Problem with evolution while upgrading to CentOS 5.2
by Bernhard Gschaider 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hi! When trying to prepare a workstation with (so that the real "yum upgrade" doesn't have to download the packages) yum upgrade --upgradeonly it fails with these messages: Error: Missing Dependency: libegroupwise-1.2.so.12 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency: libgtkhtml-3.8.so.15 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency: libexchange-storage-1.2.so.2 is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency: libexchange-storage-1.2.so.2()(64bit) is needed by package evolution Error: Missing Dependency: libegroupwise-1.2.so.12()(64bit) is needed by package evolution On the test-machine I solved this by deinstalling evolution (I don't use it anyway), but this is not an option for the other machines Could anyone give me a hint what is wrong?

Suggestions for a plug and play CA certificate manager?
by James B. Byrne 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I have played with self-signed end-use PKI certificates for about a decade now and would really like to set up a proper, albeit private, PKI using some sort of OFS CA management software. I have looked at OpenCA and found a few packages on sourceforge but they all seem to fall short of my desires in one form or another (rpm install, multiple subordinate CAs, certificate revocation and extension management, web-based or linux/microsoft GUI) . I have even tried to use the scripts that come with OpenSSL with very limited success. What I would like to do is to set up a self-signed root CA certificate, then use that to issue one or more signing CA's, each possibly limited as to what type of certificate that they can sign. These issuing CAs would then sign certificate requests for end-use certificates for hosts, email accounts, document provenance, objects, etc. | -- root_CA | | -- issuer_hosts_a_CA | | -- certs | | | -- cert_issued_index | | ` -- cert_revoked_list | | -- csrs | ` -- private | ` -- issuer_hosts_a_CA+key.pem | | -- issuer_services_a_CA | | -- certs | | | -- cert_issued_index | | ` -- cert_revoked_list | | -- csrs | ` -- private | ` -- issuer_services_a_CA+key.pem | ` -- issuer_email_a_CA | -- certs | | -- cert_issued_index | ` -- cert_revoked_list | -- csrs ` -- private ` -- issuer_email_a_CA+key.pem What software do people use to manage a PKI on CentOS5?

I have googled and have not found some nice clear such as step 1,2,3... and why use this configuration. -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

rsh issue/update (access denied)...
by bruce 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

hi... i've got an "access denied" issue with rsh on one of my boxes (and before we start, no "use ssh" comments.. rsh is what i'm dealing with for now!!) i've got a few boxes in my network, and i can successfully rsh into them with no issue. however, on one box, i can't access it using rsh, and i'm running out of things to try... kind of curious. i can login using rlogin. i've modifed the /etc/pam.d/rsh,rlogin files, along with the /etc/securetty file. i've also changed the /etc/xinetd.d/(rsh,rlogin)files. as far as i can tell, nothing else has been changed... the curious thing. as far as i can tell... the files on the system that doesn't work, are the same as the files on the systems that are allowing rsh to occur... the err i'm getting in the /var/log/secure is: Jun 23 22:16:09 lserver5 userhelper[2186]: pam_timestamp(system-config-services:session): updated timestamp file `/var/run/sudo/root/unknown' Jun 23 22:16:09 lserver5 userhelper[2189]: running '/usr/sbin/system-config-services' with root privileges on behalf of 'root' Jun 23 22:16:28 lserver5 xinetd[2227]: START: shell pid=2239 from=192.168.1.45 Jun 23 22:16:28 lserver5 rshd[2239]: pam_rhosts_auth(rsh:auth): denied to root(a)192.168.1.45 as test1: access not allowed Jun 23 22:16:28 lserver5 rshd[2239]: pam_unix(rsh:session): session opened for user test1 by (uid=0) Jun 23 22:16:28 lserver5 rshd[2239]: pam_unix(rsh:session): session closed for user test1 etc/pam.d/rsh #%PAM-1.0 # For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rsh" must be # listed in /etc/securetty. auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_rhosts_auth.so promiscuous auth required pam_securetty.so auth required pam_env.so account include system-auth session include system-auth etc/pam.d/rlogin #%PAM-1.0 # For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rlogin" must be # listed in /etc/securetty. auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_rhosts_auth.so promiscuous auth required pam_securetty.so auth required pam_env.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth password include system-auth session include system-auth /etc/securetty rsh rlogin rlogind rexec console vc/1 vc/2 vc/3 vc/4 vc/5 . . . /etc/xinetd.d/rexec:: # description: Rexecd is the server for the rexec(3) routine.

Is there a way to turn off/disable securetty... so... any thoughts/comments/things to check would be greatly appreciated.... thanks

DNS query
by fabian dacunha 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Dear All, i have the following setup CentOS 5 server running as a primary DNS server for a long time and is working perfectly fine the server is on public IP and we have abt 5 zones apart from the reverse n local zone now our sister company have recently setup their own DNS and we are supposed to use it. earlier our cleints were using a host file now on my master dns server in /etc/named.conf i created a new zone with the following statement zone "cse.net.kw" IN { type slave; masters { 172.31.1.240; }; file "cse.db"; allow-query { any; }; // the default allow-transfer { none; }; }; and when i reload the dns server the file cse.db is not created also in /var/log/messages i c the following Jun 24 18:17:41 kmdns1 named[1771]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Jun 24 18:17:41 kmdns1 named[1771]: zone cse.net.kw/IN: refresh: non-authoritative answer from master 172.31.1.240#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0) actually i would want all the cleints to query the 172.31.1.240 DNS server without adding this IP in their configurtion . all the cleint hav our master dns server in their own setup so actually query 172.31.1.240 DNS server through our DNS apprecite your help or cd i have contitional forwarding something like when a client queries the 172.31.1.240 our master DNS jus forwards the queries to 172.31.1.240 instead of sending it out on the internet since 172.31.1.0 network is connected directly and is a part of out intranet really wd apprecite your help and ideas with examples regards fabian -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

CentOS 5 based distribution
by A.B. 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I've been trying to create a Linux distribution based on CentOS 5, similar to (actually, exactly like) how CentOS is based on RHEL. I have been unable to find any information about this. Most of what I find are tutorials and instructions on using Kickstart. Sometimes I've found allusions to doing this, but nothing that gives all the instructions necessary to modify Anaconda (or other files) sufficiently. I have found an excellent walkthrough ( http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/ublinux/) on creating a distribution based on RHEL 4. While following the instructions I have found that not everything is in exactly the same place when using CentOS 5, but the descriptions are close enough that I have been able to figure it out and create a mostly "rebranded" install DVD. One thing that the above walkthrough does not explain is how to change all the text and images (it points to most of the images) and the default "packages". By that I mean the screen where the installer asks what additional tasks I would like the system to include support for: i.e. Desktop - Gnome, Server, Server - GUI, etc... I have been unable to find where this information, and some of the other text the installer uses (for example, "Searching for CentOS installations"), is stored. I've greped the entire DVD (including the expanded stage2.img file), but cannot find this text anywhere. Is the information stored in a compiled executable? If so, which executable will I need to recompile? Thanks.

recommendations for copying large filesystems
by Mag Gam 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I need to copy over 100TB of data from one server to another via network. What is the best option to do this? I am planning to use rsync but is there a better tool or better way of doing this? For example, I plan on doing rsync -azv /largefs /targetfs /targetfs is a NFS mounted filesystem. Any thoughts? TIA
