rkhunter warnings, maybe yum issues?

by William Mattison

Good evening, I don't know if these are properly rkhunter questions, yum questions, or F-20 questions, so I'm posting to both lists. Last Monday, I updated my 64-bit system from Fedora-19 to Fedora-20. Several minutes ago, I updated Fedora-20 by doing "yum update". I then did "rkhunter --update", and then "rkhunter --check". I'm getting a lot of issues. 1. I get these messages in the rkhunter log: [18:55:34] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/sbin/chkconfig' gave error code 1. [18:55:39] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/sbin/fuser' gave error code 1. [18:55:40] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/sbin/ifconfig' gave error code 1. [18:55:44] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/sbin/route' gave error code 1. [18:55:44] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/sbin/rsyslogd' gave error code 1. [18:55:50] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/ed' gave error code 1. [18:55:50] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/egrep' gave error code 1. [18:55:50] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/fgrep' gave error code 1. [18:55:52] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/grep' gave error code 1. [18:55:55] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/mail' gave error code 1. [18:55:55] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/netstat' gave error code 1. [18:56:01] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/rpm' gave error code 1. [18:56:01] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/sed' gave error code 1. [18:56:07] Info: The command 'rpm -qf --queryformat... /usr/bin/mailx' gave error code 1. I get these warnings a lot (both under F-19, and since updating to F-20). What's causing these warnings? Is there something yum should be doing, but isn't? Is there something I should be doing, but I don't know it? 2. I get this warning in the rkhunter log: [18:55:49] /usr/bin/curl [ Warning ] [18:55:49] Warning: Package manager verification has failed: [18:55:49] File: /usr/bin/curl [18:55:49] Try running the command 'prelink /usr/bin/curl' to resolve dependency errors. [18:55:49] The file hash value has changed [18:55:49] The file size has changed The warning gives me the immediate fix, and it works. But the problem recurs after almost every "yum update" (both under F-19, and since updating to F-20), though not on the same packages each time. What's the real problem? Is there something yum should be doing, but isn't? Is there something I should be doing, but I don't know it? 3. Since updating to F-20, I'm seeing this warning: [18:56:18] [18:56:18] Checking for GasKit Rootkit... [18:56:18] Checking for file '/dev/dev/gaskit/sshd/sshdd' [ Not found ] [18:56:18] Checking for directory '/dev/dev' [ Found ] [18:56:18] Checking for directory '/dev/dev/gaskit' [ Not found ] [18:56:18] Checking for directory '/dev/dev/gaskit/sshd' [ Not found ] [18:56:18] Warning: GasKit Rootkit [ Warning ] [18:56:18] Directory '/dev/dev' found [18:56:18] The directory "/dev/dev/" contains one entry: bash.6[dev]: ll total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jan 29 13:48 resume -> ../../sda5 bash.7[dev]: Doing "file resume" gives this: bash.21[dev]: file resume resume: broken symbolic link to `../../sda5' bash.22[dev]: I see no "sda5" in the root directory. A "df" shows no filesystem. An "ls -a" of the root directory shows one file I did not expect: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 178665 Jan 29 18:50 .readahead It seems to be binary. Do I have a security problem? What are "/dev/dev/resume" and "/.readahead"? thanks, Bill.

What you've said implies my assumption was wrong. Now knowing better, the whereis output tells me nothing relevant to my problem. Thank-you for clearing that up for me. At this point, I believe my Fedora system does not have the problems I originally feared it might have. In a separate message, I'll fully close this. Bill.

Tons of DBUS error and apps unavailability

by Ambrogio De Lorenzo

Hi all, I see a lot of DBUS error in the messages: dbus[11185]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out dbus-daemon: dbus[11185]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out dbus[11185]: [system] Activating systemd to hand-off: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' dbus-daemon: dbus[11185]: [system] Activating systemd to hand-off: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' dbus[11185]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.hostname1': timed out dbus-daemon: dbus[11185]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.hostname1': timed out dbus[11185]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out dbus-daemon: dbus[11185]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out I use KDE and the errors are frequent when an application have to open the file selector windows (Libreoffice on save as or Virtualbox in select a disk). The timeout is about 2 3 minutes. I can't understand why (but I think this is also related to a NFS filesystem mounted on my machine - I have to test without it). Little timeout I have also when I unlock the session. A big timeout when I logoff and logon with the same user. I can't found solutions. There is someone that had the same problem? Bye Ambrogio

does "openssh" really depend on "openssl"?

by Robert P. J. Day

currently reading the RHEL 7-Beta docs (which should be fairly relevant WRT fedora, yes? as RHEL 7 will be based on f19 last i read), and on this opening page: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Lin... one reads: "Note, the OpenSSH packages require the OpenSSL package (openssl) ..." um ... they do? i just checked and none of the following commands show openssl as a dependency: $ rpm -qR openssh-server $ rpm -qR openssh-clients $ rpm -qR openssh conversely: $ rpm -q --whatrequires openssl perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.955-1.fc20.noarch unbound-libs-1.4.21-1.fc20.x86_64 $ finally, i checked the changelog for openssh-server and, way back in 2001: * Sat Mar 03 2001 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin(a)redhat.com> - remove dependency on openssl -- would need to be too precise so ... am i missing something? does openssh actually depend on openssl in some way that's not revealed by any of the above? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Playing commercial DVDs in Fedora 20

by Matthew Saltzman

I have libdvdcss from Livna and gstreamer-plugins-bad (who's idea was naming the gstreamer-plugins-* series, anyway?) from RPM Fusion Free (which contains /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstdvdspu.so). But when I play a commercial DVD, Totem reports that it can't find the Sub-Picture Decoder plugin. It offers to search, but finds nothing relevant. The DVD does play, but AIUI, without the plugin, I will have to manually start each .VOB file. Am I still missing something (I have most of the gstreamer plugins installed by now), or is something misconfigured in Totem? If there's a bug, whose is it, Totem or the plugins? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

Fedora 20 and VmWare

by Ambrogio De Lorenzo

Hi all, this is the everytime seen subject. I'm changing my PC (from an old Fedora 14) and I installed Fedora 20. I need to have a Windows virtual machine and until now I used a VmWare virtual machine. Now I'm unable to install vmplayer and also vmware workstation on fedora 20. I remember I had a lot of problem with VmWare on every new kernel. I forgot that problems because Fedora 14 is no more updated :-) Now I have to solve the problem. There is a chance to have vmplayer working on fedora 20? Is better to use Virtual Box (and are the vmware virtual machines usable without pain on Virtual Box)? Regards to all Ambrogio

Fedora 20 Installation Problem

by L.G.

Good morning everybody. Today I have tried to install Fedora 20 on my Sony SVE1512Y1ESI notebook. First of all I have loaded a .ISO image on my USB pen drive, using very useful UltraISO program. At this point I have restarted my PC and, after appropriate configurations, I have run the Fedora installation which, unfortunately, has hung after just a minute. What do you suggest I should do? I express my early thanks to all people who will know to give me an answer.
