Re: [CentOS-es] Problema Squid y Iptables
Una pequeña critica constructiva, sin animos de ofender. Lo que te puedo recomendar, es que la ultima regla de cada una de las cadenas de iptables sea drop o reject . Por otro lado tienes reglas de mas, como el caso de forward en squid, squid es un servicio local de tu GW por ende solo tienes que usar reglas en INPUT y OUTPUT. Otra recomendacion es que si tienes una regla doble para cada una de las redes elimines el origen como por ejemplo iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/25 -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/25 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT de esta manera se asume que como es una nueva peticion venga de la LAN otra cosa, como primera regla podria iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT esto evita volver a leer todas las reglas de filtrado, se supone que ya paso por algunas de las reglas y no debes volver a consultarlas 2008/7/1 Aland Laines [EMAIL PROTECTED]: bueno otra ves molestandolos, el problema que tengo es que tengo dos redes en el instituto ambas salen por un centos 5.1 con nat y squid transparente, el problema esta en que la red 192.168.1.0 navega de manera normal, pero la la red 192.168.2.0 navega pero no pueden loguearse en gmail ni en hotmail, cosa que si puede el primer rango, ya probe haciendo el flush de reglas e insertarlas de nuevo pero aun asi, lo raro es que estuvo todo funcionando bien con el centos 5 que tenia el squid 2.5 y ahora es el 2.6 , les pongo mis scripts de iptables y el de squid para que me den alguna pista o la manera de mejorar ambos, (en iptables ando medio perdido pero al menos pude hacer ese script con modelos de la web).

Re: [CentOS-es] Arrancar Samba
Rodrigo. Sigue estos pasos: 1. Verifica que la carpeta operador03 tenga full permisos (chmod 777 /home/operador03). 2. Edita /etc/samba/smb.conf y al final del archivo escribe las siguientes lineas. *[Operador03] path = /home/operador03 available = yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes * 3. Reinicia el servicio samba (/etc/init.d/smb restart 0 /sbin/service smb restart). Con la configuración del punto No. 2, cualquier usuario puede acceder a esa carpeta (esto lo haces para verificar que puedas acceder a ella), si te funciona le retiras ***public = yes *y colocas en su lugar ***valid users = operador03. * Rodrigo, con que usuario ingresas desde el windows para acceder a la carpeta /home/operador03 en el centos?. cuando colocas la directiva valid users debes ingresar con el usuario operador03 desde el windows.

How do you upgrade a NAS / SAN with say 5 / 10 TB worth of data? I haven't done anything that big, but I normally put the OS on a small mirrored pair of swappable drives so an upgrade consists of swapping those drives with a new set pre-installed in a spare chassis. That way you are only down for the time it takes to reboot and if anything goes wrong you can put the old set back. In any case you wouldn't be doing anything to the data partitions in an upgrade. ok, so in your setup the OS is totally separate from the data itself? So, I guess I need to rethink my setup. Since I have a 2U chassis, which can only take 6 drives, I guess I should maybe look into running the OS from a USB memory stick or something. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

RE: [CentOS] Spacewalk from Redhat
Maybe this will answer your question in regards to database choice (directly from the wiki FAQ): - Spacewalk Architecture Why do you use Oracle? Any plans for supporting other databases? Originally the Spacewalk code base was used as a hosted application and Oracle was a good choice for a hosted application in 2001. Over the years open source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL have improved tremendously in terms of stability, speed, and scalability. We have not had the resources allocated in the past to add support for an open source database but want to do so soon. What if I don't have Oracle?

[CentOS] self Certificate Authority, using /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA
Hello all, lately i am facing problems with Certification Authorities. I have used centos script /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA my own certificate authority. In next steps i am generating requests for certificates to services such as LDAP,NNRPD and lately signing requests with CA. My approach is to import my own CA into Windows Vista OS as root CA and trusted, to avoid messages in clients such as certificate could not be verified, certificate is not signed or cerficate authority cannot be verified. When i asked for help at openssl mailinglist i have recieved interesting answer : Just make sure your certificate is actually one son of your CA. It is right To make one CA cert with the 509 extensions set to CA X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:TRUE X509v3 Key Usage: Certificate Sign, CRL Sign Netscape Cert Type: SSL CA, S/MIME CA But it is a mistake to make the son as ANOTHER SELF SIGNED cert with those extensions not set as CA X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE Netscape Cert Type: SSL Client, SSL Server, S/MIME, Object Signing X509v3 Key Usage: Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key Encipherment Netscape Comment: I know of important companies doing this mistake. The second cert has to be one SIGNED by the first CA authority, not a selfsigned one with CA fields off of false. Said in other words: the second cert is the result or output of a CSR (certificate signing request) signed by the CA cert. Yes, that is true, so why this is not so in case of /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA . All my generated server certificates signed with own CA, using this script have : X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE Netscape Comment: OpenSSL Generated Certificate X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: CC:FC:A1:2D:DE:CD:D1:9E:34:F3:89:08:F9:D6:30:79:AF:EE:6B:94 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:C7:B9:B0:BC:5A:A2:73:18:02:F2:80:E2:8A:0C:BC:58:0C:87:14:95 Thanks in advance!

A pair of smaller disks, 36GB or 80GB are mirrored for the OS and software, then populate the rest with large disks in raid10 or raid5 for whatever task this server is intended for (database or bulk storage, or whatever). This strategy is probably most useful when you have several machines that are similar enough to swap drives and keep a spare chassis around that you can use as a backup and to build/test your next major update. I generally use smaller disks for the 1st pair, but if there is extra space you can use it for something that changes slowly enough that you would be able to rsync it over to the replacement before the swap. The main thing is to not include the OS drives in LVM or RAID0 with the others that you don't expect to swap. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

As someone pointed out, if the nature of your business does not lend itself to business transactions from other countries, then it should not negatively impact a potential legitimate customer from that range of IP from doing business with you because it would never happen. A friend of mine has an automotive repair shop (who's business would only come from area residents) and sells tires. He once received a call from someone from outside the country looking to purchase 4 tires (some of the higher end ones) and have them shipped. It was a stolen credit card and he pretty much knew that so never processed the order. An employee might not have been as alert or as diligent and might have processed it. This could have just as easily been via email. Point is in his case if his business does not lend itself to having customers or suppliers originating from a particular geographical area, then blocking anything from that geographical area would not impact him or a legitimate customer. No harm, no foul. It would protect his business from potential scam activity from outside his area (if it comes from within, then hopefully it wasn't someone going through a proxy so therefore hopefully someone within the reach of the long arm of the law). Someone pointed out that 100% of the traffic they receive from Africa are scams. That does not mean that 100% of all the traffic originating from Africa are scams. There is a difference. In the first instance it's 100% of the traffic that THEY receive whereas in the second case it's 100% of ALL traffic (including the millions of messages floating out there that the person who made that statement DOES NOT receive). However it lends great support to the argument. His business no doubt does not lend itself to having customers from that part of the world. Therefore he would never see legitimate traffic coming from there as legitimate individuals from there would have no reason to seek to do business from there. So the only traffic he sees (hence 100% of the traffic he sees) originating from there are scams because only the scammers from Africa would have reason to seek to contact him under the pretext of a business transaction. A business in Africa with no business ties to North America (hence would see no emails from customers or suppliers coming from North America) could possibly make the same statement, that 100% of the emails they receive from North America are scams. Because the honest North American has no valid reason to seek a business transaction with them much like the honest African has no reason to seek a business transaction with many companies in North America. So in that case it would be equally appropriate for that African company to block emails from North Amercian IPs. A company could have a contact page on their site for

Best to do that anyway. Some e-mail providers will only accept e-mail from known mail servers (AOL) and bounce if the IP of your sending server is not a static, known mailserver. What you want is 'SMARTHOST'.

Re: [CentOS] Configuring sendmail in a corporate environment
Hi. First of all check the connectivity from that server to the external domains like gmail,yahoo.com by doing telnet on port 25.if u get connected then then ur firewall is not blocking any outgoing port 25 connection. Then you have to check one more parmeter.If your domain on ur sendmail server is registered with the internet then only you can send a mail to any external domains.If you are not registered your ip wil get blacklisted in the spam database. Incase if your are registered if it is an direct mx then no need to set any relay server parameter in sendmail.Incase your MX is pointed to some third party then you have to tell the relay server ip in sendmail mc file.it wll be some thing like below dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl Replace smtp.your.provider with mx2.example.com,this is where your mx get pointed so that all of your outgoing mails will relayed via this server. dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `mx2.example.com')dnl Note: check the connectivity from that centos sendmail server to mx2.example.com first for port 25 connection.

I have had the misfortune many of times of being unable to transact business because people from the US in their ignorance think, that New Zealand, isn't that part of Australia, which is right next to Asia, can't do business with those Asians, they will rip me off. Now sometimes people from the US have asked me why people in the other parts of the world get a bit annoyed at the the only country that is free and true if the good old US of A attitude, and well here you go as an example. Lets ban all of Africa because someone from Nigeria is a scammer. Africa is a pretty big place, and you know what, I've met many South Africans that are real nice (even employed a few). I've always been someone who defends America when people run it down, but it is a two way street, don't treat a whole country as criminals because you don't know the difference between one side of a continent from another, its kind of insulting you know. And some day you might well need the rest of us, you never know. If a business only wants to do transaction with people in their own country, what is wrong with that? There is no international law that says they have to provide services or products to you because you live in a different country. Sometimes the lost revenue by not doing business outside your own country is better than having to deal with the possibility of fraud. Sometimes it is more of a hassle to deal with shipping, service and/or support issues with people from a different country and it's just not worth it. -- -matt Hello All, I've seen a lot of very good and valid comments come out of this discussion!
