Multiple SSIDs hostapd on CentOS 7

Here's how I set up hostapd on my CentOS 7/PCEngines APU 2C4.  First, I needed to ensure I had the capabilities.  I'm using the WLE200NL device.

my setup for hostapd :
    [root@hostname home]# yum install iw
Next, I needed to check and ensure the driver would work as an Access Point, so I ran an "iw list" :
    [root@hostname home]# iw list
  Wiphy phy0
  max # scan SSIDs: 4
  max scan IEs length: 2257 bytes
  Coverage class: 0 (up to 0m)

I snipped out some of the repetitive-styled output (marked by the "[...snipped...]" lines), just to shorten the output of the iw command.  I highlighted a couple of the things I thought were relevant in bold.  I needed to grab the source for hostapd :
    [root@hostname home]# wget http://w1.fi/releases/hostapd-2.6.tar.gz
Extract it (tar -xf hostapd-2.6.tar.gz), then configure it (note, no ./configure script) :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# cd hostapd-2.6/hostapd
[root@hostname hostapd]# cp defconfig .config

Worked well enough to know we're installed, so let's get it configured. First, we need to grab the hardware address : 
    [root@hostname hostapd]# ifconfig wlp1s0
wlp1s0: flags=4098  mtu 1500
        ether 04:f0:21:26:d5:1f  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

[root@hostname hostapd]#
For multiple SSID's, you might need to "change the MAC". You can do this from the command line as :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# ifconfig wlp1s0 hw ether 02:f0:21:26:d5:30
Or, add the new MAC address as "MACADDR=" in the ifcfg-wlp1s0 file for a more permanent home :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# ifconfig wlp1s0
wlp1s0: flags=4098  mtu 1500
        ether 02:f0:21:26:d5:30  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

[root@hostname hostapd]# ifconfig wlp1s0 up
[root@hostname hostapd]#
Check and ensure it took :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# ifconfig wlp1s0
wlp1s0: flags=4099  mtu 1500
        ether 02:f0:21:26:d5:30  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

[root@hostname hostapd]# vi ifcfg-enp4s0
Create our required configuration files :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# mkdir -p /etc/hostapd
[root@hostname etc]# cd /etc/hostapd/
[root@hostname hostapd]# vi hostapd.conf
Here is the content of my hostapd.conf file (shamelessly copied from another source) for the trial run :

Let's get a few more files created :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# touch /etc/hostapd/hostapd.deny
[root@hostname hostapd]# touch /etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept
[root@hostname hostapd]#
Note, if you forget the hostapd.deny/hostapd.accept files, it will error out with :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf 
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

And a successful run :
    [root@hostname hostapd]# hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf 
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Line 8: DEPRECATED: 'dump_file' configuration variable is not used anymore
Using interface wlp1s0 with hwaddr 02:f0:21:26:d5:30 and ssid "wifiname"
random: Only 15/20 bytes of strong random data available from /dev/random
random: Not enough entropy pool available for secure operations
WPA: Not enough entropy in random pool for secure operations - update keys later when the first station connects
wlp1s0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlp1s0: AP-ENABLED
You should now have a wireless network named "wifiname"! Congrats!  But wait! That's not all!  For a down payment of $49.95, you can also get MULTIPLE networks in separate subnets!  No VLAN necessary!  Here's how to order.
    [root@hostname homedir]# ifconfig wlp1s0|grep ether
        ether 09:f0:21:26:d5:d8  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
[root@hostname homedir]#
First, you need to ensure the BSSID is defined in your hostapd.conf.  Grab the hardware address out of ifconfig :
    [root@hostname homedir]# ifconfig wlp1s0|grep ether
        ether 04:f0:21:26:d5:1f  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
[root@hostname homedir]#
Then, change the first octet to 02 (meaning it's locally managed), and the last octet to 30.  For example :
    04:f0:21:26:d5:1f
02:f0:21:26:d5:30
Then, throw that value into your hostapd.conf file under the setting of "bssid=02:f0:21:26:d5:30".  The next step is to define your secondary SSID's using stanzas like :
    bss=wlp1s0_0
ssid=guest
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=Brawnd0! It's what plants crave.

bss=wlp1s0_1
ssid=nonrouted
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=securityVan09
accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.nonrouted.allow
Once you restart hostapd, you will note that you have two new interfaces : wlp1s0_0 and wlp1s0_1. These will correlate to the three wireless networks. One is the main wireless network (wlp1s0), one is the guest network (wlp1s0_0), and one is a non-routable network (wlp1s0_1). The non-routable network is where I put all of my security stuff that I play with - for example, I don't want the chinese test hardware dialing home to papa.

So, how do we give them separate subnets? I spent a few days trying to figure this out, wanting terribly to use the defect-standard scripts on the system (before I really found out that you can't use the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*). The "systemctl restart network.service" refused to work with them. It baffled me for a while, until I got tired of the inability for it to work, and simply created a systemd startup file for hostapd that had a post-configuration (I placed mine into "/etc/systemd/system/hostapd.service") : 
    [Unit]

ExecReload=kill -HUP $MAINPID
ExecStop=kill $MAINPID
PIDFile=/var/run/hostapd.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I needed to enable the new systemd startup :
    systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start hostapd
systemctl enable hostapd
A reboot, and I was finally online with two networks!

CentOS 7 - xscreensaver

I really hate this Gnome interface - badly.  It requires so much clicky-clacky/mouse-moving work that I instantly feel like I'm in Microsoft Windows again.  I prefer a nice, simple Window Manager that is simply that - a window manager.

I have a laptop that I have installed CentOS 7 to - after completely forgetting with a desktop installation - that doesn't have a viable screen saver (unless I choose to go with that abomination called "Gnome").  See, I can't deal with Gnome.  I tried KDE for a week, and half of the time, I couldn't unlock the KDE/plasma screen because it never presented the unlock on it.  I realized that CentOS was not going to make a good desktop/laptop operating system unless I could get to a decent Window Manager and screen saver.

So, I did what every intelligent, awesome, amazing, and brilliant individual would do.  I went down the rabbit hole.  Seriously, I should have taken the blue pill and pretended that Gnome was just awesome - but I don't think I could get beyond comparing it to slicing my wrists and doing pushups in salt water with a hint of lemon juice in it.  I grabbed Xfce (nice - this one came in packages from the Fedora Project epel repository).  However, the EPEL Fedora Project repository still did not have xscreensaver.  That's a serious risk to me.  The last thing I wanted was someone coming by, finding the laptop unlocked, and me returning to find Justin Beiber as my wall paper.

So, I knew I had to compile xscreensaver from scratch.  I ran out and downloaded it from http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html and extracted it.  I found a couple of missing packages (aside from the development packages I'd installed previously), and found those in yum :
    yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates --enablerepo=extras --enablerepo=epel --enablerepo=rpmforge install xorg-x11-server-devel.x86_64 libXt-devel libXpm-devel motif-devel
Then..., I tried to compile it :
    make distclean
./configure --with-motif
make
I kept running into undefined functions for pthread_join and pthread_create, and thought I was missing a library - but I wasn't.  Down that rabbit hole, I realized I had to patch it.  I tracked down (from the error message) that it was trying to assemble the bsod screensaver and getting those functions, so I opened up the Makefile and started checking it to see how the -pthread was being passed.  After tracking it down, I created the following patch :
    diff -rupN xscreensaver-5.30-base/hacks/Makefile.in xscreensaver-5.30/hacks/Makefile.in

+       $(CC_HACK) -o $@ $@.o   $(HACK_OBJS) $(GRAB) $(APPLE2) $(XPM) $(XPM_LIBS) $(THRL)
 
 apple2:                apple2.o apple2-main.o  $(HACK_OBJS) $(ATV) $(GRAB) $(TEXT)
        $(CC_HACK) -o $@ $@.o   apple2-main.o $(HACK_OBJS) $(ATV) $(GRAB) $(TEXT) $(XPM_LIBS) $(TEXT_LIBS) $(THRL)
Simply put - the bsod compile instructions missed having the THRL (pthread library) environment variable passed to it.  That was the ONLY patching I had to do.  It still didn't compile because of the xscreensaver-demo until I symlinked the following Directory :

 cd /usr/include/
 ln -s gdk-pixbuf-2.0 gdk-pixbuf

Compiled just fine!

CentOS 6 and Standard X ScreenSavers

I use CentOS as a desktop, primarily because I need to be able to work on scripts and ensure they work on the servers before I throw the things over to the servers for production runs.  However, the default number (and style) of screensavers for Gnome are pitiful.  Popart, the insecure "photos", and some weird "gnome feet" screen saver.  Because of this, I needed to have the original X screen savers.

I'm using CentOS 6.4, and due to previous histories, I knew I needed packages named with the following :
    gnome-screensaver (already installed)
xscreensaver-base
xscreensaver-extras
xscreensaver-extras-gss
xscreensaver-gl-base
xscreensaver-gl-extras
xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss
I loaded up http://rpm.pbone.net/ (way better than http://rpmfind.net/), and tracked down RedHat EL6 RPM URL's.  Then threw them into the following command :
    yum install ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-base-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-gl-base-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-extras-gss-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-extras-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm
This gave me a requirement for a package that was missing with the following error :
    Error: Package: 1:xscreensaver-base-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64 (/xscreensaver-base-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64)
           Requires: xorg-x11-resutils
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I found the missing package that was required (news to me), and fired off the command :

    yum install ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-base-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-gl-base-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-extras-gss-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xscreensaver-extras-5.11-7.el6.respin1.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/xorg-x11-resutils-7.1-10.el6.x86_64.rpm

Success!  Note that you will have TWO screen saver options.  If you use gnome-screen saver and hot keys to lock your workstation, you should continue to use that one (your new screensavers will show up in it's configuration pane).  If you open the first one and it says it needs to stop the gnome screen saver, cancel that, close that preferences pane, and open the other one.

Finally, the How-To for forked-daapd on CentOS 6.2 64 Bit

FYI, I have superseded this post - I got very frustrated with recompiling the whole kit and caboodle every time I did an update just to have this running.  So, I opted for the mt-daapd server, and it was easier to install, less external dependencies, and still did everything I needed it to.  Try this post before continuing on!

 Okay, I'm finally getting to the point of writing up how I finally got forked-daapd installed on my CentOS 6.2 64 Bit media server. It was a pain, but it works.

My process was : try to configure, compile, and install. If it failed, deal with the problem and repeat.

Simple process, but there was a LOT that was problematic.

First, the dependencies (you will need the rpmfusion repository configured) :

yum install gcc glibc-devel avahi-devel ffmpeg-devel libplist-devel taglib-devel flac-devel libunistring-devel java libgcrypt-devel mxml-devel libevent-devel alsa-lib-devel gettext-devel libconfuse-devel gperf zlib-devel ant ant-antlr ant-apache-bcel ant-junit ant-trax antlr tcl-devel git

You will note that we need a stringtemplate RPM as well (hard to find, so I slapped a copy at http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/stringtemplate-3.2.1-3.jpp6.noarch.rpm). I needed to search a bit for one, as it's not in the regular distro, but grab that one.

This should get ALMOST everything. Note that sqlite has to be recompiled. In order to satisfy dependencies, I rebuilt that into an RPM to replace what was there (this one has the option required for forked-daapd). A few others were not found, so I slapped them together, building a number of these RPM's. Currently, the source RPM's are available here :

http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/antlr3-3.1.1-10.el6.src.rpm
http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/libantlr3c-3.1.3-0.2.src.rpm
http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/sqlite-3.6.20-2.el6.src.rpm

You will also want to install the -devel packages for each one once you've built good system packages. You can seamlessly replace any sqlite packages. Note that upgrades might not work with the custom sqlite, but it's easy to grab the source RPM for the upgraded sqlite, add the param, and then upgrade it manually, then the system should update again.

Once those dependencies are installed, you must toss in mxml (available from http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/mxml-2.7.tar (after compiling and installing, copy the mxml.pc file into the appropriate location, mine was /usr/share/pkgconfig/), and then libavl (available from http://alioth.debian.org/~jblache/forked-daapd/libavl_0.3.5.tar.gz) :

  1. Edit the make file, and Comment out "CFLAGS ?= -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=i686 -w"
  2. Add a new CFLAGS Line :
    CFLAGS = -fPIC -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -g
  3. Replace all "$(LIBRARIES)" variables with "$(LIBRARY)" due to a bug.
  4. Save and Close
  5. Build and install :
    gmake -f GNUmakefile ; gmake -f GNUmakefile install
Now, open the forked-daapd source code, but grab a specific version (you might need to install git if you didn't get it installed earlier) specific for the iTunes 10.5.x functionality (otherwise it will time out) :
  1. mkdir tmp
  2. cd tmp/
  3. git clone https://github.com/CBGoodBuddy/forked-daapd.git
  4. cd forked-daapd
  5. git checkout itunes_v10_5
  6. autoreconf -i
  7. ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-flac --enable-musepack --enable-itunes
  8. make
  9. make install
To run the app, first modify your configuration (/etc/forked-daapd.conf), and then add a user :
useradd -s /sbin/nologin -M -r -d /var/cache/forked-daapd -c "iTunes service account" daapd
