Nope. for dirs, 'w' means "you can create and delete files" (because creating 
and deleting files means inserting and removing entries in the dir), "r" means 
"you can list the dir" (which makes sense, since what 'ls' does is reading the 
dir entries. 'x' means "you can cd into the directory)

[CentOS] Trigger after yum update

2010-07-21 Thread przemolicc
Hello,

we have installed non-repository based software on our centos servers (e.g. 
vmware tools).
Each time we do 'yum update' we have to run several scripts to check if these 
software
works after update.
Sometimes we forget ...
It it possible to configure any sort of triggers which will
run automatically after 'yum update' ?
I'd like to avoid writing shell wrappers for yum and looking for yum-way

Re: [CentOS] directory permissions set to 600?

2010-07-21 Thread Ski Dawg
Thank you to everyone for the replies. The system(s) in question is a
CentOS 5.5 server(s) (both development and production). The directory
in question, in this case, is a firewall program (and monitor) to
assist us with ip tables. I am also asking the developers of this
product, as to why the directory is 600 and not 700.

I did some more testing, and if the directory is owned by root, and
the permissions are either 0600 or 0700 only root can cd into it or
even do an ls (or ls -l) on it and see the contents.

If the directory is owned by a non-privileged user, and the directory
is 0600, then that user can do an ls on the directory (ls dir/) and
see the files. When that same user does an ls -l on the directory (ls
-l dir/), it will show the files, but not attributes of the files.
This same non-privileged user is not allowed to cd into the directory
either. If the directory is 0700, then the non-privileged user that is
the owner (and root) can cd into it, as well as do a ls -l to see the
file attributes.

OK, my question from all of this is what is the difference between
0600 and 0700 for a directory that is owned by root? I see the
difference for a directory owned by a non-privileged user, but if root
is the owner, then only root can do anything with it, or see anything
in it, and root will ignore the fact that the execute bit is not set
for the owner. So what is the benefit of making a root owned directory
0600 instead of 0700?

[CentOS] Fsck on mdraid array

2010-07-21 Thread Jussi Hirvi
Something seems to be wrong with my file systems, and I want to fsck 
everything. But I cannot.

The setup consists of 2 hds, carrying 3 raid1 (ext3) file systems (boot, 
/, swap). OS is up-to-date CentOS 5.

So I boot from CentOS 5.3 dvd in rescue mode, do not mount the file 
systems, and try to run
fsck -y /dev/md0
fsck -y /dev/md1
fsck -y /dev/md2

For each try I get an error message: "Superblock could not be found..." 
"The device does not seem to contain a valid ext2 filesystem..."

Well, of course not, the filesystem is ext3, not ext2.

I also tried fsck.ext3, but the error messages stay the same.

So, how could I fsck these arrays?

How about using RPM's %triggerin scriptlet?

http://www.rpm.org/api/4.4.2.2/triggers.html
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-rpm2/

For example, you could create a dummy rpm package containing a 
%triggerin scriptlet to run your scripts in the event that package foo 
gets installed/updated.

Lets take vmware as an example (although it's probably not a very good 
example). I assume you need to run vmware-config.pl after each kernel 
update and you sometime forget to do that. You could build and install a 
dummy package that contains a %triggerin scriptlet that triggers on 
installation of the package kernel. In an ideal world the %triggerin 
scriptlet would simply run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl, but as that script 
requires user interaction, you'd probably have to call it with the 
--default flag to provide the default answers to all questions. 
Alternatively, you might decide not to run the vmware-config.pl script 
automatically but rather send an email to root or something else to 
remind you to run it.

Is that the type of solution you're looking for?

ext2 is the base of the journaling ext3 FS.

I  would suggest you use TestDisk
 and see if you can recover
your filesystem.
The tool is powerful.  I have been able to recover disk partitions and
the filesystems within when all other tools reported "no disk
partition" on the HDD.

Good luck.

Re: [CentOS] disabling touchpad in CentOS 5.5

2010-07-21 Thread Brunner, Brian T.

A plastic square/rectangle amounting to a large "credit card" for
thickness and resilience, placed over the mouse pad and buttons,  will
keep your hands/palms from moving or clicking your touchpad/mouse while
you're typing.  Said sheet can be removed as many times, and as often,
as needed to use the touchpad itself.  This is faster than removing and
re-installing the pad driver.

Are you using lvm on top of the mdraid?

If so you need to fsck the lvs not the mds.

For a directory, no difference aside from a command like 'find' explicitly
testing permission bits.  The mode could just as well be .

For an ordinary file, there would be a difference.  For root to execute
a file, at least one of the three execute permission bits must be set.

Have you considered an NFS cluster based on pacemaker/openais/corosync?
See .  One possible config is an active/passive
cluster using NFS on top of DRBD.  I've never clustered samba, but it
looks like others have done it:


Google will show you various problems with active/active clusters related to
both GFS2 and samba.  Don't try to have your NFS servers also be NFS
clients.

For reasonable security/authentication, you'd probably want to integrate
with kerberos.

Re: [CentOS] DSL battling rojter - help!

2010-07-21 Thread Mark
[SOLVED]

At least for the most part - the immediate solution was to set my
CentOS box to a static IP address and then connect it directly to the
modem.

Once that worked, I moved my machine's connection back to the router,
but since the router's WAN connection settings don't seem to work (at
all), I just plugged the modem and the Windows box into the router's
LAN ports.  Once I gave the Windows box it's own static IP address as
well, both machines seem to be happy and can access the web through
the router-acting-as-a-switch.

Many thanks to JohnS for pointing and then guiding me in the right direction.

  I would suggest you start checking back through the changelogs between

that may have caused your issue and then rebuild a testing kernel with
that patch reverted. If that testing kernel fixes your issue then you've
identified the issue and can file a bug report upstream.

To start you on your way, this patch looks like a likely candidate for
you to investigate further:

* Mon Dec 21 2009 Jarod Wilson  [2.6.18-183.el5]
- [sound] alsa hda driver update for rhel5.5 (Jaroslav Kysela) [525390]



Rob,

I understand you have already tried a workaround reported in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586532
  
  
correct, I've had to use this on a number of nvidia based machines
already (unfortunately).
In this instance it was no help - not surprising as it is not an nvidia
controller but intel chipset albeit with an nvidia graphics chip.
Before I bother Gary I'll try to revert to a default centos kernel
rather than the centosplus kernel just to be sure.
Will keep you posted.

I have installed the standard Centos 2.6.18-194.8.1 .el5 kernel on the
sony laptop and this fares no better - still no HDA-Intel sound card
showing even though the driver is loaded. 
On to plan B
I have started to setup an rpmbuild environment but need to read some
more instructions, as when I followed the wiki I got different results
- not sure if this is due to using the centosplus SRPM, as that is what
all my workstations use, or due to my error in following instructions.
When I tried the make oldconfig after copying the config file as
indicated I ended up having to respond to lots of option questions that
I have no idea about, thus I'm likely to select an option that causes
problems.
I thought make oldconfig was a process to dump out the current config
settings so they could be used as a template for the new
build..confused.
more reading coming my way.

  
According to comment #10 in there, Gary Gatling built a test kernel
with the above alsa patch removed. You might want to try asking him
for the kernel he built if you do not feel like building it yourself.

Because you are starting with a centosplus kernel and cplus kernels
are already customized, you do not have to go through the
customization part of the wiki instruction.  In your case, all you
have to do it to remove one patch.

I see the patch to be removed is this one:

Patch24883: linux-2.6-sound-alsa-hda-driver-update-for-rhel5-5.patch

Therefore, look for the line:

%patch24883 -p1

and delete it (it is line 9753 in the current kernel). If you had
already modified the .spec file, I suggest you start fresh. The only
other change you would want to make is "buildid" to provide a unique
name for your new kernel.

Good luck!

For a directory, there's effectively no difference because the Linux 
kernel does lax security checking for the root user.  Root will be 
allowed to read and write files, and access directory contents 
regardless of the permissions indicated on the filesystem.
