you say 'servers': plural, which leads me to think you're doing
load balancing or otherwise have multiple servers which seems
like another layer to consider for your puzzle.

I would consider something like splunk (or more likely one of the
free alternatives) and a setup like:

(users) ---public interface --> [webserver] -private interface --\
-- for logs-->[splunk/log collector]<(developers)

and make sure there are acls/firewall rules in place to just allow
your developers access (http logs may well include some data that
you don't want to get out to the public, like if someone implements a
cgi as a get instead of a post but has sensitive data included)

are you sure that DNS is working correctly on the VM?   e.g. what's in
etc/resolv.conf?   are you using NAT or a bridged network device?   is
there anything weird in the output of netstat -nr?   are you using
anything to proxy traffic?  is there anything in iptables that could be
blocking traffic?

AFAIK/recall none of the ipv6 disabling in the /etc/sysconfig files has
ever quite worked the way it was advertised, I ended up writing a small
shell script to be executed on startup to handle the issue.  something like:
echo "disable ipv6 on physical interfaces"
for i in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth*
   do echo 1 > $i/disable_ipv6
done

but you may have better luck.

frankly, this blows my mind.   not long ago there was a huge kerfuffle
over the change to only allow (as someone defined it 'secure') certain
passwords, requiring numbers, special characters, some minimum length
and that -had to be done- because people didn't use proper passwords and
couldn't be trusted to just use what was appropriate/correct for their
environment.

now a completely reverse the position, plain text showing user names to
the world (which has always been considered to be poor security at best)
is just 'yeah, whatever you feel like doing.   go ahead.'

as others have stated, you need to use nating; you won't actually be
routing traffic (unless you've been allocated a routable network.  
which is possible, but pretty unlikely).   the script I use (stolen from
some google search, I'm sure.   I can't give proper attribution if pressed):

iptables --flush# Flush all the rules in filter and nat tables
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
# Delete all chains that are not in default filter and nat table
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
# Set up IP FORWARDing and Masquerading
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth2 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth3 -j ACCEPT
# Enables packet forwarding by kernel
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

in this case eth3 would be your local, non-routed network (e.g. 10.* or
192.168.*) and eth2 would be your regular network interface (like the
one plugged into your cable modem or DSL connection)
it'd likely need to be customized for your environment and running it
would likely destroy any firewall rules you have setup, fair warning.

+1.   also, it'd probably be good to state what you're trying to accomplish 
rather 
than if you can throw a technology at vague something or another.   I think 
you'd
find gpg's password input cumbersome for symmetric keys, the output too long in

I'd expect this directory to be mode 700.   also assuming that your id
is actually 'bluethundr' and not 'TimDunphy' as before from ssh -v
output.  if you do have user ID collision between the machines it could
add to the confusion.

perhaps with a local mount it goes ahead and gives you the directory
searching ability since you own the directory and it doesn't really make
sense for you not to be able to do otherwise, but it can't do the same
sort of logical override for NFS?   I'm mostly shooting in the dark, but
it's where I'd start.

it sounds to me that you're on a path to madness.
if you have a commercial product, you should have support
for that product and follow their guidance on what the
underlying OS is/should be/can be modified to make
your system run.  trying to cobble together support for
a closed source application from twisting and bending open
source things into shapes they weren't meant to hold
is just going to set you up for a spectacular failure when
the wrong OS things get updated, a vendor patch comes
out, or some other very difficult to trace problem arrives.

I don't think you can have utilities like ssh/scp take in passwd from an
echo on the command line.
I'd also suggest you change your password(s) based on the  line
above ... from your original email.

if you really want to do something like this, I'd suggest expect as the

if you are indeed asking how to get chrome for your centos instance,
you'll likely need to state which version (5/6/7) and what you've done
so far to try to make that happen.

Re: [CentOS] Cannot open: No space left on device

2015-09-11 Thread zep
did you (or someone else with root access) possibly delete a very large
file in /var that may still have been in use?it's very annoying but
if you do a rm on a large file under /var that is still open by some
process for writing, it won't actually clear the space.   you can
overcome that by just truncating the file instead of doing an rm (e.g.
either > /var/log/bigfile or cp /dev/null /var/log/bigfile).   the only
way I know to fix the problem once you're having it is to force the
process to close/reopen the file... either by killing & restarting or
getting the process to do it if it's got that designed in.   in practice
I've often found it much easier to reboot a machine to fix such a
problem condition.

I'm grasping at straws, admittedly, but does this happen after an extended 
amount of time?
i.e. you make the connection (possibly to use a ssh tunnel running over the 
session), leave 
it for some time, then return to trying to use the tunnel and go back to see 
the connection
error about the failure to write to write?   are you sure the remote server 
isn't doing
some sort of idle cleanup to kill off idle sessions?

I'd say that crontab doesn't actually prove that the job isn't being

if you change that to to something like

* * * * * touch /var/tmp/cron-test-file

does it create and keep changing the date on the file?

assuming nmap says there's a web server running, can you connect to
it?   how did you run nmap against it?   I'd think you would have to
create a dummy interface on the same network range to be able to
communicate to it.I suspect something like a service
processor/ilo/rilo/whatever HP calls their management interface.   
could you have powered the machine up first then waited a little while
before putting network cables in, esp in the one labeled 'mgmt'?

possibly dumb question, possibly unintentionally insulting your

you know that when he said "run # scsi-rescan" that meant 'type in

[CentOS] TRD like tool for linux?

2014-04-16 Thread zep
so I found that one of my VM hosts seems to have been compromised in
some way; I've shut it down, isolated it, found a few odd things like
gibberish comments and odd hostnames that I don't recognise pointed back
to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts.  I tried TRD and it seems mildly useful, but
has more of a windowsy feel for what it wants to be able to fix.   does
anyone know of something with more linux rootkit detection as a focus?  
I could just rebuild this machine, but I'd like to know for sure what
all/how bad this was broken so I can avoid it for next time.

thanks.

it might work reasonably for this particular case, but you should note
the limitations of such an approach.   specifically this would exclude both
/path/you/want/to/ignore/digitalplatform/varnish and
/path/you/want/to/find/digitalplatform/varnish

I'd also suggest using find / -name varnish,  dropping the second grep
and possibly using anchors with egrep to be very specific (e.g. | egrep

I don't recall a particular repo for centos; I did see and use a set of
instructions that did some fairly funky things like install a library
from fedora project and redo some library things (I think)... the script
seemed to cause quite a bit of gnashing of teeth and rending of garments
on the list, but it seems to work pretty well for me.I can dig
around and see if can locate it, if you want to go that far off the

do you not partition your drive first?  even if you're using the entire
device?   I'd expect to see this as /dev/sdf1  (or 2 or 3 or
whatever).   I'm not certain you -HAVE- to do such a thing.. and if I

with the definitions of 'an X server is the machine controlling your
display/showing you
the desktop' and client being 'some machine that wants to run processes
which then
show their graphical output to some other location', you want to run
'host +' (although
it should really be something more like 'xhost + hostname') on the
server and run
'export display=somemachine:somenumber(s)' on the client.  

or better yet, run ssh -X user@hostname and let ssh tunnel it for you.

[CentOS] my setup

2014-05-29 Thread zep
I'm not sure if this is helpful to anyone else and I can't
decide if it's mildly clever or just a stupid pet trick, really.
I recently decided to reinstall my work laptop with
centos. as part of the install I used an 8g
sandisk USB drive; it's roughly the size of a
wireless mouse receiver.   I put /boot, / and /usr on
the USB drive, set encrypted partitions for
swap, /home, /opt, /var and put them as well as
the boot loader the internal drive.  so now the USB
drive is quite literally acting like a 'key' for whole
laptop.  with no drive, the laptop comes up to an error
like 'No OS found' or something of the like.

anyway, not sure anyone else will find it useful,
helpful, interesting or anything else, but I felt like
sharing, I guess.

it's a fairly interesting problem (at least to me); I'm not wizard
enough to be able to redirect the connection, but you could
write a perl script that sits on the port and logs the remote
IP connecting, although that would break the service while
you're figuring out who's still connecting.the other thing I'd
consider (although my quick little experiment didn't quite work)
is turning on/adding to iptables for some logging.

you could also potentially do something with tcp wrappers
if the daemon has the libraries, or maybe some xinetd magic.

depending on your shell; are you sure you're referencing
/etc/profile at all?  e.g. are you using bash or bourne? 
the prompt looks pretty bash like, but assumptions and all.
are you sure there's not another umask entry either
in the user's homedir .file or in something like /etc/bashrc...

I have a fairly recent install of centos 6.5 and get:
[root@critter etc]# grep -i "umask" *
bashrc:# By default, we want umask to get set. This sets it for
non-login shell.
bashrc:   umask 002
bashrc:   umask 022
bashrc:umask 077
csh.cshrc:umask 002
csh.cshrc:umask 022
login.defs:UMASK   077
php.ini:; does not overwrite the process's umask.
profile:# By default, we want umask to get set. This sets it for login shell
profile:umask 002
profile:umask 022

and the php.ini warning is useful to keep in mind; you
can't add back perms with umask, it can only take
away.   so if you start off with reference to /etc/profile
that does umask 022, which then calls /etc/system-settings.profile
that calls umask 077, then get to the users .bashrc
file and try to do umask 002, you'll still be removing all
perms for group and other, the last call won't change anything.

possibly; although you can also screw things up pretty well if

but /etc/profile isn't the only thing that bash calls/uses (at least not by

what do you get if you do a 'egrep umask /etc/*' ?
and in the home dir, what do you get from egrep umask .??* ?

perhaps you should read links before you make assumptions.

Re: [CentOS] Package hwloc-1.5-2.el6_5.x86_64.rpm is not signed

2014-08-13 Thread zep
yeah, I noticed that too but didn't get as far as emailing the list.
if you do a yum update (or at least did one yesterday; it might have
changed overnight), yum will throw this warning just before it exits.

I'm not sure which repo I pulled it from, but I got it for c6.5

or on digging some more it looks as if it comes from 'updates', as near

Re: [CentOS] installing Desktop faster

which totally makes sense (stolen from wikipedia):
CD, DVD and Blu-ray writing speeds
Media 1X speed Capacity
 Mbit/s kB/s KiB/s
CD 1.229 153.6 150.0 0.734 80
DVD 11.080 1,385.0 1,352.5 4.7 57
Blu-ray Disc 36.000 4,500.0 4,394.5 25.0 93

so even with with 8x dvd, that's only [optimally] 88Mbit/s
vs around 6-700 (assuming collisions and generally unable to
push an ethernet network to it's theoretical max)  

I only mention it because it floored me when someone at
work brought up the other day that a splunk cluster got
faster performance by getting data by going to network
to get info from another cluster host's memory rather than
going to its own local disk for the same data

have you tried something like k3b?   plug the stick into
a machine and the create an iso rather than burn a
disk from the image.

I'd suggest the 'right' way is to dig into the USB drive
process, find out what all its doing to get the install
going the way you want/need and then convert it
into a pxe/net install.   then it should work for both
vms and physical hardware and you'll have
working knowledge to change/update it and
have more available images.

I'd second nagios, but I think to -really- test smtp, you'd need an
external email source, a specialized target user and cron on both sides
(at least that'd how I'd do it, just to be sure mail is really flowing
through).I also don't think cron for monitoring is a terribly good
idea.   and I think you also need to consider the implications of how
you send out your alerts based on what you monitor.e.g. oh no ..
email is down!   quick!  fetch me an admin; send an emai... d'oh!

have you done something weird with your kernel?   like trying to compile
a new kernel from source?
my system gives back...
  [root@nemesis ~]# uname -r
  2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64
so the stab093 looks a bit unusual to me.
what does your  cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
look like and what does yum check-update show as available?

it'd also be very helpful for posterity if you didn't toppost responses
to the messages.  these are archived in case someone has the same
problem and top posting can make things more difficult than they need to be.
