They made it to the NIC on the box running the application but something weeded them out rather than delivering them. After much Googling and advice from folks like Les as well as following the advice in other message postings (that didn't work), I finally found this article in the Shrew Soft VPN-help archive: http://lists.shrew.net/pipermail/vpn-help/2008-November/000950.html Using this advice, I now have the VPN running. The effect of setting the various values for rp_filter aren't immediate and the one specified (net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter) to set to zero was already zero (which is why I didn't think this was the problem). I decided to try setting all of the rp_filter values to zero and one or more of them did the trick. If anyone has any advice for figuring out the minimum set of rp_filter values that must be zero, I would love to hear it. In the "for what it's worth department" this was using an ike-2.1.7 rpm that was built from the FC-16 source rpm. I just downloaded the srpm and built it on my EL6 box using rpmbuild.

[CentOS] Centos 6.x and Freenx issue..
Finally got a chance to install Centos 6.x x86_64 version and having an issue with the latest version of freenx. This is a desktop install on a esxi 5 with all updates and only thing I have installed is the latest vmware tools. When I enable the extras repo and install the nx-3.5.0-1.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm and freenx-0.7.3-8.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm. When I try to logon the desktop pops up but I get the little busy circle and it never completes, I am unable to close the session or do anything to the freenx window. Here is the odd, part, if I install the earlier versions from toracat, freenx-0.7.3-7.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm and nx-3.4.0-7.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm the session comes up and works fine,I can exclude the updates but wondering if anyone has any idea of what I might try to get it to work with the latest, thanks in advance. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yup, I'm aware of that. But it's rather improbable, especially given the other symptoms. Update: After submitting the original post, I've noticed that these issues probably started about a week ago after upgrading a kernel and several related packages. I've had a swap there and the issues were not as severe, so I haven't noticed that before. I do remember I got an OOM error during that upgrade and I thought I've dealt with it properly, but maybe not. So I've reinstalled (remove+install) all those packages, rebooted and the problems disappeared. I will check that in the evening, but hopefully it's fixed. kind regards ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Centos 6.2, sheduled tasks (cron)
Hi all, I wanted to schedule some rsync backups and found that CentOS is by default using anacron. I'm mostly used with the historical cron, but let's follow the progress :-) - I made a shell script in /etc/cron.daily/dobackup - I made it 755, root.root. - In /etc/anacrontab, START_HOURS_RANGE=21-23 (I kept the other lines unchanged) - When I manually run /etc/cron.daily/dobackup, it runs quietly (no errors) Where should I check if the task scheduler is setup correctly (logs)? Must I reload a service (BTW, is it "crond" yet?) after editing /etc/anacrontab? How to tell that it may launch between 21:00 and 5:00? - START_HOURS_RANGE=21-05? - START_HOURS_RANGE=21-23,00-05? - ... -- RMA. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
