[OT] Network Attached Storage
by TE Dukes 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Hello, Been thinking about either purchasing one of these or building my own. This will be for home use. I was looking at the QNAP 451+ or building (DYI NAS) one with FreeNAS. I also found that CentOS has a NAS project. Not sure which way to go. They would cost about the same. One would be proprietary and the other open source. I like open source. This for home use. Thought I'd start out with 2, 4TB drives, maybe 3 so I could implement RAID 5. I have four computers to backup. TIA

Issue with MariaDB-server
by Clint Dilks 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Hi, Today I have updated a CentOS 6.8 system that has MariaDB-server installed from http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos6-amd64 and found that I had an SELinux issue. I know this is not really CentOS related, but thought I would check if anyone else on this list uses this repository and has also seen a problem ? Using the information at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux I have created a local policy that seems to fix things module marialocal 1.0; require { type mysqld_safe_t; class capability { setuid setgid }; } #============= mysqld_safe_t ============== allow mysqld_safe_t self:capability setgid; allow mysqld_safe_t self:capability setuid; My own research suggests this is reasonably safe, but does anyone see a reason why this shouldn't be used ? It may be useful to know that the particular rpms are MariaDB-server-5.5.54-1.el6.x86_64 and selinux-policy-3.7.19-292.el6_8.2.noarch. Thanks for any feedback, and Happy New Year :)

microcode_ctl-2.1-16 hard crash on Intel E5 2667 v4 CPUs
by Locane 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

Hello all! I'm brand new to the mailing list, and I've encountered an issue with the microcode_ctl package version 2.1-16 being installed during the CentOS 7.3 upgrade. It causes my servers to hard stop and they need to be forcibly powered off and back on again with the power button to continue. This RedHat thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398698 details the issue, and version 2.1-18 available from Petr Oros' personal section of RedHat http://people.redhat.com/poros/e6a8cc19d733b1526c2519fbaa1e231d/ is supposed to fix the issue. I haven't had a chance to test it yet. My questions are, who decides what packages are current for CentOS when I "yum upgrade"? When can version 2.1-18 be released to avoid this problem? Thanks in advance!

Amavis on Centosl help
by Tim Smith 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

I'm moving from Ubuntu to CentOS 7 Previously, on Ubuntu, installing amavisd would lead to etc/amavis/conf.d that contained: 01-debian 05-domain_id 05-node_id 15-av_scanners 15-content_filter_mode 20-debian_defaults 21-ubuntu_defaults 25-amavis_helpers 30-template_localization 40-policy_banks 50-user However installing amavisd on centos leads to a spaghetti config file (i.e. /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf and nothing else) For obvious reasons I want to avoid spaghetti config, not only is it poor practice, but also nigh on impossible to maintain properly without breaking stuff. Assuming it is possible, how would I go about changing the Centos "dump" based config into a more sensible one where local site customisations are clearly deliniated ?

selinux & rsyncd: Allowing global read for backup
by Kenneth Porter 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

I want to set up rsyncd to expose the whole drive read-only to BackupPC running on another machine. So I need to set selinux to allow this. According to the Fedora wiki I can do so like this: setsebool -P rsync_disable_trans 1 <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/rsync> But when I run the command on CentOS 7.3 it tells me that this bool is not defined. So what do I do now? (Everything works fine if I set SELinux to permissive.)

CentOS 7 samba server + mac client problems
by Noam Bernstein 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

We’ve just started to try to configure a new CentOS 7 disk server, and NFS seems OK so far, but I’m having problems with smb mounts to a Mac OS X client. I have the [homes] section as usual, and some additional shares restricted to specific users, but none seem to work. I know I’m authenticating OK (both from the smbd logs and because when I type the wrong password the Mac’s behavior is different), but in no case can I see any files. The Mac gets as far as creating a mount point and opening a blank Finder window, but it’s completely empty, and when I try to select the server in the Finder sidebar it says “Connection failed” and shows a “Connect As” button, which just initiates another login/mount dialog window. I don’t know what configuration bits are important, so I’m not sure what to include with this message. I do know that I have things set up very similarly to our previous CentOS 6 smb server, and that one seems to work fine. If anyone has gotten such a configuration working, or has any suggestions as to what options in the smb.conf file to focus on, I’d appreciate any clues. thanks, Noam

cron job failures with a perl script containing Astro::Time
by Gregory P. Ennis 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

Everyone, I am building a gateway server with a new : CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) with 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 kernel. Everything was going find, but I was not able to get a particular cronjob to function properly that contained a perl script with Astro::Time as an include file. Astro::Time was installed with the use of the cpan module downloaded from the Centos repositories. The error message I get in the logs is : Can't locate Astro/Time.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/local/bin/s.bkup.degw3.prl line 12. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/s.bkup.degw3.prl line 12. Line 12 is the line in the perl scrip that contains : use Astro::Time; The script works find from the command line, but will not work at all in a cron job. After I reviewed the previous posts on this mail list about Centos 7 cron job problems I was motivated to change the PATH statements in the /etc/crontab file to include all of the PATH's in my root environment while using a terminal interface. /etc/crontab file : SHELL=/bin/bash #PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin PATH=/usr/lib64/qt- .3/bin:/root/perl5/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bi n:/root/bin QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/kde4/plugins:/usr/lib/kde4/plugin MAILTO=root The original /etc/crontab file was : SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root Unfortuantely I am still not able to get this script to work. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Greg Ennis

Noise Cancellation of Server Noise
by H 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Has anyone come across a device that could cancel out the noise from servers, ie. the fan noise? I have a server rack near my office and would like to see if i can decrease the noise level. It would seem to me that the steady drone of the fans could be cancelled out to a large extent.

Raspberry PI3 - CentOS armv7hl gnome desktop
by Paul R. Ganci 02 Jan '17

Maybe there is a better place to post this message but as my question was still CentOS related thought I would start here. Please advise if there is a better forum of which to ask this question. I am playing around with making a "desktop" workstation out of a Raspberry PI3. I have had no problems installing the OS and pretty much have everything working except a Gnome desktop. I did: > yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" and from what I can tell everything necessary is installed. However when I try to start X up I see it try and start, the display blinks as if everything is good and then drops back down to the console.

Adobereader on Centos7 crashes
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 01 Jan '17

01 Jan '17

Hello All, I can't get Adobe Reader to run stable on Centos7, when trying to edit settings or trying to print, it crashes. The issue is people need to digitally sign pdf forms. When I open these forms with anything else then Adobereader, I get EM To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html I spent a lot of time trying to solve this with other pdf viewers, including google-chrome and Foxit, and trickery with ps2pdf and Pdfedit. Nothing works. I installed Adobereader following this: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-acrobat-pdf-reade… The signing of these forms is vital to my organization, so any help would be appreciated. Greetings, J.

chronyd configuration as a local ntp server
by Phil Amy 30 Dec '16

30 Dec '16

Robert, If your NTP server will be on 7/24, I would uninstall chrony and install ntpd which is still included in CentOS 7. Configure as usual. For the differences between chrony and ntpd reference: http://thegeekdiary.com/centos-rhel-7-chrony-vs-ntp-differences-between-ntp… Essentially, chrony is more for laptops with intermittant network connections, and ntpd is better suited to always-on servers

php-fpm user other than webserver user?
by Matthias Leopold 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Hi, I don't really know where to post this, i'll try here since i use both CentOS and RHEL... I'd like to know how others handle the setup of Apache httpd and PHP-FPM when the PHP-FPM user is different from the webserver user. This is the case in the default configuration of IUS PHP-FPM packages (not in stock CentOS/RHEL). So I have httpd running as 'apache' and PHP running as 'php-fpm'. I'm aware of special use cases where a configurable PHP user is a nice feature, but how do i handle filesystem setup for this default configuration in a pretty and secure way? Do people use it like that or do they change PHP-FPM user back to 'apache' (like in RH packages)? All of the setups i tried (eg. using ACLs) don't really look "pretty" and "robust", something I'd like to have when using "default" configurations. I hope I'm not thinking too complicated... Thanks for feedback matthias

C7 Mate - files suddenly moved back onto desktop
by Frank Cox 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

My wife sometimes puts files on her desktop to work with them, then cut-and-pastes the file to put it into a folder when she's done. This morning she has seven files on her desktop that she has worked on over the course of the past week. They have suddenly, overnight, moved out of the folders that she had put them into and moved onto her desktop! They are no longer in the folders that she put them into. I told her to log out and log back in since I'm guessing that the Caja file manager may be somehow at fault. Does anyone have any ideas about what else it could be? Some kind of cross-linking on her hard drive? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Centos7.3-Mate
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Hello All, I have this problem starting Centos7.3 - the official name escapes me at the moment. I often install Centos7 Minimal, then X Window System, then Mate desktop. This last step gives me trouble, and I have to run # yum groupinstall mate --skip-broken output: skipped packages: NetworkManager-I2tp ldns libreswan unbound-libs xl2tpd I realise this is probably an issue for EPEL or Mate. Happy hollidays J.

CentOS 7 and systemd: SysV initscript: how detect boot vs. interactive use?
by whitivery 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Moving from CentOS 5 to CentOS 7, discovered that a test in a SysV initscript for whether it is running interactively, instead of at boot time, no longer works. Under CentOS 7 / systemd, is there some way for the initscript to know this?

GRE based attack?
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

My new Centso7 server that I am testing out is connected with a public address on my dmz. I am connected to the console port. Overnight the following message was logged to the console: [44133.679108] conntrack: generic helper won't handle protocol 47. Please consider loading the specific helper module. Protocol 47 is GRE. So was this 'just' an a ping by an attacker? No one, but I have any business on this server. Well other than the files I put up for people. thanks

chronyd configuration as a local ntp server
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

This is for centos 7 that has chronyd 2.1.1 I am looking into how to use chronyd as my local ntp server. On my old servers with ntpd I had local access control lines like: restrict 192.168.128.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap But in looking for documentation on chronyd I did not find anything on this at: https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/doc/2.1/manual.html In the actual /etc/chronyd.conf there is the sample line: # Allow NTP client access from local network. #allow 192.168/16 Does this allow only allow queries? Does chronyd support the 'restrict' option? thank you

GUI black screen on login, startx works???
by Dave Burns 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hello, I'm using a recent install of centos 7, no GUI customizations that I recall. When I log in using the GUI it accepts my password and the mouse appears on a black screen, like it is preparing the desktop, but the desktop never appears. If I hit control-alt-f4 and log in using the command line, and then execute startx, Everything seems to work perfectly. What sort of troubleshooting should I do to figure out what is stalling? I'm not at all familiar with this aspect of things. thanks, Dave

apcupsd-3.14.14
by TE Dukes 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

Hello, Looking for a apcupsd 3.14.14 rpm. Been getting communication lost errors. I read there was a problem with the 3.14.12 version regarding a usb connection which I'm using, but has been corrected in 3.14.14. I found a Fedora 25 Rawhide src version, but the link must be bad. Was hoping I could rebuild it for Cento 6. Looks like apcupsd no longer producing the rpms. I could build one from the source but would prefer to use an rpm. TIA

New laptop recomendation
by Tony Molloy 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi, I'm recently retired from my university job. I am looking for a laptop to run CentOS 6/7. My university was a traditional Dell site so I've used Latitude laptops for years, currently E6500/E6510. Anybody got any experience of running CentOS on the newer Dell Latitudes E5000 or E7000. These are not certified according to Redhats' Hardware Guide. Alternatively Precision Workstations would do. These can be supplied with Ubuntu installed so they run Linux. Thanks, Tony -- Linux nogs.tonyshome.ie 2.6.32-642.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 18 19:25:05 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Dear All, Im looking for alternative for cPanel and somehow I read that the 'cwp control web panel' (http://centos-webpanel.com) and Sentora ( http://www.sentora.ga) is the good alternative for cPanel. Is there someone using this application and what can you tell about or recommend. Thank you all.

Last night installed the latest, firefox-45.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64. Fired it up this morning and within the first hour it's crashed three times. That comes to it being usable for about five minutes before it crashes. Anyone else getting this?

OT: Blank mails from this list
by Sorin Srbu 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hi all, I apologise for this off-topic question, but wanted to hear from a third-party as well. Recently, like the last week or so, I've started getting blank emails from this list. Blank as in no message text is visible in the email. If I do a ctrl-A however, something does get marked. Evidently there is a message, just not visible. This particular list is the only one I've noticed this problem with. I use Outlook 2013 32b on Win7 x64. Our work mail server at work is Exchange.

networkmanager VS OpenConnect VPN
by Fred Smith 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

I have a VPN connection using the openconnect vpn, and it is managed by network manager. Works fine. It has been on my system since the original Centos 7.x release. Now that I have Centos 7.3, while it still works fine, I find that I can no longer add a new connection using openconnect. I also find that I am not allowed to edit the existing openconnect vpn definition. attempting to create a new one lists only ipsec-based VPN as a choice, along with "import a saved VPN configuration". Attempting to edit the existing one pops up a little window that says: Could not edit connection Could not find VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.networkmanager.openconnect'. yum says I have the following items installed: yum list installed \*openconnect\* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.mirror.constant.com * elrepo: mirrors.evowise.com * epel: mirrors.mit.edu * extras: mirror.cc.columbia.edu * nux-dextop: mirror.li.nux.ro * updates: mirrors.advancedhosters.com Installed Packages NetworkManager-openconnect.x86_64 0.9.8.6-2.el7 @epel openconnect.x86_64 7.06-1.el7 @epel this has worked for some long time, now, so what is wrong here? I don't think I"m missing any packages, because "yum list available" doesn't find anything else that seems to be needed, only -debuginfo and -devel. Anyone got a clue for me? thanks!

Can't delete or move /home on 7.3 install
by Glenn E. Bailey III 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Tried this in both AWS and GCE as I though it may be a specific cloud vendor issue. SELinux is disabled, lsof | grep home shows nothing, lsattr /home shows nothing. Simply get "Device or resource busy." Works just find on 7.2 so I'm kinda at a loss. Scanned over the RHEL release notes and didn't see anything. Anyone else have this issue? We move our /home to another mount point and symlink /home to it .. -- "replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."

PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency.
by Michael Hennebry 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I'm running centos 6, just did a yum update, and still cannot get sound from vlc. The entire message (reformatted): Potential PulseAudio version problem: PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency. Sound may be lost or quality degraded. To address that issue, upgrade the PulseAudio daemon to version 3.0, or disable the alternate sampling rate in its configuration I can find /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and its man page , but cannot figure out what to do. pulseaudio.x86_64 0.9.21-24.el6 @base vlc.x86_64 2.0.10-1.el6 @rpmfusion-free-updates Any ideas? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

SASL attacks and SPAM
by TE Dukes 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I wanted to pass this along. I'm sure it may be nothing new to most of you, but it has greatly reduced sasl attacks and spam. I found most of it here: https://scottlinux.com/2011/05/26/prevent-postfix-brute-force/ I added the fail2ban rule and modified my postfix main.cf as follows: smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 3 smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, permit smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, check_policy_service unix:postgrey/socket, permit smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 3 smtpd_client_message_rate_limit = 5 smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit = 60 smtpd_client_event_limit_exceptions = $mynetworks smtpd_client_new_tls_session_rate_limit = 3 smtpd_error_sleep_time = 1s smtpd_soft_error_limit = 10 smtpd_hard_error_limit = 20 Has knocked down all the spam and about 99% of the sasl attacks. If anyone would like to add to this, please do so. TIA

Problem with Centos & Alsa on reboot
by Robert Jeffares 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I have a number of machines using Centos 6.8 They have M-Audio sound cards. When I set the output levels using alsamixer and save using 'alsactrl store' [creating a requested directory] the settings do not restore on reboot. I have no idea why they don't. running 'alsactrl restore' works so the settings are being saved. I think the on board card settings are loaded OK /var/lib/alsa/asound.state seems to have the right permissions, and I can find no errors in any logs. My fix is to run a script from /etc/rc.local which runs on restart and sends me an email --------------snip----------------- #! /bin/bash date > /home/rd/soundset.log alsactl restore cat /home/rd/soundset.log |mail -s 'sound set ' your(a)email.com exit 0 --------------snip----------------- It's either Centos or Alsa. Did not have this in earlier systems. regards Robert -- *Big Valley Radio* 64 Warner Park Avenue Laingholm Auckland 0604 09 8176358 0221693124 06 650 6087

Still trying to get it running. Updated CentOS 7, ATI video card, trying to use the radeon driver, and, using the previous kernel, X appears to come up, but gdm fails; with the 514 kernel, X fails to start. And here's a twist: I just rebooted, with radeon.modeset=1 on the kernel line... and for no reason I know of, I get *six* logs, Xorg.[0-5].log. Does this suggest anything to anyone? I can't imagine it's trying to start X six times.... mark

Hi, folks, This is odd. Just recently, at home, even though I have it set to display messages as plain text, I'm suddenly seeing pics attached to spam inline, as though I had it set to display html. Can't find anything to make it stop - anyone have a clue? mark

Cannot access Samba shares after latest update
by Ed Gurski 18 Dec '16

Yesterday (12/17/16), I updated my Centos 7 machine with the latest updates. Prior to the updates both my Windows 10 and Centos 7 machines were able to access Samba shares hosted on a Fedora 25 server. After rebooting the Centos 7 machine, I get the dreaded "Unable to access location --- Failed to receive share list from server --- Connection refused" message when trying to mount the shares via the "Network Servers" gui. I can see the Samba machine but cannot access it. My Windows 10 machines can still access the shares but not Centos 7. In fact, one of my Windows 10 machines is running as a virtual machine on Centos 7. The Centos 7 only has the Samba client software installed and I can do the following from my Centos 7: "nmblookup samba_machine" and I get the correct response. "smbclient -L samba_machine" and I see all the shares. I did stop the firewall on both machines without success. Any clues?

by jason welsh 18 Dec '16

just wondering if anyone has figured out how to make pacmd switch the output of a certain application (lets say chrome browser) from one output (speakers) to another (usb headset). I can easily do this with the pavucontrol program, but I cant figure out how to make pacmd do it.. any ideas? Jason
