rpm problem after upgrade
by Andres Baravalle 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hi, I have upgraded Centos from 3.x to 4.3. The upgrade apparently didn't go too bad. I had to do the upgrade remotely, and I used as a base the post at http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=382 I rebooted the server, and it works. But yum does not work anymore, apparently due to some conflict between rpmlibs and selinux. This is the error that I get: -------------------------- There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined symbol: rpmtsSetREContext Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 22 2005, 04:09:37) [GCC 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)] -------------------------- These are the relevant rpms that I have installed in my system: python-2.3.4-14.1 rpm-4.3.3-13_nonptl rpm-libs-4.3.3-13_nonptl yum-2.4.2-2.centos4 any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Andres

Ownership of /dev/snd/*
by Joseph Haig 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

I have several users using a machine running CentOS 4.4. For some reason, the ownership of /dev/snd/* seem to get left with a user when he has logged out (me at the moment) which means that no one else can use sound. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening, or give some pointers? Thanks Joe

New 4.4 install PHP security concern
by Eucke 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello everyone. I am an FC2 refugee that's been lurking for a while. I am finishing up a Centos 4.4 build and am going through looking at security issues. In running a nessus scan I am finding it complaining about the versions for php, php-ldap, php-mbstring and php-pear. The complaint indicates that a much newer version of this exists and specifically names php-5.0.4-4.centos4 (by way of example). In researching this I am finding that this is not deemed to be part of the upgrade path for the default version in 4.4. I am also finding numerous issues with this "recommended" version breaking things right and left. I've searched the forums and the web so I decided to post here. Has anyone replaced the stock php (and related items) build and been perfectly happy with the results? Any reason why this "newer" version of php is not part of the natural upgrade path? Any writeups by anyone that has walked this path already? Thanks in advance! -- Eucke

problems with yum and 4.3-->4.4
by Larry Vaden 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Are the problems with yum in the Centos 4.3->>4.4 upgrade process due to a forked or obsolete version of yum? I briefly scanned <https://lists.dulug.duke.edu> and didn't see any problems, but did see some incidents regarding yum hangs reported about a year ago. regarding the current upgrade, Seth Vidal in <https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/linux/2006-September/000569.html> wrote: <quote> You should be able to get all of these and more with: yum update Let us know what breaks, -sv </quote> No replies added to the thread indicating the folks at Duke aren't having problems with the update to Centos 4.4 whereas folks on the Centos list have reported quite a few problems. Kind regards, Larry Vaden Internet Texoma, Inc.

Root directory ownership/perms
by Hugh E Cruickshank 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Centos 4.3 Hi All: I just shot myself in the foot by change the owner/perms on the contents of the root directory (my bad!!!). I have done a quick compare with a running RHEL3U8 system and think I have every thing back to what it should be except for new directories media and selinux. Can someone out there currently running 4.3 send me an "ls -l" of their root directory so I can make sure I have got everything back as it should be? Alternately is there some command within Linux that will fix these up for me (we used to have something like this on SCO OSR5 but I have not been able to locate anything for Linux)? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

pptp vpn through CentOS 4.3.
by Stromgol 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello, We can't connect to our pptp server through our CentOS gateway with a XP client. The linux client is working but not the XP client. I know for a fact that the pptp server is not the problem because if I connect the XP machine directly to the Internet the pptp vpn is working. I know about the pptp-conntrack-nat patch, I compiled the 2.4.9 kernel, with patch-o-matic-ng-20060511.tar.bz2 without any problem. But compiling iptables end with this error: make: *** [extensions/libipt_connlimit_sh.o] Error 1 I'm wondering if we really need that patch, because that patch seems to be only needed when you want simultaneous pptp connection, which is not my case. I only want to be able to make a simple pptp connection. Any pointers? Thanks.

Re: Gnome Desktop Screensaver Security Lock Override?

I infer then that there is no such capability built into gnome, correct? It appears then that we will have to disable the screensvar terminal lock function since too many people in our organization have the habit of just leaving that desk with their sessions left on. Is there an auto logout capability in CentOS-4 that I can enable instead, so that after say 10 minutes of inactivity the user session is terminated?
