Aggiornamento audit
The audit packages contain user-space utilities for storing and searching the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.
These updated packages upgrade the auditd daemon and its utilities to the newer upstream version 1.7.7, which provides the following enhancements over the previous version:
  • the auditctl program, which is used to control the behavior of the audit subsystem, now supports multiple keys in the audit rules.
  • a new utility, ausyscall, which is used to cross-reference syscall name and number information, is now provided in these updated packages.
  • the aureport program has been enhanced to provide reports about keys it sees in audit events.
  • event log parsing for the ausearch and aureport programs has been improved.
  • a sample STIG rules file, named "stig.rules", is newly provided in these updated packages. This file contains the auditctl rules which are loaded whenever the audit daemon is started by init scripts.
In addition to the listed enhancements, these updated audit packages also include a new feature to allow a server to aggregate the logs of remote systems. The following instructions can be followed to enable this feature:
  1. The audispd-plugins package should be installed on all clients (but need not be installed on the server), and the parameters for "remote_server" and "port" should be set in the /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf configuration file.
  2. On the server, which aggregates the logs, the "tcp_listen_port" parameter in the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file must be set to the same port number as the clients.
  3. Because the auditd daemon is protected by SELinux, semanage (the SELinux policy management tool) must also have the same port listed in its database. If the server and client machines had all been configured to use port 1000, for example, then running this command would accomplish this: 
    semanage port -a -t audit_port_t -p tcp 1000

  4. The final step in configuring remote log aggregation is to edit the /etc/hosts.allow configuration file to inform tcp_wrappers which machines or subnets the auditd daemon should allow connections from.
wpa_supplicant re-base
wpa_supplicant has been re-based to the latest upstream stable version 0.5.10 and include backported fixes for a number of issues that may affect users of wireless drivers that depend on the kernel's mac80211 wireless stack. Specific fixes and enhancements include:
  • Support for a D-Bus control interface has been added. D-Bus is a popular lightweight Inter-Process Communication mechanism, and the addition of this control interface to wpa_supplicant allows applications (like NetworkManager) to more reliably control the supplicant.
  • Cisco Aironet 340/350 wireless cards were not able to successfully connect to 802.1x-enabled wireless networks, often used in security sensitive organizations. During the connection process at the 4-Way WPA handshake stage, sending encryption keys to the driver would clear the wireless card firmware's authentication state. With this update, the supplicant uses an alternate method of supplying encryption keys to the kernel driver, allowing authentication state to be preserved in the Aironet firmware and 802.1x connections to succeed.
  • Kernel drivers utilizing the new mac80211 wireless stack were sometimes unable to connect to wireless networks, either failing to find the requested network, or prematurely ending communication with the wireless access point during the connection process. Some drivers were prone to reporting multiple disconnection events during the association process, confusing the supplicant and causing long timeouts. The supplicant also did not sufficiently instruct the driver to disconnect when switching access points. This update fixes these issues and, in conjunction with kernel driver updates, allow more wireless hardware to successfully connect to wireless networks.
NetworkManager re-base
NetworkManager has been updated to version 0.7.0. This update provides the following fixes and enhancements:
  • NetworkManager would not display a LEAP password, even when the user selected the "show password" option. This has been fixed through a rebase to NetworkManager 0.7.
  • During the beta phase, a version of NetworkManager was unable to automatically start network interfaces for which "ONBOOT=no" was present in the ifcfg file. NetworkManager now ignores this value unless "NM_RESPECT_ONBOOT=yes" is also present.
  • a NetworkManager plug-in was named for its upstream repository. This could cause end-users to mistake the plug-in for an un-supported addition to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This plug-in has been renamed to "ifcfg-rh".
  • with this update, support has been added to NetworkManager for wired 802.1x authentication. However, after creating an 802.1x-enabled wired connection in the NetworkManager connection editor, it may be necessary to log out, then log back in before the connection can be used from the NetworkManager applet menu.
  • NetworkManager attempted to set a hostname, but only after X had already done so. The user could not then open new windows because the authority files had been set by X with a different hostname. NetworkManager no longer sets hostnames.
  • an update for NetworkManager that was available in the beta phase would change the run level enablement of the package during installation, and thus prevent NetworkManager from starting. NetworkManager no longer changes run level enablements during installation.
  • on a system with more than one network adapter, network keys saved by the user while connecting with one adapter would not be available when the user attempted to connect with the other adapter. NetworkManager can now retrieve and use network keys saved for a different adapter on the same network.
  • previously, NetworkManager would not always prompt the user for a new network key if the protocol or key of a wireless network changed. Although NetworkManager would wait for a new key, it would not always open a dialog box and allow the user to provide one. NetworkManager will now open a dialog box when needed.
  • several bug fixes and enhancements for NetworkManager were available upstream. NetworkManager has been rebased to version 0.7 to incorporate these improvements, including mobile broadband functionality, Phase2 WPA support, and static IP functionality.
  • NetworkManager would would cause a segmentation fault when resuming a session. This was caused by the HAL dropping privileges before connecting to D-Bus, meaning that the HAL could not send signals to NetworkManager. NetworkManager now explicitly permits signals from the HAL.
  • sometimes, X would freeze if the NetworkManager menu and a keyring manager window were open at the same time. This updated package includes a patch from upstream that prevents this behavior.
  • if NetworkManager requires a network key from the user, it will open a pop-up window. However, the applet previously could not steal focus from metacity and would remain in the background. The window was therefore not obvious to the user. The applet now opens in the foreground, alerting the user to take action.
  • when resuming, NetworkManager could sometimes re-establish a wireless connection, but not a route. A fix for this problem from upstream has been included in this update.
  • NetworkManager did not previously support Cisco Airo Wi-Fi cards, as these devices did not respond to NetworkManager's attempts to detect them. NetworkManager can now detect and use these cards.
  • the NetworkManager applet would wake up and redraw its icon once per second, even when NetworkManager was not active. Now, the applet will not wake up unless NetworkManager is running.
  • NetworkManager 0.7 connects faster than libnotify can provide a notification bubble. When this happens, the bubble will appear at the top left corner of the screen, rather than under the taskbar. NetworkManager notification bubbles are now delayed for a few seconds, allowing libnotify to react.
dbus-glib re-base
The dbus-glib integration library has been re-based to version 0.73.8 This update provides support to updated versions of NetworkManager and also implements the following bugfix and enhancements
  • cleanup of the DBusGProxy objects treated pending remote method calls incorrectly and may have resulted in freeing invalid memory. Consequently, processes using DBusGProxy objects may have crashed when the DBusGProxy object was freed. With this update dbus-glib correctly handles the destruction of DBusGProxy objects, resolving this issue.
  • two new function calls, dbus_g_proxy_call_with_timeout and dbus_g_proxy_begin_call_with_timeout, have been added to dbus-glib providing the ability to specify a timeout when making a request to a remote service.
  • dbus-binding-tool now ignores namespaced Extensible Markup Language (XML) nodes when processing introspection definition files.
Aggiornamento di sudo
sudo è stato aggiornato alla versione upstream 1.6.9. Questa versione di sudo supporta ora LDAP, e permette una ricerca di alberi secondari invece di avere la sola ricerca di base (es. solo livello-albero) per i diritti di sudo. Ciò permette agli amministratori di categorizzare i diritti di sudo in un albero, rendendo i privilegi di un utente più facili da gestire.

Nota

the env_reset sudoers option from newer sudo will reset the PATH environment variable. This is different from the behaviour in sudo-1.9.8. To keep the old behaviour simply add PATH variable into env_keep in sudoers file.
LVM-based Cluster mirroring
With this update, the ability to create LVM mirrors in a cluster environment (i.e. while using CLVM) is now available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux It provides for simultaneous access from multiple cluster machines, like when using a cluster-aware file system. This solution is compatible with existing single-machine mirrors. When switching a mirrored logical volume between single-machine and cluster-aware, no resynchronization is necessary.

1.2. Resolved Issues
Copia collegamento

  • system-config-network requires the fonts provided with xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 in order to display. However, this fonts package was not previously set as a dependency for system-config-network and it was therefore possible (for example, in the case of a minimal installation) for system-config-network to be present on a system and yet unable to function because these fonts were missing. This update sets xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 as a dependency for system-config-network to ensure that these fonts will be available and that system-config-network will display correctly.
  • In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, a 64-bit version of httpd was included in addition to the existing 32-bit httpd in the PowerPC architecture. If a user installed both versions, an httpd conflict would occur, preventing httpd from functioning properly.
    To resolve this issue, the 64-bit version of httpd has been removed from this release. Any systems with the previous 64-bit version of httpd installed should remove the package before upgrade.

1.3. Driver Updates
Copia collegamento

  • the SCSI device handler infrastructure (scsi_dh) has been updated, providing added support for LSI RDAC SCSI based storage devices.
  • the tg3 driver for Broadcom Tigon3 ethernet devices has been updated to version 3.93. This applies several upstream changes for new hardware. However, the 5785 hardware is not fully supported. This device may be detected by the driver, but lack of PHY support may cause these chips to not function correctly and may require the user disable any on-board 5785 cards in the system BIOS.
  • scsi-target-utils now features iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER), which is based on the Linux Target (tgt) framework. iSER is included in this release as a Technology Preview, and provides capabilities for both single and multiple portals on different subnets. Note, however, that there are known bugs with using multiple portals on the same subnet.
    To set up an iSER target component, install the scsi-target-utils and libibverbs-devel packages. The corresponding library package for your system's Infiniband hardware is also required. For example, in HCAs that use the cxgb3 driver the libcxgb3 package is needed, and for HCAs using the mthca driver the libmthca package is need.
  • The MPT Fusion driver has been updated to version 3.04.06, providing the following bugfixes and enhancements:
    • Previously, the MPT Fusion driver always allocated I/O resources, even if they were not required, which may have caused issues in low resource environments. With this update, the driver now uses the pci_enable_device_mem and pci_enable_device functions to differentiate the resource allocations.
    • Previously, the kernel would panic when the mptsas and mptcl modules were loaded in parallel. With this update, this issue has been resolved.
    • Previously, system power state changes (such as hibernation and standby) were not functioning correctly with 106XE controllers. With this update, the driver has been modified to free and allocate resources in power management entry points.

1.4. Virtualization
Copia collegamento

  • È stato corretto un bug in IDE/ATA driver stack il quale impediva l'avvio nell'ambiente kdump ad un sistema che utilizzava kernel-xen. Nelle versioni precedenti tale situazione si verificava se il sistema incontrava un kernel panic durante l'esecuzione di un I/O di un dispositivo IDE, e se lo stesso dispositivo veniva controllato da un driver del dispositivo diverso da libata.
  • A softlockup may have occurred when creating a guest with a large amount of memory. Consequently, a call trace of the error was displayed on both the dom0 and the other guest. In this update, this issue has been resolved.
  • On systems with large amounts of memory (ie 256GB or more), setting up the dom0 could exhaust the hypervisor memory heap. To work around this, the xenheap and dom0_size command line arguments had to be set to valid values for the system. In this update, the hypervisor has been updated to automatically set these values to a default of 32GB, which resolves this issue.
  • Due to technical problems with passing TX checksum offload information between paravirtual domains, the use of TX checksum offload in conjunction with NAT for traffic originating from another domain is not supported. TX checksum offload can be used together with NAT as long as the NAT rule is applied in the domain where the traffic originates.
    Note that this also applies to fully virtualised domains using paravirtual network drivers. Fully virtualised domains using fully virtualised drivers are not affected as they do not support TX checksum offload at all.

1.5. Known Issues
Copia collegamento

  • Previous versions of the 5.3 Release Notes stated that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM unit on Dell PowerEdge R905 servers does not work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This note was included by error, and does not apply to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
  • kdump now serializes drive creation registration with the rest of the kdump process. Consequently, kdump may hang waiting for IDE drives to be initialized. In these cases, it is recommended that IDE disks not be used with kdump.
  • Improvements have been made to the 'nv' driver, enhancing suspend and resume support on some systems equipped with nVidia GeForce 8000 and 9000 series devices. Due to technical limitations, this will not enable suspend/resume on all hardware.
  • pirut sorts some package lists using the textual representation of a package, which is inconsistent with the textual representation method used in yum. As such, some package lists (e.g. Optional Packages list) in pirut may not display names in alphabetical order.
  • The Hypervisor outputs messages regarding attempts by any guest to write to an MSR. Such messages contain the statement Domain attempted WRMSR. These messages can be safely ignored; furthermore, they are rate limited and should pose no performance risk.
  • When upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Workstation to 5 Server, OpenOffice will no longer work correctly with SELinux. This is because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version of OpenOffice is built using an incorrect library. As a result, SELinux will prevent OpenOffice from accessing any shared libraries, causing OpenOffice to fail.
    To work around this, update the SELinux context to allow OpenOffice to access shared libraries. To do so, run the following commands:
    semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/ooo-1.1(/.*)?'
    semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib64/ooo-1.1(/.*)?'
    restorecon -Rv /usr/lib/ooo-1.19
    restorecon -Rv /usr/lib64/ooo-1.19
    Alternatively, you can also upgrade your OpenOffice to a correct version compatible with SELinux in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. You can do this by subscribing to the "Productivity App" child channel in Red Hat Network and running the following command:
    yum install openoffice-{base,calc,draw,emailmerge,graphicfilter,headless,impress,javafilter,math,pyuno,writer,xsltfilter}
  • If jumbo frames are enabled on your system, a kernel panic will occur if you attempt to unload the bnx2 module.
  • Red Hat advises that you avoid removing a block device from a guest while the device is in use. Doing so causes Xend to lose domain information for the guest.
  • Accessing the right-click menu of the NetworkManager GNOME applet may cause the GNOME Keyring Unlock dialog to appear. When this occurs, no XII applications can receive keyboard or mouse input.
    To recover from this, switch to a virtual terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1. Log in as the affected user (or root) and run killall -9 nm-applet. Then, switch back to X11 using Ctrl+Alt+F7. Your system should be able to receive keyboard and mouse input, although Red Hat recommends that you logout and login again to allow the system to fully recover.
  • On Altix systems with an ATI FireMV graphics adapter, the GUI console may not display on one of the VGA connectors. To workaround this issue, switch to using the other VGA connector on the dongle.
  • It has been determined that 1024 byte objects in kernel slab may be lost when a call to pipe() fails. The problem occurs because pipe() allocates pipe files, and then tries to get free file descriptors for them. If the process is out of file descriptors, pipe() fails, but it does not clean up properly. A fix for this problem is planned for a forthcoming 5.3 kernel update.
    To workaround this issue, ensure that the process calling do_pipe has adequate file descriptors allocated.
    This issue has been observed with multipathd in particular. To avoid the problem with multipathd, calculate the number of file descriptors (FDs) required using the formula: "FDs = Number of Paths + 32". If the result is greater than the default value of 1024, then the max_fds value in the defaults section of multipath.conf should be set to the previously calculated value. For example, if there are 255 LUNs with 8 paths each, the line to be added to the defaults section of multipath.conf would be: 
    	max_fds  2072

  • The libcmpiutil-devel package depends on tog-pegasus-devel, which for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop product is only available from the Workstation option. Therefore, any attempt to install the libcmpiutil-devel package on a system that does not have a Subscription including the Workstation option or is not subscribed to the Workstation channel on the Red Hat Network, will fail with an unresolved dependency error.
  • It is possible in rare circumstances, for makedumpfile to produce erroneous results but not have them reported. This is due to the fact that makedumpfile processes its output data through a pipeline consisting of several stages. If makedumpfile fails, the other stages will still succeed, effectively masking the failure. Should a vmcore appear corrupt, and makedumpfile is in use, it is recommended that the core be recorded without makedumpfile and a bug be reported.
  • An issue may be encountered when using system-config-cluster to configure a Postgres 8 resource agent, resulting in the postgresql service failing to start. To include a Postgres resource agent in your cluster, please check the man page for the agent, and edit the cluster.conf file in an editor, then update the cluster with the new configuration file using the appropriate cman_tool command.
  • Due to outstanding driver issues with hardware encryption acceleration, users of Intel WiFi Link 4965, 5100, 5150, 5300, and 5350 wireless cards are advised to disable hardware accelerated encryption using module parameters. Failure to do so may result in the inability to connect to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protected wireless networks after connecting to WiFi Protected Access (WPA) protected wireless networks.
    To do so, add the following options to /etc/modprobe.conf: 
    alias wlan0 iwlagn
options iwlagn swcrypto50=1 swcrypto=1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    (where wlan0 is the default interface name of the first Intel WiFi Link device)
  • kdump now restarts when CPUs or DIMMs are hot-added to a system. If multiple items are added at the same time, several sequential restarts may be encountered. This behavior is intentional, as it minimizes the time-frame where a crash may occur while memory or processors are not being tracked by kdump.

1.6. Technology Previews

Software based Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) driver (fcoe.ko), along with libfc, provides the ability to run FCoE over a standard Ethernet card. This capability is provided as a technical preview in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
To enable this feature, you must login by writing the network interface name to the /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create file, for example: 
echo eth6 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
To logout, write the network interface name to the /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/destroy file, for example: 
echo eth6 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/destroy
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
For further information on software based FCoE refer to: http://www.open-fcoe.org/openfc/wiki/index.php/FCoE_Initiator_Quickstart.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 offre un supporto completo per FCoE su tre implementazioni hardware specializzate. Tali modalità sono: il driver Cisco fnic , il driver Emulex lpfc , e il driver Qlogic qla2xx .
iSER Support
iSER support, allowing for block storage transfer across a network, has been added to the scsi-target-utils package as a Technology Preview. In this release, single portal and multiple portals on different subnets are supported. There are known bugs when using multiple portals on the same subnet.
To set up the iSER target component install the scsi-target-utils and libibverbs-devel RPM. The library package for the InfiniBand hardware that is being used is also required. For example: host channel adapters that use the cxgb3 driver the libcxgb3 package is needed, and for host channel adapters using the mthca driver the libmthca package is needed.
There is also a known issue relating to connection timeouts in some situations. Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla #470627 for more information on this issue.

3. Feature Updates
Copia collegamento

Cifratura del dispositivo a blocchi
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 include il supporto per la cifratura dei dispositivi a blocchi utilizzando le specifiche Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS). Con la cifratura di un dispositivo è possibile proteggere tutti i dati presenti su di un dispositivo a blocchi, impedendo gli accessi non autorizzati anche se il dispositivo è stato fisicamente rimosso da un sistema. Per accedere ai contenuti di un dispositivo cifrato l'utente deve fornire una frase segreta o una chiave per l'autenticazione.
Per informazioni su come impostare la cifratura del disco consultare il Capitolo 28 della la Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide: http://redhat.com/docs/
mac80211 802.11a/b/g WiFi stack protocollo (mac80211)
Lo stack mac80211 (precedentemente noto come stack devicescape/d80211 ) è ora una funzione supportata in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. Abilita il driver wireless iwlwifi 4965GN per l'hardware Intel® WiFi Link 4965 che consente a determinati dispositivi wireless di collegarsi a qualsiasi rete WiFi.
Anche se il componente mac80211 è supportato in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, i simboli non sono inclusi nel whitelist dei simboli del kernel.
Global File System 2 (GFS2)
GFS2 rappresenta un miglioramento di GFS. Questo aggiornamento implementa miglioramenti rilevanti che necessitano di una modifica al formato del file system sul disco. I file system GFS possono essere convertiti in GFS2 utilizzando l'utilità gfs2_convert, la quale aggiorna i metadati di un file system GFS.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, GFS2 è stato fornito come modulo del kernel per processi di valutazione. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, GFS2 è già parte del pacchetto del kernel. Il programma d'installazione rimuoverà automaticamente i moduli del kernel GFS2 precedenti durante il processo di aggiornamento.
Miglioramenti del supporto per il Driver Disk
Un driver disk, fornito da un OEM, è un file immagine singolo (*.img), esso contenente moduli potenziali del kernel e RPM del driver. I driver vengono utilizzati durante l'installazione per supportare l'hardware che altrimenti non verrebbe riconosciuto. Gli RPM sono installati sul sistema e posizionati nella initrd, in questo modo essi vengono supportati quando la macchina esegue il riavvio.
Con Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 l'installazione può rilevare automaticamente la presenza di un driver disk in base all'etichetta del suo file system, ed utilizzare il contenuto di quel disco durante l'installazione. Questo comportamento è controllato dall'opzione della linea di comando per l'installaizone dlabel=on, la quale permette una ricerca automatica. Tutti i dispositivi a blocchi con l'etichetta del file system OEMDRV vengono esaminati, ed i driver vengono caricati da dispositivi nell'ordine incontrato.
Tabella iSCSI Boot Firmware
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 supporta ora la iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) la quale permette un avvio dai dispositivi iSCSI. Con questo supporto i dischi iSCSI (nodi) non vengono più contrassegnati in modo da avviarsi automaticamente; il sistema installato non si collegherà più automaticamente ai dischi iSCSI al momento dell'ingrasso nei runlevel 3 o 5.
iSCSI viene generalmente usato per il filesystem root, in questo caso la modifica non comporta alcuna differenza, poichè initrd eseguirà il login ed il collegamento ai dischi iSCSI necessari prima di entrare nel runlevel.
Tuttavia se i dischi iSCSI devono essere montati su directory non-root, per esempio /home o /srv, questa modifica avrà un suo impatto poichè il sistema installato non eseguirà più un collegamento automatico ed un login sui dischi iSCSI non usati per il filesystem root.
È ancora possibile usare i dischi iSCSI montati su directory non root, ma per fare questo sarà necessario usare una delle seguenti soluzioni:
  1. Installare il sistema senza utilizzare i dischi iSCSI montati sulle directory non root, e configurare successivamente i dischi rilevanti ed i mount point manualmente
  2. Avviare il sistema installato nel runlevel 1, e segnare ogni disco iSCSI non usati per il filesystem root per l'avvio automatico, utilizzando una sola volta il seguente comando per ogni disco:
    iscsiadm -m node -T target-name -p ip:port -o update -n node.startup -v automatic
rhythmbox
il riproduttore audio rhythmbox è stato aggiornato alla versione 0.11.6. Questo aggiornamento fornisce la possibilità di utilizzare plugin GStreamer proprietari.
Aggiornamento di lftp
lftp è stato aggiornato alla versione 3.7.1. Ciò applica numerosi bug fix ed aggiornamenti, incluso:
  • È stato corretto un precedente difetto relativo alla sicurezza nel modo in cui lftp quotava gli script generati da mirror --script (il quale poteva causare una escalation di privilegi non autorizzati).
  • L'utilizzo di lftp con l'opzione -c non causa più la sospensione di lftp.
  • lftp non corrompe più i file durante il trasferimento utilizzando sftp.
For more information on lftp updates applied in this release, refer to http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html.
TTY Input Auditing
Il TTY input auditing è ora supportato. Se un processo viene contrassegnato per il TTY input auditing, verrà eseguito l'audit dei dati letti da TTY; ciò verrà mostrato sui record di audit con tipoligia TTY.
È possibile utilizzare il modulo pam_tty_audit per contrassegnare un processo (insieme ai suoi processi figlio) per il TTY input auditing. Per informazioni su come eseguire tale processo consultare man pam_tty_audit(8).
I record di TTY audit contengono la sequenza dei tasti esatta letta dal processo sul quale è stato eseguito audit. Per facilitare la decodifica del dati, bash esegue l'audit della riga esatta del comando utilizzando il tipo di record USER_TTY.
The "TTY" audit records contain all data read by audited processes from the TTY. This includes data inserted into the input stream by the TIOCSTI ioctl system call.
Aggiornmento di SystemTap
SystemTap è stato aggiornato alla versione 0.7.2. Questo aggiornamento di SystemTap introduce numerosi piccoli aggiornamenti, insieme all'introduzione di alcune caratteristiche importanti. Queste nuove caratteristiche includono:
  • SystemTap supporta ora il probing simbolico su architetture x86, x86-64 e PowerPC. Questo permette agli script SystemTap di posizionare i probe nelle applicazioni dello spazio utente e nelle librerie condivise. Come risultato SystemTap può ora fornire lo stesso livello di debugger probing su alcune applicazioni dello spazio utente del kernel probing.
    Per esempio, se è stato installato coreutils-debuginfo sarà possibile stampare un callgraph del comando ls utilizzando /usr/share/doc/systemtap-version/examples/general/callgraph.stp:
    stap para-callgraph.stp 'process("ls").function("*")' -c 'ls -l'
    In order to reduce the likelihood of an undetected version mismatch between the binary and its debuginfo RPMs, Red Hat advises that you set the SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH environment variable to the value +:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build.
    SystemTap's support for symbolic probes also extends to markers placed into the kernel of this release. To use these markers, load the kernel-trace kernel module in /etc/rc.local (using modprobe kernel-trace).
  • SystemTap supporta anche i servizi di compilazione remota. Questo permette ad un computer presente sulla rete, di comportarsi come un server debuginfo/compiler per client SystemTap locali. I client identificano automaticamente il server utilizzando mDNS (avahi), e necessita per funzionare solo dei pacchetti systemtap-client e systemtap-runtime.
    Al momento questa caratteristica non utilizza i meccanismi di sicurezza come la cifratura. Per questo motivo è consigliabile utilizzare i servizi di compilazione remota solo all'interno di reti fidate. Per maggiori informazioni consultare man stap-server.
  • Per questa release l'aggiornamento del kernel include una estensione API del kernel, la quale migliora sensibilmente l'arresto degli scirpt SystemTap. L'aggiunta di questa estensione API del kernel elimina la sincronizzazione non necessaria tra operazioni di rimozione probe individuali. Come risultato, gli script SystemTap che presentano centinaia di probe del kernel vengono processati molto più velocemente.
    Ciò è molto utile per gli amministratori che utilizzano script con probe contenenti wildcard in grado di catturare numerosi eventi del kernel, come ad esempio probe syscall.* {}.
Per un elenco completo di aggiornamenti SystemTap inclusi in questa release, consultare il seguente URL:
http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob_plain;f=NEWS;hb=rhel53
Aggiornamento del Cluster Manager
L'utilità del Cluster Manager (cman) è stato aggiornato alla versione 2.0.97. Questo aggiornamento contiene diversi bug fix e miglioramenti, ed in particolare:
  • cman ora utilizza le seguenti versioni di firmware: APC AOS v3.5.7 and APC rpdu v3.5.6. Questo corregge un bug che impediva a APC 7901 di utilizzare in modo corretto il simple network management protocol (SNMP).
  • fence_drac, fence_ilo, fence_egenera, e fence_bladecenter ora supportano ssh.
  • I file della chiave fence_xvmd possono essere ricaricati senza il riavvio.
  • Un metodo 'single fence' può ora supportare fino a 8 dispositivi fence.
Aggiornamento RPM
Il RedHat Package Manager (RPM) è stato aggiornato alla versione upstream di Fedora 9. rpm aggiunge i file macro specifici all'architettura secondari su sistemi con architetture multiple. In aggiunta, rpm soddisfa ora tutti i criteri di certificazione per la sua inclusione in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Questo aggiornamento applica diversi miglioramenti dell'upstream e bug fix per rpm, incluso:
  • rpm non genera più file .rpmnew e .rpmsave non necessari su sistemi con architetture multiple.
  • Un bug nella funzione rpmgiNext() di rpm impediva il riporto corretto degli errori. Questo aggiornamento applica le semantiche corrette per il riporto dell'errore, assicurando quindi un ritorno da parte di rpm, di un codice di uscita corretto in tutte le istanze.
Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) / opensm
opensm è stato aggiornato alla versione upstream 3.2, incluso una modifica minore alle API della libreria opensm.
  • Il formato del file opensm.conf è stato modificato. Se avete eseguito una modifica personalizzata sul vostro opensm.conf, rpm installerà automaticamente il nuovo file opensm.conf come /etc/ofed/opensm.conf.rpmnew. A tal proposito sarà necessario migrare le modifiche apportate al file, e sostituire il file opensm.conf esistente con il risultato ottenuto.
  • Red Hat controlla attentamente la base del codice Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) dell'upstream, in modo da fornire un livello elevato di permessi per questa tecnologia in evoluzione. Di conseguenza Red Hat potrà solo conservare la compatibilità API/ABI tra versioni minori allo stesso modo dell'upstream. Ciò risulta essere una eccezione della prassi usata nello sviluppo di Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
    Per questo motivo le applicazioni compilate al di sopra dello stack OFED (di seguito elencato), potrebbero richiedere una ricompilazione oppure una modifica del codice del livello-sorgente durante la migrazione da una versione minore di Red Hat Enterprise Linux ad una versione più recente.
    Questo processo generalmente non è necessario per altre applicazioni compilate sul Red Hat Enterprise Linux software stack. I componenti interessati sono:
    • dapl
    • compat-dapl
    • ibsim
    • ibutils
    • infiniband-diags
    • libcxgb3
    • libehca

Aggiornamento di Net-SNMP
Net-SNMP has been re-based to upstream version 5.3.2.2. This update adds Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) support (as per RFC 3873, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3873.txt) and introduces two new configuration options (to be used in /etc/snmpd.conf):
  • dontLogTCPWrappersConnects — sopprime il login dei tentativi di collegamento.
  • v1trapaddress — enables administrators to set an agent's IP address inside outgoing SNMP traps.
Questo aggiornamento applica anche numerosi miglioramenti provenienti dall'upstream, incluso:
  • Il demone snmpd ora funziona correttamente sui sistemi con più di 255 interfacce di rete. In aggiunta, snmpd riporta anche un errore se configurato in modo da essere in ascolto su qualsiasi porta maggiore di 65535.
  • È stata corretta una condizione di corse critiche che causava la perdita dei descrittori del file da parte del demone snmpd, durante la lettura da /proc.
  • Il demone snmpd ora riporta correttamente gli hrProcessorLoad object ID (OID), anche su hardware con CPU multiple. Da notare tuttavia che sarà necessario attendere un minuto dall'avvio del demone, per calcolare il valore dell'OID.
  • Il pacchetto net-snmp-devel è ora dipendente dal pacchetto lm_sensors-devel.
Aggiornamento di OpenSSL per la certificazione FIPS
I pacchetti openssl aggiornano la libreria OpenSSL ad una versione nuova dell'upstream, la quale è attualmente sottoposta ad un proceso di convalida del Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS-140-2). La modalità FIPS è disabilitata per impostazione predefinita per assicurare il mantenimento, da parte della libreria OpenSSL, delle caratteristiche e della compatibilità ABI con le versioni precedenti dei pacchetti openssl in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Questo aggiornamento applica le seguenti correzioni dell'upstream:
  • Per default la compressione zlib viene usata per i collegamenti SSL e TLS. Su architetture IBM System z con il Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF), il processo di compressione è diventato la parte principale (e non la velocità di cifratura). Quando la compressione risulta disabilitata, la prestazione totale è molto più elevata. In questi pacchetti aggiornati, la compressione zlib per i collegamenti SSL e TLS, può essere disabilitata con la variabile dell'ambiente OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB. Per collegamenti TLS su di una rete molto lenta è consigliato abilitare la compressione, in questo modo la quantità di dati da trasferire è più bassa.
  • Quando si utilizzava il comando openssl con le opzioni s_client e s_server, il file dei certificati CA predefiniti (/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt), non veniva letto. Tale tendenza risultava in un fallimento della verifica dei certificati. Per la verifica dei certificati era necessario utilizzare l'opzione -CAfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt. Con i pacchetti aggiornati il file dei certificati CA predefinito viene letto senza alcun problema, senza specificare l'opzione -CAfile.
Aggiornamento di yum
yum è stato aggiornato alla versione upstream 3.2.18. Questo aggiornamento migliora la velocità alla quale yum opera, alleviando quindi il problema posto dal crescente numero di pacchetti inclusi con ogni release minore. In aggiunta, questo aggiornamento introduce anche il comando reinstall, migliora l'interfaccia di diversi comandi ed applica numerosi bug fix incluso:
  • Qualsiasi comando di yum fallisce se l'opzione -c è stata usata per specificare un file di configurazione che risiede in un indirizzo web (http). Questo bug è stato ora corretto.
  • Una funzione checkSignal() in yum richiamava una funzione d'uscita incorretta; per questo, l'uscita da yum risultava in un messaggio di traceback. Con questa release yum esegue l'abbandono in modo corretto.
Aggiornamento del flash-plugin
Il pacchetto flash-plugin è stato aggiornato alla versione 10.0.12.36. Il suddetto aggiornamento applica numerose correzioni relative alla sicurezza incluse nel precedente aggiornamento ASYNC flash-plugin. Altresì, il suddetto plugin contiene anche Adobe Flash Player 10, il quale include i seguenti bug fix e miglioramenti:
  • Stabilità migliorata sulla piattaforma Linux attraverso la correzione di una corsa critica nell'output sonoro.
  • Nuovo supporto per i filtri personalizzati ed effeti, trasformazione 3D nativa e animazione, processazione audio avanzata ed un nuovo e più flessibile motore di testo e accelerazione hardware GPU.
Per maggiori informazioni su questo aggiornamento consultare le note di rilascio di Adobe Flash Player 10 al seguente link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/10/Flash_Player_10_Release_Notes.pdf
Aggiornamento di gdb
gdb è stato aggiornato alla versione 6.8. La nuova versione applica diversi aggiornamenti e bug fix, ed in particolare: un supporto per i breakpoint all'interno dei template C++, costruttori e funzioni inline.
For more information on gdb updates applied in this release, refer to http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/NEWS?rev=1.259.2.1&cvsroot=src.
Instruction Based Sampling sui processori AMD Family10h
È stato aggiunto un nuovo supporto dell'hardware profiling per i processori AMD Family10h con Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. I nuovi AMD CPU supportano l'Instruction Based Sampling (IBS). Il supporto IBS necessita di modifiche al driver oProfile per ottenere informazioni ed inizializzare i nuovi Model Specific Registers (MSR) associati con queste nuove caratteristiche.
Questo aggiornamento aggiunge i nuovi esempi di profiling IBS_FETCH e IBS_OP ai buffer CPU, e gli event buffer del driver oProfile. Sono state aggiunte altresì nuove voci su /dev/oprofile per il controllo dell'IBS sampling. Queste modifiche sono compatibili con le versioni precedenti di PMC del driver, ed un patch separato è disponibile per oProfile 0.9.3, per l'utilizzo dei nuovi dati.
Per maggiori informazioni su IBS consultare: Instruction-Based Sampling: Nuova tecnica per l'analisi delle prestazioni per i processori AMD Family 10h, 19 Novembre 2007
Aggiornamento di Squid
Squid è stato modificato alla ultimissima versione upstream stabile (STABLE21). Questo aggiornamento risolve diversi bug, incluso:
  • Lo script squid init ritornava sempre incorrettamente un codice d'uscita 0. Questo bug è stato corretto, ed ora rende squid conforme al Linux Standard Base.
  • L'utilizzo della direttiva refresh_stale_hit genera un messaggio d'errore Clock going backwards nel file di log squid.
  • Il processo d'installazione di squid non impostava correttamente l'ownership della directory /usr/local/squid. Con questa release l'utente di squid è ora il possessore predefinito di /usr/local/squid.
  • Ogni qualvolta squid tenta di utilizzare la funzione hash_lookup(), esso potrebbe abortire il processo generando un messaggio signal 6.
  • L'utilizzo di squid_unix_group potrebbe causare un arresto inaspettato di squid.
Event Multi-Processing Model in Apache
httpd, il pacchetto Apache HTTP Server ora include l'evento sperimentale Multi-Processing Model (MPM). Questo MPM migliora le prestazioni attraverso l'utilizzo di thread appositi per la gestione dei collegamenti keepalive.
Aggiornamento di libgomp
libgomp è stato aggiornato alla versione 4.3.2-7.el5. La nuova versione migliora le prestazioni di OpenMP ed aggiunge supporto per la versione 3.0 di OpenMP se usato con il compilatore gcc43.
iSCSI target capability
La iSCSI target capability presente come parte del framework Linux Target (tgt), da Technology Preview è ora completamente supportata con Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. Il linux target framework permette ad un sistema di servire un block-level SCSI storage ad altri sistemi che presentano un inizializzatore SCSI. Questa capacità è stata inizialmente implementata come un Linux iSCSI target, rendendo disponibile lo storage attraverso la rete a qualsiasi inizializzatore iSCSI.
Per impostare iSCSI target, installare l'RPM scsi-target-utils e consultare le istruzioni presenti in: /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[version]/README and /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[version]/README.iscsi

This section contains information about updates made to Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite of Virtualization tools.

6.1. Feature Updates
Copia collegamento

  • Il toolkit dello spazio utente blktap (blocktap) è stato aggiornato in modo da fornire la funzionalità di controllo delle statistiche di trasferimento dei blktap backed virtualized guest.
  • È stato aggiunto il supporto per la caratteristica Intel Extended Page Table (EPT), migliorando così le prestazioni di guest completamente virtualizzati su hardware che supporta EPT.
  • Con questo aggiornamento è stato aggiunto l'emulazione del dispositivo di rete e1000 per i guest, con il solo supporto dei guest Windows 2003 su architetture ia64. Per utilizzare l'emulazione e1000 è necessario usare il comando xm.
  • I driver per virtio, la piattaforma per la virtualizzazione I/O in KVM, sono stati modificati ed aggiornati a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 da Linux Kernel 2.6.27. I suddetti driver permetteranno ai guest KVM di ottenere livelli di prestazione I/O più elevati. Diversi componenti dello spazio utente come ad esempio: anaconda, kudzu, lvm, selinux e mkinitrd sono stati aggiornati per supportare i dispositivi virtio.
  • Il kernel nativo di Linux supporta vmcoreinfo automaticamente, ma per impostare kdump sui domini dom0 era necessario il pacchetto kernel-xen-debuginfo. Con questa release il kernel e l'ipervisore sono stati modificati ed ora supportano la lettura e la scrittura di kdump in modo nativo da parte di vmcoreinfo. Gli utenti che desiderano utilizzare kdump per debugging o altri processi investigativi sui domini dom0, possono espletare tali funzioni senza installare i pacchetti debuginfo o debuginfo-common.
  • Gli ospiti Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 completamente virtualizzati andavano incontro ad una prestazione substandard durante l'utilizzo di dispositivi di disco e rete emulati. In questo aggiornamento, è stato incluso il pacchetto kmod-xenpv per semplificare l'uso dei dischi e delle reti paravirtualizzati negli ospiti completamente virtualizzati.
    L'uso di questi driver negli ospiti completamente virtualizzati può migliorare significativamente le prestazioni e la funzionalità degli ospiti completamente virtualizzati. Le correzioni dei bug effettuate per driver netfront e block front vengono immediatamente realizzate e sincronizzate con il pacchetto kernel.
  • Ora gli ospiti hanno la possibilità di utilizzare le tabelle di memoria della pagina di supporto 2MB, che migliora le prestazioni del sistema.

6.2. Resolved Issues

  • Lo spegnimento di un guest paravirtualizzato poteva causare la sospensione di dom0 per un determinato periodo di tempo. Ritardi di diversi secondi erano previsti con guest con una quantità di memoria molto grande (es. 12GB o maggiore). Con questo aggiornamento il kernel virtualizzato permette di eseguire un arresto 'pre-emptible' di un guest paravirtualizzato molto grande risolvendo così questo problema.
  • crash was unable to read the relocation address of the hypervisor from a vmcore file. Consequently, opening a Virtualized kernel vmcore file with crash would fail, resulting in the error: 
    crash: cannot resolve "idle_pg_table_4"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In this update, the hypervisor now saves the address correctly, which resolves this issue.
  • Precedentemente i guest paravirtualizzati potevano avere solo un massimo di 16 dispositivi a disco. Con questo aggiornamento il limite è stato aumentato fino ad un massimo di 256 dispositivi.
  • La memoria riservata per il kernel kdump era incorretta causando crash dump non utilizzabili. Con questo aggiornamento la prenotazione della memoria è ora corretta, permettendo così una generazione corretta dei crash dump.
  • Il collegamento di un disco con un nome specifico (es. /dev/xvdaa, /dev/xvdab, /dev/xvdbc ecc.) ad un guest paravirtualizzato, risultava in un dispositivo /dev corrotto all'interno del guest. Questo aggiornamento risolve il suddetto problema, ora il collegamento ai dischi con i nomi ad un guest paravirtualizzato crea il dispositivo /dev corretto all'interno del guest.
  • Precedentemente il numero di dispositivi loopback era limitato a 4. Di conseguenza questo limitava la possibilità di creare bridge sui sistemi con più di 4 interfacce di rete. Con questo aggiornamento il driver netloop ora è in grado di creare dispositivi di loopback aggiuntivi in base alla necessità.
  • Era possibile il verificarsi di corse critiche durante la creazione e la distruzione dei dispositivi di rete virtuali. In alcuni casi — ed in modo particolare in situazioni di carico elevato — questo poteva causare l'assenza di risposta da parte del dispositivo virtuale. Con questo aggiornamento lo stato del dispositivo virtuale viene controllato in modo da evitare qualsiasi condizione di corsa critica.
  • è possibile avere una perdita di memoria in virt-manager se l'applicazione è stata lasciata in esecuzione. Così facendo l'applicazione consumerebbe in modo costante più risorse con un conseguente stato di memory starvation. Con questo aggiornamento la perdita di memoria è stata corretta risolvendo così questo problema.
  • the crash utility could not analyze x86_64 vmcores from systems running kernel-xen because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hypervisor was relocatable and the relocated physical base address is not passed in the vmcore file's ELF header. The new --xen_phys_start command line option for the crash utility allows the user to pass crash the relocated base physical address.
  • Non tutti gli eventi del mouse venivano catturati e processati dal Paravirtual Frame Buffer (PVFB). In questa situazione la rotella di scorrimento non funzionava durante l'interazione con un guest paravirtualizzato con la Virtual Machine Console. Con questo aggiornamento gli eventi della rotella di scorrimento vengono gestiti correttamente risolvendo così questo problema.
  • L'utilizzo della virtualizzazione su di una macchina con un numero molto grande di CPU poteva causare l'arresto inaspettato dell'ipervisore durante l'installazione del guest. Con questo aggiornamento la suddetta problematica è stata risolta.
  • Sui processori Intel che restituiscono un valore famiglia CPUID di 6, solo un registro del contatore di prestazione è stato abilitato in kernel-xen. Di conseguenza, solo il contatore 0 ha fornito campioni. In questo aggiornamento, questo problema è stato risolto.

6.2.2. x86 Architectures
Copia collegamento

  • On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized properly.
  • Durante l'esecuzione di un guest paravirtualizzato x86, se un processo era in grado di accedere una memoria invalida esso entrava in uno stato di loop invece di ottenere un segnale SEGV. Tale comportamento causava un errore durante i controlli execshield con l'ipervisore. Con questo aggiornamento il suddetto problema è stato risolto.

6.2.3. ia64 Architecture
Copia collegamento

  • A xend bug that previously caused guest installation failures is now fixed.
  • il dispositivo canale evento evtchn mancava di blocchi e barriere di memoria. Questo portava a una mancanza di riposta da xenstore . In questo aggiornamento, questo problema è stato risolto.
  • Le informazioni Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) non venivano mostrate dal comando xm info. Di conseguenza il valore node_to_cpu per ogni nodo veniva ritornato incorrettamente come no cpus. In questo aggiornamento la suddetta problematica viene risolta.
  • In precedenza, la creazione di un ospite sulla Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) falliva sui processori con tecnologia VT-i2 in dotazione. In questo aggiornamento, questo problema è stato risolto.

6.2.4. x86_64 Architectures
Copia collegamento

  • Quando i Dynamic IRQ disponibili per le macchine virtuali del guest venivano terminati, il kernel dom0 poteva arrestarsi inaspettatamente. Con questo aggiornamento la condizione di crash è stata corretta, ed il numero di IRQ disponibili è stato aumentato risolvendo così il problema.
  • On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized properly.

6.3. Known Issues

6.3.1. All Architectures
Copia collegamento

  • Il media dell'unità disco non risulterà accessibile se si utilizza il kernel virtualizzato. Per risolvere questo problema utilizzare invece una unità disco collegata alla porta USB.
    Da notare che il media dell'unità disco funziona bene con altri kernel non virtualizzati.
  • In live migrations of paravirtualized guests, time-dependent guest processes may function improperly if the corresponding hosts' (dom0) times are not synchronized. Use NTP to synchronize system times for all corresponding hosts before migration.
  • La ripetuta migrazione live dei guest paravirtualizzati tra due host potrebbe causare il panic di un host. Se riavviate un host dopo la migrazione del guest fuori dal sistema, e prima di reintegrarlo al suo interno, potrete evitare il virificarsi di tale errore.
  • La formattazione di un disco durante l'esecuzione di Windows 2008 o Windows Vista come guest, potrebbe arrestarsi inaspettatamente quando il guest è stato avviato con CPU virtuali multiple. Per risolvere questo problema avviare il guest con una CPU virtuale singola durante la formattazione.
  • I guest completamente virtualizzati creati attraverso virt-manager, potrebbero impedire talvolta il movimento libero del mouse sulla schermata. Per risolvere questo problema utilizzare virt-manager per configurare un dispositivo USB per il guest.
  • Il numero di CPU massimo deve essere minore di 128 su sistemi con 128 o più CPU. Il numero massimo supportato è di 126. A tale scopo utilizzare l'argomento dell'ipervisore maxcpus=125 per limitare l'Ipervisore a 126
  • Gli ospiti pienamente virtualizzati non possono recuperare il tempo perduto a causa della messa in pausa e successiva ripresa del dominio. Riuscire a monitorare correttamente il tempo durante gli eventi di messa in pausa e di ripresa è uno dei vantaggi dei kernel paravirtualizzati. Si sta affrontando il problema a monte con timer sostituibili, pertanto gli ospiti virtualizzati disporranno di timer paravirtualizzati. Al momento, questo codice è in via di sviluppo a monte e dovrebbe essere disponibile in versioni successive di Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
  • La migrazione ripetuta degli ospiti paravirtualizzati può risultare in messaggi bad mpa sulla console dom0 . In alcuni casi, anche l'hypervisor potrebbe panicare.
    Per impedire il panico del kernel di un hypervisor, riavviare gli ospiti migrati una volta comparsi i messaggi bad mpa.
  • Durante l'impostazione dell'interface bonding su dom0, lo script predefinito network-bridge poteva causare lo smistamento alternato su unavailable e available da parte delle interfacce interessate. Tale comportamento è comunemente conosciuto come flapping.
    Per evitare questo tipo di comportamento sostituire la riga standard network-script in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp con la seguente: 
    			
(network-script network-bridge-bonding netdev=bond0)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Così facendo verrà disabilitato il dispositivo netloop, impedendo una condizione d'errore dell'Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) monitoring durante il processo di trasferimento dell'indirizzo.
  • When running multiple guest domains, guest networking may temporarily stop working, resulting in the following error being reported in the dom0 logs: 
    Memory squeeze in netback driver
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    To work around this, raise the amount of memory available to the dom0 with the dom0_mem hypervisor command line option.

6.3.2. x86 Architectures
Copia collegamento

  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • When installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on a fully virtualized SMP guest, the installation may freeze. This can occur when the host (dom0) is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2.
    Per evitare questo tipo di comportamento impostate il guest per l'utilizzo di un processore singolo utilizzando il processo d'installazione. Per fare ciò utilizzate l'opzione --vcpus=1 in virt-install. Una volta completato il processo d'installazione potrete impostare il guest su SMP, modificando vcpus in virt-manager.

  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • Installing the Virtualization feature may cause a time went backwards warning on HP systems with model numbers xw9300 and xw9400.
    Per risolvere questo problema sulle macchine xw9400, configurate le impostazioni del BIOS in modo da abilitare il timer HPET. Da notare che questa opzione non è disponibile su macchine xw9300.
  • Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.9 on a fully virtualized guest may be extremely slow. In addition, booting up the guest after installation may result in hda: lost interrupt errors.
    Per evitare questo errore configurate il guest in modo da utilizzare il kernel SMP.
  • Upgrading a host (dom0) system to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 may render existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 SMP paravirtualized guests unbootable. This is more likely to occur when the host system has more than 4GB of RAM.
    Per risolvere questo problema, avviate ogni guest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 in modalità CPU singola, e aggiornate il rispettivo kernel all'ultimissima versione (per Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5.z).

  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • On some Itanium systems configured for console output to VGA, the dom0 virtualized kernel may fail to boot. This is because the virtualized kernel failed to properly detect the default console device from the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) settings.
    Quando si verifica tale comportamento, aggiungete il parametro d'avvio console=tty alle opzioni d'avvio del kernel in /boot/efi/elilo.conf.
  • On some Itanium systems (such as the Hitachi Cold Fusion 3e), the serial port cannot be detected in dom0 when VGA is enabled by the EFI Maintenance Manager. As such, you need to supply the following serial port information to the dom0 kernel:
    • Velocità in bit/secondi
    • Numero di bit dei dati
    • Parità
    • indirizzo io_base
    Queste informazioni devono essere specificate nella riga append= del kernel dom0 in /boot/efi/elilo.conf. Per esempio:
    append="com1=19200,8n1,0x3f8 -- quiet rhgb console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8"
    In questo esempio com1 è la porta seriale, 19200 è la velocità (in bit/secondi), 8n1 specifica il numero delle impostazioni bit/parità dei dati, e 0x3f8 è l'indirizzo io_base.
  • Virtualization does not work on some architectures that use Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA). As such, installing the virtualized kernel on systems that use NUMA will result in a boot failure.
    Alcuni numeri d'installazione installano il kernel virtualizzato per default. Se siete in possesso di uno dei suddetti numeri e se il vostro sistema utilizza NUMA e non funziona con kernel-xen, deselezionate l'opzione di Virtualizzazione durante il processo di installazione.
  • Currently, live migration of fully virtualized guests is not supported on this architecture. In addition, kexec and kdump are also not supported for virtualization on this architecture.

7. Technology Previews
Copia collegamento

Technology Preview features are currently not supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription services, may not be functionally complete, and are generally not suitable for production use. However, these features are included as a customer convenience and to provide the feature with wider exposure.
Customers may find these features useful in a non-production environment. Customers are also free to provide feedback and functionality suggestions for a Technology Preview feature before it becomes fully supported. Erratas will be provided for high-severity security issues.
During the development of a Technology Preview feature, additional components may become available to the public for testing. It is the intention of Red Hat to fully support Technology Preview features in a future release.
Modalità ALUA su EMC Clariion
La modalità Explicit active-passive failover (ALUA) che utilizza dm-multipath sullo storage EMC Clariion è ora disponibile. Questa modalità è fornita come specifiche per T10, ma risulta essere una technology preview in questa release.
For more information about T10, refer to http://www.t10.org.
ext4
L'ultimissima generazione di filesystem ext, ext4, è disponibile in questa release come Technology Preview. Ext4 è un miglioramento del filesystem ext3 sviluppato da Red Hat e dalla comunità di Linux. Il nome della release del file system per la Technology Preview è ext4dev.
Il file system viene fornito dal modulo del kernel ext4dev.ko, insieme al nuovo pacchetto e4fsprogs, il quale contiene le versioni aggiornate dei tool di amministrazione e2fsprogs per l'utilizzo con ext4. Per l'utilizzo installare e4fsprogs e successivamente usare i comandi come ad esempio mkfs.ext4dev dal programma e4fsprogs, per creare un file system basato su ext4. Se si riferisce ad un filesystem su di una lina di comando mount o file fstab, usare il nome del filesystem ext4dev.
FreeIPMI
È stato incluso FreeIPMI in questo aggiornamento come Technology Preview. FreeIPMI rappresenta una raccolta di software del sistema Intelligent Platform Management IPMI. Esso fornisce software in-band e out-of-band, insieme ad una libreria di sviluppo conforme agli standard di Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI v1.5 e v2.0).
For more information about FreeIPMI, refer to http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/
Tool tmp e TrouSerS
TrouSerS e tpm-tools sono inclusi in questa release in modo da permettere l'utilizzo di hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Le caratteristiche dell'hardware TPM includono anche:
  • Creazione, storage ed utilizzo sicuro di chiavi RSA (senza essere esposti in memoria)
  • Verifica dello stato software di una piattaforma utilizzando i cancelletti crittografici
TrouSerS è una implementazione della specifica Software Stack (TSS) del Trusted Computing Group. È possibile utilizzare TrouSerS per scrivere applicazioni che utilizzano hardware TPM. tpm-tools è una suite di tool usati per gestire e utilizzare hardware TPM.
For more information about TrouSerS, refer to http://trousers.sourceforge.net/.
eCryptfs
eCryptfs è un file system crittografico in pila per Linux. Esso viene montato su directory individuali come file system EXT3; per poter utilizzare eCryptfs non vi è alcuna necessità di modificare le partizioni esistenti o i file system.
Con questa release eCryptfs è stato aggiornato alla versione 56 dell'upstream la quale fornisce diversi bug fix e miglioramenti. In aggiunta, questo aggiornamento fornisce un programma grafico per assistere alla configurazione di eCryptfs (ecryptfs-mount-helper-gui).
Il suddetto aggiornamento modifica anche la sintassi di alcune opzioni di montaggio di eCryptfs. Se si desidera eseguire un aggiornamento a questa versione di eCryptfs, aggiornare qualsiasi script di montaggio interessato insieme alle voci di /etc/fstab. Per maggiori informazioni sulle modifiche consultare la man ecryptfs.
A questa release di eCryptfs valgono i seguenti avvertimenti:
  • Da notare che il file system eCryptfs funzionerà correttamente solo se il file system cifrato è stato montato una sola volta sulla directory sottostante dello stesso nome. Per esempio: 
    mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/secret /mnt/secret
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    La sezione sicura del file system non dovrebbe essere esposta, es. non dovrebbe essere montata su altri mount point, bind mount e simili.
  • I montaggi di eCryptfs su file system presenti sulla rete (es. NFS, Samba) non funzionerà correttamente.
  • Questa versione del driver del kernel eCryptfs necessita di uno spazio utente aggiornato il quale è fornito da ecryptfs-utils-56-4.el5 o versioni più recenti.
For more information about eCryptfs, refer to http://ecryptfs.sf.net. You can also refer to http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/README and http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs-faq.html for basic setup information.
Stateless Linux
Stateless Linux rappresenta una nuova concezione su come eseguire e gestire un sistema, ideato per semplificare il provisioning e la gestione di un numero esteso di sistemi tramite una loro semplice sostituzione. È possibile eseguire tale procedimento creando alcune immagini del sistema pronte all'uso, le quali verranno replicate e gestite attraverso un numero esteso di sistemi stateless, in grado di eseguire il sistema operativo in modalità di sola lettura (per maggiori informazioni consultate /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root).
Nel suo stato attuale di sviluppo le caratteristiche Stateless rappresentano i sottoinsiemi degli obiettivi desiderati. Per questo, esse sono state denominate Technology Preview.
Red Hat consiglia vivamente a coloro che desiderano testare il codice stateless, di leggere HOWTO su http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux/HOWTO e registrarsi su stateless-list@redhat.com.
L'infrastruttura necessaria per abilitare lo Stateless Linux è stata introdotta originariamente in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
AIGLX
AIGLX è una Technology Preview del server X supportato. La sua funzione è quella di abilitare gli effetti GL-accelerati su di un desktop standard. Il progetto consiste in:
  • Un server X leggermente modificato.
  • Un pacchetto Mesa aggiornato in grado di aggiungere un nuovo supporto del protocollo.
Installando questi componenti è possibile ottenere effetti GL-accelerati sul vostro desktop con poche modifiche, abilitandoli e disabilitandoli a vostro piacimento senza sostituire il vostro server X. AIGLX abilita altresì applicazioni GLX remote, in modo da trarre vantaggio dall'accelerazione GLX hardware.
FireWire
Il modulo firewire-sbp2 è inlcuso in questo aggiornamento come Technology Preview. Questo modulo permette il collegamento con scanner e dispositivi di storage FireWire.
Al momento FireWire non supporta:
  • IPv4
  • controllori host pcilynx
  • dispositivi di storage multi-LUN
  • accesso non-esclusivo ai dispositivi di storage
In aggiunta, le seguenti problematiche sono ancora presenti in FireWire:
  • una perdita di memoria nel driver SBP2 potrebbe causare la mancanza di reattività della macchina.
  • un codice presente in questa versione non funziona correttamente in macchine big-endian. In questo caso potrebbe verificarsi un comportamento inaspettato in PowerPC.
ktune
Questa release include ktune (dal pacchetto ktune), un servizio che imposta diversi parametri di regolazione del kernel su valori adatti per profili specifici del sistema. Attualmente ktune fornisce solo un profilo per sistemi con memoria molto grande i quali eseguono applicazioni network-intensive e disk-intensive.
Le impostazioni fornite da ktune non annullano quelle impostate su /etc/sysctl.conf o attraverso la linea di comando del kernel. ktune potrebbe non essere adatto su alcuni sistemi e carichi di lavoro; per questo motivo è consigliato eseguire un test completo prima d'impiegarlo in ambienti di produzione.
È possibile disabilitare qualsiasi configurazione impostata da ktune e adottare nuovamente le impostazioni normali, attraverso l'arresto del servizio ktune utilizzando service ktune stop (come utente root).
Supporto SGPIO per dmraid
Serial General Purpose Input Output (SGPIO) è un metodo di comunicazione standard del settore usato tra la mainboard ed una varietà di allegati hard disk drive bay esterni ed interni. È possibile usare questo metodo per controllare le luci LED in un allegato attraverso l'interfaccia del driver AHCI.
In questa release il supporto SGPIO in dmraid è stato incluso come una technology preview. Ciò permetterà a dmraid di funzionare correttamente con gli allegati del disco.
GCC 4.3
La Collezione Compilatori Gnu versione 4.3 (GCC4.3) è ora compresa in questa uscita come Anteprima Teconologica. Questa collezione di compilatori comprende i compilatori C, C++, e Fortran 95 insieme alle librerie di supporto.
Notare che nei pacchetti gcc43 , il default per l'opzione gnu89-inline è stato cambiato in -fgnu89-inline, mentre gli aggiornamenti upstream e futuri di Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 saranno impostati di default su -fno-gnu89-inline. Questo è necessario perché molte intestazioni spedite come parte di Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 prevedono la semantica in linea GNU invece della semantica ISO C99. Queste intestazioni non sono state regolate per richiedere la semantica in linea GNU tramite gli attributi.
Funzionalità Kernel Tracepoint
In questo aggiornamento, una nuova funzionalità kernel marker/tracepoint è stata implementata come Anteprima Tecnologica. Questa interfaccia aggiunge punti sonda statici, per l'uso con strumenti come SystemTap.
Set del Device Failure Monitoring of RAID
Il Monitoraggio dei guasti ai dispositivi, tramite gli strumenti dmraid and dmevent_tool, è compreso in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 come Anteprima Tecnologica. Esso offre la possibilità di osservare e segnalare i guasti dei dispositivi sui dispositivi dei componenti dei set RAID.

  • La generazione dei dati per i riporti sulle attività del dispositivo TTY non era corretta. Di conseguenza il comando sar -y falliva ritornando il seguente errore: 
    Requested activities not available in file
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Con il pacchetto aggiornato sar è stato corretto, ora l'opzione -y genera l'attività del dispositivo TTY.
  • Precedentemente l'impstazione di max_fds su unlimited in /etc/multipath.conf impediva l'avvio del demone multipathd. Se è necessario impostare un numero di descrittori open file sul valore massimo del sistema, max_fds deve essere impostato su max.
  • mod_perl è stato aggiornato alla versione 2.0.4, l'ultimissima versione dell'upstream. Questa versione applica diversi aggiornamenti i quali includono un bug fix che permette ora a mod_perl, di operare correttamente con Bugzilla 3.0.
  • cups è stato aggiornato alla versione 1.3.7. Questo aggiornamento applica diversi bug fix e miglioramenti, incluso:
    • è ora supportata l'autenticazione di Kerberos.
    • Vengono ora caricate correttamente le policy dei lavori e della stampante specificate dall'utente.
    • Le remote queue cache non vengono più caricate quando il browsing è disabilitato.
    • Il file di configurazione classes.conf ora presenta i permessi corretti.
  • lm_sensors è stato aggiornato alla versione 2.10.7. Questo aggiornamento apporta numerosi miglioramenti upstream e bug fix, incluso una correzione che impedisce ai libsensor di arrestarsi inaspettatamente con un messaggio General parse error quando k8temp risulta esser stato caricato.
  • elfutils è stato aggiornato in questa release per risolvere i seguenti bug:
    • La utilità eu-readelf poteva arrestarsi inaspettatamente durante la lettura di alcuni file d'input.
    • La utilità eu-strip viene usata nelle procedure rpmbuild le quali creano nuovi pacchetti binari. Essa separa le informazioni di debug dal codice eseguibile per compilare i pacchetti -debuginfo. Un bug in questa utilità causava l'impossibilità di usare le informazioni di debug per i file ET_REL sulla piattaforma s390; ciò interessa i file del modulo del kernel di Linux (.ko.debug), e causa l'impossibilità di funzionare con Systemtap su s390 da parte dei pacchetti kernel-debuginfo generati.
  • vnc-server è stato aggiornato alla versione 4.1.2-14.el5. Questo aggiornamento applica le seguenti correzioni:
    • È stato corretto un bug che impediva a vncserver di mostrare i messaggi d'errore se Xvnc falliva il processo d'avvio.
    • Xvnc non utilizza più la profondita errata della finestra root; Viene utilizzato ora la profondità corretta della finestra specificata dall'opzione -depth.
    • È stato corretto un bug che causava l'arresto inaspettato del server X da parte del modulo libvnc.so.
    • Xvnc supporta ora le estensioni GLX e RENDER su tutte le architetture.
  • smartmontools è stato aggiornato alla versione 5.38. Questo aggiornamento migliora l'auto-rilevamento dei dispositivi hardware, il supporto per gli array CCISS RAID, e presenta un database più grande di dispositivi supportati.
    Questo aggiornamento corregge un bug a causa del quale SELinux impediva a smartmontools di controllare i dispositivi RAID 3ware. smartmontools può ora controllare correttamente tali dispositivi.
  • python-urlgrabber è stato aggiornato alla versione 3.1.0-5. Questo aggiornamento applica diversi bug fix dell'upstream, incluso:
    • yum può ora scaricare nuovamente ed in modo corretto da un repositorio yum che non supporta i download parziali.
    • yum può ora riprendere un download interrotto anche se il repositorio di yum è basato su FTP con una specifica porta.
    • La dimensione delle barre di progresso sono ora dinamiche alla larghezza del terminale. In aggiunta, le barre di progresso sono più chiare e mostrano una percentuale totale dei dati scaricati.
    • Il segnale keepalive di python-urlgrabber è stato ora corretto. Precedentemente un bug presente in questo segnale aumentava in modo incorretto l'utilizzo della memoria durante i download; in aggiunta, questo bug impediva a reposync e yumdownloader di funzionare correttamente durante il download di un numero molto grande di pacchetti.
  • yum-utils è stato aggiornato alla versione 1.1.16. Questo aggiornamento applica diversi bug fix, incluso:
    • yum update --security è ora in grado di localizzare correttamete vecchi aggiornamenti relativi alla sicurezza.
    • yum-versionlock ora funziona correttamente con i pacchetti obsoleti.
    Questo aggiornamento include anche il plugin yum-fastestmirror, il quale permette a yum di scegliere il repositorio più veloce all'interno di un mirrorlist.
  • Samba è stato aggiornato alla versione upstream 3.2.0. Questo aggiornamento corregge numerosi bug, incluso un bug il quale impediva agli utenti di usare i domini usati da Windows 2003 come proprio server dei nomi. Tale aggiornamento corregge anche un bug che causava la rottura del samba domain membership, dopo aver cambiato la password del sistema utilizzando net rpc changetrustpw.
    For a more comprehensive list of upstream samba updates included this release, refer to http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.32.html
  • OpenLDAP è stato aggiornato alla versione 2.3.43. Questo aggiornamento applica diversi bug fix, incluso:
    • Lo script init riporta ora un messaggio di avvertimento se il demone slapd non è in grado di leggere un file del certificato TLS.
    • Tutte le librerie nel pacchetto openldap-debuginfo sono ora 'unstripped'.
    • Il processo di rimozione del pacchetto openldap-devel non interrompe più la libreria OpenLDAP.
    Red Hat offre ora overlay aggiuntivi per il server OpenLDAP. Ad eccezione di syncprov, tutti gli overlay sono disponibili in pacchetti openldap-servers-overlays separati, compilati come moduli caricabili dinamicamente. L'overlay syncprov viene collegato staticamente al server OpenLDAP per conservare una compatibilità con le vecchie versioni di OpenLDAP.
  • Poichè il binario xterm presentava un bit set group ID (setgid) configurato, alcune variabili dell'ambiente (come ad esempio LD_LIBRARY_PATH e TMPDIR) non erano attivati. In questa release il binario xterm ora presenta i permessi 0755 che risolvono questo problema.
  • The recommended method for balancing the load on NIS servers when multiple machines are connecting with ypbind has changed with this release. The ypbind daemon's behavior has not changed: it still pings all NIS servers listed in the /etc/ypbind configuration file and then binds to the single fastest-responding server. Before, it was recommended to list all available NIS servers in each machine's /etc/ypbind.conf configuration file. However, because even servers under high load can respond quickly to this ping, thus inadvertently increasing their own load, it is now recommended for administrators to list a smaller number of available NIS servers in each machine's ypbind.conf, and to vary this list across machines. In this way, NIS servers are automatically load-balanced due to not every NIS server being listed as being available to every machine.
  • OpenMotif è stato aggiornato alla versione 2.3.1. Questo aggiornamento applica diversi diversi bug fix, incluso:
    • È stato corretto un bug nella gestione degli eventi Grab e Ungrab da parte di OpenMotif. Nelle versioni precedenti il suddetto bug poteva causare il bloccaggio del display.
    • Un bug in nedit poteva causarne il suo arresto inaspettato durante l'utilizzo dell'interfaccia utente grafica nedit. Tale problema era causato da una funzione del codice che causava un errore nella segmentazione in alcuni casi di selezione dell'oggetto. Questo problema è stato ora corretto.
  • dbus è stato aggiornato alla versione 1.1.2. Questo aggiornamento corregge un bug dove i programmi 'multi-threaded' potevano causare un blocco critico in dbus. Nelle precedenti release se un thread era in ascolto di dbus e processava i messaggi, il secondo thread inviava i messaggi a dbus.
  • strace è stato aggiornato alla versione 4.5.18. Essa corregge diversi bug incluso:
    • È stato corretto un bug che causava l'arresto inaspettato di strace quando l'opzione -f veniva usata su alcuni programmi 'multi-threaded' (in particolare su sistemi a 64-bit).
    • È stato corretto un bug che impediva alla versione a 64-bit di strace, di eseguire una chiamata della funzione vfork() su di un processo a 32-bit.
  • cpuspeed è stato aggiornato alla versione 1.2.1-5. Con questo aggiornamento lo script cpuspeed init ora carica il modulo speedstep-centrino se il caricamento degli altri moduli fallisce. In aggiunta un bug dello spazio utente che impediva il caricamento del modulo Powernow-k8 è stato corretto.
  • La suite frysk di tool è stata rimossa completamente da questa distribuzione. frysk è stata originariamente introdotta come technology preview in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0.
  • Precedentemente le statistiche I/O della partizione fornite dal comando iostat -x erano incomplete. Con questo aggiornamento le statistiche sono calcolate allo stesso modo delle statistiche del disco, fornendo così informazioni complete al livello della partizione.
  • È stato rilevato un guasto nella divulgazione della password con il file di configurazione per il server mail Dovecot . Se un sistema aveva l'opzione ssl_key_password definita, qualsiasi utente locale potrebbe visualizzare la password chiave SSL. (CVE-2008-4870)

    Nota

    Questo guasto non ha consentito all'aggressore di acquisire i contenuti della chiave SSL. La password non ha alcun valore senza il file chiave al quale gli utenti arbitrari non avrebbero dovuto accedere.
    To better protect even this value, however, the dovecot.conf file now supports the "!include_try" directive. The ssl_key_password option should be moved from dovecot.conf to a new file owned by, and only readable and writable by, root (ie 0600). This file should be referenced from dovecot.conf by setting the !include_try /path/to/password/file option.

  • Un bug di vmconvert impediva un suo funzionamento corretto sul nodo del dispositivo vmur (/dev/0.0.000c). Ciò causava il fallimento di vmconvert durante il tentativo di accedere ai dump sul dispositivo vmur, con un messaggio d'errore vmconvert: Open dump file failed! (Permission denied). Un aggiornamento presente in questa release a s390utils corregge questo problema.
  • Lo script init ed il file config per il demone mon_procd e mon_fsstatd non erano presenti nel pacchetto s390utils. Di conseguenza i suddetti demoni non potevano essere compilati ed usati. I file mancanti sono stati aggiunti in questo aggiornamento il quale risolve ora questa problematica.

  • Durante l'utilizzo della nuova funzione di cifratura del disco per cifrare il filesystem root, sarà possibile visualizzare il seguente messaggio d'errore sulla console durante lo spegnimento del sistema: 
    Stopping disk encryption [FAILED]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Questo messaggio può essere ignorato, il processo di spegnimento verrà completato con successo.
  • When using an encrypted device, the following error message may be reported during bootup: 
    insmod: error inserting '/lib/aes_generic.ko': -1 File exists
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    This message can safely be ignored.
  • L'installazione utilizzando un Multiple Device (MD) RAID insieme a multipath risulterà in un fallimento della procedura d'avvio della macchina. I dispositivi Multipath to Storage Area Network (SAN) che forniscono RAID internamente non vengono interessati.
  • When a large number of LUNs are added to a node, multipath can significantly increase the time it takes for udev to create device nodes for them. If you experience this problem, you can correct it by deleting the following line in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-multipath.rules: 
    KERNEL!="dm-[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM=="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/lsmod | /bin/grep ^dm_multipath'", RUN+="/sbin/multipath -v0 %M:%m"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    This line causes udev to run multipath every time a block device is added to the node. Even with this line removed, multipathd will still automatically create multipath devices, and multipath will still be called during the boot process, for nodes with multipathed root filesystems. The only change is that multipath devices will not be automatically created when multipathd is not running, which should not be a problem for the vast majority of multipath users.
  • Quando si esegue l'aggiornamento da una versione precedente di Red Hat Enterprise Linux a 5.3, è possibile incontrare il seguente errore: 
    Updating  : mypackage                 ################### [ 472/1655]
rpmdb: unable to lock mutex: Invalid argument
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Il blocco si genera poichè il futex locking condiviso in glibc è stato migliorato in un futex per processo tra 5.2 e 5.3. Come risultato, i programmi in esecuzione con il 5.2 glibc non sono in grado di eseguire correttamente il futex locking condiviso nei confronti dei programmi in esecuzione con il 5.3 glibc.
    Questo messaggio d'errore in particolare è un effetto collaterale di un pacchetto che richiama un rpm come parte dei propri script d'installazione. L'istanza rpm che esegue l'aggiornamento utilizza il glibc precedente attraverso il processo di aggiornamento, ma l'istanza rpm lanciata dall'interno dello script utilizza il nuovo glibc.
    To avoid this error, upgrade glibc first in a separate run: 
    # yum update glibc
# yum update
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    You will also see this error if you downgrade glibc to an earlier version on an installed 5.3 system.
  • mvapich e mvapich2 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 sono compilati per supportare solo gli interconnettori InfiniBand/iWARP. Di conseguenza essi non potranno essere eseguiti su ethernet o altri interconnettori di rete.
  • Sui sistemi con più di due dispositivi a blocchi cifrati, anaconda presenta una opzione per fornire una frase segreta globale. Gli script init tuttavia, non supportano questa caratteristica. Quando si avvia il sistema sarà richiesto l'inserimento di ogni singola frase segreta per tutti i dispositivi cifrati.
  • When upgrading openmpi using yum, the following warning may be returned: 
    cannot open `/tmp/openmpi-upgrade-version.*' for reading: No such file or directory
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    The message is harmless and can be safely ignored.
  • La configurazione dell'affinità IRQ SMP non ha alcun effetto su alcuni dispositivi che utilizzano il message signalled interrupts (MSI) senza alcuna capacità MSI per-vector masking. Esempi dei suddetti dispositivi includono i dispositivi ethernet Broadcom NetXtreme che utilizzano il driver bnx2.
    Se è necessario configurare l'affinità IRQ per questi dispositivi, disabilitare MSI tramite la creazione di un file in /etc/modprobe.d/ contenente la seguente riga: 
    		  options bnx2 disable_msi=1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Alterntivamente è possibile disabilitare completamente MSI utilizzando il parametro d'avvio del kernel pci=nomsi.
  • Un bug presente nel file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules aggiornato, impedisce la creazione dei nomi persistenti per i dispositivi a nastro, con numeri maggiori di 9 nei propri nomi. Per esempio, per un dispositivo a nastro con un nome nst12, non verrà creato un nome persistente.
    Per risolvere questo problema aggiungete un asterisco (*) dopo ogni stringa nst[0-9] in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules.
  • Il tool smartctl non è in grado di leggere correttamente i parametri SMART dei dispositivi SATA.
  • Un bug presente nelle versioni precedenti di openmpi e lam potrebbe inpedire l'aggiornamento di questi pacchetti. Il suddetto bug si manifesta tramite il seguente errore (durante il tentativo di aggiornamento di openmpi o lam: 
    error: %preun(openmpi-[version]) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Per questo motivo sarà necessario rimuovere manualmente le versioni più vecchie di openmpi e lam per installare le ultimissime versioni corrispondenti. Per fare questo utilizzate il seguente comando rpm:
    rpm -qa | grep '^openmpi-\|^lam-' | xargs rpm -e --noscripts --allmatches
  • When using dm-multipath, if features "1 queue_if_no_path" is specified in /etc/multipath.conf then any process that issues I/O will hang until one or more paths are restored.
    To avoid this, set no_path_retry [N] in /etc/multipath.conf (where [N] is the number of times the system should retry a path). When you do, remove the features "1 queue_if_no_path" option from /etc/multipath.conf as well.
    If you need to use "1 queue_if_no_path" and experience the issue noted here, use dmsetup to edit the policy at runtime for a particular LUN (i.e. for which all the paths are unavailable).
    To illustrate: run dmsetup message [device] 0 "fail_if_no_path", where [device] is the multipath device name (e.g. mpath2; do not specify the path) for which you want to change the policy from "queue_if_no_path" to "fail_if_no_path".
  • Non è supportata l'abilitazione di versioni multiple installate dello stesso modulo del kernel. In aggiunta, la presenza di un bug nel modo in cui i moduli del kernel sono analizzati, può talvolta risultare nell'abilitazione di una vecchia versione dello stesso modulo del kernel.
    Red Hat consiglia durante l'installazione di una versione più recente di un modulo del kernel installato, di cancellare prima la versione più vecchia.
  • L'esecuzione di kdump su di un IBM Bladecenter QS21 o QS22 configurato con NFS root fallirà. Per evitare ciò specificate un target per l'NFS dump in /etc/kdump.conf.
  • I portatili IBM T60 si spegneranno completamente quando sospesi e connessi ad una docking station. Per evitare questo comportamento avviate il sistema con l'argomento acpi_sleep=s3_bios.
  • La Scheda di espansione iSCSI di QLogic per IBM Bladecenter fornisce le funzioni iSCSI ed ethernet. Alcune parti presenti sulla scheda sono condivise da entrambe le funzioni. Tuttavia i driver correnti qla3xxx e qla4xxx supportano in modo individuale le funzioni ethernet e iSCSI. I suddetti driver non supportano l'utilizzo simultaneo delle funzioni ethernet e iSCSI.
    A causa di questa limitazione i successivi resettaggi (tramite comandi ifdown/ifup consecutivi), potrebbero sospendere il dispositivo. Per evitare questa sospensione fate trascorrere un intervallo di 10 secondi dopo ifup, prima di emettere ifdown. Altresì, fate trascorrere lo stesso intervallo di 10 secondi dopo un ifdown, prima di emettere ifup. Il suddetto intervallo permette di stabilizzare e inizializzare nuovamente tutte le funzioni quando viene emesso un ifup.
  • I laptop con scheda wireless Cisco Aironet MPI-350, possono entrare in una fase di sospensione nel tentativo di ottenere un indirizzo DHCP durante qualsiasi installazione basata sulla rete, utilizzando una porta ethernet cablata.
    Per risolvere questo problema utilizzate per la vostra installazione il media locale. Alternativamente disabilitate la scheda wireless nel BIOS del laptop prima di eseguire l'installazione (è possibile riabilitare la scheda wireless dopo aver completato l'installazione).
  • Con Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 il Boot-time logging su /var/log/boot.log non è disponibile.
  • Il sistema potrebbe non eseguire correttamente il riavvio nel kernel kexec/kdump, se X risulta essere in esecuzione ed utilizza un driver diverso da vesa. Questo problema esiste solo con i chpset grafici ATI Rage XL.
    Se X è in esecuzione su di un sistema equipaggiato con ATI Rage XL, assicuratevi che esso stia utilizzando il driver vesa in modo da poter eseguire correttamente un processo di riavvio in un kernel kexec/kdump.
  • Se utilizzate Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 su di una macchina con chipset nVidia CK804, è possibile visualizzare i seguenti messaggi del kernel:

    I suddetti messaggi indicano che porte PCI-E specifiche non richiedono IRQ. Altresì essi non interessano in alcun modo la normale funzionalità della macchina.
  • I dispositivi di storage estraibili (come ad esempio CD e DVD), non vengono montati automaticamente se siete registrati come utenti root. Per questo motivo sarà necessario montarli manualmente attraverso il file manager grafico.
    Alternativamente è possibile eseguire il seguente comando per montare un dispositivo su /media: 
    mount /dev/[device name] /media

  • Se cancellate il LUN su di un sistema di storage configurato, questa modifica non verrà riportata sull'host. In questi casi i comandi lvm verranno sospesi in modo indeterminato se si utilizza dm-multipath, poichè il LUN è divenuto stale.
    Per risolvere questo problema cancellate tutti i dispositivi e le entry del link mpath in /etc/lvm/.cache, specifiche al LUN in questione.
    Per sapere quali sono queste entry eseguite il seguente comando :
    ls -l /dev/mpath | grep [stale LUN]
    Per esempio, se [stale LUN] è 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00, il risultato potrebbe essere: 
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug  2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 -> ../dm-4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug  2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1 -> ../dm-5
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Ciò significa che 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 viene mappato su due link mpath: dm-4 e dm-5.
    Per questo motivo le seguenti righe dovrebbero essere cancellate da /etc/lvm/.cache: 
    /dev/dm-4 
/dev/dm-5 
/dev/mapper/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00

  • L'esecuzione del comando multipath con l'opzione -ll, può causare la sospensione del comando se uno dei percorsi si trova su di un dispositivo bloccante. Da notare che il driver non causa il fallimento della richiesta, se il dispositivo non risponde dopo un certo periodo di tempo.
    Ciò è causato da un cleanup code, il quale attende fino a quando la richiesta del controllore del percorso viene completata o fallisce. Per visualizzare lo stato corrente di multipath senza sospendere il comando, utilizzare multipath -l.
  • L'aggiornamento di pm-utils da una versione Beta di Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 di pm-utils fallirà generando il seguente errore: 
    error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/pm/sleep.d: cpio: rename
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Per evitare questo tipo di errore cancellate la directory /etc/pm/sleep.d/ prima di eseguire l'aggiornamento. Se /etc/pm/sleep.d contiene alcuni file, spostateli su /etc/pm/hooks/.
  • Prove hardware per Mellanox MT25204 hanno rivelato la presenza di un errore interno sotto carichi di lavoro molto elevati. Quando il driver di ib_mthca riporta un errore catastrofico per questo hardware, esso si riferisce ad un completamento insufficiente della coda, relativo al numero di richieste pendenti generate dall'applicazione dell'utente.
    Anche se il driver resetterà l'hardware e sarà in grado di ripristinare le proprie funzioni dopo tale evento, durante questo errore tutti i collegamenti esistenti verranno persi. Ciò risulterà in un errore di segmentazione nell'applicazione dell'utente. Altresì, se opensm è in esecuzione al momento dell'errore, sarà necessario riavviarlo manualmente per ripristinare le funzioni corrette.
  • Durante l'installazione di Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 su di un guest, il guest viene configurato in modo da usare esplicitamente un kernel d'installazione temporaneo fornito da dom0. Una volta terminata l'installazione, esso potrà utilizzare il proprio bootloader. Tuttavia è possibile eseguire questo processo forzando il primo riavvio del guest in modo da risultare uno spegnimento.
    Quindi, se si visualizza il pulsante Reboot al termine dell'installazione del guest, la sua selezione comporterà un arresto del guest senza riavviarlo. Questo è un comportamento previsto.
    Se si desidera riavviare il guest dopo questo processo, esso utilizzerà il proprio bootloader.
  • L'esecuzione di rpmbuild sull'RPM sorgente compiz fallirà se qualsiasi KDE o pacchetto di sviluppo qt (per esempio qt-devel) sono installati. Tale comportamento è causato da un bug nello script di configurazione compiz.
    Per risolvere questo problema rimuovere qualsiasi pacchetto di sviluppo qt o KDE, prima di compilare il pacchetto compiz dal proprio RPM sorgente.
  • Se il sistema possiede una scheda grafica ATI Radeon R500 o R600, firstboot non verrà eseguito dopo l'installazione. Il sistema andrà direttamente sulla schermata di login grafica saltando firstboot. Se si cercherà di eseguire manualmente firstboot (es. da un terminale failsafe), la sessione di X si arresterà inaspettatamente.
    Questo problema si verifica a causa dell'impiego del driver usato dall'hardware ATI Radeon R500/R600. Il driver predefinito usato dalle schede grafiche risulta essere ancora una technology preview. Per risolvere questo problema eseguire il backup del file /etc/X11/xorg.conf; successivamente configurare X in modo da usare il driver vesa supportato invece di utilizzare il seguente comando:
    system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa
    Ora è possibile eseguire firstboot. Per smistarsi sulle vecchie impostazioni ripristinare /etc/X11/xorg.conf originale.
  • Se il vostro sistema utilizza il TSC timer, la chiamata del sistema gettimeofday potrebbe subire uno spostamento all'indietro. Tale comportamento si verifica a causa di un overflow il quale causerà un salto da parte del TSC timer in avanti in presenza di alcuni casi; Se si verifica tale situazione, il TSC timer sarà in grado di correggersi da solo registrando però un movimento indietro nel tempo.
    Questo problema è particolarmente critico per sistemi time-sensitive, come ad esempio i sistemi di transizione e i database. Per questo motivo se il vostro sistema necessita di tempi precisi, Red Hat consiglia fortemente una impostazione del kernel in modo da utilizzare un timer diverso (per esempio HPET).
  • Il tentativo di esecuzione di sniff potrebbe generare un errore. Tale comportamento è causato poichè alcuni pacchetti essenziali non sono stati installati con dogtail.
    Per evitare una situazione simile installate manualmente i seguenti pacchetti:
    • librsvg2
    • ghostscript-fonts
    • pygtk2-libglade
  • Thin Provisioning (also known as "virtual provisioning") will be first released with EMC Symmetrix DMX3 and DMX4. Please refer to the EMC Support Matrix and Symmetrix Enginuity code release notes for further details.
  • In /etc/multipath.conf, l'impostazione di max_fds su unlimited impedirà l'avvio corretto del demone multipathd. Per questo motivo è consigliato usare un valore sufficientemente alto per questa impostazione.
  • SystemTap utilizza attualmente GCC per analizzare gli eventi dello spazio utente. Tuttavia GCC non è in grado di fornire ai debugger le informazioni esatte sull'elenco delle posizioni dei parametri. In alcuni casi GCC non è in grado di fornire la visibilità di alcuni parametri. Come conseguenza gli script di SystemTap che analizzano lo spazio utente potrebbero ritornare delle letture non accurate.
  • Il portatile IBM T41 non inserisce correttamente il Suspend Mode; per questo motivo Suspend Mode continuerà a consumare normalmente la batteria. Tale comportamento si verifica poichè Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 non include ancora il modulo radeonfb.
    Per risolvere questo problema aggiungere lo script hal-system-power-suspend su /usr/share/hal/scripts/ che contiene le seguenti righe: 
    	
chvt 1
radeontool light off
radeontool dac off
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Questo script assicura che il portatile IBM T41 sia in grado di inserire correttamente il Suspend Mode. Per assicurare che il sistema riprenda correttamente le normali funzioni, aggiungere lo script restore-after-standby anche alla stessa directory che contiene le seguenti righe:

  • Se il modulo edac è stato caricato, il riporto sulla memoria del BIOS non funzionerà. Tale comportamento si verifica poichè il modulo edac ripulisce il registro usato dal BIOS per il riporto degli errori sulla memoria.
    Il Red Hat Enterprise Linux Driver Update Model corrente indica al kernel di caricare tutti i moduli disponibili (incluso il modulo edac) per default. Se si desidera assicurare un riporto della memoria del BIOS sul proprio sistema, sarà necessario inserire manualmente nella blacklist i moduli edac. Per fare questo aggiungere le seguenti righe su /etc/modprobe.conf: 
    	
blacklist edac_mc
blacklist i5000_edac
blacklist i3000_edac
blacklist e752x_edac

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 è in grado di rilevare l'aumento o la diminuzione di un dispositivo a blocchi. Tuttavia non vi è alcun metodo per rilevare automaticamente il cambiamento della dimensione di un dispositivo, per questo motivo saranno necessarie alcune fasi manuali per riconoscere il cambiamento, e ridimensionare qualsiasi file system che risiede sul dispositivo interessato. Una volta rilevata la modifica di un dispositivo a blocchi, un messaggio simile al seguente apparirà nei log del sistema: 
    VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sdi
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Se il dispositivo a blocchi è aumentato in dimensione allora sarà possibile ignorare questo messaggio. Tuttavia se la dimensione del dispositivo a blocchi è diminuita senza però rimpicciolire i dati impostati sul dispositivo a blocchi, i dati presenti sul dispositivo in questione potrebbero essere corrotti.
    È possibile eseguire solo un ridimensionamento di un file system creato sull'intero LUN (o dispositivo a blocchi). Se è presente una tabella delle partizioni sul dispositivo a blocchi, allora il file system devrà essere smontato per poter aggiornare la tabella delle partizioni.
  • Se è stato montato un file system GFS2 sul sistema, un nodo potrebbe entrare in uno stato di sospensione se un inode salvato sulla cache viene accesso in un nodo e rimosso dal link di un altro nodo. Se si verifica una situazione simile il nodo sospeso non sarà disponibile fino a quando non verrà isolato e ripristinato tramite un meccanismo normale di recupero del cluster. La funzione richiama gfs2_dinode_dealloc e shrink_dcache_memory apparirà nelle tracce dello stack di qualsiasi processo presente nel nodo sospeso.
    Questo problema non interesserà alcun file system GFS2 con un solo nodo.

    This delay (which may be up to 10 seconds, dependant on the hardware configuration) is necessary to ensure that the kernel has completed scanning the disks.
  • L'implementazione corrente di User Payload Access in ipmitool permette di configurare i dispositivi ma non il ripristino delle impostazioni correnti dei suddetti dispositivi.
  • L'utilizzo del parametro swap --grow in un file kickstart senza l'impostazione del parametro --maxsize, permette ad anaconda di imporre una restrizione sulla dimensione massima della partizione di swap, non permettendogli un aumento della dimensione in modo da riempire il dispositivo.
    Per sistemi con meno di 2GB di memoria fisica, il limite imposto è due volte la quantità di memoria fisica. Per sistemi con più di 2GB, il limite imposto è la dimensione di memoria fisica più 2GB.
  • The gfs2_convert program may not free up all blocks from the GFS metadata that are no longer used under GFS2. These unused metadata blocks will be discovered and freed the next time gfs2_fsck is run on the file system. It is recommended that gfs2_fsck be run after the filesystem has been converted to free the unused blocks. These unused blocks will be flagged by gfs2_fsck with messages such as: 
    Ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 137 (0x89) 
Ondisk status is 1 (Data) but FSCK thinks it should be 0 (Free)
Metadata type is 0 (free)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    These messages do not indicate corruption in the GFS2 file system, they indicate blocks that should have been freed, but were not. The number of blocks needing to be freed will vary depending on the size of the file system and block size. Many file systems will not encounter this issue at all. Large file systems may have a small number of blocks (typically less than 100).

  • Some Itanium systems cannot properly produce console output from the kexec purgatory code. This code contains instructions for backing up the first 640k of memory after a crash.
    Mentre un output della console purgatory può essere utile durante problemi diagnostici, esso non è necessario per il funzionamento corretto di kdump. Per questo motivo se il vostro sistema Itanium viene resettato durante una operazione di kdump, disabilitate l'output della console in purgatory attraverso l'aggiunta di --noio alla variabile KEXEC_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/kdump.
  • Running perftest will fail if different CPU speeds are detected. As such, you should disable CPU speed scaling before running perftest.

    Questo errore è il risultato di una richiesta malformata per la creazione di efirtc in un percorso incorretto. Tuttavia il percorso del dispositivo in questione viene creato anche in modo statico in initramfs, all'avvio del servizio kdump. Per questo motivo il runtime della creazione del nodo del dispositivo è ridondante e non dovrebbe interessare le prestazioni di kdump.
  • Some systems may be unable to boot the kdump kernel properly. In such cases, use the machvec=dig kernel parameter.
  • Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:

cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-1.1.el5 - cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-2.el5
  • Group: System Environment/Daemons
  • Summary: A high-performance mail server with IMAP, POP3, NNTP and SIEVE support
  • Description: 
    The cyrus-imapd package contains the core of the Cyrus IMAP server.
It is a scaleable enterprise mail system designed for use from
small to large enterprise environments using standards-based
internet mail technologies.

A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin
board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from
other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed"
servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in and have no
system account on the server. The mailbox database is stored in parts
of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP server. All user
access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3 or KPOP
protocols. It also includes support for virtual domains, NNTP,
mailbox annotations, and much more. The private mailbox database design
gives the server large advantages in efficiency, scalability and
administratability. Multiple concurrent read/write connections to the
same mailbox are permitted. The server supports access control lists on
mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox hierarchies.

The Cyrus IMAP server supports the IMAP4rev1 protocol described
in RFC 3501. IMAP4rev1 has been approved as a proposed standard.
It supports any authentication mechanism available from the SASL
library, imaps/pop3s/nntps (IMAP/POP3/NNTP encrypted using SSL and
TLSv1) can be used for security. The server supports single instance
store where possible when an email message is addressed to multiple
recipients, SIEVE provides server side email filtering.

many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.

FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS
protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access
Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are
also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and
more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to
be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be
done when adding or deleting new users.

creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management
capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet
standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented
algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses
only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).

  • Description: 
    The introduction of the Collections API by Sun in JDK 1.2 has been a
boon to quick and effective Java programming. Ready access to powerful
data structures has accelerated development by reducing the need for
custom container classes around each core object. Most Java2 APIs are
significantly easier to use because of the Collections API.
However, there are certain holes left unfilled by Sun's
implementations, and the Jakarta-Commons Collections Component strives
to fulfill them. Among the features of this package are:
- special-purpose implementations of Lists and Maps for fast access
- adapter classes from Java1-style containers (arrays, enumerations) to
Java2-style collections.
- methods to test or create typical set-theory properties of collections
such as union, intersection, and closure.

lam-7.1.2-8.fc6 - lam-7.1.2-14.el5
  • Group: Development/Libraries
  • Summary: The LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) programming environment.
  • Description: 
    LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an Message-Passing Interface (MPI)
programming environment and development system for heterogeneous
computers on a network. With LAM/MPI, a dedicated cluster or an
existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel
computer to solve one problem. LAM/MPI is considered to be "cluster
friendly" because it offers daemon-based process startup/control as
well as fast client-to-client message passing protocols. LAM/MPI can
use TCP/IP and/or shared memory for message passing (different RPMs
are supplied for this -- see the main LAM website at
http://www.mpi.nd.edu/lam/ for details).<

LAM features a full implementation of MPI version 1 (with the
exception that LAM does not support cancelling of sends), and much of
version 2. Compliant applications are source code portable between LAM
and any other implementation of MPI. In addition to meeting the
standard, LAM/MPI offers extensive monitoring capabilities to support
debugging. Monitoring happens on two levels: On one level, LAM/MPI has
the hooks to allow a snapshot of a process and message status to be
taken at any time during an application run. The status includes all
aspects of synchronization plus datatype map/signature, communicator
group membership and message contents (see the XMPI application on the
main LAM website). On the second level, the MPI library can produce a
cumulative record of communication, which can be visualized either at
runtime or post-mortem.

mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-19 - mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-44
  • Group: System Environment/Base
  • Summary: Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules.
  • Description: 
    Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block
device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem.

In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the
kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to
address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial
ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and
is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The
ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to
mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program creates such a
ramdisk using information found in the /etc/modules.conf file.

adds headers to the message so they can be filtered by the user's mail
reading software. This distribution includes the spamd/spamc components
which create a server that considerably speeds processing of mail.

To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply add
this line to your ~/.procmailrc:
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc

To filter spam for all users, add that line to /etc/procmailrc
(creating if necessary).

ypbind-1.19-8.el5 - ypbind-1.19-11.el5
  • Group: System Environment/Daemons
  • Summary: The NIS daemon which binds NIS clients to an NIS domain.
  • Description: 
    The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides
network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group
information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can allow users
to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has
the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in
the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages
(YP).

This package provides the ypbind daemon. The ypbind daemon binds NIS
clients to an NIS domain. Ypbind must be running on any machines
running NIS client programs.

Install the ypbind package on any machines running NIS client programs
(included in the yp-tools package). If you need an NIS server, you
also need to install the ypserv package to a machine on your network.
