Johnny's site hacked?
by Chris Mauritz 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Or is it some sort of inside joke? http://www.hughesjr.com/ If it's a bona fide hack, I'd be curious to know how the culprit got in. The the distro's maintainer has gotten burgled one would think that a lot of other systems are at risk. Cheers,

Apache Security
by Matthew T. O'Connor 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Hello, I have a server running CentOS 4.3 with all the latest updates. The server in question has been hacked by spammers a few times. The details of the hack have been basically the same every time. I find some directory created by the apache user account in /tmp. The new directory contains an html file, and a list of email addresses to spam and a perl script that spams all those email addresses with the html file. My question is why is this happening? Obviously it's some apache exploit. I have removed mod_perl, that didn't help. I have now changed the permissions on the perl executable, that might help we will see, but that doesn't address the core problem. How is it that someone can upload arbitrary files to my server and then execute an arbitrary command via apache. Is this a know problem? Have others seen it? What can I do to help prevent this? Thanks, Matt

KDE Screen Saver and Centos 4.3
by BRUCE STANLEY 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

In Centos 4.1 I am having to user the Xscreen saver as a work around due to the KDE screen saver not working properly. Has the KDE screen saver been fixed/updated in Centos 4.3, or do you still need to use xscreensaver instead?

I followed the below link to create the virutal users http://linuxsir.zahui.net/html/23/43449.htm I have created a user called "tester" and the entries in the tester file (/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf/tester) are anon_world_readable_only=NO user_sub_token=$USER local_root=/var/www/html/testing write_enable=YES anon_upload_enable=YES chown_uploads=YES The problem I am facing is that virtual user is not able to delete the files or folders under /var/www/html/testing directory but this user can upload and download the files or folders on /var/www/html/testing The vsftpd.conf file user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf write_enable=NO anon_upload_enable=NO anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO anon_other_write_enable=NO chroot_local_user=YES guest_enable=YES guest_username=apache listen=YES hide_ids=YES hide_files=lost+found pam_service_name=ftp userlist_enable=YES local_umask=022 anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES tcp_wrappers=YES How do I configure vsftp so that virtual users can upload,delete and download the files or folders ?

CentOS is an outgrowth of early efforts of Lance Davis in the UK, and has been consciously shaped, structured and recruited by me and a couple of other admins at the end of the RHL series to tap 'the best and the brightest' of the pool of non-Red Hat RPM based distribution developers to build a professonal grade 'community' RPM based successor to RHL; some of us ran the cAos-1 high performance cluster oriented distribution creation to explore some packaging and buildsystem issues, and to build community, tools, and approaches. Once CentOS was viable, it spun off from being a cAos sub-project into the free-standing project it is now; in Enterprise Linux community rebuild space, it has essentially displaced WhiteBox (in part due to the loss of momentum which last years hurricane inflicted on New Orleans, and John Morris' fine effort), had a friendly merger in of David Parsley's Tao, and regularly has binary updates in place and more available than the upstream, due to a massive mirror pool, and a smart, geo-location aware update mirror dispatching system. > I don't think this is really on-topic for the Dell Poweredge list. dunno -- one is commercial and carries front end SLA's, a certification program, etc, some non-freely available source software, and costs; the other is community, organic and consciously without SLA's and the rest, and is not. Each runs just fine on Dell hardware (which I have been using on Dell PowerEdge kit for many, many years, in specing and delivering complex networks to customers) [btw, Matt, et al., thanks for the XPS series -- it makes a stable, sweet and scaldingly fast Linux lovin' desktop] > The differences between CentOS and RHEL are mainly in the > type and level of support you get from each.

The main CentOS IRC channel #centos on irc.freenode.net consciously tries to mix relentlessly On Topic, fast, technically accurate, work safe _teaching_ replies [based loosely on a Socratic method], with a bit of 'floorshow' -- I am one of the 'ringmasters' most weekday US business hours, and we have developed a cadre of 'regulars,' each of whom demonstrates advanced RHCE level expertise in addressing questions in real time from all comers. > The mailing lists and IRC will not spoon feed an answer and > will tell a person that they are an idiot directly versus > telling their bartender at the end of the shift.

It is also correct that we expressly strive to match build environments, and use 'ldd' and other tools to verify as close as possible binary compatability to the upstream's binary offerings as we can [some recent packages have been built with non-released compiler variants at the upstream 'PNAELV', and so there are minor known divergences from time to time, which thus far have not affected performance]; we upstream issues, and proposed fixes from the CentOS Bug tracker into Red Hat's Bugzilla regularly, and some of the core are well known participants in the 'Fedora' project RH runs. 'performance, kernel stability' and the rest should be identical - if a deviation is suspected, I hope for and want to see a bug filed; we will track down a substantiated issue reported to our bug tracker; we maintain a reporting address, and respond to security inquiries confidentially and promptly; we have the expected mailing lists, website, wiki, forums, and the rest. Sometimes our art is criticized as not as flashy as some other distributions, but the distribution is not looking to win style shows ;) Commercial support is available from several of the core CentOS developers' companies, on an a la carte basis. - Russ Herrold

Broken mirrors

Upgrade 3.4 --> 3.7 went awry: rpmdb hosed
by Bart Schaefer 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

I installed CentOS 3.4 from a CD image I'd burned a while ago, and then attempted to update with yum to 3.7. All the packages installed OK, but at the very end of final cleanup I got an error message from db4 saying to "RUN RECOVERY". I did "rpm --rebuilddb" which may have been the wrong thing -- it issued an error about "pages missing". I then ran it again, and it came back with no errors, but after rebooting (for the kernel update) "rpm -qa" lists only a dozen packages or so, of which "rpm" is not one, and "yum check-update" chokes, showing Null for $releasever and the empty string for $basearch. This was a brand-new system, so I'm thinking I'll just download the 3.7 ISOs and re-install, but on the off chance there's some other way to recover from this I thought I'd ask. There doesn't seem to be anything missing other than a large chunk of the RPM database itself.

Clamav and Postfix
by Alex Palenschat 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Hello all, I am trying to replace a RH 7.1 (ouch!) box that has been running postfix 1.x/clamav/SA/amavisd-new on which the amavis/PF/SA packages have not been updated because of the way they were built/configured. I would like to use CentOS to do this. Having followed the thread regarding perl versioning issues with the latest version of amavisd-new and CentOS Base I am thinking I should pursue another path. I would like to have a solution that follows the distro path as closely as possible (using code supplied by the distro if possible or at least something I can install from a reputable yum repo) and this perhaps comes before using the latest version of amavisd-new. That being said, I'd like to ask if there are others out there on the list using clamav and Postfix together on CentOS and if so, how are you doing it and what did you have to do in order to get it working? Thanks in advance, Alex Palenschat

Centos 4.3: VPN recommend/ howto anyone?

07 Jul '06

Hi, I'm just curious about setting up a new VPN here in the office part of our enterprise, as well as a second in our 75+ node data center co-location facility. Needing to stomp out the ****dows L2TP node here, just too many side-issues with config. I'd like it to run the same OS as all of our servers, e.g. Centos 4.3. Any recommedations on which software/server/client rpm's/targ.gz's to run? Any pointers at existing of wiki-able HOWTO's under Centos I can check out? As usual, if it's not been documented yet, i'd sincerely contribute what I can to the process of rendering a complete document for the future use of the community. -karlski

Yum Update

Why is it when i do a "yum list all kernel*" I only get 4 packages returned from the centosplus repo when in fact there are many many more if I go look in the RPMS folder where it's pulling the packages from? I'm trying to install the basic unsupported kernel (smp) to get XFS support but it doesn't appear when i do a yum list nor can i seem to get it to install when i specify the rpm name itself. As if it isn't there when clearly it is..

cacti on centos
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

Hi all, I'm trying to get Cacti installed on my CentOS 4.3 x86_64 box. I've got all of required packages installed, and created database file, and followed all the instructions in install manual. However, when I get login screen and use admin for username/password, it simply redirects me straight back to login screen. Looking at user_log table, the authentication was successfull (and since it was updated, I know database stuff works OK). If I type username or password wrong, I get messages saying so. If I just use admin as username/password, I get normal login screen with no "wrong password" message. I'm kind of stuck. Googling around hasn't helped much either. Anybody else had same problem? Searching the list archive, I can see there are many folks outthere running Cacti on CentOS, so hopefully somebody could help me out. Some additional notes: One thing I had to do was to hardcode paths in include/config.php for $config["base_path"] and $config["library_path"]. The ereg_replace stuff was throwing "premature end of regular expression" errors. Could be related to the problem I have. I got same thing with Karan's and cacti.org SRPM files (0.8.6d and 0.8.6h, respectively). SELinux is in permissive mode on the box. Relevant RPMs (other than cacti): Cacti box: httpd-2.0.52-22.ent.centos4 php-mhash-4.3.9-3.12 php-imap-4.3.9-3.12 php-pgsql-4.3.9-3.12 php-devel-4.3.9-3.12 php-pear-4.3.9-3.12 php-gd-4.3.9-3.12 php-4.3.9-3.12 php-mcrypt-4.3.9-3.12 php-ldap-4.3.9-3.12 php-snmp-4.3.9-3.12 php-domxml-4.3.9-3.12 php-mysql-4.3.9-3.12 php-eaccelerator-4.3.9_0.9.3-4.2.el4.rf php-mcal-4.3.9-3.12 php-mbstring-4.3.9-3.12 rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el4.rf mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.6 net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-11.EL4.6 MySQL box: MySQL-server-standard-5.0.22-0.rhel4 MySQL-shared-standard-5.0.22-0.rhel4 MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.22-0.rhel4 MySQL-client-standard-5.0.22-0.rhel4 Thanks, -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/

CentOS-4.3 and PHP PostgreSQL extension.
by James B. Byrne 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I need to enable pg support on one of my CentOS servers. I know nothing about PHP but DRUPAL requires a DB backend and we have standardized on pg rather than mysql. The PHP.net page devoted to the subject of pg says that to enable pg support PHP must be built with the flag "--with-pgsql[=DIR]" and that the required support extension must be loaded via the /etc/php.ini file with the statement "extension=pgsql.so". However, I have tried to find this file "pgsql.so" on the CentOS server before proceeding blindly and have come up empty. Can somebody here give me some detailed help on getting DRUPAL running with PsotgreSQL under CentOS; or at least point me to a site where I can find out how to obtatin the necessary and appropriate pgsql.so file? I cannot seem to find the necessary information on either php.net or postgresql.org. Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

Using Centos on both server and client systems a private network
by rance＠frontiernet.net 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

I'm looking for how-tos/hints to make the following possible: I downloaded all four centos 4.3 iso to a ext3 partition on my hd, burned the first disk only, and the a hd based install. Problem: Centos didnt seem to take into account that I was doing a HD based install and and ask me if I wanted to use the hd images as a source for additional appliction installs later. Now it asks me for the cds and I dont want that. I want it to look at the hd for the additional rpms. Question: How can I make this happen? Catch: The catch is that this "server" will eventually be setup to "feed" the cds out to clients when they install and when they "add apps later". So I'd like to use an implementation method that lends itself to both applications. I'm open to nfs, ftp, or http content delivery to clients in case one or the other makes a difference.

how to create a local update server.
by rance＠frontiernet.net 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

could someone please point me in the right direction for creating a local repository for centos updates. Scenario: I have one centos server connected to the internet, it provides ntpd, httpd, and other services to both internal and external clients (only httpd is serving external clients). the clients are connected to the first centos server and it functions as a NAT router for internet sharing purposes. I'd like to create a local updates repository so that clients only need to check MY update server instead of the public ones. I'd like the option of just being a repository of the "update list" (the list of packages that are updated), and being a repository of the .rpm files themselves.

I have installed CentOS 4.3 final and have configured it for file and print server. File server appears to function correctly in the windows environment but the print server mode is not functioning properly. The printer is an HP laserjet 4P and is stalled and functioning for print services from the CENT Platform. Although it is set for sharing and while its icon is shown in the windows environment the call up requires the driver dialog to appear and selection of the driver and its installation goes fine, However, while the drivers are installed and the HP is shown on the Cent platform thedisplay says, "hp on Global-50 Access denied, unable to connect". I have no idea where to go to make this connection. Please advise any one. Thanks Casey admin1

05 Jul '06

I've been trying out the protectbase plugin for yum, and haven't yet determined the best way to selectively update a package. E.g. I'd like to mark the base repo as protected, but get the latest firefox from the centosplus repo. What's the correct incantation for this?

Linux kerberos to Windows AD 2000/2003
by King, John (Greg) (LMIT-HOU) 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

I have spent the last 4-5 hours scrounging google articles on this and have found 2 solutions. The problem is one of them is something that we will not do (as MS will not support extending AD with Services For Unix(SFU)). The other is simply configuring kerberos and pam on the linux system. No problem there from what I can tell. Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0 Default principal: userid(a)dom.ain Valid starting Expires Service principal 07/05/06 07:23:03 07/05/06 17:23:47 krbtgt/DOM.AIN(a)DOM.AIN renew until 07/06/06 07:23:03 Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt0 klist: You have no tickets cached The problem though is configuring winbind from the console (all of the linux systems are nothing more than the kernel, ssh and the few apps necessary for the system to do it's job). All the online examples I have been able to find use the linux GUI. Does anyone know of a document (or mind sharing) how they installed and configured the samba 3 winbind daemon to map SID's to unix uid's/gid's? That would eliminate the need to extend the active directory schema. thanks, Greg

I read this list often, and although I'm not smart enough to contribute, I learn a lot every day. But I read a post from this morning that contained this: >a fair amount of jiggery-pokery Just wondering...is this a technical term? Where is it documented? I won't offer any insight into what vision it gave me. ;-) Thanks for all the work on the distribution and all the invaluable info posted here. -Ben

new clamav update miss 'clamav' user/group creation/update

Hi folks, Just updating clamav 'bundle' from old 'clamav-server' (i think the just previous) and i noticed that the 'clamav' user/group for this pkg is not created by default by the rpm pkg. At the same time, the /var/log/clamav is not updated/created with clamav.clamav ownership, Don't know if it is my actual config (previous one untouched anyway), but this is what i did to get it up and running in a CentOs 4.3 host Thanks for your ideas Jose -------- [root@sparkbox ~]# yum update <...> Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

RE: [CentOS] Centos 4.3: VPN recommend/ howto anyone?

I'm also a fan of CentOS, but take a look at M0n0wall @ http://m0n0.ch . That's what I use for my VPN. At HQ, I use M0n0 on a CF card, with a decent Monarch 1U system, no hard drives. For the remote offices, I use Soekris NET4801 boxes. All embedded, no moving parts, very sweet to use. hth Mark

clamav upgrade help and info
by Robert Hanson 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Dear list... In regards to recent upgrade in www.clamav.net to 0.88.3 and... ...as an example I've used this page to create a process where I can create my own clamav programs/stuff/etc... http://qmail.jms1.net/clamav-upgrade.shtml and so I would go to http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/4/clamav/ and snag the source rpm that Petr made for Fedora 4. He hasn't updated yet (pretty sure he will soon) as an alternative... how would I do what Petr does and create my own clamav source rpm... I don't think it is that hard yet since I am involving production hardware, I wanted to get help and wisdom from the list before I tear apart some servers... ;-> Thanks in advance! - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Question on kernel recompile 2.6.17.3
by Jerry Geis 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I downloaded the kernel from kernel.org. I did the following: cd /usr/src tar -jxf /tmp/linux-2.6.17.3.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.17.3 make menuconfig selected what I needed, saved the new config make bzImage make modules At this point nothing is compiled. All I get is: CHK include/linux/version.h Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST and a command prompt. I did make menuconfig again and it has an [*] next to the kernel modules. Why are modules not compiling? THanks, Jerry

[CentOS] Mysql login-problem after recent 4.1.20 upgrade (CentOS4.3, x86_64)
by Simen Thoresen 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi all, I've upgraded my mysql-installation from the previous 4.1.12 version to the new 4.1.20 version, and I've found that a daemon I'm using suddenly can't log into the database anymore. I've verified the problem with the mysql command; [root@sciream ~]# mysql -upostfix -p mysql Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [root@sciream ~]# I've changed the users password in the mysql database to make sure the encrypted version is compatible with the current server, but to no avail Rolling back to the 4.1.12 version fixed it for me (if not, I'd still be sweating about this ;-), but I hope this mail comes in time to assist others. # rpm -Uvh --oldpackage mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.* \ mysql-server-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.x86_64.rpm \ mysql-devel-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.x86_64.rpm fixed it again. This was with a current CentOS 4.3 install, running in x86_64 mode. Can anyone confirm this? I'll see if I can do this on i386 as well. Yours, -S -- Simen Thoresen, Dolphin ICS

Problem with CentOS 4.3 on kernel and ipvsadm
by Alessio Cecchi 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I have installed two CentOS 4.3 boxes with LVS (from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/csgfs/ ) but all boxes died withe this error frequently: kernel panic - not syncing: fs/block_dev.c:396: spin_lock (fs/block_dev.c:c0361c0) already locked by fs/block_dev.c/287. I have read from this thread http://threebit.net/mail-archive/centos/msg00243.html that this is an unsolved problem. So i have installed the kernel-2.6.9-39.EL from testing repo, but the box diedi with another error: Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'smtp', page c10a2140) Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: flags:0x20000014 mapping:00000000 mapcount:256 count:0 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: Backtrace: Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c014eaad>] bad_page+0x58/0x89 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c014f2e1>] free_hot_cold_page+0x5f/0xc8 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0159b6a>] zap_pte_range+0x1d9/0x226 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0159bf9>] zap_pmd_range+0x42/0x68 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0159c58>] unmap_page_range+0x39/0x5f Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0159d7f>] unmap_vmas+0x101/0x1f8 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c015ed4a>] exit_mmap+0xb8/0x1d0 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0121bb4>] mmput+0xb3/0xd6 Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0127248>] do_exit+0x255/0x59c Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0127727>] sys_exit_group+0x0/0xd Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: [<c0317637>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Jul 2 16:40:40 lvs2 kernel: Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed Jul 3 04:02:02 lvs2 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Jul 3 04:02:02 lvs2 kernel: kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:479!

Latest x86_64 != latest i386 packages?
by Bart Schaefer 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

I have CentOS 4.3 on two machines, one i386 (3.0GHz P4) and one x86_64 (2.6GHz Opteron). Both have centos-release-4-3.2 autoconf-2.59-5 However, on the i386: perl-5.8.5-34.RHEL4 Whereas on the x86_64: perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4 Is this really correct? I ask because when I attempt to recompile zsh on the x86_64 box, I unaccountably get this error: Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 111. I'm trying to recompile zsh in the first place because the "limit" command doesn't work on the x86_64 system, so the SRPM build appears to have incorrectly preprocessed sys/resource.h and I wanted to track down the details before filing a bug report.

Installing TOO USB Drive
by Mike 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

Greetings CentOS Fans. I'm working on an Inspiron 9400 Laptop. It supports booting from USB devices, so I'd like to install CentOS on a USB hard drive as an alternative to XP. I tried booting to the 4.3 (disk 1) CD, but it doesn't see the USB Drive when it gets to the stage of partitioning... any idea what's involved in getting the USB drive recognized so I can install CentOS onto it? Mike.

The following is a paste out of my firewall document that I wrote that has been tested and works: 6.15 Configuring Headless Operation By configuring headless operating we will be able to manage the firewall via a cable plugged into the serial port of the firewall. This obviates the need to plug a keyboard and monitor into it to perform changes. Thus the term headless. 6.15.1 Changes to /etc/inittab The /etc/inittab file contains settings that get applied to the Operating Systems at boot time. There are some changes that need to be made to these settings. In order to edit the /etc/inittab file type: vi /etc/inittab Typing this command will open the /etc/inittab file for editing. As stated earlier the 18th line down is the run level line. Add the following line to the file: S0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 linux This line sets the Operating System to be able to send boot time information to the serial port in addition to the console. After you have made these changes to the /etc/inittab file press the colon (: ) key and then type wq to quit vi and save the changes. 6.15.2 Changes to /etc/securetty The /etc/securetty sets the controls for which TTY devices that the root account can log on via. In order for us to be able to log onto the serial console as root or to be able to su to root we must add a line to the file. In order to edit the /etc/secuertty file type: vi /etc/securetty Typing this command will open the /etc/secuertty file for editing. Add the following line to the end of the file: ttyS0 This line sets the Operating System to allow root to log on to the serial port in addition to the console. After you have made these changes to the /etc/securetty file press the colon (: ) key and then type wq to quit vi and save the changes. 6.15.3 Changes to the Boot Loader In order for boot-time messages to be sent to the console, including the boot loader information some changes must be made to the configuration file for it. The boot loader that CentOS uses is GRUB. As such, the configuration file is /etc/grub.conf. The first change that we must make is to add some lines after the timeout line in the GRUB configuration file. In order to edit the /etc/grub.conf file type: vi /etc/grub.conf Typing this command will open the /etc/grub.conf file for editing. Add the following two lines after the timeout line in the configuration file: serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 terminal --timeout=2 serial console Another change that we must make in the GRUB configuration file is to tell the kernel to send out all kernel-level messages to the serial port in addition to the console. That is done by adding the following line to the end of the kernel line: console=tty1 console=ttyS0,9600 After you have made these changes to the /etc/grub.conf file press the colon (: ) key and then type wq to quit vi and save the changes. Once you have made these changes reboot the firewall by typing by typing: reboot The firewall will now reboot. _______________________________________________ >CentOS mailing list >CentOS(a)centos.org >http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

DNS Server

Hello, I have recently switched from having a dynamic IP address and using a DNS service like zoneedit and dyndns to having a static IP address. How do I stop having to use these DNS services and use my own? I tried changing the DNS servers at my registrar but it won't accept my server. TIA

30 Jun '06

Hello All Currently on a CentOS 4.3 system with the 2.6.14.3 kernel. Is there a recommend way to properly recompile the kernel? I was thinking of dling the source from kernel.org, but I was told that using SRPMs would be better? Any suggestions ? Thank You
