[CentOS] weird mac address
Hi, I have an interesting problem. I have a centos server connected to our dmz zone. For security reasons our network department limited the number of mac addresses that can connect to the port on the switch. And since we are running vmware server on top on centos and a windows virtual machine inside of it, the number of mac addresses that can connect to this port is two or the switch blocks all traffic on this port. And now comes the problem. The port blocks almost immediately. After some investigation we found out, that we have actually 3 addresses communicating from this port. One that belongs to eth-0 and is ibm specific (the server is an IBM x3550 and every mac starts with the vendor code), one that belongs to the virtual machine and is Vmware specific and then we have another mac address that is IBM specific. I can't find where this traffic comes from. I traced the traffic with Wireshark and found, that this mac address creates a DHCP discover every 64 seconds. I first checked if this mac adress could be from the second network card, that is not connected with a cable nor is the device enabled, but it doesn't and the mystery mac is completely different from the network cards macs on the last 6 characters (the two on-board cards macs are different only on the last character). Then I tried searching the logs and /etc for any occurrence of this mac address, but I can't find anything. Then we tried to isolate the server, so I connected it directly to my laptop and run the trace again to see if this packet comes from outside and is then redirected back out on Vmware's virtual switch (since it's a broadcast packet, this could be somehow possible). But everything indicates that this packets are generated on this server. In the meantime we increased the number of mac addresses to 3, but after a while we got a packet from a fourth IBM mac address, that again doesn't belong anywhere. It was similar to the mystery mac (it was only different on the last two characters) and the switch blocked the port in the middle of the night. but this was a one-time occurrence for now. Does anyone have an idea what is happening or where i should look for the mystery mac address. thanx Janez ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have never automated my process, and I have as many versions as I want to blow disk space on. For the base OS, the script that is running right now is: # cat basesync.sh #!/bin/sh rsync -avu rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.4/os/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.4/os/i386 For updates: # cat updatesync.sh #!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.4/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.4/updates/i386 'Traditionally' I run the updates script whenever I see a Centos Annoucement of new rpms. I have a symlink of /repos/centos to /var/www/html so I then setup my /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to have: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://repo.htt-consult.com/centos/5.n/os/$basearch/ Where 5.n is the version I am running on that box. I also have a symlink of the current version to /repos/centos/5 so I can just use /centos/5/ for the current version. I have to update that symlink today from 5.3 to 5.4... Oh there is a similar line for [updates]. I recently deleted my repos for FC9 and rsynced the repos for FC11. There I have a bit more to exclude. On a fresh install I boot into 'linux askmethod' off CD 1, and provide the URL for the base repo to install off my local repo which is faster than flipping through 6 CDs (and more reliable).

But what you'll get is a separate command line login, not a GUI desktop or copy of what is on the console. If you want more than that, you might set up dial-in PPP so you can treat the connection as a network address with all the usual tools. I'm not sure if this is exactly right for Centos but it should be close: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_dialin_server.

Re: [CentOS] mismatch_cnt after 5.3 -> 5.4 upgrade
The /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check script is new for 5.4. Read through the mdadm list. You will find that small mismatch counts on RAID 1 is normal. I don't remember the exact reason but it has to do with aborted writes where the queue has already committed the one drive and not the other. Since it is in an unused area of the file system and mdadm can't tell when the aborted write happened it is just left alone. This is why it is common on swap partitions.

I'm now seeing: 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) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest I've installed package cleanup and tried the suggested combinations, except the --skip-broken option.

I am not sure what a VPS is, but assuming you only have SSH login enabled, then this will do it : grep -i root /etc/ssh/sshd_config #PermitRootLogin yes and restart sshd On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 4:05 PM, Victor Subervi wrote: > Hi; > Can someone please remind me how to update my VPS so that I have to > authenticate first as "user" before I can su to root? > TIA, > Victor > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food" ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Madwifi drivers afeter 2.6.18-128.
I have a atheros wiifi card on my Centos 5 that I use as a access point using hostapd. I noticed that after the upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-128 or above, the atheros driver comes with the kernel, ath5k, and it does´t let hostpad ou iwconfig set master mode on the card. Up to kernel 2.6.18-92 is workedd just fine using madwifi from rpmforge. Any ideas on that? Tks. __ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This is probably going to look like a troll, but I really do feel sorry for anyone who takes this kind of suggestion seriously. Whatever alternate SSH port number you select is NOT a secret, and you have a false impression of security if you think of it as a secret. Thinking that "My system is more secure because I run SSH on an alternate port" is just fooling yourself. If you're already taking appropriate precautions elsewhere, then changing the port number is really just a convenience/preference, to make your logs a little less noisy. Security-wise, it's window dressing, and it'll really only present a problem for the laziest attackers or bots. Your secret SSH port number is only a secret for about as long as it takes for a wide port scan to run. (And unless you've implemented IP-level rate-limiting on a per-remote-source-IP basis, that's a much shorter time than you think.) Moving the SSH port will help cut down on the rate at which dictionary bots (account/password guessers) will hit you up. But do those dictionary bots really pose a security threat to you? Maybe, if your SSH server isn't patched and up-to-date, or if you haven't audited/locked your local accounts, or if you don't enforce strong passwords or keys-only logins. If it's really that important that you cut the rate down, the iptables 'recent' module is a fantastic tool. Combined with some whitelisting, you can really cut the noise down, without inconveniencing yourself at all. If you find 'iptables' too intimidating, there are a few log-watching scripts that will dynamically block source IPs on-the-fly as the remote IPs roll into '/var/log/secure'. (I'm just going to apologize now to anybody I've offended, if it means anything--this is just one guy's opinion on the Internet, after all.) -Ryan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

GUI over a 28k dialup? ouch. there's no network connection at this
remote site? its going to be really really slow over dialup. I'm
talking minutes to paint a screen at 2-3kbyte/sec serial speeds (a
1280x1024 24bit desktop is 3.6 million bytes). use a really simple
theme on the desktop with no shaded borders, no backgroun graphics
('wallpaper'), etc.Sending a single full screen 1280x1024
photographic image could take a half hour or more.
FreeNX is probably your best bet. i've never set it up, so you'll need
to find someone elses HOWTO ...NX protocol runs over TCP/IP
networking, so you'll be setting up your modem (I still recommend a
serial modem) to answer a PPP dialinn TCP session, which you'll connect
to with a PPP dialup session much as we did for the internet in the days
before broadband.
linux can be completely managed via shell. NONE of the dozens of unix
servers I manage have any sort of console screen attached to them.
