CentOS 7, systemd, NetworkMangler, oh, my
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

My manager tells me a system in the datacenter is down. I go down there, and plug in a monitor-on-a-stick and keyboard. It's up, but no network. I try systemctl restart NetworkManager several times, and ip a shows *no* change. Finally, I do an ifdown, followed by an ifup, and everything's wonderful. My manager thinks that the NM daemon thinks everything's fine, and there've been no changes, so it does nothing. He suggests that it might have to be stopped, then started, rather than restarted. This is completely unacceptable behavior, since it leave the system with no network connection. Pre-systemd, as we all know, restart *RESTARTED* the damn thing. Is there some Magic (#insert "pixie-dust-sparkles") incantation, either restarting NetworkManager, or using nm-cli, to force it to perform the expected actions? Btw, if this is supposed to be part of the "hide stuff, desktop Linux users don't need to know this stuff", this is a *much* worse result. mark (and yes, my manager's truly aggravated about this, also)

(re)build sssd-client.i686 for x86_64
by Stijn De Weirdt 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

hi all, i'm trying to rebuild the current sssd-client.i686 rpm that is part of the x86_64 repo, but i fail to do so. rebuilding the sssd.src.rpm on x86_64 does not produce this rpm. i can rebuild sssd.src.rpm with --target=i686, but that sssd-client rpm has conflicts and a whole bunch of i686 deps that the rpm from the centos repo doesn't have. tips/help welcome stijn

Centos7 and old Bind bug

This is my new Centos7 DNS server.

What should I do about this? Is there a SELinux policy to apply or should I the avoid upd-ports option in Bind? thank you

vsftp problem C7
by Alessandro Baggi 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hi list, I've a problem with vsftpd on C7.3. This is a dedicated server protected by a Zywall5. SELINUX is disabled. This is my vsftpd configuration: anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log xferlog_std_format=YES idle_session_timeout=600 data_connection_timeout=120 ftpd_banner=Welcome listen=YES listen_port=21 pasv_enable=YES pasv_min_port=50000 pasv_max_port=50100 pasv_address=public-ip port_enable=YES pasv_addr_resolve=NO listen_ipv6=NO pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES tcp_wrappers=YES Connecting from localhost to the local ip with ftp command, I've no problems. If I try to connect from remote host to the ftp server I got some problems. Connecting from my workstation I can log in with user and pwd but when listing I get: 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (188,213,172,158,206,207) ftp: connect: Connection refused ftp> Seems to be a firewall (zywall5) problem. On server firewalld is disabled and there are not iptables rules. So I've open port 20,21,50000:50100 from my ip to server ip. The problem persists. I've tried to open all ports (Using Any TCP and Any UDP) but the problem persists. I've tried with another local server with the same vsftpd configuration and I've reproduced the problem by closing all ports with iptables. I get the same messages but after enabling specified ports with iptables on server the issue is solved. How I can solve this issue on remote server? THanks in advance.

dhcpcd.conf
by Alice Wonder 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

Hi, ran into a problem w/ linode hosted VM where IPv6 address changed after they migrated it to a different host. They claim I can fix it with sed -i 's/slaac private/slaac hwaddr/' /etc/dhcpcd.conf However there appears to be no dhcpcd.conf on any of my CentOS 7 systems. What is the CentOS 7 equivalent?

A question on networking (CentOS 6)
by KM 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hi AllThis is NOT specifically related to CentOS per se. I have 2 servers that are on two networks. I did NOT set this up. The NIC went bad and it has been replaced. I knew enough to update the HW address in the ifcfg-* files. The network service restarts successfully without errors. However I cannot connect via ping or ssh with the pt2pt network setup on 192.168.x.*. When I use our internal network ip addresses it is fine. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this separate connection. What can I provide here that will allow someone to help? Thanks in advance. I tried searching a bit but didn't find anything of use so far.

Sure, that might be as simple as a firmware update. But why not insist that people buy new product instead and thereby add to the bottom line? Which way do see most commercial firms going? FF is a consumer item that is being shipped with a supposedly Enterprise Linux distribution. This leads to problems that are created by the divergence between the target audience and Enterprise users. Enterprises tend to have a much more robustly secured gateware to the wider Internet than consumers. Which for that audience makes a lot of the more esoteric security enhancements rather useless. If an intruder can carry out a MTM attack on your internal LAN then nothing FF can do is going to have much of an effect. A professional organisation would not simply cut administrators off from the devices that they are required to manage. Nor would it dictate how a company spends its money on hardware. A bunch of self-righteous zealots might. Which may account for the fact that FF (all versions) market share is now less than 10%.[1] [1] https://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=2&qpcustomd=… -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

Alsa pulseaudio & procmail
by Adrian van Bloois 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hi, I'm using a program called morse to generate morse code signals when mail is received. This is done by calling this program depending on de subject or from of the incoming mail. THis worked fine on CentOS 6 but since I'm using CentOS 7 it does nt work anymore. In my procmail logging I get: ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused Can't access speaker. Normal listening to streams on the Internet works fine, the program morse itself works fine, but runningit from procmail fails. Any ideas?

13 Feb '17

Hello everyone, while I wanne try out very special partition, i walk through https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/ManualInstall but fail allready at "INSTALL setup basesystem filesystem" This is very clear to me, because rpm don't know the full path (real version) or is there some thing wrong ?? Anaconda it self works with groups like @base etc... Very wired. Doesn't looks like up to date. Sincerely Andy

I insert the USB device, wait a few seconds, and voila! are you trying this because you can't get it to work the "normal" way, or is this simply an educational experience? Fred Its not mounting on its own as it did in 6.8. If I click on it in gnome, it mounts but REAR won't backup to it. If i manually mount it from a terminal, I have read/write access. Haven't been able to get a backup since I upgraded back in mid-January.

Licence text questions
by Walter Dnes 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

I'm running a CentOS 6.5 chroot to build Pale Moon (a Firefox fork) for older machines running distros like Puppy linux. Before anyone asks... * Yes, even though the older machines are using "ancient" glibc, etc, they do have security patches back-ported, e.g. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461 "Lucid Puppy Revitalized as 5.2.8.7 - December, 2016" * I realize that CentOS 6.5 is "not safe for surfing". It starts at the commandline, and the only network activity is pulling down source code with git, and scp to send the compiled package to the host, i.e. my desktop PC. If necessary, that could be done by the host OS. It's used for building, and nothing else. Currently just Pale Moon, but other software could also be built. Other people are interested in doing the same. My choices are... * explain how to install CentOS 6.5, which options to choose, turn off boot-to-gui, and how to download and build newer gcc, yasm, and python-2.7 to duplicate my build environment, etc, etc. * or send out a 1.3 gigabyte centos65.tar.xz and give simple instructions to extract the archive, copy over /etc/resolv.conf, bind-mount /dev and /proc, chroot into the directory, and get going right away. I'm not charging money, but the 2nd choice literally involves re-distributing CentOS, and additional Open Source software. I believe that I'm required to provide at least the location from which it can be obtained. Here's a first draft of my "licences.txt". Any problems, suggestions? ======================================================================== The tarball is a collection of various Open Source software, assembled and bundled together by Walter Dnes <waltdnes(a)waltdnes.org>. It's based on a 32-bit CentOS 6.5 install. Additional components necessary for the building of Pale Moon 27 were built from source. It was originally installed in a QEMU VM (Virtual Machine), and then rsync'd to a directory on the host machine for use as a chroot environment. The tarballed directory is intended to run as a chroot environment. The various softwares remain subject to their original licences. As required by many Open Source licences, here is a list of where the original software can be obtained. * The CentOS 6.5 distro can be obtained at http://vault.centos.org/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1.iso http://vault.centos.org/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD2.iso DVD1 is approx 3.6 gigabytes and DVD2 is approx 1 gigabyte The following additional source code was downloaded and used to build additional infrastructure required for building Pale Moon. * Python 2.7.13 can be otained at https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/Python-2.7.13.tgz * gcc 4.9.4 can be obtained at http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-4.9.4/gcc-4.9.4.tar.bz2 * gcc 5.4.0 can be obtained at http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-5.4.0/gcc-5.4.0.tar.bz2 * YASM 1.3.0 can be obtained at http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz ======================================================================== -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes(a)waltdnes.org>

Wich web browser on CentOS6 ?
by Patrick Begou 11 Feb '17

Hello I have more and more troubles using firefox in professional environment with CentOS6. The latest version is 45.7.0 But I can't use it anymore to access some old server hardware (IDRAC7 of DELL C6100) because of "/SSL_ERROR_WEAK_SERVER_CERT_KEY/". I had to install an old Firefox32 version to administrate these servers. Today I upgrade the firmware of 2 DELL switch and now Firefox cannot connect to them anymore saying: /An error occurred during a connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The server rejected the handshake because the client downgraded to a lower TLS version than the server supports// //SSL_ERROR_INAPPROPRIATE_FALLBACK_ALERT /Is there a CentOS6 recommended web browser allowing continuous connections to olds and new base level (and local) system administration services ?

Often self-signed with 1kb keys and md5 signature hashes. Not to mention many are past their expiry dates. However, given the revelations of state sanctioned snooping on network traffic browsers are being pushed to implement increased compliance checking for the overall security of users. Firefox is simply implementing what various 'authorities' are recommending as secure practices with respect to authentication using pki and x-509 certificates. The present situation is a PIA. It could be a lot more user-friendly if FF so chose. They could have easily allowed one to turn off these advanced compliance checks for specific IP and DNS addresses so that the intended benefit remained but the interference with existing infrastructure was minimised. But, FF is on its own chosen path to oblivion and the idea of compromise is totally absent from their project plan. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

An rpm package with country flags in PNG format for CentOS 6
by Alexander Farber 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hello fellow CentOS users, does anybody please know a package for CentOS 6 with at least 200 country flag images in PNG format and (lowercased or uppercased) ISO-conform 2-letter naming (like "us.png", "de.png", "ru.png", ...)? This does not have to be a specific graphic-related package, but can be anything - like a Nagios package, or maybe KDE-help package... I am looking for a package to install at my CentOS 6 LAMP server and to (ab)use those images to display the country flags on the served webpages. Thank you for any ideas Alex

Centos7 - SELinux messing with my named.conf
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Well, actually it is me cp-ing files and SELinux yelling at me later... I had named working, but detected that I had a couple clean ups to do in /etc/named.conf and an include file in /etc/named. I made the changes, scp to my user id from my notebook, 'su' in my ssh session and cp the named.conf and other files. Made sure to fix the file ownership with chown root:named, and that permissions were correct. Then restarted named. Of course if failed. After a little playing and digging around I find: # journalctl -xe -- -- Unit named-setup-rndc.service has finished starting up. -- -- The start-up result is done.

Re: [CentOS] mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error - workaround

> This is a known issue: >https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=58168 >I would recommend filing a bug with Red Hat to have them fix it. I am going to see if I can find someone in the organization with a Red Hat account to open the bug. In the meantime, I came up with a workaround. I wanted to see if I could role the updates back to CentOS 6.7 since the system was 6.7 until I applied the updates. The alternative is to load the system from scratch, so what is there to loose. The result seems to be working so I will document what I did. # First I rebooted and specified to use the original kernel # Then mount the place where I unloaded the original DVD ISOs mount -t nfs phxbkup2:/iso/centos6.7x64 /media/CentOS # Tried to sync from this location, but it did not work, yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 distribution-synchronization # There were a number of conflicts that prevented the yum to run. # The troublesome packages did not look like they would prevent booting, so I got rid of them yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 erase python-libipa_hbac-1.13.3-22.el6_8.4.x86_64 mesa-libxatracker-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-13.4.el6.x86_64 mesa-libxatracker-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 erase xcb-util xcb-util-renderutil # Tried the distro sync again and it went through. yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 distribution-synchronization # Tried to put back the problem packages, especially since one contained the driver I needed.

Spotty internet connection

How do you IT guys diagnose the problem with a spotty internet connection? Just spent an hour on the phone with TWC/Spectrum. Of course they don't see anything wrong with their service. They send me to speedtest.net. The first attempt, the page didn't fully load, the second attempt, the page didn't load at all, the third attempt, it loaded. On a 20/2MB line I get 24.83/2.47MB. The speed is better than what I'm paying for but its spotty. Lately I have been getting slow and partial page loads, server not found, server timed out, etc.. Get knocked off ssh when accessing my home server from work, etc. Its not the work connection because I don't have problems accessing other sites, just here at home and my home server. Is there any kind of utility to check for failing hardware? TIA

Rebuild gstreamer

Hi all, I have a need to rebuild the gstreamer and gst-plugins in CentOS 7. So I found the wiki for rebuilding a source package... I downloaded the vault.centos.org files, installed them with dependencies. I did the rpmbuild -ba for each of the four packages. All seemed to go well. No errors reported. However - the /usr/bin/gst-inspect* listing shows the files as OLD ls -l /usr/bin/gst-inspect* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16000 Jun 9 2014 /usr/bin/gst-inspect -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45488 Jun 9 2014 /usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45552 Nov 20 2015 /usr/bin/gst-inspect-1.0 However the file was genereated as shows here: pwd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/gstreamer-0.10.36/tools [root@W530 tools]# ls -l gst-inspect* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36632 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8436 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect-0.10 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1768 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect-0.10.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 1768 Dec 11 2011 gst-inspect.1.in -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 53933 Feb 7 08:42 gst-inspect.c -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 47400 Dec 29 2011 gst-inspect.c.rpm-provides So the package built... why did /usr/bin/gst-inspect* not match the above directory.

I am trying to add a package (I know its older - but it should work) gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8 to CentOS 7. The gstreamer 0.10 packages are included in C7 and they compile just fine. When I extract and try to compile gst-rtsp-server 0.10.8 the ./configure goes fine. but the make results in errors: make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2' Making all in gst make[2]: Entering directory `/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2/gst' Making all in rtsp-server make[3]: Entering directory `/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2/gst/rtsp-server' CC libgstrtspserver_0.10_la-rtsp-media.lo rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_class_init': rtsp-media.c:143:3: error: 'g_thread_create' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:104): Use 'g_thread_new' instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] klass->thread = g_thread_create ((GThreadFunc) do_loop, klass, TRUE, &error); ^ rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_init': rtsp-media.c:160:3: error: 'g_mutex_new' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:277) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] media->lock = g_mutex_new (); ^ rtsp-media.c:161:3: error: 'g_cond_new' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:281) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] media->cond = g_cond_new (); ^ rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_finalize': rtsp-media.c:242:3: error: 'g_mutex_free' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:279) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] g_mutex_free (media->lock); ^ rtsp-media.c:243:3: error: 'g_cond_free' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:283) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] g_cond_free (media->cond); ^ rtsp-media.c: In function 'gst_rtsp_media_get_status': rtsp-media.c:1504:5: error: 'g_cond_timed_wait' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/deprecated/gthread.h:285) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] if (!g_cond_timed_wait (media->cond, media->lock, &timeout)) { ^ How to I get this package to compile just like the gst-plugins (bad, good, base) 0.10 for C7?

Chrony vd NTP
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

I have read: http://thegeekdiary.com/centos-rhel-7-chrony-vs-ntp-differences-between-ntp… My server is up all the time and will serve time to internal systems (via DHCP options). Caveat is that my server is an armv7 (Cubieboard2) which does not have an RTC (no battery). So whenever the system boots, the time is ZERO (Dec 31, 1969 or some such). Chrony fixes this really fast; shortly after boot the time is good. Chrony CAN be configed as an internal time server. But chrony does not seem to step the clock for any adjustments needed. It is more important that this systems time be right all the time than to avoid clock steps. This brings me back to NTP, which normally takes hours to bring the time from ZERO to current, but keeps the time correct. So: Can Chrony check the time, say once a day? Or can NTP make a BIG time jump all at once (on system restart)? thanks

install of audacity kills audio
by ken 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

# uname -r 3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64 # cat /etc/centos-release CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) Prior to the below the sound/audio on my system worked just fine. Then a yum of install of audacity with dependencies: ... Downloading packages: (1/6): vamp-plugin-sdk-2.5-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | 172 kB 00:03 (2/6): wxGTK-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64.rpm | 2.9 MB 00:00 (3/6): audacity-2.1.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 4.3 MB 00:08 (4/6): portaudio-19-16.el7.x86_64.rpm | 88 kB 00:09 (5/6): libid3tag-0.15.1b-17.el7.x86_64.rpm | 48 kB 00:09 (6/6): wxBase-2.8.12-20.el7.x86_64.rpm | 588 kB 00:10 ... Now nothing which is supposed to output is working; e.g., something as simple as "play file.wav" hangs at the start and outputs no sound at all. Two minutes prior to the install the exact same command worked. Same story with other apps using sound. I "erased" (rpm -e ...) all of the installed packages listed above. That didn''t fix the problem. My guess is that the install loaded one or more bogus kernel modules, it would be nice if lsmod showed WHEN the modules were loaded, but it doesn't. Is there some way to find this out? # lspci -vv -s 00:1f.3 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H HD Audio (rev 31) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 80ee Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 130 Region 0: Memory at 96220000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Region 4: Memory at 96210000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=55mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee003d8 Data: 0000 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel # rmmod snd_hda_intel rmmod: ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use snd_hda_intel probably isn't the offending module anyway.

Delaying services starting at boot
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

Back to the challenge of a server with no RTC. Chrony advances the clock some 14B sec a bit after bootup. So sometimes services like httpd start with a bad time of Dec 31, 1969. Is there some way to delay services starting until Chrony has done its job to bring the clock up? I think it matters to some extent, as /var/log/http/error.log is filled this time with messages about http starting with that 1969 date. Other times, on boot, I don't see these messages, and thus guess that Chrony set the time before httpd started. thanks

CentOS 7.3.1611 scap-security-guide issue
by Michał Jankowski 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

Hello, I have noticed that pci-dss profile, ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml will always fail on test and remediation for disable_prelink rule. That seem to be caused by insufficient CentOS RPM customization of upstream code. Specifically this: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/blob/master/shared/oval/dis… <https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/blob/master/shared/oval/dis…> That condition will always fail on CentOS because it misses: <extend_definition comment="Installed OS is CentOS7" definition_ref=" installed_OS_is_centos7" /> I was thinking about raising a bug on https://bugs.centos.org or committing a fix in https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!scap-security-guide but I am unsure as to what action should I take. The other issue I'm facing is trying to workaround the disable_prelink rule by simply taking it out of tests. I have create a tailor file but it doesn't seem to be taken into consideration. The file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <cdf-11-tailoring:Tailoring xmlns:cdf-11-tailoring=" http://open-scap.org/page/Xccdf-1.1-tailoring" xmlns:xccdf=" http://checklists.nist.gov/xccdf/1.1" id="xccdf_scap-workbench_tailoring_default"> <cdf-11-tailoring:benchmark href="/private/tmp/ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml"/> <cdf-11-tailoring:version time="2017-01-31T14:41:00">1</cdf-11-tailoring:version> <xccdf:Profile id="pci-dss_disable_rule_prelink" extends="pci-dss"> <xccdf:title xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" override="true">PCI-DSS v3 Control Baseline for CentOS Linux 7 [CUSTOMIZED]</xccdf:title> <xccdf:description xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" override="true">This is a *draft* profile for PCI-DSS v3</xccdf:description> <xccdf:select idref="disable_prelink" selected="false"/> </xccdf:Profile> </cdf-11-tailoring:Tailoring> Then the oscap command I tried: oscap xccdf eval --remediate --tailoring-file tailor.xml --profile pci-dss --fetch-remote-resources /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml It is my debut on the list, thank you for your consideration :-)

CentOS 6, 8, mplayer, "vector smash protection is enabled"
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

This *just* started happening. Video works, but if I try to play streaming audio, I get nothing. In .xsession-errors, I see that message, along with others Object::connect: No such slot TaskManager::GroupManager::taskDestroyed(QObject*) ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused ###!!! [Parent][MessageChannel::Call] Error: (msgtype=0xAA0001,name=PPluginInstance::Msg___delete__) Channel error: cannot send/recv Based on a brief google, it *appears* as though vector smash protection is protecting me from playing music. Note that mplayer does play videos with no audio (i.e., from our surveillance cameras in our secure rooms). Can I turn it off, or is there something else blocking me? Let me note that flash-plugin works to play music... except, as I noted last week, it crashes every 15-20 minutes, so I was going to mplayer from the command line.... mark

Buttons too big in Firefox for Linux
by Gary Stainburn 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

A while back, after doing a yum update, a new version of Firefox was installed and since then, the contents of my pages don't fit any more because the buttons are now much bigger. I've done some searching and to be honest I've drowned in the results. To make matters worse, most of the results are OLD, referring to IE version 6 and Firefox version 30. This problem is only very recent (months). The problem is only in Firefox for Linux. Firefox for Android and Windows look fine, as does Chrome on everything and I.E. Does anyone have any relevant / current suggestions on how to fix this? Firefox on Linux is my main development platform so having it look different to everything else is a real pain It doesn't seem to matter whether I use <input type=button> or <button type=button>

dicom viewer for Centos 7 and pacs servers
by Greg Ennis 05 Feb '17

05 Feb '17

Everyone, Have any of you had any luck getting aeskulap to work with Centos7. We have just migrated some desktops from Fedora 20 to Centos. but aeskulap is not in the centos 7 repos. aeskulap was a decent dicom viewer and was able to connect to our pacs server. If there are other viewers that any of you have used I would be interested in the dialog of what you have used and any difficulties related to the installation process and use. Thanks, Greg Ennis

Help with httpd userdir recovery
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Feb '17

05 Feb '17

I lost my harddrive on my little personal webserver that only serves some private files from my userdir. So I am trying to build this from notes on a new Centos7.3 installation (well really Centos7.3-arm, but supposedly same sources). Right now the server is running on a test subnet, not the production, but I have set up the hostname and my standard httpd edits. I have enabled userdir and setup my /home/rgm/public_html directory with 711 permissions. I can display the /home/rgm/public_html/index.html file that only has "Hello World' in it (to prevent anyone from walking my file tree from the root). But when I try to display the files in a subdir with ipaddr/~rgm/mydir I get You don't have permission to access /~rgm/mydir/ on this server. So obviously I have forgotten something that I did not put into my notes, or something has changed from Centos6. I have tried both: <Directory "/home/*/public_html"> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec Require method GET POST OPTIONS </Directory> which is what the current /etc/httpd/conf.d/userdir.conf has, and what I have in my notes: <Directory /home/*/public_html> # AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec <Limit GET POST OPTIONS> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS> Order deny,allow Deny from all </LimitExcept> </Directory> Neither seems to make a difference. thank you for your assistance.

raid 10 not in consistent state?
by lejeczek 04 Feb '17

hi everyone I've just configured a simple raid10 on a Dell system, but one thing is puzzling to me. I'm seeing this below and I wonder why?

rpm conflict on new install
by Gary Stainburn 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Yesterday I did a clean install of Centos 6 -> Workstation -> Plasma. I then added some recommended repo's and did a yum update. I'm now getting the following: [root@lcomp5 ~]# yum check Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks ipa-client-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.x86_64 has installed conflicts freeipa-client: ipa-client-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.x86_64 ipa-client-common-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.noarch has installed conflicts freeipa-client-common: ipa-client-common-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.noarch ipa-common-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.noarch has installed conflicts freeipa-common: ipa-common-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.noarch ipa-python-compat-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.noarch has installed conflicts freeipa-python-compat: ipa-python-compat-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.4.noarch Error: check all [root@lcomp5 ~]# (The yum check takes a good 5 minutes to run) Googling shows that a number of people seem to be suffering from this but doesn't seem to give a solution. Does anyone have any suggestion?

tmp option of crypttab
by Leon Fauster 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

I have successfully used the swap option of crypttab (# man crypttab) to encrypt the swap partition dynamically. rc.sysinit enables that swap partition successfully at the right point (after encryption). The same doesn't work for the tmp option of crypttab (# man crypttab). The encrypted partition is present after booting the system. Manually mounting it works but adding "/dev/mapper/luks-tmp" into fstab shows that the boot process tries to mount it to early (not encrypted yet). This is confusing because other encrypted volumes (not dynamically) in fstab are successfully mounted. It seems that volumes with random keys are skipped at that stage. Does someone use a tmp directory with dynamic encryption enabled? # cat /etc/centos-release CentOS release 6.8 (Final) -- LF

CentOS 7.3, SPF+ 10GBit network
by Helmut Drodofsky 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hello, our server uses 1 GBit Nic and 10 GBit SPF+ NIC. When both nics are configured ONBOOT=yes, then both nics are OK. Wen 1GBit nic is ONBOOT=no, netwerk does not come up. Missing driver?

AWS ami are out of date / support restricted instance subset
by Kadrach 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hi all, the current AWS Marketplace CentOS7 AMIs (1602) are restricted to an outdated subset of EC2 instance types (at least m4.16xlarge and x1.* are missing). The AMIs are also based on 7.2.1511, which is now quite outdated. Are there any concrete plans to update the AMIs? Is this due to a lack of time, or are there other roadblocks that prevent an update? Cheers, Kad

downgrading packages
by Jon LaBadie 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

After the large update from 7.2 -> 7.3 there is one major problem, the amanda backup packages. Strange situation, the host is the amanda server is working fine at backing up all my remote clients. But it has an error backing up itself. The amanda packages did not change version (3.3.3) and I've done no configuration change. I'm not looking for help debugging this at the moment. Instead I'd like to downgrade the amanda packages to see if the original function can be restored. But when I ask yum to downgrade, there are no packages available. Is it still possible to downgrade just these 4 packages? How? What potential problems? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jon(a)jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd.

Cron.Hourly
by Matt 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

When I have multiple scripts in /etc/cron.hourly/ using noanacron do they all start at same time or sequentially? I would rather they all went at same time in case one takes close to an hour to complete.
