Log viewing and analysis tools
by David McGuffey 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab. He comes from the Microsoft Windows world and is not a *nix trained person. I know I can configure logwatch. I can also create a script containing various 'aureport' runs into a cron job. Any recommendations for a GUI-based tool that would be easy for him to learn? Dave M

27 Aug '12

Hi guys, I want to build openvswitch kernel module, and my centos is 6.0, kernel version is 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64. But i cannot find the kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64. I use the yum command to install kernel-headers package: yum install kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64, it says no package available. (BTW My yum repos is coming from http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30.) Please help me if you have this package, or plz tell me where can find it. Thanks in advanced, Kris

vi defaults in 6.x
by Les Mikesell 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level. Is there some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every machine/user where I might log in? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

OT: what are all these probes from my firewall log????
by fred smith 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

I'm getting a gazillion of these probes in my firewall logs. I don't understand what's going on here,... These all look like bootp requests from 10.21.72.1, to 255.255.255.255. there's certainly no 10.x.x.x here on this network, and I don't get the destination address... is it possible to send packets out onto the internet addressed like that? whois doesn't turn up anything on 10.21.72.1. Anybody got suggestions on how I'd track this down? Thanks!

Centos machine sometimes unreachable
by Richard Reina 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

I have a simple perl script that every few hours pings the handful of machines on my LAN. Lately I've sometimes been getting ping of 192.168.0.1 succeeded ping of 192.168.0.7 succeeded ping of 192.168.0.5 FAILED ping of 192.168.0.6 succeeded ping of 192.168.0.9 succeeded This machine in question has been running Centos faithfully for about six years and no recent changes to it have been made. When I try and ping the machine manually it works. /var/og/messages does not seem irregular. Does anyone know know what might be the problem or what else I might check? Thanks, Richard

write-intent bitmap
by Markus Falb 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, On CentOS 6 I noticed very high load after installing and while the md raid 1 array was syncing. I found lots of complaints about performance degradation for md raid with enabled write-intent bitmap. See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/write-intent-bitmaps/ for example. So I wanted to it off. I let it sync and then removed the bitmap. Do you know of a way to not enable a write-intent bitmap while installing? I had a look at the Kickstart section in Upstreams Installation guide but found nothing. My only idea was a %post section stop the sync (hmm, but how, I think I have to consult mdadm(8) remove the bitmap start the sync again Maybe there is better way? Some kind of trick? I realize that I can set a bigger chunk size (but how big?) for the bitmap. But again, how do I do it while installing/kickstarting. - -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlA4mosACgkQYoWFBIJE9eV5awCfSahv1b7DJ7YdHiJVI6ewjx8x De0An215k6nzYH+lk+1hsGMSzM59TnMV =580F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
