SMART errors Hardware_ECC_Recovered and Raw_Read_Error_Rate
by MrKiwi 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi All, Im seeing these errors (below) between 2 and 40 times a day, for the last year (or more if i had the older logs) in /var/log/messages. The values consistently toggle between 4 or so values, drifting up and down but never outside the mean +-2 /dev/hda sits around 21 to 38 degrees (according to smartctl) Does anyone know *how* serious they are? I cant find much on the web other than the theory that any error is bad, so replace the disk. Thanks for your time, MrKiwi.

13 Jun '07

How does one configure a fence device in the form of a NIC card in centos 5? Is the gnbd item relevant to this? I have posted the question to linux-cluster also, but they are much less active overall, -so if you have info, massively appreciated... -karl

Hi, I was trying to install openssl-devel via yum on CentOS 5 x86 and notice that it requires i386 package. Installing: openssl-devel x86_64 0.9.8b-8.3.el5 base 1.8 M openssl-devel i386 0.9.8b-8.3.el5 base 1.8 M And below are the errors. Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/asn1parse.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 file /usr/share/man/man1/nseq.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 file /usr/share/man/man1/ocsp.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 file /usr/share/man/man1/smime.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5 Why does a x86 structure requires i386 package? regards

Selinux custom policy issue - Centos 5
by Miskell, Craig 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi, I've got a Centos 5 box (recently replaced a Centos4 box of the same function). The means of applying custom SELinux policy has changed somewhat from 4->5. I've got it mostly figured out; I have a local.te file with my custom policy and also which defines a few new file types, and a local.fc with appropriate defintions of file contexts. When I run: # checkmodule -M -m -o local.mod local.te # semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod # semodule -i local.pp (all in /usr/share/selinux/targeted), the policy gets installed and works properly. However, I can't then use fixfiles or the like to set the custom file contexts (my custom file contexts aren't installed in the main policy). I can apply them manually with chcon, but that's icky and not "The One True Way(tm)". So, if I do: # checkmodule -M -m -o local.mod local.te # semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod -f local.fc # semodule -i local.pp I get the following output: libsepol.context_from_record: MLS is enabled, but no MLS context found libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure libsepol.context_from_string: could not create context structure libsepol.sepol_context_to_sid: could not convert system_u:object_r:file_upload_store_t to sid /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: line 537 has invalid context system_u:object_r:file_upload_store_t libsemanage.semanage_install_active: setfiles returned error code 1. Where file_upload_store_t is one of my custom types. My local.fc looks like this: /data/spool/blastreq(/.*)? system_u:object_r:blast_req_t /data/spool/blastres(/.*)? system_u:object_r:blast_res_t /data/upload(/.*)? system_u:object_r:file_upload_store_t /data/bfiles(/.*)? system_u:object_r:bfiles_t /var/www/possumbase/html/imagetemp(/.*)? system_u:object_r:http_image_temp_t /var/www/sheep/html/imagetemp(/.*)? system_u:object_r:http_image_temp_t And my local.te contains (selected portions only for now): module local 1.1; require { ... <various normal requires> ... } type blast_req_t,file_type; allow httpd_sys_script_t blast_req_t:file { create getattr write}; allow httpd_sys_script_t blast_req_t:dir { read getattr lock search ioctl add_name write }; ...etc So, looks like I need to do something else, possibly in my local.fc. However, my google-fu is not strong enough to find any actual examples of successful custom file context type creation/installation using selinux modules. I suspect something simple, but haven't a clue what it is. Anyone got any idea what I need to do different? Thanks, Craig Miskell NB: To avoid the whole flamewar: "Turn off SELinux" is not a useful answer in this case ;-) Craig Miskell, Technical Support, AgResearch Invermay 03 489-9279 "I think that if I ever put a *nix distribution together, the mailer's installation will include several pieces of spam in the initial mail spool." -- Chris Reuter ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from AgResearch Limited is intended only for the persons or entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

PGP On Centos
by Karl R. Balsmeier 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hey I need to run some pgp commands, -what's the name of the package supported by Centos that will allow me to work with pgp? I need to run pgp --fingerprint key.name or it's equivalent. Pro question. Google searches didn't show much, tried to search for pgp, gnupg, openpgp, pgp on centos, openpgp on centos, centos/pgp. No worthy results came back. Any advice? -karlski

CentOS 5 and Java
by Niki Kovacs 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi, I just installed CentOS 5 on a few machines, to experiment with it. I have some trouble installing a Java plugin for Firefox. I've searched through the forum and read the various info at jpackage.org, and I'm a bit confused. 1) Can you point me to some reliable bit of information, even if it's laconic? 2) If I understand the info on http://jpackage.org/yum.php correctly, Java is not yet available for CentOS 5. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers, Niki -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

NFSv4 hangs on file open
by Pawel Salek 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi, I have a relatively loaded CentOS5 server (64-bit, dual core) and a mixed bag of Fedora 6/CentOS4, 32-, and 64-bit clients. NFSv3 works without problem. References over NFSv4 hang occasionally, in particular on file opening. I wonder whether there is anybody here who can help to trace it, or can suggest a more appropriate forum? The one hang that I have been able to trace involved only CentOS5/2.6.18-8.1.4.el5. The server is 64-bit, client: 32-bit. Hang happened when a program was about to be executed from NFSv4 share. LD_LIBRARY_PATH included a directory on this share. gdb backtrace revealed that the process was being loaded in memory, and an attempt to open (non-existing) library file never completed. /Pawel strace -p 19289 Process 19289 attached - interrupt to quit open("/pkg/pgi/5.2-4//linux86/5.2/lib/libg2c.so.0", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...> gdb program.x 19289 0x0063cb04 in open () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (gdb) where 0 0x0063cb04 in open () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 1 0x0062d6c5 in open_verify () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 2 0x0062dc6a in open_path () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 3 0x0063055f in _dl_map_object () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 4 0x006340d6 in openaux () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 5 0x00635b46 in _dl_catch_error () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 6 0x0063469a in _dl_map_object_deps () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 7 0x0062b40e in dl_main () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 8 0x0063b8bb in _dl_sysdep_start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 9 0x006292b8 in _dl_start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 10 0x00628817 in _start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 The NFSv4 is automounted (direct mount): cat /etc/auto.pkg /pkg -fstype=nfs4 server:/i32 For what is worth, I tried NFSv4 with CentOS4 server but it was hopeless (server would stop responding or panic). Older kernel releases of Fedora6 (2.6.19?) were hopeless too, with similar symptoms. Anybody knows who may be interested in some detailed bug report, or help debugging the problem? Pawel PS. The server logs plenty of messages: NFSD: setclientid: string in use by client(clientid 46604ac4/00000016) but my rpc.idmapd configuration is correct as far as I can tell..
