Re: [CentOS] server is always getting hacked
Open up sshd port only setup iptables to only accept port 80 and 22 No FTP No other ports are allowed according to IP Tables. Where is the box? Am I correct that it runs a website? What website software are you running? Who needs to log in with SSH? And where from? Are the crackers logging in with SSH? Or are they getting in via some kind of web back door? Maybe because of the website software? Have you checked with the software to see if there are known holes? Are you running the latest version? If only certain people need SSH access and that is how the crackers are getting in, then you could set up your firewall to only accept SSH connections from certain IPs. Assuming those who need to get in have a fixed IP. You could also set up SSH to only accept connections via keys, and then install the keys on the server for those who need to get in. Lots of questions you need to be asking. What you can also consider is something I do on my box - run tcpdump continuously, with the options to create round-robin log files. You just have to make sure you'll have enough space for that. This can give you TCPIP logs going back X amount of time, so that you can do forensics with something like Wireshark to see how people are getting in. -- “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] Set hostname via DHCP ?
Hi.
I just setup one of my machines as a DHCP server. I'd like it to handle
the hostnames of clients. Don't know if this is an orthodox thing to do
(feel free to add your comments :oD). Here's the server's relevant lines
of dhcpd.conf:
--8---
...
# Envoyer les noms d'hôtes aux clients
use-host-decl-names on;
# Adresses statiques
host babasse {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:ae:6b:8f;
fixed-address 192.168.1.249;
}
--8---
Now the question is: how should the configuration look like on the
client side, so the hostname gets effetively fetched from the DHCP
server? During the initial install, I assigned hostnames manually to
every machine.

This config is just about identical to mine.
Now the question is: how should the configuration look like on the
client side, so the hostname gets effetively fetched from the DHCP
server? During the initial install, I assigned hostnames manually to
every machine.
Unless you have modified the DHCP client config, the machine SHOULD get
the hostname by default. You can verify this by checking the contents
of /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases to see the data that the
client has gotten from the server.
Since I let my client machines get all this from DHCP during
installation, I'm not completely sure what you need to do to make the
manually-assigned hostname go away. I THINK that if you comment out the
line for the host's IP address in /etc/hosts the system will use the
hostname from DHCP, but I haven't exercised that stuff in years.

You should install an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as they are great tools to assist you in how the crackers are gaining access into your system. We see load averages of 500+ and see people from all over the world logging into our server (used last). If I understood you correctly, you're saying that running the last command shows logins worldwide that are not yours? Immediately suspend / disable / lockdown the accounts they're logging into if they're not important (say a user thats only used for a daemon). If I were you I would immediately set up keys for your ssh, disabling root ssh login (you can gain root via su - or sudo once you login), and only enable protocol 2 for ssh. Install an iptables frontend like APF to help you ban malicious IP addresses. Are you running the latest version of CentOS?

I am not sure what else measures I can take.

Without FrontPage generating such messy html, i think you will find hand editing html/xhtml/xml to be not so difficult. O'Reilly's Head First HTML css and xhtml is a good book. http://www.headfirstlabs.com/books/hfhtml/ eclipse and some plugins as documened here: http://web-design.lovetoknow.com/Eclipse_HTML_Editor In addition to the bad HTML code produced by FrontPage, the Server Extensions for Linux were EOL a long time ago.

[CentOS] External USB Drive partitioning and formatting
Hi, I just bought a Seagate 1TB USB drive thinking that I could create a few partitions in it, format in ext3 fs, then configure bacula to setup a backup server in my CentOS box and backup my windows and mac clients. I have plugged the drive and mounted in /mnt/usbdrive and is seen as /dev/sdb1 by the OS. The output of df command is: [r...@production ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 74859680 16053996 55002960 23% / /dev/sda1 101086 27066 68801 29% /boot none480176 0480176 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb1976760032 97808 976662224 1% /mnt/usbdrive I am thinking of having three partitions instead of just one whole big 1 TB thing, and then format all three partitions in ext3. I tried doing fdisk, but cylinders are always confusing for me. Is there any GUI tool that could help me achieve this as I am newbie to Linux and not very confident with commands. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] External USB Drive partitioning and formatting
/dev/sdb1 976760032 97808 976662224 1% /mnt/usbdrive I am thinking of having three partitions instead of just one whole big 1 TB thing, and then format all three partitions in ext3. I tried doing fdisk, but cylinders are always confusing for me. Is there any GUI tool that could help me achieve this as I am newbie to Linux and not very confident with commands. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Don't be afraid of fdisk, it's really an easy tool to use. From your output above it's quite apparent that your USB drive is located at /dev/sdb. First unmount your drive (umount /dev/sdb1) and then run this command as root: fdisk /dev/sdb Then hit d to blow away that big vfat partition. Then you hit n to create a new partition. You don't have to know anything about cylinders, as fdisk will allow you to specify your partition sizes in megabytes. Create your three partitions, hit the 'w' key to write out the new partition table and you're almost done. Once the partition table is written you can format your shares like this: mkfs -text3 /dev/sdb1 mkfs -text3 /dev/sdb2 mkfs -text3 /dev/sdb3 Easy. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] External USB Drive partitioning, formatting and configuring Bacula server
Thanks for your help Sean, did all the steps you mentioned. One thing I don't understand, when partitions are created, why does Linux number it awkwardly? For example, I created 1 Primary partition of 10% disk, then created 1 Extended partition of 90% disk. Inside that extended partition, I created 3 logical partitions 33% each. It went numbering sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7. Where's the hell 2,3 and 4? Anyways, I've got my partitions now and formatted them so, it's all good. Thanks for your help with this. Next, as I went through Bacula's pages, I found that they mostly use tape drives for backupugh...how can I use my usb partitions with Bacula? Any ideas? Thanks again!
