Re: [CentOS-virt] Unable to Login to AWS AMI With SSH Key - aarch64

2021-03-15 Thread David Lemcoe
I have resolved my “issue.” It would appear that CentOS 8 Stream for aarch64 
does not support `t4g.nano` instance sizes. Once I moved to t4g.small, my SSH 
login worked as expected.

Sorry to bother!

[CentOS-virt] Unable to Login to AWS AMI With SSH Key - aarch64

2021-03-15 Thread David Lemcoe
When launching CentOS Stream for aarch64 in us-east-1 using the 
CentOS-sponsored AMI (ami-0a311be1169cd6581, found at 
https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS <https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS>) I am 
able to launch the EC2 instance using a Gravitron2 processor, as expected. 
However, when attempting to login to that instance, I get a password prompt for 
the ec2-user, centos, and root users. 

This behavior is not expected, because on the x86_64 AMIs the centos user is 
configured to use the SSH key selected in the AWS EC2 Launch Wizard, and a SSH 
login password is not required. 

In the aarch64 AMI, the centos and root usernames all prompt for password, and 
never seem to consider the provided SSH key.

This is the SSH command that I am using:

ssh -i ssh_key_selected_at_launch.pem centos@

This command results in a password prompt.

What is the process for connecting to the CentOS Stream AMI spun for aarch64?

Thank you!

David Lemcoe Jr.

 Mailman is kind of the defacto standard list manager these days, indeed,

 the project site is  http://www.list.org/ with the documentation and such.

 its in the EL5 and I assume EL6 standard repositories, so...

 yum install mailman

 suffices to install it and set it up.  it uses a service called,
 naturally, mailman

 chkconfig mailman on
 service mailman start

 except I think the installation does this automatically.

 oddly, In the rhel/centos install, all the management tools are in
 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/ which isn't in the normal path, but you only need
 these to create new lists and such, pretty much everything else is done
 through a simple web interface..

 the web interface for users and list moderators will default to
 http://yourhost.domain.com/mailman/listinfo  if you don't dink around
 with vhost records.

 Because I needed the 6.0 versions of dhcpd and named for some IPv6 testing
 I was
 doing, I grabbed Scientific Linux 6.0 right after it was released.  I also
 signed up for the SL mailing list.  A couple of weeks ago (June 20th or so)
 the
 SL folks announced the availability of SL 5.6.  I would interpret this as
 the SL
 team chose to work on 6.0 and left 5.6 for later while the CentOS team
 worked on
 5.6 and left 6.0 for later.

 I have no insight into what level of support the SL folks get from their
 sponsoring organization (CERN and Fermilab) but as far as I'm concerned
 getting
 the two releases out (5.6 and 6.0) was a dead heat between the two
 distributions.  This is especially true if you consider that the SL team
 had the
 benefit of the CentOS team's experience with 5.6.  I mention this because
 it
 indicates to me that the CentOS process isn't broken.  On the other hand,
 if not
 getting 5.6 and 6.0 out sooner gets more people involved in helping, it may
 have
 long term benefits.

 These are just my observations on two different teams working to release
 the
 same two releases.  Carefully consider what changes you make to the release
 process.  Oh yeah, great job guys and, yes, I'll be moving the SL 6 boxes
 and
 VMs back to CentOS as time allows mainly because the community just isn't
 there
 for SL (most days the mailing list only has a dozen or so posts; most of
 them
 not very technical).

[CentOS] NAT/DHCP/DNS/etc Settings from a Windows 2003 Server

2010-04-08 Thread David Lemcoe
Hello all. I'm in the process of making a small server farm based mostly on
Windows Server 2003. For simplicity's sake, the only non-2003 server will be
a CentOS 5.4 server running only vsftpd, httpd, and mysqld. My plan is to
have this server in a 2003 Server's network receiving a DHCP address from
the Domain Controller.

Currently, I have two other (non-DC) servers running with no issues on the
domain. NAT works as it should, and internet access is just fine. The CentOS
box on the same network will not receive an IP address (only through static
configuration, the non-DC 2003 boxes have no problem receiving an IP and DNS
settings with auto settings) or get online. Even when defining a static IP
on the CentOS box, there is no Internet access, unlike to the other clients.
My question is, what could be restricting the DHCP and DNS information to
the CentOS host, and why can't I access the internet/NAT forward a web
server?

To summarize, I have four machines involved, all located on the same
network:

   - Machine 1 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain Controller, DHCP
   server, DNS server, NAT server.
   - Machine 2 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain member, Exchange
   server.
   - Receives DHCP and DNS information with automatic network settings.
  - Has internet access through NAT.
  - NAT forwards ports to this host.
  - Machine 3 - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - Domain member,
   Sharepoint Server.
   - Receives DHCP and DNS information with automatic network settings.
  - Has internet access through NAT.
  - NAT forwards ports to this host.
  - *Machine 4* - CentOS 5.4 - On same network as other clients, hosts
   web server.
  - Does *NOT *receive DHCP address or DNS information.
  - Has *no *internet access
  - NAT does *NOT *forward correctly.

I am looking for a solution to get the CentOS server on the network like the
other clients.

Any assistance on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  Centos works normally with standard DHCP servers and obviously would

 The only thing I can think of on the Linux side are firewall rules.

[CentOS] Processes to disable

I was told by some more-experienced Cent users that there are a bunch
of processes I should kill and get out of the startup folder. He said
that Cent (even with a small install) has a bunch of processes that
really aren't needed and just burn up processes. Which ones should I

 I have my systems configured so yum is allowed to download and install
 new kernels, but don't usually reboot unless I want the specific thing
 the new kernel fixed, or have to reboot for some other reason.  This
 saves me some hassle in rebuilding third-party drivers.

 Windows boxes have to reboot on almost every upgrade because the file
 I/O semantics don't allow replacing files that are in use, except in
 some very limited cases.  Windows has a feature that *ix type boxes
 don't need, which is that a program can schedule a file to be replaced
 on the next reboot.  It's part of the move file API.  Installers do
 this when they try to replace a file and fail, which is why an installer
 might not always prompt for a reboot on completion; it depends on
 whether the program was running when you ran the installer.  This is
 also why so many Windows installers demand that you shut everything else
 down while you install the program.  They're trying to help you out.

 I bring this seemingly off-topic thing up here because it's why a lot of
 people get the idea that upgrades mean reboots.  It simply isn't usually
 needed in the *ix world.  It's why my uptime records for *ix boxes are
 over a year, while my Windows boxes rarely stay up for a full month and
 almost never beyond that due to Patch Tuesday.

Re: [CentOS] Processes to disable

2009-04-09 Thread David Lemcoe
Thanks for the tool. I have two servers, a just Apache/FTP and a
MySQL. I was told that I can basically have NOTHING except for the
daemon running, but that seems a little extreme :)

Thanks again,

David

 Depends on what you've installed and what you need.

 Serviceconf is a nice way of graphically checking what background and
 on-demand services are configured for your system and what they are.

 If you don't need MySQL or Web servers, you should have not installed
 them from start. :-)

Re: [CentOS] What is writing to my filesystem

The only thing I know that will give you a instant snapshot of what's
happening is mtop. It shows you whayt apps are using your harddrive
very similar to top with processes.

 I have a CentOS 5.2 box that every few months runs out of drivespace on

 files, but don't remember what they were or what wrote to them. The
 applications I'm aware of on the box don't write to /.

 Is there a way to find the files that get written to the most, or grow
 the most over time? Doing a df gives me a snapshot, but it seems clunky
 to keep track of the diff on that output over time. I can then see what
 processes write to them. Any other ideas on how to investigate this are
 welcome.

 Thanks much.

Oh my. I apologize so much. It's iotop I was looking to refer to. They
both operate so similarly.

Sorry again,

   mtop is MySQL-Top; how will that help the original poster?

 post install reboot, you would normally get a text/graphical UI that
 lets you setup firewall policy, selinux policy amongst other things.
 Just add port 80 to the list of ports you'd want open on all interfaces.

 its still broken.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS automatically blocks port 80 out-of-the-box

2009-04-07 Thread David Lemcoe
Thank you for the reply. I think it's server, and even though I
select that, it is still blocked.

I mentioned being able to ping it because I thought it was a NIC
problem or something, because apache didn't work when I started it.

Thanks agin for the reply!

 Is there a particular reason for this? Or is it a fail on my end?

 Very few ports are open out of the box.
 I'm not sure, but I think if you choose the webserver (or is it server
 ??) option at install it might have port 80 open.

 Port 22 is open for ssh. I think 631 (cups) is as well, but not positive.

 You can configure the firewall with system-config-securitylevel-tui
 after install (it runs during firstboot as well) where you can easily
 tell it to turn on port 80 (and/or 443) for web services.

 pinging a box has nothing to do with ports are blocked, open, or closed.
 You can filter pings but I don't believe the firewall does by default.

 What does ``lsof -n -i:80'' show?  Perhaps the server is running,
 but listening only on 127.0.0.1, localhost?

No I figured it out, thank you!

[CentOS] Issues with vsftpd install

For an unrelated reason, I had to uninstall vsftpd from my CentOS 5.3

From what I can see, this looks like an error with Python 2.4, but I don't

Any help?
