2008-01-31 Thread Alexander López Lapo
Hola a todos, alguien me puede comentar si tienen algun servidor proxy 
montado sobre Centos 5. Ya que me gustaria migrar mi servidor.  Además 
de implementarle algo acerca de control de ancho de banda ya que tengo 
usuarios que me estan comiendo el ancho de banda. Ustedes que me pueden 
recomendar y donde puedo encontrar más información. Les agradezco mucho

Re: [CentOS-es] PROBLEMA DE PRIVILEGIOS DE USUARIOS EN SAMBA PDC

2008-01-31 Thread Andre Aspée




No, he creado el usuario en la maquina, lo creo en el samba pdc.
Encontre una forma de pasar el problema y es dando privilegios de
acceso a las carpetas que solicitan los programas, dejando que puedan
tener lectura y escritura los "usuarios autentificados"
Lo de crear el usuario en la maquina, eso es lo que no quiero, de ser
asi sigo trabajando con grupo de trabajo, y creando usuarios locales.

  Hola,

Tengo un samba PDC, registro maquinas y usuarios que logran logearse
correctamente. Todos los clientes seran winXP. Esoty haciendo las
pruebas para comprobar los privilegios de usuarios segun los grupos que
les asigno en el samba PDC.
En el equipo que inicia sesion no tiene los privilegios necesarios para,
por ejemplo: instalar programas, cambiar configuracion de las conexiones
de red,Y mas problema aun, cuando ejecuto algunos programas (nuestro
ERP) no lo deja por que no tiene el permiso para leer y escribir en la
carpeta del SW. Es decir, inicia sesion, pero solo como un usuario
restringido o invitado.
Para que pueda el usuario utilizar el ERP, tengo que hacer que el
usuario sea parte de "Admins. del dominio", con el consiguiente problema
de que puede instalar y cambiar configuraciones del equipo a su antojo.
Me gustaria lograr tener un tipo de usuario del dominio que pueda leer y
escribir en las carpetas de los programas, sin ser administrador del
dominio, que no pueda modificar parametros de red, ni instalar
programas.
Se me ocurrio mapear un grupo Usuarios avanzado del dominio, y colocarle
como sid S-1-5-32-SAmbaSID-547, pero el usuario al ser agregado a este
grupo, queda como un usuario igual de restringido.
Alguna sugerencia???

Gracias

 Hola colisteros,
resulta que estoy intentando configurar en una máquina con CentOS 5.1

He puesto la misma configuración que en FC5, pero en CentOS 5.1 no
 funciona.

Mi idea es poder tener acceso a través de terminales Xvnc a una
 máquina. Lo que tengo hecho es:
1) Agregado el servicio vnc800 al /etc/services.
2) Preparado el servicio en /etc/xinetd.d/vnc800
3) Abierto el puerto con IPTABLES (system-config-security)
4) Editado /etc/xinetd.d/vnc800 con el siguiente contenido:
 service vnc800
 {
 disable = no
 socket_type = stream
 protocol= tcp
 wait= no
 user= nobody
 server  = /usr/bin/Xvnc
 server_args = -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -geometry 800x600 -depth
 16
 -once -fp unix/:7100 -securitytypes=VncAuth
 -passwordfile=/root/.vnc/passwd -idletimeout=300 -alwaysshared
 -desktop=PC
 }

5) Reiniciado xinetd.

 Bien, todo parece funcionar, pero cuando desde el cliente introduzco la
 contraseña parece que el servidor no sabe encontrar el fichero
 /root/.vnc/passwd y sí está configurado previamente con vncpasswd.

 ¿Alguien podría echarme un cable para saber por qué con FC5 sí funciona
 esta configuración pero con CentOS 5.1 no funciona?

 Como nota adicional, indicar que el puerto es el 5901, porque en el 5900
 tengo configurado el acceso normal por VNC a la máquina (a través de
 xorg.conf).

 Salu2

[CentOS] ISCSI help

2008-01-31 Thread Plant, Dean
I am fairly new to ISCSI and SAN technology but having recently invested
in the technology I am trying to find out exactly what can and can not
be manipulated, filesystem wise, without requiring a reboot. I am using
the inbuilt software ISCSI initiator and multipathing in CentOS 5.1.

My steps so far.

Create 10GB volume on SAN
# iscsiadm -m session -R
# fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath0
# kpartx -a /dev/mapper/mpath0
# mke2fs -j /dev/mapper/mpath0p1
# mount /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 /test-mount --works fine to here--

Now I want to extend the volume on the SAN to 15GB run fdisk and use
resize2fs to extend the filesystem, is this possible without a reboot?
Currently, I don't seem to be able to get fdisk to see the new disk size
after extending the volume. I know this can be done using LVM if I
created 2 volumes rather than extending but I am curious to know if it
can be done without LVM.

Any other tips about what can be done with ISCSI would be welcome.

Thanks

Dean

 nfs explains the differences between v3 and v4. In
 Documentation/filesystems there aren't any caveats either.

Well, although it's been a millennium, I seem to recall using that
option for NFS mounts in the past. His curiosity piqued, the sleuth is
irresistibly drawn into a brief diversion from his pastime to see what
can be discovered!.

Hmmm... from man mount

 Edited for readability 
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma
   separated string of options. Some of these options are only
   useful when they appear in the /etc/fstab file. The following
   options apply to any file system that is being mounted

--- (but not every file system actually honors them - e.g., the sync
   option today has effect only for ext2, ext3, fat, vfat and ufs):



From man nfs, following Options for the nfs file system type and for
the NFS4 section as well, there is no mention of (no)atime.

Johnny's attempted tests, IIRC, erred when attempting to use it, but
there were other options so it is not conclusive.

Logical, but possibly erroneous conclusion: unsupported. However, I know
that man pages can be incomplete, inaccurate and ambiguous. So what does
one do?

$ grep -irl atime /usr/share/system-config-nfs

And as a check I didn't goofus the previous command:

$ grep -irl sync /usr/share/system-config-nfs
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/propertiesWindow.py
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/nfsBackend.pyc
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/nfs-export.pyc
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/propertiesWindow.pyc
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/nfsData.py
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/nfsData.pyc
/usr/share/system-config-nfs/nfs-export.py
$

Ahhh... but still, maybe it's just not included in the default setup
scripts.

$ (cd /usr/share/doc/; grep -irl atime system-config-nfs* libnfsidmap*)
$ (cd /usr/share/doc/; grep -irl sync system-config-nfs* libnfsidmap*)
system-config-nfs-1.2.8/config.html
$


 
 Anyways, we didn't change mount options when upping the kernel.

Still, we can't believe that an option you've never changed, and
apparently worked before, and is not specifically (in)excluded as
(un)supported is unsupported now. :-(

I'm *not* being wise-ass, just acknowledging that sometimes all locally
available (excluding read the SOURCE Luke!) references does not tell
us all that we may need to know. So I go googling... and see refs all
over the place that indicate noatime is being used.

There are admonishments, such as no -o, separate options with commas
and no spaces, etc.

Maybe there is an answer in the Googlevers? Maybe support for it has
been dropped (I hope not).

Last,

$ rpm -q --changelog nfs-utils|grep -i atime

No joy in Mudville.

Anyway, my curiosity has *not* been satisfied, but I've got other
interests pulling at me now.

BTW: man mount points out that some of the commands are only effective
when invoked within the /etc/fstab. JIC.

[CentOS] VMWare 6.02 and Linux screen saver?

2008-01-31 Thread Scott Ehrlich
I have a user who freshly installed CentOS on their desktop.  They also 
installed VMWare 6.02.


When they click the mouse on their Linux desktop, the screen saver properly 
activates.  But, when they click the mouse in their VMWare session, the Linux 
screen saver never activates.  This has been tried for both VMWare Player and 
Workstation.


I don't know if it makes any difference, but the VMWare Guest OS is Windows XP 
w/SP2.


Thanks for any insight.

Without a reboot of the centos, certainly; just restart the iscsi service!
Without stopping the iscsi ? Probably, take a look at the iscsiadm manual.


 My steps so far.

 Create 10GB volume on SAN
 # iscsiadm -m session -R

 # fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath0

You dont need to create additional partition, just use
/dev/mapper/mpath0 instead of /dev/mapper/mpath1 !

 Currently, I don't seem to be able to get fdisk to see the new disk size
 after extending the volume. I know this can be done using LVM if I
 created 2 volumes rather than extending but I am curious to know if it
 can be done without LVM.

If you want to do the job without dismounting the ext3 partition, this
is an interesting challenge. Because with LVM this is too easy :-)


 Any other tips about what can be done with ISCSI would be welcome.

 Thanks

 Dean

killed.

At various times I have used different methods for stopping/starting

I used the statement eval `gpg-agent --daemon` in .bash_profile.  I've

Unrelated, but still kind of related, I'm only replying because of
how crazy I went trying to track it down. But I had major NFS client
issues on CentOS 4.5, specifically kernels after 2.6.9-55.ELsmp. Even
under pretty light load, after seemingly random periods of time NFS
write performance would go down 99.9%. Read performance was fine.
Downgrade the kernel and it worked fine again. Eventually for servers
that ran our critical apps for NFS I just upgraded them to CentOS 5.1
and there is no problems there for us at least.

Spent several weeks researching the problem but never found a solution,
since it took so long to reproduce(up to 24 hours typically), testing
different configurations was very time consuming.

And no I haven't filed any bug reports or anything as I wanted to
try to narrow it down further to find the source before that. But
I ran out of time, and the kernel in CentOS 5.1 seems to work fine.
(migrated production systems to it about 6 weeks ago)

The newer kernel didn't/does not affect the NFS servers at all,
as they are all running CentOS 4.5 with 2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp, it's
purely a client-side issue.

[CentOS] Help with authenticating against Active Directory.

2008-01-31 Thread Milton Calnek

Hello all,

I'm trying to authenticate shell login's against an MS-ADS.  I don't 
have admin access to the ADS, but I can talk to the admins.


I have gotten as far as getting authentication working, but the uid's 
depend on the order of login.  ie: the first guy to login gets 1, 
the next gets 10001, etc.  The problem I have with this is that I want 
to share the home directories via nfs, which means everyone has to have 
the same id.


Is anyone else doing this?

My smb.conf and nsswitch.conf files are below.

Re: [CentOS] One approach to dealing with SSH brute force attacks.

2008-01-31 Thread Warren Young

James B. Byrne wrote:


I am not a fan of security through obscurity.  


You're diluting a useful phrase.

It originally referred to practices where obscurity was the _only_ 
source of security.  As soon as you saw through the obscurity, there was 
no security.  Of course, this means that there was no real security to 
begin with.  Hiding telnet by changing its listening port would be 
security through obscurity.


Changing ssh's service port is not at all the same thing.  If you get 
past this bit of obscurity, security remains.  To employ another popular 
phrase, it's defense in depth.  The more walls you can throw up, the 
less stress on the final wall that stops the attack.


If you don't like those arguments, the CPU usage difference should 
matter to you.  Your system can reject (or ignore) a connection to an 
unused port with a lot less CPU power than it takes to reject a login 
attempt, especially to a cryptographically protected service.  And, the 
post that started this says there's a 96% chance that the port rejection 
runs the attacker off completely, whereas a password rejection just 
invites another attempt.  So, one TCP RST packet vs. several thousand 
login attempts.  Which would you rather allocate CPU resources for?

Re: [CentOS] Help with authenticating against Active Directory.

What I did was create the users in /etc/passwd with the same username
as you would find in the AD.

Then, its just a matter of enabling Kerberos authentication, and using
the Domain Controllers as KDC's.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but its simple and effective.  No
samba involved.

 I have a user who freshly installed CentOS on their desktop.  They also

 When they click the mouse on their Linux desktop, the screen saver properly

 screen saver never activates.  This has been tried for both VMWare Player and

 I don't know if it makes any difference, but the VMWare Guest OS is Windows XP
 w/SP2.


Forgive my confusion, but are you saying that your screen saver
de-activates when you click the mouse over your Linux but not Windows?
 Wait, that doesn't make sense either.

The screen saver should activate after your specified timeout, or if
you lock the screen via a keyboard shortcut or panel launcher or
navigating the system menu to lock the screen.  Only the keyboard
shortcut can be effective with the mouse cursor in the guest OS
window because the mouse would have to move outside that window to
activate the screen saver directly.

Or are you talking about the guest screen saver (which also does not
make sense)?

For the record, while your cursor is in the VMWare guest OS window, it
is disconnected from the host's responses until you either type
ctrlalt or move the mouse out of the VMWare window (which you can
only do if you have installed VMWare tools in the guest OS).

That's normal.

Re: [CentOS] centosplus + priority plugin

2008-01-31 Thread Christopher Chan


That should mostly work ... the only problem is that there might be some 
perl* things in centosplus that might not SPECIFICALLY be part of the 
new web stack and they will also be taken from the plus repo.


It should not make a huge difference though.



Actually, it did not work. I had to remove the mysql package first 
before I could get the yum update to run. It complained of conflicts 
with the mysql 4.1 package.

[CentOS] swapping on centos 5.1

2008-01-31 Thread Jerry Geis

Hi all,

I used to use centos 4.5 on an AMD 4800+ with 2GIG ram.
Now I use centos 5.1 on AMD 6400+ with 4GIG RAM.

The system responsiveness is different between the two.
I noticed that centos 5.1 seems to be swapping programs out
of memory at times resulting in slowness (perceived by me).

I played with swappiness (/proc/sys/vm/) setting to 10, then 1 then 0.
Still resulted in the same perceived slowness.
Today I did swapoff -a and now the system obviously does not swap
anything out all all. I thought thats what swappiness of 0 would have done.

Are others experiencing this also? The perceived slowness maks the older
system with less RAM and slower CPU seem faster.

Any suggestions on other things to try?

Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Help with authenticating against Active Directory.

 Hello all,

 I'm trying to authenticate shell login's against an MS-ADS.  I don't
 have admin access to the ADS, but I can talk to the admins.

 I have gotten as far as getting authentication working, but the uid's
 depend on the order of login.  ie: the first guy to login gets 1,
 the next gets 10001, etc.  The problem I have with this is that I want
 to share the home directories via nfs, which means everyone has to have
 the same id.

Don't use Samba.

Microsoft Services For UNIX or 2003R2 support UNIX attributes in
Active Directory. It adds a new tab in the user account properties
where you can specify login shell, home directory, uid, gid.

On the CentOS side use nss_ldap.

This is a true single sign-on configuration with no /etc/passwd monkey
business. We use it for   database application auth and limited shell
access. It just works, failures are rare.

Configuration details are left as an exercise for the OP as I have had
a long day and a couple glasses of wine

This depends how you start firefox.  The /usr/bin/firefox script will
always start the 64 bit version if it is installed.
If contains a check that sets MOZ_LIB_DIR to use the 64 bit version:

MOZ_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib
if [ -x /usr/lib64/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin ]
then
  MOZ_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib64
fi

You may need to intervene here to use the 32 bit version.  A simple
check when firefox is running is to do:

$ ps -ef | grep firefox

this will return lines containing either:
/usr/lib64/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin
which is the 64 bit version, or
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin
which is the 32 bit version.
If you edit /usr/bin/firefox directly to prevent it from using the 64
bit version it will work for all users, but you need to redo it with
every firefox update.  If you copy this to for
example /usr/bin/firefox32 you need to manually create a shortcut to
start firefox for all affected users.  (If you update the original menu
entry it may well be replaced with an update - I have not tested this.)
I tend to update a shortcut on the panel, which is more convenient to
use.

Re: [CentOS] Re: rsync and swapping

2008-01-31 Thread Robert

on 1/30/2008 5:24 AM Jerry Geis spake the following:

hi all,

I use rsync to copy/backup ALL my stuff to another disk.

When I run this seems like my machine (4 GIG ram centos 5.1)
now begins to swap out more programs. Is there a way to reduce
that swapping? I am running with echo 1  /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

I simply mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup; mkdir /mnt/backup/month.day.year
then rsync -a /home /mnt/backup/mon.day.year

This is approximately 102G of data.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jerry
Rsync's main benefit is on backups of changed files. dumping to a new 
destination every time makes rsync less efficient than just about 
every other option.
Now if you made the new directory, and hardlinked the old stuff to the 
new directory, then rsync would shine.

Yes. That's my experience, too.
I do something like this twice weekly to 2 external USB drives. One 
drive contains backups from the most recent 2 Sunday mornings, the other 
drive contains two backups from Wednesday mornings.
After mounting the backup drive, doing a space-available check and a 
couple other housekeeping chores, I do this.
# (I've purposely left out a bunch of stuff to avoid being blamed when 
someone's system craters. )


$UD  #-- Previously identified as the USB drive mount point
#
DT=`date +%F` #-- Today's date, for naming the backup directory: -mm-dd
#
# Shuffle directories so that oldest backup directory is renamed to 
today's date.

#
OD=`ls -1 $UD | head -1`
#echo Renaming $UD/$OD to $UD/$DT
mv $UD/$OD/ $UD/$DT
touch $UD/$DT

# Now, data that is only 2 weeks old will be overwritten with current data.

for SD in list of directories to back up ; do
rsync -ar --exclude '*.iso' --delete-excluded  /$SD/* $UD/$DT/$SD
done

#  I've used the basic outline above since Sept 13, 2006 and have found 
that the backup takes slightly more than half as long as when I used 
find and cpio.  As with anything else, YMMV.
