Allocating 64 kbits/s out of 256 kbits/s for one LAN behing firewall
by Indunil Jayasooriya 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi, We have a 256 kbits/s (kilobits per second) link to the internet. it is a router running Linux that belongs to our ISP. They have given us 8 internet ips. (i.e- subnet is 255.255.255.248). one has been given to this router. I have given another internet ip to the firewall running CentOS 4.5. iptables is running on it. And also, I have installed iproute2 pkg as well. pls see below for installed pkgs. [root@firebox ~]# rpm -qa |grep iptables iptables-1.2.11-3.1.RHEL4 [root@firebox ~]# rpm -qa |grep iproute iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4 This firewall has 3 ethernet cards at the moment. one is connected to router. one is connected to our DMZ zone. one is connected to LAN1. These are ips of the firewall. eth0 (internet) - 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.248 (pls assume it. For security reason, I will not give you the actual ip) eth1 (DMZ Zone) - 192.168.100.254/255.255.255.0 eth2 (LAN1) - 192.168.101.254/255.255.255.0 Now, everyone in LAN1 has access to internet. (due to SNAT rule) Now, I want to install another ethernet card to this firewall. then, it would be eth3. eth3 will be as follows. eth3 (LAN2) - 192.168.102.254/255.255.255.0 Now, I want put about 5 people (5 PCs) behind this LAN2 and give internet access to them. But, I do not want them to use my whole bandwidth (i.e - 256 kbit/s), But Instead, I want peple behind this LAN2 to allocate 64 kbits/s(kilo bits per second) for their internert access. Is it possible to acheive this task on firewall running iptables and iproute2 (CentOS 4.5) ? If so, How can I do such thing? If I do such thing, what will happen to the people behind LAN1 ? Will they get whole 256 kbits/s as before or will they get 256 kbit/s - 64 kbit/s for their internet access? Hope to hear form you. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

about add/remove software
by beast 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

In the documentation, it says that add/remove software is use only to install from CD drive[1]. However this program refuse to run when no internet connection, why not just prompt for the installation media? assuming everybody has fast internet connection was too optimistic. 1. So what is the correct way to install/remove software after the installation (using GUI)? 2. In /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo the sample command was incorect, it should be --enablerepo=c5-media. But anyway, it still did not works here, centos cd was mounted under /media/CentOS_5.0_Final, after manually changed (is there any shortcut, ie using old good /dev/cdrom ?) : [root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install tftp Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for tftp to pack into transaction set. media://1176235114.525559%235/CentOS/tftp-0.42-3.1.el5.centos.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> Trying other mirror. Error: failed to retrieve CentOS/tftp-0.42-3.1.el5.centos.i386.rpm from c5-media error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> Also i feel that yum is to slow even when running from cache, ymmv. 3. What is the program/service responsible to automatically display media in desktop when mounted? Thanks! --beast [1] http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-software-management-tools.html

Pam module for freeradius
by Devraj Mukherjee 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi everyone, Does the default installation of pam support authenticating against radius. Or do I need the module available from the freeradius site. If yes, then is the freeradius pam module available via rpm? Thanks -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

virtual hdd problems when CentOS is guest OS
by Rogelio Bastardo 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

I recently installed VMware on CentOS 4.4 (using the single server CD). I installed VMware fine, and then installed the VMware-mui tools that allow me to use a Windows box to console to the server. From my Windows box, I can create VMs on the fly just fine. Interestingly, I can create virtual Debian boxes ok, but I can't create virtual CentOS boxes. What might I be missing? As soon as I boot to the iso, it says something about not being able to find the drive. (I didn't have this problem with CentOS when Windows was my host OS, only when CentOS is the host OS)
