[CentOS-es] Centos 6, modo text consola

2011-11-04 Thread Raul Arboleda
Hola alguno me puede dar una luz he buscado en la red en muchas paginas y
siempre encuentro lo mismo pero no me funciona, el cambio de mode text en
pantallas consola.

 

Necesito cambiar el modo de ver las pantallas consola, mejor dicho que no me
las muestre en alta resolución sino en 80x25, he cambiado el grub como lo
dicen en los blog poniendo vga=791, 788, ask, etc pero no consigo que las
pantallas tipo consola queden en modo 80x25, alguno de ustedes me puede
ayudar, además como cambio que la pantalla grafica quede en alt+f7 como era
antes y no en la pantalla uno como es ahora.

 

Feliz dia

It is best if you ask on EPEL(/Fedora) since you installed them from 
there. There is Maintainers name and e-mail if you need more specific 
help, but the best solution is to file a bug against their bugtracker

I've an idea, compile fail2ban 0.8.4 to see where is the problem : From

Yeah... I was thinking that was the problem. I'm running Fail2Ban and I 
think I got it from EPEL, on CentOS 6 without problems.

Looks like you need to kill off some of your jail confs and then turn 
them on and tune them one by one. Fail2Ban relies on logging and even 
certain log levels being run from the services you are checking. I found 
the default Fail2Ban install worked very well on a default 
webserver/mailserver install. There were a number of things that I 
needed to do to turn on other checks. And I have customized even 
further. For instance, I subscribe to Spamhaus. I use the spamhaus 
maillog entries to look for repeated attempts to one or more domains and 
after so many, block the offender at the firewall. Saves a lot of server 
load and 'seems' to make these folks give up on my systems to some extent.

So, turn off most of the event triggers and then turn them back on one 
at a time. Then edit the rules as needed or set log levels on the 
service being checked to give the output needed to work with the rule.

[CentOS] CentOS 6 updating policy

2011-11-04 Thread David McGiven
I am migrating from debian to RHEL (CentOS) and I am wondering how the
CentOS 6 updating system works.


Suppose I install CentOS 6.1 now. Suppose in 8 months CentOS 6.2 is
released.


Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I
will have an updated 6.1 ?


What if I have been issuing yum update very day just to be sure there are
no packages with urgent security bugs ? I am having a very updated 6.1 or
an almost 6.2 ? Or are they the same thing ? I think that during this time
I should be using Continous Release repository, right ?


Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and
libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences
between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ?


I couldn’t find all of these question properly answered in the FAQs


Thanks in advance.

yum update will pull in the new version and install it and update your 
release from 6.1 to 6.2. (if there were a 6.1... it might get skipped 
and 6.0 will update to 6.2)


 Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I

It will be 6.2

Yes, CR is optional but to me important.


 Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and
 libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences
 between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ?
Security issues are almost always backported. Almost always on a CentOS 
major release, anything installed such as website scripts will work 
throughout the entire 7 year cycle of minor releases. This is the main 
beauty of CentOS, and also the main drawback. Sometimes clients want 
something newer... for instance PHP 5.3. It was not available via 
upstream until the release of 6 and the last minor release of 5 
(although that was to me a sad attempt). So, there will be some gripes 
at times, but since you haven't broken their stuff during the major 
release cycle... what is better? And, you can always customize a system, 
but often times reliability will suffer somewhere along the line.


 I couldn’t find all of these question properly answered in the FAQs
Basically it is just really easy and happens during yum update. Minor 
releases are times when the largest changes are made, but again, rarely 
do they actually break anything. I think I still have enough fingers on 
my hands to count the issues over the last 15 or so years when something 
client side broke in a server environment.

Non-upstream repositories... not so much. But in fairness, some of these 
repositories provide packages that make core changes, like an entirely 
new conf file and one must go fix these. Upstream seems to operate under 
never forcing a replacement conf file... In other words, the service 
will generally continue to operate without admin intervention.

 Thanks in advance.

Vreme: 11/04/2011 02:24 PM, David McGiven piše:
 I am migrating from debian to RHEL (CentOS) and I am wondering how the
 CentOS 6 updating system works.

Welcome.

In first part I will explain normal process, without CR repository 
(which changes things).



 Suppose I install CentOS 6.1 now. Suppose in 8 months CentOS 6.2 is
 released.


Yum update is continuous process. So far (or at present) only way is 
that you will be upgraded to latest minor point-release (.1, .2,...).


 Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I
 will have an updated 6.1 ?


In your example, you would have 6.2 when yum update is finished. 
Sometimes yum upgrade is recommended, but only if you are advised in 
Release Notes for given point release.


 What if I have been issuing yum update very day just to be sure there are
 no packages with urgent security bugs ? I am having a very updated 6.1 or
 an almost 6.2 ? Or are they the same thing ? I think that during this time
 I should be using Continous Release repository, right ?


There are normal updates against every point release, like updates 
against 6.0 until 6.1 is released, then updates until 6.2, etc. So just 
very updated 6.1 in your example.

Point releases are mostly used to bring new kernel/hardware support 
(drivers), new versions of core packages (rarely), or new technologies. 
Updates between point releases will only (in most cases) contain bugfixes.


 Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and
 libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences
 between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ?


Upstream changes (mostly) versions of packages only if there is 
compelling reason to do so. Whole point is to have unchanged system that 
will behave the same as previous point releases. Of course, there are 
deviations from this policy, but as small and as rare as possible.

So short answer is backported bugfixes (even in kernel) and as small 
changes as possible, unless gains are overwhelming and do not brake 
anything.

I forgot CR explanation. CR repository is means to update gradually to 
next point release because building upstream's (RH) packages with binary 
compatibility became very difficult. So to avoid holding back numerous 
easy to build packages that enhance and stabilize system, not to 
mention security fixes, CentOS dev's adopted CR repository.

Note that RHEL does not have CR repo, it is specific to it's clones 
(CentOS, SL).

There is discussion in process, to create dual options,
1. with CR repo enabled by default, and
2. Separate frozen poin releases (6.0 with all updates UNTIL 6.1 was 
released, etc.)

 I am migrating from debian to RHEL (CentOS) and I am wondering how the
 CentOS 6 updating system works.
 
 Suppose I install CentOS 6.1 now. Suppose in 8 months CentOS 6.2 is
 released.
 
 Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I
 will have an updated 6.1 ?

It would be updated to 6.2.

 What if I have been issuing yum update very day just to be sure there are
 no packages with urgent security bugs ? I am having a very updated 6.1 or
 an almost 6.2 ? Or are they the same thing?

AFAIK, they would be the same thing. I wouldn't know of any major difference 
between a very updated 6.1 and almost 6.2.

But I may be wrong here, I'm not a CentOS developer. :-)

 I think that during this time
 I should be using Continous Release repository, right ?

This is more complicated. The story above would be the usual way of working, 
and it indeed is for CentOS 4 and 5. They do not have the CR repository.

However, for CentOS 6 there is an additional quirk --- once the upstream (that 
is, Red Hat) releases a new point release (say, 6.1), it naturally stops 
providing updates for the previos point release (say, 6.0), expects everyone 
to just update to 6.1 and receive updates to that from now on.

The problem is that for version 6 CentOS devs have a hard time finishing the 
CentOS rebuild of the new release (6.1), so the CentOS 6 users stay on 6.0, 
and stop receiving any updates for it, because upstream doesn't provide any 
anymore. The CR repo is used for those situations --- it provides updates to 
CentOS 6.0 which were supposed to be updates for CentOS 6.1, if CentOS 6.1 had 
existed at the time of issuing the update.

The bottom line is --- if you use the CR repo, you'll have an up-to-date 
CentOS 6 system as possible, regardless of the minor version number still 
being 0. This is *less* updated than the upstream's 6.1 system, because of the 
mentioned problems with rebuilding certain packages. If you believe these 
missing updates are so very crucial for your system, go buy Red hat and you'll 
be provided with those. Otherwise, use the CR repo and wait for the CentOS 
devs to finish building them.

Eventually, when the 6.1 build of CentOS becomes complete, version numbers 
will be back in sync with what is actually installed on your system (via an 
ordinary yum update), and your syste will be an up-to-date 6.1, regardless of 
whether or not you have used the CR repo in the meantime. The CR repository 
will become empty at that time.

So, yes, you probably want to use the CR repository until 6.1 is finished. 
Maybe there will be a lag for 6.2 release as well, and then there will be the 
CR repo again for the same reasons.

 Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and
 libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences
 between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ?

AFAIK, most of the software is kept on the single version, but there might be 
some exceptions. For example the kernel version will be fixed throughout the 
6.x releases, and all bugfixes and the rest will be backported.

I don't know exactly about the exceptions, but I think I remember that firefox 
version may be bumped within 6.x releases, or something like that...

 I couldn’t find all of these question properly answered in the FAQs

CentOS follows exactly the release strategy of upstream. You probably want to 
look up the FAQ of RedHat. :-)

HTH, :-)

Re: [CentOS] openvpn + bridge utils in CentOS 6

2011-11-04 Thread Минтаиров Михаил


28.09.2011, 04:58, 唐建伟 myh...@gmail.com:
Hello, I didn't find what to answer to you mounth ago. But now I also have an 
installation of centos 6 (at past I used centos 5.7) , and I have the same 
problems as you. First of all, did you find any solutions?
 
I only found that the problem is in br0 device. I can't guess why but it not 
recive ARP REPLY packets. 

tcpdump on all devices (tap0, eth1, br0) give me the same:

20:12:22.012270 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.11.3 tell 192.168.11.33, length 28
20:12:23.027897 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.11.3 tell 192.168.11.33, length 28
20:12:24.027951 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.11.3 tell 192.168.11.33, length 28
//192.158.11.33 is remoute PC ip-address, and 192.168.11.3 is one of my local 
hosts//

and no APR REPLY.

Intresting that on other hand I have the same configs files on Centos 5.7. and 
everything work perfectly.


 no, i removed the commands you mentioned, but it still doesn't work.

 First of all you should check routing table of remote hosts. If

when you run `yum update` just before 6.2 is released, you'll have a 
very updated 6.1.   when you run it after 6.2 is released, you'll have a 
6.2 plus any patches released since 6.2 was rolled up.

the 'numbered' releases just represent roll ups of patches that are 
bundled onto a new set of installation media.   6.1, 6.2, etc represent 
a snapshot.

[CentOS] coordinated NIS and LDAP servers

2011-11-04 Thread Boris Epstein
Hello listmates,
We are currently running NIS for authentication but would like to
migrate to LDAP. Thing is, though, that some of the machines that
authenticate via NIS are so old I'd rather not even touch them.
Hence the question - is there a good way to have an NIS server for
user authentication that is a mirror image of an LDAP server, with a
proviso that an update introduced there is replicated in the LDAP
server's databases?
Thanks.
Boris.

I don't know of any syncing mechanisms between an existing NIS
environment and an existing LDAP environment, but if you are willing to
migrate to something new that provides both, you might try FreeIPA.

[CentOS] Odd ethernet interface

2011-11-04 Thread Mufit Eribol
Hello,

I have a CentOS 6 VM on a CentOS 6 host. This VM has two ethernet 
interfaces, eth0 and eth1. It was working nice. All of a sudden eth1 
stopped working as expected. Kernel started to give the message below:

kernel: udev: renamed network interface eth2 to eth2-eth1

There is no any eth2 or eth2-eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. I 
really don't know where it is coming from.

Your eth1 is being automaticaly renamed to eth2-eth1 for some reason. 
Have you changed anything in config(s) connected to eth1?

Are name and device name in ifcfg-ethX consistent? Have you reshufled 
your configs and left loose end somewhere?

Do you maybe have NetworkManager still active?

I'd recommend the same treatment for network manager as we used for sendmail
all those years back:
# yum -y remove NetworkManager

And then configure your network the old, verified, stable and trusted way,
by editing the ifcfg files. The whole idea of having something running on a
*server* that can change your networks settings for whatever reason is
horribly wrong.

To answer your question, there exist something called nm-cli, but I found
