Sylpheed-Claws aka Claws-Mail
by Alex White 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Question! I took the spec from Claws-Mail (formerly called Sylpheed-Claws) of FC6 and updated it from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1 (correctly I believe). I created the rpms from the build and I suppose I will sign them and put them up on kuei-jin.org. My question is, should I give them to someone to see if what I did is correct? QA?? I didn't edit any source or anything. I know that it works because I installed it on my machine and it's fetching mail right now. I had to rebuild libetpan as well. That spec file was really simple and didn't require me to change anything other than the version number. I left everything else the same. I have srpms and debugintfo and devel packages that can be retrieved from my website if anyone wants to look at it. In hind sight, I may not have needed to rebuild lietpan but I did for the sake of completeness. I like sylpheed, there was no other pressing reason for me to bother with making the packages though. Sincerely, Alex White

Squirrelmail Change Password Plugin Problem
by cghalnin＠pnri.dost.gov.ph 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Hi, I have recently setup CENTOS ver.4.4 as our mail server and I have installed Squirrelmail as our Mail User Agent. Everything seems to be working fine but I encountered problems in one of the plugins of Squirrelmail which is the Change Password plugins that changes the password in the shadow file. The change password function doesn't seems to work because Squirrelmail replies an error message that does not allow the change password function to change the password of the users. My first guess is because of the file security setting and I can't seems to go around this. One thing I notice though is that when the file is inside the /var/www/html/ directory, the php scripts that I have tried to edit a file seems to work but if the file is outside this directory just in the case of the shadow file which is located at /etc/ directory it doesn't seems to work or it does not allow the file to be modified. Can you please help with this? I would really appreciated your help.

usermod and useradd errors
by dnk 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

I am not sure if anyone else has run into this, but i did today when setting upo a samba server. http://lists.gobolinux.org/pipermail/gobolinux-users/2007-February/004413.h… In an nutshell you get an error like: "usermod: invalid numeric argument", or the user groups are never assigned, etc. So I have been managing manually. I get the exact same symptoms, etc (but doing things like appending groups, etc). Apparently it can be fixed by downgrading Shadow package to 4.0.17, however with a quick little "rpm -qa | grep shadow", I can see the version with Centos 5 is shadow-utils-4.0.17-12.el5. I have not spent much time digging in deeper as of yet, but wanted ot see if any others have had this issue in Centos 5. DK

Dumb question (KDE Trash Can)
by Mark Weaver 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

Hi All, I've got a really dumb question. I seem to have lost my Trash Can on my KDE desktop and try and as I might I can't get it back. Anyone have any idea how I can create this again or get it back? It's on the desktop as it should be in Gnome, but has disappeared from the KDE desktop. -- Mark "If you have found a very wise man, then you've found a man that at one time was an idiot and lived long enough to learn from his own stupidity." ============================================== Powered by CentOS5 (RHEL5)

Learning SELINUX management, help?
by Ben Russo 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

OK, so setup CENTOS-5 on a laptop to learn about Xen stuff. KDE Desktop, wanted to print the virt.108.com xen howto. Needed to setup printer first. Open KDE control center, go to printers. Hear error sound, message says "Unable to retrieve the printer list.... Connection to CUPS server failed. ..." So I check to see that cups is running (it is). I check /var/log/messages and see: Apr 19 15:19:52 fox setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/cupsd (cupsd_t) "read write" access to socket:[15083] (rpm_var_lib_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 23689411-4e18-4009-b105-779c58b0503f So, I run sealert (as indicated) and see the message about cups (see below for output) I checked in /usr/share/docs/selinux-policy-2.4.6/html and find no references (using grub) for "cupsd_disable_trans" I google on "cupsd_disable_trans" and find no references either. How do I find out what this boolean object is or does? Is there a description of it somewhere? Is it dangerous to just run the command that sealert tells me to run? [root@fox log]# sealert -l 23689411-4e18-4009-b105-779c58b0503f Summary SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/cupsd (cupsd_t) "read write" access to socket:[15083] (rpm_var_lib_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/cupsd. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/cupsd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for socket:[15083], restorecon -v socket:[15083]. There is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 - or you can disable SELinux protection entirely for the application. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Changing the "cupsd_disable_trans" boolean to true will disable SELinux protection this application: "setsebool -P cupsd_disable_trans=1." The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P cupsd_disable_trans=1 Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Target Context system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t Target Objects socket:[15083] [ file ] Affected RPM Packages cups-1.2.4-11.5.1.el5 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-30.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name plugins.disable_trans Host Name fox Platform Linux fox 2.6.18-8.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 21:02:53 EDT 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { read, write } for comm="cupsd" dev=dm-0 egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/cupsd" exit=0 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="__db.000" path="socket:[15083]" pid=5515 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 suid=0 tclass=file tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 tty=tty1 uid=0 I checked in /usr/share/docs/selinux-policy-2.4.6/html and find no references (using grub) for "cupsd_disable_trans" How do I find out what this boolean object is or does?
