ssh error in /var/log/secure
by Michael A. Peters 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Hi - I just bought a xen VPS and am running CentOS 5 on it (updated to 5.2). With all my personal machines sitting at home behind a router with all ports (except for BitTorrent) closed - I had forgotten how frequent brute force ssh attacks are, but within a day, the log was loaded with them. So I did two things - I installed and configured pam_abl and I moved the ssh port to 1294 ( a > 1024 number that means something to me so easy to remember) and then blocked port 22 in iptables. Interestingly - after installing pam_able before I configured and restarted sshd, pam_able was already building a database of hosts - the attacks were that frequent. Nothing after restarting sshd on the new port though, at least so far. Anyway - while the server is working on the new port and I can connect, I noticed this error: Oct 4 09:01:25 li34-4 sshd[2305]: Server listening on :: port 1294. Oct 4 09:01:25 li34-4 sshd[2305]: error: Bind to port 1294 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. Is that caused by a mis-configuration on my part? The only change I made to sshd was the Port directive (root login was already disabled in the xen image I started from) It looks like it is listening on the port and then trying to bind to the port a second time. Is that from having two IPs on the same nic (eth0 and eth0:1) ?

Putting CentOS 5.2 kernel on CentOS 4.x
by Fong Vang 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Has anyone tried to install a CentOS 5.x kernel on a CentOS 4.x system? Is this doable? I"m aware of the dependencies but I'm curious if anyone has done this successfully. Basically, we have a few hundred 4.x systems that cannot be upgraded to 5.x, yet, but we do need the kernel update to fix the XFS problem as described here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3125

Or you can do it like this: find . -type f -exec grep -H <pattern> {} \; >From the man page: -H, --with-filename Print the filename for each match. -- Bowie

I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system. What do people use to backup Centos systems? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

"Treason uncloaked!"
by John R Pierce 03 Oct '08

got a centos5.2 web/database server thats on a public coloc, its dmesg fills up with TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 82.135.195.32:64905/8032 shrinks window 354477433:354478918. Repaired.

I know thats because of random bogosity coming in from the internet, and I really don't care. can I suppress that from filling up the dmesg buffer so I can see more important things like scsi soft errors?

I tend to use a combination of 'find' and 'grep'. It looks something like this: find . -type f -name '*.txt' | xargs grep 'whatever' Add the '-l' option to grep if you just want a list of the filenames. -- Bowie
