fail2ban logrotate failure
by Bob Hoffman 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

I got the fail2ban from epel. There were a number of issues relating to using a log file... logwatch was looking for both fail2ban and fail2ban.log logrotate file fail2ban added looked for fail2ban.log and then reset itself to syslog fail2ban itself went to syslog, over riding its fail2ban.log. took a while, but I use /var/log/fail2ban now, that finally worked through logrotates and logwatch. Problem with centos variant of fail2ban: logrotate causes all 'ban' actions to stop happening. I am pretty sure it stops reading the logs but still functions. Unban actions still keep showing up in the log, but the 'ban' actions just stop. Program is running, but no longer working. Long searches online show a million others with the same issue. Only way to prevent it seems to be to add a reload or restart in the syslog file. This is undesired due to losing all banned ips listed. It happens as part of the logrotate. The logrotate file I have changed a few times and recently tried this postrotate /usr/bin/fail2ban-client set logtarget /var/log/fail2ban 1>/dev/null || true endscript setting the logtarget, which the original called for changing it to syslog and 2>dev/null || true so what would you do? I imagine when logrotate happens and syslog restarts something is causing fail2ban to stop working properly, but still timing 'unbans'. This is apparently a bug/problem for almost everyone of all distros. Other than just uninstalling, the only way to make it work would be a restart around 4 every morning, making any long term bans useless. My last thought is to just throw the /var/log/fail2ban to be rotated by syslog like maillog and the others..and not doing anything special. Maybe it would just work. I write here because I know there are hundreds of you and someone must have figured out how to make fail2ban work for more than 24 hours without a restart....

High load
by Kaushal Shriyan 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi Is there a way to nail down the issue of high load on a server basically trying to understand the reason behind high load at a specific time period. I use top command but it does not have history. Nagios reports saying "*[04-25-2012 10:11:00] SERVICE ALERT: dev;LOAD;WARNING;HARD;3;WARNING - load average: 6.88, 6.36, 5.71"* * * Please help me understand. Regards Kaushal

High load averages copying USB
by Lists 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Problem as follows: 1) Plug in an external USB drive. 2) Mount it anywhere. Doesn't matter how. 3) Copy a few GB of data to the drive from a non-USB disk. 4) Watch the load average "climb" to 5.x, sometimes 10.x or more. Why? This on an otherwise unloaded system. Doesn't matter how many cores, how much RAM, 32/64 bit, etc. Why should copying some files to a USB drive cause load averages to climb so high? (and network monitors to freak out?)

Re: [CentOS] CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 84, Issue 14

Maybe this came out wrong. What I meant is: I was told RHEL doesn't do major application upgrades in one version, so we would end op with Firefox 3.6.x in CentOs 6.x in a few years from now. Apparently this is not true. So now I,m wondering if a move to LO within CentOs 6 is imaginable. Grt. J. verzonden m.b.v Android vandaar de beknoptheid.

However, on reflection I think that the decision to keep the network down until deliberately enabled is a sensible and prudent security choice. This leaves up to the operator the decision as to whether or not a given system is sufficiently hardened against Internet attacks before connecting. Now, consider upstream's decision to enable network-manager by default on an enterprise distro.

Not Quite Minimal CentOS 6.2
by listmail 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hi All, I a working on configuring a not-quite minimal installation of CentOS 6.2. I tried doing the "minimal" installation available with the installer, but it's a bit too minimal to be useful. So I'm cutting down from a less minimal starting place. I'm pretty familiar with 5.x, but what I'm finding in 6.2 is a lot of new stuff, and a lot of odd behavior. For example, cups is starting at boot time, despite being disabled by chkconfig. And I'm finding things like qpidd, matahari, messagebus, and portreserve that really don't belong in a minimal setup. To clarify, I'm shooting for a simple config, like one would use for a dedicated DNS server. Can anyone point me to an up-to-date list of daemon processes that indicates what they do and whether they can be safely disabled? Also, any ideas as to what would be launching cups would be appreciated. Thanks, --Bill

Hello, On CentOS-6.2, these two commands (on the same machine) give me different results : # restorecon -r /var/www/html/Centos/ # (as root) $ sudo restorecon -r /var/www/html/Centos/ # (as an unprivileged user) /var/www/html/Centos/ is a symlink to /mnt/packages/Centos/ In the first case, I get : # ls -Z /var/www/html/Centos/ drwxr-xr-x. naudin biom system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t 6 and in the second case : $ ls -Z /var/www/html/Centos/ drwxr-xr-x. naudin biom system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 6 Is this the expected behavior, or is there something I have missed ? -- Philippe Naudin UMR MISTEA : Mathématiques, Informatique et STatistique pour l'Environnement et l'Agronomie INRA, bâtiment 29 - 2 place Viala - 34060 Montpellier cedex 2 tél: 04.99.61.26.34, fax: 04.99.61.29.03, mél: naudin(a)supagro.inra.fr
