Semi-OT: awk
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

This is odd, and annoying. CentOS 6, current. Here's my awk script: { room = substr($0, 48, 10); arr[$2,room,$1] = $0; } END { for ( i in arr ) { for ( j in arr[i] ) { for ( k in arr[i][j] ) { print arr[i][j][k]; } } } } And when I run it, it complains awk -f awksort proplist7 awk: awksort:7: for ( j in arr[i] ) { awk: awksort:7: ^ syntax error awk: awksort:8: for ( k in arr[i,j] ) { awk: awksort:8: ^ syntax error awk: awksort:9: print arr[i][j][k]; awk: awksort:9: ^ syntax error which makes no sense - I've done this a million times. Am I missing something, or is this a bug? mark

C5: The Firefox ESR 45.1.0 Nighmare
by Always Learning 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Centos replaced well-running customise Firefox with version ESR 45.1.0 * All the add-ons (language dictionaries, Adblock Plus, Classic Theme Restorer etc.) were disabled with no simple method of reactivating them. Reason given was they were "unsigned". * About:config xpinstall.signatures.required = false partially reduced the problem. * Then possible to reactivate some disabled add-ons, but others down-loaded OK but would not install * removing files in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../extensions.* and restarting was supposed to help However the time-wasting problem remains, so too do the down-loaded extensions in /tmp, example tmp-xxx.xpi Would be really nice if Centos warned its loyal and grateful users of possible problems before those users trustingly replaced working programmes with considerable time-wasting problems. Time spent on trying to return Firefox to a useful and dependable working tool is unavailable for other tasks :-( -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. England's place is in the European Union.

If you like your dentist, *call* them, today. <http://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/04/dental-assn-mails-malware-to-members/>, and the URL says it all - they mailed a card with a USB key... and some of them have malware, and Krebs says not all virus scanners can detect it.... mark "got off the phone with my dentists' office a few minutes ago

Firefox 46.0 fails on CentOS 6.7 due to GTK3 requirement
by Phelps, Matthew 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

The latest version of firefox, 46.0 requires GTK3 and so it fails on CentOS 6.7. I know there is the ESR release supplied by upstream, but that is based on version 38. We have regularly installed the Mozilla "Linux" version of Firefox in a central location for our users, and this has worked just fine until 46.0. (I note from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/ that even that ESR release is due to stop being supported soon). I filed a bugzilla report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1267815. If this matters to you, please consider tagging onto that bug. Yes, yes we have to upgrade to CentOS 7. But in our shop, the amount of work required to get this done is huge, and won't happen soon. The whole idea of using RHEL/CentOS is to have a stable, supported version for a long period of time. How can we do this if even a web browser won't work? -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps(a)cfa.harvard.edu, http://www.cfa.harvard.edu

Where can I find the CentOS gpg keys?
by Albin Otterhäll 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi! I'm currently using a non-CentOS system, and wondering where I can find the GPG keys so I can verify the checksum file? The page on the website (https://www.centos.org/keys/) only give information where I can find them on an already installed system. Regards, Albin

useradd -r doesn't work right in some contexts
by Florin Andrei 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

"useradd -r testuser" run as root from an interactive ssh session does the right thing: it creates a user account with a UID in the system users range (< 400). Running the same command as a cron job (just for testing), also does the right thing. Now I'm trying to accomplish the same result via chef-client. I'm trying to run "useradd -r" as a simple command, as a bash command, or as a script, from chef-client. It does create the user account, but the UID is in the normal range (> 600), not the system range. It can't be a Chef bug, because it is actually running "/usr/sbin/useradd -r username", I'm not using the Chef user resource (although I've tried that with "system true" and it also fails to put the UID in the correct range). There's something about the context where chef-client is running that triggers different results. BTW, chef-client is running as a service via /etc/init.d/chef-client Adding SYS_UID_MAX to /etc/login.defs doesn't help. Any clue what's going on? Why useradd has different behaviors depending on how it's launched? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Since it was discussed earlier, I thought some might find this link interesting : http://secspider.verisignlabs.com/stats.html It is a spider that crawls DNS servers counting both DNSSEC and TLSA records.

Re: [CentOS] Any CentOS 6 Issues on Lenovo Y700?
by Brian Bernard 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Oh, I wouldn't flame you. Hmm, I didn't think of using a virtual machine. The Lenovo has a NVidia 960MX, so I wonder if it would fully work under a virtual machine. The reason why I ask is that I do systems adminstration with meteorological software that requires OpenGL 2.0 and at least 2GB of video ram. Thank you for your reply, Mike.
