[CentOS] Disabling the shutdown buttons in graphical login screen of CentOS 6.3
Hi, I am not sure if I probably have overlooked some important clue, but I am stuck with a problem with the gdm-greeter in CentOS 6.3 here since three days without finding any suitable solution. The problem: * I have to somehow deactivate the Suspend, Restart and Shutdown options in the login screen. * This has to be done in CLI mode, as I have to change this on many machines Tried out solutions: * As far as I could figure out gdm-simple-greeter would be the programm I'd have to tweak. But changing options in /etc/gdm/custom.conf does not change anything (as if this file would be ignored). * Another thing would be to set the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons option to true through gconftool-2. But this option also seems to be ignored. Several posts on the web point to this being a bug which is fixed in RHEL but not CentOS. * I also tried to limit access to all the poweroff, reboot and halt commands through pam.d so that only root would be allowed to shutdown. This did not work either. * I even tried to rename the /sbin/reboot command (and therefore deactivate all the different links pointing to it). Still clicking the buttons still lead to a shutdown (although at some point it got stuck, but the system was not reachable any more). Additional remarks: * I did also delete /etc/acpi/events/power.conf in order to disable the physical power button on the machine. At least that did work, but the problem still is that normal users can shutdown the machine through the gdm login screen. If anyone has any hints, I would be very glad. And sorry if I overlooked anything, but meanwhile I am getting a bit desperate. Looking through the web and different mailing lists and fora gave me the impression that there are still several people out there with this problem and no real solution is around. thanks, cheers, jackie -- Andrea*s Jackie Klaura University of Vienna Institute of Theoretical Chemistry Waehringerstr. 17 A-1090 Vienna, Austria tel: +43 (0)1 4277 52756 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] A workaround to dhclient problems
Summary: if you have C5 guests with dhclient bad udp checksum issues then this entry on the host will fix it: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill Detail: If anyone else is seeing this... Feb 11 19:22:11 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 11 19:22:56 mercury last message repeated 3 times Feb 11 19:23:12 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 11 19:23:12 mercury dhclient: 5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets Feb 11 19:23:20 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 11 19:23:51 mercury last message repeated 2 times Feb 11 19:24:09 mercury last message repeated 2 times Feb 11 19:24:09 mercury dhclient: 5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets The client eventually expires the lease and goes back to DISCOVER state and then gets an IP address. This only seems to happen with C5 (RH5?) guests on a KVM host. C6 guests don't have the problem. Googling also shows Debian with issues, and the problem may be in the ISC code base. The work-around is to add an iptables entry on the host: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill With this in place dhclient on C5 guests can happily renew their address Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.0.0.134 port 67 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: DHCPACK from 10.0.0.134 (xid=0x63be132a) Feb 12 00:02:02 mercury dhclient: bound to 10.0.0.135 -- renewal in 16918 seconds.

However, the only RBC 43 they offer, I might as well buy direct from APC, at well over $300 for the set. Battery Sharks, and Apex, don't do GSA... but they *do* offer replacements for about $100 for the set. Having checked with my manager, we'll try the open market quotes.

Re: [CentOS] mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdg: Device or resource busy
Hello all, Just for posterity's sake, I was able to resolve this issue, by stopping the array, reassembling it using --force, and removing the device from udev using the Fedora docs I referenced earlier. I don't know if there is a way to resolve it without stopping the array, but if I read anything on the raid list that might be relevant to CentOS users I will pass it on. --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Overdue upgrade of bind
I am **FINALLY** starting in on upgrading my domain server. Right now it is still on bind-9.3.6 via Centos 5.5. Stepping right up to 9.8.2 in Centos 6.3. I am pretty good with zone files and the like, though I will finally get to tackle DNSSEC (and I can go to the sources Austien, Vixie, and Liu if need be or even the bind list!), but right now I have much more mundane issues. Like it looks a bit like the chroot tree has changed! In particular under /var/named/chroot/etc I use to put my named.conf with all the include files. Now I see sub-directories named and pki there. I am ASSuMEing that pki will be for the DNSSEC; but where is the documentation? I tried looking for readme files, but can't find anything related to the chrooted bind environment. What file is the location of named.conf set up in? The zone files look to go in the same place I have them on the old server under /var/named/chroot/named/var/named. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Of course someone else might succeed in doing so, but even in that case, for how long can he/she keep up with backporting updates and so on? It would not be 'backporting' if you'd set up a build environment that uses a newer GCC and GTK2 library, and statically link against the newer GTK2. That's a bit of a pain for release engineering, but it's not rocket science. RHEL6/C6 (and Ubuntu 10.04) desktops are probably a tiny fraction of Google's user base, so they just may not want to expend the effort. Alternatively, one could do something tricky like make a special build of newer GTK2 libraries built with the newer GCC, and make Chrome load them in stead of the regular ones. Well, there are hobby users and there are real users. Google SHOULD understand the difference. Most businesses and large user deployments of a Linux desktop would be using things like CentOS, RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu LTS and not the bleeding edge distros with all the new versions of GTK. Don't get me wrong, I understand that there are a large number of people using the 6 month distros too ... BUT ... most enterprises I know of that use Linux on the desktop are not among them. Mozilla did figure that out and release their ESR version for these people because they understand that they do make up a significant portion of the people who actually get work done on Linux. Hopefully RH will be able to convince them to continue to provide some kind of support. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

To confuse you, RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a not the same as RedHat Linux (RH). CentOS follows RHEL. RHEL 2.1 was approximately RH7. RHEL3 ~= RH9. RHEL6 ~= Fedora 12.

Red Hat Linux was a bit less Enterprise oriented. If I recall, Red Hat 9 was out about the same time the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.x was out. That became known as RHEL for short. CentOS is a clone of RHEL. So, CentOS 6 is the latest from Redhat other than the Fedora project.
