 Cool - just wasn't sure if it needed something more :)



I have made some minor addition and changes to the sudo section.  Hope
it is still looking good.

Hi,

it is still looking good to me. Just two little things :
- Do we consider people who reach this page know at least how to edit a 
file with vi? I ask this because I mentionned how to save the sudoers 
file but not how to edit it; since it is a sudo howto and not a vi 
howto, maybe this part could be changed (something like : if you don't 
know how to use vi, follow this link, with a link to a vi howto).
- About the NOPASSWD version of the quick and dirty setup : I'm not 
against it if there is a big fat warning sign attached.

 I am against it. Those who do not need the warning sign already know 
the message we try to send via this page and those who do need the 
warning sign would better avoid NOPASSWD.

Well, there is already a warning, just that it's not in HUGE red bold font:

sudo will ask for a password. This password is bob's password, and not 
root's password, so be careful when you give rights to a user with sudo.


Maybe we could make the wording a little stronger, bold or something 
just in case anyone skips over it without the significance sinking in!

It doesn't need to be vi because sudo uses $EDITOR (which defaults to
vim in CentOS5) shell variable to run Your Beloved Editor (tm) :^)

I've just mentioned it in the article.

[CentOS-docs] Guide to Using KVM

2008-04-20 Thread Akemi Yagi
Hi all,

Our CentOS Forum contributor, scottro, has written a guide to using
KVM with CentOS-5.1 and made it available at:

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/centoskvm.html

He is offering it for us to put on the CentOS wiki.  I would be happy
to wikify it and welcome any comments and suggestions.  The contents
will be updated as he adds more to his writing.

Thanks Akemi. I register an expression of interest and think it would be

Maybe we should just double check scottro understands and agrees with

Just a thought, but your window manager may be intercepting the

[CentOS] Logrotate problem after start of DST

2008-04-20 Thread Bernd Bartmann
Hi,

since the start of the daylight savings time my server has a problem
with the log files. Sunday night the log files get rotated correctly,
i.e. /var/log/messages gets /var/log.messages.1, /var/log/messages.1
get /var/log/messages.2, ... The problem now is that after log
rotation new messages do no go to /var/log/messages, but to the
rotated file. As DST started 3 weeks, the latest log entries now go to
/var/log/messages.3. This happens to all other log files too. Even
after rebooting the server new log entries go to /var/log/messages.3
instead of /var/log/messages.

Any ideas why this happens and how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Bernd.

 Beware, some network cards may protest having the mac address changed,

 Jim,
 I appreciate the confirmation, that was the method I was going to use. I
 am only unsure about what *could* happen with the HWADDR in there, can
 eth{n} now maybe bind to a different nic under some circumstance?

 How can I always force the nic in question to use this script?

 Thank you!

  CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos



Here is an outline of what I do to lock-down interfaces -- which relies
mainly on using a fairly new feature udev:

   /etc/modprobe.conf:  make sure the lines --

  alias eth? driver

   are in the correct order, e.g.:

  alias eth0 e1000
  alias eth1 e1000
  alias eth2 tg3

/etc/udev/rules.d/:  create network rules file (if needed) and
 add lines that associate a given NIC to its eth? interface.
 Use udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/net/eth? to get various
 features or attributes to find the NIC that you want to call
 ethX.  [Note: this seems to change from release to
 release, so this is a little general.]  You might want to put
 lines like:

   Kernel==eth?  ID==:03:02.0 Name=eth0
   Kernel==eth?  ID==:03:02.1 Name=eth1

  or

Kernel==eth?  Sys{vendor}==0x8086 Sys{device}==0x032a Name=eth0
Kernel==eth?  Sys{vendor}==0x8086 Sys{device}==0x1079 Name=eth1

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX:

 As other have suggested, now put MACADDR= into these files with the
 desired MAC address that you want the interface to be set to and
 delete the HWADDR.

Now, reboot, test and repeat as needed:-):-) ...

I hope that helps and is useful ...

  -rak-

Note:  I just checked a Fedora 8 box and some of the above has
changed -- udev is the way to go, but be advised that this feature
appears to be evolving and changing -- hopefully for the better!

What's a good way to deal with this?



The Wiki has an article here on just this:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/SecuringSSH

I've been experimenting with the iptables filtering with the recent module, 
but I have not yet had success.  I do have my default policy to reject with 
icmp and I've read the note that the default should be DROP.  Is this the 
problem?




I use the following iptables rules to halt the hammering:


/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent
--update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent
--set


note wrapping of commands.

  Don't know if it was related, but I had a similar problem at about the same
 time, syslog was running but no messages.  With nothing in the logs it's
 tough to troubleshoot!

  After perusing the audit logs (not controlled by syslogd) I found where it
 was complaining about the security context on /etc/services.   It appeared
 that the context had been munged right around the DST change, so I used
 'restorecon -v /etc/services'  to fix it.  Restarted syslog afterwards and
 everything seems fine.

  Hope your's is that easy to fix!

Thanks! Indeed it seems to be SElinux related. In the meantime I did:

touch /.autorelabel
reboot

After the reboot everything is working normally again.

Best regards,
Bernd.

Re: [CentOS] What is wrong with yum?

Hello,

in my CentOS-Base.repo file there is a line
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch
and yum update said 'nothing to do'. Then I change this line to
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/updates/i386 and yum
updates firefox, squid, sos and so on. That happens on two of my
computers, reproducible.

Does yum sometimes forget it's release version?



Changing to 5.1 instead of 5 (which is the default) will result in not 
getting updates when we move to 5.2.


The fact that is says nothing to do can be caused by cached metadata 
(and shifting from $releasever to 5.1 will cause that to download over 
again).


yum clean metadata

 then

yum upgrade

might be better to try.

Also PLEASE REMEMBER ... $releasever is not 5.1 or 5.2 .. it is 5.

How does chkconfig determine what number to give to a link when you turn a

Hi In the start up scripts you will see this line
# chkconfig: 2345 10 90

This particular example (network) strats by default in 2345 S10 K90
