[CentOS] vsftpd saving uploads twice
I have configured my vsftpd instances to use virtual users and map them to a system user. So all uploads should be written with owner and group of this system user (let's call it ftpsystemuser). But in the the last weeks/months it appears that uploads are written twice, on instance as it should (owner and group of the system user used to map the virtual user that did the upload), and the other instance as root. Lik this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine Leistungspr%FCfungen.doc -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpsystemuser ftpsystemuser 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine Leistungspr?fungen.doc As you can see both instance use different syntax for the file name in case of German umlauts. In vsftpds log only the correct file is mentioned. Can anybody tell me what is happening here? Is this something I can get rid off using certain configuration? Is it a security problem? Any hint or help is appreciated.

If it is true that the file is first written as root and then rewritten (instead of chowned) to another user then the above can be the result of an encoding conversion problem. The filename contain umlauts and the first filename is uploaded with a %encoded name. I may be wrong but I think this encoding should be only transitory and re-transcribed to the characters fitting there in with the system's character-set when the file is written to storage. The % encoding for that character is correct, maybe the filesystem cannot or need not handle %encoding, but nevertheless tries to convert to an existing character instead of letting the %FC live as is. And this fails. What's obvious, is that the file then gets written with an unknown character in it. So, some part of the character conversion either doesn't work correctly or cannot work correctly, for instance because a character-set is set incorrectly on one of the involved systems and clients. If you used ASCII filenames the problem wouldn't exist, of course. This could be a bug in vsftpd or in the OS or a combination or in your client or something else. So, again, you should go to the source, which is vsftpd.

[CentOS] Question about dhcpd.leases
Hi,
I'm running a DHCP server on my local network. I've noticed something
that puzzles me. Leases are written to /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases, but
only - so it seems to me - if the address is not fixed in any way in
dhcpd.conf.
Here's a few stanzas of my dhcpd.conf :
host babasse{
hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:ae:6b:8f;
fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
option host-name babasse;
}
host bernadette {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:a6:e7:1e;
fixed-address 192.168.1.2;
option host-name bernadette;
}
host raymonde {
hardware ethernet 00:20:ed:b8:e8:ec;
fixed-address 192.168.1.3;
option host-name raymonde;
}
host lifebook {
hardware ethernet 00:0b:5d:46:f2:10;
fixed-address 192.168.1.5;
option host-name lifebook;
}
How comes these machines never appear in dhcpd.leases ? Do the
respective leases only find their way into /var/log/messages ?

I'd expect because the addresses are hard coded, there is no reason to keep track of them. the leases file from what I understand is used to determine which IPs are in use by what so dhcpd can opt to hand out IPs that are not in use. On top of that dhcpd pings the unused IPs to make sure it doesn't hand out IPs that may of been taken without authorization. For hard coded addresses the dhcp response will be the same every time, and if you have duplicate MAC addresses on your layer 2 network you have bigger things to worry about. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[u...@dhost temp]$ mkfifo pipe [u...@dhost temp]$ while true ; do ` pipe` ; done Now, in another xterm: [u...@dhost temp]$ echo date pipe [u...@dhost temp]$ echo 'ls -l' pipe You can 'echo' commands to the pipe in multiple windows; the while loop will only read and execute one command at a time off the pipe. You can see where this is going - now your multiple servers just ssh those echo commands to the destination host and the corresponding commands are executed. I'll leave it to you to make it suitably robust if you go this way; you'll need to add some error handling, possibly signal handling, etc. but that's just standard shell scripting. Best, --- Les Bell Thank you all very much! This is the exact approach I am trying out now as this is such a small scale quick need, once I roll out Torque or something for my earlier problem, I could apply it here as well. The command I execute is always the same shell script with a unique parameter passed into it, I'll look into tuning this up so it accepts the single word passed in via ssh, then executes the bash script with this as $1. Two things to keep in mind here. 1) The 'echo' command above will block until something on the other side reads the input. This means that when you are trying to queue a command, the session will simply sit there until the server is ready to process it. This may be a problem if there is a firewall or something in the middle that kills inactive connections. 2) In the above example, echo exit pipe will cause the terminal session reading the pipe to close. It would be safer to run the command in a subshell: $ while true; do (` pipe`); done -- Bowie ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] NAT/DHCP/DNS/etc Settings from a Windows 2003 Server
Hello all. I'm in the process of making a small server farm based mostly on Windows Server 2003. For simplicity's sake, the only non-2003 server will be a CentOS 5.4 server running only vsftpd, httpd, and mysqld. My plan is to have this server in a 2003 Server's network receiving a DHCP address from the Domain Controller. Currently, I have two other (non-DC) servers running with no issues on the domain. NAT works as it should, and internet access is just fine. The CentOS box on the same network will not receive an IP address (only through static configuration, the non-DC 2003 boxes have no problem receiving an IP and DNS settings with auto settings) or get online. Even when defining a static IP on the CentOS box, there is no Internet access, unlike to the other clients. My question is, what could be restricting the DHCP and DNS information to the CentOS host, and why can't I access the internet/NAT forward a web server? To summarize, I have four machines involved, all located on the same network: - Machine 1 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain Controller, DHCP server, DNS server, NAT server. - Machine 2 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain member, Exchange server. - Receives DHCP and DNS information with automatic network settings. - Has internet access through NAT. - NAT forwards ports to this host. - Machine 3 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain member, Sharepoint Server. - Receives DHCP and DNS information with automatic network settings. - Has internet access through NAT. - NAT forwards ports to this host. - *Machine 4* - CentOS 5.4 - On same network as other clients, hosts web server. - Does *NOT *receive DHCP address or DNS information. - Has *no *internet access - NAT does *NOT *forward correctly. I am looking for a solution to get the CentOS server on the network like the other clients. Any assistance on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [CentOS] No ulimit for user
OK, I just found this http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13144 Which says that you cannot use unlimited for nofile It says to do this *softnofile 63536 *hardnofile 63536 or more realistically to do this : *softnofile 8192 *hardnofile 63536 But I still cannot find what is the difference between the hard and soft limit Also, once this file has been changed, does the system need to be rebooted for it to take affect? Or does it automatically take affect for any new processes? So just restart any service I want to take advantage of it? thanks, -Alan -- “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

Hi,
I'm running a DHCP server on my local network. I've noticed something
that puzzles me. Leases are written to /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases, but
only - so it seems to me - if the address is not fixed in any way in
dhcpd.conf.
Here's a few stanzas of my dhcpd.conf :
host babasse{
hardware ethernet 00:0d:61:ae:6b:8f;
fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
option host-name babasse;
}
host bernadette {

}
host lifebook {
hardware ethernet 00:0b:5d:46:f2:10;
fixed-address 192.168.1.5;

How comes these machines never appear in dhcpd.leases ? Do the
respective leases only find their way into /var/log/messages ?
fixed-addresses are permanently reserved. The leases file tracks the
ones from the pool that are temporarily reserved until they expire.
