Sendmail Masquerade
by Ken Smith 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi All, I'm usually quite good with sendmail on Centos 5.8 but I must have missed something here. I've not done this before but, I want to set sendmail so that its outgoing mail appears to come from the domain of the network it lives on. Its real hostname is server2.domain.co.uk ( the domain bit is substituted for this post) and I want it to send as domain.co.uk, that is really valid, but the specific host server2.domain.co.uk does not have an A record and other mailservers reject its outgoing mail because server2.domain.co.uk does not resolve. But with these settings in sendmail.mc it still sends as server2.domain.co.uk if I simply type "mail -s test kens(a)kensnet.org" into bash. MASQUERADE_AS(`domain.co.uk')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain.co.uk)dnl (Yes I have done the m4 bit and restarted sendmail) If I telnet to sendmail on port 25 and manually send as username(a)domain.co.uk it has the right "from" address. So what have I missed? Thanks Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

6.3 missing updates and packages
by Leonard den Ottolander 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi, The fact that apparently the last tigervnc update from upstream was missed triggered me to check for missing updates and packages in 6.3. Here are my results. Sorry for any false positives that might have crept in, but note that some of the 6_x updates actually are updates and not a parsing error. And perhaps an occasional false positive due to having to compare upstream SRPMS vs downstream RPMS. CentOS: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6 RHEL63: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1 Yes, this is an update, despite the 6_1 confusion. Unless dmidecode-2.11-2.el6.src.rpm == dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1.src.rpm. CentOS: espeak-1.40.02-3.1.el6 RHEL63: espeak-1.40.02-4.el6 CentOS: gawk-3.1.7-9.el6 RHEL63: gawk-3.1.7-10.el6 CentOS: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6 RHEL63: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2 Yes this is an update, despite the 6_2 confusion. Unless gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6.src.rpm == gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2.src.rpm. CentOS: gvfs-1.4.3-12.el6 RHEL63: gvfs-1.4.3-15.el6 CentOS: iok-1.3.13-2.el6 RHEL63: iok-1.3.13-3.el6 CentOS: irssi-0.8.15-3.el6 RHEL63: irssi-0.8.15-5.el6 CentOS: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.45.1.11.1.el6 RHEL63: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 CentOS: logrotate-3.7.8-15.el6 RHEL63: logrotate-3.7.8-16.el6 CentOS: pm-utils-1.2.5-9.el6 RHEL63: pm-utils-1.2.5-10.el6 CentOS: python-rhsm-0.96.15-1.el6 RHEL63: python-rhsm-0.99.12-1.el6 CentOS: vios-proxy-0.1-1.el6 RHEL63: vios-proxy-0.2-1.el6 tigervnc-1.0.90-0.15.20110314svn4359.el6_1.1.src.rpm is missing from my scripts output but an update, so I guess I'll have to fix my script too ;) Missing packages: be2net-4.0.160r-3.el6_1 bnx2-2.2.1.32.269-1.el6_2 bnx2fc-1.0.10.32.269-1.el6_2 bnx2i-2.7.2.1.32.269-1.el6_2 bnx2x-1.72.00_0.32.269-1.el6_2 cdrkit-1.1.9-11.el6 clustermon-0.16.2-18.el6 cnic-2.5.10.32.269-1.el6_2 compat-gcc-295-2.95.3-86.el6 compat-gcc-296-2.96-144.el6 compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-69.el6 ding-libs-0.1.2-9.el6 hpwdt-1.2.0-2.el6_0 hunspell-no-2.0.10-5.1.el6 igb-3.0.6_k-2.el6_1 iprutils-2.3.9-2.el6 ixgbe-3.4.8_k-3.el6_1 kdebindings-4.3.4-5.el6 Perhaps superceded? libehca-1.2.2-3.el6 libica-2.1.0-2.el6 librtas-1.3.4-2.el6 libservicelog-1.1.9-6.el6 lsvpd-1.6.10-5.el6 mlx4_core-1.1.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind mlx4_en-2.0.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind mlx4_ib-1.0.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind mpitests-3.2-5.el6 Actually available as mpitests-subs, but behind C6 @ 3.2-4.el6 openssl-ibmca-1.2.0-2.el6_2.1 ovirt-node-1.9.3-28.1.el6 powerpc-utils-1.2.10-2.el6 Not included because CentOS does not support power? ppc64-diag-2.4.2-10.el6 Not included because CentOS does not support power? ppc64-utils-0.14-10.el6 Not included because CentOS does not support power? report-0.18-9.el6 s390utils-1.8.2-48.el6 servicelog-1.1.7-3.el6 RHN related? snd_core-1.0.21.6.3.0-1.el6_2 snd_hda-1.0.21.6.3.0-1.el6_2 snd-hda-1.0-1.el6_0 Package apparently renamed and split, neither snd-hda, snd_core nore snd_hda available tg3-3.122-2.el6_2 virt-who-0.6-6.el6 xorg-x11-drv-geode-2.11.12-1.el6 xorg-x11-drv-neomagic-1.2.5-1.el6 yaboot-1.3.14-39.el6 zaf-0-0.3.20080714svn.1.el6 And a few more hits that I need to check, possible RPMS that do not produce packages with their own name but only with extensions, f.e. libassuan that only produces libassuan-devel.

CentOS 6 vs. other RHEL clones: security advisory comparison
by Janne Snabb 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello, I made some statistics and comparisons about security advisories published by three popular RHEL 6 clones: CentOS 6, Oracle Linux 6 and Scientific Linux 6. The article is available at the following URL: http://bitrate.epipe.com/rhel-vs-centos-scientific-oracle-linux-6_187 I hope you find it interesting. Looks like CentOS has been doing quite well this year in this regard. Feedback is welcome, but please post it at the bottom of the article or to myself in private. Do *not* send it to this mailing list unless your message is specifically about CentOS. Please do not start a flame war on this mailing list. In case the graphs are not visible in your browser, you should start using a browser which supports current technologies (specifically: SVG graphics). Best Regards, -- Janne Snabb / EPIPE Communications snabb(a)epipe.com - http://epipe.com/

default gateway outside of the LAN
by Boris Epstein 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello all, We have a somewhat unique setup whereby our default router is outside of the local network. Let us say our network is 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0 So we have a route-eth0 file that looks something like this: 10.1.1.1 via 192.168.10.1 dev eth0 default 10.1.1.1 dev eth0 The last definition would simply not take - but it has to for the setup to work. And no, 192.168.10.1 does not operate as a full-fledge router due to our setup. When we attempt to add it manually we get the following error: RTNETLINK answers: No such process When we use ifup we get the following: Error: either "to" is a duplicate, or "10.1.1.1" is a garbage. A little discussion of this can be found here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-st… and here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/etc-init-d-netwo… It does not help us, however. Any tips much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

better securing files on files servers
by Gregory Machin 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi. I have a couple of questions : I have inherited a file server that provides Samba and NFS file shares. We use a combination on file system acls and posix permissions . I'm looking to better secure access to the files by trimming some of the permissions etc. 1) What services could break if I change the umask from 022 to 007 thus by default only user and group have rw access to the files and directories ignoring facls ? 2) I have found that using samba and NFS to share the same file system are not so grate as when some windows file permissions are set this cause the file permissions to be more open eg permissions for other get set to rwx, when this is not wanted as over NFS this grants everyone access to the files. Is there a workaround for this ? 3) are there any best practices for configuring file system acls, that will ensure better data security , other then the obvious limiting of write and execute permissions. Any other recommendations around using NFS and Samba together ? Thanks G
