I am auditing an Amazon EC2 instance I've set up for security before deploying it. I started to run an install process and saw php5-mhash as one of the packages to install. I tried to find out more about this packages and noticed the description is incorrect: [url]
View 1 RepliesHow can I get Zypper to show the full description of packages rather than a truncated summary? When I use zypper to list installed packages or search for packages from the command line I would like to see the full detailed description of the packages that are returned in the results. Currently zypper only shows me a truncated summary description.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI hoped to use php-5.2 while keeping close the the centos packages (no external repositories).So I tried the packages from http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/ .These packages seem to be compiled without mime-magic support (--without-mime-magic).The previous stable php-5.1.6 packages had this mime-magic support enabled.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to use PHP5.2x instead of PHP5.3x on my Ubuntu 10.04. There is a small bug in Drupal where tweaking Views causes an error which seems to be associated with php5.3.
So, how would I regress to using 5.2x on Ubuntu?
Just like the title says, if I were to try to run anything through gksu and accidentally put in an incorrect password, instead of the gksu window coming up again, it would just terminate.
Code:
theyain@theyain-laptop:~$ gksu update-manager
GNOME_SUDO_PASSGNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
Whats interesting is that it gives me the sudo error after only one incorrect password attempt.
I've moved my /var/log directory to another disk (/mnt/serverlogs) and created a symlink for the original directory:
Code:
[root@fileserver2 var]# ls -aldZ /var/log
lrwxrwxrwx. root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0 /var/log -> /data/serverlogs
[root@fileserver2 var]# ls -aldZ /data/serverlogs
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:var_log_t /data/serverlogs
I have SELinux set to permissive and am getting lots of errors because the contexts are incorrect after a filesystem relabel. e.g.
Code:
[root@fileserver2 var]# ls -alZ /data/serverlogs/messages
-rw-------. root root system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 /data/serverlogs/messages
I believe that this file should be var_log_t.How can I restore the correct context to all of the files in /var/log?I've tried running:
Code:
restorecon -vR /var/log/
But this does not change the contexts, I guess because the files are now in the 'incorrect' location. I've looked through the file: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts which I believe contains the original/default settings - maybe I need to alter this file to fix the problem? I've also tried modifying /data/serverlogs using:
Code:
semanage fcontext -a -t var_log_t /data/serverlogs
which fixes the directory itself, but not the contents,
I have tried to not allow root access and have created a wheel user.
Now I can not logged in as root.
Its okay but when am logging as wheel user and trying to access root then it says:

it is saying : su - incorrect password.
I have change the #chmod 755/bin/su
Now i cant login as a root from command line , though root password works from GNOME

View 14 Replies View RelatedI havnt, intentionally, addressed this issue (not for initial want of trying), but after having given the matter up for some time, today i closed the lid and was expecting it to go to blank screen, but no it went into suspend (despite not being instructed to do so in power management), crikey i thought here comes a forced shut down and a dicey boot, but lo she woke After an initial second of smeared-up graphics and the sound of the hard disk starting to spin twice in a row, she woke.
On closing the lid again it went to blank screen, a fluke i thought, so i changed the options to suspend when lid closed in power management and tried again, and it worked, again, and again and again. Any other ppc users noticed that suspend now suddenly works?
I was looking around the files in /etc/ to see what they were and what they said, then I noticed there was two files called passwd, which confused me a lot for a second then I noticed one of them was actually passwd-.I compared them and they only differed by one line:
< games:36:35:added by portage for gemrb:/usr/games:/bin/bash, which was in passwd but not passwd-.Should these files both exist? If yes, why, what does having both do? If no, then its safe to say I can just delete passwd-
i got a RHEL 5.2 machine.and i noticed that the total used memory(as shown in "free" command) is 3GB higher thanthe sum of RSS size of all processes(collected using "ps aux").i know that its not suppose to be exact because RSS counts ultiple times shared memory (so actually it suppose to be higher than the used memory).the server runs apache which runs a pretty heavy php program.my suspicion is that its memory leak?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having a really annoying problem here. Every time when I use my Computer while listening to music, or watching a video, I get some sort of crackling in my Audio. For example, playing a mp3 with Rhythmbox (or Banshee or Totem, doesn't matter really) while browsing the web is just horrible, every time I scroll down the page (Mouse wheel or keyboard) I get that noise. Just listening to the music while not touching the Computer works just fine. It does not seem to be CPU related, my reason being: I can max out my CPU, rendering a 3D graphic and still have crystal clear sound, but browsing down some big file-folder at the same time will distort my audio.
The same goes with games which are a bit on the high CPU side, like Nexuiz with high graphic settings: No sound problems at all. I am using my on-board sound, which lspci lists as VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10), pure ALSA setup, no pulse/esd or anything of the like installed. Switched to unstable to see if a more up2date kernel or updated alsa would do the trick, it didn't! I am running Debian Unstable - 2.6.37-2-amd64 kernel, Gnome-Desktop. Here's what I did to make my sound work in the first place, since my squeeze didn't recognize my sound-setup out of the box:
To make my onboard sound system-wide default I created /etc/asound.conf:
# Modified as per [URL]
pcm.!default {
type hw
card VT82xx }
ctl.!default {
type hw
card VT82xx } .....
I got a new motherboard since my last one failed and this one has a Realtek RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit on-board NIC. I noticed when I attempted to load Wheezy on her, she complained about the drivers not be listed in the Debian kernel. Is there a way I can slip in the drivers via USB or some other method so I can do a netinst of Debian on this new system?

When installing I noticed that the connection flashed orange for a bit and then returned to simply flashing slow. Its my understanding that if you have a green steady light and a flashing orange then there IS a connect. If this is true then, for some reason the install didn't find it or didn't install a driver for it. I installed 2 times just to make sure.Oh, when installing, off the dvd (10.4) it said there was a problem but it would give me a desktop so that I could figure it out.I am clueless.There was a box to install and that is what I have been using. Obviously, I am missing something here
View 6 Replies View Relatedway of updating only the security packages on CentOS?
If I do a yum update. It updates everything and creates a new version which will unnecessarily uses space along with the old version. I don't want this to happen. way of updating only the security packages and keeping my old version of CentOS?
Today I ran
aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade
Like I regularly do, and I see these two packages need to be upgraded:
login passwd
Since these packages seem kinda security-sensitive I would like to know exactly why I would need to upgrade them. I checked Debian's security list but couldn't find anything relevant, and the links to the changelog for both packages are broken:
The requested URL /changelogs/pool/main/s/shadow/shadow_4.1.4.2+svn3283-2+squeeze1/changelog was not found on this server.
Where can I see what is changed in these packages so I can safely upgrade?

View 5 Replies View RelatedBack in the days of slow machines, displaying the package description during an install provided for some reading to break up the boredom (if one was inspired to sit there and watch it do the install). Now days, the descriptions just fly by, several a second most of the time (unless doing things manually). Do we really need this anymore? It's unreadable.
I'd rather see a list of packages being installed scroll by, one package name per line (with size info). Even that might get hard to read during the buzz of small packages being installed causing rapid scrolls.
