From akrherz at iastate.edu Fri Jul 6 21:36:19 2007 From: akrherz at iastate.edu (Daryl Herzmann) Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 16:36:19 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [rhn-users] RHN Housekeeping Message-ID: Hi, Just curious on a number of RHN hosted issues this fine Friday afternoon. 1) Still no RHN 5.0.1 release notes on the website? https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/help/release-notes/hosted/index.jsp Perhaps they are only going to be released via email now? https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhn-users/2007-May/msg00034.html 2) I'm getting duplicate "System Profile deleted" messages when deleting a system profile on RHN hosted. I filled a bz about this almost 3 months ago and the only action made on the ticket was to set OtherBugsDependingOnThis to bz entries I can't see :( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236604 3) RHN apidocs page contains a header bar and side bar that changes based on the last page you visited or the last phase of the moon. https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/apidoc/ We actually filed a Customer Service Request on it, but haven't heard anything back. I sort of wonder how this bug showed up, perhaps there was a silent code push on RHN hosted again :( 4) From the main system overview page, there is no link to the "Connection" page, but that link appears once you select something else in the bar. Another 3 month bug in NEW status and with links to other bugs I can't see :( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236045 The procedure to get these issues is very frustrating, it invariably goes like this: 1. Find bug in new release of RHN code 2. File bugzilla entry, don't get a response 3. File a Customer Service Request, get a lame response 4. Go on IRC to complain about #2 and #3, get helpful response 5. Wait on #2 or #3, watch bug get fixed with update to bugzilla, nothing sent to customer service request. 6. Go to email list to complain about the entire thing :) While these issues are rather small, it continues to be disappointing how long it takes to get them fixed. This is not what we expect from Open Source software, but again, RHN hosted is not open source. daryl From smal at ccmb.res.in Mon Jul 9 11:14:54 2007 From: smal at ccmb.res.in (Mahalingam Subramaniam) Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 16:44:54 +0530 (IST) Subject: [rhn-users] (no subject) Message-ID: <12184127.1183979694634.JavaMail.root@mailserver> Dear All how to protect the directories with passwords which should be aprt from the sytem's root password which means that even in the absence of sysadmin (the environment in which sys admin is supposed to leave the password while on leave) whoever logs in to the system should not be able to gain the access to the directories which are protected with different passwords.

Message-ID: <2DC6358FAE5D5F44A12DC5ABFDA8AC4D0143E0BF@s228130hz1ew24.apptix-01.savvis.net> I've been fiddling with the rhn api xmlrpc calls as (poorly) documented on my Satellite server and I've run into a problem I desperately need fixed. I can do things like list all software channels and list packages within a specific channel without any trouble, but what I *REALLY* need to do is large numbers (1k+) of package removals and additions to and from my custom software channels. When I try to invoke the "removePackages" method, I get the following error message from my script: Fault returned from XML RPC Server, fault code -1: Could not find method removePackages in class class com.redhat.rhn.frontend.xmlrpc.channel.software.ChannelSoftwareHandler So what gives? According to the api doc, I'm making the right call here. For clarity, I'll paste some of the relevant perl code in my script: [-- begin code --] use strict; use Frontier::Client; my @ids=(list of package IDs to remove from channel); $rhnClient->call('channel.software.removePackages', $session, $channel_label, @ids); [-- end code --] (Cross-posted to rhn-satellite-users and rhn-users) -- James Puellmann From richa at firstlink.com Tue Jul 10 21:44:03 2007 From: richa at firstlink.com (Rich Archuleta) Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 15:44:03 -0600 Subject: [rhn-users] problems experienced with up2date References: <4692B91C.7060301@usask.ca><4693B225.1080300@usask.ca> <4693B85C.7080406@usask.ca> Message-ID: Alfred, Will you please explain to me what the results of that command mean and why the changes in these files are keeping me from using up2date?

Engineers review the bug/issue and determine if they agree to fix it. Developer fixes bug, waits for a QA push, QA tests, some time later moves to stage, then production release. This is not a quick process and RHN has not been one to ever fix and release quickly, but to release multiple fixes at the same time, along with some new feature (typically) - along with minor releases, which are more bugfix centric, such as 5.0.1. Not sure when/if 5.0.1 Release notes will be released. If you do not go through the support process, but open bugs directly, they can often be over looked, as the right tracking/flags were not set on the bug, and the developer who owns the bug will typically have so many bugs that the ones he will review to fix are only the ones aligned/tracked for the next release. This forces you into step #4, at which point someone sets the right flags. Since releases do have cut off dates for all but the most urgent of issues, as well as a limited capacity for how many bugs within a given time period can be fixed, bugs that was reported prior to a release, may not always get fixed in the next release. If though they are being tracked, then at least they will not be forgotten about.

All of the bugs I mentioned should have been caught by QA, it is poor to see the QA process then blamed for why small bug fixes can't be made in a timely fashion. > If you do not go through the support process, but open bugs directly, > they can often be over looked, as the right tracking/flags were not set > on the bug, and the developer who owns the bug will typically have so > many bugs that the ones he will review to fix are only the ones > aligned/tracked for the next release.

Again, the community here is in the dark, since redhat keeps so much of what RHN is and will be in releases a secret. Sorry to rant, but redhat won't announce releases of RHN code either, so what is the community to do other than sit and wait to see what breaks? daryl From JHZhang at mdanderson.org Thu Jul 12 18:31:56 2007 From: JHZhang at mdanderson.org (JHZhang at mdanderson.org) Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 13:31:56 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] Trying to update to glibc version higher than or equal to 2.3.4 Message-ID: I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3.

Perform and upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL4 using the install CD's, see what breaks and what can be fixed. Take another image of your newly upgraded system. Re-deploy your old image back onto the server so everything is back to the way it was. If you have a like system, deploy that newly upgraded image onto that and see if you can work out any problems. Your other option would be to build a new RHEL4 server and slowly migrate your apps of the old server.

I'm very new to RedHat Network so please bear with me if this is a question with a stunningly obvious answer. I successfully set up a subscription to a new EH4 server and began the process of applying all the needed errata updates. All was fine til it got to the errata RHSA-2005:092-14 (kernel security update). So far this has been in the status 'Activity Occuring' for nearly four hours - which I can't believe is right. I cancelled the remaining pending events and rebooted the server - all seems fine, but the Event History on RHN is still showing that RHSA-2005:092-14 is in the status 'Activity Occuring'. And it seems no other errata can be applied until this one completes (or is removed in some way). Please does anyone know how I can get rid of it? I guess I could delete the system from RHN and start again? I don't think it's a problem at the server end, but am open to any suggestions!

At least that is my impression of this bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240595 We filed a Service Request and HOTFIX request, but those didn't yield any relief nor updates on when this issue will be fixed. Is our only option to deploy our own yum server and manage our custom packages that way? Could anybody at redhat comment on when this will be fixed?

Hi everyone, Red Hat Network Hosted 5.02 was released to rhn.redhat.com last night. There is one known issue with this release: much of the documentation normally available at https://rhn.redhat.com/help/index.pxt returns 'Page Not Found' errors. We are working on this issue. In the meantime, you can refer to the following URL for Red Hat Network Hosted documentation: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/ (The docs at that URL are a bit older than those that were available from rhn.redhat.com, but we hope that they will be sufficient during the meantime that the documentation issue is worked out.) To see what has changed in this latest release, the release notes for RHN Hosted 5.02 are now available on our community site: https://wiki.108.redhat.com/wiki/index.php/Hosted502Documentation We hope you enjoy the improvements rolled out in 5.02 - thanks for using Red Hat Network. ~m _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users From redhat at scrunch.net Thu Jul 26 15:07:33 2007 From: redhat at scrunch.net (Bob - RedHat) Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 11:07:33 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] yum equivalents for up2date Message-ID: <46A8B8B5.509@scrunch.net> Now that up2date has been replaced with yum I need to know how to do the following: 1) Have a package skip list to exclude packages from automatic updating. With up2date it is handled with the --configure option and specifying a list like this: "pkgSkipList ['kernel*', 'httpd*', 'mysql*', 'php*']". How to do the same with yum? 2) For those packages skipped I download them manually at my leisure with up2date like this: up2date -fud. How to do the same with yum? 3) Lastly, when the time is right, I install and test the packages, with up2date like this: up2date -fui. How to do the same with yum?

If you connect to RHN and search for mod_jk in the Packages area, you will find mod_jk in the Red Hat Application Server channel. In RHEL 4, the RHAS channel was an add-on feature. We simply downloaded the package and installed it. I don't know if the RHAS channel is included with rhel5 or not.
