Re: [CentOS] self signing certificates

The book "Network Security Hacks" (Andrew Lockhart, O'Reilly) gives a procedure for doing this (p. 112). You generate a .der file from the cacert.pem file, add a new mime type in the Apache config and then make the pem and der files available on your server. The users can now install the new root cert by just clicking on a link. (Sorry if this has already been covered - I wasn't paying attention to the earlier discussion).

logwatch not mailing
by Ray Leventhal 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi, # uname -a Linux obfuscated.example.com 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 20:23:34 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I noticed a few days ago that I'm not getting my logwatch emails to the root account any longer, and while I've definitely been applying updates from base, no other changes have happened on this box. I ran logwatch at the command line: logwatch --detail medium --mailto root(a)fqdn.example.com but still no email. As expected, /etc/cron.daily has the following entry: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jul 30 2008 0logwatch -> /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl Where should I start looking to figure out why logwatch seems not to be doing its thing? Thanks in advance, -Ray

httpd - mysql - paypal.com.tar - hacker
by Gregory P. Ennis 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Everyone, This morning I received a notice from PayPal that one of our sites got hacked and was spoofing a PayPal web site. When I checked the the site, I was surprised to find they were correct. About 5 days a go we had a server that got hacked and somehow the file paypal.com.tar got uploaded to our server and then stored in a a subdirectory of /var/www/. I had previously started a mysqld server and planned on using it for web authorizations. I had not been able to work on it, but left it in place. I looked like the hacker downloaded his paypal spoof files into a subdirectory of /var/www/phpmyadmin. I am running 5.3 with all current updates. I do not have telnet or ftp active on this server, and have password authentication of sshd turned off. I have tried to obtain dialog with PayPal about this but they have not responded to my queries. If any of you have had some experience with this I would be interested in knowing how this may have happened. I have shutdown the mysqld server as well as removed access in httpd.conf of the /var/www/phpmyadmin directory in order to shutdown the spoofing site. If any of you have a leg up on this I would appreciate your help. Greg Ennis P.S. I found the following entry in my error_log of /var/log/httpd/ : [Sun Aug 16 04:26:19 2009] [info] Server built: Jul 14 2009 06:02:39 --00:21:14-- http://code.go.ro/paypal.com.tar Resolving code.go.ro... 81.196.20.134 Connecting to code.go.ro|81.196.20.134|:80... connected.

virt-manager crashes Host during installation of guest
by Bernhard Gschaider 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi! I have the following problem: I have a server (CentOS 5.3 x86_64) on which I want to install a virtual Xen-machine (CentOS 5.3 x86_64), I ssh from my workstation (Centos 5.3 x86_64 .... do you see the pattern ;) ) to that server and start the virt-manager. I create a new Guest (Paravirtualiuzed) and point it to the server with the installation files (CentOS 5.3, but I already said that). The manager creates the disk image an then opens the Graphical console for installation. Sometime around the point where the installation program wants me to select the keyboard the graphical console it freezes. The server is completely dead (no console, no disk activity, no ping, only a reset will "repair" it) My question: am I doing something stupid? But I figured "They're all the same system, this must work" I don't want to play around with it too much as the server is also our file-server and people start complaining. So any hint will be greatly appreciated (otherwise I'll have to setup another machine for the guests) Bernhard -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DI Bernhard F.W.

Firewall and nfs mounts
by Anne Wilson 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Which ports need to be open on a nfs mount server? And does the client need anything opening? I tried setting 2049 udp and tcp, using system-config-securitylevel, but it doesn't seem to save the settings. First, am I trying the correct ports? Second, what am I missing in making the changes stick? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

Re: [CentOS] Samba "use sendfile" configuration option set do disabled as default - why?
by Per Qvindesland 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi Have you tried this one socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 Also look at the log level reduce it to level to or lower. Per --- Original message follows --- SUBJECT: [CentOS] Samba "use sendfile" configuration option set do disabled as default - why? FROM: happymaster23 TO: "CentOS mailing list" DATE: 24-08-2009 12:47 Hello, I had problems with speed of Samba, so I was looking for some solution and I had discovered "use sendfile" configuration option. I was checking all Samba release notes and I had discovered, that from some version (older than is in CentOS repo) this option was turned on as default. So my question is, why in CentOS 5.3 is that option in default set to off? Thank you for responses Martin Šťastný _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Need Java plugin for Firefox in CentOS 5.3
by Robert Nichols 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Somewhere during the course of recent updates I've lost the Java plugin for Firefox. Not sure when it happened, but I know Java was working in Firefox earlier this year. Firefox comes up empty when searching for a suitable plugin. I'm running a fully updated CentOS 5.3 with the following packages installed: firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115.i386.rpm java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5.i386.rpm Any ideas what I'm missing? The Java plugin is not something I use often, but when I need it, I need it. Do I need to dump openjdk and get Java directly from Sun? It looks like libjavaplugin_oji.so went away when Sun Java got replaced by the openjdk version. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
