/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xxx for CHAP PPPoE
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi all I get a Cisco 1841 router, connecting the office through a CHAP PPPoE link: [...] interface Dialer1 ip address negotiated ip mtu 1492 ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly encapsulation ppp ip tcp adjust-mss 1452 dialer pool 1 dialer-group 1 no cdp enable ppp authentication chap callin ppp chap hostname username@isp ppp chap password 0 s0meStr0ngP4sswd [...] As a fallback solution, I would like to setup a CentOS Dual NIC 1U unit. I dont want to use NetworkManager, I'd rather use the bare interface configuration tools. I'm running CentOS 6.3 I looked for the right way to configure the internface: - http://goo.gl/UaNBe: officiel doc, found no indication. - http://goo.gl/DQ5Gk: using rp-pppoe, is it the right way? - http://goo.gl/PTaes: seem to be right, but which package is it from? -- RMA.

Just panicsville. I am trying to pack up to fly to meetings tomorrow, and saw this big update. It has been too long since I was serious with Centos, and forgot that dot releases are major changes to the life of your server. No way to bite off small bits. So I will download the full current repos to my server over the week way, then apply them after I get back. Just a case of bad timing on my part, resulting in an unnecessary panic. Sorry all.

by Austin Einter 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Dear All I have a CentOS 6.3 machine. I am trying to setup DNS BIND setup in that machine. It is having a static global IP. I have done lot of reading , google search and tried all possible option, but still not able to resolve the issue. My named.conf looks as below. * * * // named.conf // // Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS // server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only). // // See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files. // options { listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 10.0.0.1; }; listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; }; directory "/var/named"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; query-source address * port 53; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt"; allow-query { localhost; 10.0.0.1/24; 10.0.0.254/24; }; recursion yes; dnssec-enable yes; dnssec-validation yes; dnssec-lookaside auto; /* Path to ISC DLV key */ bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key"; managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic"; }; logging { channel default_debug { file "data/named.run"; severity dynamic; }; }; zone "."

I have done this since more than 60 hours. Still I am not able to resolve ns1.netcloudjobs.com. Can somebody help here. Best Regards Austin

yum update gone wild? - new base?
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I am being hit on a number of my systems with yum update reporting 270+ rpms to update, and MOST are coming from the base repo. I checked a few out, and yes, they are of a higher release. I don't recall ever seeing the base repo change; it is almost like it is picking up the the 6.4 base repo instead. Anyone else seeing this. I JUST did an install from my local repo copy of the 6.3 base and update using a netinstall kickstart, then yum tells me that there are 270+ updates...

I have posted it months ago here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Redhat-Enterprise-6/td-p/1210… Actually, I also posted to the c6 fora back then and suggested to document it more precisely in the wiki. That posting was immediately closed without further ado. Someone even followed me to the skype fora, only to state that I'm just talking bullshit and that http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype has all you need to know. And of course yes: Skype-4.1 is running nicely here on x86_64 for all these months. And it doesn't require anything special -- and certainly not breaking your installation with some weird Qt-4.7.

Though I need the i686 version, but given the x86_64, I found the i686 one.

802.11 Access Point software
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Is there a way (software) to turn a Centos server into an AP? The server will have DHCP and RADVD, so no ARP proxying needed. This is for a small lab setup. yumex is not helping me search for an answer.

CentOS 5 sshd does not log IP address of reverse mapping failure
by Tilman Schmidt 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I'm running a mix of CentOS 5 and 6 servers reachable by ssh from the Internet. Of course I allow only public key authentication and no root login. In addition I'm running fail2ban to block obnoxious brute force attack sources. On CentOS 6 this is working pretty well, but on CentOS 5 there's one class of attacks fail2ban fails to ban. (No pun intended.) This isn't fail2ban's fault, but openssh's. When the source IP address of a failed attempt fails the reverse mapping check, CentOS 6 (openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6_3.x86_64) logs: Mar 3 04:06:34 posthamster sshd[1718]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hn.ly.kd.adsl [61.163.113.72] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! from which fail2ban can pick up and block IP address 61.163.113.72 just fine. CentOS 5 (openssh-server-4.3p2-82.el5) OTOH logs: Mar 3 04:44:48 gimli sshd[12870]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hn.ly.kd.adsl failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! without the IP address. The name is of no use because sshd just confirmed that it doesn't really correspond to the attacker's IP address. Any ideas how to remedy that situation?
