[CentOS] Running SSH on a different port
HI All, With my new firewall in place, it has opened my eyes to how much traffic gets blocked in a single day and also what are the most active rules. I get *a lot* of requests for port 22. How does one switch ssh ports? What is a good port to use? What ramifications does it have when I need to ssh in? Is it as simple as ssh u...@hots:port?

I suppose it's easier to ask a list than to actually look at man pages. man sshd_config man ssh if there's something you don't understand after reading the man pages and trying things out for yourself, the list will be more useful to you.

Re: [CentOS] Running SSH on a different port
Change the port statement in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart sshd Alternatively, you can make a port direction on your firewall, say, from TCP port 1234 to internal IP 22. Then, you don't need to change the server config. My 2 cents.

Re: [CentOS] Running SSH on a different port
As mentioned previously, requiring certificates, and not allowing interactive logins, is safest. But even if you decide to allow interactive logins, there are things you SHOULD do. Disable admin/root login. Update sshd so that only named users can login via SSH, all other users that might be on the system cannot login. Require SSH 2 as mentioned in another email. it probably helps too if the named user isn't a "common" name, like mark, etc, like I've seen in logs when I've perused them. Running firewall tools that block IP addresses with several failed attempts. And, of course, a strong password. I've never setup certificates for my private, personal, use to my box. But I've disabled root login, only 1 account can connect, ssh2 is required, I don't use a "common" name,. An I have a strong password.

[CentOS] kvm package difference - v36 via yum, v83 via DVD
Hi! As far as I can see there is no kvm in the base repository but the older version 36 in CentOS-Extras. Version 83 that belongs to 5.4 is only found on the install DVD and CD-Set. So it's different when installing kvm later with yum which results in kvm-36 than choosing 'Virtualization' on DVD install that installs kvm-83. It's also a difference between installing from network and DVD, even when the same Kickstart file is used when kvm is selected. What is the reason of the base-repo/media difference? cheers, Brian. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Running sshd on a non-standard port is highly useful ; I always have 2 seperate sshd instances. One on 22 and one on 222.

[CentOS] Upgrading CentOS 5.3 to 5.4 errors
Hello, I thought I'd wait a little while before upgrading to 5.4, but am running into the following errors: -> Finished Dependency Resolution lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.32-1 is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-54.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper-multipath >= 0.4.7-9 is needed by package mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-54.i386 (base) lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper-event is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper-multipath >= 0.4.7-9 is needed by package mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-54.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper-event is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.32-1 is needed by package lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386 (base) It would appear that these packages do exist, although earlier versions: # rpm -q device-mapper device-mapper-1.02.13-1.el5 Any thoughts would be appreaicated.

Did you follow the procedure in the 5.4 Release Notes (repeated in the release announcement)? 2. Perhaps the repo(s) you're using is/are broken. My DVD contains (among otherstuf) lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5.i386.rpm and device-mapper-1.02.13.1.el5.i386.rpm so that that particular dependency would be resolved easily enough. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

See, this is a problem I shouldn't have to know about special procedures in release notes to be able to do `yum update` at any arbitrary time what about users who aren't even on these lists? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
