Here's how we do our patches: Twice a year we go through and apply a standard patch set to all of our Unix systems. For Solaris, we pick a date, download the x_Recommended.zip patch bundle and use that across all of our servers. For HP-UX, we pick the latest Quarterly updates. My question is, how can I do this with Red Hat? We typically will patch development servers, let it "burn in" for a week, then repeat for QA and Prod. How can I ensure that the Prod server gets the same patches as the Dev box where there can and will be as many as 3-4 weeks between patches being applied to each environment?

URL: From kwylie at csc.com Thu Mar 3 19:59:18 2005 From: kwylie at csc.com (Kelwin Wylie) Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 14:59:18 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] 403 forbidden - you don't have permission to access /home/*/public_html on this server Message-ID: This problem may be caused by SELinux. It is installed by default in RHEL 4 and one of the daemons that is affected is httpd. The Release Notes have a section on httpd where it says: A file or directory which is not labeled with a context on the Apache's allowable types will generate a 403 Forbidden error. Here is a full quote of that section of the release notes. httpd o Under the default SELinux security configuration, httpd is covered by the targeted policy. This increases security and Web server stability by specifically granting or denying httpd access to system objects. However, because this has the potential to cause previously-working configurations (such as those that use PHP) to no longer function, you must understand how SELinux works in order to ensure that your configuration is both secure and functional. For example, a Boolean can be set to give specific permission to httpd to read objects in ~/public_html/ as long as they are labeled with the security context httpd_sys_content_t. The Apache daemon cannot access objects (files, applications, devices, and other processes) that have a security context not specifically granted access by SELinux to httpd. By allowing Apache access to only what it needs to do its function, the system is protected from compromised or misconfigured httpd daemons. Because of the need for both standard Linux directory and file permissions as well as SELinux file context labels, adminstrators and users will need to know about relabeling files. Examples of relabeling include the following commands (one for recursively relabeling the contents of a directory, and one for relabeling a single file): chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t public_html chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t public_html/index.html A file or directory which is not labeled with a context on the list of Apache's allowable types will generate a 403 Forbidden error. You can configure Boolean values or selectively disable targeted policy coverage for just Apache (or any of the covered daemons) using system-config-securitylevel. Under the SELinux tab, within the Modify SELinux Policy area, you can modify the Boolean values for Apache. If you wish, you can select to Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon, which disables the transition from unconfined_t (the default type that acts transparently like standard Linux security without SELinux) to the specific daemon type, i.e., httpd_t. Disabling this transition effectively turns off SELinux coverage for that daemon, returning it to standard Linux security only. ----------- I don't fully understand SELinux and have not looked at its effect beyond reading the release notes, but your description of your problem sounds like it might be this.

I built the library and sent it to them. When they built and ran their program, it crashes. When they did a ldd on the executable, they see > ldd a.out > libintexcmo.so => not found > libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb75bd000) > libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb75ba000) > libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7483000) > /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb75eb000) I looked on my system and noticed that I did not have a /lib/tls directory. When they do the following: >LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 the program works!! It seems like it has something to do with these /lib/tls run time libraries and my question is where do I find these?

Is there something newer? Do I need to turn on large file support explicitly? If so, how? I tried: dd if=/dev/zero of=/local_disk/big_file.tst bs=1024k count=3000 and it ran without error. I also ran this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/local_disk/big_file.tst bs=1024k count=3000 without failure as well. I'm at a loss, because the ftp of 33GB succeeded, this must be an NFS limitation?

If you want to block any incoming traffic from outside your network to that port, block all incoming connections on port 25. As for inside your network, a software based firewall on the server can be setup to block all incoming connections on port 25. These are ways to block access. Depending on your mail server, you can also set it up to disallow any relaying and only permit access from certain IPs, or from authenticated users. I guess what it all comes down to though is... What reasons exactly are you trying to block/secure this from telnet for? If you are just simply trying to block telnet and not people from receiving/sending their email through the server, that can't be done. Your mail server doesn't recognize the difference between a telnet session and a mail client. Sorry if these seems somewhat disjointed.

Some of the machines run Apache and postfix. The average load is usually around 0.5 on some machines and 0.0 on others. When the load spikes, it's usually around 3.0, and has reached 5.0 on some occations. We have tried turning off all services (NFS, NFS mounts, postfix, crond, etc) and Apache, none of which made any significant reduction in the load. On one occasion there were a few updates available for vim, cups, and cpio. Doing the updates fixed the load problem immediately, so I figured that the cpio may have had a problem. However, upon further inspection of the advisory, it seemed completely unrelated. On the most recent occurance of the load spike, I ran "up2date -l" and found that there were no updates available. However, immediately following the execution of the command, the load returned to the normal value. I am waiting to see if it works a third time. Until then, has anyone else experienced this? What could be raising the system load so high, and how does up2date fix the problem?

Please Guide Me Message-ID: <0CCE5BBD30D51948AE4D1838AD9F95F6077CC9@ussam233.amer.corp.eds.com> Sunil, Are there any differences in the init.d scripts between the boxes? Are you calling out a run level script at boot up (i.e. rc3.d, chkconfig --list httpd)? Web1 is starting correctly and Web2 looks like it's spawning child processes off of the parent process. Are you calling 'apachectl' or 'httpd' to kick off the daemons? Verify that all the proper modules are compiled for apache: apachectl -l Is there information useful in your /var/log/boot.log, messages or /var/log/httpd/*? Also check root's mail and look through the "LogWatch" for any discrepancies. I would also look at system differences between the boxes, like the httpd.conf files, version differences with the rpm's, things like that. Good Luck!!! --Mike.

Are the entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group the same for the user/group apache? When you installed apache did you use the default install from the OS, install from rpm, or install source and compile?...on both boxes. Run the 'apachectl -t' or 'apachectl configtest' command to verify the syntax of your config files are correct. Modify your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and change the 'LogLevel' to Debug to capture errors to the error log, then stop and restart your daemons. I would then parse the log for info.

It will get an error the next time it tries to check in and will need to be registered again in order to get updates again. That has been my experience anyway. This assumes that you intend to delete the machine's profile and not just delete it from your group. That part isn't quite clear to me from what you've said above.

OK. I am coming late to this party sorry. I just noticed the long string of discussion. I see Cliff has been involved. :) The PRIVATE key goes nowhere and is irrelevent until you generate more SSL key sets. "Connection refused" tells me the client can't talk to the RHN Proxy. You may want to ensure that client is communicating to the RHN Proxy Server and not our hosted environment. Check /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and, if this client is an RHEL 2.1 box, check /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register as well. The connecting server URLs must be pointing to the RHN Proxy and the CA SSL public certificate (the TRUSTED cert) setting needs to be set to the appropriate file location. Also... when testing up2date against an RHN Proxy, tail -f these two files: tail -f /var/log/rhn/rhn_proxy_broker.log tail -f /var/log/rhn/rhn_proxy_redirect.log On the way in, the HTTP request will cause the rhn_proxy_broker.log to roll with output, and on the way out (the request is on it's way to Red Hat or your satellite if applicable), rhn_proxy_redirect.log will begin to roll with output. You may also consider tailing: tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log and tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log -- ____________ /odd Warner Geek Herder - QA/Sust-Eng/Rel-Eng/Docs/Ops - Red Hat Network ---------------------gpg info in the message headers-------------------- "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." -Pres.

When you change or install server-side SSL key-sets, apache (which is at the core of RHN Proxy) needs to be bounced in order to use the new key set.

Everything builds fine etc., but when I do a test install of the package I get the following errors: [root at michelangelo i386]# rpm -ivh --test grass-6.0.0-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libgrass_D.so is needed by grass-6.0.0-1.i386 libgrass_I.so is needed by grass-6.0.0-1.i386 libgrass_Iortho.so is needed by grass-6.0.0-1.i386 .....

So, what the hell have I done wrong? I suspect something isn't set right in the attached "spec" file, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what. Are there any good references out there that people recommend for RPM? The one at http://www.redhat.com/docs/books/max-rpm/index.html is 5 years old... Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

One thing you'll want to make sure, is that you aren't listing Requires and BuildRequires that RPM figures out on it's own. It will just make things more confusing later when things change (I'd mostly be concerned about the libraries as RPM does a good job of including those automatically in the dependencies). If you are putting the libs in /usr/lib, you shouldn't need to run ldconfig, but you could just add /usr/local/... to the /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig and you wouldn't have to symlink things. You'll probably want to list the files in the %files section, right now you don't really have much there at all. Just some idea after a 30-second glance...

How do I do it? I created new file /etc/ske/.gnome-desktop/test -- modified version of Trash desktop entry-- and then created new user. this desktop file "test" appeared in .gnome-desktop in user's homedirectory. But when I logged in using X session the file disappeared from .gnome-dekstop; it therefore didn't appear on user's desktop. Gnome seems to be checking some parameters file to check if the user is logging in *first* time and then create new directories including .gnome-desktop... so the files I put in /etc/skel/.gnome-desktop disappear.... Can someone tell me how to create new shortcuts on user's desktop when a user is created! I am reading this manual that says use "preferences-all-users:///" in nautilus to modify it. But the error message is invalid location: http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.2/ch02s02.html I seem to be missing something. Any help? Thank you!!

So, try the "rhn_register" command at the command prompt. It will tell you that your system is already registered. Don't worry ! Answer "Yes" and carry on the operation.

This is the behavior that I desire. However, when I plug-in my 4-port USB flash memory card reader, hotplug - identifies the devices (all 4 of them after increasing max_scsi_luns) - creates the symlinks - updates /etc/fstab but does *NOT* change the ownership of the device from root to the console owner and as a result, the card reader is unmountable by non-root users. I need these devices to be mountable by non-root users. I've setup an automounter so that users can use the devices, but this still seems to be buggy behavior. And when the device is mounted through the automounter, it doesn't create a desktop icon to the device, which is a piece of functionality that I'd like to have.

So this is the solution is to go to the tab "channel" then the button "Manage Config Channels" and to delete all the old config channel - In order to do that, just click on one of the configuration, wait for the web detailed page then click on the button "delete config channel". Ok, that is the point however I beleive that we should have a mean in order to drop the channel configurations of the associated RH proxy when we are droping it. Thanks for reading.

When trying to upgrade to AS v.4 by booting to Main Installation screen and typing in "linux upgrade", I get a Call Trace error when it tries to start anaconda and the screen freezes. I get the same outcome when I do a fresh install. I used the same installation cd on another machine (RM) and anaconda started up fine. Looked at hardware compatablity page and the Dell Optiplex GX260 is not certified for v.4. It's not certified for v.3 either but it upgraded from 2.1 okay and runs fine. Is there anyone out there who has successfully installed AS v.4 on a Dell Optiplex GX260? Did you come across the same problem I did?

Many of us recompile our kernels for various reason, such as adding new desired features. As an example, the "stock" kernel does not allow Multiple LUN Support on its SCSI device, or clustering nodes for NCP. Thus we have to compile a new kernel to permit these. Though unsupported from the Developers, we still require this package.

If we had to re-install, is it feasible to install to the same partition structure without too much loss. At present there is only one application that differs form the original build and this can be archived prior to rebuild. Any help would be appreciated. "find .* -type d -exec chmod 6770 {} \;" was a little more effective than it should have been.

IANAL, so this is not "legal" advice... AFAIK Almost all of the security and software updates are GPL'd. There are a smattering of packages that have other open source licenses (like mozilla, BSD, Apache, etc). And there are a few packages (just a few) which are not "free" (as in beer or in speech) like the IBM Java stuff. RHN has a EULA which stipulates that as a user of their service you will not use it to garner packages for use on more than the number of RHEL systems you have licenses for (or something to that effect). You can get all the source RPM's for free from RedHat's Public FTP site. And there is no EULA for accessing this FTP site. So feel free to use the SRPM's from this FTP site. There are many packages in RHEL which are the same (bit for bit) as what is available in Fedora and/or other versions of RedHat derived linux distro's. REPEAT, I AM NOT A LAWYER.

However, it should not be present in the RH version you are running. The hooks should be there to create a file larger than 2Gb, but whatever application you are using must take advantage of those hooks.

I'm attempting to build the drivers that were released on 3/11 as version 1.0-7167, although I've gotten virtually identical "bad" results when using earlier versions. At the end I've included a lot of the output from an nvidia-installer log. I've cut out a lot of redundant info and added a few comments with leading "#### " strings. Sorry for the length despite my editing. OS is RHEL 3, WS version Update 2 for x86_64 processors System is dual EM64T capable Xeons in a Dell 670n workstation Graphics card is a Quadro FX 3400. Because the installer does not find a precompiled driver for my system I run the installer with options to point it to the source code tree for my OS and kernel (2.4.21-15.EL x86_64). Thinking there might be something wrong with the kernel source tree, I've deleted the rpm's and reinstalled them but still get the same nvidia-installer errors and a bad driver module. When I run the installer it produces the nvidia.o module, but upon installing it into the kernel there are tons of unresolved references.

We may be unusual in size, I'm really not sure. Currently we have around 650 systems registered, around 350 rhn-accounts/users, and around 400 system groups and activation keys. Anyone else out there in this ballpark? There are several issues I encounter using RHN now and I expect them to only get worse as the size of our userbase continues to grow. Just logging in takes forever. Some screens, like the activation key screens, have no method I see for getting around aside from moving ever so slowly from one page full of keys to the next until you finally find the one you are looking for. Creating a new user account is exceedingly painful and a waste of valuable time as we create the account, create a system group and activation key for the new account, make the new account an admin for the new system group, and make the key drop new systems into the new group. I don't know how exactly this might be improved. One obvious thing would be to add an index across the top of every page that has multiple screens of information. There is one now for systems groups, but not for activation keys. Another option would be to allow me to display more than 50 at a time on one screen (letting me display them all on one screen would be helpful too). A command line way to do some tasks would be very helpful. If I could create accounts, groups, and keys from a command line interface that would same me a lot of wasted time. Anyway, I'm curious if others out there are similarly frustrated or perhaps have ways around some of these issues?

It appears I'm running an SMP version of the kernel (that's correct, I should be) but my kernel-source rpm is not for the SMP kernel. Thus the nvidia driver is expecting kernel syms to be R when they really are Rsmp_. On redhat network I've searched for kernel-smp and when I pull down the source rpm it is the same I'm using (supplied by Dell).

It's very new and I suspect spotty, as upstream has released a newer version than what RHEL4 has which has SSL updates. If you go this route, please call support and ask for a version bump in the next available Quarterly Update (at this point, probably Update2) Me personally, I'm using ProFTP with SSL as it seems a bit more robust and stable at the moment. You need to manually download and build this, though ProFTPD's sources include a *very* nice specfile to build packages with.
