similar to: SELinux and daemons - clever way to change default locations?

Hi all, I have created a directory /srv with the following SELinux context: system_u:object_r:var_t Now I want to create a subdirectory within /srv which should get a different context. So I tried to set e.g.: semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t /srv/samba /sbin/restorecon -v /srv/samba but the context is always reset to: system_u:object_r:var_t What am I missing? Best Regards Marcus

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Nginx on CentOS 7. Eventually I want to use it instead of Apache on some servers. Apache works more or less out of the box with SELinux. My websites are all stored under /var/www, and ls -Z shows me that all files created under /var/www are correctly labeled httpd_sys_content_t. On my sandbox server I don't have Apache (httpd) installed, only Nginx

I need to upgrade a server running an old Fedora version. The new OS will be CentOS 5 64bit. I want to put /var/lib/cyrus and /var/spool/cyrus (all the variable files for the Cyrus IMAP server) on the same partition like /home - this way, all the "user-related stuff", home pages and email, stays on one partition. The problem is SELinux. On Fedora, I had to customize the SELinux

I just received a Wildcard TDM400P by FedEx yesterday. I noticed that the FXO/FXS modules use connectors similar to Ethernet. Now, i want to connect the TDM400P to the PSTN connector in the wall, and also to a regular analog phone. Both the PSTN conn and the phone use smaller connectors, typical for analog phones. I searched the "official" docs and the Wiki, there's good

I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully supported. Mandatory features: - works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers - can do RAID 0, 1 and 5 - hotswap - allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive via a script (ideally run from cron) - works with very large SATA drives Nice to have features but not mandatory: -

If your Perl apps are unusually slow on CentOS 5, have a look at this blog: http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/ In a nutshell: some Perl apps are 100x slower on RedHat / CentOS 5 compared to other distributions.

I looked in the yum repositories for CentOS 7 and I noticed that there are no packages for any of the major open source IPSec VPN apps - Openswan, strongSwan, etc. I'm pretty sure CentOS 6 had Openswan packages. What is the current consensus w.r.t. building an IPSec VPN "server" (concentrator, whatever) on CentOS 7, that will do site-to-site connections with Cisco hardware at

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/04/2212251&tid=158&tid=95&tid=103 Probably some of you already saw this. Now, beyond discussions regarding the legitimacy of such a ruling (whether they have the legal, moral or whatever right to enforce it), there's the technical aspect. Suppose i provide VoIP services using Asterisk, and i fall under the incidence of the FCC ruling

CentOS 7 How do I print something on the text-mode console right after the OS has finished booting? I've a virtual instance and I need to know its IP address after it has finished booting up, to know where to ssh into it. I've tried adding "ip -4 addr > /dev/tty0" to rc.local, but that obviously doesn't work, because the login prompt overwrites everything I do. --

Is it possible to add caching to a pipe? cat blah | in_RAM_cache_here -s SIZE | something else I'm doing what is essentially a cat (*) from a DVD directly to an NFS share. It looks like the two media (DVD and NFS) have very different read / write behaviors, speeds and timings, and the overall process is not as fast as possible. So I was wondering if some kind of cache inbetween might be

Have a look at these pages: http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/06/13/3ware-performance-in-centos/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444759 I'm comparing the default 5.1 64bit kernel with the patched one posted in the bug report (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.bz321111.x86_64) and I don't quite see any significant difference in write performance for this command: dd if=/dev/zero

I will install Asterisk on my home server, I want to be able to route video calls, but I need the Windows and Linux clients to be interoperable. On Linux, it looks like Ekiga is a good candidate. But how about Windows? Anyone using Kapanga in an Asterisk network that includes Ekiga? Are these two interoperable? I'm not necessarily looking for open source software, free for personal use is

Let's say I want to use a much newer kernel - even one from the future, such as the upcoming 2.6.24. :-) What would y'all smart folks do in this case, in order to avoid any possible nasty consequences? Would you import the config file from the original CentOS5 kernel into the new kernel, and let the kernel deal with the differences? I.e. have the old configuration as some sort of

I'm a Thunderbird user almost since day one, but now I'm looking for something else. For whatever reason, it doesn't work well for me - every once in a while it becomes non-responsive (UI completely frozen for several seconds, CPU usage goes to 100%) and I just can't afford to waste time waiting for the email software to start working again. My main desktop platform is Linux,

So, my favorite RPM repository (EPEL) only has the ancient nagios-2.12 or so. What's the repo you use for Nagios 3? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

# 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-14-server x86_64 Ubuntu 9.04 Here's the situation: I have several local clients (Thunderbird) which do not use TLS at all.

I'm doing some experiments with GlusterFS. Most documents online suggest to install the glusterfs-package as if it was available directly in the repo, and therefore installable via a simple "yum install". Unless I'm wrong, it appears that this package is not in the repo for CentOS 6. Does anyone know what happened to it? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
