Re: how to install BackupPC on CentOS 5.2 -- use Testing repository

What's a protect base?

I added the Test repository to my yum.conf and then I was able to just
yum it in.  I bet you already had the Test repository in your yum
config, dnk.

Thanks for your reply!

Aleksey

Here is what I added to /etc/yum.conf:

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64
enabled=1

You need to poke around in the CentOS documentation first - most of
the questions you raised are answered there.

BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.2 triggers SE Linux denial

Hi.   I've installed BackupPC 3.1.0 from Testing repository, to Cent
OS 5.2 x86_64, and I am hitting an SE Linux denial - the httpd cannot
talk to the BackupPC socket:

type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc:  denied  {
connectto } for  pid=11767 comm=httpd
path=/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket

type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc:  denied  {
write } for  pid=11767 comm=httpd name=BackupPC.sock dev=md0
ino=39813253 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=sock_file

Is there an easy way to fix this, like setting the BackupPC.sock file
universally writeable?  I don't know SE Linux and right now my
objective is to get BackupPC up and running.

I've turned SE Linux off for now, but that's temporary until I get a
more targeted fix.

Thanks,
Aleksey

Remounting a USB flash drive

I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount
it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back
in.

Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the
unplug and plug back in physics?

Thanks.

Re: Remounting a USB flash drive

Yes.

mount diskid

where diskid is your disk device id, e.g. /dev/sdg1

You can find out what it is by running

mount

while the disk is mounted, or by checking /var/log/messages, to see
what disk ID was assigned to it when the device was first plugged in.

You might need to specify a mount-point (where the device should be mounted),

e.g. :   mount /dev/sdg1  /media/flashdrive

Hope this helps,
Aleksey

Better to use Priorities!

<http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities>

<http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories>

Set up the Repositories you want to use and set a Priority for each Repository,
to protect your system.
