[CentOS] arp corrupted
Hi, I've been trying to get a couple of routers up after h/w failure. The border router is an OpenBSD firewall running NAT between the Internet and a DMZ like subnet, and in that a Linux antivirus server is running NAT to the LAN. When the client does a DNS query it reaches to the f/w where dns is running and is returned into the A/V server but never hits the 0.254 interface. (Shown by running tcpdump on each interface.) (Internet) | OpenBSD Firewall NAT 192.168.1.254 | 192.168.1.253 eth0 Anti-Virus in DMZ 192.168.0.254 eth1 | 192.168.0.11 Client on LAN The routing table on the A/V server is: 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0 UG0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth0 Sitting on the A/V server one can reach the client without problem.

[CentOS] new freenx and nx RPMS released, manual action for x86_64
There are new RPMS released for nx and freenx in the CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 Extras repository. I normally do not announce that here, as those can easily be obtained on a normal yum upgrade/update, however in this case there are special actions required *_IF_* you have the x86_64 architecture for either CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 with the current versions of nx and freenx installed. The freenx and nx in the x86_64 tree were i386 versions prior to this release because the nomachine code would not compile on x86_64. This release fixes that and the new versions are x86_64 RPMS and no longer i386. This means that YUM will not update the currently installed i386 RPMS that are installed on x86_64 machines. = *_ATTENTION_* = If you are running nx and freenx on x86_64, to get these upgraded you *_MUST_*: 1. Manually download the x86_64 RPMS from these location: CentOS-5: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/freenx-0.7.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/nx-3.0.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm CentOS-4: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/x86_64/RPMS/freenx-0.7.1-1.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/x86_64/RPMS/nx-3.0.0-4.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm 2. Manually install these two RPMS with this command (as root from within the directory where you downloaded them): rpm -Uvh freenx-0.7.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm nx-3.0.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm (that command is all one line if it wraps on your e-mail) = I apologize for the manual update requirement, however yum will not update i386 packages with x86_64 ones. Again ... this is *_ONLY_* required if you have the prior released i386 versions of nx and freenx installed on the X86_64 arch of either CentOS-4.x or CentOS-5.x. If you are using the i386 architecture of CentOS-4.x or CentOS-5.x then you can just upgrade via yum normally.

[CentOS] CentOS upgrade in Xen domU?
I'm running into a slight problem trying to upgrade a CentOS 4.4 install to 5.0. The configuration: CentOS 4.4 is an old install that used to boot natively. That has since been backed up and restored to two seperate LVs (as the original install had two partitions). The host system now runs Debian, and I've been able to successfully boot the old CentOS 4.4 install under Xen (with a Debian domU kernel, but that's besides the point). I've decided to upgrade the CentOS domU to CentOS 5. After determining that the recommended upgrade path is to do so via the installer, I grabbed the CentOS installer kernel/ramdisk and configured my domU to boot from those. The installer comes up without a problem. Things get hairy when the installer takes a look at the 'disks'. I receive the following message: /dev/xvda currently has a loop partition layout. To use this disk for the installation of CentOS, it must be re-initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. It looks like the installer doesn't like the fact that there are no partitions (which is correct, as the 'disk' is actually a logical volume under lvm). As I'm trying to do an upgrade, and not blow away my existing setup, this isn't going to work. My question, therefore, is - how do I tell the CentOS 5 installer to ignore the fact that there are no partitions, and to simply do the install? As mentioned previously, the CentOS domU does boot perfectly fine, and given the prevalence of volume groups, logical volumes and virtual machines these days, it seems rather silly to have an installer absolutely rely on the existence of partitions before it'll let one do an upgrade or install. -- Mike Edwards| If this email address disappears, Unsolicited advertisments to| assume it was spammed to death.

Re: [CentOS] restrict network access
Salam, Squid actually Proxy will do the trick Regards, Umair Shakil ETD On 10/19/07, Arne Pelka [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have two pc using centos 4, these machines need only access to the (big, class b) local network. Because of security reasons the network access should be restricted to this local network - mainly the users of these pc should not be able to access webpages outside of the local network. My problem is, that I have no own centos repository and therefore these two pc need access to the centos mirrors to get updates. What would be the best way to restrict the network access to the local network and allow the access to some external addresses (a centos mirror and maybe some other servers/websites). I was thinking about iptables but I'm not very experienced in this questions - maybe there is an easier way. The configuration with iptables seems to be very complex, I was skimming through some tutorials and the man pages.
