Quick’n’(really) dirty SELinux howto:
1) Run the service. fails due to missing selinux policy.
2) grep service_pattern /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M
myservice_policy
3) do what output says. (semodule -i myservice_policy.pp normally)
4) goto 1. That way, you’ll create and allow step by step necessary
rights so your service ends up running normaly.

The content I gave you is from mydovecot.te (human readable version
of .pp created by audit2allow).

After a quick look at audit2allow man, it looks like you can get .pp by
doing:
make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile myservice_policy.pp (it’ll
look after myservice_policy.te in PWD).

Why do you have rsyncd enabled if you don't have rsyncd.conf ? If your

As explained by others, SMART_HOST is used for domains for which it has

If you want to relay all mail, you need to also add MAIL_HUB.

I'm playing with centos 7.1 and would like to use gnome 3.16.

The only way would be to take F22 src.rpm, and recompile it AFAIK.

 No, I don't think it will ever learn from that,, but there is a way
 you can set a rule to 'never mark as spam' based on the sender. Which

FWIW, I recently solved one reason GMail was always marking my emails as
spam: my MTA has IPv6, and to send emails, it was by default using the
rfc3041 temporary addresses as source, so each time a different address
when connecting to Google's MX's.

As soon as I set it up to use the propre static IPv6, marking them as
«not spam» in Gmail subsequently worked. So it looks like they also keep
track of the sender's MTA address, not only of the email address.

Obviously not the reason for everybody, but hopefully it can help others :-)

[CentOS] tcsd service fails on boot because device missing

2015-04-07 Thread Laurent Blume
Hello all,

On CentOS 7.1, I activated the tcsd service. When I did it manually, it
worked without problem, however, on reboot, I noted it was failed. I
restarted it, and it worked immediately. But more reboots confirmed that
it's always failing when the system starts.
It seems the service is started too early, before the device it uses is
created.

Here's the logs:

# journalctl -u tcsd

The device appears at about the same time, it must be a matter of seconds:

Is that a bug of the service or something I can fix?

Re: [CentOS] centos 7 database access only possible trough localhost and not IP

2015-03-15 Thread Laurent CREPET
Hi Robert,

I have almost no experience with CentOS 7(still using CentOS 6). However, I
recommed the following checks:

1. Check that PostgreSQL is listening on 0.0.0.0 (all ip addresses) and not
127.0.0.1. To check, you can use the command:

  netstat -tuplan

If PostgreSQL is listening only on 127.0.0.1, you'll never be able to
connect to it from the network. You'll have to change the PostgreSQL
settings.

2. Check that iptables (firewall) is allowing the connections from the
network to PostgreSQL. Use the following command to get the list of rules
that are currently loaded:

  iptables -L

  I am all new to centos but I have good experience working with ubuntu and

 Now I experience the following problem.
 I can only access postgres using localhost as host. If I use the IP

 (even 127.0.0.1).
 I found a similar problem when accessing the host using http. There I
 found out
 (after lots of hair pulling) that I have to set a value using

 So I assume, that I have a similar problem here.
 I would be grateful, if somebody could point me in the right direction

Re: [CentOS] C7, igb and DCB support for pause frame ?

2015-02-27 Thread Laurent Wandrebeck


Steven Tardy sjt5a...@gmail.com a écrit :


 DCB requires Priority Flow Control(PFC) aka 802.1Qbb.
Flow Control is 802.3x.

The two are often confused and not compatible.

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ethernet-controllers/ethernet-controller-i350-datasheet.html

Mentions flow control several times, but never
PFC/priority-flow-control/802.1Qbb.

PFC capable switches purposefully disable 802.3x flow control. Also PFC has
to negotiate between two devices/switches matching QoS/CoS/no-drop policies.

Some good reading for beginner PFC knowledge:

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/ieee-802-1-data-center-bridging/at_a_glance_c45-460907.pdf

What exactly are you trying to pause? Typically FCoE/iSCSI is set to
no-drop and Ethernet traffic is paused/dropped in favor of storage
traffic. If there is only one type/class/CoS of traffic PFC won't gain much
over regular flow control/802.3x.

Hope that helps.


Hello Steven,

You’ve been really helpful !

Our switches indeed do support 802.3x and not 802.1Qbb.

Ethtool telling:
Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric

I guess (I’m more of a sysad guy than netad) we’re on the right track  
and have no need of DCB* and lldpad.


Actually, our masters will be metadata server for the distributed FS  
(RozoFS not to name it), and will export a system image via NFS to  
nodes (2×1gbps, 802.3ad) which are « diskless » (no disk for OS but  
disks for distributed FS storage only).

FC (802.3x) usage is mandatory for RozoFS.
There will be some other traffic due to HTCondor (nodes will be  
execute nodes too), syslog being centralized on masters…
I know, that not the perfect config, but we had to do that way due to  
budget constraints.
Now I need to find how to get a single image for all the nodes :)  
(PXE, dhcpd, dracut and yum --installroot should do the trick I hope).


Thanks again for the head’s up !

It seems that CentOS is frozen to net-snmp 5.5 and I'm don't really want 
to use anything that I can't easily manage with yum. The weird thing 
is that I have another server with the same config/CentOS 
version/Net-Snmp version and I have no issues with the snmp process on 
that server. I could raise the open file limit but that just seems 
unnecessary since I don't think that snmp is supposed to work that way.


Anything else I could try to troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

  For some reason I can't seem to enable SELinux on this one host.

  Here's my SELinux config file:

[root@beta-new:~] #cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted


And when I check if it's enabled this is what I get:

[root@beta-new:~] #getenforce
Disabled

But when I go to set SELinux to enabled, even with the config file set as
you see it above, I get this result:

[root@beta-new:~] #setenforce 1
setenforce: SELinux is disabled

And nothing I can do enables it on this host. So how, can I solve this
problem? I would definitely appreciate any advice you may have.

Thanks

Ok, so is that a confirmation that installing this kernel, even

Every RH errata contains the following text:

And that’s the case for that kernel:

So, imho, just yum update and reboot. You’ll be at 6.5 and far more safer.

 It works fine but my wife wants to change the server name from old.com

 My approach would be to use sed to change all occurences of old.com to
 new.com.
 Specifically, I used grep to identify the following files where I should
 make the changes.

 /etc/postfix/main.cf
 /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
 /etc/squirrelmail/config.php
 /etc/amavisd.conf
 /etc/sysconfig/network (change host name)
 In addition, there would be an MX record for mail.new.com pointing to
 the IP of the server.

 My question is, will this work or will I corrupt my email server? If I
 mess it up I can always restore it to the original.

 Thank you,

 When they fail, they go to GRUB. I try booting from disk from the drac

 It looks like the complete centos kickstart occurs as it goes through

 Any idea why this would happen with identical hardware, identical

[CentOS] fixing partition alignment ?

2012-12-12 Thread Laurent Wandrebeck
Hi there,

I've discovered that most of the hard drives used in our cluster got
misaligned partitions, thus crippling perfs. Is there any way to fix
that without having to delete/recreate properly aligned partitions, then
format it and refill disks ?
I'd be glad not to have to toy with moving several 10s of TB disk by
disk :D (most disks are JBOD as we're using a fault tolerant network
FS, moosefs not to name it).
insert your favorite search engine wasn't helpful, unfortunately.
Drives are ext4, driven by C6 x86_64.

Even if you need to do this remotely, you can use gparted through ssh 
with X11 forwarding.


 I'll certainly have a look at gdisk

 Sorry for the noise. I'll let  people know how I get on after the
 weekend.

If you consider resizing your RAID volumes one day, I'll recommend the 
already proposed solution: use LVM, with physical volume directly on the 
disk device. No partitionning. Why ? Because, as far as I known, parted 
developers has decided to remove the unmaintained/old code to resize 
ext* filesystems from parted.

I don't know about gdisk features. Perhaps, it can do better than 
parted...

 Hi all,

  Last week I have migrated 5 CentoS 6.2 servers to CentOS 6.3. In all
 of them, I receive every day problems with logwatch:

 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch:

 Can't exec sendmail: No such file or directory at 
 /usr/sbin/logwatch
 line 1040, TESTFILE line 1.
 Can't execute sendmail -t: No such file or directory

  It is really strange, because I am using default config ... On the
 other side, I have three CentOS 6.2 servers and these problems 
 doesn't
 appears ...

  How can I debug this??

It sounds like an SELinux issue:

 both display the GRUB menu alright but freeze immediately afterwards,

I've found what is probably your post on VMware Communities.
http://communities.vmware.com/message/2112173?tstart=0

It seems there's a second 4.1 update 3 build (811144):
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_UScmd=displayKCexternalId=2020362

It fixes another panic, so trying this build may help.

 Greetings,
 I run my own email server for some domains I administer, on a centos
 vps server with a very small number of users.

 The only services are smtp, imap/pop, webmail



 however, there is something that is using much more memory than
 normal (see the comment below from the hosting sysadmin after he
 checked user_beancounters). Initially we thought it was apache, but
 even switching it off didn't change anything. What now?

My 2 cents. You probably checked a lot of things.

- a filesystem (almost) full ?
- did you check the logs ? any errors ?
- a user sending/receiving a large e-mail ? what is the maximum size of 
an e-mail in your MTA settings ?
- more mail-services-related processes ?
- did you try to stop mail services to see if the server usability is 
back ?
- do you run antispam and/or antivirus on incoming/outgoing e-mails ?

- to help with DNS, you can probably enable nscd or setup dnsmasq, so 
it would reduce DNS queries sent to DNS servers.

Hi Johan,

Did you look at sssd ? My understanding is that it's designed for

 Yes and yes I suggest checking out the FreeIPA mailing list and
 IRC channel if you have any trouble as you'll find quite a few people
 there.

 As a heads up IPA 2.2 will be coming in CentOS 6.3 which includes SSH
 key maintenance in IPA and form based authentication for when you
 don't have a kerberos token to pass to the IPA interface.
Hi,

deployed it at work, two (kvm) instances for HA, with DNS.
Named segfaulted here and there, and when the master instance failed,
takeover didn't work for whatever reason.
A really nice piece of software i'd have liked to continue to use, but
not yet prod ready imho.
I guess I'll have another look after 6.3.

 Hello Laurent,
 
 Thanks! Very useful info, I never even heard of MooseFS and it
 sounds very nice.
 
 One question: what happens if you lose your master server in their 
 designation? Or is it possible to make the master server redundant
 as well?
Master HA is not yet possible from moosefs itself.
You can use one (or more) metalogger(s) to keep backups of metadata,
so you can start another master to replace the failing one.
master (ECC ram, redundant psu) never failed here, fingers crossed :)

[CentOS] C6 gateway/firewall problem

2011-12-13 Thread Laurent Wandrebeck
Hi,

I'm using system-config-firewall (C6 x86_64, fully up to date) to
configure a gateway/firewall box. 2 nics, eth0 (configured as bridge0,
mtu 7200) connected to the lan, eth1 being connected directly to the
internet (public ip, mtu 1500). ssh port is open and accessible. nat is
working fine. I've put bridge0 as a trusted interface, eth1 is
masqueraded. I've put ports 20,21,80 as forwarded ports on eth1 to
lan machines.
Thing is nmap (and classical ways to access these protocols) say it's
closed.
I've tried to make 20,21,80 open and forwarded, to no avail.

Could someone give me a hand ?

Thanks,
Laurent.

 Folks,
 
 This is, umm, odd. Two, at least, and possibly a third over the 
 weekend, of some older Dell 1950's, suddenly died shortly after being 
 upgraded to 5.6. They're all about the same age, and it's not happening 
 with other systems, but they claim a scsi abort, and the f/s goes 
 read-only. The little lcd screen goes orange, and shows a fatal error E 
 171, and B0 F3 D0? D0 F3 B0? I forget, and won't be able to double check 
 my memory till the morning.
 
 Has anyone seen this, with a f/s suddenly going r/o, on machines 
 that seemed to be running fine for years? Since this is two? three 
 machines, that's somewhere between coincidence and enemy action.

Probably a coincidence. Last week, I lost 2 disks in the same system in 2 days. 
The 2nd time, even if RAID 5 status was optimal, it did not handle the loss of 
one hard-disk.

We have a bunch of PowerEdge 1950/2950 running CentOS 5.6. No specific problem 
since the upgrade (I though about an issue with Squid, but no link with the 
fact that I upgraded to 5.6).

If you have the LCD screen orange, this is an hardware-related issue. Some of 
them can be prevented/fixed by upgrading firmwares. You can easily upgrade from 
CentOS using Dell Server Update Utility or Dell Linux Hardware repository.

No need, I have plugged my brain today. Check my latest e-mail (squid does not 
like temporary filesystem full in /var/log/squid) ;-)

No link with 5.6 upgrade at all.

Thanks for your help (all).

 Not sure it is working : logrotate -d is debug mode, it actually does
 nothing. You have to try again without -d to check if it works. Don't
 forget to check the content of /var/log/squid/ (file size, date and

I have run the following commands:
logrotate -d -v -f /etc/logrotate.d/squid
logrotate -v -f /etc/logrotate.d/squid
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate

After each one, service squid status was returning squid's pid. squid's logs 
were normal.

squid's logs are rotated on a weekly basis by logrorate. squid crashed 2 times, 
with one week between.

Now, I have switched to daily/rotate 15, and squid did not crash since the 
change (2 days ago).

 I do not see anything listed in the upsteam bugzilla concerning squid

I also checked... nothing related to squid crash after upgrading to 5.6.

squid logs are rotated on a weekly basis, so it seems that squid crashes once a 
week here.

In the default setup, squid is accessing directly to its log files. As a 
workaround, I can probably switch to syslog, so squid would be tolerant to 
logrotate (and not concerned about).

I would prefer not to compile anything. From squid web site, I found references

 Have you double checked that your problem is not a permission 
 problem, or some SELinux issue ?

SELinux is disabled.

[root@stargate ~]# grep SELINUX /etc/selinux/config 
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
SELINUXTYPE=targeted


 You can also try, as root :
 $ logrotate -d -v -f /etc/logrotate.d/squid # and without -d 
 $ squid -k rotate

[CentOS] since CentOS 5.6 upgrade, squid crashes

2011-05-03 Thread Laurent CREPET
Hi,

I have recently upgraded our web proxy to CentOS 5.6. Before the upgrade, squid 
was running fine.

Since the upgrade, sometimes, squid crashes:
 [root@stargate ~]# service squid status
 squid dead but pid file exists

Looking at log files, I think it could be related to logrotate stuff, 
 -rw-r-  1 squid squid 42713088 May  3 04:02 store.log
 -rw-r-  1 squid squid 8192 May  3 04:02 cache.log
 -rw-r-  1 squid squid 35778160 May  3 04:02 access.log

I will look at the latest RPMs to check differences on /etc/logrotate.d/squid.

Laurent.

Yes, using a PAE enabled kernel. Anyway, apps won't be able to use more

 the option of using a 64 bit centos isnt possible.
Strange. 64 bits is here for years, 64 runs 32 bits code perfectly.

Either PAE or switch to 64 bits. There's no other path.

PAE allows a 32 bits host to see more than 4GB of ram. but each process
is still limited to ~3gb. To dive a bit more into technical details,
PAE is like EMS in DOS time. In EMS, you saw the whole ram, but
couldn't allocate more than 64KB per process. With PAE, the same, with
a limit of 4GB-OS stuff per process, so it gives something like 3GB.
Hope I'm clear.

Depends the domain :) We work in satellite images processing here, so

Moreover, PAE memory access is far from optimal. You're better run a 64

 On servers you generally have more than one process running so the
 whole experience will sitll be a good one with 4GB+ RAM, upto 32GB if

Don't know about upper limit of PAE. Wikipedia says 64GB.

 This is probably going ot provide the answer (to you atleast, its not

 `uname -r` tells me I'm on kernel 2.6.18-92.el5.
 
 Within /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/fs/ thers is no ext4, but I
 have do have a /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 folder and in there is
 kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko so a newer kernel is preset with the required
 module but its not active, or something? I'm going to say I need to
 recompile my kernel and include the module since its present on my box
 or work out why the newer kernel files are present but not in use?
You need to boot on the latest kernel. Or it is not 5.5 (nor 5.4 as far as I 
can remember - it looks like a 5.3 one). So ext4 is unsupported.

Hi,
You can take a look at http://www.moosefs.org.
It is a network, fault-tolerant FS, posix compliant, allows snapshots,
uses fuse, your code doesn't need to be changed to access the FS. You
can easily choose the number of replicas of files/dirs you want. It is
easy to deploy, runs in user-space. Some people runs it successfully on
500+TB. Plus, I've made a CentOS repo here:

[CentOS] MooseFS repository

2010-06-11 Thread Laurent Wandrebeck
Hi,

A repository for MooseFS is just born. It provides CentOS 5.5 SRPMS,
i386 and x86_64.

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/; wget http://centos.kodros.fr/moosefs.repo ; yum
install mfs

Two points:
- DNS may not be up to date where you are. The subdomain has just been
created. Please be patient.
- I have made an update to the .spec file, to move config files to
/etc/mfs instead of /etc. I had no time to test it yet. I guess it
works :)

What is MooseFS ?

MooseFS is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It
spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the
user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts as
other Unix-alike file systems:

* A hierarchical structure (directory tree)
* Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and
modification times)
* Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and
sockets)
* Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not
necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which
refer to the same data on MooseFS)
* Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address
and/or password

Distinctive features of MooseFS are:

* High reliability (several copies of the data can be stored across
separate computers)
* Capacity is dynamically expandable by attaching new
computers/disks
* Deleted files are retained for a configurable period of time (a
file system level trash bin)
* Coherent snapshots of files, even while the file is being
written/accessed

For more details, see http://www.moosefs.org
Feedback welcome !

Thanks,
Laurent.

 Hi,

 I'm currently writing an install script for an application, and my

 Only thing I found is:

 if [ grep medintux /etc/group ]; then
        continue
 else
        groupadd medintux
 fi

 Apparently I can't seem to negate the test, e. g. something like

 if !(grep medintux /etc/group)

 Any suggestions for the correct syntax here ?

 Thanks,

Why don't you use groupadd -f ? It will not override the group if it
already exists, and shortens the code :)

gcc 4.3 was a technology preview in 5.3. It became 4.4 in 5.4.
4.1.2 is the supported version in 5.x.

Use Redhat 5 one. CentOS 5.x is binary compatible with RHEL 5.x.

Re: [CentOS] EXT4 status for centos 5.3

2009-09-03 Thread Laurent Wandrebeck

 Hi,

 I was wondering what is the current status fro ext4 support in Centos.  I've
 noticed that is marked as dev when I try to use it from the installer.

 Does anybody have a scary story to prevent using it?
For now, I'm running two C5.3 x86_64 with it without any problem
(unless you consider that being faster that ext3 is one;).

box1
/dev/sdb1  14T  7,3T  6,2T  54% /data
/dev/sdb1 on /data type ext4dev (rw)

box2
/dev/sdb1  14T   11T  2,7T  81% /data
/dev/sdb1 on /data type ext4dev (rw)

Laurent.

Re: [CentOS] Graphic card question for CentOS 5.3

 Hello,

 just a short hardware question. Does CentOS 5.3 supports a Leadtek
 LR2960 (model S26361-D1910-V128, agp, 128mb) graphic card with a nVidia
 GeForce FX5200 chip and dual dvi?
 Thank you very much!


 regards
 Olaf
A couple boxes use fx5200 at work without problem.
can't tell about dual dvi, untested.

Regards,
Laurent.
