I assume you added the yum repo after a line that looks like this:

And before a line that looks like this:
Also, I am trying to add a dist tag to rpms that I build in mock.
In the epel-7 configs I do something like the following:
config_opts['macros']['%dist'] = '.el7.tnt' to get a dist tag on the

If I run "mock --debug-config epel-8-x86_64"

does not have the el8.tnt tag in the name.

It seems that the OpenSUSE mock configs[1] use the same syntax. I wonder
if you need to invoke mock in a specific way to not override the macro?
Not that I have been able to tell. Setting the dist macro has always just
worked for me.
In looking at the centos-release.spec I found the following:
%define dist .el%{dist_release_version}
Apparently this overrides the dist tag set in mock. At least that explains why
the dist tag macro was working for me in el7 but not el8. Commenting out that

However, the question is whether it is really "That will become" or actually "That might become, if it turns out to be stable enough," I.e., to me the critical question is how often (in practice) will updates that have problems, and will not actually make it into RHEL, end up in CentOS Stream. Presumably all such updates will be superseded in Stream by corrected ones, before they're in RHEL. In fact, would it be possible, to list the final versions of each package's update at the moment of the RHEL release, and only do the CentOS Stream update based on that list? There is one source for the source code that will be used. While in stream it will iterative (the push a bunch of changes today .. the build those change today). Those go through a CI process and get released into stream. When it comes time to build rhel 8.4 it will come from the same source code. So if I understand this correctly, centos8 + will basically be a rolling release and we will never know what we are really running. Is this correct?

Link? the transition was not any more difficult, really, than moving from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8. That's not my experience. I keep several of my packages running on CentOS and Debian (and more) and I keep running into several common problems: 1. The package names are often different, and not always differing by an obvious translation rule. For instance, it's openldap-devel on CentOS but libldap2-dev on Debian, where the normal rule would make it libopenldap-dev. Why the difference? Dunno, but I have to track such things down when setting up scripts that do cross-distro builds. If I automate that translation, now I'm setting myself up for a future breakage when the package names change again. (libldap3-dev?) Yep!! It is a pita when trying to get things running for the first time. I started this journey on a couple samba DC's before the Red Hat announcement. Libraries are almost always different names but even common packages like dhcp and bind have different names, configuration files and commands to do the same thing. Most of it is not that hard to figure out but it does take time to do it and it is a lot more work than going from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8. 2. Some packages simply won't??t be available. Most often this happens in the Debian -> CentOS direction, but I've run into cases going the other way. Just for one, I currently have to install NPM from source on Debian because the platform version won't work properly with the platform version of Node, last time I tested it. Why? Same answer as above. 3. Debian adopted systemd, but it didn't adopt the rest of the Red Hat userland tooling. For instance, it's firewalld on CentOS, UFW on Ubuntu, and raw kernel firewall manipulation on Debian unless you install one of those two. And then, which? Their systemd implementation is my biggest problem with Debian based systems. Debian moved to systemd but only partially. Apparently Debian decided to only kind of move to systemd. Tab completion on systemd commands does not work. If you look in /etc/init.d there are a bunch of sysv init scripts. Converting to systemd is a big enough pita without having a system that is half sysv and half systemd. It would be nice if they would make up their minds. Either bite the bullet and convert everything to systemd or stay with sysv :-( Before somebody brings it up, yes, I know there is Devuan. I do not wish to go even further back in time. 4. Network configuration is almost entirely different unless you turn off all the automation on all platforms, in which case you might as well switch to macOS or FreeBSD for all the good your muscle memory and training will do you. +1 It is a whole different process. It takes me back about 15 years. I'm not saying don't do it, but to say it's as smooth as from CentOS 7 to 8? Hard sell. Agreed!!

I can use DRAC interface of the R730xd to see that the SD card is being recognized and the status of the external SD slot is turned from inactive to active when the card is inserted.

From Wikipedia: I think the SD card on the back of the IDRAC7 systems on the Dell 730xd are similar to this. They are accessible by the IDrac and dell software and are primarily there for emergency install of the hardware from known good media. I believe that vmware has a module which talks to the card so you can install software in vm's from said known good media. --- Simeon, You have anticipated what I am trying to do. I have been using Centos 8 as a host on a 730xd machine, for some Centos 7 guests. With the end of life of Centos 8 only 9 months away I decided to try to migrate everything to vmware. I purchased a sister 730xd to use as a lab computer, and am working on the skill sets necessary to migrate everything to vmware. I have really grown to like kvm and am still disappointed RedHat/IBM is backing away from Centos. I certainly have not been able to get Centos 8 to recognize the SD card, and have also not been able to get vmware on the sister machine to recognize either the SD card in the back slot or even when I have it plugged into a usb converter. The vmware problem is more likely related to my lack of experience with vmware; this is my first time to use it. As was said above, the sd card on the back of the machine is ONLY for use by the iDRAC. If you have iDRAC enterprise, it is not necessary to use it to install vmware esxi or for that matter any OS. All you need to do is mount the iso as a virtual disk using the iDRAC console. I do this all the time to both upgrade/install esxi and install centos/Windows/whatever vm's. Just do not try to mount the iso on a machine on a low bandwidth connection. It will take forever. :-( If you want to install vmware esxi on an sd card you need a isdm module.

Actually it might. Dovecot can do the sasl auth part. I have not touched sendmail in at least 10 years, so I do not know anything about the current default sendmail config but I know dovecot sasl auth is easier to config for postfix (5 lines in the postfix main.cf IIRC).

[CentOS] pam and radius config problem
Hi,
I am trying to configure ssh/pam to use freeradius as one of the authentication
sources on a C6 box.
I have freeradius running on a separate box with 2 factor authentication.
Using the radtest utility, I can successfully authenticate. My problem is that
I do not understand how to configure pam to use radius as an auth source and
be sure I am not opening a security hole in my systems.
While googling, I have found several howto's that talk about how to do this
using the pam_radius utility but the examples do not match what is found in
/etc/pam.d/sshd.
What I would like to accomplish is the following:
1. Allow logins using ssh keys.
2. If that fails, Allow login via radius.
3. if not on the local network disallow login via a regular user name and
passwd.
I think 3 might be able to be accomplished via a match statement in sshd.conf
but
I am not sure.
Does anyone know how to do this in a secure way?
If I start modifying the pam.d configuration files, how can I be sure I am not
opening up a security hole?

Nope, no common log!! Just mysql, postfix, http. dovecot and amavis-new logs.
Turn up logging. Most likely the answer is there. (hint none of what I
suggested logs to /var/log/messages). Keep in mind all pfa is, is a web app.
When configured correctly, it knows how to talk to all of the associated
components but logging is still to the native logs of each of the respective
components.
When I am setting up a new instance of pfa I generally turn mysql, dovecot
and amavisd-new logging up so that I can see any errors. Running something like
tail -F /var/log{messages,maillog,mysqld.log,httpd/*,maillog} should get you
enough information for you to be able to see what is going on.

Empirical evidence seems to suggest that if the correct udev entry is missing
udev will create the entry on its own.
FWIW, the cards I am changing out have 3 ports on them
and again after doing 15 of these, I have never messed with udev.
I did not even know about this "problem" until I read about it on this list.
Interestingly enough, I just looked at the udev file and it contains not only
the new mac addresses but also the old ones.
For example the entries for eth1 looks like the following:
# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8167 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:30:18:a9:e4:ad", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
# PCI device 0x8086:0x1076 (e1000) (custom name provided by external tool)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:30:18:a4:eb:d0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
I did not put any of these entries in there and I wonder what
"external tool" is providing the "custom name"?
Is there anyone here who actually knows how this is supposed to work?

Agreed, I have seen that behavior but I was talking about what happens if you
change a card, put the new MAC address in ifcfg-eth* and do nothing with the
udev rules.
I always use ks to build the machines and the interfaces are pre-defined in the
ks setup.

The standard way to start and stop services on any Red Hat based Linux system
is with service service-name stop/start/restart/whatever. Postfix is a special
case in that you can do service postfix stop/start OR you can do
postfix stop/start because the postfix author designed it that way. If you do
not like the inconsistency then always use service postfix start/stop/restart,
etc.
Postfix just has an optional way to stop and start it. It is that simple. In
addition, using service postfix whatever has more options then simply start and
stop. You can do any of the following:
{start|stop|restart|reload|abort|flush|check|status|condrestart}. Run the
command "service postfix" without any additional arguments to see an example.

[CentOS] Unable to map more than 4 workspaces to keyboard shortcuts on C7.
Hi, I have a new install of c7 with the gnome desktop. I run it with 12 workspaces. Normally I create the shortcuts so that ctrl+f1 maps to workspace 1 ctrl+f2 maps to f2, etc. When I goto applications -> settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> navigation, I only have the ability to define "Switch to workspace" 1 through 4. There does not appear to be a way to map keyboard shortcuts for "Switch to workspace" 5-12. Does anyone know how I can add the ability to create shortcuts for workspaces 5-12? In previous versions (c-6 and older) the number of available keyboard shortcuts matched the available number of workspaces configured. I am thinking that there is some file someplace that I should be able to modify to make this work but so far I cannot find it.

[CentOS] RDP for Centos 7
Hi, Does anyone know of a good program for doing RDP to windows servers on C-7? The "Remote desktop viewer" program that comes with C7 is not reliable for me. I frequently have multiple long running RDP sessions and the keyboard will stop responding. The only way I can find to get it started again is to restart the program and login to the servers again. In addition, I cannot find a way to make copy and paste work. On the plus side, I like the way Remote desktop viewer displays the desktops in tabs. Suggestions?

That's a good question, as "orphaning" it would be an issue for all people now getting it directly from Extras, if they don't have epel added (also "opt-in") AFAICS, nothing is pushed to git.centos.org anymore for it : https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!ansible.git So I guess it would be a question for the centos-devel list : - either we orphan it (and the other pkgs required for it) from extras - or we try to build those and continue to provide ansible Does it really matter which repo it comes from? I would expect the users of ansible to be smart enough to get it from epel or extras. As long as we know how to get it I do not see this as a big deal. It seems that since it is already being built for EPEL, that would be the path of least resistance for the Centos devs. Just my $.02 Regards, -- Tom m...@tdiehl.org ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Such an upgrade would require extensive testing before we can roll it out. By the time we do that, we may have finally ordered a replacement server for the system, and the new one will be C7. I did not miss it. I seem to remember that you asked for something in SCL. If you are willing to use SCL then why not use packages supplied in base? If you are not willing to do the testing then your only choice is NO SECURITY. SMB_1 is not secure and should not be used. That is why it is no longer supported in Win 10 or samba 3.x. For once MS is doing the right thing. This isn't a cube farm, but 30 or 50 or 60 people being out of capability for hours or days is not something we do. It is not an intrusive change but I agree it should be tested. Bottom line is it is your system so you get to decide. :-) Regards, -- Tom m...@tdiehl.org ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Where can I find the 6.10 centos-release srpm?

I looked in vault and it is not there. The 6.10 folder is in place, but we need to give the team chance to upload. I would assume it will appear in coming days or alternatively, you could create your own from git.centos.org. Hi, Yea, I know it will show up in a few days. In the past when I asked, someone usually provides a url to it so that I can get going with what I have to do. TBH, Pulling the sources from git.centos.org would be a great way to get the sources if it worked as per the documentation @ https://wiki.centos.org/Sources I thought that I had this figured out for C7 by following the above wiki page but if I pull the sources for the c7 centos-release rpm when I look at the spec file I see it is for 7.3.1611. If I try to do a git checkout for c6 I get the following error: (vgeppetto2 pts14) $ git checkout c6 error: pathspec 'c6' did not match any file(s) known to git. (vgeppetto2 pts14) $ So at this point in time, I am lost. Can someone tell me what the magic incantation is to actually get the latest sources? It would also be nice if it was described how to do this @ https://wiki.centos.org/Sources so that mear mortals like myself could understand how to actually use it.

An example of the missing SRPMS is anaconda. Any timelines on when the full srpms will hit the mirrors ? SRPMS do not get mirrored. They are in the vault. For 1804 try looking in http://vault.centos.org/7.5.1804/os/Source/SPackages/ I see 3 anaconda SRPMS in there.

[CentOS] How do I actaully get the current sources from centos-git?
Hi, I am trying to retrieve the srpm for the latest centos-release pacakge from centos-git by following the instructions @ https://wiki.centos.org/Sources. If I run the following commands: git clone https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/centos-release.git cd centos-release/ git checkout c7 ~/centos-git-common/get_sources.sh Everything completes without error. The problem is that the sources that get downloaded are not for 1804. (vgeppetto2 pts21) $ ll SOURCES/ SPECS/ SOURCES/: total 28 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 1584 Aug 6 08:19 1000-centos-release-cr.patch -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 264 Aug 6 08:19 85-display-manager.preset -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 2439 Aug 6 08:19 90-default.preset -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 12799 Aug 6 08:20 centos-release-7-1.1503.tar.gz SPECS/: total 8 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 6471 Aug 6 08:19 centos-release.spec (vgeppetto2 pts21) $grep "define upstream_rel" SPECS/centos-release.spec %define upstream_rel 7.3 (vgeppetto2 pts21) $ So if I am reading things correctly, it looks like the SOURCES are for 1503 and the spec file is for 1611. Can someone please explain to me how to actually get the current SOURCES and SPEC for centos-release-7-5.1804.1 from centos git? To be clear I know I can get the srpm from vault but I would like to understand how to work centos git.

Re: [CentOS] How do I actaully get the current sources from centos-git?
Hi Johnny, On Wed, 15 Aug 2018 joh...@centos.org wrote: The issue is specifically with the ability to push sources to git.centos.org in the shadow cache. I can't do that in the current setup, only Red Hat RCM can. I can push text into git, but not binary files to shadow cache. The only package impacted is centos-release, because it is the only package that we actually change the tarball and where I would need to push to shadow cache. If I push the spec changes, but not the shadow cache changes, it renders centos-release not buildable. We are working on an update whereby I will be able to push the changes to git.centos.org .. when we get that in place, I will maintain centos-release there like all the other packages. In the mean time, we have a 'unified centos-release' here in git (for all c7 arches): https://github.com/CentOS/sig-core-AltArch/tree/master/centos-release You will still need to download the SRPM to get the tarball. Thanks for the update. Will there be some kind of announcement when you are able to push to git.centos.org?

Re: [CentOS] Stupid C7 firewall question
On Thu, 25 Oct 2018, Valeri Galtsev wrote: Thanks Warren for nice quick start covering everything one needs to configure firewalld. There is one thing I am related to "direct iptables manipulation" which is: suppose I made configuration of some machine, which then I am going to replicate just by using kickstart when building new machines. What should I add to kickstart configuration file to make my configured firewalld part reproduced on all newly built machines? We stopped using kickstart and switched to ansible but the process is basically the same. Simply copy the appropriate files in /etc/firewalld. For me that means the files in the zones directory and in the services directory. Any changes you have made to the default configurations will be stored under /etc/firewalld. If the directories are empty, then you are running defaults. Because we run configuration management, I mostly just edit the files with an editor. The format is generally very simple to understand. The defaults are stored in /usr/lib/firewalld/. You can use the files there as examples by copying them to the correct directory in /etc/firewalld and making the necessary modifications. Don't forget to reload firewalld after any changes. Regards, -- Tom m...@tdiehl.org ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Address Codes
On Tue, 30 Oct 2018, Chris Olson via CentOS wrote: One of our summer interns has stayed on during the school year to work some weekends on special assignments. This past weekend, her assignment was to draft, and try out, procedures for scanning all incoming regular mail including the envelopes. This is a new effort for us because previous mail handling was done by another organization. Most of our incoming mail is from other businesses that create printed address labels.? Many of these labels also have a type of bar code below the address.? Is there a Linux utility or standard application that will read and translate these codes. Google for "Intelligent Mail Barcode" Here is one link: https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/intelligent-mail-barcode but there are many others. IIRC the postal service even publishes the specs so you can build your own software. Handling bulk mail is way more complex than most people realize. Decoding the Intelligent Mail Barcode is trivial but it might not be as useful as you think. It is mostly meant the USPS to route mail and to provide information to the sender about how much of their mail got delivered and what got returned. For example, if you track your bulk mail that you send, and a piece gets returned you can simply scan the bar code and compare against your db to know what got returned without even opening the envelope.

I CAN connect to it with rdesktop 1.8.3 (now rather old, but it's the latest release), but cannot connect with remmina or krdc. Both of them just hang for a while then say they can't connect. Curiously, they all will connect to the win10 box in my office. They don't show any other useful information, and I don't know where to go to figure this out. Anyone out there have any ideas they can share? In the advanced tab of remmina, make sure security is set to TLS. IIRC it defaults to negotiate which does not work. I had this same problem with win-10. FWIW, After some updates were installed on my win-7 vm's they suddenly stopped connecting with remmina. Switching the security to TLS fixed the problem.
