tweek startup and logon
by Johan Vermeulen 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Dear All, CentOs 6 is great, but I would like to get back 2 things from 5.6 : how can I always see the text lines during startup? (so no graphical screen ) how can I *not *see all the users on the system when loging on? (so that users also have to remember their username) thanks for any advise.

Centos6 Migration glitch - Samba
by david 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Folks My experiments have shown that Samba behaves differently in Centos 5.6 and Centos 6 (updated). In Centos 5, service smb restart restarts both smb and nmb. In Centos 6, however, it restarts only smb. REMEDY: a) Make sure that both services running b) Issue chkconfig smb on chkconfig nmb on IS THIS THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR I have no idea if this difference is a "bug" or a "feature", and leave it to others to determine that.

Hello list I change failregex and finally show results! failregex = : badlogin: [-._\w]+ \[<HOST>\] plaintext [A-Za-z0-9+/] SASL$-13$: authentication failure: checkpass failed fail2ban-regex find hits. However, although a line added in iptables and I recieve an email that show the ban ip address, badlogins still continuing from the same IP. iptables -L: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination fail2ban-sasl tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp fail2ban-SSH tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh ... Chain fail2ban-sasl (1 references) target prot opt source destination DROP all -- [ip.ip.ip.ip] anywhere RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere What is wrong now? Thank you Nikos

mingetty on centos 6
by Jerry Geis 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

hi all, on centos 5 - I could trim the number of mingetty's running by editing /etc/inittab on centos 6 there are none in the /etc/inittab file but it reverences /etc/init/tty.conf. I dont see in there how to control how many mingetty's get started. Where is that? THanks, Jerry
