RE: [CentOS-docs] Encrypting tmp swap and home
Another post asked if I have a wiki account. The answer is no. I think that at this point it would be better if i did for this article. In response to some of the points by Tru: to be verified: you need to make a GUI install, the text mode installation method does not have the lvm creation feature. Very true, Tru. This detail is actually a hold-over from one of the documents that I used as a source. I have not actually tried a text-mode install but it should definitely be verified. imho, should be emphasized - and some figures hinted for the minimal size of sda3 (swap+/) Emphasis is not a problem. As for the size of sda3, I can try to clarify the sizes. The document states that sda3 should be smaller than what will become sda2 so that there is room for the encryption overhead, but as for the sizes of things such as swap and other partitions, the best I know to do is refer to CentOS/RedHat documentation. I am open to other suggestions. make patch file available a the command to apply it: wget http://../mkinitrd.patch -O /tmp/mkintrd.patch cd / patch -p1 /tmp/mkinitd.patch Is there a good place to make it available? Would something such as sourceforge be best? non dd version? vgextend + pvmove + vgreduce ? A quick google search found that this would be possible, but there is a trade-off. Section 4.1 of the page http://www.planamente.ch/emidio/docs/linux/dm-crypt/dm-crypt-4.html explains the trade-off. It's basically a single dm-crypt device with a single passphrase for the entire disk vs multiple dm-crypt devices each with it's own passphrase. If this type of option were to be added to the document, I think that it should probably go into the Optional Configurations section so that the main document can be a cookie-cutter step by step for people to follow. # pvresize –-setphysicalvolumesize [size of disk - /boot] /dev/mapper/lvm why not just pvresize /dev/mapper/lvm ? should it detect the size by itself? I believe that it will. I think I listed the command that way so that it would allude to the fact that you don't have to use the entire disk if you didn't want. You can increase the size of /dev/sda2 and still have some space on the disk for additional volumes, encrypted devices, etc. That's what the Optional Configurations area tries to detail a little more. NOTE: To make the encrypted system the default system, make the above lines the first block listed in grub.conf or set the default value True. I phrased that section with the intent that the original grub entries would be removed along with the unencrypted install in which case the entry for the encrypted system would end up with the at the default value of 0. # lvextend -L +[size to increase the volume] /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 same question, here (autodetection) if you only want to extend a single logical volume. lvextend /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 This was in case LVM was built with multiple logical volumes. You would want to specify the size of each volume that you want to increase so the first one doesn't take all space and leave no room for the others to grow. I probably need to clarify that point.

[CentOS] CGI configuration - second post
This is my second request for help with this problem. I have followed the suggestions given the first time and made some progress but I still have one final problem/question. I have two CGI scripts that don't work. One is the standard Set-Cookie, examples can be found all over the net, that sets a cookie and prints Your cookie name is set. The other is an automatic installation script that comes from commerce-cgi.com and is for installing their CGI shopping cart. Both of these scripts are now located in /var/www/cgi-bin/ and the folder and the scripts are set to apache:apache 755. BTW a setting of root:root also fails exactly the same way. If I run either of these scripts from a browser using www.domain.com it fails. If I run it from a browser using www.domain.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi or www.domain.com/cgi-bin/techtest.cgi it works. I have tried using a one line index.shtml file with that one line being either !--#include virtual=/cgi-bin/install.cgi-- or !--#exec cgi=/cgi-bin/install.cgi-- and they both fail. They do find and execute the script. The set cookie script prints the Your cookie name is set. message OK but the cookie is not sent to the browser. The install script loads the first HTML page ok but does not load the second page. I had a friend-of-a-friend IT guy that I trust look at everything. He hasn't found anything obvious. If he tries to run either of these scripts from his computer, it works OK. Can someone here help me understand why this is happening?

Is there a way to go round this problem?
I have CentOS 5.2.
I believe you gave a bad example!
In the command
rm -rf /var/amavis/tmp
the argument list is not at all very long.
However if you did:
rm -rf /var/amavis/tmp/*
then the argument list could be very long depending on the number of
entries there are in the subdirectory.
You have to understand that globbing is done by the shell before
starting the command. The result of the glob is what makes the
argument list too long; it needs to fit in a buffer (about
128K bytes on a default CentOS install I believe).
If you want the to remove the subfolders and files, and not the parent
folder itself, on CentOS 5, try this:
cd /var/amavis/tmp
rm -rf *
Doing a cd makes the resulting of the globbing much shorter, maybe
fixing your problem already.
If still too long, then try:
find . -maxdepth 1 -exec rm -rf {} +
You could even try things like:
cd /var/amavis/tmp
rm a*
rm *0
...etc...
Any glob pattern resulting in less arguments for the command to avoid
overflowing the 128K buffer is good.
On CentOS 4, the '+' variant of -exec does not exist, and you need to do:
find . -maxdepth 1 -exec rm -rf {} \; # one rm command for each arg
or
find . -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf # less resource intensive

2. The included packages are a subset of all packages available in the
CentOS distribution, however yum has been pre-configured to use the
entire repository.
3. In order to ensure that drivers and other third party apps maintain
compatibility, the package set used on the Server CD is from Release
time CentOS 4.7, you are strongly encouraged to run a 'yum update'
immediately after installation.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
The single CD server install for CentOS 4.7 / x86_64 has now been
released and is available from all active mirrors. The ISO is available

We appreciate all feedback, including RFE's and bug notifications.
Notes:
1. Since there are no 32bit packages included in this CD, the resulting
install will be 64bit clean.
2. The included packages are a subset of all packages available in the
CentOS distribution, however yum has been pre-configured to use the
entire repository.
3. In order to ensure that drivers and other third party apps maintain
compatibility, the package set used on the Server CD is from Release
time CentOS 4.7, you are strongly encouraged to run a 'yum update'
immediately after installation.
4. As some of you will notice, the iso size is lower than the 650mb
acceptable for a single CD. Feedback on what other packages should be
aded or removed from this Single CD for the next release are very welcome.
Enjoy!

Greetings to everyone! On Fedora I used to use djvulibre package for djvu files, but I cannot seem to find this in any CentOS repositores out there. Google also does not help, nor searching list archives. :-( I have found the .rpm file for RHEL 4, but when I tried to install it (hoping that it just might work) rpm refused to install with the error: file /usr/share/mimelnk/image/x-djvu.desktop from install of djvulibre-3.5.17-1.el4.rf conflicts with file from package kdelibs-3.5.4-16.el5.centos I' out of ideas.

[CentOS] Recommended Configuration Control Software?
We have several dozen production Linux servers and I would like to have better control over what files are changed, by whom, when they were changed, etc. Because these are all production servers that are in use 24x7, we do not have the luxury of simply doing a clean build, taking md5sums of each file, and then doing fresh installations. I need a system that can take in-place snapshots of each server's configuration files, store them in some kind of database or text file, and notify me whenever something changes.

Backups are always a good thing and a brute-force approach would be to rsync your /etc directories off to some other machine, perhaps using the backup-dir option to keep some old versions around. Running rsync with the -v and -n options will tell you if anything changed compared to the last copy. I'm surprised that there isn't a good tool built on top of one of the version control systems that could treat similar machines as branches, though.

Clients on Subnet B should obtain dynamic IP addresses from a range. The two subnets are not physically connected but a Client should be able to connect to Subnet A or to Subnet B as well. I'm no DHCP expert, but I believe that to accomplish what you are trying to do you have to run two separate dhcpd instances, one for each interface. You can do that by passing a parameter to dhcpd of which interface it should bind to. You will also need separate config files, lease files, pid files, etc. (it might be a PITA, but it's the only way I see that it can be done on the same host.) See man dhcpd for the details, but I think it would be something like: # dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpd-subnetA.conf -lf /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd-subnetA.leases -pf /var/run/dhcpd-subnetA.pid eth0 # dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpd-subnetB.conf -lf /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd-subnetB.leases -pf /var/run/dhcpd-subnetB.pid eth1 And then you will still have to deal with startup and shutdown, initscripts, SELinux, managing both processes, ... If you really want to go that route, you might consider running two VMs on that hardware, one for each network, it might prove to be simpler than running two instances of dhcpd in one host at the end.

I'm curious what the kernel included on the install disc supports, more than anything. We have a workstation configuration that we recommend to labs around the university. In the past few months we've migrated a large number of existing installations from Fedora to CentOS. Unfortunately, our current workstation setup doesn't have ethernet support in the 5.2 install kernel, which became a problem when we were creating a guide for labs to follow when installing CentOS. So, we need to ensure that the next recommended system will be supported by the install kernel as well as the post-install kernel (which I understand I can review in /boot/ config-version).

RE: [CentOS] DHCP static hosts and subnet configuration
Yes, because that up there contains exactly *one* IP address - so I'd hardly call that blocks. Where I'm from we call it Blocks or Ipaddy. :-) I have no idea what you are trying to tell me - you cannot subnet out one IP address to your PIX firewall. I wonder why I cant do that, seeing as have been doing it over 10 years. One often misguided approach to setting them up is, facing it directly into the open internet. Your as good as gone when someone hits up the ftp port on that shiny new PIX and tunnels right in. What I was trying to say was if you by 5 ip addresses you can take an address and subnet it out to other routers, switches and what ever else. There are lots of companys doing this these days because of the cost associated with them. Honestly this is all off topic from the original OP and what he needed, Those addresses were just randomly stuck in there for presentation example. Weather they right or wrong, he or she that is seeking the information should know to atleast to change that before using it. As for that I am not totally aware of what he really wants to accomplish. I in my later networking would not even use dhcp any more unless it was an install server. I would be doing it through Cisco PIX or Nortel. Simply because of the security record of cisco and nortel. But all in all CentOS gets my file services with samba as DFS and I hope to see a lot of progress on Directory Server. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
