CentOS 8: two external network adapters, two ISPs - routing problems
by Konstantin Boyandin 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Hello! Given: a CentOS 8-powered computer with three network adapters. eth0, eth2: external, connected to two different ISPs eth1: faces home network (intranet) The task: allow accessing certain internal services from either ISP. There are several services, I only mention SSH below. In the configs below: IP1: external IP at first ISP (ISP1), assigned to eth0 Gateway1: IP of gateway provided by ISP1 Network1,Netmask1: related to IP1 IP2: external IP at second ISP (ISP2), assigned to eth2 Gateway2: IP of gateway provided by ISP2 Network2,Netmask2: related to IP2 LocalSSHIP: IP in intranet (eth1) where SSH server is running Current configs follow. Routing tables: echo "200 isp1" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables echo "201 isp2" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables Routing policies: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 Network1 dev eth0 src IP1 table isp1 default via Gateway1 dev eth0 table isp1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth2 Network2 dev eth2 src IP2 table isp2 default via Gateway2 dev eth2 table isp2 Routing rules: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-eth0 from IP1/32 table isp1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-eth2 from IP2/32 table isp2 iptables snippets. External traffic forwarded to local SSH server from both interfaces: iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp -d IP1 --dport 22 -j DNAT --to LocalSSHIP:22 iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth2 -p tcp -d IP2 --dport 22 -j DNAT --to LocalSSHIP:22 iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d LocalSSHIP --dport 22 -j ACCEPT eth0 is default gateway: $ ip route default via Gateway1 dev eth0 proto static metric 100 default via Gateway2 dev eth2 proto static metric 101 ... $ ip rule 0: from all lookup local 32764: from IP2 lookup isp2 32765: from IP1 lookup isp1 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default SNAT is applied for the traffic originating from eth1: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -i eth1 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source IP1 Current situation: - All services forwarded from eth0 are working normally. - All traffic originating from intranet passes out and back normally. - All the attempts to access services from eth2 time out. There are no obvious hints in /var/log/messages (such as complaints about "martian IPs"). I am somewhat at a loss here, all the pieces of advice would be very welcome. -- Sincerely, Konstantin Boyandin

It's been six days since CVD-2021-33909 was patched in RHEL, what's the holdup for Stream 8?
by Steven Rosenberg 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

This bug in the kernel was patched in RHEL on 7/20. Every other mainstream Linux distro patched it that day or the day after. That includes Rocky and Alma. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-33909 It's still not patched six days later in CentOS Stream 8. This Bugzilla entry makes it clear that when it comes to security, CentOS Stream falls behind RHEL. But this far behind? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1975182 This doesn't make a good argument for Stream being a viable CentOS Linux replacement.

Old CentOS 6.3 grub.conf
by Jerry Geis 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

I am trying to "add" an entry to grub.conf on CentOS 6.3 - and change the default=0 to default=1 # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1 # initrd /boot/initrd-[generic-]version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=09337d96-de39-43f1-99c2-8a6a1fadd465 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.img title Boot Other root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz initrd /boot/initrd I then run "grub-install /dev/sda" and reboot. If I cursor down - my new title is present - but the default is still the first title. What did I miss ? Thanks, jerry

Folio Infobase
by J Martin Rushton 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Does anyone know any way to read .nfo files from Folio infobases. The best suggestion I've seen so far is to run up a VM with Windows 98 on it, does anyone know where I can get a copy of that! BTW, these are not the .nfo files used to describe scenes. -- J Martin Rushton MBCS

yum quiet not really quiet anymore?
by Gionatan Danti 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Hi all, I noticed that "yum -q" (or "dnf" -q) on CentOS 8 is not really quiet anymore. For example (notiche the "upgraded" line): [root@localhost cron.d]# yum upgrade -y -q Upgraded: python3-perf-4.18.0-305.10.2.el8_4.x86_64 While yum historically had issue with the quiet option [1], this specific issue seems new to me. Do you have any suggestion (short of redirecting stdout to /dev/null)? Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

OT: firefox question
by Valeri Galtsev 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Dear Experts, My question is OT, as it is related to firefox, not CentOS system per se. Even more: my firefox runs on FreeBSD workstation. But I figured this list have largest likelihood of having experts in firefox (as well as on other things), so... My firefox behavior changed after one of recent updates.. When one logs in to website that is locked using web password (e.g., set in .htacess/.htpasswd in apache), one gives username/password once. Then firefox remembers that while firefox is running, and you don't have to give credentials (though authentication does happen behind the scenes all the time since). But not anymore for me at least on my (FreeBSD) workstation: in the morning I discover firefox (though it had not been restarted) asks yet again credentials to websites I have been logged to. As if firefox purges credentials to websites after some period of time (or inactivity on those websites). This stared happening not long ago after one of updates firefox is known to release annoyingly often (as in: mozilla foundation forgot the meaning of the word "release" which means well debugged code some time about decade ago...). I tried to find relevant setting in GUI preferences to no avail (maybe it is just me?), and hope, experts know deeper lying preferences, and may point me to relevant one. All in all, I'm forced back onto my pursuit for replacement for firefox browser... Thanks a lot for all your answers. And my apologies for rant (which I was not able to separate due to my frustration...).

Hi, I am confused between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream as per https://www.centos.org/download/. Please guide me on which one I need to use in the production environment. Is there a difference between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream? Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Kaushal
