Fedora and CentOS no longer on speaking terms
by Anne Wilson 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

I have just upgraded my server from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 and am having connectivity problems. My laptop runs Fedora 14, and I have been in the habit of mounting data partitions on my server by fstab entries. Since the update I've not been able to do that. On watching the messages during a reboot I saw a statement that the connection was denied by the server (where are those messages stored so that I can quote accurately?). I have temporarily disabled both the firewall and selinux, and the problem persists, so clearly they are not the cause. Logwatch has the following section which may or may not be connected: --------------------- Connections (secure-log) Begin ------------------------ Userhelper executed applications: anne -> system-config-users as root: 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix- session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 successfully authenticated as unix-user:root to gain TEMPORARY authorization for action org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth for system-bus-name::1.88 [/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/system-config-firewall] (owned by unix-user:anne): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.24 [/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 (system bus name :1.45 [/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.utf8): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.24, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus): 1 Time(s) polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session6 (system bus name :1.214, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.utf8) (disconnected from bus): 1 Time(s) ---------------------- Connections (secure-log) End ------------------------- An example fstab line is /Data1 /nfs4exports/Data1 none bind 0 0 Under CentOS 5 this was mounted by the exports line: /nfs4exports/Data1 192.168.0.0/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohide) Following advice, I have changed this to: /Data1/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 *(rw,sync,insecure,no_all_squash) That hasn't helped at all. I'm completely at a loss, and really need to get this connection working again. I've done lots of googling and reading, but just feel to be digging an ever-deeper hole. All help appreciated. Anne

PHP 5.3: IUS vs CentOS repos
by Kenneth Porter 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

I need to upgrade PHP because the latest WordPress requires one at least at 5.2.4. What are the tradeoffs of using the php53 packages provided by CentOS versus IUS? I've seen that installing the RHEL-derived php53 requires removing php first and it creates package conflicts because it doesn't provide a virtual php-common package. That suggests I should install the IUS package. Is there any reason to avoid IUS and stay with the CentOS package? <http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2011/07/24/updating-php-in-rhelcentos-…>

I haven't heard anything more about the centos tee shirts KB mentioned a few weeks ago.

Problem booting in CentOS 5.6
by John J. Boyer 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

The last update for CentOS 5.6 included a new kernel. Now when I boot there is a message on the console saying "mounting cifs: Password". If someone presses enter it continues to boot. This is very inconvenient, since I access my machine by ssh. Is there some way to get it to boot without pausing? Thanks, John -- John J.

which firewall to automatically block bandwidth abusers?
by Rudi Ahlers 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi, I'm looking for a firewall (preferably on Linux / UNIX) that could automatically block bandwidth abusers as soon as a connection goes over a certain speed, or limit - i.e. either more than say 3Mb/s or 10GB in a giving period (like weekly / monthly). But, I need it to block the IP to, or where the traffic comes from, or goes to. i.e. a user logs into a web server and upload a LOT of data, then the firewall should block him, but not other people. Or, someone uploads a small bit of data but downloads a lot of data and then get's blocked. But I need to set thresholds And I should be able to exclude certain IP's / domains from the limits. Does this make sense? Can this be done with iptables? If so, how? If not, what else could I use for this? A normal DDOS prevention firewall doesn't really work since it only blocks traffic coming in. But I need to limit traffic going out as well. The servers behind the firewall will serve mail, http, ftp, sql and SSH -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
