dbus messaging error under CentOS 4.2

The Problem
I’ve been getting the following /var/log/messages errors:

<br /> Mar 13 21:38:42 lamda dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=3606 uid=81 loginuid=-1 message=avc: denied { send_msg } for scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t tclass=dbus<br /> Mar 13 21:39:17 lamda last message repeated 7 times<br />

Based on the command dbus-launch – Utility to start a message bus from a shell script. Investigation found the process running under my userid, not root?

<br /> rbradfor 5760 1 0 Mar11 tty1 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients<br /> rbradfor 5761 1 0 Mar11 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon-1 --fork --print-pid 8 --print-address 6 --session<br />

The service can be stopped which addresses the immediate problem.
<br /> /etc/init.d/messagebus stop<br />

The Fix
<br /> $ wget ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL4/u3/noarch/selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.126.noarch.rpm<br /> $ wget ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL4/u3/i386/policycoreutils-1.18.1-4.9.i386.rpm<br /> $ rpm -Uvh policycoreutils-1.18.1-4.9.i386.rpm selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.126.noarch.rpm<br />

Using GenAI directly in the database. A practical example using MySQL 8.0

If you have a typical MySQL production setup using MySQL 8.0 (EOL) with replication, you can take advantage of VillageSQL extensions to generate AI responses directly with your source data with no impact on your production setup or existing application software.

Producing Skewness statistics with SQL

Skewness measures the asymmetry of a distribution. A perfectly symmetric distribution has a skewness of zero. A positive skew (right-skewed) means the tail extends to the right — a small number of high values pull the mean above the median.

Exploring the vsql-ai extension

The vsql-ai extension adds AI prompt capabilities and text embeddings directly in SQL queries, with support for Anthropic Claude , Google Gemini , OpenAI ChatGPT , or a local LLM such as Ollama .
