Exactly.

Agreed but explaining the concept to WAMP web application developers  

 disabling
 direct root login should be sufficiently secure.

This is the first thing I do after installation is complete :)

[CentOS] virsh migrate

2013-04-19 Thread Bazy
Hello,

Short question about KVM migration.
For doing on hytest1.test.lab: virsh migrate --live 
|/CentOStestbox1/|/|qemu+ssh://hytest2.test.lab/system do I need shared 
storage or will it copy the machine over via ssh?
Unfortunately I don't have the hardware to test this on at the moment :(

[CentOS] Need help with gateways nd routing of 192.168.0.0/24 addresses

2013-04-19 Thread James B. Byrne
Arch = x86_64
OS = CentOS-6.4

Problem:
What is the correct gateway to specify for private IP addresses that
may pass thorough NAT?

Background:
Our gateway is configured thus:

#/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ificfg-eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=
DEFROUTE=yes
DEVICE=eth1
DNS1=216.185.71.33
GATEWAY=216.185.64.53
IPADDR=216.185.71.1
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
MACADDR=
MTU=
NAME=LAN Link - eth1
NETMASK=
NETWORK=
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
PREFIX=24
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no

and

#/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ificfg-eth1:192006
NAME=eth1:192006 internal
BOOTPROTO=none
MACADDR=
IPV6INIT=no
DEVICE=eth1:192006
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
MTU=
BROADCAST=192.168.6.255
ONPARENT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.6.1
NETWORK=192.168.6.0

On the gateway these are the routes present:

216.185.64.52/30 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 216.185.64.54
192.168.6.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.6.1
192.168.216.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.216.1
216.185.71.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 216.185.71.1
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link  metric 1002
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1  scope link  metric 1003
default via 216.185.64.53 dev eth0

Situation:
I have a device configured thus:

BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
DEVICE=eth0
DNS1=216.185.71.33
GATEWAY=216.185.71.1
IPADDR=192.168.6.9
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
MACADDR=
MTU=
NAME=eth0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.6.0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
PREFIX=24
TYPE=Ethernet

When I try and ping this device I see this:

PING 192.168.6.9 (192.168.6.9) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=2 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.6.9)
From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=3 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.6.9)
From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=4 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.6.9)
From 216.185.71.1: icmp_seq=5 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 192.168.6.9)

If I down eth1:192006 on the gateway then all ping packets are simply
lost:

PING 192.168.6.9 (192.168.6.9) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 192.168.6.9 ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 8277ms


However, if leave eth1:192006 on the gateway up and I change the
gateway on 192.168 device to 192.168.6.1 the problem goes away.

I can see what works.  My question is really is this the way things
are supposed to be set up when one has private IP4 hosts on the same
network segments as public IP4 hosts?  Is there any way to configure
the gateway so that it only requires one internal address
[216.185.71.1] and can still route 192.168.6.0 addresses so that they
stay on the LAN segment?

[CentOS] still no centos 6.4 live cd dvd available?

2013-04-19 Thread ppse
Hello,
 
in the release announcement for centos 6.4 on march 9th, the 6.4-live cd/dvd 
was supposed to be released a few days after the centos 6.4 release.
Meanwhile 6 weeks later i still can't find any live cd/dvd in the mirror 
repositories.
Any hint when there is a 6.4. live cd available?
I'd like to test centos 6.4 on several machines (x86_64) without foregoing 
installation.
Thank you in advance

 How do you handle the ACL when multiple users need the ssh access?


You could create an iptables chain specifically for those needing SSH
access.
For a boat load of customers though this may not scale well.

On many of my systems anyone other than sys admins do not need SSH access.
 And on top of that people that work remotely have VPN access.

Clearly, my situation is different than yours but maybe you can adapt
something.


 Use case scenario,  I have setup CentOS based LAMP servers (as an
 admin) and pay extra for static IPs to assure my clients that  I
 access their servers from specific IPs only.   However,  the web
 developers who keep making changes (per client request) need sftp
 access to the boxen; their respective ISP service, provide only
 dynamic IPs (or charge extra which the freelancer will not pay for)

 At the moment, I have had to leave it open with fail2ban monitoring
 the ssh port.


If fail2ban is working well then stick with it.  I more often use fail2ban
on vsftp and sasl auth logs since ssh is all but isolated from the outside
world on _most_ boxes.

I suggest you look at the discussion of the migrate subcommand in 
the virsh(1) man page. It's certainly possible, but it depends on the 
details of your setup, especially hypervisor, filesystem setup and 
permissions.


In other words, a general answer is unlikely to be forthcoming.

[CentOS] Supermicro Boot Failures with DVD Centos 6.2

2013-04-19 Thread Gregory P. Ennis
Eve.8ryone,

I have had a SuperMicro machine running Centos 5.8 that had been
progressively updated with yum-cron from a 5.0 CD install.

I upgraded the SuperMicro with more memory, switched out the CD with a
DVD and tried to boot to the Centos x64 6.2 dvd.  My plan was to test
the memory before I added the hard drives, but I could not I could not
get the machine to boot from the disc.  I also tried some Fedora install
discs as well as LiveFedora and the machine would still not boot.  I
could get it to boot with a dreaded Microsoft install disc.  We also
updated the bios with the latest version and this did not make a
difference.

We have not tried to use these disks with the hard drives installed yet
because we were in the process of just testing the memory. 

Has anyone had this problem with SuperMicro's.  Is the problem as simple
as a requirement to have a hard disc installed.   Your help would be
appreciated.

Thank you,

Greg Ennis

Make sure, in the BIOS, that booting from the DVD is enabled. Also - you
*have* booted from the dvd on another machine, right?

I *hate* Supermicro. As I mentioned the other day on another thread, we've
stopped buying from Penguin, who are all Supermicro, and we have had a
*ton* of problems. With the 48-core and 64-core servers, which you'd think
would be top of the line, with the H8QG6 m/bs, we've had at least, um, 6
replaced out of under 30.

Thanks for the reply.  yes, the bios for the DVD is activated, and in
fact we have booted to a Microsoft OS with the same DVD, but have not
been able to boot to a linux os; this has been a real surprise for us.

Mark,

We get a one line descriptor at the top of the screen that starts out with

ISOLINUX ...

Sorry, but I can not remember the full line.

The system then hangs at this point, and after this is displayed it does
not appear that the DVD drive is accessed again.  At least the light on
the DVD does not blink again.

If you can boot another server from this DVD, it suggests that there's a
driver missing, though if this is an install disk, that's odd. Have you
tried ctrlaltf4 or f5? IIRC, those should show what goes into dmesg.

Your issue might already have been solved if you CPU/chipset was not
supported by 6.2 but only since 6.3 or 6.4...

Cheers,

 We get a one line descriptor at the top of the screen that starts out with

 ISOLINUX ...

 Sorry, but I can not remember the full line.

 The system then hangs at this point, and after this is displayed it does
 not appear that the DVD drive is accessed again.  At least the light on
 the DVD does not blink again.

If you can boot another server from this DVD, it suggests that there's a
driver missing, though if this is an install disk, that's odd. Have you
tried ctrlaltf4 or f5? IIRC, those should show what goes into dmesg.

Mark,

I have installed 4 other machines with this same DVD disc.  The only
thing that is a little different is that we have not attached a hard
disc drive to the SuperMicro yet, we were only at the point of testing
the memory.  

Thanks for your advice about ctrlaltF4  I will not be able to try
this until I can get to the machine, prob 24 hrs.  I'll let you know
what happens.

Tru,

You are right, I was just being lazy.  We are in the process of creating
a 6.4 DVD.  It is just too easy to yum -y update :) I had 5.8 on this
system and there was no problem.

[CentOS] Phpmyadmin access: Was RE: phpmyadmin location

2013-04-19 Thread Bruce Whealton
Hello,
  It is interesting how my thread took off.  Anyway, I found the config
files, the my.conf file for mysql and the phpMyAdmin.conf file.  However, I
cannot access it from the same linux box, using localhost, or any of the
systems in my local network.  I found a tutorial online and it was aimed at
a local network because the tutorial had one opening it up to accept
connections from any ip and it didn't get into securing it with SSL. Even
after following that, I still got the message that I do not have permission
to access the directory where phpmyadmin is.
  I did wget and moved it to my apache server document root.  So, my
goals are twofold, and in the order listed.  
1) First, I'd like to have a box on my network that I can SSH to and run
applications that require mysql db, eg. drupal, owncloud, and some php mvc
frameworks.  This could be from my local network, e.g. 192.168.0.6 accessing
the Centos box at 192.168.0.4
2) Then, I want to access it using a domain, which I have that currently
points to the machine.  

I did this previously and was accessing the phpmyadmin from the
domain that I had purchased and using a dynamic IP service, I have it
pointing to my network.  At this point, I don't have the means to offer a
server for friends and family, or others.  What is difficult is the
phpmyadmin issue and the mysql db.  I took one course on Lynda.com that
dealt with this topic and it used Ubuntu which has a wizard that lets you
setup the username/pw for the db and phpmyadmin.  With Centos, I just used
yum to download mysql and I used wget to get phpmyadmin.  I have not been
able to find the default username and password when it is installed in this
fashion.  
  I have the root account which I think by default is without a
password.  I just don't know how to access the phpmyadmin directory.  It is
possible to just create a db using the command line but I'd like to figure
the phpmyadmin access issue out.
Thanks,
Bruce

I haven't been following this thread... but did anyone (maybe even me,
dipping in) mention rpm -ql phpmyadmin, and look at all the files and
where they are? Also, have you looked at the documentation for it that
comes in the package?

Mark,

I sure appreciate your help.  Unfortunately, that was one of the first
things I did.  Joe Eubank is helping me on this project, and he just
sent me a note that he was able to get Centos to boot from a usb stick
so we may be able to bypass our problem.  I'll keep everyone informed so
others can benefit from our trial and error.

 Greg, can you scare up a spare disk and attach it to test your theory?
