OT : systemd-udev issue in CentOS 8.5 / Rocky Linux 8.5 / RHEL 8.5

2022-05-16 Thread Peter Skensved
   
   Sorry for being a bit off topic here but I'm hoping some of the clever 
people on this 
list can help me out with a systemd-udev issue here.I'm hoping this is a solved 
issue in
fedora that maybe hasn't made its way upstream yet.

 I have a custom usb devive that I want a certain group of users to have full 
access to when
it is plugged in . For CentOS 6 & 7 I just add a rule to  /etc/udev/rules.d  
like

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTR{idProduct}=="2017", 
GROUP="atmel", MODE="666"

and Bob is your uncle. The created usb device ( /dev/bus/usb/.../...  gets 
permissions 666 as
user root and group atmel .

 However, I cannot get this to work the same way with CentOS 8 / Rocky Linux 8 
/ ( RHEL 8 )
and I cannot figure out why not. The device in /dev/bus/usb is being created 
but only  root
can access it as the ownersip is set to root:root and the mode to 664 . The 
logs report an :
unhandled action 'bind' on /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb1/1-1 ( or 
similar depending
on the port used ) and  systemd-udev  retuns :  invalid SUBSYSTEM operation  
which doesn't
tell me a lot.

 Removing the MODE and GROUP from the rule makes the error messages go away but 
ownership and
permissions are set to the default root and 664

 Trying to replace MODE and GROUP ith a RUN=+some_script also fails ( with or 
without
including the ACTION=="add" keyword. The script never starts as far as I can 
tell.

 Anybody knows what is going on here ? Does systemd-udevd not have root 
permissions ?
I can of course set the mode as user root or use sudo but really ?

 systemd is version 239 which is probably outdated by fedora standards but it 
is what comes
with RHEL 8.5 clones.

   This work from Linux box to Linux box . Not sure about Macs :


local> ssh -Y remote-ip

remote> firefox -no-remote


 Note the -no-remote .  It forces requests to come from the remote box rather
than the local one ( which is the default )

  Are you sure this is really a 16GB card ? Lots SD cards and USB cards ( even 
branded ones ) are fake and do not hold anywhere near the stated capacity. You
may want to try to run f3write / f3read ( from http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ )
on it to see what the actual capacity is. 

 With a fake card everytig works well until the real capacity is filled at which
point it just keeps overwriting itself until completely scrambled.

 The kernel will usually react to this by remounting it read only.

   gdisk will seamlessly convert an existing DOS partition table made by say
fdisk, parted, gparted, ... to GPT format on the fly without disturbing the 
any actual parttions ( you may want to back up first though ... ) .  

 Additionally, I have not had any problems getting 3-4 year old standard dumb
BIOS to boot from a 3TB drive . Never tried with UEFI though.

  DNS problems can do it . Are your /etc/resolv.conf files correct ?
You could try running your own nameserver ( dnsmasq ) if the upstream
one is too slow or too busy.

 It is a udev problem. I had a similar problem with an HP PSC1315
scanner. In that case udev expected to find the rules in /lib/udev/..
but the RPM package put them in /usr/lib/udev/...  ( on CentOS6.5 )

 Soft linking and running udevadm to reolad the rules fixed the problem.

 Also, I've seen suggestions that specifically adding an entry to
/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf may work ( on Ubuntu at least )

Dovecot just does pop/imap _after_ the mail is delivered to mbox or 
Maildir/...

 A simple way to do things is postfix->procmail->spamassassin . It works on a 
per
user basis the . And you can tweak spamassassin to sort by score :
spam
almost-certainly-spam
probably-spam
mbox

 With a bit of training ( sa-learn  --ham mbox  /  sa-learn --spam spam   say 
once a month ) you quickly get down to a few false positive/negative per year.
All the configuration is done in .forward and .procmailrc

Not sure how to do it with Maildir though ...

  Ah - but there are so many "standards" ...

   For what it is worth CentOS6.4 reports something similar when
running rcpinfo -p on a server with this in /etc/sysconfig/nfs :

# Define which protocol versions mountd 
# will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes"
# with yes being the default
#MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no"
MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"
MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no"
#

...

RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3"


 However if I try to mount with -t nfs on a client I get a nfs4 type
mount ( same as with -t nfs4 ) . On the other hand if I ask for
a -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 mount it just hangs forever. Only tcp port
2049 is open in iptables although nmap -sU tells me that various
NFS related things are listening locally. 

 On the server itself an attempt to mount version 3 results in a :
mount.nfs: Interrupted system call
so I guess the extra ( local ) udp stuff doesn't actually do anything .

 I haven't tried this myself but this may be what you're looking for :

[Translation]
Method = nsswitch

( in idmapd.conf ) 

 It isn't documented in the man pages for CentOS 5.5 ( RHEL 5.5 ) but it showed
up in bugzilla under fedora.
