[389-users] Odd SSL Issues

Goal: I am attempting to install a CA server certificate, which I have signed by my own openssl CA. My Steps: After using the 389 Console to generate my certificate request, I was then able to sign it with my openssl CA and install the cert (plus CA cert) into the 389 Directory Server without issue. I then choose the; - Enable SSL for this server option and selected the security device and server cert server-crt2. - I checked the CA cert and it showed that there was no broken links in the certification paths. Issue: After restarting Directory Server, I was surprised to see the following error; - [04/Oct/2011:17:39:09 +1100] - SSL alert: Security Initialization: Can't find certificate (server-cert2) for family cn=RSA,cn=encryption,cn=config (Netscape Portable Runtime error -8174 - security library: bad database.)

I think polling the users might be interesting - indeed a tablet GUI is great to have and I'm all for it ... for tablets .. not the default, since most, if not all, fedora users have laptops, servers, or desktops. Servers need a robust non-GUI so not important for DE question. I'd pick KDE - many folks like XFCE .. KDE is a little more modern and its quite configurable (as is XFCE), which is something most who are responsible for managing computers strongly favor.

After you make the GID change you will have to change the ownership of your home to match the new GID: # chgrp -R group /home/user (per the groupmod[1] man page) Also, delete any /tmp files with your old UID and chown files outside of /home. (per the usermod[2] man page) # chown -R user:group /opt/foo/dir [1] Any files that have the old group ID and must continue to belong to GROUP, must have their group ID changed manually. [2] The ownership of files outside of the user´s home directory must be fixed manually. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Just transferring files generated on one OS running on the another? And what if hardware of the machines is different? Not the official voice, but my experience is yes. The only issue MAY BE transferring an image from an intel based server to an AMD based server. For instance, here we run production KVMs on blades with Xeons. I have often found it easier to do maintenance on a VM by mounting/copying that VMs drive to my desktop and firing it up here, and remounting/copying the image on the KVM host afterwards. Nary an issue. My desktop is currently running Fedora 15 on a cheap intel quad core. To insure best long term portability, I would recommend using virtio drivers for network and disks. That way there should never be an issue moving to different hardware underneath. One CAVEAT is sound drivers. The emulator, qemu, must support the drivers you choose. Be careful not to use a driver that may not move forward, or backwards for that matter. I recently built a KVM on my desktop to copy to a RHEL6.0 server. Fedora 15 qemu defaults to a sound driver that did not exist in earlier versions of qemu. Just be aware of audio drivers, use virtio drivers where possible, and you should be golden for years to come.

Re: updating users and groups (was Re: Announcing the release of Fedora 16 Beta!!)
I recommend that you manually change the user and group IDs (UID GID) prior to upgrading the system. On the old system: usermod -g 1000 username usermod -u 1000 username Then run: chown -R username:username directory chgrp -R username:username directory for all of your directories. Reboot and make sure everything is ok. I had to redo one or two of the commands, for some reason, after rebooting. Maybe I didn't chown/chgrp -R everything correctly. This worked perfectly for me when I migrated from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16. I hope this is what you needed. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Correct. If you look at the changelog, not the bug report, you'll see
that a packaging error removed a necessary file. Your other alternative
is to install one of the -devel packages from the currently released
NetworkManager packages, but that brings a fair amount of baggage of
other -devel packages
And, yes, I was experiencing the *same* non-prompting problem, not any
sort of crash. The non-prompting was preventing my VPN connectivity in
addition to being unable to connect to new, secured wireless APs.
But feel free to wait for this to get fixed in a new, released
NetworkManager at some future undetermined date

Primarily, how do they attack your computer? Are the attacks from an external source, or from within your own home/business network? Are you keeping updated with security fixes and such? If the attacks are internal, try restricting access to your computer: iIf you have the automatic login enabled for convenience; I recommend turning it off and forcing yourself (and likely, your attackers) to use an explicit password. (Ensure that this is a strong and unpredictable password. Use a lengthy combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols; and make it unrelated to your username. Don't write it down anywhere if you can help it.) Some more paranoid measures might be to encrypt your hard drive contents (using a different password than your user login), and to restrict physical access to the machine (for example, locking it in its own well-ventilated room, and keeping the key on your person). If the attacks are coming from an external source, ensure that your firewall is set to block all incoming connections. If you are connected to the internet directly, try instead to connect through a known-good router, as the required NAT will add an additional security barrier between you and the Internet. Second, I don't know whether you are running as the superuser (root) or not; but if you are, you should stop immediately. As the administrator account for a system, it has virtually limitless read/write access to anything on that system, including being able to add, modify, or remove any kernel modules, programs and user data. Finally, if none of these are viable in your circumstances, some utilities you can use include rsync and/or duplicity (or the GNOME frontend to these, Deja Dup) to create a file-by-file copy of the drive, and the 'dd' tool to create an image of the drive contents. (Though realistically, you probably only need the /home directory and any modified data files in /etc or /var; as the rest can be simply redownloaded.) -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) pe...@thecodergeek.com Who am I? :: http://thecodergeek.com/about-me signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: Configuring new ethernet interfaces
Hi, I have an existing fedora15 x86_64 server with two interfaces that I've moved to a different motherboard and processor with dual onboard Intel 1000mbs ethernet controllers on it (e1000e driver). After moving the system to the new motherboard, for some reason the ethernet interfaces changed from eth0 and eth1 to eth4 and eth5. Why did this happen, and how do I change it back to eth0 and eth1? It looks like udev has something to do with this? Thanks, Alex The MAC addresses changed. Take a look at this: https://alteeve.com/w/Changing_the_ethX_to_Ethernet_Device_Mapping_in_EL6_and_Fedora_12%2B That was it, thanks. I knew the MAC address changed (should have mentioned that initially) and also knew it was related to udev, but just couldn't remember the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file was the one that needed to be changed. Thanks again, Alex -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: updating users and groups (was Re: Announcing the release of Fedora 16 Beta!!)
On Tue, 2011-10-04 at 17:56 -0600, Peter Gueckel wrote: I recommend that you manually change the user and group IDs (UID GID) prior to upgrading the system. On the old system: usermod -g 1000 username usermod -u 1000 username Then run: chown -R username:username directory chgrp -R username:username directory for all of your directories. Don't just do this blindly, especially on large systems with multiple users. There are two potential problems: 1) You may already have files with user=1000 and/or group=1000. Nothing in the current Fedora prevents this. Creating a new user.group of 1000.1000 means these files will now belong to user and/or group, which is probably not what you want. 2) chown -R ... directory also assumes that everything in the tree below directory should have the same ownership. This is not a safe assumption in the general case. IOW you need to a) check that no 1000.1000 files exist, and b) only change ownership of files belonging to the (old) values of user and group. In fact to be really paranoid this should be done twice, once for user and once for group. Shell scripts using find ... are left as an exercise for the reader. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
