Re: [CentOS-es] Uso de xhost display en centos

2013-05-21 Thread jramig
Debes ejecutar:

root@mimaquina: ssh -X root@remotemachine

Después en remotemachine ejecutar cualquier aplicación gráfica como por
ejemplo firefox, nautilus o el instalador gráfico que necesitas.

Ojo que debes tener X-Windows instalado en el server remoto para funcione:

yum groupinstall X Window System

y creo que las fuentes también deben estar instaladas

yum groupinstall Fonts


Cheers!!

 I think I really hit a snag with this one - I have no idea where to go

 I'd appreciate any ideas.


I use aide (akin to tripwire) to keep file signature db.   The online
db file is immutable but I also keep a copy of it offline (along with
sha1sum)

Run aide (the static binary) against the db file to detect changes (if any).

Also rpm -qa --verify will list files whose MD5 sums have changed, not
a full proof method.

You may also look at fail2ban, mod_evasive, mod_security (EPEL repo).

[CentOS] ICMPv6 Neighbour Solication request is not answered by linux when IPv6 address is assigned via Netlink code.

2013-05-21 Thread Kevin Peterson
Hi, 

I have a process which is running as a linux service and assigns IP addresses 
using netlink to configued interface in linux.
For IPv4 addresses i do not see any issue with this assignment.

When i try to assign an IPv6 address, the address gets assigned successfully to 
the interface, but the Neighbour Solication request received for that address 
is not responded with and hence ping6 from a different machine doesn't work.

When i take the same netlink code and run it in a sample program the address 
gets assigned and the Neighbour solicitation is responded with a advertisement 
and hence ping6 works.

IP assigned by the program : 7000::15/32
IP on client machine from where ping6 is done : 7000::17/32.

Bot machines are connected to same Layer-2 switch.

I have flushed the ip6tables on both the machines just to rule out any firewall 
issues.

Thanks,
Kevin Peterson

Re: [CentOS] How to load balance interrupts of a NIC on the PCI-MSI-edge driver in CentOS? :(

2013-05-21 Thread account Flexzor
Thanks John!,

I understand now. I think there are some NICs that have different queues
which are connected to the kernel in the form of different IRQs, and as
thus can be load balanced nicely. Ive seen that on 10GigE NICs.. but iam
wondering if by any chance you know if the one suggested can do such, or
the name of the feature Iam looking for so I can browse myself?

 IRQ handlers are not reentrant, as the hardware can't deal with it.

 you can only have one CPU thread at a time in the IRQ handler for a
 specific device, so you might as well just handle one device with one
 CPU.   if you have several ethernet adapters, then I'd hope the IRQs
 could be distributed

 one device interrupting both cores would cause a lot of trouble with
 hardware contention, or it would need to be all spinlocked which would
 make it worse, you'd be CPU bound in TWO cores in spinlocks half the time.

 but again, a Server adapter like a Intel Pro1000 or whatever, something
 like...
 http://www.amazon.com/Intel-1000-Dual-Server-Adapter/dp/B000BMZHX2

 will do much better than some $5 realtek junk.

If you could show ip addr show and ip route show it would help


 When i try to assign an IPv6 address, the address gets assigned
 successfully to the interface, but the Neighbour Solication request
 received for that address is not responded with and hence ping6 from a
 different machine doesn't work.


Does it respond to the fe80:: address for that system or does it not
respond on IPv6 at all?


 When i take the same netlink code and run it in a sample program the
 address gets assigned and the Neighbour solicitation is responded with a
 advertisement and hence ping6 works.


Just for clarity's sake (since assumptions often lead to issues) this
sample program is being run on the same system? Could you post the sample
code?


 IP assigned by the program : 7000::15/32
 IP on client machine from where ping6 is done : 7000::17/32.


Have you changed these addresses for the purpose of email? Given that
7000:: is well outside of the addresses currently in RFCs there could be an
edge case bug surrounding that ... what if you use an appropriate ULA
address (fc00::/7) - does the issue appear in that case? You have a very
odd subnet mask applied for that IPv6 address ... the general expectation
is a single subnet is /64 ...and in fact /32 is huge given that a /32 is
generally expected to be assigned to a complete ISP with most end users
being between a /48 and a /56 in assignment... So there could be an edge
case bug as well given the size of subnet being associated...

Re: [CentOS] security breach - ftp?

2013-05-21 Thread John Doe
From: Philipp Duffner phil...@phphaus.com

 ...so I thought! Today the website got hacked again - the same exploit on
 the pages, meaning same attacker.
 And again I can see nothing suspicious except for the successful FTP logon
 just before the modification time of the infected html/php:
 ...
 I know for a fact it couldn't have been the website owner because I 
 didn't give him the new FTP password yet.

How did you change the password?  Remotely?
Did you check your own PC?

[CentOS] ReiserFS - status?

2013-05-21 Thread Rafał Radecki
Hi All.

What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers
which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem
for database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained
in CentOS/Linux kernel in the future?

Best regards,

The author and primary developer of the filesystem has some legal

Describing the filesystem (and its author's) future as bleak wouldn't
be an understatement IMO.

Insert inappropriate word-plays and connotations here


Is your use-case so extreme that the filesystem actually matters?
It's not 2001 anymore.

Hi All.

What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers 
which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem for 
database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained in 
CentOS/Linux kernel in the future?
Since Hans Reiser will be in prison for the next 10 years and the homepage of 
the company namesys - which is/was the main developing team - is no longer 
reachable, I think the future will more than vague. I don't even know if there 
is someone in charge for the development.
So I think this filesystem will slowly disappear.

To be honest, given Hans Reiser's antagonism to the Linux community and his
arrogance to name an FS after himself, well, I hope that that filesystem
simply
fades.  Was rewriting huge chunks of the kernel really necessary?

In the above link you can find comparisons between the various file systems,
their advantages and disadvantages.  Perhaps you can find something more
contemporary that can help you?

[CentOS] CentOS source rpm repository setup

2013-05-21 Thread Toralf Lund
Hi.

I thought I might set up my CentOS 6 system with a source rpm repository 
config, so that I'll be able to download srpm files via yumdownloader 
--source or similar. I'm thinking that in order to this, I have to add 
something like the following to the yum repos config:

[base-source]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base (SRPMS)
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/SRPMS
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

#released updates
[updates-source]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates (SRPMS)
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/SRPMS
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6


The question is, what I specify as baseurl? The above does not 
actually work, as http://mirror.centos.org/ does not have SRPMS 
subdirectories, although I believe it did in the past for earlier 
versions. So, does anyone know of URLs I can use instead?

Thanks,

 It is impossible to encrypt /boot... (you only have one other partition =
 root)
 Single LUKS volume = ease of management?  So I'm thinking LUKS with LVM
 inside.

Yes, just ease of management. We're not going to be adding/changing
disks or anything and only having to type a single passphrase is best.

 If you encrypt root, but don't encrypt swap you could be exposing data.
 As far as I've seen if you encrypt root, then you encrypt swap and
 most/all
 other partitions.  It really depends on what you want encrypted (remember
 there will be some CPU cycles and additional I/O wait).

Thanks for the reminder, but we're actually not using swap on this system.

  pro/con to each of those options. My very basic/quick testing seemed
  to indicate that doing it on the raid line was the better solution,
 

 ** Where else would you place the encryption?  (Please list of scenarios.)
 **

The encryption could be on the individual partitions and then the raid
would use the two encrypted partitions. I tried this and it seemed
that then there were two encryption processes running so my very
simple testing seemed to indicate that this sort of configuration
would double the CPU usage.

 You'll notice I choose not to put the LUKS passphrase in plain text in the
 kickstart config (Anaconda asks for one before partitioning the disks).

 I have an example below with and without LVM.  I've done non-LVM encrypted
 setups in the past, so I haven't tested that recently.  But the
 raid+luks+lvm I kickstarted on a test VM (notice the virtio disks).

Thanks the examples are good for comparison.

  but I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this?

Hi,

The next CentOS Dojo is coming to Aldershot, UK - a 45 min train ride
from London Waterloo station - on the 12th July 2013. We have a great,
and growing list of speakers already on the agenda, and another few
waiting to confirm.

And, the venue sponsors - catn.com - are going to organise a hog roast
barbecue and beet for everyone attending once the talks are done (
4pm'ish ). So another great reason to come along and say hi.

Details on the day: http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Aldershot2013
Registration URL : http://centosdojoaldershot.eventbrite.co.uk/#

I will post another followup email once we have the agenda finalised,
but if you are in the area - or can get to the area on the 12th July - I
highly recommend you come along. Its going to be a great event!

[CentOS] semi-OT: flashing the BIOS on an HP dl580 GT, afterward

2013-05-21 Thread m . roth
When last we saw our hero, er, sysadmin, he'd found that the noarch BIOS
update was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it.
Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity
(for small values of hilarity) ensued.

First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to
guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem, no himem, live CD only,
or, finally, no drivers loaded, which works. It gags on something orders
of magnitude larger than it was written for, y'know.

Then I discover that the builtin type command does *not* have /p, and
there's no more command, and I should have read the longer files before I
started this. Fun with ctrl-s ensues.

Finally, I find what are actually DOS config.sys files, with different
extensions, and read them - they're one-liners, and find out how to run
the rompaq.exe that runs the utility to flash the drives, and run it. And
again. And again. And *finally* get the reason it's failing, and (to save
the original name) copied the actual data from an 8.3 name into 7 char,
which the utility demands: *exactly* seven chars, no more, no less.

And unlike the Dell utility, which give you lots of warm fuzzies
(collecting data, this is for this hardware, this is newer, do you want
to update?), this just does it. Fortunately, this HBS contains a backup
ROM, just in case

And a three-finger kill later, it's up. And I put the memory boards back
in, so we'll see if the BIOS update fixed the memory problems (remember
them? this song's about them)

Please don't top post.

 Given we are talking about IPv6 - my apologies I forgot ip route show
defaults to v4 information ... If you could redo with ip -6 route show
that'd be great...

Whilst testing (and in general) stick to /64 assignments - that is the
expectation and best place to start ... and similarly either use a provided
IP space (from a tunnel broker if need be) or use ULA to avoid edge cases
there ... if that works then you can test outside the expected areas ...

With the behaviour you mention I'm curious as to whether an entry for the
network is being entered into the table at all on the system the code
snippet is run on versus the one where ip addr add is used...

As an example from my system after doing an ip addr add fc0017/64 dev
eth0 the routing table looks like:

$ ip -6 route show
2001::/32 dev teredo  proto kernel  metric 256
fc00::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256
fe80::/64 dev teredo  proto kernel  metric 256
default dev teredo  metric 1029

Check before and after you have done your code snippet... You might find
it'll work fine if you preconfigure the routing table with that subnet (or
just add another ipv6 address on that subnet to have it done automatically
that way)...

If no route for that network gets entered it may not be surprising not to
be able to ping until the first machine has and the neighbour is discovered

 In the above link you can find comparisons between the various file systems,
 their advantages and disadvantages.  Perhaps you can find something more
 contemporary that can help you?

pretty good summary, but I take issue with the XFS summary statement, 
If you really like to tweak your system to meet your needs, XFS is a 
great way to go..XFS requires no tweaking at all, just `mkfs.xfs 
/dev/vg_bigdata/lvwhatever` and mount and go. Its not suitable as the 
root file system for CentOS (mostly because Anaconda doesn't know how to 
set it up), but for data volumes, its king.only caveat is, the 
system MUST be 64bit, and you should have a fair amount of RAM to ensure 
xfs_check can handle the bajillions of files and links likely to 
accumulate on larger volumes.

Re: [CentOS] How to load balance interrupts of a NIC on the PCI-MSI-edge driver in CentOS? :(

2013-05-21 Thread Alex Flex
Thanks John,

You have been most helpful.

Do you happen to have any suggestion to the following:

In my lab test with two identical Core I5 machines I created a syn flood 
on a gigabit switch: In the originating machine I was able to get 800k 
pps using one core only and that core was used at 75% with top reporting 
most of the consumption was at SYS, and SI almost nothing. At the 
recieving side the core assigned to the IRQ of the NIC was maxed with 
100% SI (syn cookies was disabled).

Why is clearly so significantly expensive for the recieving side rather 
than the sending side to process a syn flood if they have identical 
hardware? Oh and btw the recieving side could only do 400k pps.

Thanks!
Alex

 IRQ handlers are not reentrant, as the hardware can't deal with it.

 you can only have one CPU thread at a time in the IRQ handler for a
 specific device, so you might as well just handle one device with one
 CPU.   if you have several ethernet adapters, then I'd hope the IRQs
 could be distributed

 one device interrupting both cores would cause a lot of trouble with
 hardware contention, or it would need to be all spinlocked which would
 make it worse, you'd be CPU bound in TWO cores in spinlocks half the time.

 but again, a Server adapter like a Intel Pro1000 or whatever, something
 like...
 http://www.amazon.com/Intel-1000-Dual-Server-Adapter/dp/B000BMZHX2

 will do much better than some $5 realtek junk.

[CentOS] SuperMicro with LSI MegaRaid with Centos 6.0

2013-05-21 Thread Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,

I am trying to install a Centos 6.0 system on a SuperMicro with an LSI
MegaRaid SCSI 320-2 controller.  

I had originally tried to install 6.4, but the 6.4 install DVD does not
boot with this configuration.  
See :
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5377

Fortunately, the 6.0 install DVD worked fine until it failed to identify
the hard disc controller.  I checked the lsi.com site which had a driver
for RH 3 and RH4, but not 5 and not 6.  

The interesting thing about this machine is that I had Centos 5.0
installed without difficulty (that over time upgraded to 5.9)

Does anyone have any idea of a driver I could use to get Centos 6.0 up
and running.

Thanks

Greg Ennis

I don't think you understand how to use it. First, BEFORE YOU TRY TO
INSTALL, use the firmware option while it's getting up - I think it's
ctrl-R, and create a logical drive, whatever RAID level you want, with
spares if it's not just RAID 1. Tell it to initialize (you can do a quick

2013-05-21 Thread Peter Eckel
Hi James, 

  perl -pne 's/^(CN=)(DATA\.OU=)((.*?)\.O=CO)$/$1$4_$2$3/' /file/name

or, if you prefer in-place editing, 

  perl -i.bak -pne 's/(CN=)(DATA\.OU=)((.*?)\.O=CO)/$1$4_$2$3/' /file/name

which replaces the file with the modified version and keeps a .bak file around 
for security. 

Example: 

lagavulin:~ pete$ cat /tmp/test
some text
some text2
CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
some text3

lagavulin:~ pete$  perl -pne 's/(CN=)(DATA\.OU=)((.*?)\.O=CO)/$1$4_$2$3/'

Mark,

Thank you for your response.  You are correct in that I may not
understand how to configure the LSI, but I had some help that was very
familiar with the LSI controller, but not familiar with Linux.

Actually the configuration key is ctrl-M or ctrl-H, and we did
create a RAID Level 1; we also did an initialization that resulted in a
100% a consistency check.  

After this, I expected to be able to start the 6.0 install, but when the
install disc got to the point of evaluating the hard discs it did not
find any, and gave me a prompt screen allowing me to select a driver
from a list, or add a driver via a floppy disc.  There were (maybe four)
LSI drivers in their list, and I tried all of them without success.

Thanks again, any other ideas ??

If it's any help, some googling suggests that the 320 is what Dell
rebranded as a PERC 4. It's kind of possible that there are 32-bit drivers
for it - it does seem to be an old controller, though.

The firmware for the controller *is* presenting one logical drive, correct?

I also found this:

Good luck.

Depends on your budget. If software raid works for you, Linux's own md
works very nicely. DON'T USE the Intel fakeraid. More money: a Dell PERC 6
or 7 - they're also rebranded LSI's, and work fine, and we use CentOS 5

[CentOS] Centos 6.4: Possible bug in system-config-network-cmd

2013-05-21 Thread Glenn Eychaner
I'm having a puzzling problem with system-config-network-cmd in CentOS 6.4. I 
have a workstation with a number of different grub boot configurations (a spare 
for a set of workstations, basically), each of which has a parameter 
MYHOST=hostname, and I am using system-config-network-cmd to set the boot 
configuration during the network process (using a small custom system service 
that runs just before network startup, reads the configuration name from 
/proc/cmdline and calls system-config-network-cmd -p configname).

I have properly disabled NetworkManager, and have 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and .../profiles set up correctly AFAIK (it 
was all copied from a CentOS 5 machine, and the hand links were maintained 
properly as needed; such a PITA that they got rid of the very nice GUI for 
this).

This all works great, EXCEPT that if the machine is booted a fixed-IP profile, 
the the DHCP ifcfg file also winds up in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.  So, 
if I have in profiles/dhcp/ifcfg-eth0_dhcp (with a hardlink in devices/, of 
course):

TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=MAC redacted
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

and in profiles/fixed/ifcfg-eth0_fixed

GATEWAY=x.y.z.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=MAC redacted
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=x.y.z.n
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

If I boot into fixed, I find that ifcfg-eth0_dhcp is also in network-scripts, 
and it tries to activate this interface, even though this interface is NOT in 
profiles/fixed in any way!  This worked great in CentOS 5, so I think I know 
what I'm doing here? For now, I am fixing the issue by running a find on 
network-scripts to remove inappropriate files after running 
systme-config-network-cmd, but that is complete cheese, of course. Is there 
something missing from ifcfg-eth0_dhcp that is confusing the 
system-config-network-cmd script? Is there any documentation on this that's 
helpful? And is there simply a better way to do this that I've missed?

Thanks,
-G.

Thanks, we can perhaps roll that in as is, but with sources being repo
specific it can get quite noisy. Overall better goal might be to have a
single source repo that then covers the point release and splits as well.

I'll second this.  I've noticed the iowait is fairly high on my offsite

 And the kcryptd process consumes a fair bit of cpu time.


 Performance wise the winner seems clear.


And kcrypd isn't SMP aware [0] (unless that has changed) so there's another
