confirm if this is true and which vulnerability can be risked for ?



As the others said, the OS is "CentOS 6"...   "6.3" was simply a 
snapshot of the updates as of July 2012.  As soon as you update it with 
current fixes ('yum update') you'll be on the current point release, 
which is CentOS 6.6 at the moment.


As has been pointed out several times here, you should NOT assume you 
can just install individual fixes such as the latest openssl for the 
heartbeat fixes, and so forth, as these have only been tested running 
with ALL the latest packages, not every conceivable combination of 
component versions over the past 4 years or so.

[CentOS] Building QT on CentOS 5

2014-12-02 Thread Wade Hampton
I am building QT 4.8.6 on CentOS 5 and it is failing on building
the webkit module with __sync_add_and_fetch_4 not being defined.
My build is for Embedded Linux, which allows me to use the framebuffer.

Posts report this error when trying to cross-compile for ARM,
but I am building for X86.   Several posts also indicate that this
is due to the old GCC used by CentOS 5.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

When running yum search ds-389 on Centos7 I get only 3 packages,

389-ds-base

On Centos6.6 I get the whole list:

389-ds.noarch : 389 Directory, Administration, and Console Suite

389-dsgw.x86_64 : 389 Directory Server Gateway (dsgw)

Is this a change in policy?

I apologise if this has been answered before.
A quick google did not provide an answer.

Greetings, Johan



Half the those packages are for i686 which is not longer a supported 
architecture in 7, and many of the others are from epel


389-ds-base.x86_64   1.2.11.15-48.el6_6 rhel-x86_64-server-6
389-ds-base-devel.x86_64 1.2.11.15-48.el6_6 
rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6

389-ds-base-libs.x86_64  1.2.11.15-48.el6_6 rhel-x86_64-server-6

Is what I see on one of my RHEL6 servers.

Hello Tris,

thanks for the reply. You are right, some of the packages are i686, 
logically they are nog in Centos7.

But I have epel enabled on the Centos7 box and I am not seeing

 389-admin.x86_64 : 389 Administration Server (admin)
389-admin-console.noarch : 389 Admin Server Management Console

The setup works without 389-admin as far as I can see on a first test, 
but launching

the console is difficult without 389-admin-console.

Greetings, Johan

I found the answer here:

https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47865

Looks like the other 389-ds packages are due for Centos7.1.

Re: [CentOS] CentOs 7.0 and reboot failure

2014-12-02 Thread Don Vogt
I don't want to hi-jack this but I may have a clew for you. I am 
troubleshooting a similar problem and have found a trail. I recently installed 
centos7 on my (improperly complicated system) and sometimes it will boot and 
sometimes not. My problem is apparently caused by having three hard drives . 
From boot to boot they get mounted in different orders. The drive with my os7  
sometimes is mounted as/dev/sda and sometimes /dev/sdc. In grub.cfg on the os7 
partition there is a statement "set root=hd0, msdos3" I think that may be the 
villain but I don't know where it comes from. (The kernel lines use blockid's,) 
That statement is in centos7, but not in centos6 where I have not had the 
problem.  I intend to search a while, and maybe learn something or take out a 
couple of drives.Hopefully this helps.

[CentOS] Help with at Bash script

2014-12-02 Thread James B. Byrne
I am attempting to get a script borrowed from DJB to work on my CentOS-6.6
box.  Simplified it looks like this:

tcpdump -l -n -e port 53 \
  | awk '{if ($14 ~ /A.*?/) print $15}' \
  | while read domain ; do echo $domain ; done ;

The sticking point is the 'while read' construct.  Run just as 'tcpdum | awk'
I get this:

english.stackexchange.com.

www.urbandictionary.com.

. . .

Run with the 'while read $domain ; do echo ' pipe nothing appears whatsoever. 
What am I doing wrong?

Ned,

Thanks for your response!!!

Sorry, if posting a bug report was the wrong venue !!!

There are no messages in the message logs that I could identify as
problems, but the system fails before the OS is active.

I have not updated the BIOS, and do not know how to do this... but this
is my testing machine so I am more than open to doing this.  I am using
a Gateway SX2855-UB12P.  I will take a look at the Gateway site; if
there are tutorials you could point me to I would appreciate it.

The only hardware that has been added has been a usb ethernet connection
so that I have the motherboard nic card and the usb nic connection.  I
wanted to use this setup to test the firewalld capabilities for a
network gateway.  The machine does not have a monitor, and is without a
mouse or keyboard.  

It should be noted that this machine previously had CentOS 6 with a 3T
Seagate drive that worked without a problem, but recently developed a
disc failure.  I replaced the drive with a 4T WesternDigital drive and
installed CentOs 7.0 from a DVD.  
 
Thanks again for your help!!!

Greg

Ned,

I have printed the bios of this machine below.  I reviewed the American
Megatrends website, but have not identified whether an upgrade has been
created for this bios, or how to install it.  This machine was a
Windows7 machine originally with a 500G drive, that I removed and
replaced with the 3T Seagate drive that failed.

The "echo ${domain}" part is certainly just a simplification of a more

If not a typo in the message, your mistake, and I do it all the time, is

 I have tried some additional changes that have not made a difference.

 I disabled selinux - that made no difference
 I stopped and disabled firewalld  - that made no difference.

 I can boot this machine after I turn it off and then back on, but when I
 try to do a shutdown now -r, the system hangs right after picking the OS
 that is desired "CentOS Linux..".

 After the machine is turned off the boot process occurs normally after
 this choice and I get two penguins in the upper left hand corner, and
 the boot proceeds.  When I do a shutdown now -r, I do not get to the
 penguins and the machine hangs forever until I either unplug it or press
 the power button for 5 seconds.

 Any help would be appreciated!!!

You'd have to check the Gateway website to see if a bios update is
available to download for your model. Instructions are normally included
/ available.

Just to eliminate the easy option first, does unplugging the USB
ethernet adapter (before rebooting) solve the problem?

How is that better than

systemctl stop NetworkManager
systemctl disable NetworkManager

Again, I’m not really after a way to make this work without NetworkManager.  
We’ve already got that.  What I want is a way to tell NM to obey the MAC 
binding.  This configuration *here* goes with that MAC chip *there*.

Given that, we don’t need to disable NetworkManager.

Works for me as is.  You just have to wait for your pipe buffer to

What part of the breakage that NetworkManager does is good for a
wired, static-addressed server?But, in your scenario where both
nics are plugged in and your only problem is the non-working gateway
IP you should be able to ssh to some other box on the working network,
then over to the new ones DHCP address.  The gateway won't matter if
both ends are on the same subnet.

Why would you need a static IP to stick to a laptop?   Or have

If you disable NM, the network configuration GUI stops working in EL7.  (I 
didn’t do much with EL6, but I thought its GUI had a fall-back for the non-NM 
case.)

We don’t need this GUI, but our semi-technical customers sometimes do.  It can 
be the difference between rolling a truck to a remote site vs letting the 
on-site people take care of the problem.

> you should be able to ssh to some other box on the working network,

I did mention that these sites rarely have local staff who know Linux.  You can 
correctly infer from that there *are* no other SSH servers, just ours.

These are K-12 schools, for the most part.  They often don’t have technical 
staff on-site at all.  We have to schedule time with overworked district-level 
staff who often only know Windows to get anything at this level done.

We’ve built up nasty hacks to solve this before; VPN -> RDP -> PuTTY -> Linux 
server, for instance.  Getting protective network admins to allow all this can 
chew up weeks of time.

It’s far, far better if the Linux box just phones home with the info we need to 
fix it.  It can cut a 4-week phone tag game down to 15 minutes.

Wired and WiFi.

If you configure a static IP with the wired Ethernet plugged in, you probably 
want that static IP to continue being used when you unplug the Ethernet cable 
and NM switches you over automatically to WiFi.  NM does this.

This is why I want a checkbox in the NM GUI: “This is a 4U server, dummy, not a 
laptop.”

But can't you still set NM_CONTROLLED=no on an interface?

I'm way too familiar with the problem - but we usually have several
boxes in one place.

I've done some weird stuff like scripts that bring up all the
interfaces, look for link, apply one of the IPs that the box should
have to one of the interfaces with link up, try to ping the gateway,
lather, rinse, repeat, but I've never been happy with any of it.
Maybe a USB wifi adapter could be set up to make an openvpn connection
back to a home server if you know the location has wifi.   That could
give you a known private IP to connect to for the rest of the
configuration.

Really?  That's insane.  Our wired jacks are not on the same subnets
as our access points.   I'm not sure that's even possible with the
Cisco units that have separate controllers.

That still effectively breaks the network settings GUI.  Interfaces you mark 
that way show as “unmanaged” in the GUI, and you can’t modify any of their 
settings.  You can’t change them back to “managed” via the GUI.  You can’t even 
add an IP alias to them via the GUI.

If you’re suggesting that I do this only to the static interface and leave the 
DHCP one under NM’s control, the only improvement relative to disabling NM 
entirely is that it at least gives the semi-technical people on site the option 
of repurposing the DHCP interface as a secondary static interface.

That’s not useless, but it’s a far cry from the MAC bonding I’m after.

In such a network, you won’t run static IP configuration on such boxes.  You’ll 
use DHCP.

On my home LAN, this automatic static IP migration is *exactly* what I want on 
my laptop.

The current NetworkManager design isn’t unequivocally wrong.  It’s a sensible 
default for Fedora.  It’s just not the right choice for enterprise Linux 
servers.

If you want to go and argue that Fedora shouldn’t be driving CentOS, it’s not 
an impossible position to take, but you have to fill in the blank spot it 
leaves.  What would drive CentOS instead?

I don't get it.  Laptops are portable.  Don't you ever go out of your
house?   If you control everything you can easily tell your dhcp
server what IP to give it when you are there.

I'd argue that splitting the community into separate groups - one that
likes the design of unix/linux and runs large numbers of servers
because they like it, and one that would really rather have a windows
desktop for their only machine was the wrong thing to do in the first
place.  And having broken the community, letting the group that
doesn't like the product in the first place control the design is
probably a bad thing too.   Red Hat wasn't that bad back when the
people using it contributed directly to its development and were able
to use the result.

Seems odd the stock logwatch polls for audit data in messages while the
stock config has that data sent to /var/log/audit/audit.log? Not sure why
that doesn't have a distro specific override...

So on that premise, what are people using for reports on headless c7

In short, buy a replacement disk equal or greater size, create matching 
partitions and then use mdadm to add the replacement partition (of 
appropriate size) back into the array.


An example command to add a replacement partition would be:

mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sda1

I strongly recommend creating a virtual machine with a pair of virtual 
disks and simulating the replacement of the drive before trying it out 
on your real system. In any case, be sure to have good backups 
(immediately).

Could be a bad drive, as digimer alludes in his reply.

OTOH, I had a perfectly good drive get kicked out of my RAID-1
array a fewyears ago just because, well, I guess I could say
"it felt like it".

In reality, I had (in my ignorance) purchased a pair of WD
drives that aren't intended to be used in a RAID array, and
once in a long while (that was actually the only such instance
in the 4-5 years I've had that RAID array) it doesn't respond to
some HD command or other and gets dropped.

turned out to be easy to reinsert it and it ran for a long
time thereafter without trouble.

I can dig for the info on the drives and the nature of the
problem if anyone wants to see it.

That looks about right.  There may be more error messages in your system
logs (e.g., /var/log/messages, dmesg), which might tell you more about
the nature of the failure.

The linux RAID wiki is often a good (though sometimes dated) resource.

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reconstruction

If you wish to attempt a hot swap, make *sure* you pull the correct
device!  If you're not sure, or not sure your system even supports it,
it's safer to power down to do the swap.  You should verify which drive
has failed before shutting down, though this will be less catastrophic
if you pick the wrong one.

As long as you are careful, reconstructing a degraded RAID is usually
pretty straightforward.

desktop class SATA drives will report 'write successful' when there's 
still data in its buffers, so the raid will happily continue, then if 
the drive actually gets a unrecoverable write error, things are toast, 
the raid is out of sync.


this is a major reason I'm leaning towards using ZFS for future raids 
(primarily via using FreeBSD), because ZFS checksums and timestamps 
every block it writes, so it can look at the two blocks that a regular 
raid can only say "something is wrong here, but what it is I ain't 
exactly sure" and go "A is good, B is bad/stale, lets replicate A back 
to B", as part of the zpool 'scrub' process.

You have to do 
 cat domain 
in back tiks 

instead of read domain.

[CentOS] Radeon graphics problems with CentOS 6.6

2014-12-02 Thread Darby Vicker
Hello,

I saw in the CentOS 6.6 release notes that the Xorg ABI has changed but
that "This should not concern anyone who uses the default drivers shipped
with CentOS." I'm using the ATI drivers in Base but X still fails when I
boot a CentOS 6.6 kernel.  I was hoping this is a known problem that would
get fixed with a kernel update but I'm still having problems with the
2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64 kernel.  Relevant info below.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Darby

This is an error you can't blame on your device.  domain is not a file,
but a bash variable.  read takes stdin (which is what the OP's snippet
is doing) and populates the named variable(s) (domain in this case).

I've seen that too several times on my home "server".

Once in a while (usually on one of the first days I'm on vacation) one
of the drives stops responding.

A shutdown and cold restart is necessary to bring the drive alive again,
just a reboot won't fix it.

After this, I rebuild the RAID partitions and all is OK.

smartctl shows no sign of problems with the drive, so I suspect a
controller problem.

This is on a desktop machine used as a server.

I guess this explains why we have server grade hardware :-)
