It is a pain to work with especially with having to use full pathnames for commands instead of say just doing a "service httpd restart". But I figured it was better safe than sorry and as well as I can do since I could not figure out how to properly create a self-sign SSL cert.

If you use su only, you assume root privileges without the root environment. Rather do su - which gives you the full root environment, including path. The same holds for other users, i..e su - joe switches the user to the user joe with full environment. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've been plugging the ip address into the various bad_sender bad_host etc files in the exim configuration directory but it's still not ignoring it. The EXIM smpt/MTA will still accept the connection, then check and realize hey something's not quite right, then issue a reject before the VNSL machine terminates the connection. So the server's still wasting resources handling tens of thousands of such transaction and chewing up log space at the same time. Hence I have to resort to just blocking from iptables. Of course, it could very well be my own admitted incompetence that I'm doing something wrong here so Exim is not working the way I expect. I'm very very wary about messing any deeper with the mail settings because a server that's obviously dead to the world is much easier to notice than client emails mysteriously disappearing for days due to bad config before they realize it.

For several years now, I've used CentOS on my servers and fedora on my laptop and desktop computer. However, F6 and onwards have been a bit flaky to install, with myriad little things going wrong which needed some TLC which no beginner could possibly do. And just last month when I went to install F8 on my laptop since F7 was EOL, the darned thing consistently segfaulted, despite the media passing OK, and my laptop being a bog-standard 4 year old HP corporate centrino-powered which is certified RH3-compatible. The only way I could do it was via the LiveCD :/ And then I had lots of little things going wrong on the install like vital rpms not being installed by yum which I had to do by hand since yum refused to even acknowledge they were available. :-X In 6 months time I'll have to do it all again to install F9 which by many accounts is a POS, freezing up for several minutes at a time for no apparent reason. So IMO, having used Fedora since about FC3, stability is getting worse - each version is more and more on the bleeding edge, too unpolished, too unfinished - definitely not suitable for beginners unless they have someone to hold their hand and pick up the pieces. Ubuntu has its own problems. While it is slightly less cutting-edge than F9 and thus easier to install, the forums are huge and unwieldy. Every problem that one can possibly have, has already been answered by 100,000 + people in 10,000+ threads. The noobs outnumber the proficient users by 100 to 1, so finding the right solution to your problem is a real challenge in that 95% (my estimate) of the answers are wrong. So you'll spend a lot of time doing (and undoing) the advice given and backtracking from dead-ends. In stark contrast, this list has one of the highest signal-to-noise ratios I have ever encountered, and the standard of contributors makes me feel inadequate :/ However, IMO, CentOS is still slightly too old to be used on a modern laptop, but probably fine for use on a desktop where standby and power conservation is less important. Stability of CentOS is outstanding, but still not perfect - I remember one problem from last year when I was using CentOS on a desktop and Evolution refused to start after an update. It needed a small tweak which was supplied on-list. But this problem came from upstream so also affected RedHat. FWIW, I don't know what version of NetworkManager that CentOS uses, but the one used by F8 not only doesn't require wpa-supplicant to connect via WPA/WPA2 but many 'puters (such as my laptop) don't even need the network service running, since NW is now managing wired connections as well as wireless. It even integrates with OpenVPN now, although I am yet to try this. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I ended up being the classical distro-hopper for some time trying to find what would work for me, and I ended up using CentOS on my desktop workstation, and I use a small lesser-known distro called Foresight Linux on my Laptop - it's very up-to-date, has a unique and wonderful package manager and is far more stable than either Fedora or Ubuntu.

Re: [CentOS] Help: Server security compromised?
Hi, the more completely you lock down a server, the harder it will be for you to do some useful work on it. These matters require a balance between security and ease-of-use for the admins. Its especially important not to cut your bridges when administering a remote server. Despite many people advising to use keys and change ports etc etc, you really only need to do 3 things to stop dead any unauthorised SSH logins: 1. prevent direct root logins 2. create a user account (just for SSH logins) with an unusual name and give that account a very good password (20 character alphanumeric). Only allow that user to login via SSH. 3. give root a password of similar complexity. Doing just these three will ensure that not only will no-one ever be likely to get in via SSH, but you will be able to SSH in from anywhere from any computer. Furthermore, when doing any work with firewalls or ssh on a remote server, you must *always* have more than one SSH shell open. Don't close the last shell until you have tested your changes and are confident you won't lock yourself out. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks Steward and Robert for those suggestions, they make plenty of sense!. About the two SSH terminal, if I activate a wrong firewall change that blocks the SSH port, would it not also terminate the existing terminals since new packets going in would be rejected, or does it not affect already established TCP connections? Probably also going to make a script to shutdown the firewall as well as one for reboot.

The boot.iso file is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage. To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you normally would. The diskboot.img file is a VFAT filesystem image that can be written to a USB pendrive or other bootable media larger than a floppy. Note that booting via USB is dependent on your BIOS supporting this. It should be written to the device using dd. But if you can boot from USB you are all set. If you can only boot from floppy, you would need to use a bootable floppy linux that supports your network card to copy some stuff to the system and get it to boot the pxe images by whatever you can use like grub, or syslinux.

It depends upon what you are doing and in which order you do it. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in iptables - I refuse to spend time learning more than the basics on it, since I don't like it. IMO the structure and rules are byzantine and unnecessarily flexible/complex, so when fiddling about with the firewall, usually its just simple commands to open/close ports or do connection limiting/throttling, and I don't ever touch port 22. FWIW, when doing a complex task, instead of typing in commands in a terminal, I begin writing a script to do those commands. At the very same time I develop a 'rollback' script to undo those commands in case of error. Experimenting on a Centos 5.2 server which I have console access. Upon an error condition, I then modify the script, play the 'rollback' script, and reissue the script. So gradually the script and its 'antidote' are built to where I'm satisfied they work. Then and only then, do I use that script on production and remote servers which are also running CentOS 5.2 The only problem which my method is that getting these scripts to be 100% correct even in the face of malevolent conditions such as DNS timeouts and hardware errors makes them 2-3 times as long and yukky and hard to read. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
