odd entries in logwatch
by James B. Byrne 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I am concerned about these entries reported this morning in the logwatch from one of our servers running CentOS4-2. Before I invest a lot of time and effort tracking this down I wonder if anyone here recognizes what is going on and why these entries exist. These are sealed servers with no local user accounts beyond those needed by system and application software. Login authentication is primarily by SSL certificate, however ssh password logins for certain backdoor accounts are enabled as a fallback. There are no records of unexpected logins via ssh or by userids not customarily associated with routine maintenance. Telnet is disabled. Only anonymous ftp is the permitted and that service is provided by vsftpd. The only thing that I can bring to mind that might account for these records internally is that yesterday we ran "yum update" on this machine. Might the update account for this trace? > Changed users GID: mailman: 41 -> 41 > > **Unmatched Entries** > usermod[25137]: change user `mailman' shell from `/sbin/nologin' > to `/sbin/nologin' > usermod[25150]: change user `gdm' shell from `/sbin/nologin' to > `/sbin/nologin' ... much sendmail stuff -------------------- SSHD Begin ------------------------ SSHD Killed: 2 Time(s) SSHD Started: 2 Time(s) Failed to bind: 0.0.0.0 port 22 (Address already in use) : 2 Time(s) Users logging in through sshd: xxxxxxx: inet05.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca (216.185.71.25): 1 time ---------------------- SSHD End ------------------------- --------------------- vsftpd-messages Begin ------------------------ Failed FTP Logins: (81.57.169.170): anonymous - 9 Time(s) (83.170.32.48): anonymous - 7 Time(s) (80.194.231.91): anonymous - 9 Time(s) ---------------------- vsftpd-messages End ------------------------- Please note that I am a digest subscriber, so that the favour of a direct copy of your reply would be great appreciated.

When I tried gftp to login into the FTP server it gave me following error Error with certificate at depth: 0 Issuer = /C=IN/ST=Dl/L=ND/O=Ntd/OU=FTP/CN=ftpserver Subject = /C=IN/ST=Dl/L=ND/O=Ntd/OU=FTP/CN=ftpserver Error 18:self signed certificate Disconnecting from site 192.168.1.10 I tried for the solution on the google but did not find the right one. Any pointers what needs to be done. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

isolating disk consumer process
by Roger D Vargas 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I have a weird problem. Sometimes the disk usage indicator led shows an intensive disk access and the server becomes slow. When I try to identify what process is consuming more resources with top command, I see that most process are just taking 1% of CPU, or maybe sort peaks of 15% for postgresql or amavis. How can I determine which process is making such intense use of disk? -- http://dsgp.blogspot.com | Linux, programación, juegos Have no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can’t take the sky from me ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

There may be a separate release announcement for individual architectures. (Note: CentOS -4.3 for s390, s390x, alpha, ppc, sparc is in progress and will be announced later) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The CentOS specific release notes for this upgrade are available here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html Documentation for CentOS 4 (including upstream release notes) is available here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ You may download the installation CD ISOs (http, ftp, bittorrent) or DVD ISOs (bittorrent only) from this link: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/isos/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- MD5SUM values for CentOS ISOs The md5sum values for the latest CentOS ISOs can be obtained from these links: i386: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.3/isos/i386/md5sum.asc x86_64: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.3/isos/x86_64/md5sum.asc ia64: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.3/isos/ia64/md5sum.asc -------------------------------------------------------------------- Major changes in this version of CentOS include: 1. Upgraded update system. The CentOS Project has designed a new update system to deal with the issues that we had during the last CentOS 4 update cycle. This new system provides more that 100 total mirrors for updates and picks geographically close and non-stale mirrors based on our master server's content. It provides failover capability, so if a mirror is unavailable another will be chosen. Combined with the optional yum-plugin-fastestmirror, it will also pick the mirror that has the fastest connection to your location. The new update system uses yum only. Up2date will work for updates, but does not provide any of the new functionality, therefore yum is the recommended way for you to do CentOS updates. To utilize the new update system with yum, you first need to update yum and centos-yumconf to the latest versions. These updates were released for CentOS 4 on February 16th (CEEA:2006:0216-001, centos-yumconf) and February 20th (CEBA:2006:0220-001, yum), so you may already have them. You can check to see if you have the new yum and centos-yumconf with with command: rpm -q yum centos-yumconf If you have the below listed files, you are ready to use the new update system: yum-2.4.2-2.centos4 centos-yumconf-4-4.5 If you have earlier versions of either program, you should be able to upgrade them with the command: yum upgrade yum centos-yumconf Note: If you have previously modified your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS- Base.repo file, a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew will be created. If you want to use the new update system, this file should be copied to CentOS-Base.repo. An example of the new default /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file should look like is available here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Base.repo For more info on the update system, including how to install yum-plugin- fastestmirror, see: http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=118 2. Frysk, InfiniBand Architecture (IBA), and z/VM hypervisor issues are discussed in the upstream release notes. CentOS has support for these items as well. For more information see upstream release notes for your architecture for CentOS-4.3 on the CentOS documentation page: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ 3. Updated and added packages. There is a list of all packages either added or upgraded since CentOS-4.2 in the upstream release notes, please see the upstream release notes for your architecture for CentOS-4.3 on the CentOS documentation page: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- ISSUES: 1. There is a known upstream issue with recompiling anaconda with the new version of newt that is included in CentOS-4.3. If you need to build anaconda from the SRPM, you will need to downgrade your newt to newt-0.51.6-5. Please see this bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1251 2. There is a known upstream issue with the ypserver rpm that was provided for EL4 update 3 (ypserv-2.13-9). This is a major issue as it broke NIS authentication. The CentOS team rolled in a patch to the ypserver version on the install CD to fix this issue (ypserv-2.13-9.centos4). Subsequently, a new version of ypserver was release (ypserv-2.13-11) and is available in the updates for CentOS-4.3. Please see this bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1253 -------------------------------------------------------------------- To stay current with CentOS: Visit our website at http://www.centos.org Join the CentOS mailing list at: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Join various team members on IRC at irc.freenode.net #centos -------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: It may take a couple days for some of the mirrors to catch up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy, The CentOS Team

CentOS 4.3 success
by Kai Schaetzl 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Just ran yum check-update and found 4.3 has been released today. After reading the release-notes I ran the upgrade. About 150 MB. Went fast and smooth from a local mirror. So far no problems. Great job! Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Offline yum update possible?
by Michael Chase 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Is it possible to update a centos system that is NOT connected to the Internet at all? e.g. Centos 4.1 to 4.3? Can this be done with a 4.3 install CD, or by wget'ing some files, moving them to the machine on CD or DVD and then upgrading using yum locally?

notebook build try 1 tonight
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Well, I am not going to the IETF social tonight (even though it is the 20 anniversary party at a dude ranch outside of Dallas, and I have been here for 13 of those years). So it is the perfect time to shoot trying to do the build. We shall see.... So I will try and setup the suspend partition and then not format it. And see what I can load. Then check out the system. If it takes me a few tries, that's ok. It is supprising how hard it is to get information of putting Linux on notebooks....

is apt/synaptic OK?
by D. Ivago 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hi, because I'm used to apt based distro's like Debian and I also use it with Fedora, I wondered if I could use apt/synaptic on Centos 4.2 and if somebody could post his sources.list for the repo's that are availabel through apt. thanks! Ivago
