Sounds like you have your solution... Install sudo and configure it so
that particular users can use sudo to temporarily gain root
privileges.  You may even be able to copy your /etc/sudoers from
Ubuntu directly to CentOS.

Umm... It doesn't appear to be a CentOS issue ..
Have you tried re-synching the keyboard to the receiver?  Also, low

sudo is different from su.
su is definitely in the base installation, though sudo may need to be
specifically installed.

You can use su without installing any extra packages, but you'll be
given the user the root password to use su.

To use sudo you won't need the root password.

I remember some 6502-based systems that used bank switching to access

Re: [CentOS] mounting gfs partition hangs; Solution

[CentOS] Define HTTP proxy system-wide (Squid and Squidguard) ?

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

I'm currently configuring Squid and Squidguard for filtering web access 
in a public computer room. So far, everything works fine.

I know how to configure Firefox to use a proxy, but there's no way to 
protect that configuration, e. g. a more knowledgeable user might 
circumvent this configuration. Is there some way to configure an HTTP 
proxy system-wide?

Cheers from the sunny South of France,

Niki

My email client wrapped the rightmost field of some of the output above,
but it's still discernible that epel wants to update to a newer version
of gmime, but (as you said) has no corresponding version of gmime-sharp.
 Conceivably, this could be the problem.  The versions I have of gmime
and gmime-sharp seem to be from a different repo:

# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/

and so this might be a contributing issue.  So I deleted these two
packages (rpm -e ...) and then did "yum install" on them... which took
them from the "extras" repo, which seems to have gotten them from
sourceforge:

# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/

(So this wouldn't seem to be a case of conflicting repos.)

Now, doing "yum update" again brought me back to the original problem.
:(  But at least we have more clarity to it: the extras repo doesn't
have a version update to gmime-sharp, a dependency for the update of
gmime.

So.. what's the next thing to do?  Just wait for an upgrade for
gmime-sharp?  Why does the extras repo not have it if it's a dependency?
 Perhaps it's still coming (?).  Or... has anyone else (somehow) been
able to upgrade to gmime v. 2.2.25-1.el5 ??  (How?)


Thanks, people.  I appreciate your efforts.

Kal, thanks for the tip on duplicates.  It's not the source of the

gmime-2.2.10-5.el5.centos

The BBC Microcomputer (2Mhz 6502) from the early 80s came with
32Kb RAM, 32Kb ROM (16Kb OS ROM, 16Kb paged ROM, for language etc).
RAM 0->0x7fff, Paged ROM (aka "Sideways ROM - SWR") 0x8000->0xbfff,
OS ROM 0xc000->0x.

The language ROM idea was quite clever; it came with BASIC but you
could install 3 other ROMS (or with an expansion board, 15 other ROMS)
in there and so could have Pascal or a wordprocessor or an interactive
assember/debugger or...

So then some clever person thought "what if I put RAM in there".
The first use was to be able to load ROM images into it, so effectively
letting you change the language ROMs you wanted to use.  But with some
bank switching it was possible to create a RAMdisk (the BBC was well
designed for this sort of expansion).  128Kbyte RAMdisks used 8 of the
SWR banks, typically on a expansion daughter board.  Since floppy disks
at the time ran from 100Kbyte (40track single sided single density)
to 720Kbyte (80track double sided double density), a 128Kbyte RAMdisk
was nothing to be sneezed at.

Next step was "shadow memory".  The BBCs designed shared the program
memory with the screen memory.  The highest resolution was 20Kb in size
(which ran from top of RAM down).  Add in OS overheads (3.75Kb) and you
didn't have much space for programming!  So another form of paging was
used to help here; the OS write-character routines were intercepted and
banks were switched so the pixels were drawn and then the banks switched
back.  From a well-written programs perspective this was transparent.  A
little slow, but it worked :-)

That was a fun machine to use!

On the router level, you could block all the traffic and allow only the
threads initiated by proxy. Thus you make sure that no 'clever' user can
generate outbound traffic.

The newer version of gmime is coming from the epel repo, which doesn't

The URL file generally just describes where the original source comes
from, not what repo is being used.  A better indicator of repo would
be the Vendor, Packager, or Build Host fields.

That is interesting.  Did your yum install command specify to install
gmime-sharp?

I'm quite sure this is a classic case of conflicting repos.

And epel doesn't have the updated gmime-sharp to go with the updated
gmime and gmime-devel.

Either exclude gmime from the epel repo or ask epel to package gmime-sharp.

>  Why does the extras repo not have it if it's a dependency?

Because the new version is not coming from the extras repo.

scsi_dev_flags SCSI black/white list.
scsi_dev_flags=vendor:model:flags
This option lets the user add entries to the SCSI black/white list for
a specific vendor and model of device.

Dug it up from my notes. This goes on the kernel boot line.

For what I understand it help on enabling/disabling a whole device; I only need

I don't understand your question or exactly what you are trying to do, but I 
suspect your problem has to do with the situation you described in other 
postings where you have random addresses bridged on the same network. 
Addressing is supposed to work like this: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork
and if the destination address isn't in the same subnet as the source it will 
be 
sent to the default gateway router unless you have configured a more specific 
route for it.

[CentOS] selinux on xen virtual machines

[lhecking]

 I rebuilt my xen host with the 64-bit OS and am in the process of recreating
 the guests, both 32 and 64 bit. I use a kickstart installation with
 virt-install, and so far none of the installation attempts has completed.

 Anaconda indicates installation should take about 2-3 minutes, but when it
 comes to installation of selinux policies, it just sits there, and I have
 no idea what it's doing. No progress 15 minutes later, and it doesn't make
 a difference whether I disable or not selinux in the kickstart configuration.
 What's the best thing to do in this situation?

 CentOS 5.4 with all current updates.

I can be sure it has been a few years ago but you probly right in that
respect.

The only other idea I know of is to run the Real Time Kernel on those
Blades.  Then you need the kernel tools installed.  Pin down the
specific intterupt that the LUN resides on and blacklist it for that
specific scsi interface.  I dont that that either will get you a per lun
but they run on interrupts so they can be made to persistanly be
disabled.  cat /proc/interrupts will show it should but I must say i
have never disable a LUN through it only NIC devices and moving them
around to other CPUs.

You can use Nates idea also. It will work.  Put you a script in rc.d to
make it persistant.  I have a feeling you will need it in boot order
fashion though.

[CentOS] CUPS and virtual interfaces

[m . roth]

I've got a server with multiple virtual interfaces. Now, I only want CUPS
to advertise on *one* - eth0, not eth0:1 or eth0:gad

Looking at the CUPS manual, and cuppsd.conf man page, I see BrowseAllow,
but the entries are not clear enough for me to understand what they mean.
(Yeah, I know the docs are better than they were - read ESR's rant about
it from a few years ago.)

Specifically, I *think* I'd like to use BrowseAllow @IF, but I can't
figure out if that should be
BrowseAllow @IF(eth0)
or
BrowseAllow @IF(hostname)

Also, if it's interface name, and there are multiple virtual interfaces on
eth0, and I use the first of the two lines, above, will that *not* also
apply to the VIs on eth0?

 More detail.

 With the kickstart config I've always used, which includes "selinux 
--enforcing",
 I get

audit(1270043018.724:2): enforcing=1 old_enforcing=0 auid=4294967295 
ses=4294967295
Unable to load SELinux Policy. Machine is in enforcing mode. Halting now.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

 when the installer reboots. The same thing happens when I explicitly add
 the selinux-policy package to the kickstart config.

 When I add selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted, the installer hangs
 on installing selinux-policy-targeted.

I found the solution, if anyone is interested.
First, this is not an ibm touch monitor, it was conwerted in a local shop. I
found that later, when i did some digging. It uses an MicroTouch matrix.
Microtouch is now used by 3m so you can get the drivers from 3m touch
systems. The trick is, that this kind of devices don't work with the new
driwers that are marked as "Linux kernel 2.6". You have to use the old
drivers marked as "Linuy Kernel 2.4". Dont worry, when you read the readme
file, you see that the drivers also work on 2.6 kernels. When downloaded you
get an source rpm. To sucessfully build the rpm on CentOS 5.4 you have to
unpack the rpm and modify the sources according to the attached document
(Touchware for Linux Kernel Module Issues.txt (google for the file name, i
don't know what the policy for attaching files is on this list)). After
modifying is just a matter of rpmbuld and installing rpm.

TouchWare for Linux Kernel Module Issues
Date Originated: 3 August 2006
Created by: Damir Suljic
Date Revised:  21 May 2007
Revised by: Damir Suljic

Overview
The TouchWare for Linux Software, part of the MicroTouch™ Software Suite, uses 
a kernel module for the Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 operating system. This module 
is responsible for communicating with the touch screen controllers in a touch 
system.
This document details known issues with kernel module not jet resolved or 
incorporated into released product.  It gives basic steps to resolve the 
problems on users’ site, and describes suggested changes required on source 
RPMs.
The document first covers a build process of the kernel module and structure of 
source RPM. It explains how to customize the Source RPM and deploy it on target 
systems with new changes. The list of known issues will follow including 
problem description and details about system affected.   
Source RPM Build and Structure
TouchWare package is in form of Source RPM and main reason for this is Kernel 
module included in this package. In one Linux system the kernel module needs to 
be built and linked against current kernel version, and since Linux has vast 
number of kernel versions available we decided to allow users to build our 
package against their version. Now with every new version it is possible to hit 
a situation where kernel module will not build or will not load on target 
system.
After initial installation of source RPM into build directory (usually 
“/usr/src/”) the building binary RPM (all this is described in 
Readme file included in package) will have either failure while building or 
while installing binary RPM. In both cases you will have to investigate in more 
details what and where in process the errors were happening. In case of build 
error the command line output will give more information what file did fail to 
build. If binary RPM build successfully but after installing it kernel module 
did not load, you can check this by issuing “lsmod” in command line and look 
for TWDrv, check “/var/log/messages” file for errors related to TWDrv (“invalid 
module format”, “unresolved sysmbols”, etc).
Customization of Source RPM
To make changes on source RPM you will have to extract TWDrvSoureces.tgz file 
(usually found in “/usr/src//SOURCES” directory) in temporary 
directory “/usr/tmp/mytemp”. After extracting sources change directory to 
“/usr/src/mytemp” and you will see directories and files from our package. One 
of the directories is TwDrvKit where the kernel module files are located. Make 
needed changes on TWDriver.c file. Test build it by issuing make command, and 
insert module with “insmod TWDrv.ko”.
If the changes were acceptable, change directory to “/usr/tmp/mytemp” and issue 
“tar –czf TWDrvSources.tgz *” (it is * for all files in current directory). 
Copy newly created .tgz

Well, did that... and no joy, from another box, I can still telnet to the
server on one of the virtual IPs, port 631. I can't really play around
much, here - this is a production box, used by a lot of staff.

Understood.  Using "rpm -qi", the "Vendor" field shows just "CentOS",
the "Build Host" reads simply "builder6", and there is no "Packager"
field.  I tried using the "--queryformat" option a few different way to
output the packager, but no luck.  That would be a big help in figuring
out this kind of situation.

It appears that EPEL uses "Fedora Project".

Interesting.  I tested a Base CentOS package and it has
"builder10.centos.org".  Perhaps the extras are build using a
different method.  The gmime package from epel has
"x86-07.phx2.fedoraproject.org".

It must be an optional field:
$ rpm -qi cacti | grep Packager
Packager: Dag Wieers

OK.  That makes sense.  Yum will make the transaction consistent by
using the older versions to meet the dependency since no version was
installed.

[CentOS] Release 6?

[MHR]

Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS
team has already jumped on that, is there any word on Release 6?  IIRC
it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10),
so I have to wonder.

I didn't see anything jump out at me on the Red Hat site, so - anyone?

Thanks.

I didn't think they had, hence no CentOS6.

I have actually just been reading a thread about RHEL6 on
LinuxQuestions.org and they are saying that it is looking like a
release of RHEL6 will turn up at the end of this year as RH are
hammering through bugs that have, apparently, been in Fedora since
Fedora 7.

It's about time someone did that.  I completely gave up on Fedora after 
version 6 and unsubscribed from the mail list because they were only 
interested in changing things and adding features, not making anything 
work.  Has it become usable again?

*I* gave up on Fedora Core after FC2: I installed it on a dual Pentium
Pro 200 box with a pair of 2940 SCSI controllers and after everything
installed properly, discovered two problems: the middle button on the
serial mouse did not work and cdrecord --scan told me that the only
thing on either SCSI controller was the SCSI scanner, despite the fact
that the system (boot) disk was one one. I promptly install WBL 3.0, and
never looked back.  *ALL* of *MY* machines run CentOS: server, desktop,
and laptop.

I use F12 on my laptop. I have to say it runs very well (definite
improvement from F10 and previous). I also use it for my netbook (with a
few tweaks) and everything is fine.. No fires or explosions to report
of :)


And to add something useless to the thread.. as far as I've heard, RHEL6
is going to be a while. The only things I have heard is that it will be
based on F11/F12 (I think).

I'll chime in. Fedora 12 seems well behaved running as a (64-bit) VM 
running on a CentOS 5 host.

We use F12 headless, so I can't comment on desktop issues, but I 
really like the deltarpm stuff. It really cuts down on bandwidth 
requirements on a frequently updated distro like Fedora.

A lot of the work after Fedora 6 seemed to revolve around making 
single-user desktop type access more convenient at the expense of more 
general purpose server concepts - and making it boot quickly which isn't 
a big priority on boxes that run all the time.  And some things even 
when not technically broken were annoying, like if a user logs in at the 
console keyboard it would kill the audio output being controlled by a 
remote user.

Yeah.. and with a fast internet connection it takes LONGER to build up
the new rpms from the deltarpms compared to just downloading the new rpms

It doesn't sound very cache-friendly either...  The Centos mirrorlists 
aren't either, but I quit caring when the mirrors got fast enough that 
it didn't matter that you end up pulling a copy of every rpm from every 
mirror in the list.

Well all valid, I always laugh when I see posts in Fedora list about people
setting up Fedora as servers at work.

I can't imagine such a practice. I use at home only on my desktop for the 
bleeding
edge support, but given the public approach to its model, its happened before 
that
people have pushed bad updates that broke things badly. Just one of many 
reasons...

Up through F6, I liked having one or a few copies of fedora to test 
things, knowing that they'd be similar to the next release of 
RHEL/Centos and put up with the fast updates and breakage.  But then the 
philosophy seemed to change in terms of wanting to break backwards 
compatibility on purpose to deliver improvements.  Maybe, years later, 
it will finally happen.  Or maybe the unix design was right in the first 
place. It will be interesting to see how the enterprise flavor shakes out.

indeed.There were exceptions, but yes, this involved 'additional

Altos Computers and others made Z80 systems which had 4 or more banks of 
64K memory minus a small chunk of shared memory, these ran the multiuser 
CP/M known as MP/M-80... IIRC, this was circa 1979 or 1980.

I vaguely recollect that RH mentioned pushing out the (total) life
cycles of a release from 5 to 7 years, or 7 to 10 or something like
that.


Their lifecycle info is here:

But there's no mention of any changes on there...

[CentOS] C5 XEN domain not startable

[Dave Stevens]

Hi,

I have a Centos 5 box with dom0 and several domUs and one of them is  
not runnable. I ran updates several days ago and the update included a  
kernel update so I used virt-manager to reboot. But it won't book. It  
shows as not running and when I try to run it I get a dialog box with  
this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 498, in  
run_domain
 vm.startup()
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 573, in startup
 self.vm.create()
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 287, in create
 if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: Unknown failure

I don't know what to do about this. Anyone have ideas?

Dave

What does "xm list" say? 

If it's stuck/crashed, use "xm destroy" to kill it.

Current RHEL life cycle is in fact 7 years.
Interesting, I remember hearing just the opposite - that they're about 
to reduce the life cycle from 7 to 5 years, since allegedly no one uses 
the same EL major release for more than 5 years. I mean, can you imagine 
anyone who used RHEL 2.1 up until less than a year ago?

Anyway, it's nice to see so many people have dumped Fedora for pretty 
much the same reason as I have, more than a year ago in favour of 
CentOS. And this was after almost two years of discontent with Fedora.

Guess it depends on what your definition of usable is.  
It has been working for me since the first version of Fedora was
released.  Can't say it's 100% problem free but then nothing is.

YMMV, of course.

Actually, I still have an RHEL 2.1 system in production. My excuse is that 
it is an Itanium I box (an HP I2000), and this is the latest version that 
will run on it. And it's working fine (but it is really slow). The bloody

But it's still nice to hear RHEL 2.1 is a resilient bastard - I guess

If the accident accidentally involves a circular saw, a YouTube link

We have some RHEL2 systems still in production.

Fedora works fine for my play laptop. I have it setup so that critical
data is backed up to my fileserver so even if I lose the drive
rebuilding just takes 20 minutes or so and I'm back where I left off.
 I don't use it on any infrastructure stuff at my house, but it's
definitely easier to get things like networking, eye candy demo window
managers, graphics software, etc.. going under Fedora.

When something works right there's not much need to change it.  I still 
have an RH 7.3 box running that's had a couple of 4-year uptime spans 
(had to move it once).  And several Centos 3.x's.

I hope there's very little internet exposure on that box; even ssh has had
remote exploits since then!

Well, I love to make people laugh so I'll chime in here.

I do use Fedora for some hosting, and I'm very happy with it for that
purpose.  The reason I like it better is that the packages are more
up-to-date.  Not bleeding edge, but more current.  I'd rather let
Fedora manage my mediaWiki installation rather than deal with the
updates myself.

The trick is that you have to accept that you'll be reinstalling it in
a year.  With puppet and a little discipline, that's not a big deal.
Spin up a new VM, get things running, and switch over DNS.

we are prolly going to have a public timeline and status tracking up in 
the next few days, so if anyone is looking to see what is going on that 
might be a good source as well.

Yes, I am sorry. This is just for the editors I sent it to the wrong 
list. That happens when you send mails at 4 in the morning. I am really 
sorry. The official release will be tomorrow (I hope).

If you want to become a proofreader of the Newsletter tough, feel free 
to mail me and I can put you on the list.

Cheers Didi

[CentOS] Sending mail from CLI to another SMTP host

[Fajar Priyanto]

Hi all,
Is it possible to send mail from CLI (bash, python) without any LOCAL
SMTP installed, using SMTP on another machine.
Care to give a glimpse of the code?
Thank you.

One approach

step 1: make sure packages 'expect' and 'telnet' are installed
step 2: read: man autoexpect  and RFC 2821
... see worked example for handing email to a remote server
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/sendmail-tip/
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/trace-sendmail/
step 3: experiment to taste in talking the protocol.  'expect'
and autoexpect makes it trivial to build a script that
works

[CentOS] Unable to get software using Yum

[Jatin Davey]

Hi

I am new to CentOS and been into Linux for about 3 months now. I first 
started off with fedora and also trying my hands on CentOS now. 
Basically i used yum to download softwares on the fedora box. I mainly 
require the snmp agent for my linux boxes so as to test my network 
management product. On some of the CentOS boxes the following command 
worked for me :

yum install net-snmp

it installed the snmp agent for me but on others i am finding it hard to 
install. Basically , this is what i get :

[r...@centos-64-xxx ~]# yum install net-snmp

[r...@centos-64- yum.repos.d]#

  Can some one please help me in this regard.

Thanks

But of course, just cause the smtp server you are pointed at initially
is local, interpret that as 127.0.0.1. So point to another. Most home
users don't have their own smtp server, they use their isp's...

http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html

"Supports SMTP to send messages directly to a remote server. A local
 sendmail interface setup is thus not necessary."

odd that its using /5.3/ in the path, it should be just /5/

try

yum clean

then try again.
