That is a > very risky situation to get into. In terms of a proper security assessment; this is a debate that we have within the OpenVAS developer community and I am actually on your side with this. I won't bother the Centos list with more details than that unless anyone specifically wants me to go into greater details except to say that this is not technical limitation, just a policy of the authors who are writing the testing scripts. However, in terms of simply looking to see what known patches are missing, the current method of assessment is sufficient and complete. The question assumes that patches already exist and therefore they can be queried for in the RPM database to see if they exist (with the needed info encoded in the release strings). If we are talking about missing patches that do NOT exist, IOW, looking for vulnerabilities that the Centos devs or upstream have not addressed yet... then other tools may be more appropriate. -geoff - Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Right, that's the uid and gid of whoever tar'd the files up, which clearly seems to be the same, and since you don't have a user with that uid and gid, it just uses the numerical value that it came with. > > On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 8:44 AM, Brian Mathis > wrote: > >> On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 8:43 AM, Tom Bishop wrote: >> > Hoping someone can help me fix something that I apparently messed up, >> i >> have >> > the issue that when I untar a file as root the uid and gid that get >> set >> are >> > not roots'.

Untarring *which* files? The standard behavior of tar is to keep the permissions etc. of the original. So, if they were owned by user x when tarring they will get untarred for user x.

[CentOS] Moving the system from 5.3 to 5.4
Hello, I built a system based on centos 5.3, now i'm planing to move to 5.4. To do it I rebuilt all rpms making some changes. When I use a common centos 5.3, it automatically detects that 5.4 is available and move update for it when i run yum update. How does this work? How the system detects new version and update for it? I thought centos-release rpm just update repo for it, but I saw this is not the case. Could someone gimme some light?

The "5.3" and "5.4" versions are a just collection of updates.

[CentOS] Bind data directory borked on update from 5.3 to 5.4
I updated my secondary DNS server from 5.3 to 5.4 today. After the update, named would not start. A bit of investigation found that all of the files in /var/named/chroot/var/named/data had been turned into links to themselves! Fortunately, since this is a secondary DNS, all I had to do was delete the files, replace the root hints file and let everything else copy back over from the master. If this had been the master, I would have had to restore from backups. Has anyone else seen this problem? -- Bowie ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Bowie Bailey wrote on Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:51:40 -0500: > Has anyone else seen this problem? No. I usually see some change in the permissions (/var/named/chroot/var/named/ loses group write and named logs some complaints but still works) when updating named. I think I've seen this happen several times and with the last update as well. I've not taken this serious as it didn't stop named from working. I assume the write permissions are only necessary for client DNS updates which I do not use. I remember there was a more serious problem a year or so ago, when an update stopped named from working because it overwrote some files. So, the upgrading experience has been less smooth with named than with other packages, but I haven't seen what you experienced.

Each package has its own version number that is totally separate from the "OS" version. All of the package version information is stored in the RPM database, and the "yum" tool looks at this database and compares package versions to those on the centos.org servers. If it finds packages that need updating, yum lists them as having an update available. An OS version is a snapshot of package versions that someone (redhat) has decided to stick a version number onto. So centos 5.3 is just as list of packages at a certain version. However, as soon as it is released, any package might have an update to it. OS versions tend to have updates that make some bigger changes to the system, as opposed to typical updates that are mainly security fixes. The centos servers manage the OS versions by making a link from 5 -> 5.4, for example. The files in /etc/yum.repos.d define how yum finds the servers and updates. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
