Yup, I disabled selinux & rebooted, and now I have all those console-kits running again. Although I've never had a good explanation of what they are. I suspect that the hourly awstats run will also work now. Is selinux on its way out? Killing console-kit seems like a very good way to shoot itself, a bit higher than the foot. :) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Exactly that, I was looking at the name as shown by ls, and typing it exactly & got a "file not found", but a copy/paste from that ls listing and it worked.

Do an eSearch (TM) on "Linux ACL". ACL is not encrytion ACLs restrict file access in a per user basis. You could make the files inaccessible to others while the files are accessible to you only.

No good. A rootkit could have changed the file creation time. Either run
a hash check on all the binaries ("rpm -V" might be useful here, but of
course the rpm database could also be corrupt), or just reinstall from
safe media.
I know which one I'd do.

Question re deprecated rcN.d launched utils
Greetings; Touring the system investigating selinux alerts naming the Console*-daemon, it came to my attention that I had the start-stop links for ConsoleKit, LISa, and fglrx laying around, but that there were no corresponding files at the other end of the link in ../init.d. So I nuked them. Inspecting the ConsoleKit packages seems to indicate those files are not now part of the system. However, it was strange in that I could not rm them by typing the names, but had to copy paste the names into the command line. That seemed odd, but on further inspection with htop, the 50+ copies of ConsoleKit normally running on my F8 system are also on the missing list. Is this something I need to fix ASAP? According to yumex, all the ConsoleKit stuff is installed. Looking at SEadmin, the consolekit policy module is version 1.2.0. Rights on the console-kit-daemon are: r...@coyote ~]# ls -la --context /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:consolekit_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon Selinuxtroubleshooter says I should do a restorecon -v './console-kit-daemon', but it returns silently and changes nothing.

Do you mean you can't see the actual device files (/dev/...) or you
can't play the media? If you can't see the files, check if they still
exist ('ls /dev/...' from the command line). If you can't play the
media, you'll need to say how you used to do it. Dolphin doesn't play
media itself, it uses Kaffeine (or VLC, or dragon, or mplayer, or ...)

Hi POC,
Neither Dolphin nor Krusader would list or show an icon of anything outside "Home" or "Root"; I found autofs had
deinstalled during the upgrade so reinstalled that & my external HDD came back. Rythmbox one time showed the tracklist, but
wouldn't play anything, alsomixer wuld show lots of controls & freeze with nearly 100% CPU usage; Pulsaudio didn't seem to do
anything, so (following the comments in the forum) I deleted PA, but couldn't take out some of the sub utilis of PA without yum
wanting to deinstall everything as nmothing was used by anything else. So loaded amarok & music plays automatically but the
icons in "places" for the CD/DVD drives are still missing. The drives show up however in HWLister. /dev shows entries for
cdrom & cdrom1 & cdrw, dvd, dvd1 & dvdrw.

Jack Lauman wrote: Yes, I need to add root back in... Not necessarily. You would be safer to boot rescue from an installer DVD, then choose to mount the filesystems for your compromised F9. Shutdown each system, move it to a trusted network, or off-net and attach an external disk to save files onto, put in the F9 DVD, then boot that DVD, not the compromised system's disk. If you choose to start the network during rescue startup dialogs then you could save off files from the filesystems to elsewhere on the network, and could reasonably expect that there is no malicious software watching you do so since you booted the DVD not the compromised system.

FC9 Compromised...
On Feb 25, between 1753-2046 PST several of my Fedora Core 9 machines were compromised. All had the latest patches applied. 1. Only the installed user accounts are on these machines. The root user password is long with upper/lower case characters with numerals & punctuation. It is unlikely this was cracked. 2. All log files were deleted. 3. The following users were deleted 'root': mysql apache sshd dbus haldaemon dovecot gdm smmsp 4. The machine can only be accessed in 'single user' mode. Using 'passwd' to reset the root password fails with: "passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module." Any help on resolving this would be appreciated. I need to get data off these before re-installation. Have any other incidents like this been reported lately?

My FC10 system is off right now, but I have been using wpa_supplicant in
Centos for a long time.
First you need to modify wpa_supplicant.conf here is one of my entries:
network={
ssid="IEEE.1x"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="me"
password="mine"
ca_cert="/usr/share/ssl/cert.pem"
phase1="peapver=1"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=10
}
network={
ssid="rsa2008peap"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="me"
password="mine"
ca_cert="/home/rgm/data/ms1der.cer"
phase1="peapver=1"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=10
}
Then you need to run:
ifconfig eth1 up
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -B -dd -K -D wext -i eth1 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Or something similar. Read the man to get the right -D value.

Those tell me the command it launches is /usr/bin/gpk-install-catalog %F What kind of cockamamie half-formed app is this? What is it supposed to catalog? What I have -- in some way? What I could get -- in some way? Is it actually related to the "gpk" it contains, or is that just a way to get it? And above all, what is supposed to go in place of that "%F" -- and how do we find such things?

Do you mean you can't see the actual device files (/dev/...) or you
can't play the media? If you can't see the files, check if they still
exist ('ls /dev/...' from the command line). If you can't play the
media, you'll need to say how you used to do it. Dolphin doesn't play
media itself, it uses Kaffeine (or VLC, or dragon, or mplayer, or ...)

Same problem here, also running F 10 on X86-66 and with an Asus EAH3650 Silent Magic. Although, when my stuff hangs, it's hung, I can't get to a text console at all. I have to do a hard reboot (cringe) and then grab grub on the way up to boot into run level 3. I can't tell you exactly what's choking and dying, BUT, I have at least been able to narrow it down the exact rpm that is doing the damage. It's xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm It's probably either the ati or radeo driver modules, but that's just speculation at this point. My work-around was kind of brain dead, but it's kept me running. I queried the rpm for its files, then tar'ed myself an archive of those before updating, and played them back after the update. Really, really cheesy, but I've got 9 irons in the fire right now and can't look back at the moment > I'm running X86-66 Fedora 10.

Keyboard layout trashed
Help! I've just re-booted my system after an update, and my keyboard layout is wrong. I have a Logitech deluxe 250 keyboard. I tried going into System->Preferences->Hardware->Keyboard - it showed me a USA layout (nothing else, although I am in United Kingdom, and my system has long be configured that way). So I tried to add a layout. I could not find my keyboard in the choices under Logitech. Worse, every layout I looked at (and not just logitech) did not show the full number of keys (the key between the left-hand SHIFt and the Z - labelled \ on my keyboard is missing). How can I select the correct layout? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
