Sorry for my brief input but the intention was exactly what you extracted 
from the URI above and its valid only for the upstream. CentOS will stay 
always on the latest release as you also stated. 

 IMHO they are rare cases where some one are technically forced to stay 
on older releases. I do not argue that they didn't exist. We should not 
forget the context; stable ABI, API and mayor releases of the provided 
components, and not like e.g. Fedora with there "bleeding edge" approach 
(valid for there scenarios).   

It would be great to get some feedback what such cases 
are, that let people stay on older releases?

[CentOS] High Performance graphics virtual environment: VGA Passthough or a VDI solution

[Aaron Siegel]

Hello

Early this summer I made the decision to eliminate my Windows dual boot,
I rarely used windows.  I have started a new job which will require
using a 3d CAD Inventor/Solidworks (Windows software). Inventor starts
in vmware workstation.  I also switched from OpenSuSE to CentOS after
evaluating Ubuntu, RHEL, SLED, and Centos, I wanted a more proven
platform, less experimental stuff. 

For the last several years I have been wanting to build a multi-seat
computer.  I did configure a mulit-seat using xorg, it work ok but there
were issue with the keyboard and the kernel reported many error. I used
the dual seat system for play internet content to a tv but I do not
think this solution would work well for multiple desktops.  

VGA Pass-through
Redhat blog claims the beta release supports vga pass-through:
http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2014/01/29/kvm-virtualization/

Is this true? I hope to find a cheaper video card then the professional
NVIDA. Can VGA pass-through be accomplished using the application
provide by CentOS 7? Or do I need to apply all the patches and recompile
as suggested in the article below?

http://www.firewing1.com/howtos/fedora-20/create-gaming-virtual-machine-using-vfio-pci-passthrough-kvm


VDI

This solution provides each terminal with it own dedicated devices. Many
of the problems with the muli-seat configuration I used in the past was
related to sharing usb device on multiple terminals.  The thin client
resolves all of those problems. I think VDI solution easier for my wife
and daughter to use than the VGA pass through. Thin client will located
the terminal in a different rooms.

Now the fun part Xen or oVirt KVM.  I preference for KVM the kernel
module seem to work better. I have had problem with Xen. 

Does anyone have suggestion for a small home deployment. This is not
practical but I have this supper fast computer I like to use and I want
to postpone purchasing a Apple laptop for as long as possible. The
skills developed in this project can be indirectly applied at work.

Thank you
Aaron

Upstream can change the kernel module API quite violently in minor
releases, which means that hardware products that have associated
kernel modules often are a release behind.

Certification is another source of lag. It can take a while to certify
that the test suite for a complicated product (like a commercial
database) runs successfully on a new minor release. Some vendors skip
half the minor releases (or more) to reduce cost.

A third source is companies with homegrown code deployed on CentOS
servers and poor-quality test suites. They tend to be in the "omg
never change anything unless forced at gunpoint!" camp. It's an
unfortunate situation, and it can cost a lot of money and time to fix.

Not sure that this goes in the FAQ, though!

[CentOS] Apache wakes-up inactive Exim

[Always Learning]

Had a surprising event on C 6.5.

Exim was the only MTA installed. It was partially configured (with ACL,
Router, Transport) and definitely not running.

I was remotely testing a web page. A web page error condition invoked
the embedded PHP mail() command.

To my astonishment something in Centos woke-up Exim. Exim sent the email
and then became inactive again. The Exim logs does not show any start-up
lines, just 

1. input from Apache.
2. output to remote server.
3. 'completed'.

Hours later Logwatch, not yet customised, also caused inactive Exim to
send an email (which got rejected by Exim because it was to local user
0).

What causes Centos to temporarily activate in-active (meaning
non-running) Exim ?

Thanks,

Paul.

You don't really need an active smtp daemon to send email or deliver it 
locally.

No. If people have a good reason for doing it, they will generally know that 
reason. If the don't know one, they probably have no real need for staying at

The daemon only handles incoming mail, or in other words waits for incoming
connections from other mail servers. Outgoing mail is sent on demand, or in
other words a connection is made to a mail server or relay as and when
required.

Or even with decent test suites you recognize that you can't perfectly
emulate a live internet-connected production environment.  Or you've
been burned by updates that did break things and the time it took to
find a workaround.  There's just no getting around complicated systems

Applications often send mail by piping to the command 'sendmail' which
is enough of a standard that other MTAs normally offer a compatible
command.  With 'real' sendmail you can configure it to either deliver
in the current process or to queue for subsequent delivery by the
daemon. Not sure how the others handle it, but yours apparently
completes the delivery.

It was Exim because the email headers said very clearly it was Exim.

Hi,

I also use XFCE4 :-).

My solution was to install xscreensaver and configure/install that.

You can find it in nux's repo :-).

Make sure you start the daemon by running "xscreensaver" in terminal.

use the command "xscreensaver-command -prefs" to configure your options.

Once everything is running it should work!

Good luck :-)

Sendmail is not present on the server. Exim is the only MTA. Exim awoke,
forwarded the email then became inactive (not running) again.

I was curious how a non-running Exim can be run, solely to forward mail,
then returned to its inactive state. I assume some system software
identified the PHP outgoing email, and launched the only MTA installed
(Exim) just to handle the outgoing email.

He didn't say sendmail the package was present; he said sendmail the
command.

rpm -qvl exim | grep sendmail

Those targets are used by the alternatives system and provide backwards
compatibility with the _industry standard_ of /usr/sbin/sendmail and
/usr/lib/sendmail, which are expected interfaces.

exim sends mail by default; nothing needs to be running to do so.

cliffp@ubuntu:~$ which sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
cliffp@ubuntu:~$ file `which sendmail`
/usr/sbin/sendmail: symbolic link to `exim4'

Looks like the bash exploit tune may still be playing

[CentOS] Layer 2 VPN with OpenSSH on CentOS7 not working!

[Anthony K]

Hi all.

I'm trying to bring an Amazon VM into the LAN by following this guide 
[0].  However, it appears that OpenSSH on either RHEL7 or CentOS7 is 
broken as it is not creating tap interface but tun interface.  I've 
tried this on both CentOS5 and CentOS6 and they both work as 
advertised!  Downgrading the OS is not an option!



CentOS5/6 gives me:
**
tap1:  mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 500
 link/ether 9e:9e:44:9e:49:4c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

CentOS7 gives me:

tun1:  mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode 
DEFAULT qlen 500

link/none


So, what's broken in 7 - or is it that it requires something different?


Cheers,
ak.

I've just finished installing a CentOS7 virtual machine and guess what - 
as long as both ends are CentOS7, the tap interface is created as expected!


Looks like an incompatibility issue between OpenSSH versions!

Well 7169 is already patched, 7186 isn't in the RH database so it would
appear they don't consider that an issue and 7187 is not vulnerable in RHEL.

Scratch that... I fail at the copy paste challenge...

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-7186

Looks like we may find one more bash patch at least yet then.

per https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1306.htm  the fix for 7187 
and 7186 is already included in the updated fix that was released a 
couple days ago, bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2 etc.
