Adding new Hard disk to server with RAID-5
by Lunix1618 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi all, I have Dell 2950 III with RAID-5 installed and managed by hardware Raid controller, I also use LVM when install CentOS. Now I get more 03 Hard disk and I would like to add it in to the running system. My question is: 1) if new hard disks add in to the machine, I have to rebuild the RAID volume with RAID management (raid controller) and the volume will be expanded, but is that make any problem to LVM at OS level ? 2) if (1's) answer is YES, what I need to do to prevent trouble occur ? If any one exprience or know the place can help me start pls share. Sorry for the dumb question but I never did this before as a newbie Linux admin - I am 'handmade' former....Windows admin Thanks for your help. regards.

CentOS position on systems intrusion at Red Hat
by Karanbir Singh 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Earlier in the day today Red Hat made an announcement [1] that there had been an intrusion into some of their computer systems last week. In the same announcement they mention that some of the packages for OpenSSH on RHEL-4 ( i386 and x86_64 ) as well as RHEL-5 ( x86_64 ) were signed by the intruder. In their announcement they also clarified that they were confident that none of these, potentially compromised, packages made their way into or through RHN to client and customer machines. As a security measure a script [3] was made available along with a semi-detailed description of the issue [2]. We take security issues very seriously, and as soon as we were made aware of the situation I undertook a complete audit of the entire CentOS4/5 Build and Signing infrastructure. We can now assure everyone that no compromise has taken place anywhere within the CentOS Infrastructure. Our entire setup is located behind multiple firewalls, and only accessible from a very small number of places, by only a few people. Also included in this audit were all entry points to the build services, signing machines, primary release machines and connectivity between all these hosts. Since OpenSSH is a critical component of any Linux machine, we considered it essential to audit the last two released package sets ( openssh-4.3p2-26.el5.src.rpm, openssh-4.3p2-26.el5_2.1.src.rpm ). I have just finished this code audit, and can assure everyone that there is no compromised code included in either of these packages. A similar check is also being done for the CentOS-4 sources. Packages released today, by upstream, ( based on : openssh-4.3p2-26.el5_2.1.src.rpm, openssh-3.9p1-11.el4_7.src.rpm ) address two issues. Firstly they contain a fix for http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4752 . And secondly, in the remote event that someone had indeed got compromised packages via RHN, their packages would get updated to a known good state. We wanted to get these packages out right away to address the first issue, and also to cover users converting non updated RHEL installs to CentOS in the next few weeks/months. Release of these packages into the mirror.centos.org network does *not* imply that CentOS users are affected by the intrusion at Red Hat. Finally, while we feel confident that there is no possibility of this compromise having been passed onto the CentOS userbase, we still encourage users to verify their packages independently using whatever resources they might have available. -- [1]: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0855.html [2]: http://www.redhat.com/security/data/openssh-blacklist.html [3]: https://www.redhat.com/security/data/openssh-blacklist-1.0.sh :Its important to note that this script *only* checks for packages built within Red Hat, and will *not* be a reliable source of verification on CentOS since we rebuild from sources, using no Red Hat binary. -- Karanbir Singh CentOS Project { http://www.centos.org/ } irc: z00dax, #centos(a)irc.freenode.net

Is there a way to save the routing table permanently?
by ABBAS KHAN 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I'm adding the default gateway to the route through "route add default gw 10.10.10.10" which is also shown in "route -n" but the problem is that as soon as I restart the network through /etc/init.d/network restart; the route sets to default one...! SO, my question is there any way to save the modified route permanently by hardcoding the changes? Thanks.

A couple of minutes on GnuPG and signing files
by R P Herrold 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

There has been a notice of a breach (see: CVE-2007-4752) as to some binary content upstream of CentOS. I do not address that matter here beyond stating that the CentOS team have responded to the matter, and will continue this review process: updated 22 Aug 2008 CentOS acknowledge CVE-2007-4752 and are reviewing our build and signing processes and hosts for signs of tampering subsequent to retrieval of SRPMs It can be hard for a person to get a capsule writeup on signed content, and how to verify that it is indeed authentic. I have placed clearsigned content addressing this process at my personal domain webserver: http://www.herrold.com/import-key-howto.txt.asc and as an attachment to this email. I have verified that the copy at my site verifies. this email. Hopefully this attched writeup will transit the CentOS mailing list manager intact.

And then we can validate ('--verify') that the signature and the file were signed by a person in possession of the private key. Hopefully that private key is itself protected, as behind one way firewalls, and with a 'pass phrase' which matches a known public (which we retrieved and added earlier). This procedural security process is followed by me [one way firewalls, and pass phrases, and other CentOS team members], along with other measures.

This is a non-detached (clearsigned, file, and might also be tested by retrieving the indicated key contents, and doing a '--verify' 12.

Support policy CentOS 5
by Patrick Derwael 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi list Can someone tell me what the exact CentOS policy for end-of-life is for 5.0? Let me explain: I have been using RHEL for a number of years and had to switch to Fedora for installing some packages only supported under F6. As I find Fedora's policy for release life duration too stringent (and I do no longer need the packages that made me choose F6), I'm considering switching over to CentOS5.0 I know, 5.0 is not the most recent release, but that one is supported by Parallel Pro (new package I need) Thanks

Simple IPTABLES Question

22 Aug '08

I added these rules to IPTABLES to slow brute force attacks. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s my_subnet/24 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SSH iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 5 --rttl --name SSH -j DROP I would like log entries when connections are dropped to see that its working. How do I do that? I am guessing I would add this before the drop. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 5 --rttl --name SSH -j LOG --log-prefix 'SSH attack: ' Is that right?

iscsi and the last mile...
by Scott R. Ehrlich 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I have a new Dell PowerEdge 2950 running CentOS 5.0 out-of-box and a Dell MD3000i. I am new to iscsi and, with google and included documentation, am having a heck of a time trying to get the RAID volumes I have created on the 3000i to be seen by the OS as usuable drives. I have printed out SMcli and iscsiadm documentation. I have asked on the linux-poweredge(a)dell.com site, too. Many leads, but there is something - be it a command, setting, or whatever else, that is just eluding me. How do I get the RAID devices seen on my C 5.0 box? The setup is currently on an isolated LAN and has no valuable data - all testing and experimenting by me, for now, to learn how it works, before putting it into production. Thanks for any and all leads. Scott

Xen "bridged" networking config
by David Dyer-Bennet 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I've got a Centos guest and a Windows 2003 server guest running in Xen under Centos (5.2 in both cases), and they can get out to the network, and I can ping them from dom0. This is my first Xen install, and I haven't used Linux as a router before (I'm very familiar with it as a webserver and development platform) so I'm a bit weak on the bridging code and NAT / IP masquerading. (Amusingly, I was a voting member of IEEE 802.1 and worked on the .d standard for bridging; that was back when it was new, more than a decade ago, and my memories from then may be doing more harm than good now.) The problem is, I can't originate a connection to either guest from outside. Dom0 is getting IP 192.168.1.91 (from our enterprise DHCP server), which is a reasonable address. There are two bridges created, xenbr0 and virbr0. Virbr0 has an IP of 192.168.122.1 assigned to it, which evidence suggests did *not* come from our DHCP server. The interfaces for the two guest domains have 192.168.122.185 and .198 assigned, also not from our DHCP server. The IPs plus the behavior (can't connect in, can connect out) make it look very much like NAT has been setup, but I can't find any evidence like a "MASQUERADE" target in the dom0 iptables or anything (I've never run NAT on Linux, I could be looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place). This setup does not look anything like the "default" bridging config I find documented on various Xen websites (particularly <http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking>). None of them have "virbr0". I've seen a number of reports that people's working configurations broke when the upgraded to Centos 5.2, so I'm suspecting that what I'm seeing here is how Centos 5.2 chooses to package Xen. And hence I'm asking on a Centos list :-). I created these guests in virt-manager. I selected the "bridging" network configuration. Oh, ip forwarding is on in dom0; that was one of the things several places I looked said was an obvious fix for my problem, but it was already on in the default config, and it wasn't helping. I'm currently not using either vlan or bonding, though I believe both are in my future. One thing at a time; and if I understand the basics I think I just might be able to take it to the next stage. This has gotta be simple; I want the most basic bridged configuration, with the guests directly visible to the outside world. Any ideas? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b(a)dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info

What fires logrotate
by Al Sparks 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I've been taking a look at how RedHat (and CentOS) handles logrotate. According to the man page, logrotate is supposed to be fired by cron. But when I look at root's crontab $ sudo crontab lu root no crontab for root What exactly fires logrotate (and other scheduled events like "logwatch", which ends up in root's inbox)? === Al

VPN traceroute is not consistent/ Bind cannot transfer
by Fajar Priyanto 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I've got this strange thing: I setup a openvpn link between two openwrts. NetA: 192.168.2.0/24 NetB: 192.168.0.0/24 In netA there is a mail server + DNS: 192.168.2.44, with domain name branch.abc.com In netB there is a mail server + DNS: 192.168.0.44, with domain name abc.com I setup both DNS server to be a slave server of each other domain. - From NetA, it is able to 'copy' the abc.com zone from NetB.

I am now > older and wiser and have read things like: > http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls?highlight=(cpan) I attempted this once while building a new machine. It was amazing how fast I got bogged down in dependencies. Almost none of the modules that I needed were available from the repos and as soon as I packaged up one and tried to install it, I found I needed 3 more for dependencies (which also weren't available). I finally gave up trying to install Perl modules via Yum/rpm. I now use CPAN to install Perl packages and Yum for everything else. I find this works well for me and saves an incredible amount of time. If someone would come up with a way to automate the dependency resolution so that I could grab and package everything at once, then I would do it, but I just don't have time to go through the download, package, install, find dependencies, download, package, install, ... process. Apparently, this is on the wishlist for cpan2rpm, but is not implemented yet. -- Bowie

RE: Adaptec 2820 & 2gig+ partitions
by Brian Marshall 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi All, I have some general questions about setting up partitions. I have been struggling to get an array to mount since I upgraded the drives and exceeded a 2 gig partition so now the logical drive won't mount after the install. That being said I have a few questions. Does anyone have any experience or advice for setting up large arrays on 5.2 x86_64? My understanding is I need to setup a GPT partition but I am not having any luck getting a good configuration during the install process. Should I just not try during the install and use parted afterwards or is there a better way to go about this? Also, during testing I just let it do a default configuration on the drives and noticed that it setup a 100mgb partition with the boot map on it and the rest as a LVM volume. Is this a preferred way to do it these days? Thanks for any advice/help Brian

To determine if you have File::Find already installed (which you should), do this: perl -e 'use File::Find' If that runs without errors, it is already installed and you don't have to worry about it. -- Bowie

Centos 5.x again... Is there a way to limit port access on a per-user basis? My practical goal is to limit, who is allowed to use SMTP AUTH in Sendmail. Any possible solutions appreciated...

Disabling IPv4
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I want to seriously work with IPv6 and not have stray IPv4 functions messing with me. So in /etc/sysconfig/network, I commented out NETWORKING=yes. I have NETWORKING_IPV6=yes. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I altered ifcfg-eth0, setting BOOTPROTO=none. That was enough for eth0 to only have IPv6 working on it (have IPV6INIT=yes and IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes). But lo had IPv4. So I commented out all of the IPV4 lines in ifcfg-lo. Still have IPv4 on lo. How do I disable that? Yes, I did an service network restart after changing ifcfg-lo.

As far as I can tell, Centos uses the pkgconfig framework to let programs ask about the preferred libraries. $ /usr/bin/pkg-config --variable=prefix qt-mt /usr/lib/qt-3.3 And I see the file that pkgconfig is reading here: $ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/qt-mt.pc prefix=/usr/lib/qt-3.3 exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include qt_config=qt warn_on release incremental link_prl nocrosscompiler dlopen_opengl minimal-config small-config medium-config large-config full-config styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace inputmethod network canvas table xml opengl sql styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace network canvas table xml opengl sql release dll thread largefile stl ipv6 system-mng mng system-jpeg jpeg system-png png gif system-zlib nis cups bigcodecs x11sm xshape xinerama xcursor xrandr xrender xftfreetype xkb inputmethod dylib create_prl link_prl qt warn_on depend_includepath qmake_cache x11 x11inc create_libtool create_pc moc x11lib I do not know for sure if the environment is accessing the pkgconfig setup to get the information it has, but I know for sure that configure scripts are using pkg-config to ask which qt should be used. Each time I build a program, then, I have to reset QTDIR, QTLIB, QTINC, and the PATH. I guess my question is 1. is 3.3 preferred for some reason by the Centos framework? If a program looks for "qt-mt.pc", does that mean it wishes to use qt3.3 rather than qt4? 2. aside from just hand editing that file and changing the prefix to /usr/lib/qt4, how do I change the preferred QT. The qt4-devel package gives its own set of pc files, but I can't tell how they can be used in the environment.. -- Paul E.

Best way to migrate a server?
by Kevin Thorpe 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

I was just wondering what recommendations you have on migrating a CentOS 5 install between servers? I've done similar in the past by setting up a minimal install in the new server, use tar to copy over the old install and reboot. I was thinking of rsync this time. Is that an acceptable thing to do or have I missed something important? thanks

centos on intel D945GCLF board
by Janez Košmrlj 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi, I am trying to install centos on the intel D945GCLF board. It's a mini-ITX board with the atom processor and it uses the Realtek RTL8102EL LAN chipset. When I disable the on-board LAN card it installs and runs OK, but when I enable it, I get kernel panic at boot. The board runs perfectlj with Fedora 9 (with the latest kernel) or with Ubuntu server. My question is: is there some way to run centos on this board (test kernel, i can try for example)?

Where is cached memory going?
by ABBAS KHAN 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

As by the time, I've learned that Linux works by caching apps by using a lot of RAM and then it reallocates the new stuff by cleaning the old cached pages from memory as compared to other OSs. With 2 gigs of RAM often I see the free memory only as 100-400MB. Using TOP or PS, it doesn't look like any program or process is using excessive memory (the highest process is seen with 1-2% total memory). *So, my questions are:* what programs are using that much of memory? (or cached memory) Is that really due to a lot of cache in the memory *if yes, then, is there a way to parse the cache to findout what applications are eating up the cache?* *how to free the cached memory?* *Currently, here are the details:* Top two high mem processes only using 2.6% of RAM. [root@Ether ~]# ps aux | sort -nrk4 | head -2 abbask 5922 0.0 1.4 364300 28312 ? S Aug19 0:00 /usr/bin/python -E /usr/bin/sealert -s ntop 4914 0.0 1.2 332752 24760 ?
