Re: [CentOS-docs] Arabic Wiki - resend because of bounce back

2012-03-28 Thread Karanbir Singh
Hi,

Doing a language port needs a bit more effort, you are certainly not
being ignored.

What would help is if we could get some more people involved, people who
have been seen in the centos ecosystem in the past, and have some level
of trust associated. Is that possible ?

fwiw, I'm hoping to get the ID and AR efforts into sync and get things
setup for both at the same time.

 Is this a bug of the installer in text mode and if not is there a

 It's a bug, but RH considers it a feature.
 RH's text based install is now extremely limited.  I believe the only
 workaround is make a kickstart file if you want custom partitioning.
 
 RedHat calls it streamlined and simplified.   
 

you can still run a vnc install from the netinstall emdia and get the

[CentOS] How to restrict reboot/poweroff from non-admins?

2012-03-28 Thread Timo Neuvonen
I just noticed that CentOS (6.2) by default allows any user to 
reboot/poweroff system without any admin rights, or without any further 
questions, if using commands 'reboot' or 'poweroff'. But 'shutdown' still 
requires admin rights.

What is the preferred way to restrict any regular user from rebooting / 
powering off the system (by accident)?

IMHO, sudo should be required for this purpose (at least in a system with 
shared remote access from multiple users, single-user laptops etc may be a 
different case)

[CentOS] Postfix problems with maximum messages size

2012-03-28 Thread James B. Byrne
CentOS-6.2

I am confused.  I need to accept messages somewhat larger
than the default 10M allowed by Postfix.  However,
changing the message_size_limit in /etc/postfix/main.cf is
having no effect.

Squirrelmail is configured to accept and transmit messages
up to 24M and this identical configuration is working on a
Sendmail installation.  So the problem appears to me to be
strictly at Postfix matter.

# grep message_size_limit /etc/postfix/*
/etc/postfix/main.cf:message_size_limit = 2048

# postfix reload
postfix/postfix-script: refreshing the Postfix mail system

# postconf -n | grep size_limit
message_size_limit = 2048

smtp message generated to squirrelmail client

Message not sent. Server replied:

Requested mail action aborted: exceeding storage
allocation
552 5.2.3 Message exceeds maximum fixed size (1200)

What is going on?  Why am I unable to have configured
limit of 20M take effect?

Only console users (local users) are allowed to do that. It's configured
using pam (I use Centos5.8 so forgive me if this is not the same for
CentOS6). I tried to change settings in /etc/pam.d/ and that indeed works:

/etc/pam.d/poweroff
/etc/pam.d/reboot
/etc/pam.d/halt

I added as a second line :
auth   sufficient   pam_rootok.so
# prevent normal users to reboot
auth   required pam_deny.so


But still the user locally logged on to the machine (gnome session) can
switch it off. So I think I also missed something.

Got me there.  The access mode does seem to be the difference.  I tested 
from the GUI on CentOS and via ssh on RHEL.  Logged on to the console in 
a GUI on RHEL6 a user can reboot or poweroff, and presumably also halt.  
Seems to be the console user thing.  So CentOS does match upstream.

I just did some research on this ... the files that need to be modified
to change this behavior are:

/etc/pam.d/poweroff
/etc/pam.d/halt
/etc/pam.d/reboot

The files in CentOS are identical to upstream ... they are also
identical to each other and look like this:

auth   sufficient   pam_rootok.so
auth   required pam_console.so
#auth   include system-auth
accountrequired pam_permit.so

I am sure those can be adjusted so console access by itself is not
sufficient.

That's what I like to see, but it doesn't works for me  
/dev/disk/by-uuid only has uuid for sda and not for sdb and sdc...

Do I need to configure something under udev or scsi_id to rescan scsi 
disks at host startup or something similar???

Re: [CentOS] parallel bash scripts

2012-03-28 Thread Ali Corbin
I solved a similar problem by installing gnu parallel on my system.
It did everything that I wanted, and better than I would have coded.

 Check out the redirection at the end of each command.  12 redirects
 the standard out of your child command to the standard error which then
 appears in the parent shell.  At the end the last  launches your
 command into a background shell and then moves on to launch the next
 command.  The redirections don't care if the command ever terminates.

 The result is that both commands are launched and the parent shell
 terminates leaving the standard error attached to the terminal that the
 parent was launched in.

 I don't think its any more user hostile than fdisk is, just perhaps less
 familiar.

parted(8) commits changes as you make them.  Those of us who grew up 
with :wq and File  Save (which seems to be fading away these days) 
expect to have the option of quitting without saving.  Automatic commit 
is fine if you expect it, so you plan your changes more carefully, but 
there's a whole lot of us with ingrained never mind, get me out of 
here Ctrl-C reflexes.


Worse, to my mind, is that parted(8) makes you explicitly give it more 
values than fdisk(8) does.  fdisk(8) uses information it has plus 
reasonable guesses to provide reasonable defaults for almost every 
question it asks:

- parted(8) can't create partitions on a new disk until you mklabel.

You may claim the reason for this is that parted supports many partition 
table types, but actually, fdisk supports more than just MBR.  The 
essential difference is that fdisk(8) has a reasonable default, 
parted(8) does not.  Is there a good reason parted couldn't implicitly 
do mklabel gpt if you say mkpart on a zeroed disk?


- fdisk(8) gives reasonable defaults when creating partitions for the 
start and end values.  Its default start happens to be wrong in this 4K 
sector world, but parted(8) would be expected to fix that, if it offered 
a default.  Why should the operator be expected to know that starting at 
0 or 63 is a bad idea?  Why should the operator be expected to know that 
-1 means end of disk?  Why should the operator have to do arithmetic 
to pack 8 partitions back-to-back?

You can trick parted(8) into doing some of the arithmetic for you; if 
you tell it all partitions start at 0, it offers to slide the new 
partition into position after existing ones.  But, this again gets into 
specialized knowledge the user really has no good reason to have.  fdisk 
doesn't make you think about partition start positions and it lets you 
give relative partition sizes instead of compute end values.

Maybe you don't see the problem.  Consider this partition layout:

/boot: 500 MB
swap: 16 GB
/: 20 GB
/home: the rest

In fdisk speak, the commands are:

n, p, 1, [Enter], +500m
n, p, 2, [Enter], +16g, t, 82
n, p, 3, [Enter], +20g
n, p, 4, [Enter], [Enter]

In parted speak, it is:

mklabel gpt
mkpart, [Enter], [Enter], 1m, 501m
mkpart, [Enter], linux-swap, 501m, 16.51g
mkpart, [Enter], [Enter], 16.51g, 36.51g
mkpart, [Enter], [Enter], 36.51g, -1

The fdisk sequence is more self-explanatory.  The only things it makes 
you tell it, which it should be able to guess or figure out on it own, 
are the partition numbers.

The fdisk sequence is also less arbitrary.  You might think the magic 
number 82 is more arbitrary than linux-swap, but I tried swap first 
and got told to start over, proving it's just as arbitrary.

Oh, and realize that with parted(8) I had to manually ensure proper 
alignment the whole way.  If parted gave a default start value, it could 
ensure it was always aligned.


parted(8) has its points.  GPT support, partition types given by FS name 
instead of arbitrary MS-DOS type IDs, the ability to mkfs for *some* 
supported filesystem types (not all!), resizing...

Still, I'd have to agree with m.roth: parted(8) has a...um...classical 
UI.  It's not far advanced beyond the ex(1) school of UI design.

Yes, it is so bad that it is surprising that there is not a text-mode
program that performs the functions of gparted - or is there one?
That is, something that gives you a fill-in-the-form setup with
reasonable defaults, then runs parted (and maybe mklabel, mkfs, etc.)
for you.   Do we really need to run X for that?

Hi

I have been using gdisk for at least a year on Centos and F15/F16

Current Centos 6.2 server disk was probably partitioned using F15 gdisk

 Yes, it is so bad that it is surprising that there is not a text-mode
 program that performs the functions of gparted - or is there one?

There's cgdisk, from the gdisk package in EPEL.

It solves most of the problems called out in my rant.

Re: [CentOS] How to restrict reboot/poweroff from non-admins?

2012-03-28 Thread Timo Neuvonen
 Only console users (local users) are allowed to do that. It's configured
 using pam (I use Centos5.8 so forgive me if this is not the same for
 CentOS6). I tried to change settings in /etc/pam.d/ and that indeed works:

 /etc/pam.d/poweroff
 /etc/pam.d/reboot
 /etc/pam.d/halt

 I added as a second line :
 auth   sufficient   pam_rootok.so
 # prevent normal users to reboot
 auth   required pam_deny.so
 

 But still the user locally logged on to the machine (gnome session) can
 switch it off. So I think I also missed something.

I can't test it right now, but reading 'man pam.d' made me wonder if
'required'  in the 'auth required pam_deny.so' in the example above
should be replaced with  'requisite'.

But... but... parted responds to all partitioning with a statement that
the partition's not aligned. And that's, well, memory's much cheaper these
days, they can afford 80 chars instead of one.

[CentOS] mismatch in openssh latest rpm available at centos

2012-03-28 Thread Vinay Nagrik
Hello Group,

The latest rpm in openssh is 5.8, however, the corresponding latest rpm
available in centos 5.7  is only

openssh-4.3p2-72.el5_6.3.x86_64.rpm


and
in 6.0 centos is

openssh-5.3p1-20.el6.x86_64.rpm

I have following questions.

1. I want to start from src.rpm and where can I get the src.rpm for
openssh-5.3p1-20.el6.x86_64.rpm.

2. Can I install openssh-5.3p1-20.el6.x86_64.rpm SAFELY with 5.7 centos
without causing any problems.

3. Which of these two rpms will be most compatible with latest openssh rpm
version 5.8.

Please let me know.  It is important for my work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You may want to read about how Redhat and thus CentOS handles package
versions with regard to security patches, etc...  There is information
here:
https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting/

As for obtaining the most recent version of openssh for other reasons
(such as features), it is strongly recommended against compiling your
own, and instead installing the package from another publicly accepted
repository, such as EPEL or RepoForge.  Any packages on there have
already been compiled and tested to work with your version of CentOS.
I would avoid installing the C6 version of openssh on C5, and instead
make sure to get the proper package meant for C5.

 I think its trick is the default 1M offset it adds at the start.
 You may be right... but I'm not sure. We'll see if the 3tb drive I've just
 formatted takes less time - the others I used gparted with.

I've found every one of these utilities to be problematic at various
time, particularly on systems with a GPT bios.  Each one seems to have
its own strengths and weaknesses.  Though I don't remember exactly how
it works, my recollection is that there are ways to trick fdisk into
doing alignment by specifying the -H (number of heads) and the -S
(number of sectors per track).  You'll have 1 unaligned partition at the
beginning because of the MBR, but all the rest can be forced into the
desired alignment.
