I discovered that /etc/sssd/sssd.conf contains the line: simple_allow_users = $, initialuser Adding other users to this line allows them to log in. This is a very small deployment (8 users, 4 machines), so this addresses my immediate need, but clearly isn't really the solution. I'll dig into it some more when I have some leisure. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] can't login as subsequent FreeIPA users
When I set up a machine with CentOS 8, I used the "Enterprise Login" in the initial setup wizard to authenticate against my FreeIPA server. This worked fine, and I have no issues logging in with that initial user. However, I am unable to use GDM or the console to login as any *other* valid user from FreeIPA. From GDM I get something like "Sorry, that didn't work" and "Permission denied" on the console. I've verified that the credentials are correct, and that I am able to manually get a ticket via kinit for one of those other users from this machine. With CentOS 7, I didn't have to do any additional configuration in this regard after the initial wizard. Not sure whether this is a CentOS configuration issue or a FreeIPA one, but I figured I'd start here. I'm also not terribly familiar with FreeIPA, so I could be missing something obvious; but this worked without issue when the machine in question ran CentOS 7. Can somebody point me in the right direction? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] CentOS upgrade info
Jegadeesh Kumar jegasm...@yahoo.com writes: I wan to know the details steps about how to do OS upgrade? Say for an example currently i am using CentOS 6.2 and plan to upgrade that to 7. Please detail me the steps. I suggest you begin by reading the release notes for CentOS 7, which are at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 -- here is an excerpt: For the first time, there is a supported upgrade path from CentOS-6 to CentOS-7. This path is only supported from the latest version of CentOS-6 (being 6.6 at the time of writing) to the latest version of CentOS-7. For more information on the upgrade procedure please take a look at this page. The tools needed for this functionality are still being tested and will be released at a later time. If you can help with the testing, please see this CentOS-Devel mailing list thread and this wiki entry. So, upgrade to 6.6 first, and then use the upgrade procedure from Red Hat, if you're willing to help with testing. Or install 7 from scratch, of course. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] CentOS upgrade info
Jegadeesh Kumar jegasm...@yahoo.com writes: how to upgrade CentOS 6.6 from 6.2 I apologize if I'm doing you a disservice, but the fact that you're asking this makes me think you're not familiar with CentOS (or perhaps even Linux generally). Upgrading packages is fairly basic system functionality. You may want to spend some time reading documentation before you do anything else. A good deal of information is accessible on a CentOS system itself using the man and info commands. Additional documentation is available at http://wiki.centos.org/Documentation The answer to your specific question is found in the manual page for yum (man yum at a command line prompt), but yum can do a lot of things. Probably what you want is: # yum upgrade But depending on your needs and the packages installed on your machine, you may need a different yum command. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm sure the Centos team has done a yeoman's job getting Centos7
ready, and that the Redhat team has done marvels in creating rhel7,
but here's a little voice from a personal hobbyist user.
I'm not sure why you're voicing these here. Since CentOS matches RHEL
bug-for-bug, you'd stand a better chance of getting your voice heard by
talking to Red Hat.
If someone has some elegant solution, I'd love to try, but Centos7 is
still unusable for me.
Define unusable. Clearly it's objectively untrue that it's unusable
because many people are in fact using it.
1: Firewall changes
The change in firewall technology forced a complete re-do of my
scripts which maintain firewalls, respond to attacks, etc. I think
I've programmed my way around the issues, but it wasn't easy.
So...you've already done the work to adapt your current setup.
2: Apache changes
These were subtle, but again were solved.
Not sure what you're referring to here, but again, you've already done
the work.
3: Service - systemd
The change from object-oriented view of service: (service httpd
restart) to function-oriented (systemctl restart firewall) seems to be
unnecessary, and counter to the way stuff is generally done in the
modern world. Nonetheless, it was possible to solve that with some
adaptive script programming.
systemd, like it or not, appears to be the current future of Linux, with
essentially every distribution adopting it. I can't say I'm a huge fan
of this trend, but it is what it is. And again, you've already done the
work.
4) Something with Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'
I don't know what to do with this. I constantly get the diagnostic:
[/usr/lib/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service:32] Unknown lvalue
ControlGroup' in section 'Service'
and attempts to browse the internet for solutions come across
barriers that require some paid subscription to view. This is
currently a progress-stopper. The messages I see deal with boinc,
which does not show up on my system using rpm -qa | grep -i boinc.
A quick glance at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=86
makes this look to be primarily a logging issue. Obviously it should
get fixed, since it's a bug, but I don't understand why this is a
progress-stopper. Or am I misreading?
5) Sendmail is out, postfix is in.
This is a huge change, since I had lots of scripts that tailored the
Sendmail system for spam protection, dealing with SmartHosts that
required SMTP-AUTH and others required weird configurations, etc.
Whether this is working yet I don't quite know, but it seems the
scripts can accommodate the change.
# yum install sendmail{,-cf,-doc}
6) Installation
I have no idea why, when using the net-install, one must explicitly
turn on the network. It seems unnecessary.
That's a fair point, but presumably one Red Hat would have to answer.
7) Lack of 32-bit support
I think I understand this. After all, 32-bit machines may become
unusable when the clock overflows, but isn't that a few years away,
and couldn't some solution be found, even if kludgy? Some of the
32-bit hardware was of very high quality, and still runs perfectly.
I'd hate to spend a few hundred dollars each to replace all those
systems.
As far as I know, there's no solution to be found. The 32-bit address
space is just too small. Wikipedia says that 64-bit processors have
been around since 1961, though for most uses (i.e., Intel/AMD) they only
became practical starting in 2003, which is still over a decade ago.
Practically speaking, at some point you'll inevitably have to replace
those systems anyway. Wouldn't you rather do it on a planned schedule
than as disaster recovery when something fails? When doing so, you
might as well go to 64-bit.
8) And more
Don't know what this means.
I haven't got a server or desktop running to my satisfaction yet, so I
don't yet know what pitfalls await. Any advice would be appreciated.
My advice is to read the documentation.
