Today I started picking some of my first year hops.

SELinux and Ubuntu

keys261 — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:54:53 +0000

Finish setting up SELinux on my production server. I only add to make some small changes to the policy to get things working. However I am getting the below warnings in my logs:

SELinux: WARNING: inside open_file_mask_to_av with unknown mode:

I am still researching the problem.

UPDATE:

Found the bug report and kernel needs to be patched but it look like Ubuntu is not going to release an update anytime soon so I just patched the latest kernel today.

Started looking into distributive computing. I was able to setup a cluster using hadoop. I initial used two linux machines. Then was able to add my mac mini to the cluster. I found some bugs but overall an easy setup. Over the summer planning on writing some c++ programs to run on my cluster.
