by MontyRee 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

hello all. My system is centos 5.x and there is no module related auditd there is no process(daemon) related auditd and selinux definately disabled. But I can see lots of auditd messages like below. Oct 20 02:01:01 linux kernel: type=1106 audit(1224435661.064:65210): user pid=25860 uid=0 auid=0 msg='PAM: session close acct="root" : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' Is there any way to disable this messages? if I should change /etc/audit/auditd.conf file, please let me know which config should I change. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ 녹돌이의 A+ 중간고사 준비 노하우 공개! 지금 클릭하세요! http://mswindowslive.tistory.com/54

release/update question
by Matthias Leopold 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

hi, since i don't use centos very heavily i'm not too familiar with the centos/rhel release/update process (and i didn't do much research on this): is it normal behavior that through the use of "yum update" systems are forced to follow the point releases of a major release (5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.2, etc)? is there a way and would it make sense to stay within one particular release and receive only security updates? or is this question pointless because point releases _are_ only security updates? thx for teaching a debian user matthias

by Abdullah Teke 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi; I have Centos 5.3 on my labtop and have to vpn a cisco vpn server. So i installed vpnc on my box. Then i want to integrate with NetworkManager and vpnc so i also installed NetworkManager-vpnc 7.0. I configured vpn connection and tried to connect. It looks like it connected but when i try to login my server at behind of the vpn server, i cant reach them. I check the routes and it looks like at below. [root@localhost sysconfig]# route Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 10.15.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 10.255.0.136 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 tun0 10.15.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tun0 When i check the log files everthing seems ok at all.

I can reach my servers. There isnt any error while try with networkmanager vpnc, but it cant connect actually When i looked at routes again. It is shown the same values. Any idea? -- Abdullah Teke --------------------------- abdullahteke(a)gmail.com www.abdullahteke.com

Changing a user's shell on CentOS Directory Server?
by Matt Harrington 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Should unprivileged users be able to change their shell with lchsh on 5.3 and, if it matters, CentOS Directory Server? lchsh seems to require more open permissions than those which come with a default installation: Error initializing libuser: could not open configuration file `/etc/default/useradd': Permission denied.
