centos5 - logwatch - verisign

Re: centos 5 logwatch Has anyone ever looked into why verisign does this from these ips fairly frequently? It appears that it is some type of SSL probing the HTTP port, correct? Are they just gathering stats or something ? --------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------ A total of 2 sites probed the server 216.168.253.197 216.168.253.198 .....

Compromised
by Miark 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

My wife's office server was compromised today. It appears they ssh'ed in through account pcguest which was set up for Samba. (I don't remember setting up that account, but maybe I did.) At any rate, I found a bazillion "ftp_scanner" processes running. A killall finished them off quickly, I nuked the pcguest account, and switched ssh to a different port (which I normally do anyway). I used 'find' to locate ftp_scanner, which was running in a folder under /var/tmp. It seems that before I could nuke the directory, it nuked itself! Because it was running from /var/tmp, and because 'find' and 'ps' were not compromised (in that they did not hide the ftp_scanner processes or files), I'm thinking the attacker really didn't get any further than eating some bandwidth. I suppose I have no choice but to re-install, but I thought I'd run I'd get some feedback first. (Something other than, "Way to go, moron.") In the meantime, I'm pulling the plug. Miark

Network card help please
by Gary 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi ya'll, Running v5 .. I have 2 Linksys PCI cards running already without any problems. These were recognized by the system as ADMTek NC100 cards, per usual... they run on eth0 and eth2 ... have for months.... no problems. I added a third Linksys PCI card to the mobo, fired the computer up, and it is not recognized at all. It has been many years since I had this problem of a network card not being automatically recognized, so I am a little rusty. Can someone give me input on the steps needed to get this third NIC recognized please. Thanks for your help. -- Regards, Gary

buildinstall cannot find modules
by treed＠ultraviolet.org 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

When using buildinstall and CentOS 5.2 to create my own CD minus a bunch of unneeded RPM's and plus a few of my custom RPM's I find that the install CD that gets build does not install an initrd which renders the system unbootable. I also notice that when I run buildinstall with the -debug option it says: unpacking /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.x86_64.rpm.x86_64 Building initrd.img Module 3c501 not found in kernel rpm Module 3c503 not found in kernel rpm Module 3c505 not found in kernel rpm and so on for many kernel modules. I notice that the filename it says it is unpacking ends with .x86_64.rpm.x86_64. Is that normal? I google'd and found someone else saying theirs did the same thing. Could this be related to why I'm not ending up with an initrd being installed? -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
