[CentOS] Chicken and egg question: passwd and cronjob

[Fajar Priyanto]

Hi all,
Let's say I activate password expiration for every account (including
root) for every 90 days.
I understand that cronjob for root will fail when the password expires.

The question is, if I setup a cronjob every 90 days to renew the root
password like: echo diFficulT123 | passwd --stdin root
will it work?

I mean at second 1 on the 90th day, which will run first?
- The cronjob to renew the password
- Or the password expiration, thus preventing the cronjob from running.

Pardon me if it's silly.
I know it's bad to change password from script, but the root acc is
not used at all and has been disabled from logon remotely.
I just need it to keep various cronjob to keep running. Any other
advise are welcome.

[CentOS] OT: DHCP address pool for specific MAC manufacturer

[Raymond Lillard]

Dear CentOS,

This is somewhat off-topic, but I do hope to implement this on
a CentOS system, so here goes...

I would like to be able to setup a dhcpd (or like) daemon to
maintain two IP address pools.  One for devices whose leading
three octets of the client MAC address are specified and the
other for all other clients.  Both pools would be a defined
range on a commmon /24 subnet. There a several static IP
devices also on this net (servers, printer, etc...).  At no
time would there be more than a dozen of the specified MAC
range devices active.

I considered splitting the /24 block into two /25 blocks and
creating a shared-network with two subnets, but that still
leaves no way to wild-card the lower 3 octets, which I cannot
know in advance.

In addition to DHCP, I've looked at DNSmasq and a few others
but no joy.  I don't see a solution that doesn't require a
significant development effort.

I'm off to think about possible doing this in perl.  I still
hope someone has already done this.

Thanks,
Ray

Yes it's rotated annually.
That's why I can argue based on common sense, by comparing the CESA
date and the occurance in the log file.
But if there is year, I don't have to argue at all with the auditor.

[CentOS] Year in log files

[Fajar Priyanto]

Hi,
Can we display year in log files timestamp?
We are being audited and the auditor wants to know when we apply
certain patches.
yum.log shows it, but it doesn't have the year.
I can argue based on common sense, but it would be much nicer if the
year is there.

Get rid of the leading whitespace if it actually exists in that file.
It shouldn't make a difference, but who knows.

BTW, you don't need to reboot.

Try a trailing dot on the FQDN and see if it makes a difference.
It shouldn't with ping, but should always be used with dig:

   ping www.yahoo.com.

The trailing dot changes the lookup algorithm a bit.

You could also do a
RES_OPTIONS="debug"
export RES_OPTIONS
ping www.yahoo.com.
to try to figure things out.

As Les wrote in another branch of the thread, search clause is if you 
try name without a domain.

Anyway, try removing it, but first try using ONLY 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, 
remove 216.146.36.36 and then test.

The 'search' should only apply if you don't supply the domain portion of 
the name.  Each nameserver address should be queried until one responds.

The part that doesn't make sense yet is that your dns is working as 
shown by the dig/nslookup queries, but ping/wget are failing to look up 
the name.  You might get random success/failure if some of the 
nameservers in resolv.conf are misconfigured.  Seems like a long shot 
but try:
dig @server_address www.henrichs.org
for each of the namesever addresses, then maybe
strace ping www.henrichs.org
and wade through the output to see if it has trouble loading the 
resolver library or something.

That's the response from nslookup, not wget.


How is this server connected to the Internet?  Sounds like something is

"ping www.yahoo.com".   Just changed it to:   (1) 8.8.4.4   (2) 
216.146.36.36   (3) 8.8.8.8

Rebooted the box, then . . .

wget has *not* returned correct IP! Only nslookup and dig.

First try to use only google DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, and if 
that does not help, and your only problem is with only that domain, you 
will have to contact support where domain is parked, and see is that helps.

Only relevant info is in resolve.conf, there is no need to look at 
network configuration if you can ping IP's.

[CentOS] inconsistent DNS results - ping vs dig vs nslookup

[robert henrichs]

I am getting what I believe to be inconsistent replies/results from 
my CentOs machine, trying to ping URLs.  Pinging by URL fails the DNS 
lookup, while pinging the IP address (that should have been returned) 
works.  The DNS lookup also fails NSLOOKUP, but interestingly, dig 
and wget return A records with the correct IP.

Yup, I tried SIGHUP. That didn't fix it but restart did - I guess Samba is a
bit too much like windows ;-)

Following up my last post, I just looked at the smbd manpage - this may be
of interest, from the very *bottom* of the manpage:


SIGNALS

   Sending the smbd a SIGHUP will cause it to reload its smb.conf configu-

Did you fix cups, and not restart samba? If so, I'll be the info was

Look *closely* at your smb.conf file.  I'll bet it has something like
this:

# Cups Options let you pass the cups libs custom options, setting it to
raw
# for example will let you use drivers on your Windows clients
#
# Printcap Name let you specify an alternative printcap file
#
# You can choose a non default printing system using the Printing option

load printers = yes
cups options = raw

;   printcap name = /etc/printcap
#obtain list of printers automatically on SystemV
printcap name = cups
show add printer wizard = no
printing = cups

Note the line 'cups options = raw'.  This means that when you add a
printer via NETBIOS (adding a network printer from the Network
Neighborhood) and send a printout, it gets sent *directly* to the
printer and DOES NOT go through the CUPS (foomatic) filter.  This means
that the MS-Windows machine must have the MS-Windows printer driver for
the printer installed and must be using this driver.

For a *real* PostScript printer (eg almost all *Laser* printers
(typically all but bargin basement types)), picking the 'generic'
PostScript driver will work just fine (I have no real idea *why*
MS-Windows thinks you need to have umpteen *different* PostScript
drivers, one for each model of PostScript printer).

MS-Windows *supposedly* supports the ipp protocol.  If you manage to get
the MS-Windows box to use *that* protocol for the network printer, (eg
ipp://IP-address:631/...), then you *should* be able to use the
'generic' PostScript, even if the printer is your basic (cheap) inkjet
printer using the CUPS foomagic (Ghostscript) driver/filter.

I put together the cups PS driver (cupsps6.dll et.al.) and the postscript driver
from HP laserjet PS (pscript5.dll et.al.) as described in the CUPS HOWTO
then used cupsaddsmb to make it available to the workstations. This driver
installs automatically just fine when I connect to the printer share and
quite correctly produces a postscript file - unfortunately samba+CUPS
don't recognise the need to render it. I haven't got cups options = raw in
my smb.conf so it shouldn't bypass the CUPS filtering (I don't think)

Hmmm... maybe we're looking at this the wrong way: what is the setup on
the *Windows* side - what driver does that use?

That sets the printer up just fine in Linux. I can print to that fine
with Open Office.
The problem I have is that a generic PS driver in Windows to the SMB printer
outputs the raw PS script instead of rendering which is odd because the
CUPS test page is a postscript file.

And you say that, using localhost:631, you did add printer, then selected
make and model, and chose one of the drivers, and it still doesn't do the

Actually that's the opposite of what I want. I want to use the generic
postscript
driver in Windows and get the server to RIP for me.

you have to do the following:

In CUPS https://localhost:631/ setup your printers and set the printer
driver for each printer to local raw printer

In /etc/samba/smb.conf make sure you have the following settings

[main]
printing = cups

# printer share for your windows drivers
[print$]
comment = printer drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/somewhere
read only = yes
guest ok = no
write list = @somegroup, john

mkdir 
/var/lib/samba/somewhere/{COLOR,IA64,W32ALPHA,W32MIPS,W32PPC,W32X86,WIN40,x64}

# set permissions
chown -R john:somegroup /var/lib/samba/somewhere
chmod 775 /var/lib/samba/somewhere

or if you use ACL
setfacl --recursive -m g:somegroup:rwx /var/lib/samba/somewhere
etc.


Grant the SePrintOperatorPrivilege privilege

net rpc rights grant "" \
SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U /root


In windows open the print management tool and install the device drivers
there.

Both the KDE printer manager and the CUPS manager on :631 create
the same printer setup.

The GUI printer tool - is that from the o/s, or, from the server, did you
browse to  ? From the latter, you can add

[CentOS] CUPS not rendering documents via Samba

[Kevin Thorpe]

Hi guys, any CUPS / Samba experts out there?

The CUPS printing guide is a horrendous maze of options. I've got
nearly there but I've got
one thing wrong and I don't know where to look.

I set up our two printers (HP K5400s) using the GUI printer tool. Both
print the test page just fine.
I set up the [printers] and [print$] shares and can browse to the
printers from Windows (XP for me)
I managed to get the postscript drivers installed with cupsaddsmb and
it installs on the XP client just fine.

. sadly it just prints the postscript instead of rendering it. I
guess the printer queue is in raw mode
but I can't see where to change it. I vaguely remember foomatic and
such from ages back. Can someone
point me at the right part of the setup to fix this please?

Yes there is, but it does not provide (GLIBCXX_3.4.9), only up to 
(GLIBCXX_3.4.8). Closest (GLIBCXX_3.4.9) is for Fedora 10, little to far 
for my taste.
