Interpreting logwatch
by Timothy Murphy 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Every few days I see in the logwatch on my Centos-5.5 web-server what seems like a rather feeble break-in attempt. Eg today I see --------------------------- 403 Forbidden /phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php: 2 Time(s) /phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php: 2 Time(s) 404 Not Found /PMA2005/scripts/setup.php: 1 Time(s) /TRAD_files/datestamp.js: 1 Time(s) ... --------------------------- followed by dozens of similar lines. As far as I can see, the IP of the person making the attempt (if there was an attempt) is not given. I'm not at all sure what if anything I should do about this. In fact, I'm not clear how one should deal with logwatch entries in general. Is there any document giving advice on this? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Anyone else having problems with updates this morning?
by casey roberts 09 Sep '10

Good morning all, I ran an 'yum update' and have been receiving the following errors: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=addons error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=extras error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=updates error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> And so on for the other mirrors. Is it just me? Thank you.

Shutdown CentOS VM when closing VMWare Workstation
by Alexander Farber 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hello, I'm using CentOS 5.5 / 16bit as a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation and have installed the "VMWare Tools" by running vmware-install.pl and vmware-config-tools.pl but can't figure out how to make the VM shutdown, when I shutdown the Windows PC hosting it. Does anybody please have any hints or scripts? Do I need to use any VMWare modules if I just want to shutdown the VM? Surprisingly I haven't found any good starters on the web yet Thank you Alex PS: Here is what I have in /usr/local # ls /usr/local/bin/ vm-support vmware-toolbox vmware-user vmware-config-tools.pl vmware-toolbox-cmd vmware-user-wrapper vmware-hgfsclient vmware-uninstall-tools.pl vmware-xferlogs # ls /usr/local/sbin/ vmtoolsd vmware-checkvm vmware-rpctool vmware-tools-upgrader # ls /usr/local/lib/vmware-tools/modules/binary/bld-2.6.18-8.el5-i686PAE-RHEL5/objects/ pvscsi.o vmblock.o vmci.o vmhgfs.o vmmemctl.o vmsync.o vmxnet3.o vmxnet.o vsock.o ( <--- not sure if that's the relevant dir) # rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 # /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep -i vmware vmware-tools 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off # sudo lsmod | grep vm vmblock 20512 3 vmmemctl 16956 0 vmci 38308 1 vsock vmxnet3 37764 0 vmxnet 24836 0

LARTC and CentOS question
by Coert Waagmeester 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hello all, Got myself the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic control book http://lartc.org/howto/ All the commands in the guide do not survive reboots. Could someone point me in the right direction, where I can find CentOS/Redhat specific documentation on the whole /etc/sysconfig/network* setup? Kind regards, Coert Waagmeester

Re: [CentOS] Interpreting logwatch

From: Timothy Murphy <gayleard(a)eircom.net> > Every few days I see in the logwatch on my Centos-5.5 web-server > what seems like a rather feeble break-in attempt. > Eg today I see I get proxy scans and phpmyadmin (and others) vulnerabilities scans everyday... They just get 404s in return... You can check the IPs in apache error_log In the beginning I was reporting them to their ISPs but, with the high numbers of daily scans, I just gave up... Either they are part of a botnet (so clueless users infected pcs), or they are abroad (Asia) and the ISP will just mostly ignore your email... Maybe just make sure your set apache ServerSignature to Off... One annoying "bug" about logwatch is that it does not cope with the lack of year in yum.log dates, so it will happily report packages installs from last years as if it just happened... JD

GPL question
by Kevin Kempter 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi All; I have a GPL question - sorry if it's way off topic. We're pushing on a system that collects a variety of data points and pulls them into a single report. One of the modules we use is a 3rd party tool that generates an html report which equates to one of the pages on the report that's then delivered to the customer. In this scenario is the code that generates all the other modules/pages of the report subject to the GPL as well? Thanks in advance

metafont on CentOS 5?
by Todd Denniston 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Can someone hit me with the appropriate clue-by-4? is there an available package for CentOS5 which provides the metafont command, or a replacement? What is the name and which repo? please. I have a font bundle I need to use (which is not provided in an RPM that I can find), but metafont does not seem to be available. tetex provides the /usr/share/texmf/metafont directory structure, but not a */bin/metafont... Thanks. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter
