clamd / amavisd missing socket
by Jon LaBadie 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

I think something along these lines appeared before but I was unable to find them. I'm on a 7.6 system, been running clamav and amavisd-new since 6 days with little problem. On a recent reboot, clamd@amavisd does not start up and fails manual start. The problem seems to be the missing socket that connects the pair, "/var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.socket". I believe this should be created by systemd files but I see no indication of them on my system. Anyone know which files might be missing and where to get copies? Or a work around to run clamd@amavisd and get rid of the "*** UNCHECKED ***' additions to my my Subject lines? BTW manual creation of the socket with netcat had no effect on the startup.

Increase logging verbosity of saslauthd?
by Jobst Schmalenbach 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Hi CentOS 7.X, sendmail.x86_64 8.14.7-5.el7, cyrus-sasl.x86_64 2.1.26-23.el7 There are conflicting message on how to increase the logging of saslauthd. I know I can do this: /usr/sbin/saslauthd -d -n0 -m /var/run/saslauthd -a pam but that requires a terminal as saslauthd logs the output to STDOUT, this is not what I want. I would like to have it started as a daemon and verbosity of logging increased into a log file. How can I increase the verbosity of logging for saslauthd? thanks -- Jobst Schmalenbach If you think knowledge is expensive, try ignorance.

11 Sep '19

I need to build u-boot on my CentOS 7 machine but encounter this: > *** Your GCC is older than 6.0 and is not supported I've updated the installation on my machine but the current version is: > gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36) How do I go about updating gcc to version 6 or greater on my CentOS 7 machine? And do so safely?

NFS Server on Centos 7.6.1810 dying without reason
by Erick Perez - Quadrian Enterprises 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

This physical NFS server is servign 2 NFS v4.2 shares to 2 physical KVM virtualization hosts. When remote NFS clients start doing intensive stuff (massive writes) , the NFS server crashes and sometimes make the Linux server reboot. form KVM side this is all I get: hvm002 kernel: nfs: server 10.10.10.2 not responding, timed out thanks --------------------- Erick ---------------------

CUPS job handling
by hw 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi, is it somehow possible to make CUPS automatically redirect jobs, and following jobs, away from printers which can not print them to other printers that can print them until the printers that couldn't print them are again able to print them? Like I have a bunch of label printers which are all the same, and all of which are prone to run out of labels or out of ribbon every now and then. It can take hours or even days before someone can refill a printer. Hence it would be very useful if CUPS could be told something like "if printer A doesn't print, move its current job to printer B and divert all new jobs sent to A to printer B instead until A prints again". What exactly happens when a printer that is member of a class can not print a job that was sent to the class? Will the unprintable job be automatically moved to another member of the same class, or will it only be aborted and never printed? With a class of two printers and one of them running out of labels, /var/log/cups/error_log only holds: ... [Job 174733] Stopping unresponsive job. What does this mean? Has the job been printed or not? Has it been printed after I refilled the printer?

oval support for centos
by Sep0lkit 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

We use oval to check the system vulnerability. Redhat offer official oval(https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/), and it works well on redhat. There is no official centos oval, and using redhat oval on centos got false results. centos is based redhat, so I wrote a script fetch redhat oval files and convert it to useful for centos. And I push the oval to my github: https://github.com/Sep0lkit/oval-for-el Everyone interested in this can try to use it and tell me it works correctly or not.

--nodigest [root@localhost ~]# The culprit appears to be the current qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.1-2 from EPEL. A workaround is: downloading and installing qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.1-1 (from https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/ ) lets the installation succeed. However, /etc/yum.conf then needs exclude=qt5-qtwebkit I think this is is due to the fact that EPEL is synchronized with RedHat (which has version 7.7), but CentOS is still at 7.6 This type of problem has bitten us a couple of times (mostly with ElRepo and the NVidia kmod and driver) - whenever a CentOS update was not yet ready, but the corresponding RedHat point release was out. ElRepo seems to have an elegant solution for this solution - yum-plugin-elrepo . Is there anything like that available for EPEL ? thanks, Kay

I broke "yum update" - C7
by Gary Stainburn 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

This evening I decided to do some work on my development C7 system. As I have not touched it for a while, and wanted to install new services I thought I'd better yum update first. I saw that it only did updates from Google and PHP, and none from the system repo's so I had a closer look. It showed certificate errors on a number of repo's. [root@stan2 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error was 14: curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." * base: mirrors.clouvider.net * epel: mirrors.coreix.net * extras: mirrors.clouvider.net * remi-php72: mirror.netweaver.uk * remi-safe: mirror.netweaver.uk * updates: mirrors.vooservers.com https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_6.x/el/7/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. It was impossible to connect to the CentOS servers. This could mean a connectivity issue in your environment, such as the requirement to configure a proxy, or a transparent proxy that tampers with TLS security, or an incorrect system clock. You can try to solve this issue by using the instructions on https://wiki.centos.org/yum-errors If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please use https://bugs.centos.org/. https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/repod…: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/repo…: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. No packages marked for update [root@stan2 ~]# I wrongly followed the instructions in https://wiki.centos.org/yum-errors hoping that it would resolve the problems but it's only made it worse. Now all I get is: [root@stan2 ~]# yum clean all Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Cleaning repos: base epel extras google-chrome nodesource pgdg10 pgdg96 remi-php72 remi-safe updates Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors [root@stan2 ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* [root@stan2 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Determining fastest mirrors One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ... 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable <repoid> or subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid> 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again [root@stan2 ~]# I removed and re-installed the epel-release RPM which made no difference. I've also tried disabling each repo in turn, pgdg10, remi-php72, nodesource-el, pgdg96, google-chrome but still have no success. Anyone got any suggestions?

Giving full administrator privileges through sudo on production systems
by Bagas Sanjaya 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hello, Consider two following cases: 1. On production systems on television stations, a sysadmin give teens (remaja group, age 13 and older) full administrator privileges by adding this line to sudoers: %remaja ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Rationale: Almost all programs on the system can only be run by teens as root. 2. On production systems on tobacco factories, a sysadmin also give adults (age 18 and older, dewasa group) full administrator privileges by adding this line to sudoers: %dewasa ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Also, the sudo lecture file configured in sudoers (/etc/sudo.lecture) contain the following: WARNING: I BROKE MY SYSTEM BECAUSE OF SUDO. CUSTOMER SERVICE: ($a_random_phone_number) Rationale: All programs on system can only be run by adults, because such programs might break system. However, instead of calling sysadmin when something breaks the system, adults can call customer service instead, which isn't qualified for system maintenance. Based on above cases, is it OK to give group of random users full administrator privileges using sudo, by adding them to sudoers with ALL privileges? Should sudoers call customer service number instead of sysadmin when something breaks? Cheers, Bagas -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara

OT: mostly gone
by mark 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi, folks, Well, it's ten years that I've been on this list, right when I started this job. But, it's time to move on... I'm retiring. (Yeah, that old.) So, though I'll be part time for a few months, and running CentOS at home (in spite of my manager's pushing me to do Ubuntu). This list is *so* much more useful than any of the ones I've seen for Ubuntu, or much else. I'm very much looking forward to C 8. One more thing: I know I've been over the top on ethics "I work for a US federal contractor, but not saying more", even though there's folks like Todd, who's military. Anyway, now that I'm out, today, my line (in person) was, "I'm with the federal goverment, and I'm here to help you." Then, after they ask if I'll have to kill them, I can say, no: I've been with the NIH, and so, yes, I really meant it. I'll show up occasionally, but not like I have been. So long, and thanks for all the fish. mark

Slideshow/presentation software for CentOS
by H 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

I am looking for software to make slideshows/presentations on CentOS, incorporating photos, videos and text (possibly also music) allowing for transition effects etc. I'd like to be able to drag and drop/rearrange photos etc. from different folders into a timeline and eventually end up with something I can show. Ideally without having to make copies of photos and store them in a folder specific for this but drag and drop from whatever folder the photo etc. already exists in. Impress and similar PowerPoint-like software excluded. I have found a few packages on the net but nothing that is still being developed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

C7.6 Update problem
by Alessandro Baggi 27 Aug '19

Hi list, today I tried to update my centos workstation (7.6.1810). My problem concerns kmod-nvidia update. Nvidia driver where installed by elrepo. During running yum update I get: kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo elrepo and I also get several statements like this: Errore: Pacchetto: kmod-nvidia-430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64 (elrepo) Richiede: kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x5b116915 Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.12.1.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.12.2.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.21.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64 (base) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.12.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.12.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.21.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 I noticed that running "yum list kmod-nvidia" I have installed version 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo and now is available version 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo and the first thing that I see is minor release change from 7_6 to 7_7. Reading from this https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=920&nbn=4 seems that kmod-driver was uploaded for 7.7 release but centos is on 7.6. I'm not using elrepo-testing but yum try to update 7_7 version. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

Extend DHCP range
by Jerry Geis 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

I have a simple DHCP range . option routers 192.168.1.1; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.60 192.168.1.129; range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.199; } So I want to add a range 192.168.2.1 -> 192.168.2.254 so I did this: subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 { range 192.168.1.60 192.168.1.129; range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.199; range 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.254; } then tried to restart the dhcpd server... This did not work. How do I get more dhcp addresses ? Thanks, Jerry

kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 fails to install
by Gregory P. Ennis 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Everyone, On August 2, my desktop unit updated with kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64nnn which broke yum having a multiple of dependencies not being present. I uninstall kmod- dvidia with the hopes that a fresh install would fix the provlem, but it did not. nvidia-detect returns : kmod-nvidia An Intel display controller was also detected I was hoping that this was a repository problem that would become fixed, but I am still now unable to reinstall kmod-nvidia. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might begin a fix. I would surely like to use my nvidia card again. Thanks for your help!!! Greg Ennis

What is "Release Work"? (CentOS 8)
by Kenneth Porter 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

<https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8> Everything in the task list shows "done". Yay! Except the last item, "Release work", which isn't in the Definitions at the end. Does this mean it just needs to be rolled up into an installation ISO? I see activity in Koji but I don't know what it means: <https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/index> (I don't intend this to be nagging. I just seek help in reading the runes.)

CentOS7/Cups/Ldap
by Patrick Bégou 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hi, I've posted this on cups forum several days ago but did not receive any suggestion. May be Centos Users/admins could give me some advices. I've setup my first cups server to provide printing services to several clients (instead of each CentOS client reaching the printer). It is a dedicated VM running CentOS7. On the web interface all requests belong to Withheld user and it is difficult to know who is printing and who can cancel his request. Is there some documentation/tutorial to instruct cups to use a remote ldap server to identify users? Of course users should not be allowed to log on the cups server with ssh! Thanks Patrick

CentOS 5 file system read only issue
by Xinhuan Zheng 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Hello Everyone, We are using CentOS 5 system for certain application. Those are VM guests running in VMware. There is datastore issue occasionally, causing all file systems becoming read only file systems. So application stop working, and opened files cannot be written either. We cannot even ssh login to the system. Typically we had to power cycle the VM. We are trying to add reliability to the application so that if files cannot be written, application should time out. We are trying to use IO::Select to handle timeout. Per investigation, we found below does not work as expected: my $s = IO::Select->new( $fh ); if ( $io->can_write( 10 ) { # print to the file } It seems like can_write returns true even we manually made file system read only in our testing case. Is this something we can accomplish using select system call with timeout value? Thanks in advance, - Xinhuan Zheng

CentOS Amazon Machine Image?
by Robert Moskowitz 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

I am totally new to AWS. There was a posting here ~ a year ago making claims about setting up a CentOS image on AWS. I have created a free AWS account and am looking at the available images. None are named CentOS. There is a Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 and Amazon's own Linux and SUSE, Ubuntu, but I don't find CentOS. This is a learning endeavor. I was thinking to first set up a BIND slave for my domain. Then move on to a http image, then work with MariaDB. All to see what I can do with AWS that is familiar to what I do on my own servers. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

CentOS 6 SELinux question: inbound ssh.
by Robert Heller 18 Aug '19

18 Aug '19

OK, after beating my head against the wall for an hour or so, I finally figured out why I could not ssh from a MacMini (running MacOSX 10.11.6) to my Linux Desktop (running CentOS 6), using the amandabackup account with public key authentification. SELinux! It seems the SELinux won't allow this if the target user's "home" directory is does not have a <mumble>_home_t security context. It there some trick/hack to fix this *specifically* for the amandabackup account? Right now the amandabackup $HOME is /var/lib/amanda/ and its security context is system_u:object_r:amanda_var_lib_t:s0 It of course needs to retain this for amanda to work. But I need to do something non-standard: I am not able to build a *working* version of the amanda client on the Mac. Despite what it says on the amanda.org website, Amanda is basically not supported under BSD (MacOSX is basically BSD) and I am not getting help on the Amanda mailing lists. I need to backup this machine, so I am going to punt and resurect a script I was using before I started using Amanda and do an independent backup process, but I want to put the backups on the same disk that amandabackup is using and the disk is set up to be written by amandabackup, so I want to use the amandabackup to write the files, using ssh from the amanda account on the Mac. Is there some hack to get SELinux to cooperate with this scheme? Or do I have to do something else? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller(a)deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services

Availability of rsyslog-8.24.0-41.el7_7.x86_64
by Dennis Well 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Hey there, RedHat released the new version 8.24.0-41 of rsyslog on 2019-08-06. We need some fixes of this version and would like to know about which time this version will be available for CentOS. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/ still lists rsyslog-8.24.0-34 ( 2018-11-12). Currently I assume the maintainer might be on vacation? CheersDennis

failing to install LibreOffice 6.3.0.4
by Fred Smith 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

As in subject, am attempting to install latest LibreOffice on C7. unpack all the rpm files, type "yum install *.rpm", or "yum localinstall *.rpm" and yum spews the list of filenames (with the word "examining" in front of each file) then says "nothing to do". what the hey? I tried "yum clean all" but it didn't help. I also verified the sha256sum of the download. Anyone got any good advice? thanks in advance!

DHCP and no network for long time
by Jerry Geis 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

Odd thing happened... A centos 7 install set for DHCP. boot the box no network connected. I let it like this overnight. I come in this morning and plug in the network. Is it supposed to get a DHCP address at that time ? It did not . service network restart did get an address. if I unplug the network, reboot the box, want a minute or so - then plug the network in - it gets a DHCP address. Is there a "limit" to the time that the OS will keep trying to get a DHCP address ? Thanks, Jerry

another bizarre thing...
by Fred Smith 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

Hi all! I'm stuck on something really bizarre that is happening to a product I "own" at work. It's a C program, built on CentOS, runs on CentOs or RHEL, has been in circulation since the early 00's, is in use at hundreds of sites. recently, at multiple customer sites it has started just going away. no core file (yes, ulimit is configured), nothing in any of its (several) log files. it's just gone. running it under strace until it dies reveals that every thread has been given a SIGKILL. How does one figure out who deliverd a SIGKILL? For other, non-fatal, signals it is possible to glean the PID of the sending process in a signal handler, but obviously you can't do that for SIGKILL because the app doesn't survive the signal. I'm grasping at straws here, and am open to almost any kind of suggestion that can be followed-up (as compared to "beats me" which is where I am now).

Data migration from one server to another- Centos 7
by Matt Zand 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

I want to move all my OS, services like Apache configuration and application (web server) files and folders to another brand new server. Both servers are running on Centos 7. i want to clone everything. My questions 1- what is the easiest way to do this? 2- do I need to partition hard-drive of new server exactly as old one? 3- Is there any changes to make on new server after full migration? 4- will root and other user credentials stay the same? Any other suggestion appreciated, -- Cheers, Matt Zand Cell: 202-420-9192 Work: 240-200-6131 High School Technology Services <https://myhsts.org/> DC Web Makers <https://dcwebmakers.com/> Coding Bootcamps <https://coding-bootcamps.com/>

C7 Kernel module compilation
by Alessandro Baggi 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hey there, I'm trying to compile a single module following this guide: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules#head-d2e4c05886f94c701… and https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source I tried to compile a module for novuton led controller supplied by thirdparty and I got several error. To check if this is the wrong procedure I tried to compile cifs module as listed in howto but when loading with modprobe I get "Exec format error", and from dmesg "cifs: no symbol version for module_layout ", the same errors when compiling novuton module and I don't know why I get this error. I noticed that modules in centos are compressed in .xz but after running make M=fs/cifs I got only a .ko kernel module and then I run xz to compress the new module. Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance.

Mate on Centos 7
by H 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

I have been running Mate on Centos 7 for some time but it does not work very well on my HiDPI laptop screen. Today I found that I am running version 1.16 of Mate whereas the current version is 1.22. Undoubtedly many of the issues have been fixed since 1.16 was released in 2016... However, EPEL only provides 1.16 - a release from 2016 - and nothing later. What is the recommended way to upgrade to 1.22?

Virtual manager and vhdx
by Jerry Geis 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

I am trying to find out if Virtual Manager or qemu directly can take a Hyper v vhdx file and use it "as is"... I desire to not boot windows, update the vhdx image I have created, etc... I'd rather just have the vhdx image sitting on linux, boot the virtual manager with the vhdx file, update what I need to update and shut back down. Is that possible ? Thanks, Jerry

Question on server speed
by Jerry Geis 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Hi all, I have a customer server with 32 cores, 128G ram i7960X. So nice box... Why is it that "all" I am really doing at the moment is copying things to an external SSD disk USB3 connected and the machine "freezes"... Why is that? clearly plenty of CPU RAM everything... I can see "blocking" to write data to the external disk - but there are 31 other cores and plenty of memory to make it "seem" as nothing is happening right now. Do I need to 'tweak' something to no see GUI freezes... Waiting on characters to show - even remoted in with SSH experiences the same thing - so its not just X. Thanks for any suggestions. Jerry

[OT] odd network question
by Fred Smith 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

I know this is OT, but I'm not sure where else to ask. I can hope for fogiveness! :) My home router sends its logs to the rsyslog on my desktop system, and from there I can learn all kinds of interesting (or disturbing) things. I've written a really horrid shellscript (about 20 things piped together with a temp file in the middle) to give me the count of DROP events for specific incoming ports. (The "Description" field is lifted verbatim from /etc/services.) Count Port Description ----- ---- ----------- 140750 48825 12251 23 telnet 23/tcp 10043 445 microsoft-ds 445/tcp 2869 1 tcpmux 1/tcp # TCP port service multiplexer 2478 9 discard 9/tcp sink null 2154 8080 webcache 8080/tcp http-alt # WWW caching service 1990 5060 sip 5060/tcp # SIP 1592 8089 1452 8545 1358 3389 ms-wbt-server 3389/tcp # MS WBT Server 1275 443 https 443/tcp # http protocol over TLS/SSL 1275 81 1258 5000 commplex-main 5000/tcp # 1244 80 http 80/tcp www www-http # WorldWideWeb HTTP 1022 8291 840 60001 834 7547 cwmp 7547/tcp # DSL Forum CWMP 821 1433 ms-sql-s 1433/tcp # Microsoft-SQL-Server 809 2323 3d-nfsd 2323/tcp # 3d-nfsd 764 5555 personal-agent 5555/tcp # Personal Agent This is just the first screen of it, there are many more. The data compiled here is for the last month (rsyslog is keeping the current log plus four older logs). I find it disturbing that there were 12251 attempts at telnet during that time, 2154 on 8080, and so forth. either I'm some kind of special/hot target, or else everybody gets this kind of crap and may not even know it. But the one thing I mean to ask about here is the very first item, 140,750 attempts at port 48825. What the heck is port 48825? I can't find any reference to anything that uses it online, but for some reason it is extremely popular, at least amongst the turkeys trying to break into my network! A little more grepping: grep 'DPT=48825' Firewall-Log* | grep -o "SRC=[09123456789.]*" | sort -u -t '.' -k "1.5g,1g" | less reveals that of all the source addresses trying to poke at 48825, there are 193 unique addresses. Either this indicates a heck of a lot of sites having at my firewall, or that some few sites are all spoofing their addresses. I can sort of understand people whaling away at ports that may conceal gold, from their warped point of view, but I haven't a clue why so many people would be beating on some apparently unassigned and unused port. Anyone got any clues? Thanks in advance!

Peculiar process name in /proc
by John Horne 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Hello, I was looking at a process through the '/proc' file system, and came across a process name which seemed to contain a hex value: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 xymon xymon 0 Aug 2 14:07 /proc/58032/exe -> /usr/sbin/xymond;5d44410e (deleted) I am aware of what the 'deleted' part means, but have no idea what the ';5d44410e' part means. Is this some sort of thread reference? The file '/usr/sbin/xymond' does exist and is running as a daemon. Anyone know what the ';5d44410e' is referring to? I have tried Googling about this, but found no mention of it.

nouveau problem
by John Chludzinski 03 Aug '19

When I attach an external monitor to my new Dell Precision I always get this and the monitor refuses to recognize video input. If I persist it reaches a point where the machine will boot but won't bring up a login prompt. I have to ssh to get in. And worst of all, it persisted after I remove the external monitor and am forced to re-install CentOS (7.6.1810).
