I am trying to get esata working. my lspci is below. When I plug in the disk an turn it on - dmesg reports nothing. Is it supposed to report anything like a usb disk does? Is there a module to load?

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

by Devraj Mukherjee 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hello all, I am using the c5-testing repo to fetch PHP 5.2.6 and related libraries, required for the LAMP apps that I want to use. php-mcrypt still seems to come from the extras repo and is version 5.1.6 and the php binary doesn't load this module. Any ideas on howto get php-mcrypt 5.2.6? Thanks. -- "The secret impresses no-one, the trick you use it for is everything" - Alfred Borden (The Prestiege)
