Re: [CentOS-virt] How many virtual guest 'cpus' can a core duo 'quad' core support
On Wed, February 22, 2012 12:25, Todd And Margo Chester Therefore, in your given case, think six not twelve. Common advice is to leave one core for the host OS/scheduler. Which leaves you with 5 physical CPUs to allocate. Thank you. I never planned to allocate to any guest more cpus that were physically available. What I was checking was that a single physical cpu with four cores actually counted as four cpus insofar as kvm itself was concerned. I have allocated guests their processors on the basis that 1 core = 1 cpu. But it occurred to me that core might actually mean something different and so I wanted to verify my understanding. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Seems that ever since Centos 5, proftpd has had problems using pam, and with Centos 6.2 64 bit, I had to quit using it altogether with proftpd. Do you mean some specific pam step listed in /etc/pam.d/proftpd fails, or what? And are you doing anything exotic there or just trying to read the shadow file? And when reading the shadow file, is SElinux enabled and logging errors? No, nothing exotic, just a generic install of Proftpd. On the Centos 5 boxes, I started getting the following, but it would work: Deprecated pam_stack module called from service proftpd pam_succeed_if(proftpd:session): error retrieving information about user 0 pam_unix(proftpd:session): session closed for user I'd found tons of fixes for it, but most would mean just editing the /etc/pam.d/proftpd file or making /etc/pam.d/ftp file the same as proftpd file. Nothing was a clean fix. But logins would still work. On the Centos 6.2 box, logins wouldn't work at all unless I removed the line requiring pam_shells.so. Now on to the big problem. In the file /etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf I've got the line: pwcheck_method:pam I've got the certificates all fine in the sendmail.mc/cf file just fine, I've got the port 587 defined and it's showing in netstat, but when I try and create an account to access port 587 to send email through, no matter what method I use (ssh, tls, plain ) I can't get an email to go through this. I'm guessing that since I've got these ever-increasing problems with PAM, maybe there's something I'm overlooking in the Pam config, but I'm not aware of any problems. I just can't seem to get authenticated. I'm aware that going from Centos 3 to Centos 6.2 is a big jump. Fighting Dovecot for Imap has been the biggest hurdle, and it's just recently that people have started notifying me of some of the problems of being able to relay through our server. My access file on both old and new are duplicates, so the problem isn't there. The other sendmail files are the same as well (local domains, etc). There's not a wall hard enough for me to keep banging my head against, it seems, and I'm really not getting any benefit from banging it. SeLinux is off as well as iptables and ip6tables. The firewalling is done for all servers on the network, not the individual server, and the IP of the new server took over the IP of the old server, so the firewall should still be good for all ports and services. Proftpd is not the real problem here, but the sendmail problem is causing a few calls.

[CentOS] System reboots automatically more or less every two days
Good Evening, I have a problem with CentOS 6.2. On December 2011 I installed CentOS 6.1 on a HP ProLiant DL 165 G7 server. Recentely I upgraded to CentOS 6.2 but at reboot the system didn't startup. So I removed new kernel kernel-2.6.32-220.4.2.el6 and CentOS was again able to startup with original kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64. But now every two days the system automatically reboots as you can see below: reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Wed Feb 22 22:53 - 17:10 (18:16) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Wed Feb 22 20:04 - 17:10 (21:06) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Fri Feb 17 22:55 - 17:10 (5 +18:14) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Fri Feb 17 07:05 - 17:10 (6 +10:04) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Wed Feb 15 15:02 - 17:10 (8 +02:08) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Mon Feb 13 00:33 - 17:10 (10 +16:36) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Sun Feb 12 16:08 - 17:10 (11 +01:02) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Sun Feb 12 15:00 - 17:10 (11 +02:09) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Thu Feb 9 18:06 - 17:10 (13 +23:03) reboot system boot 2.6.32-71.el6.x8 Tue Feb 7 01:22 - 17:10 (16 +15:47) In log file /var/log/messages there are no particular events happened before system halt down.

Do you mean some specific pam step listed in /etc/pam.d/proftpd fails, or what? And are you doing anything exotic there or just trying to read the shadow file? And when reading the shadow file, is SElinux enabled and logging errors? No, nothing exotic, just a generic install of Proftpd. On the Centos 5 boxes, I started getting the following, but it would work: Deprecated pam_stack module called from service proftpd pam_succeed_if(proftpd:session): error retrieving information about user 0 pam_unix(proftpd:session): session closed for user I'd found tons of fixes for it, but most would mean just editing the /etc/pam.d/proftpd file or making /etc/pam.d/ftp file the same as proftpd file. Nothing was a clean fix. But logins would still work. On the Centos 6.2 box, logins wouldn't work at all unless I removed the line requiring pam_shells.so. Now on to the big problem. In the file /etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf I've got the line: pwcheck_method:pam I've got the certificates all fine in the sendmail.mc/cf file just fine, I've got the port 587 defined and it's showing in netstat, but when I try and create an account to access port 587 to send email through, no matter what method I use (ssh, tls, plain ) I can't get an email to go through this. I'm guessing that since I've got these ever-increasing problems with PAM, maybe there's something I'm overlooking in the Pam config, but I'm not aware of any problems. I just can't seem to get authenticated. I'm aware that going from Centos 3 to Centos 6.2 is a big jump. Fighting Dovecot for Imap has been the biggest hurdle, and it's just recently that people have started notifying me of some of the problems of being able to relay through our server. My access file on both old and new are duplicates, so the problem isn't there. The other sendmail files are the same as well (local domains, etc). There's not a wall hard enough for me to keep banging my head against, it seems, and I'm really not getting any benefit from banging it. SeLinux is off as well as iptables and ip6tables. The firewalling is done for all servers on the network, not the individual server, and the IP of the new server took over the IP of the old server, so the firewall should still be good for all ports and services. Proftpd is not the real problem here, but the sendmail problem is causing a few calls.

Note that the default SMTP server now on CentOS is postfix which I take as yet another sign that a majority of people have moved on to postfix too. That said, it seems certain that sendmail is capable of doing SASL authentication (TLS/SSL/Plain) so the choice is yours. You should be able to indicate to cyrus-saslauthd to use pam (/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd) and thus you would need to configure sendmail to listen and handle connections on the various ports (587 and perhaps 465 for Outlook users) and to use cyrus-saslauthd but to be honest, that's something I solved long ago using postfix (and LDAP users too). SASL would normally use 'PLAIN' authentication but it can be wrapped with TLS or SSL for encryption.

The difference is only in how much the hosting system forces you to use certain images and versions, which will likely vary with the vendor. Books on security are always out of date anyway. The system security business is very specialized - plan on spending a lot of either time or money if you are going to do anything out of the ordinary.

The difference is only in how much the hosting system forces you to use certain images and versions, which will likely vary with the vendor. Books on security are always out of date anyway. The system security business is very specialized - plan on spending a lot of either time or money if you are going to do anything out of the ordinary. But, unless you have something unique and valuable to attack, you mostly have to worry about known exploits on the platform you use, and the main thing you can do about it is to keep your software updated so you get the fixes as soon as they are available. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It appears it's just a basic pam file but instead of system-auth, it has password-auth. Meant to say pretty much everyone over on the dovecot list must be using postfix, which has support for dovecot auth. I'd like to make sendmail use cyrus sasl, and I don't really care what auth dovecot uses, but I'm guessing it's inflexible so that it probably will use dovecot auth. Whatever you think about sendmail, you can't say it is inflexible. And whatever issues you are having are from not understanding the configuration. I don't have a problem with Sendmail, and it's always been flexible enough to do what I've needed from it. The configuration issue may be the problem, but I've been running it for twenty years or more and until now, that's not been the case. I'd say it's more than likely I don't understand the dovecot configurations. The suggestion to make them the same has been brought up, but all's I want to use is the PAM mechanism. That should have been the default. I agree. But it didn't work. turn off dovecot means service dovecot stop or /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot stop. saslauthd is still running and so is sendmail. saslauthd is started at boot and I've made sure it really is running using ps. That's not a default, is it? Or for sendmail to use it? And it is probably the one from the cyrus-sasl package. Correct again. Apparently, since sendmail is the secondary choice for MTA and dovecot is to work with postfix, nothing about my setup now is standard or default except for dovecot. Looks like I'm going to have to push postfix into service. It means learning where all the options are, just like in dovecot, and modifying any software that depends on the sendmail package, like MailScanner and who knows what else until I hit it.

Re: [CentOS] How to setup a computer using CentOS6 as a firewall for the whole network in my place?
Why does it have to be CentOS? If you want a wonderful router/firewall that you can have up and running in a few minutes, you should look at this: www.pfsense.org I quote from their website: pfSense is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org tailored for use as a firewall and router. In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform, it includes a long list of related features and a package system allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential security vulnerabilities to the base distribution. If you insist in using Linux instead, you could look at this: www.ipcop.org Once again, a distro specialized on the function it performs. Why have a generic and bloated system that you then have to customize from scratch when such wonderful specialized projects already exist?

If you are going to use CentOS 6 - as a VM host it must be installed on a 64 bit architecture!

While I specifically stated the installation media, you should get both the DVD1 and DVD2; specifically, assuming a 32-bit system (you mentioned trying on a Pentium 4 or Pentium D, so 64-bit may not be an option, and isn't really necessary for a 'lab' machine anyway; you do need as much memory as you can cram in that old Optiplex, with an absolute minimu of 1GB (and it's going to top out less than 4GB anyway)), you need to download, from a mirror: CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1.iso CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD2.iso While DVD2 is somewhat optional, it won't hurt to have it on hand just in case. The LiveDVD and LiveCD options boot up to a usable desktop, and you can install from them, but if you're wanting the *server* install experience you need the others, not the LiveDVD or LiveCD. Now, go give it a whirl, make sure you read the documentation on installation on the CentOS.org website, and come back in a few days when you've played with that installation a while. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is quick and easy to test a lot of different variations of things and emulate network connections under vmware, and relatively cheap to hold a bunch of images on a big disk or two. It will make learning a lot quicker. But, real hardware has its own quirks. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So, you have RT installed, but the web portion can't connect to the
database. Is the database running?

Re: [CentOS] How to setup a computer using CentOS6 as a firewall for the whole network in my place?
For a newbie one like me ... which option you would advise me to go for? I do not have any special preferences but I do care for the one that is more stable and provide really more security. It seems to me that the last line of my previous post already contained my answer to your question :-) I use Linux servers and a pfsense firewall to protect the network. Works like a charm, with amazing stability and reliability. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
