SELinux Problems (Was: [CentOS] Forum Decorum: a reminder seems appropriate.)

So, here is a interesting one for you :) In one of my CentOS machines (originally installed with 4.0, not 4.3), several of my files lost their selinux context information. Several others are with wrong values. Is there a way to restore the original selinux context on these files ? Maybe using RPM (even tho I don't think the value is stored on the RPM database, I'm not sure). Of course, reinstalling the machine is always an option, but since it is located on a datacenter (on another country), that might be a bit of a PITA.

Has anybody recompiled Centos' default kernel on x86_64
by Bogdan Nicolescu 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

I haven't been able to recompile Centos' default kernel on 4.2, nor on 4.3 on an x86_64 The process fails with two different problems: 1. 'cannot find -lqt' error 2. offset.h.tmp missing Kind of weird not being able to recompile an integral part of the system on a system which is entirely based on recompilation. Based on second hand reports vanila kernel seems to compile o.k., but I don't want to go vanila if I don't have to.

(OT) i586 kernel
by Robert 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

What incantations are used to build vmlzi586 and initi586.img found in the isolinux directory of the CentOS 4.3 DVD? I have an old K6-2 box that runs CentOS 4.3 fine but because of a few features, I'd really prefer to run FC5 on that machine and it won't install -- which is the reason for the (OT) in the subject. I found this blurb in the specs file: ---------------- %define KVERREL %{PACKAGE_VERSION}-%{PACKAGE_RELEASE} # groups of related archs # Added i586 kernel support (CentOS-4) #%define all_x86 i686 %define all_x86 i586 i686 # Override generic defaults with per-arch defaults ------------------ but somehow, that seems like too much magic in a too-small package. There must be a lot more to it!

Hi, I wonder how does Centos4/RHEL4 manage iproute2's /etc/iproute2/rt_tables file? Does it has any scripts? It is used in ifup o initscripts? Many Thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

Metamail
by Fajar Priyanto 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hi all, I'm setting up Hylafax with Centos4.2. Seems like it requires a package called metamail. I visited rpmfind.net but confused which package should I choose. There are one for RH4.2, RHEL AS 2.1. Curiously, there's none for FC.

OT: New article: Let's block cracker using denyhosts
by Fajar Priyanto 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Dear all, I have written an article how to block cracker using denyhosts. This is the excerpts: Internet is a cruel world. Server owner that is always connected to the internet knows this. Crackers are always trying to hack into our server day and night, 24 hours, 365 days non-stop. How do we secure our server? There are many ways to do it, one of them is using denyhosts. With it, we can block those crackers after certain amount of failed login attempts. The article can be found at: http://linux2.arinet.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Item… Knowledge belongs to everyone, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 21:26:21 up 12:02, 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
