openssl package possibly different in CentOS and RHEL
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

I've just had a problem on one of my x86_64 boxes with openssl package. I have an 32-bit only application that requires openssl libraries. When I attempted to install openssl.i686 (in addition to already present openssl.x86_64), it failed. The rpm complained about conflicting files (they were all manpages), and I needed to use --force option to install the thing. The good folks at Red Hat were not able to reproduce it, and I don't have a spare x86_64 box to test it with original RHEL4 myself. Would be nice if somebody could test installing openssl.i686 (in parallel to openssl.x86_64) on x86_64 box, both under CentOS 4 and under original RHEL4. It could be just something wrong with my installation, or there might be discrepancy between CentOS and RHEL openssl packages. -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

Restarting mouse services
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

I move my notebook around my office. Sometimes I am using the internal pointers, sometimes a USB mouse, and sometimes a USB keyboard/mouse adapter that is plugged into a kvm (actually two of them). With one of these USB k/m adapters, when I plug in, the system fails to recognize the mouse (but no problem with the keyboard). The 2 adapters are the same brand/model (Aten), but the KVMs are different Aten masterviews. Of course I would like to figure out why this is happening and get it to stop, but meanwhile is there a way to restart the mouse services.

Mdadm Dependancies - Centos 4.3
by centos＠bathnetworks.com 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hiya, I have a mail server (Qmail) and just tried to install mdadm to monitor the raid arrays via Yum and it tried to install exim. Is this correct? I guess that it is looking for an MTA so why is it not finding Qmail (linked to /usr/lib/sendmail). One possibility is that I used yum to actually uninstall sendmail, but installed qmail from source as it needed patching. Any way out of this apart from installing mdadm from an rpm with no deps/ Rob

SELinux targeted + httpd + suexec
by Leonardo Vilela Pinheiro 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, I have read: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003429.html, http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/sn-using-other-types.html RedHat Selinux Documentation (PDF) (some parts) and they helped me solve a some difficulties, including the necessity to mount /var/www with -o suid. Now I'm getting these 2 errors in /var/log/messages whenever I execute a cgi: %-------------------------- avc: denied { create } for pid=17995 comm="suexec" scontext=root:system_r:httpd_suexec_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_suexec_t tclass=netlink_route_socket avc: denied { read } for pid=17995 comm="suexec" name="cert.pem" dev=dm-0 ino=520402 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_suexec_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=lnk_file %-------------------------- This is independent of the script being perl or sh, and despite the errors the cgi executes correctly. 'sestatus' reports: httpd_builtin_scripting active httpd_disable_trans inactive httpd_enable_cgi active httpd_enable_homedirs inactive httpd_ssi_exec inactive httpd_tty_comm inactive httpd_unified inactive Either httpd_ssi_exec or httpd_unified have made no difference in those errors. When I deactivate mod_suexec and comment SuexecUserGroup in Apache configs, those errors stop appearing. So I think this problem has to do directly with selinux policy and mod_suexec. Could this be a bug on selinux-policy-targeted, that doesn't bring 100% support for the "native" mod_suexec? -- Vilela

Sudo Build Parameters
by Camron W. Fox 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Alle, I know this is available somewhere and I've read it before but I can't seem to find it know that I need it (age is definitely catching up to me). I'm trying to find out the build parameters used with the current installation of sudo-1.6.7p5-30.1.3, specifically, whether "--with-ldap" was used. Sorry for the inconvenience.

yum vs up2date
by John Summerfied 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other than general discussion, I'd also like to know what I'd muss by using up2date on CentOS. I'll start with this: What has yum that provides this functionality: up2date -d -u -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list

Info requested on XEN and CentOS4.3
by James B. Byrne 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

First, I am a digest subscriber and I request the favour of a direct reply in addition to any to the list. I have installed xen-3.0-x86_32-rhel4.1 on CentOS4.3 and everything seems fine ( thanks to Karanbir Singh's helpful notes) but I have a couple of items to put to the list for clarification. 1. I had to remove the OS version check to get past the install script's requirement for RHEL-4.1. I know that this is not a good thing and I would like to know what alternatives, if any, are preferred to handle this sort of issue. 2. I had to remove lksctp-tools and lksctp-tools-devel in order to get xen to build. What are the implications of this? 3. On the first boot after installing xen I received a warning suggesting that I rename /lib/tls to /lib/tls.disabled. What is the reasons for this and what are the implications of doing so?

4.4 update quits unexpectedly
by Tom Elsesser 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

After 2 good updates to 4.4, my 3rd is giving me trouble. I did all 3 installs the same: yum clean all yum update python-sqlite sqlite yum yum clean all yum upgrade This one, however, quits during the header download. I get "[Errno -1] Header not complete, trying another mirror", then "[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try". I am not going thru a proxy, and I can't find any other errors until these pop up. It is stopping at the same spot each time, during the kernel header. Following are the output from yum, debug and error level at 4, and my CentOS-Base.repo, which seems to be the most relevant repo. If there's anything else I can supply to help out, let me know. >[root@linux ~]# yum -y upgrade >> /home/tom/bad_yum >[root@linux ~]# cat /home/tom/bad_yum > Loading "protectbase" plugin > Loading "fastestmirror" plugin > Running "config" handler for "protectbase" plugin > Running "init" handler for "fastestmirror" plugin > Yum Version: 2.4.3 > COMMAND: yum > Installroot: / > Setting up Upgrade Process > Setting up repositories > Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/'] > Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/', 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://archive.cs.uu.nl/mirror/dag.wieers/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://ftp2.lcpe.uni-sofia.bg/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag', 'http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag'] > Baseurl(s) for repo: ['http://updates.interworx.info/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://mirrors.tiatera.com/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'ftp://mirror.myriadnetwork.com/pub/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://centos.mirrors.redwire.net/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'ftp://mirror.atlantic.net/pub/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://mirrors.jtlnet.com/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://mirrors.easynews.com//linux/centos/4.4/os/i386/', 'http://dds.gina.alaska.edu/public/mirrors/centos/4.4/os/i386/'] > Running "postreposetup" handler for "fastestmirror" plugin > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > Reading repository metadata in from local files > Setting up Package Sacks > Excluding Incompatible Archs > Finished > Running "exclude" handler for "protectbase" plugin > 87 packages excluded due to repository protections > Reading Local RPMDB > Building updates object > Resolving Dependencies > 1157503446.99 > --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 doesn´t boot
by Christian Hügel 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, after upgrading with yum upgrade my server doesn´t boot with kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 d. Kernel CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-34.EL) works just fine. I use 2 HDD as RAID1. Unfortunaly this is a root server so i do not have any console output. This is rather disappointing cause i run mission critical applications on the server. I guess the updates should be used with more caution. Regards, Christian
