I received an alert from OSSEC HIDS that a package was installed at 00:59. Nobody uses this infrastructure but me Upon investigation I find this Sep 14 00:59:18 ovirthost1 sshd[93263]: Accepted publickey for root from 10.0.16.50 port 50197 ssh2: RSA 1c:fc:0d:b8:40:2c:bf:87:f7:8f: b2:52:0b:c4:f6:4d Sep 14 00:59:18 ovirthost1 sshd[93263]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Sep 14 00:59:46 ovirthost1 sshd[93263]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root 10.0.16.50 is my ovirt engine And the yum log Sep 14 00:59:28 Updated: iproute-3.10.0-87.el7.x86_64 However, what is baffling to me is that this is a cluster I setup about 9 months ago and have not updated at all (its a testing env for VM systems) Why would ovirt seemingly randomly update and install a package? I know the engine checks for updates on hosts but this is the first time in my time using ovirt that ovirt instructed a host to install a package. This occurred on all of my ovirt nodes in this infrastructure (3) ovirt Version 4.0.1.1-1.el7.centos

It is, unless you have otopi-1.6.2 or later: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1405838 > > On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 10:54 AM, Charles Kozler <ckozleriii(a)gmail.com&gt; > wrote: >> >> I received an alert from OSSEC HIDS that a package was installed at 00:59. >> Nobody uses this infrastructure but me >> >> Upon investigation I find this >> >> Sep 14 00:59:18 ovirthost1 sshd[93263]: Accepted publickey for root from >> 10.0.16.50 port 50197 ssh2: RSA >> 1c:fc:0d:b8:40:2c:bf:87:f7:8f:b2:52:0b:c4:f6:4d >> Sep 14 00:59:18 ovirthost1 sshd[93263]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session >> opened for user root by (uid=0) >> Sep 14 00:59:46 ovirthost1 sshd[93263]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session >> closed for user root >> >> 10.0.16.50 is my ovirt engine >> >> And the yum log >> >> Sep 14 00:59:28 Updated: iproute-3.10.0-87.el7.x86_64 >> >> However, what is baffling to me is that this is a cluster I setup about 9 >> months ago and have not updated at all (its a testing env for VM systems) >> >> Why would ovirt seemingly randomly update and install a package?

You might consider upgrading to oVirt 4.1. Best, -- Didi
