOS 4.7)
by Bart Schaefer 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

I recently purchased an I/O Magic USB enclosure for 3.5" IDE hard drive. Has anyone else used one of these? It works fine with Windows, except of course that Windows can't read the ext2 partitions on the disk I put into the enclosure. CentOS4 can't find the device, much less access the drive -- it doesn't show up in "lsusb" output, although the active light on the enclosure is on solid. I have other USB external drives (Maxtor OneTouch and WD MyBook) that work with CentOS4. Suggestions appreciated.

Package Updater problems
by Charles E Campbell Jr 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello! I'm afraid that I don't understand redhat's bugzilla -- there's an approx 10-character wide box for reporting the bug and it always claims that that's not a bug. I'm sure I'm missing something. Anyway, here's the problems: Using Centos 5.2 and the "Software Updater/Package Updater/pup", I winnowed the problem updates down to six packages: 1: Updated file packages available 2: Updated gcc43 packages available 3: Updated gcc packages available 4: Updated pam packages available 5: Updated redhat-logos packages available 6: Updated redhat-menus packages available I set it up so that the package updater should only try to handle one update, and I repeated this six times, once per problem update. BTW, it'd really help if there was a button on pup to deselect all updates (and let me click a few on). --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: Updated file packages

Is there a reason why after a software raid install (from kickstart) that md1 is always unclean. md0 seems fine. boot screen says md1 is dirty and cat /proc/mdstat show md1 as being rebuilt.

Unless you have a very high performance disk controller/drives, you'll usually find that it cannot keep up with initial format of the array, then the subsequent dumping of data to it during installation. Upon reboot, it'll simply restart the sync process and finish happily. I've seen this on nearly every md RAID1 system I install on. --Tim

The system has the OS on a standalone drive, the home folder is on the two raided drives. I was hoping to extend my home folder to take advantage of my new drive. Recommendations? d

Reset audio controller w/o rebooting?
by Bart Schaefer 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

As I mentioned on a thread about flash-plugin a few days ago, I'm having trouble with my sound device getting "stuck" and thereby causing problems for anything that accesses it, like video playback. Rebooting the machine "fixes" it for a while, but it's unpredictable for how long -- sometimes months go by without it recurring, sometimes it happens every couple of days. Right now I'm in one of the latter phases. Any suggestions on how I could reset the controller without having to reboot? (Or suggestions for where else I might ask this question?) Below is output from "lshw" for the audio controller, and "lsmod" for the sound modules that are loaded. This is CentOS 4.7. *-multimedia UNCLAIMED description: Multimedia audio controller product: CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller vendor: nVidia Corporation physical id: d bus info: pci@0000:00:0d.0 version: a2 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list configuration: latency=0 maxlatency=5 mingnt=2 resources: ioport:d400(size=256) ioport:d000(size=256) memory:ff6fd000-ff6fdfff snd_intel8x0 36237 3 snd_ac97_codec 65425 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 52857 0 snd_mixer_oss 22081 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 92613 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 28357 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 14541 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm gameport 8641 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_mpu401_uart 11457 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 28133 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 12105 1 snd_rawmidi snd 58149 12 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 13345 2 snd

Port Forwarding woes
by Bo Lynch 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

I'm having some port forwarding issues issues with iptables. We are using iptables as a firewall with 2 nics and on ip alias. I'm trying to port forward on the alias ip eth0 = 65.x.x.1 eth0:1 = 65.x.x.2 eth1 = 192.168.x.x I'm wanting to forward certain ports(80,5071...etc) that makes request on eth0:1 IP 65.x.x.2 to forward to internal IP 192.168.x.x. I have setup the following rules but I must be doing something wrong. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 65.x.x.2 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.x:80 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 65.x.x.2 --dport 5071 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.x:5071 iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.x.x --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.x.x --dport 5071 -j ACCEPT Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One for the Cisco experts...
by Sean Carolan 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

I have a Cisco 6509 switch that I'm monitoring with SNMP from a CentOS5 machine. SNMP polls are the only access I have to this device, we are not allowed to log on via telnet. How can I find out which port on the switch a particular server is connected to? I was hoping that this is somehow possible using the mac address and the data gathered from snmpwalk/snmpget requests but I'm not having much luck. How would you tackle this problem?

ata_piix

27 Apr '09

Hi all I am using cents 5.3 on a gigabyte motherboard MA78GM-US2H. When installing centos using kickstart I get prompted to load a driver. I select the ata_piix driver and everything continues as normal. Is there a way in kickstart or the boot command prompt line to specify loading the ata_piix module automatically? Why isnt the kernel loading it automatically? I dont recall having to ever do that before in 5.2 Thanks, Jerry

The Fedora version of RHCS is called Dogtag <http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page> You might have to modify/rebuild their SRPMS. Yes, i came across dogtag. However i got the impression it was something in the same category like tinyca or pyca. Perhaps it is based on the code of RHCS, and all documentation is just some wiki pages. Bit different from the docu from RHCS-7.3 (Their admin guide is over 600 pages) I was asked to make a proposal for an (large) opensource CA/RA/ocsp/.... If selected, i make them order an official package with support from RH. But i would like to have some hands-on experience before, and not get all my information from paper. OpenCA has also quite some nice docu (but doesn't live up to it), and used to be included in some distro's. So, ejbca seems to be more appropiate than dogtag (if i can't get RHCS) hw ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

eth0 killed when adding virtual interface and multiple NICs are present
by Kai Schaetzl 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

I have a strange problem on one machine where eth0 gets killed when I add a virtual interface. It's got something to do with the NIC ordering or with the xen network script having a problem with multiple NICs and virtual interfaces. I could need some help/comments on this. Some history: I added a NIC (chip identifies as Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet) to a Dell R200 server. CentOS 5.3 with Xen 3.3.1 (gitco repo). eth0 and eth1 are the built-in NICs, this is then eth2 (or it should be). Works. Everything is fine until I add a virtual interface to eth0 and reboot. I can add eth0:1 at runtime just fine. But if I let it stay in network-scripts and boot the whole eth0 is killed (doesn't show up in ifconfig and doesn't work). A network restart brings it up as if nothing is wrong. I first thought it might have something to do with the fact that eth0 is actually a bridge on Xen > 3.2 and tried the same config on another machine and there it works. It's not the exact same xen version, not 64bit and it's got only 1 NIC. So there are differences, but it seems to rule out the bridge as a cause. I then checked the logs more thoroughly and found that CentOS changes the NIC initialization order at boot-time. Without the third NIC it's eth0=NIC1 and eth1=NIC2 (as shown on the chassis). But with the third NIC it's most often that one that goes first. Here's a typical excerpt from messages. tigon/tg3 is the driver for the internal NICs which normally were on eth0 and eth1.

Well, it seems this wasn't a problem until I added a virtual interface to eth0. When the eth interfaces are brought up the system seems to reenumerate the eth numbering according to the HWADDR matches and thus eth0=NIC1 and so on. As soon as I add a virtual interface to eth0 this breaks and all of eth0 is killed. At least that's what I figure. So, the next obvious question is: How can I set a fixed order, so that NIC1 is always brought up first as eth0? I'm not sure if this would fix it, though. I have done too few reboots yet, but it seems that at least once I got the "correct" initialization order but eth0 got killed, anyway. So, it might not be the order but still something in the Xen script which happens only when multiple NICs are present and a virtual interface is added. Any thoughts so far?

Antivirus for CentOS? (yuck!)
by Amos Shapira 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi All, Yes, I know, it's really really embarrassing to have to ask but I'm being pushed to the wall with PCI DSS Compliance procedure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_DSS) and have to either justify why we don't need to install an anti-virus or find an anti-virus to run on our CentOS 5 servers. Whatever I do - it needs to be convincing enough to make the PCI compliance guy tick the box. So: 1. Has anyone here gone though such a procedure and got good arguments against the need for anti-virus? 2. Alternatively - what linux anti-virus (oh, the shame of typing this word combination :() do you use which doesn't affect our systems performance too much. The reviewed servers run both Internet-facing web applications and internal systems, mostly using proprietary protocol for internal communications. They are being administrated remotely via IPSec VPN (and possibly in the future also OpenVPN). Thanks, --Amos

repository for mod_security
by Bowie Bailey 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

I want to add mod_security to my Apache server running CentOS 5.3 and am trying to find a repository to get it from. I found it in EPEL, but they have version 2.1.7, which is over a year old according to what I found on the modsecurity.org website. Is there a repository which is keeping this up to date? Or should I just build it from source? -- Bowie

Problems eith yum (wrong releasever)
by Sam Piippo 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

After installing clean Centos 5.3 and updating with "yum update" yum starts to fail. I get the following error message YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. 7 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: //var/cache/yum/base/mirrorlist.txt It looks like the $releasever variable has value 7. Why does this happen and how do I fix this? Thanks, Sami
