Why isn´t there a simple way to allow access to files as needed?

CentOS mailing list

https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos


SELinux is a labelling system, every process has a label, every object 
on the system has a label.  There are rules in the kernel that allow 
access between process labels and system object labels, the kernel 
enforces the rules.


Some how this content on your system. /srv/data/files_articles, got 
labeled as samba content (samba_share_t). Now you want to share it via 
lighthttp (httpd_t).  If this content is only to be shared via 
lighthttpd, you would need to set the label to something that httpd_t 
can read.


man http_selinux (selinux-policy-docs rpm)

Will show you the labels.

httpd_sys_content_t is the usually type for httpd read only content.  
httpd_sys_content_rw_t is the type for read/write content.There are 
commands in the man page that explain how to change the default labels.


If you need to share this content via httpd and samba there are a couple 
of label types public_content_t, which allow you to share content with 
multiple services.  Also explained in the man page.



audit2allow is usually a secondary thing to use when there is no way to 
allow access.

Pete and others,

I am still having some 7.4 problems.  I just finished a fresh install
of 7.4 on an ASUS motherboard of which Centos now does not recognize
the video monitor.  I was required to do a 'Basic Graphic' install
instead of a full graphic install with the new 7.4 iso. After a
successful install I tried to change the resolution of the screen
display but Centos was unable to do so because it did not recognize the
monitor.  This was not a problem with 7.3.

The Mother board is :
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Product Name: B150M-A/M.2
Version: Rev X.0x

The CPU is :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz

It does not appear that Centos is recognizing the capability of the
mother board.  Does anyone have ideas as to a solution for this.  I am
not certain even buying a video card would make a difference.

Pete... what card did you purchase that worked???

Greg,
Look although you are using a different mobo, you are experiencing the 
same problems that I ran into.  At one point I managed to get a 
graphical display but at the resolution was extremely low 800x640 I 
believe, and no way to change it because it didn't look like the kernel 
recognized the monitor at all.


I just took a stab at a card figuring that no one else seemed to be 
having issues. I don't do anything graphically intensive so I just 
looked for what I thought was a good deal , and this card looked like a 
good deal, with a $10 rebate

I was a bit angered by the OS X lock-in, so I decided to replace it with
Linux. Unfortunately the hardware didn't play well with CentOS (KDE
would freeze with both the nouveau and the nvidia driver), but here's
what I managed to do.

Apple sells hardware. But people are buying it because they like MacOS
(which Apple only allows to run on Apple hardware). And they pay more for
the same hardware (we used to say that having macintosh is like driving
Ferrari: Ford or Subaru will get you around, but Ferrari gives you that
shic ;-) I have mixed feelings about MacOS and Apple over time, but I have
to admit that MacOS has the best of both worlds: great GUI, and real UNIX
under hood. I do not like several things about keyboard (as I my commands
containd "Linuxisms" on FreeBSD when I switched to it, and these days I
have "freebsd-isms" on Linuxes sometimes, I do have "macintoshisms"
everywhere too). In the past some 20 years ago we had a joke: looking at
mouse you can tell what system it is: 3 buttons - UNIX, 2 buttons:
Windows, 1 button - Macintosh. Windows at some point jumped to many
buttons, mac was staying with one button really long. But now they outdid
themselves, they have "iPadish" gestures on their mouse. Now you can or
rather have to pet their mouse (lightly going along its spine with two
fingers for scroll). I pet my cats, bit to pet mouse, this is something
;-)

Not really. Ultimately this is what the scheduler itself is meant to be
doing. What you've described is what the 'balanced' profile actually does.

For server users, I'd say it's a set it and forget it thing.

Laptop users who want performance when plugged in on AC, and powersave
when on battery... Those are the people who should be using something
like tlp or powertop (both in EPEL I think) to change this automatically.

You can get a list of installed modules using "semodule -l".  Module

I put CentOS 7 onto a MBP.  I'm not sure what vintage it is but probably
similar to yours.  IIRC the install was relatively straightforward,
including wireless and X11, two factors that were a huge PITA for me in
the past on Apple laptops.

With CentOS 7 I only had one problem, which proved to be a showstopper.
Normally I'm running a highly customized version of KDE on all my CentOS
desktop installations (installation is described in detail on my blog at
https://blog.microlinux.fr/poste-de-travail-centos-7/). On the MacBook
Pro, KDE simply froze at startup. The KDE splash screen would show the
first hard disk icon, then there would be a little chime, and that's it,
freeze.

I've already seen this behavior on other older laptops, and a peek in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log showed me that the card couldn't render the desired
effects (don't remember the exact error message). And this even though I
had installed the proprietary NVidia driver.

The thing would probably have worked with Xfce or MATE, but I had a
strict time limit for that installation. Ubuntu 16.04 worked pretty much
out of the box - and is nice to look at - so I decided to go with that.
Next time I'll give CentOS 7 + custom Xfce a spin.

Cheers,

Niki

[CentOS] yum groupinstall vs. yum group install

2017-09-24 Thread Nicolas Kovacs
Hi,

Is there a difference between 'yum groupinstall' and 'yum group
install'? As far as I can tell,

  # yum groupinstall "X Window System"

and

  # yum group install "X Window System"

get me the same result.

Just curious.

Niki

[CentOS] System shutdown on OOM

2017-09-24 Thread Thomas Plant

Hello all,

had an issue on with a virtualmachine on XenServer 7.0 yesterday. It is 
a Centos 7.4.1708 and in a OOM situation it just shut down.

No kernel panic where I could see a message, but it just turned itself off.

All I could see in the /var/log/messages was the following:

Sep 24 03:11:08 hostname xe-daemon: Running CollectDisk ...
Sep 24 03:11:21 hostname kernel: httpd invoked oom-killer:

Anybody seen this before? Is there a way to configure it so that it does 
a reboot instead of a shutdown?


Greetings,
Thomas
