hobbit on RH 5.3 server
by rmcgraw＠purdue.edu 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

On the RH 5.3 hosts I have installed just the client side of hobbit.4.2.0. After a reboot I get the following in the /var/log/messages file: Jul 7 15:41:37 galileo kernel: type=1400 audit(1246995697.604:109): avc: denied { append } for pid=8951 comm="ifconfig" path="/local/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.galileo.math.purdue.edu.txt.8937" dev=dm-3 ino=294968 scontext=system_u:system_r:ifconfig_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=file Jul 7 15:41:37 galileo kernel: type=1400 audit(1246995697.604:110): avc: denied { append } for pid=8951 comm="ifconfig" path="/local/hobbit/client/logs/hobbitclient.log" dev=dm-3 ino=294969 scontext=system_u:system_r:ifconfig_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=file Jul 7 15:41:37 galileo kernel: type=1400 audit(1246995697.624:111): avc: denied { append } for pid=8955 comm="ifconfig" path="/local/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.galileo.math.purdue.edu.txt.8937" dev=dm-3 ino=294968 scontext=system_u:system_r:ifconfig_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=file Jul 7 15:41:37 galileo kernel: type=1400 audit(1246995697.624:112): avc: denied { append } for pid=8955 comm="ifconfig" path="/local/hobbit/client/logs/hobbitclient.log" dev=dm-3 ino=294969 scontext=system_u:system_r:ifconfig_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=file Right after a boot I get the following: [14][root at galileo]:hobbit/client/logs# ls -alZ drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ./ drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ../ -rw-r--r-- bb bb system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 clientlaunch.galileo.math.purdue.edu.pid -rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 clientlaunch.log -rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 hobbitclient.log If I then manually run the init.d/hobbit start script then it shows: 35][root at galileo]:hobbit/client/logs# ls -alZ drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ./ drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ../ -rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 clientlaunch.galileo.math.purdue.edu.pid -rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 clientlaunch.log -rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 hobbitclient.log and I do not get the error messages in /var/log. I know that this is being caused by SELinux, but not sure the best way to resolve this problem? Thanks Robert _____________________________________________________________________ Robert P.

Msgs - Log entries emoved before 30 minutes
by bb＠buglecreek.com 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I am monitoring /var/log/messages for certain entries. It seems to work fine, except that entries on the msgs page are removed before 30 minutes. They seem to only hang around for about 15 -20 minutes. If you click on full log, you only see entries that are less than about 20 minutes. I thought they should be there for about 30 minutes. Is this configurable? I don't see anywhere to change it. I would like for them to be visible for at least 30 minutes, longer if possible.

client file check
by SKreien＠la-z-boy.com 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi everyone... Does anyone know how the client file check works? My client is running as a non-privileged user and trying to check a file in the Postgres directory, which of course it doesn't have access to. I would let it use sudo if I could, but adding sudo to the ls command in the client config doesn't do anything. So what mechanism does the client use to do file checks? Thanks, Scot Kreienkamp

Solaris Client Install
by mv652＠softhome.net 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

This is my second 'main' question that I have split. I am trying to setup a Xymon 4.3.0 client on a Solaris 10 system, but it fails during compiling after I run 'make'. The main problem seems to be with "ld", but I'd appreciate your opinions if I have something major missing or misconfigured. The "configure client" before 'make' runs ok, except for an error message after "Checking for Large File Support": Checking for Large File Support ... ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support Checking for clock_gettime() requiring librt ... clock_gettime() requires librt I am defintiely using GNU make: # /usr/local/bin/make -v GNU Make 3.81 gcc was already pre-installed: $ /usr/local/bin/gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/specs Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.6 The error during 'make' is: ... <output truncated> config.h created loadhosts.c: In function `bbh_find_item': loadhosts.c:228: warning: return discards qualifiers from pointer target type loadhosts.c: In function `bbh_item_id': loadhosts.c:619: warning: return discards qualifiers from pointer target type msort.c: In function `msort': msort.c:119: warning: passing arg 4 of `qsort' from incompatible pointer type Undefined first referenced symbol in file main /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/crt1.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

Xymon New Server Advice
by mv652＠softhome.net 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi, I have two main questions but thought it best to split them up in two separate mails. My first question is regarding an 'upgrade' or 'new install' of Xymon. I've been using Xymon 4.2.3 on a 'test' system for the past few months. Now that I feel more comfortable working with the system, creating external scripts etc. I'd like to move it into a 'production' server. a) Which Linux distribution is known to be the most stable to manage the Xymon server. Note* - I don't want to start any flame wars regarding various distributions, just an honest assesment of the distribution that should give me least problems with binaries, dependancies etc. b) Is the 4.3.0 beta 2 version stable enough to put into production? Are there any major known issues I need to be aware of? c) Would you recommend an upgrade or rather a clean install of the Xymon server? - I'm not too concerned about losing the past months stats at this stage. d) Is there anything else I need to take into consideration? Thanks, Mario
