I would suggest it goes into the HOWTO list.
Looks very complete. Without testing the procedure, I will offer a few
minor suggestions and comments.
1. The preferred method for becoming root is usually su -. A user
will not have sudo access by default. You might want to link to
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BecomingRoot
2. On the rsync command I would use -aH or --archive --hard-link to
save space by preserving hard links.
3. There are some syntax problems with the code {{{ ... }}} structure
in the menu section.

I'm totally with you on the SSL/TLS. I've been swearing at that particular element for over two weeks now. Since there is no slapd.conf any more, the method of introducing a certificate is not logical, nor documented. I haven't looked into sssd.

Re: [CentOS-docs] New HOWTO Proposal: How to Configure Centralized Authentication on CentOS 6.0
Ok - so holding the article on the inclusion of SSL/TLS - I'll update this group once I've got that information. I also want to include access controls in the final document since it is an authentication server. Regarding sssd - I wouldn't hold the document for this. I've just been doing some reading on the subject. Even if it is deployed, that doesn't mean it is configured or started. It looks like authconfig handles the vast majority of the work involved in authentication configuration in CentOS. I'm assuming anyone who wants to use sssd will know how to alter the authconfig to allow that. If not, it can be reviewed in a different HOWTO. -Adrian -- Adrian Hall (Personal Account) photoadr...@gmail.com On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 2:57 PM, Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com wrote: On Tue, 13 Sep 2011, Adrian Hall wrote: I'm totally with you on the SSL/TLS.

[CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-5.7 i386 and x86_64
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.7 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. CentOS-5.7 is based on the upstream release EL 5.7 and includes packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release Notes for CentOS-5.7 can be found on-line at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.7 and everyone is encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ +++ Upgrading from CentOS-5.6 ( or CentOS-5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5): If you are already running CentOS-5.6 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : 'yum update' Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check you are indeed on CentOS-5.7, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that should return: 'centos-release-5-7.el5.centos.1' If you are running CentOS-5.6 and have the CR repo enabled, a simple 'yum update' will still move your machine to 5.7. But since the CR repo already contained all the 5.7 updates, there will only be a handful of rpms that need to be installed for the 5.6 to 5.7 upgrade. If you are not running the CR repo, we highly encourage everyone to install and run this repository on their machines. More details on the CR repo can be found online at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR +++ Downloading CentOS-5.7 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a hundred people seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. - -- Via BitTorrent : CD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/i386/CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent DVD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/i386/CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent md5sum's for these torrent files: 8e29e525f45c4a7b3a963cc01ec3459a CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent 32c9e0826b50d6be44823523be403c7f CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent 795d6c11b5ef8907653360af52b9f317 CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent 04c563f2c838bf6b255fcc5fcc18cf66 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent sha1sum's for these torrent files: 8a945ba89b03328480fde20eaa0b638ceb7f4509 CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent b1a18ba25e77543c4df9078dfafba990fbd58601 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent d3c4ed0d14fe1873bbcee931224e5e8819f779dc CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent 302850dd4f9a8198b303f872c83a5a16ec1c40c2 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent While torrent files will do their own content checks, and only the right torrent will register and download from torrent.centos.org - its very important for your own security that an md5/sha1sum check is done on the .torrent file itself, and ensure that only the torrent.centos.org tracker is being used.

The idea is that you open a connection first, establish a method of encrypted communications and then are prompted for the password or in the case of mysql, the ~/.my.cnf will send the password at the appropriate time. As for other users... I don't understand the logic of forcing them to use a PHP program vs. a CLI. MySQL fully supports the notion of users/permissions/grants, etc. and their access should be controlled using the integrated ACL system of MySQL, not some artificial notion of security based on CLI vs. WebApp. If they have DB Admin privileges using a GUI, there's nothing that they can't do in the GUI that they could do in a CLI except that the CLI is likely more effective and efficient and reinforces good habits/practices.

The idea is that you open a connection first, establish a method of encrypted communications and then are prompted for the password or in the case of mysql, the ~/.my.cnf will send the password at the appropriate time. As for other users... I don't understand the logic of forcing them to use a PHP program vs. a CLI. MySQL fully supports the notion of users/permissions/grants, etc. and their access should be controlled using the integrated ACL system of MySQL, not some artificial notion of security based on CLI vs. WebApp. If they have DB Admin privileges using a GUI, there's nothing that they can't do in the GUI that they could do in a CLI except that the CLI is likely more effective and efficient and reinforces good habits/practices. Craig From a technical point of view you are 100% right. The goal is not to thwart malicious intent, but rather to discourage the use of the mysql cli as an experimentation platform. If any particular dev is motivated enough to find and use the cli than all the better for him, if he wants it that bad then he is probably already familiar with it. It is exactly the effective and efficient bit that I am worried about!

[CentOS] copying data to CF card
Hi all, under centos 5 x86_64 - I was able to run fdisk to partition a CF card, make the filesystem, copy data to the filesystem, run grub from an x86_64 system to make the CF card bootable with grub. That all worked fine. Now since switching to centos 6 x86_64 I run the exact same script to program the CF card and when I insert that CF card into the end device I get a Grub error 2. I thought maybe a bad CF card... I tried 4 more times with 4 different CF cards. Same result Grub error 2. I then thought to try going back to centos 5 and try it with one of the 4 CF cards that did not work. It works under centos 5. What might be happening here I can use fdisk after the script and see the partitions, I can mount the partition all files are there, Running grub gives no errors. Just at boot I get error 2.

[CentOS] how to stop an in-progress fsck that runs at boot?
I can't seem to find the answer to this question via web search... I changed some hardware on a server, and upon powering it back on, got the /dev/xxx has gone 40 days without being check, check forced message. Now it's running fsck on a huge (2 TB) ext3 filesystem (5400 RPM drives no less). How can I stop this in-progress check? Ctrl-C doesn't seem to have any effect. Is the only answer to wait it out? Also, as a side question: I always do this---let my servers run for a very long time, power down to change/upgrade hardware, then forget about the forced fsck, then pull my hair out waiting for it to finish (because I can't figure out how to stop it once it starts). I know about tune2fs -c and -i, and also the last (or is it second to last?) column in /etc/fstab. My question is more along the lines of best practices---what are most people doing with regards to regular fsck's of ext2/3/4 filesystems? Do you just take the defaults, and let it delay the boot process by however long it takes? Disable it completely? Or do something like taking the filesystem offline on a running system?
