CentOs 4.X and APF firewall issues
by Steph 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, We have 7 Dell 2850 servers with dual xeon 3 gig processors running the APF firewall version 0.9.6 http://rfxnetworks.com/apf.php They run fine for a day or two, then suddenly lock out all incoming connections, other than the backend IP, sometimes restarting the firewall resolves this, but occasionally we may have to leave it 10 mins or so before restarting where it will actually allow connections again. Has anyone had this issue themselves, or does anyone successfully running Cent0s 4.X with the 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel have a sample /etc/apf/config.apf I could take a look at? Thanks in advance Stephanie Royle.

kernel source for 4.4
by Jerry Geis 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, I am looking for the kernel source for 4.4. All I found was kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm <http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.4/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm> I was expecting to find the kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL.src.rpm <http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.4/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm> Are they the same? THanks, Jerry

Pix Firewall Monitoring Software on Linux
by ankush grover 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

hey friends, I am looking for a free open source software (web based or application) through which I can monitor the Pix Firewall. What it should show Interface status or traffic , VPN Connectivity status, CPU Status, Memory Status etc. I am also running DHCP server on Pix Firewall (due to some reasons) If it can monitor that also means showing how many IPAddresses has been assigned, to whom, what is the lease time etc. then it will be very good. I know about cacti but for VPN Connectivity status one has to use telnet which I don't want to use and I don't know about monitoring DHCP server through it. Is there any other tool through which I can monitor Pix Firewaall ? I am using Centos4.0 Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs: OK with CentOS ?
by Rob 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, >From a friend I got a Compaq Alpha ES45 system with 4 CPUs. Also he gave me the CentOS-Alpha installation CDs. The CDs are probably recent, but I'm not sure; they have following kernels in the RPMS directory: kernel-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EC.alpha.rpm kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80.alpha.rpm (Is this then an up-to-date installation CD set?). My main question is: can I install CentOS on this system with these CDs, and will it install "out-of-the-box"? Main concern is the 4 CPUs in this system. Will the kernel-smp RPM automagically activate and use all 4 CPUs? This is the first time for me to install on an Alpha system. Any help on this respect is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Slightly OT: Cron for Logrotate and Squid
by karl＠klxsystems.net 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Howdy list, Hey does anyone know what the best cron job is to call logrotate to run the squid logrotations? -Or the subscribe address for a squid or logrotate mailing list (can't seem to find anything other than the usual MARC archives). I have this in /etc/logrotate.conf # rotate log files daily, they get too big otherwise, another story. daily # keep 8 weeks worth of backlogs e.g. 60 days rotate 8 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # No way, don't compress on a busy cache box, too much load. #compress # Rotate logs for specific daemons here: include /etc/logrotate.d ############################################## I have this in /etc/logrotate.d/squid /var/log/squid/access.log { daily rotate 60 copytruncate #compress notifempty missingok # same for the other two squid logs # This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own. # Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth # doing it just to rotate logs postrotate /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate endscript } ################################################ and it's been suggested to do this in Cron, but it *does not* look right and is the part i'm most concerned about, I drew it slightly out of context from here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/faq.html It's the rm -f statement I worry about. #SQUID - logrotate 01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0 #################################################################### Basically don't want to restart the squid daemon on my cache servers because it's just too too nasty of a proposition. Any suggestions for the proper way to call logrotate from Cron with regard to squid in particular? -karl

Epiphany?
by Steve Bergman 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Is there an official epiphany rpm for RHEL4/Centos4? I know that in the release announcements for RHEL4 beta2 epiphany 1.4 was specifically mentioned as included. But epiphany seems not to be in any of the standard repos or in dag. Thanks, Steve

RE: [CentOS] Install Using Floppy/CD

Charles, Please share with us, what you would like to do. Describe that well and then expect right answers.
