centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm
by Johnny Hughes 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

If you block port 81 outbound, centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm will cause your yum to stop working for CentOS-4. We were serving mirrorlists on port 81 for our new update system, but since this caused some users problems, we are now serving mirrorlists on both port 80 and 81. centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm has released to change the default configuration to port 80 for mirrorlist retrieval. If your yum is not working you can get centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/centos-yumconf-4-4.5.no… This is a noarch RPM and should work on any centos-4 version. You can install it after download with this command: rpm -Uvh centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm

READ! [CentOS] mirrorlist.centos.org port 81? (Yumconf changes)
by Maciej Żenczykowski 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

> Why not - they are the same old mirrors - all that happens is that yum > gets a lost of local up to date mirrors for the release/repo/arch from the > mirrorlist server on port 81 - chosen solely so that we can run it on the > same server > as normal apache on port 80. > > If you have fastestmirror plugin enabld yum will then test the mirrors and > use the fastest local connection. > > The version of yumex that we have at dev.centos.org alsouses the same > mirrorlist system. Note that using a non-standard port (81) here is an error - many restrictive firewalls (or proxies) won't allow such a connection - for example at my Mom's work (were I'm now) and my Dad's. Even though it's an outgoing connection. Setup apache virtual hosting, add a new dns name, and use apache's proxy module to proxy mirrorlister:80 to localhost:81 otherwise this will break for a lot of people. Cheers, MaZe.

slightly OT: high availability remote managerment tools
by lists 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

This is completely OFF TOPIC from centos and slightly vague, so please reply to me direct. I just want to pick everyone's brains here for their experience with high availability remote management (servers, networks, etc). Can anyone recommend any good high availability remote managerment tools. I mean something more than ssh, nagios, etc. Anything from appliances to monitoring, remote access, be it software or hardware. Thanks in advance. Dustin

windows XP pro can not access samba share folder.
by lnthai2002＠aim.com 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hi, I know that this question has been asked many times but i can't find the correct solution from anywhere. I have 4 computer on the LAN connected as follow. comp1(WinXP)---------------------------------> hub1---->router comp2(winXP)---------------------------------> hub1---->router comp3(WinXP)wireless ---> access point----> hub1--->router comp4(CentOS 4.2)-------------------------------------->router I have samba installed on CentOS 4.2 with SELinux enable, everything is up 2 dated. I use swat to make a share folder. testparm doesn't show anything suspicious. Connecting to samba share folder from the same CentOS machine is possible. However, my Windows XP machines can only see my linux machine through network neigbourhood but they can not access it. Here is my smb.conf --------------------------------------------------------------- # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2006/02/16 14:49:12 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MSHOME ;note that encrypt passwd = yes and smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd by default [fat32Share] comment = Shared files from Darkportal path = /mnt/fat32/share valid users = user read only = No guest ok = Yes [nimbus] comment = Samsung printer, the white one on Darkportal path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Do i have to open anyport to allow windows machines access samba shares? Does this have anything to do with SELinux? Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks in advance Thai ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.

ssh attack
by John Merritt 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Hi, I get ssh connect attempts all the time, to my servers at home and at work. I've noticed lately they come from a certain ip address, hitting every 3 or 4 seconds, trying 50 or 100 different user names and passwords. And I get these sweeps from 2 or 3 ip addresses a day. I guess this is an automated attempt to guess a user/pass and break into a system. I tried to secure ssh better by putting in an AllowUsers line in sshd_config. Then I thought tcp wrappers and just putting in my own addresses in /etc/hosts.allow would be even better, until I found out that all mail to my email server would be rejected. I have 2 questions. One, is there anything you can do to stop these attempts, other than not running ssh? And two, do those ssh attempts every 3 or 4 seconds slow down a box, or put any strain on it? John
