RE: [CentOS] pppd and radius

So at least there is no patching required (the patch is still out there, but I think it's for 2.4.1). It would be nice to have someone maintain an RPM in a reputable repo for it, but I really wonder how much need there is for this particular configuration. It would be interesting to find out what if anything others are doing to provide dialin services with CentOS. With broadband getting cheaper and hot-spots becoming more accessible we find far less need, but there are always those situations... alex

Java JDK on CentOS 4.4
by Edward Diener 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

I did not choose Java when I installed CentOS 4.4 and I want to install a JDK to do Java programming. What is the default Java JDK for CentOS 4.4 ? I see under YumEx very little which looks like a Java JDK. Is there one in the distribution ? Is there a way to get Sun's latest JDK 5 installed safely and successfully on CentOS 4.4, perhaps via an RPM for it tailored to CentOS 4.4, or should I just use the one on Sun's web site ? After installing the RPM is there anything else I have to do to get it to work properly in CentOS 4.4 ? Any help is gratefully appreciated.

Hello! on my centos 4.4 i have enable selinux, but after this change syslogd can't no more run: # /etc/init.d/syslog restart Shutting down kernel logger: [ OK ] Shutting down system logger: [FAILED] Starting system logger: syslogd: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [FAILED] Starting kernel logger: [ OK ] and in dmesg centos report me that: audit(1163775960.711:5): avc: denied { read } for pid=4325 comm="syslogd" name="libc.so.6" dev=dm-0 ino=4562290 scontext=root:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=lnk_file audit(1163775960.711:6): avc: denied { read } for pid=4325 comm="syslogd" name="libc.so.6" dev=dm-0 ino=4562290 scontext=root:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=lnk_file audit(1163775960.711:7): avc: denied { read } for pid=4325 comm="syslogd" name="libc.so.6" dev=dm-0 ino=4562222 scontext=root:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=lnk_file The installation in very basic, but contain piranha, pulse, and others rpm from RHCS.

hi evryone, the command netstat -patn | grep LISTEN shows the next line tcp 0 0 ::1:6010 :::* LISTEN 5195/1 and the command ps ax|grep 5195 shows 5195 ? Ss 0:00 sshd: root@pts/1 i was thinking if this is normal when i connect to the server through ssh, but in another server centos doesn't appear a similar line in the netstat command thanks for any explication/orientation

sendmail/RPM question
by Dan Pritts 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hi all - I've got a regular problem that i've been fixing by hand for a long time but i'm hoping i can get some advice about the right way to solve it. I replace the default redhat/centos sendmail configuration files with my own set. I have always just done this by hand. One thing I do is completely whack submit.cf. when i update the system, RPM recreates this file. I've manually fixed things in the meantime, so I'm not sure of this, but I kinda think that it updates sendmail.cf too (specifically, I make a symlink sendmail.cf to my own cf file; i haven't experimented to see what happens when i install directly. I know at a very basic level how to create an RPM. But I expect that if I create an RPM containing sendmail.cf, I will get a conflict with the existing sendmail.cf from the sendmail rpm; and I don't know how to override it. I also don't know how to make it so that the submit.cf file just doesn't exist; I am pretty sure that if that file exists, it will get called by default when people call sendmail from the command line. Suggestions? (not to include, "give in to running sendmail as a daemon in submission mode, etc") thanks danno -- Dan Pritts, System Administrator Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224

pppd and radius
by Alex Palenschat 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

I've been googling, but after getting nowhere for a while I thought I'd ask for a direction to head in. I am replacing a RH7.1 box that was performing dial-in service using a pppd patched for radius support. I'd prefer not to do things this way and would like to use a more easily updated configuration. What I need it to do is do auth against a radius server and support windows clients. What is the RHEL/Centos way of doing this? alex

by R Lists06 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Can someone please tell me what the name and or website of the open source realtime daemon or script is that automatically puts ip addresses in the hosts.deny file when servers are repeatedly probed for login/password pairs on ftp ports etc please? It was mentioned in the last year on this list if I remember right. I had bookmarked at one time and I cant seem to web search or find it otherwise.

Replay mail to test MTA + filtering
by MrKiwi 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hi All, My kit : Centos4.4 + Postfix + SA + ClamAV (not that its relevant) General question - Does anyone know of a product which can take a folder / mbox of mail (spam, ham, virus infected stuff, scam mail and hoaxes) and "replay" it back against a test server to determine the servers ability to filter? I have looked at some low level (IP) packet replayers, but i cant really find anything suitable at the mail/smtp level. It would have to "simulate" connections from external IP addresses to allow RBL etc to work and also i guess i would have to choose an "MTA style" of the sender to be simulated so that the MTA i am testing can do its thing when some tries something which fails the smtpd_*_restrictions tests. It will probably be the case that i need to "recapture" the mail at a higher detail, as an RFC compliant unit of mail in my mailbox doesn't tell me anything about how the smtp conversation went, and certainly doesn't allow me to recreate the conversation. Is anyone building something like this? Any hints appreciated. Regards, MrKiwi
