OT: firewalls
by donavan nelson 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

What is everyone using for a firewall? I'm currently using www.astaro.com but their recent releases have soured me on ASL as a practical solution on my hardware (1.2MHz Athlon, 30G, and 256M). I only have 4 computers going through the firewall wall but it's consistently at 50% cpu load. There is very little network traffic (<10k bits per second on the wan connection, < 40k bits per second between other internal lans (I have 4 internal lans and a wan)) Basically I'm using it for: packet filtering, masq, port forwarding, IDS, dns proxy (only if my internal DNS servers have failed) smtp proxy smtp virus protection smtp spam protection http proxy (caching) http virus protection http url monitoring (via Cobain) the firewall also monitors a bunch of statistics, etc. I'm looking for something that is installed, configured and runs. I don't want to be tweaking this parameter of postfix, that parameter of the smtp virus protection, etc. I want something that just works that I don't need to play with except for new rules, etc. I'll pay a reasonable price for a package that I can test to verify suitable performance (I'm not a commercial operation, this is just for my toys). At the moment, I'm looking at Gibraltar. But the community seems small. I haven't downloaded it yet but I'm considering it an option for this round of firewall evaluation. Any other suggestions for inclusion? BTW, anything like smoothwall that allows wide open outbound connections and doesn't support a box with 5 network cards off the CD is not a viable candidate. Thanks much all, .dn

Lance, > We need to change the instructions for becoming a > mirror as it wont be > possible to populate their mirror before telling us > about it , we will > need to request an access ip address first. I updated the "notes for mirrors" page. I added a new line, about 5 paragraphs down from the top. I do not fully understand what you wrote, so I followed your wording as closely as I could. Please take a look, and let me know if my wording needs clarification. Rick

Re: mirror change

Greg, Does this change effect me? My (default) yum.cong files point to mirror.centos.org. Do I need to point at different mirrors? At about midnight Sunday night your time, I was experimenting with migrating RedHat 9 to CentOS-3. When I tried yum check-update, I got an error message that http://mirror.centos.org could not be found. BTW, twice I tried to send this message to caos-mirror(a)casosity.org like you asked, and twice it came back immediately as undeliverable. (I copied and pasted the address.) Rick

mirror.caosity.org change...
by Greg Kurtzer 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

sorry for the massive cross-post, but I wanted to make sure that I get everyone that needs to know this. Mirror.caosity.org is having problems keeping up with all of the mirrors. Rsync is a memory hog when dealing with large repositories, and mirror just can't handle it. I am migrating mirror.caosity.org to a new host which should be able to handle the load better. Also, I will be limiting the IP's that can rsync directly to mirror. Only the public mirrors will be allowed to connect directly to mirror.caosity.org via rsync. Expect this migration to happen in the next several days, and please let me and the caos-mirror list know if there are any problems. Also, comments and concerns should be sent to caos-mirror(a)casosity.org. Thanks. Greg -- Greg M. Kurtzer http://runlevelzero.net/ http://caosity.org/ http://warewulf-cluster.org/

I restarted again the rebuild but 3w-xxxx: scsi2: AEN: INFO: Rebuild started: Unit #0. 3w-xxxx: scsi2: Unit #0: Command (f7545c00) timed out, resetting card.

Re: Alternative architecture CentOS 3 builds

Hey Nels, I recently (within the last couple of days) updated the FAQ with fresh, up-to-date information. What achitectures are supported? cAos x86 currently and x86_64 (AMD64) soon CentOS-2 x86 only (sorry) CentOS-3 x86 currently and x86_64 (AMD64) soon Get it from the source here: http://caosity.org/index.php?option=faq&task=viewfaq&artid=3&Itemid=5 I was told that AMD64 would be supported "soon". We could pin Greg down if you need a more specific answer. Rick --- centos-request(a)caosity.org wrote: > CentOS appears to only be available for the i386 > architecture.

Alternative architecture CentOS 3 builds?
by Nels Lindquist 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Hi there. Although RHEL 3 is available for several different architectures, CentOS appears to only be available for the i386 architecture. Are alternative architecture rebuilds outside the scope of the CentOS project, or is there some other specific reason for that? If one wanted to rebuild CentOS for, let's say the AMD64 architecture, would that be a difficult process, or is it just something that nobody's yet done? I'm currently buying an AMD64 system and I'm curious. ---- Nels Lindquist <*> Information Systems Manager Morningstar Air Express Inc.
