by Robert - elists 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Usually I am one of the first ones to do it I have resisted this time... It is almost the Holidays and out centos 4 boxes have been online for like 2 years or whatever Has anyone boldly taken the plunge on any high use and/or Internet facing Centos$ servers and done a yum update or a yum -y update without any problems at all? :-) - rh

Well, there's so few going right now that I'm showing 38 days to get the DVD. My normal dnld from a mirror travels appx. 600Mb/sec. I'll wait until most of the U.S. goes home before I give up and use the normal download though. Here's hoping... -- Bill

How to generate UUID for Xen?
by Kai Schaetzl 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

The new virtual machine manager in Centos 5.1 displays some weird behavior here and I assume it's because the UUID of one running VM is the same as of a VM that is shut down. I used the same config file template for creating all my test VMs, so several have the same UUID. Didn't produce any problems with xm. But the new VM manager in Gnome shows active and inactive VMs and identifies them by UUID, which results in it trying to mix the status etc. of the active and of the inactive VM. How can I generate a new UUID? I assume there's some checksum in it, so that I can't just make one up?

by Ioannis Vranos 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

OS: CentOS 5.1 x86. Hi, has anyone used any joystick under CentOS 5? Yumex shows the following joystick-related packages installed: "freeglut 2.4.0-7.1.el5" "joystick 1.2.15-20.2.2" "xorg-x11-drv-joystick 1.1.0-1.1" I am under XFCE 4.4.2 but I also have GNOME and KDE installed. Any ideas on how to configure a joystick under this configuration? Thanks a lot.

Digest Subcriber needs help with SELinux file context setting
by James B. Byrne 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

CentOS-5.1 I need some help with setting up the SELinux context for a custom httpd directory so that I can write log files into it. This is what I have: In my virtual host config file: RewriteEngine on RewriteLog /etc/httpd/virtual.d/trac-rewrite.log # RewriteLogLevel 0=off 1=basic 2=verbose 3+=module developer debuging RewriteLogLevel 0 If /etc/httpd/virtual.d/trac-rewrite.log does not already exists then when I try to start httpd I get this: ---> # service httpd start Starting httpd: [FAILED] Checking /var/log/messages I see this: # tail /var/log/messages Dec 17 16:08:01 inet01 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled files trac-rewrite.log (etc_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l cfc477ae-0443-44f7-9bd3-4ede69b03a57 Following the suggested remedy I do this: # sealert -l cfc477ae-0443-44f7-9bd3-4ede69b03a57 Summary SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled files trac-rewrite.log (etc_t). Detailed Description SELinux has denied the /usr/sbin/httpd access to potentially mislabeled files trac-rewrite.log. This means that SELinux will not allow http to use these files. Many third party apps install html files in directories that SELinux policy can not predict. These directories have to be labeled with a file context which httpd can accesss. Allowing Access If you want to change the file context of trac-rewrite.log so that the httpd daemon can access it, you need to execute it using chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t.trac-rewrite.log. You can look at the httpd_selinux man page for additional information. Additional Information Source Context user_u:system_r:httpd_t Target Context system_u:object_r:etc_t Target Objects trac-rewrite.log [ dir ] Affected RPM Packages httpd-2.2.3-11.el5.centos [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-106.el5_1.3 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name plugins.httpd_bad_labels Host Name inet01.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca Platform Linux inet01.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 01:53:35 EST 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 4 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { add_name } for comm="httpd" egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/httpd" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="trac-rewrite.log" pid=3848 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=dir tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tty=pts2 uid=0 # chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t trac-rewrite.log chcon: trac-rewrite.log: No such file or directory Providing the directory doesn't help either: # chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /etc/httpd/virtual.d/trac-rewrite.log chcon: /etc/httpd/virtual.d/trac-rewrite.log: No such file or directory But touching the file and running chcon works: # touch /etc/httpd/virtual.d/trac-rewrite.log[root@inet01 virtual.d] # chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /etc/httpd/virtual.d/trac-rewrite.log [root@inet01 virtual.d] # service httpd start Starting httpd: [ OK ] What settings in semange or chcon allow me to create files in virtual.d or should I put them elsewhere. These files tend to only be used when I am working on a new set of rules but I would rather not have this tripwire lurking in the background when I am concentrating on a different type of problem. I tried: # semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/etc/httpd/virtual.d(/.*)?" and # semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/etc/httpd/virtual.d/*\.log" But that did not make any difference for the current situation. If someone could enlighten me then i would be greatful. I realize that for some the use of SELinux is controversial. However, please do not "advise" me to drop SELinux as a remedy for this problem. We are not going to do that. Usually, we manage to configure our policies to handle situations like this as they arise using audit2allow and audit2why, I just cannot seem to find a way to generalize a solution to this one. P.S. I am a digest subscriber so that message threading is simply not going to work, Sorry, but that is just the way things are. For the same reason I also request the favour of a direct rely in addition to any to the list. Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

possible bug 5.1 - possibly more of a package issue
by dnk 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi there, not really sure if this is a bug, but more so rather a missing file... I installed a fresh 5.1 copy very minimal - no desktop, etc. Now it came up later that I would need a desktop on this install. So I was going to just groupinstall in the Gnome Desktop. # yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" Now while processing the dependencies, it fails out with a dependency for libgaim.so.0 (for package nautilus-sendto). So I tried... # yum provides libgaim.so.0 No results. Ideas? dnk

"multi-boot" drive partitioning
by Frank Cox 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

I want to set up a multiple "mode" computer with four separate Centos installations on it. The objective here is to have a "spare computer" that I can boot up into any of four "modes" depending on what I'm swapping it in for a the moment. For example, I want to be able to boot it up as a webserver, or as a fileserver, or as a LTSP-enabled application server. And so on. I have a computer here with two 300GB hard drives in it, which I plan to split into four 150GB partitions, one for each of my "modes". And I want to install Centos separately and independently into each partition, so I can just tell Grub to boot up using whatever partition I choose. What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a bad feeling that the drive partitioning tool is going to complain about having multiple / partitions unless I take steps to avoid that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
