read only sftp access
by Andrei F 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi, I'm trying to setup read-only SFTP repo. The directory that I'm planning to make available via sftp needs to have only read-only access. My issue is that this specific directory is already available for read & write access but under different credentials. When I try to login via my read-only account, openssh spits out an error about incorrect permissions. Any idea how can I share the same directory via sftp under two different usernames under the same filesystem permissions?

IPTABLES and Hi-Risk blocking
by James B. Byrne 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

We are considering whether or not to block internal access to social networking and private entertainment web sites. This not a policy decision as of yet, just an exploratory exercise. Our gateways run CentOS-5.4 and use iptables to enforce firewall rules. The information that we wish to determine is whether or not it is feasible to block sites such as facebook, youtube, twitter, etc. using iptables. Is there a superior method? Does there exist already a generally accepted utility or method for accomplishing this? At the present time we only block outgoing traffic for a handful of internal hosts that should never have any reason to generate traffic destined outside the lan. But, now we are advised by some authorities that facebook and similar sites are considered security risks to hosts that are used to access them. Without debating the merits of such claims, how would one proceed to block internal network access to specific domain names using CentOS? Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

PHP updates
by Craig White 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

For the 2 threads going on about PHP 5.2/5.3... CentOS tracks upstream whose version is... php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 If you want something newer, you have to go off the beaten path. try this...(as root) wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo mv CentOS-Testing.repo /etc/yum.repos.d yum --enablerepo=c5-testing check-update and this would allow to update to version 5.2.9-2.el5.centos if you then... yum --enablerepo=c5-testing update php and if enough people actually convinced the developers that 5.2.9-2.el5.centos were feasible, then they would probably move it into the 'Extras' repository.

After some initial foul ups on my part (had OOO2 already installed, and had to first uninstall the older one and then do a forced manual rpm-install of OOO3.1), this is what I've found. I got a pptx-file from my boss with pictures and formatting and whatnot. It opened fine in CentOS. Some formatting was plain lost, but the pictures were all there, as far as I can tell. Some graphics, like arrows and such did not get through and looked like something from the 80s block graphics era. Some text got printed over other parts of the text, however I've a inkling this might be due to the screen size maybe? I also opened the same pptx with OOO3.1 on my WinXP-machine, and got a blank white screen, in slide show-mode. So basically, CentOS+OOO3.1 vs WinXP+OOO3.1 scores 1 to 0.

[OT] - Estrutura de armazenamento de uma grande quantidade de arquivos
by "Fábio Jr." 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Olá pessoal, Desculpem o off-topic, mas não sabia onde postar minha dúvida. Se alguém tiver uma sugestão de lista para postar essa dúvida eu agradeço. O sistema do qual administro os servidores, possui uma funcionalidade que é exibição de imagens cadastradas pelos usuários. Estas imagens são armazenadas atualmente em um único diretório, e são gravadas com um número (ex.:123456.jpg), em um storage rodando centOS.(até q não é tão off-topic assim). O problema é que a quantidade de imagens já passa de 4 milhões de arquivos. Cada imagem antes de ser armazenada, é tratada, e salva em 3 tamanhos diferentes. Ou seja, existem 3 cópias de cada arquivos (4 milhões / 3). Espaço em disco não é problema, já que estas imagens são pequenas. O problema maior é a quantidade mesmo, e a organização. A medida que o numero de arquivos aumenta, fica pior para o SO buscar essa foto. Pra piorar a situação, os servidores de aplicação montam via nfs este storage para buscar os arquivos. Finalmente, o que venho pedir a lista seriam sugestões de como melhorar a indexação/organização destes arquivos. Já pensei em utilizar armazenamento distribuído (SAN, cloud, GlusterFS), organização por pastas com AliasMatch do apache para recuperá-las depois e armazenamento em banco de dados. Qualquer sugestão é bem vinda. Obrigado. []s -- Fábio da Silva Júnior - fjuniorlista(a)gmail.com ----- http://fabioojunior.wordpress.com -----

Amavisd and ClamAV
by Tony Molloy 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hi, I want to move my mail server from sendmail to postfix over christmas. I've got a test server running with the following: postfix dovecot postgrey amavisd-new clamav spamassassin I've followed the howto's on the wiki <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos> with the exception that I installed amavisd-new and clamav from the EPEL repo rather than rpmforge. Things work OK with the exception of clamav. When I start clamav I get the following error. [root@newgoext ~]# service clamd.amavisd start Starting clamd.amavisd: ERROR: Missing argument for option at line 2 ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf [FAILED] As this is a test server I'v set selinux to permissive so it doesn't look like a selinux problem. Thanks, Tony -- Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick.

SAMBA vs NFS
by Alan McKay 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hey folks, A coworker wants to share drives between CentOS systems via SAMBA, which sort of seems pretty counter intuitive to me. But he says he's had troubles in the past with NFS. He was sort of short on details, but something about NFS not being reliable unless you enable NFS locking, but when you do that, you can end up in situations where if the server crashes it can cause the clients to hang too. I've used NFS for years in other jobs and don't recall issues like this. Thoughts? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

rndc start fails with "rndc: connect failed: connection refused"
by Hugh E Cruickshank 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

CentOS 4.8, BIND 9.2.4 Hi All: I have a rather annoying problem with rndc which I have not been able to resolve despite much searching and many attempts to correct. When making changes to our DNS entries I have tried to use the following procedures: 1. Flush the cache buffers: rndc flush 2. Stop named: rndc stop 3. Delete the journal files: rm *.jnl 4. Edit the forward and/or reverse zone files as necessary. 5. Restart named: rndc start Everything works fine until the last command which fails with: rndc: connect failed: connection refused I can get around this by using "service named start" but I should not have to do this. Has anyone encountered something similar and can pass on some words of wisdom? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

install CENTOS 5.4 X86_64 failed???
by mcclnx mcc 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

I just download CENTOS 5.4 DVD ISO X86_64 version from internet. I tried to install it on DELL server and get following error message before RPM start install: parted_1.8.1-23.els.x86_64.rpm can NOT open anyone know why? Should I download it again from any good site? If I install CENTOS 5.3 and use yum update, will it go to CENTOS 5.4? Thanks. ___________________________________________________ 您的生活即時通－溝通、娛樂、生活、工作一次搞定！ http://messenger.yahoo.com.tw/

Disable "Hibernation" option ?
by Niki Kovacs 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, In my GNOME System menu (in French) there are basically the following options : - Lock screen - Hibernate - Close session - Shut down Is there any way to disable the "Hibernate" option ? In the past, I've accidentally clicked on it, which put the computer to sleep, only it refused to wake up after that. Maybe some package to uninstall ? But which one ? Cheers, Niki

A problem about upgrade centos5.2
by 王行焘 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

hi, i made a mistake that i used centos5.4 i686 to upgrade the centos 5.2 x86_64,which runs on a server whose cpu is Xeon.The server seems to need CentOS X86_64 version. Should i use the　CentOS 5.4 X86_64 disk to upgrade the CentOS 5.4 i 686? Ps.I urgently need to upgrade it because the glibc x86_64 conflicts with the i686 one....It drives me crazy and i am hitting my head against the wall... Should that work well?Should i try that？Please help to let me move on with my life.... Thanks very much! -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Best wishes from WANG Xing-tao Management Information and Information System BeijingJiaotongUniversity 北京交通大学经济管理学院信息管理与信息系统王行焘

Any suggestions would be welcome. At the moment we are up with two users migrated back to the old servers. Thanks Phil.

Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors. Works great until it freezes. No evidence of kernel oops anywhere. If others report the same issues we will scrap the board. Otherwise I will continue to investigate what is happening, since it is no fun to pull the board out and replace with an atom processor and it is not critical. The hard disk in it came from an Athlon M board that died an untimely death this week. Service cpufreq reports "unavailable" so I am assuming that it is turned off. Could the cpu freqquency control be doing something without tellling us? We havea power monitor on it so I can discern if it dies with max cpu activity or not. Also I am leaving it run "top" without screensaver so I can see if a particular load or program is borking it. Am I missing something obvious here? TIA. benm

3Com 3c940 moel only giving me 100 mb throughput to network switch
by Gilbert Sebenste 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello all, As the subject states, I have a 3Com 3c940 Ethernet card to a 1 gb network switch. The switch detects it, but it only shows that it is giving me 100 mb/sec throughput. That card is rated for 1 GB...is there a way to force it to try to use 1 GB/sec? System-config-network isn't helping me here. Thanks for any help! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************

Is there a CentOS selinux mailing list?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

The subject says it all. I've still got that irritating problem of selinux complaining with smagent writing to its own logfile, and as I mentioned here, weeks ago, I've done everything that sealert says, a number of times, and it didn't fix it, and I've determined that it's clearly an error handling failure of selinux. So, I'm hoping to find someone else who's run into the same thing.... mark

Re: [CentOS] CentOS-DS Configuration/Setup Issue
by gene.poole＠macys.com 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

All, Thanks for all of the input! Actually, I fixed the issue by using a single yum command: yum -y reinstall centos-ds* It seems that I was using my laptop to work on my server via putty and something 'broke' which caused the original install to have issues. But, the above command corrected all of the dependencies and other issues. All is working fine now! One last question: Where can I find a definitive how to on creating a LDIF file? Thanks, Gene Poole From: Gene Poole/MST/MACYS To: CentOS(a)centos.org Date: 11/20/2009 09:49 AM Subject: CentOS-DS Configuration/Setup Issue All, I'm running CentOS 5.4 and I've installed the CentOS Directory Server by running yum -y install centos-ds* without any errors.

bash variable expansion moment
by ken 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

It's half a nice Saturday later and many attempts have brought no satisfaction. Maybe this can't be done. I'm trying to write a function which, when called from one function execute in another. In itself, that's not the problem. Rather, there's one built-in variable which is evaluated in the function definition and it's value is then set (too early). Here's the one file (func-file): ------------------------- Line() { echo This is line "$LINENO" $@ } ------------------------- That one is called by this one: ------------------------- #!/bin/bash . ./func-file Line ... it should be $LINENO ------------------------ I want the function Line to show the line number in the second file where it's executed, not the line number from the sourced function. Any mavens got the skinny on this? tia -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake

What's wrong with yum-priorities?
by Dennis Kibbe 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki (PackageManagement/Yum?Priorities) without any explanation why yum-priorities isn't a good idea. yum-priorities doesn't appear in RHEL 5.4 but protectbase does. Is that the better choice and if so why? Thanks, Dennisk -- "Free as in Freedom" Free Software Foundation

Inquiry:How to enable "NAT" on CentOS 5 ?
by hadi motamedi 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Dear All On my CentOS 5 , I installed the Asterisk 1.4.13 and DECT application software and then when I want to try for "NAT" I issue as the followings : #iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.20.30.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE But it didn't get through . So I checked if the "NAT" is enabled on my CentOS server , as the followings : #echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward But still I cannot try for "NAT" . Can you please let me know which other setings maybe influenced and need to be checked for enabling the "NAT" ? Thank you in advance

yum-priorities (recap)
by Dennis Kibbe 23 Nov '09

Thanks for everyone's input. I had been under the impression and was passing that impression on to my students. The take-away here seems to be that once you start mixing official and unofficial repos anything can happen. dennisk -- "Free as in Freedom" Free Software Foundation

dnsmasq - where to use? where not?
by Rob Kampen 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hi list, On updating my server today, I noted that dnsmasq was updated, I do not recall installing this onto my server as it is running bind/named and dhcpd, thus why does it need dnsmasq? So I did a $> sudo yum remove dnsmasq to find out what rpm / yum thinks about it - I get a list of NetworkManager(-glib) removals evolution(-connector) removals krb5-auth-dialog also...... I think I can live without NetworkManager and evolution on this server, but why krb5-auth-dialog?? Any suggestions appreciated. TIA Rob

system time automatically fowards in time and then comes back to normal
by ankush grover 22 Nov '09

Hi friends, I am running Nagios 2.7-1 on Centos 5.0 32-bit hosted on Vmware ESX 4.0. The issue I am seeing on the server is sometimes nagios is showing the below messages in /var/log/messages and as the system time gets changed some false alarms gets generated. I searched it on the google but I am not able to find the correct solution. I even posted on the nagios forum and they asked me to see elsewhere why the server shitfs so much before looking at nagios.

Dynamic DNS update
by Joseph L. Casale 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I am using a /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script to update a bind host record for a remote server so I can gain admin access to it when its dynamic ip changes. Does anyone know of an existing script that wont update the bind zone unless the ip has actually changed rather than me hacking one out and reinventing the wheel? Thanks! jlc

Sendmail "Queued mail for delivery"
by Timothy Murphy 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I see that mail sent from a remote computer never leaves the computer, the last entry in /var/log/maillog being "Queued mail for delivery". 1. What is likely to cause this message? I know I registered with my remote mail server with a different name to my name on the computer. Is that likely to be the cause of my problem? And if so, what is the solution? Or is there any other likely cause? Incidentally, I can telnet the mail server: --------------------------------------- m@althea ~]$ telnet out.alice.it 25 Trying 85.33.2.55... Connected to out.alice.it (85.33.2.55). Escape character is '^]'. 220 FBCMCL01B06.fbc.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:02:20 +0100 ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. --------------------------------------- 2. Where incidentally is the mail queued for delivery? I don't see it in /var/cache/ .
