Auto update
by Morrien, Rob 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hello, at this moment we use redhat and centos on mylaptop. I upgraded from centos 5.2 to 5.3. I have something strange, my auto update is not running any more, if I start the update process manually and it is working. If i do a clean install of centos 5.3 on a pc or laptop it is working. My question is why is the auto update not running any more afther the update process.

Thunderbird installed for python dependency?
by Bowie Bailey 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I was starting to run a yum update on one of my servers and noticed that it wanted to install Thunderbird for some reason. Running yum with the '-v' option gave this output: gamin-python-0.1.7-8.el5.i386 requires: /usr/lib/python2.4 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib/python2.4 for package: gamin-python Needed Require is not a package name. Looking up: /usr/lib/python2.4 Potential Provider: python.i386 0:2.4.3-24.el5 Mode is u for provider of /usr/lib/python2.4: python.i386 0:2.4.3-24.el5 Mode for pkg providing /usr/lib/python2.4: u Cannot find an update path for dep for: /usr/lib/python2.4 Searching pkgSack for dep: /usr/lib/python2.4 Potential match for /usr/lib/python2.4 from python-2.4.3-24.el5.i386 Potential match for /usr/lib/python2.4 from thunderbird-2.0.0.22-2.el5.centos.i386 python-2.4.3-24.el5.i386 is in providing packages but it is already installed, removing.

I don't really want Thunderbird installed on a server. Any suggestions? Thanks -- Bowie

Terminal emulation and serial ports
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I have to reinit a firewall that can only be done from its console port, and I do not have an XP system with Hyperterminal on it. So I went through the archive and learned that minicom could do the job for me. I installed it and went to configure it (minicom -s). I can set the speeds, but the challenge is selecting the serial device. I have a Serial-to-USB dongle, and when I connect it, the gnome hardware browser is showing a FIDI usb serial converter that was not there before connecting the dongle. But what /dev/thingee do I put into the minicom configuration?

Hello, Today I updated one of our computers running CentOS 5.3 32bit. After a reboot I notice the following with lsof -i sshd 3638 root 3u IPv6 17317 TCP pc46.astro.up.pt:ssh->119.1.193.205:zephyr-clt (ESTABLISHED) sshd 3639 sshd 3u IPv6 17317 TCP pc46.astro.up.pt:ssh->119.1.193.205:zephyr-clt (ESTABLISHED) What is this connection? IPtables is on and SELinux is on enforcing mode. Thanks, Manuel Monteiro

anaconda and x86_64
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I'm trying to build a bugfixed anaconda package for 5.3 x84_64, but there are some fairly basic failures, like pkg-config .pc files not being found. When I modify the spec file accordingly, linking fails because installed libraries are not found. $ rpmbuild -ba anaconda.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.25019 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + LANG=C + export LANG + unset DISPLAY + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + rm -rf anaconda-11.1.2.168 + /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/anaconda-11.1.2.168.tar.bz2 + tar -xf - ... for d in isys wlite stubs loader2 po textw utils scripts bootdisk installclasses iw pixmaps isomd5sum command-stubs ui fonts; do make -C $d depend; done make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/anaconda-11.1.2.168/isys' grep NFS_MOUNT_VERSION /usr/include/linux/nfs_mount.h | sed -e 's/NFS/KERNEL_NFS/' > nfs_mountversion.h Package libdhcp6client was not found in the pkg-config search path.

self signing certificates

It is considered required practice that root CA and issuing CAs must be physically isolated from all network connections and that floppy or sneaker net must be used to handle incoming CSR and outgoing CERTS. If you are simply using certs for encryption and not for authentication then this practice probably can be safely dispensed with. If you ARE using certs for authentication then this provision is absolutely required. The arrangement of self-signed root CA <--CSR--- Issuing CA <--CSR--- end-user is now critical for Firefox users. Releases in the 3.x series will no longer trust any self-signed CA certificate. So, to avoid the warning box in Firefox you must have the end use certificates signed by an intermediate CA whose own certificate may however be signed by a self-signed root. > Yet this is not a public web site either. Just internal use. > The server might be on the internet but people from the internet > are not using it. > Well, the available software has no way of figuring that out for itself, so it makes no difference.
