Re: [CentOS] bash - safely pass untrusted strings?
On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 11:16:27PM -0600, Les Mikesell alleged: Yes, but I'm looking for what happens before and after. Why does unset foo foo=bar $foo This is interesting. I would have guessed a syntax error. I was surprised when it worked. This is a special case because there isn't a command being executed. I can't find this syntax in the manpage but it is behaving like two different expressions because the variable is getting set in the _current_ shell: $ unset foo $ foo=bar $foo $ echo $foo bar So it syntactical equivalent with: foo=bar; $foo In the end, I think this may be a parsing bug. do something you might expect, but unset foo foo=bar echo $foo $foo doesn't? Or why doesn't unset foo foo=bar echo $foo work like you'd expect while unset foo foo=bar some_other_command will put foo in the environment for the other command? These examples do make sense to me. They put foo in the env of the commands (meaning, inside of the child process), but the string has already been interpreted before execution. some_other_command is free to use $foo internally, but its args will be interpreted by the _current_ shell. Looking at the second example, the first thing we see is variable replacement turning it into 'foo=bar echo'; which then executes as you'd expect. Also, I think these examples are a bit forced because it's not how you would do it. The point of supplying the env is for the use of child processes. 'echo' is a shell-builtin. The correct way is: (foo=bar; echo $foo) Or a less likely: foo=bar eval echo \$foo Quotes are obeyed the entire time, but are actually _removed_ after the expansion. And finally, file descriptors are opened the command is executed. And how does this relate to ||, and things on the right hand side of |'s in terms of evaluation order and side effects? The boolean operators are not part of the expressions. They are looked at first to divide the string into expressions. I don't think you can write a simple list because the actual process is too complex. It would really be a tree or flowchart. I'm sure I saw a simple list of the order of operations for the bourne shell years ago with about 6 steps and which are repeated if you add an eval to the line. Bash handles some more complex expressions, but it must still do the steps in the same order to be compatible. You really need to know this to do anything even slightly complicated and I'm having trouble finding it again. Well, let us know if you find it :) -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Seems to me that it's a bad idea to use NFS as a mail store. For example, the RedHat documentation specifically recommends strongly *against* it. Very flatly: /me shrugs. Pick your poison. Besides, Redhat is not the absolute authority on how to run a mail system. Never put the mail spool directory, /var/spool/mail/, on an NFS shared volume. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/security-guide/s1-server-mail.html Also, NFS has various locking problems which prevent its use in a proper mail cluster. Read up on sendmail's mbox vs qmail's maildir for more details. Not suggesting that you switch to qmail, with it's recompile the whole [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing every time you change a config option mentality, but it's useful information nonetheless, especially when you get into having multiple mail receipt hosts. procmail, postfix local, maildrop all support maildir. qmail is not even necessary. Or is this your excuse to do a bit of qmail bashing? The additional complexity of NFS is what seems to have caused this gentleman's problem - not only did sendmail itself have to work properly, so did NFS, DNS, and the spam filter. Yawn. postfix + mysql + courier-authlib + cyrus-sasl + vpopmail + spamassassin + clamav + maildrop. How to avoid it? Either: 1) Reduce complexity. (get rid of the need for DNS, NFS, etc. or What is your proposal for getting rid of DNS? I, for one, would like to see how you intend to make email work without dns. 2) Beef up the various pieces so they don't fail - make sure you are using high quality servers and equipment, or 3) Increase redundancy, so that no single point of failure exists. Why is he depending on a single DNS server? Why is he using NFS, with it's implicit single-point-of-failure rather than GlusterFS, which provides multiple-primary-host redundancy and automatic failover? http://www.gluster.org/ I do not know the answer to that one hotshot.

C5 would just die, as there is not one. (c4 too) OK! Thanks Johnny. You just confirmed a bug here. Now I will, as time allows, see if I can discover why /etc/rpm/platform is incorrect. Since the file is in an rpm directory, shall I look at rpm? I promise *not* to begin another thread like this one! I'm a nice guy, really! This file (/etc/rpm/platform) is created by anaconda on install and is NOT owned by RPM or any other package. It is USED by rpm to determine your real arch where there are possibly multiple arches (based on your processor type). I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can coexist with each other in an i386 distro install, however you can not install an i386 package and another i[4,5,6]86 package with the same Name and Epoch-Version-Release (EVR) at the same time. On Red Hat based distros, /etc/rpm/platform is used to define the main arch where more than one (based on the processor) could be main. Also I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can exist in an x86_64 arch install and I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can exist in an ia64 arch install. These (x86_64 and ia64) are 64bit/32bit library (aka multilib) arches. They can have lib64 and lib directories and have both an i[3,4,5,6]86 package and an x86_64 (or ia64) package installed that have the same Name and EVR. Other examples of 32bit/64bit (multilib) arches are s390 and s390x, ppc and ppc64, and finally sparc and sparc64. In each of these you can have a 32bit (lib) and a 64bit (lib64) package of the same Name and EVR installed at the same time. So, on x86_64, you CAN have glibc.x86_64 and glibc.i686. On sparc, you CAN have glibc.sparc and glibc.sparc64 .. but on i386 you CAN NOT have glibc.i386 and glibc.i686. I can think of nothing that will (or should) change that file (/etc/rpm/platform) except running anaconda (the installer from a CentOS CD / DVD). If something does modify that file it is definitely a bug. Well, if you are BUILDING files with rpmbuild then sometimes on some of the multilib arches you might want to change /etc/rpm/platform to get specific results ... but that would be a controlled process and I know of no packages that do it automatically. Some of the links by Ross seem to indicate that unixODBC-devel might impact /etc/rpm/platform ... however the version i386 version in centos-5 does not seem to as I have installed it several times for testing and it did not change my /etc/rpm/platform. I have looked at several i386 machines, and all of them have an /etc/rpm/platform that is created on the install date, none of them have a file that has been modified. If we can nail down something that changed /etc/rpm/platform it would be good, as that file should never change.

I'm not a big fan of Redhat's version of Xen and use the Xen 3.2 packages from xen.org as it has better management features through 'xm'. You will need to compile your own for 64-bit though as they only provide 32-bit binaries by default and if you want to run Xen as a hosting server you really must use 64-bit, but thankfully they provide the SRPM for it which makes that trivial. As far as VMware goes. It works exactly as it does on Redhat Enterprise Linux, so if you go over to the VMware forums and search RHEL, those comments should apply equally well to CentOS. -Ross - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org Sent: Wed Feb 27 07:12:04 2008 Subject: [CentOS] Xen or VMWARE on CentOS 5 Does anyone out there have a comprehensive tutorial on installing VMware and successfully managing virtual machines with either xen or vmware? __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

VMware is pretty simple: download the server rpm, install it, run the vmware-config.pl setup script to set the options and install your (free) license key. Then run vmware locally or from some other machine to access the console where you can create and start the virtual machines. Once created, you can treat the virtual machines like they were separate physical boxes except that they contend for host resources (and once they are up on the network I prefer to connect directly to them with ssh, X, freenx, or vnc instead of using the VMware console. You'll want plenty of RAM on the host machine and if you run several VM's they will perform better if you can spread them over different disk drives. With VMware you can copy your disk images over to a Windows or Mac host and run them with no changes (Mac version isn't free, though). -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Now I will, as time allows, see if I can discover why /etc/rpm/platform is incorrect. Since the file is in an rpm directory, shall I look at rpm? I promise *not* to begin another thread like this one! I'm a nice guy, really! This file (/etc/rpm/platform) is created by anaconda on install and is NOT owned by RPM or any other package. It is USED by rpm to determine your real arch where there are possibly multiple arches (based on your processor type). I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can coexist with each other in an i386 distro install, however you can not install an i386 package and another i[4,5,6]86 package with the same Name and Epoch-Version-Release (EVR) at the same time. On Red Hat based distros, /etc/rpm/platform is used to define the main arch where more than one (based on the processor) could be main. Also I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can exist in an x86_64 arch install and I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can exist in an ia64 arch install. These (x86_64 and ia64) are 64bit/32bit library (aka multilib) arches. They can have lib64 and lib directories and have both an i[3,4,5,6]86 package and an x86_64 (or ia64) package installed that have the same Name and EVR. Other examples of 32bit/64bit (multilib) arches are s390 and s390x, ppc and ppc64, and finally sparc and sparc64. In each of these you can have a 32bit (lib) and a 64bit (lib64) package of the same Name and EVR installed at the same time. So, on x86_64, you CAN have glibc.x86_64 and glibc.i686. On sparc, you CAN have glibc.sparc and glibc.sparc64 .. but on i386 you CAN NOT have glibc.i386 and glibc.i686. I can think of nothing that will (or should) change that file (/etc/rpm/platform) except running anaconda (the installer from a CentOS CD / DVD). If something does modify that file it is definitely a bug. Well, if you are BUILDING files with rpmbuild then sometimes on some of the multilib arches you might want to change /etc/rpm/platform to get specific results ... but that would be a controlled process and I know of no packages that do it automatically. Some of the links by Ross seem to indicate that unixODBC-devel might impact /etc/rpm/platform ... however the version i386 version in centos-5 does not seem to as I have installed it several times for testing and it did not change my /etc/rpm/platform. I have looked at several i386 machines, and all of them have an /etc/rpm/platform that is created on the install date, none of them have a file that has been modified. If we can nail down something that changed /etc/rpm/platform it would be good, as that file should never change. Thanks again Johnny for the info.

[CentOS] Re: NFSroot is acting strange in CentOS5
on 2/26/2008 5:31 PM vincenzo romero spake the following: Hello all, I have observed a problem with a diskless PXE client I am attempting to configure. PXE/NFS/DHCP/TFTPd server is running CentOS5.1 and the Diskless workstation's root and kernel was extracted from a CentOS5.1 (custom kernel due to setting to enable Root File System support). Problem: When the diskless client boots and logs in I notice that my root user is being squashed, even if I have exported the root with the no_root_squash option. The exports file contains this line: /export/images *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) 1. Creating a file as root gives it nobody permission: rw-r--r-- 1 65534 655340 Feb 26 16:30 foo 2. When I explicitly mount the same export from the booted workstation and create another file; this time, it is created as root: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 26 16:31 bar 3. I checked the /proc/mounts and notice there are differences in the NFS options it has accepted during mount: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / nfs rw,vers=2,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,nolock,proto=udp,timeo=11,retrans=2,sec=null,addr=192.16.10.5 0 0 192.16.10.5:/tftpboot /mnt/test nfs rw,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=192.168.16.5 0 0 4. I try to append NFS options to my APPEND line to force: NFS version3, change r/wsize, use tcp protocol and change the sec from null to sys (null seems to be the parameter that affects the NFS ownership/permission).

Now I will, as time allows, see if I can discover why /etc/rpm/platform is incorrect. Since the file is in an rpm directory, shall I look at rpm? I promise *not* to begin another thread like this one! I'm a nice guy, really! This file (/etc/rpm/platform) is created by anaconda on install and is NOT owned by RPM or any other package. It is USED by rpm to determine your real arch where there are possibly multiple arches (based on your processor type). I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can coexist with each other in an i386 distro install, however you can not install an i386 package and another i[4,5,6]86 package with the same Name and Epoch-Version-Release (EVR) at the same time. On Red Hat based distros, /etc/rpm/platform is used to define the main arch where more than one (based on the processor) could be main. Also I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can exist in an x86_64 arch install and I[3,4,5,6]86 packages can exist in an ia64 arch install. These (x86_64 and ia64) are 64bit/32bit library (aka multilib) arches. They can have lib64 and lib directories and have both an i[3,4,5,6]86 package and an x86_64 (or ia64) package installed that have the same Name and EVR. Other examples of 32bit/64bit (multilib) arches are s390 and s390x, ppc and ppc64, and finally sparc and sparc64. In each of these you can have a 32bit (lib) and a 64bit (lib64) package of the same Name and EVR installed at the same time. So, on x86_64, you CAN have glibc.x86_64 and glibc.i686. On sparc, you CAN have glibc.sparc and glibc.sparc64 .. but on i386 you CAN NOT have glibc.i386 and glibc.i686. I can think of nothing that will (or should) change that file (/etc/rpm/platform) except running anaconda (the installer from a CentOS CD / DVD). If something does modify that file it is definitely a bug. Well, if you are BUILDING files with rpmbuild then sometimes on some of the multilib arches you might want to change /etc/rpm/platform to get specific results ... but that would be a controlled process and I know of no packages that do it automatically. Some of the links by Ross seem to indicate that unixODBC-devel might impact /etc/rpm/platform ... however the version i386 version in centos-5 does not seem to as I have installed it several times for testing and it did not change my /etc/rpm/platform. I have looked at several i386 machines, and all of them have an /etc/rpm/platform that is created on the install date, none of them have a file that has been modified. If we can nail down something that changed /etc/rpm/platform it would be good, as that file should never change. Thanks again Johnny for the info.

It acts like two statements when syntacticaly it is one. It think it is a bug. Avoid it. The tidbit that no one has pointed out yet is that redirections are not actually part of the command in the sense that you might think they are. These are all the same: $ foo echo bar $ echo foo bar $ echo bar foo The command is echo bar no matter where you put the redirection. Hence this: $ foo=bar and this: $ foo=bar $foo are exactly the same in so far as the execution of foo=bar is concerned; and foo=bar all by itself is the special construct that means assign foo in the current shell, so that's what happens. On the other hand $ foo=bar echo is syntax that means (as has previously been explained) assign foo in the process environment of echo so nothing happens in the current shell. The other tidbit (see the book link Les posted) is that assignments happen very early and redirections happen very late, in the order of evaluation. If you really want to warp your brain, try this one (not in your only login shell, though): $ 2$foo foo=yourOutputIsHere exec And stop thinking from left to right. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

RE: [CentOS] Networking problems with fresh install
I just did a fresh install of centos 5.0 from cd, followed by yum update which installed 399 packages. No failures or errors that I can see. I have three nics in the box, but am only setting up one at the moment. The box can ping others in my network, but if I try ssh, telnet, ftp, etc I see you have Xen on this box, boot into the normal Kernel and see what you get. My guess is it works. I have 5 boxes, that of which networking doesn't work on 3, always works on 1, and sometimes works on 1. I can install fresh and maybe it works, maybe it doesn't on that one :) I don't know if it's a Linux Bridge issue or a Xen specific issue. They all work well when not booted with the Xen Kernel. jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] smokeping on CentOS questions
I'm having some problems getting CentOS to serve up my Smokeping pages ( http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) However, I'm having problems getting the pages to serve up correctly. Here is a quick run down of what I've done. (1) wget and untar to /usr/local/smokeping (2) chown -R root:root /usr/local/smokeping (3) modifying to the following files to reflect my environment (not sure if all my steps here were good) /usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping /usr/local/smokepoing/htdocs/smokeping.cfg (4) ln -s /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs /var/www/html/smokeping When I go to www.mybox.com/smokeping, all I get is a list of files, not the webpage I would expect to get. What might I be doing wrong? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] MRTG question on CentOS
I'm trying to get MRTG up and running on CentOS, but the displayed http page says that I don't have permission to access /mrtg/ on the server.
