I have a user who couldn't get in via WinSCP to a server. Got him to log in via putty, and that was fine. But he still couldn't get in the other way. At my manager's suggestion, I restarted autofs... and everything worked. Note that his home director5y was already automounted via NFS, after he logged in via putty. We've seen other, similar oddities with NFS. Is anyone else seeing

The recently-left programmer did *something*, and he didn't know what, and the guy who picked it up is working with me to find out why /var/log/messages is getting flooded with Oct 26 11:01:06 <servername> kernel: type=1105 audit(1477494066.569:642430): pid=108551 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 msg='op=PAM:session_open

Irritating quirkyness: we have a bunch of videocams. To use, we use gspca. Usually, on an upgrade, I just go into the gspca directory (which appears, from their website, to have not been updated since '07), make clean, make, make install. Having gone up to 5.5, did the same. What's happening now is that it works, delivers the mpgs... but dumps errors in the logs: <snip> kernel:

I've updated my kickstart configuration files to work with CentOS 6 and am most of the way there integrating a CentOS 6 system into our LDAP/NIS environment. My authconfig line in the kickstart file is as follows: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX --nisserver=nis.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com

Most of my users are on kde, as am I (I really don't like gnome). I've got one on gnome, though, CentOS 6.4, and I have a problem: I have to start an agent running ->on login<-, so that the same one is in the environment of every term window he opens. In kde, no problem, I modify /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common so that code in there calls our (newer) ssh-agent instead of the stock one.

So, another admin I work with rolled out most (but not kernel) updates to 6.4... but including xorg. I log out the end of the day, and I'm hosed - no X. Now, my not-two-year-old workstation has an nvidia card, and I'd installed kmod-nvidia from elrepo. I figured I'd fix my problem by finishing the upgrade and rebooting. Nope. I try to upgrade kmod-nvidia from elrepo. Anyone got any

I'm exporting a directory, firewall's open on both machines (one CentOS 6.6, the other RHEL 6.6), it automounts on the exporting machine, but the other server, not so much. ls /mountpoint/directory eventually times out (directory being the NFS mount). mount -t nfs server:/location/being/exported /mnt works... but an immediate ls /mnt gives me stale file handle. The twist on this: the

This is annoying. I ssh to a server, then, it doesn't matter if I su - or sudo -s, I start a service (motion, if it matters), and when the service sends an email, it's from me, not from root, or the user the service runs as. I've dumped my environment, I've just dumped service's environment. I've set SUDO_USER to root, and SUDO_UID to 0, and restarted the service, and

I haven't gone past 38, because when the 45 update came out, and video... like, say, my *required* training from work, when I tried to run it, it crashed firefox. Repeatedly. 100% of the time. Has anyone been using the current version had trouble with video, etc? I'd like to update, but not if I can't do required training.... mark

I spent a number of hours at one of the local SF clubs turning a desktop into a dual-boot (if they ever need that for anything) CentOS 6.4 system, then trying to install Evergreen, an oss library package. Can you say, "dependency hell"? I suspect they wrote it on Ubuntu (this is client/server software, dunno why they'd do that). At any rate, I yum installed the postgresql 9.x

Has anyone had problems accessing random websites since going up to 6.4? Since about the day after I got partly upgraded, if I try to access nytimes.com, or orbitz.com, I get server not found. With a lot of work, I, my manager, and the other admin, found that setting options edns0 in /etc/resolv.conf fixed it - I suspect that the network folks updated their internal nameservers (which are M$)

Most of the time since last Thursday or so, that piece of crap called Nixnet (ix.manitu) has been blocking my hosting provider's mailservers. I did ask, when I talked to support last week, and they host *millions* of domains. They do not have a million techs (neither does google - but I'm *sure* none of you have ever gotten spam from google mail, right?). Again, I'll give my argument

The latest version seems to have a bug. One of my users went to look at a paper in Phy Rev E, and the firefox pdf view looked fine... but what printed had garbage for scales on the graphs. Then I had him use the firefox print preview... and it was garbage. Looked at it on my system, ditto, and firefox was updated yesterday on all our systems. Save as (why isn't there an "open"?) a

I see there's a release today or so from Oracle of a new zero-day vulnerability. Any idea how soon we'll have an update? <https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/oracle-rushes-emergency-java-update-patch-mcrat-vulnerabilities-030413> mark
