Building rpms
by Bowie Bailey 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I have been asked to update OpenLDAP to the latest stable version. I am using CentOS 4.2 and have OpenLDAP 2.2.13 installed. I can install from source if I have to, but I would rather stay with rpm packages if possible. I found an rpm from Fedora Core Development on RPMFIND. Will this one work with Centos, or should I grab the source rpm and rebuild it? Bowie

RE: [CentOS] why was LILO removed from centOS 4.2?
by Nielsen, Steve 30 Nov '05

I meant not a visible choice by default :). Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of making it visible in that way. So at the prompt you type: "boot: lilo" ?

Its just not available as a choice in the install. yes it is available as an install option, you just need to ask anaconda for it ( boot the installer with 'lilo' as an option ) - K _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

php 5.1.1

I notice php 5.1.1 was released a few days ago. Are there any plans to include this new version in the centosplus repo for CentOS 4.2? Bob Pierce Systems Analyst Westman Communications Group pierceb(a)westmancom.com

Is lsdev AWOL?
by Jerry W. Hubbard 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I was looking at my newly installed CentOS 4.2 system with ls* commands yesterday and lsdev was not on the system. Did I miss installing a package? A Google search for CentOS 4.2 and lsdev was unhelpful. -- Jerry Hubbard hubbardjw(a)charter.net

kernel panic this morning
by Jerry Geis 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

When I came into work this morning the console had the following: bio_endio __end_that_request_first scsi_end_request scsi_io_completion scsi_finish_command scsi_softirq __do_softirq do_softirg do_irq command_interrupt default_idle cpu_idle start_kernel Panic I am running software RAID-1 on this machine. I had 2 IDE disks and the machine when down once in a while with similiar messages. I switched to brand new 300 GIG SATA drives and now I am seeing the same kernel panic. What might be the problem here? THanks for any suggestions. Machine has 2 GIG RAM, Intel motherboard, Intel CPU 2.4 P4, "/" is 50 GIG, I have a 5 GIG Swap, and the rest is "/home". where / and /home are RAID-1 arrays. Jerry

SELinux niggle
by Rob 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi, I am not very experienced with SELinux and I have a problem which I can't track down. Any help would be really appreciated. I have an 'install everything' Centos 4.2 system which I am using as a workstation. Before anyone tells me off for installing everything, I have done this in order to get used to CentOS before using it on live servers. Anyway when I log into X (gnome, gdm) I start getting the following in /var/log/messages Nov 30 12:47:39 needme dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=2916 uid=81 loginuid=-1 message=avc: denied { send_msg } for scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t tclass=dbus Nov 30 12:48:10 needme last message repeated 7 times Nov 30 12:48:12 needme gconfd (MYUSERNAME-3780): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/MYUSERNAME/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 0 Nov 30 12:48:15 needme dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=2916 uid=81 loginuid=-1 message=avc: denied { send_msg } for scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t tclass=dbus And it just keeps filling up my log file. I read James B. Byrne's post on the 15th about audit2allow but I don't believe that I should go fiddling with dbus. Wouldn't that just be shooting the messenger? I know that I wouldn't get these messages on a server because I wouldn't be running X, but I would like to understand what is going on and increase my confidence to admin SELinux properly. Thanks in advance Rob Watkin
