[CentOS] firewalld / iptables / nftables

[Leon Fauster via CentOS]

Despite that the migration of our applications comes with a significant 
workload. It seems that also every aspect of common services had changed 
with EL8.


In EL8 firewalld uses nftables as backend. I wonder why iptables does 
not list any rules while also configured to use nftables as backend.


# iptables -V
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables)


# firewall-cmd --list-all |egrep -o '22|ssh'
ssh

# nft list ruleset | egrep -o '22|ssh'
ssh

# iptables -L -n | egrep -o '22|ssh'


Any hints?

'iptables' and 'nftables' are competing technologies.  In CentOS 8,
firewalld's backend was switched from iptables to nftables.  So it
would be expected that the iptables command wouldn't have any rules
defined, it isn't being used by firewalld.

Maybe it's only defined to work for ipv6? Shouldn't there be 2 entries for
ssh?

That is partially incorrect.  While iptables and nftables are two
different in-kernel firewalls, the iptables CLI command is now a wrapper
that can translate to the nftables backend for compatibility.

However, it can only manage a subset of nftables information (basically
what it can create in the iptables back-compat mode).  The nftables
rules created by firewalld don't fall into that category, so can't be
viewed by iptables.

Instead, use the nft command, like "nft list ruleset" to see a dump of
all current rules.

This sounds reasonable albeit it raises another question. How does the
netfilter workflow looks like when firewalld generated rules and 
iptables generated rules (coming from migration activities) are 
processed. How are both categories of rules interwoven? I assume taking

only the nftables path will be the cleanest and preferred one ... but
I can not avoid running some iptables tests.

[CentOS] Accounting package recommendations

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi,

I am looking for an offline accounting package recommendation, please.
I enjoyed using Xero accounting, but need something that's offline,
and where the data remains my property. Having used Quickbooks on
Windows in the past, I am looking for something similar.

Any recommendations?

[CentOS] Switching between keyboards in CentOS 7 using the MATE desktop

[H]

I switch between three keyboards, two western ones and Chinese Pinyin entry. I 
have fcitx installed to switch between Pinyin and standard entry and use the 
keyboard switching in MATE to switch between keyboards.

While I originally believed there was a bug in fcitx since switching between 
entry fields in firefox, chromium and thunderbird using the non-default 
keyboard always switched me back to the default keyboard, this even when 
hitting ENTER in a Chromium entryfield, I now believe the problem might lie in 
MATE or CentOS. There is no problem remembering whether a particular program is 
configured by me to use Pinyin input or not so that seems to work fine.

Can anyone else confirm this issue? Might it be a configuration issue on my 
end? By the way, I use CTRL-SHIFT+RIGHT-SHIFT to switch between keyboards.

Yeah, GNUCash is a good accounting tool. my wife uses it for our personal
fnances, investment accounts, etc.

however, it is a double-entry accounting system (like professional
accounts  use, whether electronic or on paper), and may require
you to commit some effort to learn the ins and outs thereof.

Another option is to go toi this site and type in what you're looking 
for? and then go through the results that shoiw up, there's even a way 
to get specific, where you can specify whether you want an app that runs 
on Windows MacOS or Linux!!

In the past (more than 10 years ago...) I had to work with Sql Ledger and
in its forum/mailing list often Quickbooks was cited.
I enjoyed it because of being GPL, using perl and PostgreSQL as a
background database.
It seems a still developed piece of software. Here the home page:
https://www.sql-ledger.com/
I don't know if it is too much for your needs. It offers also support in
case of need.
One useful page to compare accounting software functionalities offered
could be this one too:

Dear team
if i need to disable FIPS on Centos 7.6 , then setting fips=0 in kernel
parameter should be more then sufficient .
Why should we remove the dracut-fips package  and regenerate the
