Hi all,

The first is for port forwarding, the second is said to be used for DMZ. But I

"man mii-tool"

Says it is obsolete and directs you to ethtool. "man ethtool" might be
your solution?

[CentOS] deny other hosts from synchronizing time with NTP client

[Simon Jolle]

Hi CentOS users

We are running CentOS 4.5 with NTP 4.2.0.

# cat /etc/ntp.conf
restrict default ignore
restrict dns1.xxx.xxx mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap noquery
restrict dns2.xxx.xxx mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1
server dns1.xxx.xxx
server dns2.xxx.xxx
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
authenticate no

The problem is that other hosts are able to synchronize the time from
our servers. How to disable that?

# lsof -i :123
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
ntpd4874  ntp4u  IPv4  35805   UDP *:ntp
ntpd4874  ntp5u  IPv6  35806   UDP *:ntp
ntpd4874  ntp6u  IPv4  35807   UDP localhost.localdomain:ntp
ntpd4874  ntp7u  IPv4  35808   UDP xxx:ntp
ntpd4874  ntp8u  IPv4  35809   UDP xxx:ntp
ntpd4874  ntp9u  IPv4  35810   UDP xxx:ntp
ntpd4874  ntp   10u  IPv4  35811   UDP xxx:ntp

NTP listens on every interface.

I know of neither. yum list "*jab*" only shows some perl-Jabber-*
packages, yum list "*irc*" gives back ircd-hybrid from the
kbs-CentOS-testing repository. So yes, ircd and jabberd aren't really in
CentOS. 

And I have no idea if ircd-hybrid is being able to interface into an
already existing user database, as it has its very own ways managing
"users".

Done.

[CentOS] Kickstart network settings problem

[Plant, Dean]

I would like one of my kickstart scripts to prompt for disk and
networking only. Commenting out the disk and network settings makes the
installer prompt for disk settings but not for network settings, they
default to DHCP. Any idea's how to fix this?

Not sure this works when run from an init script - I couldn't get it to

I think you need to have the network settings defined - something like:

network --bootproto static

If you don't give it an IP address (with the --ip option), then it will 
prompt for it. This is what I do for NFS installs - as my netmask, 
gateway and nameserver addresses are static, I also give these on the 
network line.

Does not work, still defaults to DHCP with no prompt. Also if it makes
any difference im using v5.1.

RE: [CentOS] Kickstart network settings problem

[Marc-Andre Levesque]

By looking at what is described in the documentation from upstream, I do not 
believe this is possible.

First, network is an optional directive in the kickstart file. Moreover, it 
defaults to dynamic IP address (bootp or dhcp) over the eth0 device. If you 
wish to configure static IP, the documentation says that you have to provide 
all the required networking information in the kickstart file. So I believe you 
would have to fill in the whole kickstart line with its bootproto, ip, netmask, 
gateway, and nameserver values.

Does not work, still defaults to DHCP with no prompt. Also if it makes
any difference im using v5.1.

I think you need to have the network settings defined - something
like: 


network --bootproto static

If you don't give it an IP address (with the --ip option), then it
will prompt for it. This is what I do for NFS installs - as my
netmask, gateway and nameserver addresses are static, I also give
these on the network line.

Hmmm, works OK for me with CentOS 4.X - however, I used a hacked version

loader2/loader.c i.e. make static IP the default ... however, I thought 
this was for non-kickstart installs only ... but may be it isn't.

I'm assuming you are using CentOS 5 here.  I'm not sure why upstream
disabled this feature -- it was very useful to be able to use kickstart
with a DHCP IP address initially, but still be prompted for network
information during the installer portion later (as it did in RHEL4).

See:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=401531

In addition, I have an RFE in with Upstream to re-add this feature and
I believe it's slated for inclusion in 5.2 with the --bootproto=query
option.

The attachment there however:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=291881

patches Anaconda to not skip the network step during installation.
I've been using this successfully here to "do what I need" while
waiting for the official fix.

You can include this in an updates.img file and have it loaded
automatically on installs.

Looks like it's a CentOS 5 feature/bug as I have just tested every
incarnation of the network line and they all get ignored unless I put in
the complete line as per Marc-Andre's post. This DID work in CentOS 4 as
long as the interactive line was specified.

are the first two lines a line that you tried and commented out and got

actually no.

I am currently using ejabberd and it is not common to authenticate
'real' users but certain possible. The methodology of authenticating
'real' users would entirely depend upon the jabber server software which
varies widely from perl to java to erlang.

The point of authenticating against LDAP is rarely do you only want
user/id authentication but you also want address books/user lists and
other attributes that can be useful such as e-mail address.

In addition, jabber servers do have to store attributes about users so
there's little to be served by marrying PAM functions in.

What you should have noticed here Les, is that Windows AD users are
mostly clueless to how LDAP works and integrating Windows AD/LDAP into
other software is a challenge for them.

IT WORKS!  Thanks so much Indunil!  Been trying to get this to work for days,
worked on my Centos 5.1 box (by substituting in my correct directory paths)
Success finally!

Why not just install OpenFire which has the AD <-> Jabber

I'm actually planning to re-do one of my servers which is providing
jabber and I will test out OpenFire...

Ejabberd works pretty well all things considered and was fairly trivial
to integrated into my OpenLDAP setup not only for authentication but to
build 'lists' of people automatically and to pick other LDAP attributes.

I thought one of the big deals in Centos was the ability to configure

settings?  Isn't that true, or aren't there any jabber/IRC servers that

I'm talking about jabber implementations. I get the impression from the
couple I have set up that the authors don't consider authenticating
'system users' aka 'real users' as their primary usage

any reasonable LDAP implementation allows you to define the DN (or DN's)
to be used for various purposes

You are simply looking through a lens that says corporate users,
corporate login accounts, etc. That's fine but I get the distinct
impression that it is hardly the typical setup.

A couple, currently used by small sets of people but it's likely to 
expand (the people, not necessarily the servers).  I want to set up at 
least one of them with OpenNMS spewing its notifications into a 
multiuser chat room that the network operators can join.

When someone mentions AD, I'd assume corporate users, existing logins,

MS-centric people managing it who may not want to help glue on some 
open-source parts.

[CentOS] mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /blah busy

[Al Sparks]

How do I go about troubeshooting this?  I'm using RHEL 4 update 6.

   mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /blah busy

It's actually an iSCSI LUN (NetApp filer).  I successfully configured (ext3) 
and mounted it, but when I rebooted, the /dev/sdb1 device/partition is seen by 
the kernel and it shows up with "fdisk -l".

Nevertheless I get that error.  I've tried "umount" and am informed that /blah 
isn't mounted.  I've tried "lsof" and don't find a process that's attached to 
/blah.

I also tried "fsck -t ext3 /dev/sdb1" which worked (so it detects the ext3 file 
system).

Any other tools to check out?

you just fatfingered something when setting up.

Hi,
Maybe this:
1. Remove the entry from /etc/fstab, reboot.
2. Try to mount it manually. If it works, then something's wrong with the 
iscsi startup.

Re: [CentOS] deny other hosts from synchronizing time with NTP client

Which other hosts? Other hosts in the same subnet as dns1 and dns2?

If that is the problem, maybe you should try changing "mask
255.255.255.0" to "mask 255.255.255.255". The "mask 255.255.255.0"
means all the class C subnet.

HTH,
Filipe

[CentOS] OT -Recommendations relating to a Password Safe

[Clint Dilks]

Hi Everyone

I am wondering if many people are using software that acts as a password 
safe.  And if so can you recommend any software in particular?


I know many people will disagree with this idea, and I myself have 
always followed the printed list stored in a secure location.  But in 
our particular situation keeping this single list current and correct 
while ensuring that regular password changes happen is turning into a 
nightmare.


Any suggestions welcome, have a nice day :)

Check out PasswordSafe and KeePass.  They are both very good.

The problem I see with those is that they admit only one master
password. That means if a team has to share a list of passwords, they
all have to know the same master password for the password safe.

The real solution to me is something like "gpg", where each user has
their own private key and you can encrypt a file with several public
keys, so that any one of the keys can decrypt it. However, "gpg" works
better on a Unix console type of environment, I don't know of good
front-ends for it, specially on Windows. PGP is an option, it's
commercial now though, the freeware version is not available anymore.
