The type field tells us what the purpose of the file is. There are a
few common file types.



CORE (value 4)
DYN (Shared object file), for libraries (value 3)
EXEC (Executable file), for binaries (value 2)
REL (Relocatable file), before linked into an executable file (value 1)


...



A common misconception is that ELF files are just for binaries or
executables. We already have seen they can be used for partial pieces
(object code). Another example is shared libraries or even core dumps
(those core or a.out files). The ELF specification is also used on
Linux for the kernel itself and Linux kernel modules.

Could you give some examples for the files of kernel itself and kernel modules?



Thanks.

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
