Noob Question: Uninstalling Firefox rpm's
by Chuck 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

I want to uninstall the default version of firefox, however there appears to be 2 of the same rpm's installed and its complaining.. I've been in Solaris land for the last 5 years and my rpm skills aren't the most current; how is this achieved? [root@canthus ~]# rpm -q -a firefox firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos [root@canthus ~]# rpm -e firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos error: "firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos" specifies multiple packages Thanks in advance, rhugga

OT: Strange message in root e-mail possiablly hacked!!! Not sure??
by Lee Perez 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Morning all, Little back ground. Running CentOS 5.3 fully update. I basically run this as router and gateway for home network. I have two(2) winblows machines hooked up. I am running samba for shares. I opened up root's mail this morning and found this strange little comment : Connections Denied: lib/access.c:check_access(327) 58.239.84.158 : 1 Time(s) smbd/process.c:process_smb(1062) 58.239.84.158 : 1 Time(s) So I started looking around in /var/log. I looked at my secure logs and saw nothing out of the ordinary. I looked in samba and found a log file 58.239.84.158.log. I opened it up and it said the following: [2009/08/15 06:31:34, 0] lib/access.c:check_access(327) Denied connection from (58.239.84.158) [2009/08/15 06:31:34, 1] smbd/process.c:process_smb(1062) Connection denied from 58.239.84.158 There is nothing on this server that I can not replace. Did I just get hacked? Should I wipe this thing and start over? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks. Lee Perez

priority plugin and httpd/php
by Dave 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello, I'm running centos 5.3 with the priority plugin enabled. One of my 3rd party repos has updated httpd and php packages that i want to get, however it won't overwrite the base packages of httpd* and php* since they were installed from base. How can i update just these specific packages httpd* and php* without changing my priority options? Thanks. Dave.

Everytime I see this in the logs my internet access stops for about 5 minutes. Nothing else follows in the logs. I have DSL. Any ideas?

Confused about named, chroot, and tmp files.

Centos - Chinese
by Chan Chung Hang Christopher 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

A response I got from the local LUG here in Hong Kong to a post about translating the wiki articles into Chinese pointed me to the links below: http://www.centoschina.com/ http://apt.nc.hcc.edu.tw/web/student_server_centos/student_server_centos.ht… Posted just in case the Centos team has an issue with the first link. The site has a logo with 'CentOS' in it.

to filter dos ip using iptables recent
by MontyRee 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Hello, all. I read this document about iptables recent module. http://blog.andrew.net.au/2005/02/16#ipt_recent_and_ssh_attacks and I would like to filter the excessive spam mail sending ip address by iptables recent module. and some questions. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SPAM iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 --rttl --name SPAM -j DROP If I set like above, I can't understand the meaning of the hitcount. it means the number of a packet, session or connection? above rule means if 4 connection for 60 seconds, the ip will be filtered for 60 seconds, right? if some ip was filtered, how long will be filtered? for 60 seconds? when I see the list as cat /proc/net/ipt_recent/SPAM the maximum number is 100. if it reaches the 100, no problem? and how to increase the number? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ 메신저 10살 생일도 축하해 주시고,이벤트도 참여하세요~! http://im.msn.co.kr/im/main/mainCoverDetail.asp?BbsCode=bbs01&Seq=2688
