problems with acl permissions changing ownership
by Gerhardus.Geldenhuis＠gta-travel.com 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi I am trying to get a non privileged user to update config files for apache httpd and have attempted the following: I have set the following permissions: setfacl -m user:deployer:--x /etc/httpd setfacl -R -m u:deployer:rwx,o::--- /etc/httpd/conf.d setfacl -R -m u:deployer:rwx,o::--- /etc/httpd/conf I then have a script that is run as the deployer user to checkout config files from svn and copies it to /etc/httpd directory in the following way: cd /tmp/versioned-config; cp -Rfp --backup --suffix=.$(date +%F_%T) apache/etc/ / However when I do that the ownership of the config files changes to deployer.deployer and it looses the special permissions... How can I prevent changing of ownership? The setfacl man page suggest the use of the -p flag to preserve permissions. Should I be using ACL's? Is there a better way of doing this? The --backup flag also complicates matters and I am considering getting rid of it.

Centos 5.x SElinux issues
by Chuck Campbell 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

I did a complete clean install of CentOS 5 from CD yesterday. I took the default selinux configuration. After that I ran yum update and found 600 plus updates and installs. I let it go to do the updates and during that process I saw a large number of issues in the selinux troubleshooter. I also see these kinds of things in /var/log/messages: **Unmatched Entries** (Only first 10 out of 49031 are printed) audit: audit_backlog=262 > audit_backlog_limit=256 audit: audit_lost=1 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=256 audit: backlog limit exceeded audit: audit_backlog=262 > audit_backlog_limit=256 audit: audit_lost=2 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=256 audit: backlog limit exceeded . . . This makes me wonder if I've now got a corrupt system because of partial installs/upgrades on a number of packages ? Do I need to start over with a clean install again, and how do I avoid this problem the next time I try to run updates after the install? thanks, -chuck -- ACCEL Services, Inc.| Specialists in Gravity, Magnetics | (713)993-0671 ph. | and Integrated Interpretation | (713)993-0608 fax 633 1/2 W. 21st St.| Since 1992 | (713)306-5794 cell Houston, TX, 77008 | Chuck Campbell | campbell(a)accelinc.com | President & Senior Geoscientist | "Integration means more than having all the maps at the same scale!"

SELinux resource hog
by Noob Centos Admin 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Spinning off from the other thread about SELinux, I just tried to re-enable SELinux on my personal server hosting just email and forum for a small local community. Average load for this Intel Core 2 Duo box with 2GB of ram (usually with some 1GB free) was generally below 0.4 for the last 24hrs, averaging 0.23 based on MRTG. Once I did setenforce 1, load shot through the roof to fluctuate between 3 to 5. As per my past experience setroubleshootd started chewing up ram more than 600M and 500M worth of virt and res based on top. The server started crawling and php apps stopped communicating with mysql. I had to kill setroubleshootd in order to return things to normal. This again reflects my original experience with SELinux: massive resource hog and this is just a lowly loaded webserver. Naturally it seems to me that this doesn't seem like it should be the norm. What could be going on here or rather what could be wrong here?

How to setup a "secondary DNS server" pulling zones from Win2k3?
by Alexander Farber 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hello, we have a mixed environment at work: CentOS + Win2003 servers. The Win2k3 part contains: AD, DNS (inlc. dyndns), DHCP, DFS, Exchange. The CentOS part: NIS passwords + also a DNS server. So currently we have to update the Linux DNS server zone infos by hand: I export a text file from Windows DNS server and then edit it around using vim. On the Windows side however it's easy for me to setup additional DNS servers at other machines: I just configure them as "secondary" and they pull zone infos automatically. I wonder if there is a way to setup such a "secondary" DNS server under CentOS as well? And no, I'm not asking about how to setup a DNS-forwarder. (Because I want the Linux server to pull and maintain zone infos automatically and to work even if Windows-counterpart is down.) Regards Alex

Can anyone with a well-connected crystal ball suggest a timeframe for an IA64 release of CentOS 5? Weeks? Months? Never? Thanks Nigel Kendrick

32 or 64 bit (4 gb ram)
by Dnk 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Is there any real advantage to using 64 bit when I am right at the 4gb ram threshhold? Nice plans to add more ram. The machine will just be a backup machie (rsync). Thanks in advance. D

gnet-2.0, gio-2.0
by Ondrej Filip 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I asked on Saturday and I didn't get reply. I'm trying again. I'm porting one project to centos where we use gnet and gio libraries. Will be these libraries part of centos in future? I'm not sure what relationship is between these libraries and glib. Regards Ondrej Filip
