Problem with disconnecting SSH-sessions
by H 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

I am running CentOS 7 on a workstation and CentOS 6 and 7 on a couple of servers I am remotely connecting to using the same username and thus ssh configuration. However, one of the servers running CentOS 6 I keep getting disconnected from whereas I have no such problems with another CentOS 6 server and CentOS 7 server. The latter two are on two different hosted server setups far, far away whereas the problematic one is my own physical hardware in the same building. I have tried to make sure the sshd configuration on all servers are identical but still have this problem. I can rule out a general problem with the router in my office since all connections are via that router, the only difference is that the problematic server is in the same building and the connection loops back via the same router but through an external IP address. /var/log/secure on the workstation offers no clues with no messages regarding any disconnection. If anyone has suggestions what I should check, it would be greatly appreciated!

Blocking attacks from a range of IP addresses
by H 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

I am being attacked by an entire subnet where the first two parts of the IP address remain identical but the last two parts vary sufficiently that it is not caught by fail2ban since the attempts do not meet the cut-off of a certain number of attempts within the given time. Has anyone created a fail2ban filter for this type of attack? As of right now, I have manually banned a range of IP addresses but would like to automate it for the future.

Re: [CentOS] Block attacks from a range of IP addresses

Hi, I'm using sshguard to acomplish this. You can acutally choose tthe size of the range you want to block, /8 of /16, no problem. It works perfect! It is included in the repo both for C7 and C8.

Building and packaging httpd
by Benson Muite 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hi, Am rebuilding httpd from scratch to enable http2 and minimize extra modules on Cent Os 8. Am having trouble understanding the spec file [0] and systemd initialization [1][2][3] (these are very similar to those extracted from [4]). Why are 3 scripts needed to start the service and why is a pid setting not needed as used in the httpd.service file at [5]?

copying files to fill flash drives
by Frank Cox 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Back in the days of DOS I had a program that I obtained from somewhere called FILL. FILL would take the name of a directory and then start writing files from that directory onto a series of floppy disks in such a way that each disk was made as full as possible, but without modifying the files that it was writing. So you might end up with disk 1 having files A B and D on them since D fitted but C was too big so it went onto Disk 2 along with files E and F. Before I re-invent the wheel here, does someone already have a way to do this with Linux so you can write a series of flash drives and fill them with the contents of a specified directory without modifying the files that get written? The reason that I specify without modifying the files is that I could do this easily with tar and split, but then I end up with a tar file and can't just look on disk 1 and copy file A off of it later on. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Using shared printers in CentOS 8
by Robert Nichols 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

How do I let a CentOS 8 client make use of the shared printers advertised by CUPS on the network? In CentOS 6, this was just a matter in a checkbox "Show printers shared by other systems" on the CUPS Admin page. Is this function still available somehow? Manually adding all the shared printers on every client would be painful. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

Centos 6 iwl3945
by Ken Smith 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with an iwl3945 wireless adaptor in my laptop running Centos 6. Recently it has been failing to connect to a either 2.4G or 5G Wi-Fi coming from a Draytek Wireless Router. It has usually managed to connect in the past although it has sometimes been a little temperamental. I'm not sure what has changed that has stopped it working. I've tried Kernels 2.6.32-754.24.34 down to 2.6.32-754.15.3 in Centos 6 without it working. This machine also has an old Fedora Core 14 boot with Kernel 2.6.35.14-97 that connects to Wi-Fi just fine. Also the laptop dual boots Win 7 and that also connects to Wi-Fi without issue. How would I go about diagnosing this in the Centos 6 boot? Thanks Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

gcc 8/9 on CentOS 7
by sthustfo 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I am looking to make use of gcc 8/9 on CentOS 7, which is currently with gcc 4.8.5. How do I go about doing this? SCL repository provides the same as part of devtoolset8, but devtoolset8 libstdc++-devel i686 package is missing, without which I can not build 32 bit applications. Are there any repository sources from where I can get this? Otherwise, I am open to building the packages from sources. Please let me know how can one go about this. Any suggestions and pointers appreciated.
