02 Jun '09

hello all. My system is centos 5.x and there is no module related auditd there is no process(daemon) related auditd and selinux definately disabled. But I can see lots of auditd messages like below. Oct 20 02:01:01 linux kernel: type=1106 audit(1224435661.064:65210): user pid=25860 uid=0 auid=0 msg='PAM: session close acct="root" : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' Is there any way to disable this messages? if I should change /etc/audit/auditd.conf file, please let me know which config should I change. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ 녹돌이의 A+ 중간고사 준비 노하우 공개! 지금 클릭하세요! http://mswindowslive.tistory.com/54

release/update question
by Matthias Leopold 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

hi, since i don't use centos very heavily i'm not too familiar with the centos/rhel release/update process (and i didn't do much research on this): is it normal behavior that through the use of "yum update" systems are forced to follow the point releases of a major release (5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.2, etc)? is there a way and would it make sense to stay within one particular release and receive only security updates? or is this question pointless because point releases _are_ only security updates? thx for teaching a debian user matthias

Hi; I have Centos 5.3 on my labtop and have to vpn a cisco vpn server. So i installed vpnc on my box. Then i want to integrate with NetworkManager and vpnc so i also installed NetworkManager-vpnc 7.0. I configured vpn connection and tried to connect. It looks like it connected but when i try to login my server at behind of the vpn server, i cant reach them. I check the routes and it looks like at below. [root@localhost sysconfig]# route Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 10.15.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 10.255.0.136 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 tun0 10.15.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tun0 When i check the log files everthing seems ok at all.

I can reach my servers. There isnt any error while try with networkmanager vpnc, but it cant connect actually When i looked at routes again. It is shown the same values. Any idea? -- Abdullah Teke --------------------------- abdullahteke(a)gmail.com www.abdullahteke.com

Changing a user's shell on CentOS Directory Server?
by Matt Harrington 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Should unprivileged users be able to change their shell with lchsh on 5.3 and, if it matters, CentOS Directory Server? lchsh seems to require more open permissions than those which come with a default installation: Error initializing libuser: could not open configuration file `/etc/default/useradd': Permission denied.

looking for better graphical download manager for X / KDE / Gnome
by Rudi Ahlers 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hi all, I currently use kget to download files, but find it lacks a lot of features, like bandwidth throttling, auto-resume when internet disconnects & reconnects, download from multiple locations, browser integration, etc. FreeDownloadManager for Windows does all of the above quite well, but I don't use Windows @ home. So, does anyone know of a good alternative to use? I have searched the yum repositories, but don't see anything. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Adding a kernel module to the ISO/installer initrd?
by Tim Nelson 31 May '09

31 May '09

Greetings list! Because of the sheer number of box (re)installations we do that have a CentOS base, I've converted our provisioning process to PXE. However, I've found that an alarming number of motherboards are coming with the Realtek RTL8168 ethernet controller onboard. When the system boots, it cannot find an ethernet controller and the installer process hangs. I made a new initrd from a running system that was installed via CD and had the kernel module installed afterwards. However, when using the new initrd to PXE boot a new box, it dies saying something about not being able to use/find /dev. The original initrd from the ISO is 5.1MB whereas the initrd I built from the working system is only 2.4MB. I have a feeling that the initrd I built (using mkinitrd -v --with=r8168 <path to output initrd> <kernel version>) does not include modules required by the installer. So, my question is this: is there a way to (1) create an initrd with ALL available modules or at the very least, (2) take the original ISO initrd and simply add the module I need? This initrd will need to work with all of the other hardware I support and should not be specialized for this single motherboard if possible. I've been up and down Google/CentOS Wiki/etc and cannot seem to find a valid way of doing either of the above. Suggestions, ideas, help? Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.
