Wake on LAN
by Timothy Murphy 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Has anyone experience with WOL under Centos (5.3).? If so, how exactly do you put the machine to sleep, and how exactly do you wake it up remotely? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Having trouble installing flash player on centos 5.3 desktop machine
by Linda Stark 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the flash player installed onto my centos desktop. When i go to the adobe site, I click on the YUM for Linux version, then install it, and PC says "/tmp/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch-1.rpm is already installed" - but it's not working. So then tried downloading the .tar.gz for linux version, and PC asks me which program to open to install it, and i don't have a clue. Then I try downloading the .rpm version for linux, and my pc says "/tmp/flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm is already installed", but it's still not working. What am I doing wrong? Thanks anyone. _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Get e-mail storage that grows with you. http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_St…

company exchange server & exim best practices.
by Rudi Ahlers 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi all, I hope this isn't too OT, but since I use a CentOS5.2 + Exim mail server (which is hosted in one of our data centres) I don't think it should be. On of our clients use an MS Exchange 2003 SBS server, with exchange for their internal email. We provide them with a domain, ADSL (which uses dynamic DNS) and POP3 email. They don't have an spam filter program on the exchange server itself due to costs, so I have setup each user on the Exim server, which runs ASSPX for anti-virus / spam filter / etc. Then I setup the SBS 2003 server to pull the email via POP3, but this doesn't seem to work too well, cause the exchange server doesn't always download the POP3 email, and then the users often sit without email until I go there to manually download the mail again. I have tried changing the MX record to point to their DynDNS address, and it works well, but then they get a lot of spam. And the cost of a server-side spam solution is just too expensive, and they also pay for the bandwidth uses when spam comes in. So, I moved their MX record back to the Linux server. But now I sit with the problem of the POP3 connector failing from time to time. So, I would like to know, is there a way to "push" (not forward) mail from the Linux server, after it has arrived and spam been blocked, to another domain, but with the same email address? i.e. the domain in question is attorneys.co.za and I've setup attorneys.dyndns.net as the dynamic domain, but the exchange serves email for attorneys.co.za Forwarding email doesn't work, since there's no such user as bob(a)attorneys.dyndns.net, but rather bob(a)attorneys.co.za. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Apache SSL key pass phrase question
by Michael A. Peters 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

I just set up a secure server. Followed the godaddy instructions for key generation/installation - and the server wanted my pass phrase to start. When I started developing I followed instructions for a self signed cert and everything went dandy. Anyway - after a little googling and an uneasy feeling that I messed up and godaddy might charge me a fee to resubmit for a new cert, I found the following solution - openssl rsa -in secure.shastaherps.key.old -out secure.shastaherps.key After running that and entering my pass phrase, no pass phrase is required to start the server and it seems like the browsers don't complain, so I think I'm set, but I thought I'd verify that all really is well and that doing that isn't going to cause any issues. If I understand it correctly, the phrase was needed when Apache starts in order to decrypt the key, and all I did above was decrypt the key so that apache doesn't have to, correct?

warning for nis users and 5.3 upgrade
by Joe Pruett 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

i think that previous versions did this as well, but for sure the newest ypserv in 5.3 replaces /var/yp/Makefile with a new copy. needless to say if you've made any changes to that file, you will not be happy. we had a couple hours of phone calls after passwords stopped working. the original file is save as Makefile.rpmsave, so recovery of the file is straightforward. the issue has been flagged upstream and it sounds like it should be fixed before any new updates to ypserv are made. /etc/ypserv.conf is another file that can get overwritten.

Newby- New install forgot Login - pwd
by rock 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi, I have just spent a whole day installing Centos 5.3 on an old machine and now as I take disc 4 out and reboot, I get the first black screen with Login and Password. I can remember being asked for one Login and pwd early in the install but chose not to use one, then it asked what the box is going to be called and I said Linux... (I think). How in earth can I get myself out of this?? Please!! oz :-(

clamav and selinux
by Craig White 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

after cleaning up a bunch or selinux alerts, I update and wham, clamav/clamd/clamav-db make me assert contexts again to /var/clamav like... chcon -t clamd_t clamav -R which temporarily solves the problem but it would be better if it were policy and not file contexts. So I search and see for some reason, /var/clamav is ignored... # grep clam /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts /etc/clamav(/.*)? system_u:object_r:clamd_etc_t:s0 /var/run/clamd.* system_u:object_r:clamd_var_run_t:s0 /var/run/clamav.* system_u:object_r:clamd_var_run_t:s0 /var/lib/clamav(/.*)? system_u:object_r:clamd_var_lib_t:s0 /var/log/clamav(/.*)? system_u:object_r:clamd_var_log_t:s0 /var/run/amavis(d)?/clamd\.pid -- system_u:object_r:clamd_var_run_t:s0 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.* -- system_u:object_r:freshclam_var_log_t:s0 /usr/sbin/clamd -- system_u:object_r:clamd_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/clamscan -- system_u:object_r:clamscan_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/clamdscan -- system_u:object_r:clamscan_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/freshclam -- system_u:object_r:freshclam_exec_t:s0 /usr/share/clamav/clamd-gen -- system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 /var/spool/amavisd/clamd\.sock -s system_u:object_r:clamd_var_run_t:s0 /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep -- system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 Is there something I don't understand or does this need to be bugzilla'd?

Kickstart regression
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

The 5.3 upgrade broke the kickstart procedures for my xen virtual machines. They are installed via http. 1. The installer sets up the timezone interactively even though it is specified in the kickstart file. Not a big deal, though. 2. The installer hangs unpredictably when installing selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-203.el5.noarch.rpm. Performing a dozen or so installs, sometimes the rpm installs just fine, sometimes the installation takes 10 minutes, sometimes the installer just seems to hang and I kill virt-install after half an hour. An nfs kickstart install of a "real" machine does not exhibit this problem. Excluding the package works, and installing it manually later gives: | ... | Installing : selinux-policy-targeted [2/2] | nagios homedir /var/spool/nagios or its parent directory conflicts with a | defined context in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts, | /usr/sbin/genhomedircon will not create a new context. This usually indicates an incorrectly defined system account. If it is a system account please make sure its login shell is /sbin/nologin. | mysql homedir /usr/local or its parent directory conflicts with a | defined context in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts, | /usr/sbin/genhomedircon will not create a new context.

On an identical vm that completed the installation successfully, the following is found in /root/install.log after the installation: | Installing selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-203.el5.noarch | /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.60754: line 4: 1493 Killed semodule -b base.pp -i dnsmasq.pp -i ipsec.pp -i virt.pp -i pyzor.pp -i amavis.pp -i clamav.pp -i razor.pp -i dcc.pp -i nagios.pp -i evolution.pp -i mplayer.pp -i mozilla.pp -i ricci.pp -i oddjob.pp -i ccs.pp -i smartmon.pp -i iscsi.pp -i pcscd.pp -i prelude.pp -i zosremote.pp -i pki.pp -s targeted I even ran this command manually after installation and it worked fine, with exit status 0.
