CentOS 6 and NIS not working
by Martyn Klassen 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind. I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server domain myDomain server myServer The service seems to start okay #service ypbind start Starting NIS service: [OK] Binding NIS service: … [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind This is usually blamed on ypbind not running, but ypbind is confirmed to be running #ps -ef | grep ypbind root 3033 1 0 15:11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypbind ypcat also does not work #ypcat netgroup No such map net group. Reason: Can't bind to the server which serves this domain I have double checked that the server is running #rpcinfo -u myServer ypserv program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting The domain name seems to be set correctly as well #domainname myDomain I have tried disabling iptables and selinux, but that has no effect. I am probably missing something obvious, but NIS has never given me these issues before. Any suggestions on what might be the culprit? Martyn

Running Apache sites as separate users
by Trey Dockendorf 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

I had a recent request to improve security on my web servers by having each website use a different user to run the hosting service. So example1.comhas it's own Apache instance running as apache1 and then example2.com has its own instance of Apache as apache2. Is this even possible or realistic? I understand the idea of how that would be secure, much like creating a virtual machine to segregate services. The only way I can think how this is done is to chroot each website. What makes this request even stranger is that each website will be managed by the same CMS and code base. So with that being the case, I don't see how this is possible. Any ideas or insight are very welcome. Thanks - Trey

ssh -D socks proxy through CentOS-5
by James B. Byrne 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Is there anything special in the way of configuration that is required to enable a CentOS box to act as the point of origin for an http request routed to it via a SOCKS ssh link? I have researched this matter and the recommended procedure is to open an SSH connection to the desired host passing the requisite switches so: ssh -f -n -D <port> user(a)host.domain.tld And then reconfigure the desired applications to use the localhost:<port> as the SOCKS proxy. However, I cannot seem to get this to work with my CentOS based desktop to which I am trying to connect through a public wireless network. I connect to the desktop via terminal (on OSX-10.6.8 fine), but setting the browser, Firefox-3.6.23, advanced network config to use localhost:<port> as a SOCKSv5 proxy for http simply results in the browser failing to show anything. I do not get any error, I just get a blank page for whatever url I try. I have tried this with and without the iptables service running on the target and achieved the same results. Therefore I do not consider the firewall configuration on the target to be the immediate problem. Has anyone here tried to do this and succeeded? Supplemental question: How does one route an https connection to a non-standard port via SOCKS? How does one configure a browser to do this? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Firefox 7 vs latest Flash plugin vs CNN
by fred smith 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

I'm seeing a strange issue on my C-5.7 system. running Firefox 7 with the very latest flash plugin. browse to CNN, I can view any of the videos directly linked on the main page, or directly linked on sub-pages. but if I click on the video link at the top of the page (in the red bar) Firefox displays the page as a list of "thumbnails" for each video with a small viewer in the upper left corner, then hangs. the browser is completely unresponsive at this point. if I wait a minute (or two, or three) eventually a message appears in the area where the video should be showing saying: "The flash plugin has crashed." and a link to send a crash report. So, I cannot play any of the videos on the "video" page. however, I CAN play THE VERY SAME VIDEOS if I find a link to the video from another page on cnn. clearly there's something about the "video" page that confuses the heck out of the "poor" flash plugin. I haven't see anyone pos about this, so maybe I'm the only one having this problem... And it all works fine on my eeepc running Centos-6 with Firefox 7 and the same flash version. Advice appreciated, thanks!

passwd problem with new vps
by Marco Fioretti 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

greetings, I am setting up Centos 6 i686 remotely, on a new VPS. A problem I have is that I cannot set password for new users. I have created one with useradd -m new_user but when I type passwd new_user this is the result: [root@vps ~]# passwd new_user Changing password for user new_user New password: Retype new password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [root@vps ~]# tail /var/log/secure Sep 27 17:30:30 vps passwd: pam_cracklib(passwd:chauthtok): pam_get_authtok_verify returned error: Failed preliminary check by password service but I have no clue what the check I've failed is, or if it's a console problem (locales, weird control characters) or maybe a selinux thing? For the record, if I enter a weak password on purpose, e.g. "amok", everything works, meaning that I get an explanation like "password refused because it's too short", or something like that. But when I try longer passwords, with or without non alphanumeric characters, I get this error. what else should I check, or fix? TIA, Marco

How to build a webserver, centos 6, videos
by Bob Hoffman 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hello all, I am going to post videos on a youtube channel showing the steps I am taking in putting together a new server. I am by no means an expert and it is intended for people who just want to get a gist of what it entails. channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/WebserverVideos The first part is done, getting the server and putting it together. Along with my thoughts on the build. Future parts coming in the next few weeks will include comprehensive steps dealing with ipmi, raid 1 arrays, centos 6 as a host, centos 6 as guests...dns servers, webserver guest (mail, apache, etc). Selinux.. and the whole shebang. I will be doing a video of the installation at the datacenter which should be cool for those who have never been in one to do it. Comments open, but moderated. This is just a personal webserver project and will cover the steps I take (and why) in building it. I will be adding a 3550 cisco (as soon as I figure it all out) as a switch for my two servers with a full step by step of updating and configuring it. Feel free to tell me if you see anything completely wrong...or something I might forget. I'll do my best to make it time effective to watch it and learn.
