Dump on remote filesystems?
by Scott Ehrlich 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

I have a couple C5 systems I want to back up. My plan is to, one way or another, back them up to a C5 machine in my office. I have samba installed on the systems to back up, the machines are mounted on the system in my office, and a tape library hanging of the system in my office. I was hoping to perform a simple /sbin/dump of the remote systems. I put together a script for another successful backup I have going on a system with local filesystems. But for remote filesystems, I get errors of File Cannot Be Accessed (//remote_system/subdir) which does exist as an smb mounted filesystem. I'd use NFS, but I would like a bit more control and some level of encryption for the user authentication and data being transferred. If a direct dump of remote smb filesystems isn't possible, I may opt to have each system perform their own local dumps, then run a script locally on the tape-connected machine to dump those local dumps, or copy the dumps locally then dump them to tape. If nothing else works, I can always install Windows XP and use Windows backup program, but I'd really like to try and get this going under Linux before going that route. Thanks for insights. Scott

Question on http stop responding
by Jerry Geis 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

I have a machine centos 5.1 fully up to patch that is on a network that has other machines that takes credit cards. In such an environment I have found that there is something called PCI - Payment Card Industry standards. They are scanning my machine to make sure it is OK to be on this network. One of the faults coming back is "Web server stops responding" to 3 consecutive HTTP attempts Is this a setting in http? Anyone familiar with this? Thanks, Jerry

Resizing a fat filesystem on a USB partition
by Dogsbody 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi All, I feel this is the most simple question but I am currently going around and round in circles and searches keep bringing me up Windows tools!! :-( I have a 512MB USB drive that has a 12MB FAT16 partition on it. How can I resize this 12MB partition to grow and fill the whole 512MB drive? Just in case I am being stupid, here is what I am doing... :-) I would like a quick USB drive that a machine can boot from but will then load and run some custom tools we have. I have done a... dd if=/mirrors/centos/5/os/i386/images/diskboot.img of=/dev/sda ... which gives the 12MB partition but now I want to grow it so I can then add my own apps. Thank you very much in advance Regards, Dan

Command limiting with SSH keys and password auth ...
by Ian 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi all, I'm trying to do a setup (Centos 4.4), with ssh keys. Ideal is that remote you can enter a limited set of commands with no password "or" you can ssh in with password and get a normal bash prompt. At the moment I have from="::ffff:x.x.x.x",command="/usr/local/bin/allowedcommands.sh" ssh-rsa <restofkey> (allowed commands I do checks for which ones are allowed and will add anything dodgy to check for) in authorized_keys2. This all works with the keys I have, I can do an ssh <server> ls for example (ls being allowed), which works, otherwise it returns nothing if not allowed command is given. Main problem I have is if you enter no command (simply ssh <server>) it also kicks you out, I'd like it to ask for a password if no command is given, and then if correct pass you onto a normal shell. Is such a thing possible, or other avenues to get to the same point ? Thanks in advance, Ian

RHEL / CentOS Kernel Updates
by Manish Kathuria 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

How are the updated kernels released by Red Hat / Cent OS related to the latest vanilla kernels ? Are the changes, new features and drivers, etc. available in the newer kernels also ported to the updated kernels released by Red Hat in their entirety ? For the lifetime of a distribution like RHEL 4 or RHEL 5, Red Hat would stick to the same major and minor number of the kernel and would just change release numbers. What is the relation, if any, between the new kernels and the updates released by Red Hat ? Thanks, -- Manish Kathuria Tux Technologies http://www.tuxtechnologies.co.in/

Re: [CentOS] Re: Network routes
by Ross S. W. Walker 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Sorry for the top post. The default route is the route applied when no other route matches the destination IP. From that how would you figure out which default route to pick, only if the routes were weighted could you pick between two. If you had two routes with equal weight and the traffic went round robin between them then the originating host will discard half the returning traffic because it's not coming from the same ip it sent it to. No your best bet is probably to do reverse NAT'ing as it is simple to setup and you don't have to worry about default routes and weight. Traffic initiates on 1 gateway and sticks with it for the duration of the session. You can use BGP on the gateways outside interface to load balance or fail-over the default gateway or use round-robin DNS, MX records for mail, etc. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: centos(a)centos.org <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Tue Jan 29 18:03:13 2008 Subject: [CentOS] Re: Network routes on 1/29/2008 2:53 PM Jason Pyeron spake the following: > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org >> [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Ross S.

The default route is the route that packets need to take to leave your network to enter the outside world. Every thing under your control should have static routes of some kind, or a routing daemon. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

Re: [CentOS] Resizing a fat filesystem on a USB partition
by Ross S. W. Walker 29 Jan '08

Look for gnu parted. There are a couple of live cds out there with it, like "Parted Magic" and others. Parted can resize fat and ntfs file systems among others. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Tue Jan 29 17:53:07 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Resizing a fat filesystem on a USB partition > AFAIK, there is no way to "resize" any FAT partition.
