php4 under Centos6
by Michael Kress 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, is there any way of getting php4 installed on Centos6? I'd like to install it in an apache/fastcgi environment. Has anybody got a link to a description/howto describing a clean install? I failed compiling the original php4 tar ball and failed relocating the php binary. Thanks in advance Regards Michael

MirrorList.centos.org is now available on ipv6 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:12:00 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] MirrorList.centos.org is now available on ipv6 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4FD64300.7010605(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Everyone, It gives me great pleasure to announce that mirrorlist.centos.org is now available on ipv6; in addition to the existing ipv4 functionality. This is a full featured service, using geoip on the server end to hand out local-to-user IPv6 mirrors. Every url handed out is verified at regular intervals and only the freshest ones used. Our IPv6 mirror network is presently just under 150 hosts spread over 32 different countries - with a large bias towards the USA and Western Europe. We would love to bring on more machines to get better coverage around the world. In the 30 minutes since we turned it on, we are serving just over 8 requests per second over ipv6. So while its not huge, its a significant number and one that we imagine will only grow. I would like to thank Anssi Johansson ( http://twitter.com/avij ), member of the CentOS QA team and resident IPv6 champion, for his efforts in pushing for this service. Then helping build it and test it. Note that we do not have DNS on ipv6, so we still rely on the user end hosts having an upstream dual stacke dns resolver enroute to ns*.centos.org - we will try and fix this in the near future. If you have any feedback, or run into issues, please come find us on irc at #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net or open an issue report at http://bugs.centos.org/ Enjoy the v6 goodness, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 88, Issue 7 **********************************************

RHEV-H / RHEV-M on CentOS?
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi Dudes/Dudettes, Does anyone know if Red Hat's bare metal KVM solution, RHEV-H, and the management component, RHEV-M, are available for CentOS? All I know is RHEV-M was being ported to Java and it would be getting released soon. I suppose RHEV-H isn't 100% necessary. Just running a minimum CentOS install for your KVMs would give you essentially the same thing. If there was a similar bare metal install option like RHEV-H through CentOS, I could see going that route for my deployments eventually.

working dhcpd.conf with routes
by Boris Epstein 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Hello listmates, I am running DHCPD for IPv4 on a Centos 5 machine. I am wondering if anyone has got a functional dhcpd.conf configuration serving static routes to Linux, Mac OS X and Windows clients. I tried a couple of variations of static-routes options - but have yet to create something that would work. Thanks. Boris.

centos 6.2 xfs + nfs space allocation
by Stephan van Hienen 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Centos 6.2 system with xfs filesystem. I'm sharing this filesystem using nfs. When I create a 10 gigabyte test file from a nfs client system : dd if=/dev/zero of=10Gtest bs=1M count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 74.827 s, 140 MB/s Output from 'ls -al ; du' during this test : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 429170688 Jun 8 10:13 10Gtest 654456 10Gtest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1756831744 Jun 8 10:13 10Gtest 2230720 10Gtest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2492145664 Jun 8 10:11 10Gtest 4348288 10Gtest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4686782464 Jun 8 10:11 10Gtest 8542592 10Gtest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10485760000 Jun 8 10:12 10Gtest 16943552 10Gtest The file is using almost double the size ? Even after a few days the file is showing the same disk usage. Only umounting and remounting the filesystem fixes the problem. When I do the same test on an ext4 filesystem no issues. (same server/client) Same issue on 2 centos 6.2 servers. I also tried to reproduce the issue on an rhel 5.8 system with xfs, but here the disk usage is ok. (I don't have a rhel6 systems with the xfs addon subscription) Stephan

iptables: hitcount
by Helmut Drodofsky 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Hello, up to CentOS 5.3 it was possible, to control new ip connections by "recent", "seconds" and "hitcount" -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --set -p tcp --dport 80 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 1000 -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG --log-prefix "FW DROP IP Flood: " -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 1000 -j DROP -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT so that - short time high new connections rate for the web server where accepted, but not over a longer time. E.g. CentOS 5.8 or CentOS 6.2 accept only -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --set -p tcp --dport 80 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 1 --hitcount 15 -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG --log-prefix "FW DROP IP Flood: " -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 1 --hitcount 15 -j DROP -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT So a complex web page with many small icons e.g. webmail pages initiate the log in line 2 and drop in line 3 . hitcount does not accept values of 25 or above: [root@server ~]# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --set -p tcp --dport 80 [root@server~]# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 1 --hitcount 25 -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG --log-prefix "FW DROP IP Flood: " iptables: Unknown error 4294967295 what can i do to protect the web server? Is there any any configuration parameter to increase the values for hitcount?
