perplexing permissions issue
by Dave 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hello, I have a perplexing permissions problem that i thought i had, but it's resurfaced. I'm running CentOS 5.3 and it runs an apache web server. The permissions on the web data directory in this case /var/www/secure/data are set to 4775 owner of apache group of webdev. All users that should be allowed to place content are in the webdev group. I was under the impression that any file then placed in that directory would have a owner of apache and a group of webdev permissions of 664. Whenever a locally logged on user adds content permissions are set to 664 but owner and group membership are that of the user who added the files not apache and webdev. The issue is further compounded when a user logs in via ftp and adds files or folders. They are owned by the ftp user and group. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

did CentOS x86 5.3 migrate to another hard drive, but console login keeps prompting even with correct password
by choyaumeshu 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

first time poster here - hello everyone I started out with CentOS x86 5.3 with the following partitions on my source hard drive: /dev/hdc1 swap /dev/hdc2 / I did the following to migrate my CentOS box to the destination hard drive: 1. boot up with CentOS 5.3 livecd in rescue mode 2. partition destination hard drive (/dev/hdd) /dev/hdd1 swap /dev/hdd2 / 3. create the filesystem on the destination hard drive mke2fs -j /dev/hdd2 mkswap /dev/hdd1 4. mount partitions and then copied files from /dev/hdc2 to /dev/hdd2 mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/aa mount /dev/hdd2 /mnt/bb cd /mnt/aa tar --one-file-system -cf - . | tar -xpf - -C /mnt/bb 5. modify /boot/grub/menu.lst on both /dev/hdc2 and /dev/hdd2 6. modify /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab 7. umount partitions 8. run grub 9. reboot out of rescue mode The original system still boots up fine and I am able to login. The new system which is supposedly a copy of the original system seems to boot up fine (everything had green OK), but I have problems at the login prompt. If I login with incorrect password, I get a message telling me that login is incorrect. If I try to login with the correct password, the system seems to accept the password, but then prompts me again to login, and it keeps doing this when I continually try to login. additional info: 1. can boot up system in single user mode 2. sshd is up but can't ssh in even with correct password here's the output (i modified the user name and the ip address) ssh -l user1 ipaddress user1@ipaddress's password: /bin/bash: Permission denied Connection to ipaddress closed. I'm sorry if this has already been addressed in the forums/mailinglists, but my attempted search didn't show me anything fruitful. Also, I'd don't want to use dd, and I would prefer not to use partimage. Your help will be appreciated and thanks for reading this far.

ls -l output
by Jacob Bresciani 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

OK, this should be an easy fix but I can't find it, and it's strictly a cosmetic's issue. on our older Gentoo systems if you do an ls -a it orders the results with all the . files ordered alphabetically then all the non-hidden files alphabetically. it also sorts with capitals first. on the new Centos 5.3 systems ls -a returns all the files sorted alphabetically with capital's and smalls being equal and the . at the start of a hidden file appears to be ignored. There are no alias's in place on either system. eg.) Gentoo: ------------ $ ls -a . .. .Xauthority .bashrc .omega Documents alpha scripts Centos: ------------ $ ls -a . .. alpha .bashrc Documents .omega scripts .Xauthority I'd prefer to see things the Gentoo way. Any idea's?

Problem with userland/module versions
by mbneto 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hi, I am using a centos 5.3 and after a kernel upgrade I've reinstalled the kmod so it could copy/create the links to the .ko files. When I start the drbd I receive messages like this: DRBD module version: 8.2.6 userland version: 8.3.2 preferably kernel and userland versions should match. I'd like to know how 'serious' is this difference (in terms of potential problems) and if there is anyone using the kmod-drbd 8.3 version win centos (rpm). Regards.

postgresql-tcl-8.1.15-1.el4s1.1 in CentOSPlus (4) -- build error
by Robert Heller 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Whoever is building this RPM needs to check his/her build logs. The pkgIndex.tcl in /usr/lib/Pgtcl is not being built properly! The pkg_mkIndex procedure does not always throw an obvious error -- sometimes it just does not create the 'package ifneeded ...' line(s), and just quietly skips a package. Something is broken in the build process. Both the version above (which I just installed) and the previous one had this problem. I manually fixed it, but it really needs to be fixed so it properly installs a working pkgIndex.tcl file (and does not break things). -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller(a)deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

Dear All, I am attempting to install cacti on CentOS 5.3 64 bit, and I checked the wiki, only to find that the instructions are a bit out of date. Have these instructions been updated somewhere, or does anyone have updated instructions, maybe with known gotchas etc? --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel

Hi, I was wondering what is the current status fro ext4 support in Centos. I've noticed that is marked as dev when I try to use it from the installer. Does anybody have a scary story to prevent using it?

user defined udev rules
by Alexey Skidanov 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hi, I would like to change permissions of /dev/sda* and /dev/hda* files to 0644. I added the following rules to 99-udev.rules files: KERNEL=="[hs]d*", OWNER="root" GROUP="disk", MODE="0644 After restarting udev by strat_udev, I checked that permissions were changed: [root@gini rules.d]# ll /dev/sda* brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 0 Sep 2 2009 /dev/sda brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 1 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/sda1 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 2 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/sda2 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 3 Sep 2 2009 /dev/sda3 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 4 Sep 2 2009 /dev/sda4 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 5 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/sda5 But permissions of /dev/hda file were not changed. Moreover, the owner of this file is changed: [root@gini rules.d]# ll /dev/hda* brw------- 1 alexey-s disk 3, 0 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/hda Looking into /var/log/messages: Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/hda', major = '3', minor = '0', mode = '0644', uid = '0', gid = '6' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/cdrom' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/cdrom-hda' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/dvd' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/dvd-hda' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:02:00.0-ide-0:0' to '../../hda' The problem: it's look like the udev rules file works fine, but permissions and owner of /dev/hda file are changed. Thanks, Alexey
