[CentOS-announce] CentOS-6 CVE-2013-2094 Kernel Issue
There is a kernel security issue that allows unprivileged (normal) users to gain root access on CentOS-6.4 x86_64 machines. The upstream bugzilla entry is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962792 There is a *TESTING* kernel that should mitigate this issue available here: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/c6kernel/2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.cve20132094/ Signing Key: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Testing-6 This kernel is the current CentOS-6.4 kernel with this one patch added and recompiled: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2441281/ Note: This is signed by the centos-6 test key and it is provided as a best effort option to mitigate the above security issue while waiting for an upstream solution. It has been tested by our QA Team, but it is *NOT* an official CentOS package and needs to be fully tested for fitness by each user before used in production. Please see this mailing list thread: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2013-May/134726.html And/or this Forum thread: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=42827forum=59 For more details.

[CentOS] Slightly OT: Samsung Chromebook
I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Chromebook, largely for use while travelling. But I'd like to use it at home linked to my CentOS-6.4 server, rather than to the cloud. I'm wondering if this is practicable? I use LaTeX quite a lot, and I don't know if I could (a) download LaTeX to the Chromebook, (b) run LaTeX on the cloud, or (c) run LaTeX on my server from the Chromebook.

[CentOS] Best configuration for encrypted software RAID 1?
I'm setting up a computer with CentOS 6.4 and a mirrored software RAID. I would like it to be encrypted so I was wondering what the best configuration is. The only info I could find is http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2008-October/001912.html but it appears to be a bit old and the info on the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/EncryptTmpSwapHome ) doesn't seem to address RAIDs. My main question is will it be better to encrypt the RAID itself or the two partitions used by the RAID? Any other things I should be aware of?

It is *highly recommended* to write random data to the underlying disk device prior to creating the LUKS volume.

[CentOS] Shell Scripting Random Delay
I have a shell script that's run every 5 minutes I use to call many other shell scripts. Is there a way to wait a random number of seconds before executing each line? Something like this. wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script.pl) wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script5.pl) wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script7.pl) I have many entries in this file and I background them all because most must poll network devices which can take time. None should take over 2 minutes though. When I run them all at once they bog the system and cause some of latency graphs on equipment being monitored to look poor. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Shell Scripting Random Delay
Something like sleep $(($(date +%S)*3)) More random would be to use nanoseconds (see date manpage), but then you'd have to cook up an algorithm to test and toss out values (arguments to 'sleep') which you didn't want.

wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script5.pl)
wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script7.pl)
I have many entries in this file and I background them all because
most must poll network devices which can take time. None should take
over 2 minutes though.
When I run them all at once they bog the system and cause some of
latency graphs on equipment being monitored to look poor.
There's a better answer: do some testing to find out just how many you can
do at a time without the network bogging down, then
for ( $list space separated line of file with devices ) {
my_script.pl $list
}
With the datafile being something like
#fast device responders
dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4
dev5 dev6 dev7 dev8
#slow device responders
sdev1 sdev2
sdev3 sdev4
And make your script do all of the first line, then wait for responses.

But, rather than using so many home-grown scripts, maybe you should look at OpenNMS, cacti, etc. for monitoring frameworks to manage it all for you. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
