[CentOS] Minor dovecot/KMail problem
I'm running a dovecot/IMAP server under CentOS-5.3 on my desktop, reading the mail with KMail on my laptop. I have what seems a venerable and well-documented problem/bug; when I click on Check Mail I get an error message Error while getting folder information ... Actually, this doesn't appear to have the slightest effect on kmail, which works perfectly if one just presses Continue. But I have worked out that the cause of the problem is that there exists a kind of ghost folder, uidvalidity, which is listed among the folders on the kmail page but does not in fact seem to exist in my maildir on the server. Deleting the folder under kmail has no permanent effect; it simply re-appears when I re-start kmail. I assume the folder is listed in some way in the dovecot.index ; and my question really is: if I delete this index file will it be re-created automatically? This bug/feature seems to have been present for years, which I suppose is par for KDE. To make it as difficult as possible to diagnose, the error message on the kmail page is incomplete, even when expanded to the whole screen. In particular it does not specify (on the visible part) what folder is causing the problem. Nor is the error listed with other dovecot information in /var/log/messages . Any suggestions/advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] card reader not responding
I saved pictures on an SD card with my Nokia phone (1 GB). Now, I'm trying to use the card on my Acer Aspire 3680 (laptop) running 5.3 and gnome. Popping the card in (until it clicks) evokes nothing from the system log or dmesg, and I don't see anything relevant in /dev. (What is the device for this?) lspci has this entry: 0a:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) I couldn't find anything in Cent's wiki (searching for card reader), so I tired Google's linux SE, and found this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64974 I tried all 3 modprobe lines (as root) - FATAL ... not found. So, one problem seems to be that I'm unfamiliar with modprobe; what's wrong? Do I need to install something? I should note that I'm not at all familiar with setting up new stuff like this. If I'm going at it wrong, please inform! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] card reader not responding
Michael Klinosky wrote: So, one problem seems to be that I'm unfamiliar with modprobe; what's wrong? Do I need to install something? In my experience at least many card readers that are integrated into laptops have compatibility issues with linux. It may be possible to get them working but often it is more difficult than it's worth and your better off with an external USB reader. In this case the FATAL messages mean the drivers aren't there. CentOS isn't really made to be a desktop OS, though it certainly can be used as one. The downside is that it's drivers are often much older or not available compared to systems like Ubuntu and Fedora. Though in general CentOS should be more stable, in part because it does not have those types of drivers, it'll get them when they are (hopefully) really solid and tested. You can try to find the drivers yourself and compile them from source but I think for you is probably more trouble than it's worth given my impression of your linux experience. I suggest just getting a compact USB SD card reader. Some phones like my Sanyo can present themselves as USB storage to a computer as well when connected. I'm not sure if your phone can, if so that could be another option. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] usb issue on my motherboard
I have found this http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10913 I am running that motherboard with 2.6.18-128.1.10 x86_64 and I have the USB issues. I dont really want to use a later kernel for a couple reasons one being the ATI Catalyst drivers dont work on later kernels (I tried on another machine). Is there a way to take 2.6.30 (just since its the current version)usb/host directory and compile it as a module for the 2.6.18-128.1.10 kernel and just replace the ehci_hcd driver? I extraced the 2.6.30 kernel, and was hoping to just cd drivers/usb/host and make. It says no tarkets found. How can I do that? THanks, I just want to compile the module.

Look at fail2ban for a method that will automatically add iptables blocks when this occurs. yes fail2ban is very useful. but also good to change to a non standard port. Thanks guys, The problem was solved after using a non standard port for ssh. but wht was confusing was that the secure logs of my mail server was showing ssh logs i passwordless login since backuppc needs it but using authorized keys but wonder how it was gettin through my firewall but also if i had to ssh from the outside network i could see the firewall droppin my ssh request quite confusing any for about 24 hrs i dont hav any ssh messages in my mail server secure logs regrads simon ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Ok - the curious / adventurous part of me wants to know if that's all I'd have to do. Not that I'm considering it ... well, maybe, down the road a ways. Really depends on the driver, it could be a really simple process but if the driver is integrated into the kernel then you either would have to upgrade the kernel manually to that version with the driver or try to bring the driver back into your kernel version which often times isn't trivial. I've been using linux since about 1995 and I wouldn't even try that these days. If the driver was available as a standalone tarball/source code it can't hurt to try to build it on your current kernel, but finding it could be tricky. Unlike video drivers, or network drivers, USB storage drivers don't seem too often to be made available as standalone packages for linux in my experience. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Program to ban sniffers
So I have been reading the ssh attack thread and finally want to ask about something. I doubt there is a program like this, but I would love to have a program that listens at common ports that I do not use at all...and only allow that program to listen to it, especially the usual ssh port (using a different one for real ssh)... That program would then, upon receiving a 'sniff' or 'user' would then add that ip to the deny hosts lists..for either a long or short time. Using this would seem like a win as you can easily grab someone before they can get somewhere one hopes. Also, by opening up a few other ports that are unusual like 8561well, if someone sniffs that it could be a 3 day ban or a month... In other words, anyone hitting those ports that are not being used at all except by our sniff protector, would allow instant banning. So...does something like this exist? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why would you sniff from your home computer? If you are the sysadmin, then you sniff from the server and from home you could ssh to your server to check logs of course. On a more technical note, you have to be on the same subnet of either the point of origin or the destination machine. In other words at one of the two choke points. That is short of having some tool installed on the other person's home computer which again crosses that line. You obviously can't be at the home user's choke point because what lawful authority would you have to be sniffing on that subnet owned by his ISP?

But if you are looking to set a date/time when it would expire, you could probably achieve this through a comment at the end of the entry containing the expiry date which your bash script would scan with a simple sed command looking for any lines with an expiry date matching the system's current date and removing those lines. fail2ban was also suggested by a few and I believe that was one I played with briefly a few years back and it worked but I wasn't using it in the scenario you describe but rather simply scanning for multiple failed ssh login attempts (not sure if it was looking for failed ssh login attempts, or Failed attempts period regardless the port being targeted) that resulted in a host.deny entry. But of course you can potentially lock yourself out (been there, done that) which is a p.i.t.a. You either have to wait until next day at the office to remove your ban, or try and get another IP from your ISP via disconnecting and reconnecting to your ISP.
