My nightly logwatch report had a never before seen section last night, "barracuda spam firewall". I have not problem with the emails it noted as being rejected. But I've always thought of "barracuda" as a commercial product. I have neither configured nor enabled any barracuda software and "yum list '*barrac*'" comes up empty. What is this? Jon -- Jon

After the large update from 7.2 -> 7.3 there is one major problem, the amanda backup packages. Strange situation, the host is the amanda server is working fine at backing up all my remote clients. But it has an error backing up itself. The amanda packages did not change version (3.3.3) and I've done no configuration change. I'm not looking for help debugging this at the moment.

Hello, I have a CentOS VM with only one disk on a Xenserver. The disk has 2 partitions: /dev/xvda1 -> /boot /dev/xvda2 -> a physical volume for LVM I added 5GB to this disk via Xencenter to extend /dev/xvda2. Usually I just have to do "pvresize /dev/xvda" to have the additional space added to the disk. But for some reason it does not work for this disk. [root ~]# pvresize

I don't believe this is accurate. ro and rw are mutually exclusive, but there is no "w" option. (Which doesn't help the OP, unfortunately, but at least he knows.) For the

On a CentOS 7 system I'm trying to install lightdm. Yum says it requires "glib2(x86-64) >= 2.50.3". glib2 2.46 is installed but I have not found a 2.50 version.

After a recent large update, firewalld's status contains many lines of the form: WARNING: COMMAND_FAILED: '/usr/sbin/iptables... Checking iptables.service status shows it to be masked.

On a 7.2 desktop system I see irregular attempts to start the fingerprint authentication daemon "fprintd". One of the messages is "D-Bus service launched with name: net.reactivated.Fprint" This fails as there is no fingerprint device. fprintd.service is disabled. Without a fingerprint device, is this software needed. Yum removal (aborted) shows no packages dependent on

My system is 7.2.1511. When I run "yum update", it wants to install about 900 packages total. Most are labeled just "el7". A few "el7_1" and a lot are "el7_3" or 7.3. None are 7.2. I'm not surprised when I see 50-100 packages needing an update. But 900? And none specific to the installed system? My last update, of 4 packages, was Dec 31, 2016. I

A friend runs 6.8 but would like to add postscreen to his email server. It is provided with postfix version 2.8 and up. The newest postfix for 6.8 is 2.6.x. Any likelyhood it will be further updated? Or is there another source for newer postfix versions for CentOS 6.8? Similar query for the clamav db, now at 0.99.1 with 0.99.2 out for quite some time. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie

Anyone familiar with the selinux policy for the amanda backup software package? I'm getting lots of data not being backed up. For example, under /home there are 2 directory trees owned by root. Those get backed up, user home dirs do not. No AVC denials nor messages in /var/log/messages or journalctl log. But if I turn off selinux enforcing, or set amanda_t type to permissive, complete

Hello list - http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/90035/how-to-set-dns-resolver-in-fedora-using-network-manager That says it works for CentOS 5 and I *suspect* the methods there (3 listed) would work, but what is the best way with NetworkManager to set it up to use the localhost for DNS ? I'm paranoid about DNS spoofing and really prefer to have a local instance of DNSSEC enforcing
