Miredo 1.1.5
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

I found a src.rpm for 1.1.5-1 for fc8 (not rh8!). I was able to rebuild it on my Centos build system. The rpms are identified as 1.1.5-1.i386.rpm, no el5 or other identification was placed in the files. I don't see how to control this when you rebuild from an existing src.rpm. Interestingly the fc8 designation was lost. I also rebuild it on my fc10 system. It worked, and the rpms have fc10 in their names. Don't know how well they will work. I will be trying them over the next couple weeks. If anyone wants a copy, let me know....

Iptables Question
by Joseph L. Casale 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

I have a squid proxy running transparently, so in my firewall script I run the following fairly early: iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $LAN -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 This is a multihomed server so after this change the masquerading was removed (as only web access on the lan side of this server was needed). I now need to masq cleanly one device so that it can bypass the squid proxy. As order is important, would it be correct to put the following _in front_ of the PREROUTING command above: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -m mac --mac-source <mac addr> -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp -m multiport --dports 443 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i $WAN -o $LAN -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT Where is the best place to filter for the mac in this scenario? I am hoping anything w/o this mac will skip the whole masq setup and enter the PREROUTING command below, resulting in the traffic being proxied through squid. Thanks! jlc

Fedora 9 domU on CentOS 5.2 dom0 - very unstable?
by Dirk H. Schulz 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

I am running a Fedora 9 domU on CentOS 5.2 dom0, and it is quite unreliable. Every few days I have the following phenomenon: - many applications do not work at all (e. g. Nagios 3.05 stops checking, but the cgis work perfectly, the web server works as well) - system processes run into time outs (e. g. logging in via ssh runs into timeouts <<"connection reset by peer">> after many seconds, logging into the console does not get finished ever, no error, no refusal) and similiar All I can do then is destroy the domain (xm shutdown does not lead to anything either). Is this a known phenomenon? Is there any way to work around it? I do not have these problems with CentOS 5.2 domUs on the same machine (at least not that massive). Every hint or help is appreciated. Dirk

Cannot mount samba shares
by Ralph Angenendt 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Hi, quick(?) question: Has anybody seen that problem below? More important question: Did anybody solve that? This is my smb.conf (well, only the most important parts): [global] workgroup = FOOBAR server string = My Server map to guest = Bad User preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No [on3] comment = Audio-Video-Imports path = /local/mir/import/on3 force group = users read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 guest ok = Yes The path has: drwxrwxr-x 3 mir users 4096 10. Dez 16:35 /local/mir/import/on3/ Meaning: group users and user mir are allowed to write in there. Works fine from windows clients. Guest user gets mapped to "nobody". Doesn't work from linux: [root@shutdown ~]# mount -t cifs -o user=nobody,guest //mir-qs/on3 /mnt/tmp/ mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) root@mir-qs:~# uname -a ; rpm -q samba Linux mir-qs.br.de 2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 19 20:05:04 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux samba-3.0.28-0.el4.9.i386 Machine is up to date. Error message on the server is make_connection: connection to on3 denied due to security descriptor. Googling around led me to the belief that someone fooled around with srvmgr.exe from a windows machine and that I should remove /var/cache/samba/share_info.tdb and restart samba. Which doesn't work. Now if I take out the "force group = users" everything works as expected. Except that I cannot write in this share - nobody isn't in the group users. I don't want to add nobody to the group users, nor can I go and change anything on that server regarding users and groups in the file system. Ah yes, smbclient works fine, but I really do not want to use that either. Cheers, Ralph

I am trying to build Miredo 1.1.5 (http://www.remlab.net/miredo/devel.shtml.en) I have followed the rpmbuild instructions from: http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/, and have the miredo source in ~/build/miredo-1.1.5.

squidGuard-simple.cgi display fields
by Joseph L. Casale 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

I have this cgi file running on CentOS 5 with Apache 2.2.3 and although it executes most fields are empty, a typical block by squidGuard yields this: Supplementary info : Client address = 192.168.0.5+clientname Client name = User ident = Client group = URL = Target class = The redirect lines is: http://localhost/cgi-bin/squidGuard-simple.cgi?clientaddr=%a+clientname=%n+… I assume the "+" throws this off somehow, something to do with cgi and apache? Any ideas? Thanks! jlc

vsftpd and SElinux
by Dirk H. Schulz 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Hi folks, I have configured vsftpd with virtual users for webserver users (that means, a virtual users chrooted home is the document root of a virtual host in apache). That works fine so far - as long as SElinux ist not enforcing. I have tried to audit2allow out the problem, but did not succeed. Virtual vsftpd users are denied access to directories: virtual users are mapped to a system user with vsftpd; after login the vsftpd process changes into the system users home directory, then into the virtual users chroot. And the first step (changing into the system users home dir) is denied by SElinux. But there is no "avc denial" in audit log any more - I have policied these out completely. There seems to be a "dontaudit" denial working - which I cannot make visible on CentOS since the -D flag is not available for semodule (as it is in Fedora 9, e.g.). So I am quite stuck here. Is there anything I can do to find the denial I need to feed into audit2allow? Or some other way to make SElinux accept vsftpds access? Perhaps someone out there has already gone through this process. Any hint or help is appreciated. Dirk

Running on 8G CF card
by Jerry Geis 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

hi all, Was wondering if anyone is running Centos on a CF card slot. It installed OK , it boots ok, but after a while it is no longer on the network. After power cycling there is nothing in the /var/log/messages as to a crash etc... I ran a USB thumb drive 8G on this same PC and it seems to continue to work. Just STICKS out a few inches. Not the best look. Any pointers on how to find out what it doesnt like? Any pointers on running from a CF card. I have done the straight 686 install - I do add asterisk to the box. Jerry

Logwatch - Dovecot logs

Hi, I find some times strange logs in logwatch mail especially under the pam field --------------------- pam_unix Begin ------------------------ dovecot: Unknown Entries: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= : 17784 Time(s) check pass; user unknown: 17784 Time(s) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=mail: 320 Time(s) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=mysql: 304 Time(s) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=postgres: 280 Time(s) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=apache: 264 Time(s) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=root: 264 Time(s) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=ftp: 248 Time(s) bad username []: 32 Time(s) /var/log/messages Dec 6 08:53:10 SYSTEM100 dovecot(pam_unix)[2727]: check pass; user unknown Dec 6 08:53:10 SYSTEM100 dovecot(pam_unix)[2727]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= Dec 6 08:53:10 SYSTEM100 dovecot(pam_unix)[2728]: check pass; user unknown Dec 6 08:53:10 SYSTEM100 dovecot(pam_unix)[2728]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= I could see that its some kind of brute force attack. The question is why dont i see the remote host IP address here ? All other services shows the remote host ip except dovecot. The remote host ip is not present even in the /var/log/messages file Am i missing some option which would show me the remote host IP ? or dovecot in general doesnt log remote host ip or is it some specially crafted packet like the stealth scanning in nmap ? Any help on this issue would be much appreciated. -- Regards, Mohan.

iptables questionson CentOS

Hi, I know these are a few iptbales questions. NOT CentOS, anyway, I am running a firewall on centos 5.x. If you can response, it would be fine. I want to add a SNAT rule for one user in LAN to access one particular destination on the internet. Let's say www.centos.org I added the below rule. But . it does NOT work Pls assume 1.2.3.4 is the real ip of the firewall. ip address 192.168.101.230 is the client PC iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.101.230 -j SNAT --to-source 1.2.3.4 -d www.centos.org Any idea to achieve it? And Also, the below rule excludes 1 ip. it works fine. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m multiport -s ! 192.168.1.9 --destination-port 80,465,995 -j DNAT --to-destination :3128 I want to exclude about 4 or 5 ips. let's say 192.168.1.11, 192.168.1.19, 192.168.1.20,192.168.1.25 Is there a way to do it?

Web Filter

I have a location using a CentOS 5 server that's multihomed running Asterisk and iptables for internal web access. Recently some sales people got busted surfing some explicit content so the owner wants something in there to block this. I had heard of Dans Guardian and am reading about what's involved here but just wanted an opinion on what's the best solution for this. NTLM silent auth would be an asset, but the lan is simple and the owner doesn't need granular control if it would be complicated. What are you guys using with good results?/ Thanks? jlc

Anacron IS installed it is just that....
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

You have to have a system running for more than 65 minutes for it to run the daily cron jobs. And if this is a test system that you keep rebooting. Well. So if I want /var/log/rpmpkgs to get updated, I have to wait until the next day an keep the system up for a bit more than 65 minutes. Actually a quite reasonable requirement. Add this to my 'book': cron is your friend. Anacron is a better friend on a desktop linux system. And I suspect that nightly suspends will NOT trigger anacron. Though probably some time after coming out of suspension for that day anacron might run again. I will have to check this out on Saturday night (I suspend this system every friday afternoon).

New to Centos and have question about updating packages
by Darrell Betts 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have been using Freebsd for along time. I have a client of mine that wants me to use Centos for his email server and web server. Anyway with Freebsd to update the packages file you use the following commands. portsnap fetch fetches all the current port trees portsnap update adds all the new ports to the tree on the server portupgrade -arR will install all the ports that are installed on the server. Now my question is what are the commands for Centos to fetch ,update and install, all the packages installed on the server. I would like to use Yum. Any help would be great.

Missing /etc/log/rpmpkgs
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

On one system I am missing /etc/log/rpmpkgs I believe that this file is updated by some cron job, and maybe I just have not had this system powered up at the right time for the job to run. Though I had thought that if a job was scheduled for a time the computer was off, it would run sometime soon (with some definition of 'soon') once the system was on again. On another system, I have /etc/log/rpmpkgs, but a rpm I installed from the karan testing repo is shown installed in /etc/log/yum.log but not in rpmpkgs.

Red Hat réagit à la crise économique
by Niki Kovacs 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

L'entreprise Red Hat réagit à la crise... en supprimant une énorme fête d'entreprise. Au lieu de cela, ils ont décidé de donner l'argent à l'équivalent américain des Restos du Coeur, soit quelque 800.000 repas: http://www.newsobserver.com/business/story/1314667.html J'ai toujours eu un faible pour Red Hat, mais là, je les apprécie carrément. Comme quoi l'esprit de partage ne s'arrête pas au code source. Nico

how to disable slow repository mirror?
by Tony Schreiner 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Using the yum-fastestmirror plugin on CentOS 5. The mirror that gets selected seems to be always the same one, and the particular one for my EPEL channel is slow as sin (often 30 kB/sec or less). Ctrl-C moves to the next one which is satisfactory, but it's a pain to have to do that every time. Is there a way to prevent a particular mirror from being selected? I can remove the entry from /var/cache/yum/epel/mirrorlist.txt, but it will come back at some point with a refresh. Also, since the mirror is slow, why does it keep getting chosen, for all my machines? Cheers, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Mirroring Hard Drive
by Matt 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have a 500GB Sata drive about 15% used I would like to make an exact copy of too another Sata 500GB drive as a spare. That way if something happens to the one in service I can plug in the spare quickly and restore one of the weekly backups without reinstalling the entire OS and all the little tweaks of setup on this mail/web server. How do I do this? That is make an exact bootable copy of a linux drive. Its running Centos 4.6 if that matters. Matt

Missing grub functionality on CentOS 5
by Kai Schaetzl 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub? I tried with savedefault and it does not create a /boot/grub/default as it should. So I have to assume that fallback isn't there either. The CentOS 5 grub is the same as the CentOS 4 grub and I would assume that it's the latest "legacy" grub, so it should include all that. Anyone knows why it doesn't? Anyone knows if it includes savedefault and fallback functionality? If so, how to make use of it? I downloaded the source and built (but not installed) it, that includes a grub-set-default file. I created a default file with it, but it's still not getting used by savedefault. So I must assume the functionality is not built in the CentOS grub.

Strange error on login: $HOME/.dmrc?
by Niki Kovacs 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Since this morning, when I login, GDM gives me an error message on login (it's in french, so I try to translate roughly): $HOME/.dmrc has been ignored, but it is responsible for saving sessions. It should not be writable for other users, and permissions should be 644. Now I had a look at this ~/.dmrc, and permissions were rw-------. So I did a chmod 644 on it (rw-r--r--) and logged back out... but the problem still persists. I'm puzzled. Any suggestions? Cheers, Niki

CentOS 5 Xen Dom0 Kernel doesn't see CDROM
by Devraj Mukherjee 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi all, I have successfully got Xen virtualisation configured with CentOS 4 (64bit). However now that I am using the Xen Kernel my Dom0 doesn't seem to see the DVDROM device. Is this intentional in the kernel? Is there anything (apart from compiling my own kernel) that will enable the Dom0 to see the DVD-ROM device?

However, none of the directories from the "ls -dl" above (/usr/lib/esc-1.0.0/xulrunner/, /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/, /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.18) appeared in there. With the age of these things, I would have expected them to show. Do I need to add files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d for these? Were they supposed to be in there already? The questions are prompted by investigation of google results, related to my T'bird/FF problem, that yielded some statements that some needed libraries were not found and adding entries to /etc/ld.so.conf would fix it - but those were old posts, not RH or CentOS centric and generally I considered them unreliable for now. But once I saw ldd show not found, I reconsidered. TIA -- Bill

Suggested yum priorities settings for 3rd party repos
by Vandaman 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

In the yum priorities page on the wiki Akemi Yagi suggests http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities [base], [addons], [updates], [extras] ... priority=1 [centosplus],[contrib] ... priority=2 Third Party Repos ... priority=N (where N is > 10 and based on your preference) If you have rpmforge, kbs, epel all set up at 10 then wouldn't those also potentially overwrite each other if the same package exists in all of them? Who has got several 3rd party repos and what are your yum priority for those? Regards, Vandaman.

HAL automount luks device
by Marcus Moeller 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

Hi all, I have set up an encrypted partition on a usb key and can now successfully mount it using: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/DEVICENODE cryptousb mount /dev/mapper/cryptousb /mountpoint My aim is now to do this using HAL and GNOME's Luks integration. I am already asked for the pass phrase after plugging in the device, but I seem to be not allowed to mount it. Do I need to add an fstab entry for the crypto container? Or do I need to modify some udev rules to allow unprivileged users to mount the container? Best Regards Marcus

by linux-crazy 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

Hi all, I am running squid proxy server integrated with Content filter Dansguardian, squidguard and clamav for Http level scanning on centos 5 .Configured webmin management tool to create and manage access control using squidguard plug in. Now it is serving request for 100 machines and Below is my hardware details. Hardware Details SUN BLADE 6000 2.67 GHz * 1 4 Gb RAM 2*146Gb HDD we intend to scale proxy servers with around 7000 to 10000 users in future.Just i want to confirm whether the the above hardware is sufficient enough to serve 10000 users.If not please recommend me the server configuration i have to go for and also how to calculate the same. And also to prevent single point of failure is it possible to configure squid in any load balancing mode (with another dedicated server) if so just guide me how to do the same or provide me the link that best explains squid proxy server in load balancing mode. Anticipating your reply Regards, Craz paps

What ever happened to the dkms atheros drivers/
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

My OQO boxes have the AR5413 wifi chipset, so for the first time in quite a while, I again need to run madwifi. So I went looking for the dkms madwifi rpms, but could not find them. They use to be on rpmforge, as I recall. dkms is there. So have I lost some memory cells or have these rpms taken a hike?

Best way to take snapshots of iSCSI devices using Open-iSCSI + CentOS
by Santi Saez 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

Hi, I want to take snapshots of a iSCSI devices from a target that hasn't snapshot/cloning capabilities (it's a Infortrend A16E storage array). What method are you using to make snapshots/clones of iSCSI targets using Open-iSCSI + CentOS? What about using Open-iSCSI + LVM snapshots system? For example: - Take a LVM snapshot in the initiator with "lvcreate". - Give read-only access to the backup server, for the same LUN/volume. - In the backup server, mount in read-only mode this snapshot. - Take a backup of this snapshot, using dd/tar/rsync for example. - Unmount the snapshot in the backup server. - Remove this snapshot from the host with "lvremove". Is there any soft to make this? thanks! NOTE: It's a must, that device snapshots must be in other device.. not in the same target. Regards, -- Santi Saez http://woop.es
