[CentOS] PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so)

2011-10-14 Thread Alexander Farber
Hello

the logwatch from my CentOS 6 / 64 bit machine (minimal install,
with permissive SELinux) keeps reporting me:

 **Unmatched Entries**
   PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: 9 Time(s)
   PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so):
/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory: 9 Time(s)

I've found this bug report -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656434

But I'm not sure what's the best workaround for me -
if I'm just running an Apache (Drupal) + PostgreSQL website?
Should I install fprintd-pam (got that from "yum whatprovides")

Thank you
Alex

Re: [CentOS] [HW] Do the HDD cages in rack mount chassis indicate visual/audio HDD failure?

Don't rely on the LED going on. I mark all my hot swap disks with
labels with their serial number. This label is visible from the
outside without removing the HD.
That way, I can double check that I remove the faulty disk.
Pulling the wrong disk is the last thing you want to risk in a RAID
setup. Relying on a fault LED is close to that.
Also make a list of the HD serial numbers and their position within
the RAID in time. Store that in a safe place.

I pulled ONCE the wrong disk out of a Raid5 array. :-(
You know what that means?

best regards

What kind of guests are you installing?  If CentOS, and you can get the console 
at all, use the vnc installation method and bring up the VNC GUI on a 
workstation.  Also see the virt-install man page and the --vnc command-line 
option.

The upstream Beta 6.2 docs may have some information that might help you, 
assuming it doesn't require beta 6.2 packages to do it
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/index.html
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/index.html

Also:

Hope that helps.

[CentOS] SELinux triggered during Libvirt snapshots

2011-10-14 Thread Trey Dockendorf
I recently began getting periodic emails from SEalert that SELinux is
preventing /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm "getattr" access from the directory I store
all my virtual machines for KVM.

All VMs are stored under /vmstore , which is it's own mount point,   and
every file and folder under /vmstore currently has the correct context that
was set by doing the following:

semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t "/vmstore(/.*)?"
restorecon -R /vmstore

So far I've noticed then when taking snapshots and also when using virsh to
make changes to a domain's XML file.  I haven't had any problems for the 3
or 4 months I've run this KVM server using SELinux on Enforcing, and so I'm
not really sure what information is helpful to debug this.  The server is
CentOS 6 x86_64 updated to CR.  This is the raw audit entry, (hostname
removed)

subj=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c772,c779 key=(null)

I've attached the alert email as a quote below, (hostname removed)

Any help is greatly appreciated, I've had to deal little with SELinux
fortunately, but at the moment am not really sure if my snapshots are
actually functional or if this is just some false positive.

Thanks

The upstream Beta 6.2 docs may have s..

It took a long time, but I finally think I got it working.
I found a way to bootup to a pretty minimal set up, command line
I found a very minimal desktop install setup that does not boot up.
I just startx, have a small desktop to do installs, then just close the desktop.
Perfect for local installs
(everyone who keeps talking about remote installs missed my point...I wanted to 
do local, same computer)

this still needs some testing, but it really works great with early testing.
Now I can protect my host by killing all ports coming in, including ssh, and
take care of the guests, guest installs, from the ipmi card.

what a bear that was...that dang video card issue really made it hard.

will post a vid for what I did.
