Weird Secure log timestamp problem
by Mike 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Greetings. I'm running CentOS on multiple machines and a few third-party VPS's and have some odd logging issues today. It all started when tcpwrappers couldn't seem to recognize my PC's hostname as being a valid hostname for access. Fortunately I was able to get in with a direct IP. When trying to discover what's going on, I found some very odd entries in the secure log... (IP's changed to protect the identity of my PC and the machines) Mar 8 17:55:53 server123 sshd[3053]: Failed publickey for root from ::ffff:192.168.87.119 port 45686 ssh2 Mar 8 17:55:55 server123 sshd[3053]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:192.168.87.119 port 45686 ssh2 Mar 8 09:55:55 server123 sshd[3052]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:192.168.87.119 port 45686 ssh2 Mar 8 18:01:18 server123 sshd[4743]: Failed publickey for root from ::ffff:192.168.87.119 port 45692 ssh2 Mar 8 18:01:20 server123 sshd[4743]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:192.168.87.119 port 45692 ssh2 Mar 8 10:01:20 server123 sshd[4742]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:192.168.87.119 port 45692 ssh2 Mar 8 10:01:38 server123 sshd[4792]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for s0106001111e058c2.myispdomain.net failed - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT! Mar 8 10:01:38 server123 sshd[4792]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:10.10..161.102 port 57689 ssh2 Mar 8 10:01:38 server123 sshd[4793]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:10.10..161.102 port 57689 ssh2 Mar 8 18:07:19 server123 sshd[6411]: Connection closed by ::ffff:10.10..161.102 Mar 8 18:09:02 server123 sshd[6699]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:10.10..161.102 port 58017 ssh2 Mar 8 10:09:02 server123 sshd[6698]: Accepted password for root from ::ffff:10.10..161.102 port 58017 ssh2 This snippet is in order that it appears in the database. Notice the timestamp. It starts off thinking it's almost 6pm then reverts th the correct time of almost 10am, then to 6pm, then back to 10am and so on and so forth. Upon looking back even further, I can see that this has been happening as far back as the secure logs go... Early February. Checking through other machines, most seem to have this behavior, but some do not. The machines I've updated using "yum update" recently seem to be the ones with this odd behavior. Machines that are less up-to-date don't seem to have any weird logging and accept my SSH as expected. I've been watching the server time using date and it seems to always report what it should... -- Mike

Screen blacked out
by techlists＠comcast.net 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

I have a CentOS 4.3 workstation I use for experimentation on my desk at work. It was plugged into an old LG 14" monitor, and I switched the video cable to a Samsung 17" LCD without rebooting. The screen resolution was set to 800x600 on the 14" monitor, and the display worked fine at 800x600 after switching to the Samsung 17". When I changed the resolution to 1024x764, the screen went black and I haven't been able to get it back again. I hoped rebooting and having the system search for new hardware would adjust the display driver to the correct monitor but it didn't. I booted with CD1 in rescue mode and changed /etc/inittab to start in command line mode (3), but the screen still goes black after going through some initial boot processes. I suspect the issue is driver related, rather than screen resolution related. When I initially went to change the resolution, it recognized the monitor as a generic VGA, and I changed the monitor type to Samsung Syncmaster 711T at the same time as changing the resolution. How can I get the system to recognize the new monitor? Paul G.

Help with Dell PE2950 and RAID5 setup
by Scott Ehrlich 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

I've got a new PE2950 rack system with PERC controller and 6 drives set up contiguously as one RAID5 volume on the PERC controller. Using 64-bit CentOS 4.4, I partitioned for /boot having 100 Meg, swap having 2 gig, and / with the rest (removed LVM). After the install was complete, the system rebooted and just gave me a broken grub prompt (not the graphical Grub boot selector, but grub>). I fed it root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0) and rebooted. I then got the grub gui, but also got the following after the attempted kernel boot: Decompressing Linux...done. Booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting sda: asking for cache data failed sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: asking for cache data failed sda: assumint drive cache: write through EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=2132343, block=1231234 mount: error 5 mounting none EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=123123, block=124324123 EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=6353565, block=34634635 WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=1245546546, block=645243235 umount /initrd/dev failed: 5 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! What might be wrong? Bad hard drive? This, again, is a fresh install, straight off the 64-bit CentOS 4.4 4 CD set. Thanks. Scott
