Re: [CentOS] noexec tmp directory

Hi,

On Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 2:09 PM, Bob Hoffman wrote:

 Hello,
  
 I am fixing up a system for someone and they did not make a separate  
 partition for /tmp...but I want to make it noexec, nosuid.
  
 I came across a site that said I could skip all the mount/unmount and  
 new partition stuff (which would probably include downsizing a lvm to  
 make room for it)... by adding this in fstab
  
 /tmp /tmp bind nosuid,noexec,bind 0 0
  
 and then reboot...
 There is no /tmp in their fstab at the moment and I am afraid to test  
 this
 Is this a correct workaround to mount that folder as noexec?
 OR was this site wrong?


That should work.

But maybe it’s better to create a test machine/VM and try it there.

Or, don’t edit your fstab (yet). Just do it live and see if it worked:

# mount --bind /tmp /tmp
# mount -o remount,nosuid,noexec /tmp

That way, you know it’ll be back to the old settings when you reboot.

HTH,

[CentOS] Installing QEMU without KVM

2012-06-07 Thread Aft nix
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
I'm developing some kernel module, so i need a stand alone qemu to
test my kernel.

But yum install qemu fails. After yum search qemu , i get this :

gpxe-roms-qemu.noarch : Network boot loader roms supported by QEMU, .rom format
qemu-img.x86_64 : QEMU command line tool for manipulating disk images
libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64 : Sanlock lock manager plugin for QEMU driver
qemu-kvm.x86_64 : Userspace component of KVM
qemu-kvm-tools.x86_64 : KVM debugging and diagnostics tools
sheepdog.x86_64 : The Sheepdog Distributed Storage System for KVM/QEMU
vios-proxy.x86_64 : Network proxy between a QEMU host and QEMU guests using
  : virtioserial channels
vios-proxy-guest.x86_64 : Network proxy using virtioserial for QEMU guest
vios-proxy-host.x86_64 : Network proxy using virtioserial for QEMU host

But i do not need KVM or anything. I just need a stand alone qemu. I
then enabled optional repos like EPEL, RPMFUSION, RPMFORGE etc.

Although i've seen a qemu in rpmforge, still yum install qemu does not work.

I can build qemu from source, but i like installing packages from repositories.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Re: [CentOS] Installing QEMU without KVM

From: Aft nix aft...@gmail.com

 I'm developing some kernel module, so i need a stand alone qemu to
 test my kernel.
 Although i've seen a qemu in rpmforge, still yum install qemu does not work.

What do you mean by does not work?
Dependencies problems?

yes, of course, the hardware is defective. I was confused because I've

[CentOS] Worrying after IPv6 day...

2012-06-07 Thread John Doe
Hi,

after IPv6 day, I was wondering if our server were really secure...
And, I know we should switch on IPv6 everywhere but... it will take some time.


Usually, we disable(d) IPv6; so we are not running ip6tables.
Can I start ip6tables in all cases (even if only IPv4) just to be on the safe 
side?

On CentOS 6 servers, I use the --noipv6 in the kickstart files and I removed 
NetworkManager; but ifconfig still shows IPv6 adresses.
And I wonder from where it gets them... based on the MAC?

I guess they are not routable, so I should not get any traffic... right?

Thx,
JD

Your best bet with regard to protecting yourself from passing IPv6 
tunnelled traffic is to make sure you're blocking protocol 41. This will 
prevent rogue IPv6 tunnels forming across your IPv4 network. You don't 
need ip6tables to do this.


If your other managed endpoints are not running IPv6 and you're blocking 
protocol 41 (note this is not port 41, but _protocol_ 41) then you 
should mitigate most of the IPv6 issues. I would normally assume that 
your demarc points have a default policy to drop unknown / unspecified 
traffic.

 I get this output:

 myorigin = $myhostname
 
 Any ideas why it is not picking up the configuration?

What you should do is run postconf without paramaters to a file and
inspect that. In my case e.g. myorigin is set to $mydomain, but mydomain
is set to the correct value.

[CentOS] (?) Dual-monitor wallpapers on CEntOS 6

2012-06-07 Thread Jay Leafey
I've recently set up two workstations running CentOS 6, one with an 
nVidia card and the elrepo drivers and one with an ATI Radeon card with 
the elrepo fglrx drivers.  Both work well, but one aspect of the systems 
works different from CEntOS 5 on those systems:  I cannot get a 
wallpaper image to span the two monitors.  I have tried both with and 
without xinerama and there is no difference in this regard.  The 
specified wallpaper is displayed on both monitors.


Has anybody else run across this or a solution?  I freely admit, this is 
a trivial issue.  It's strictly an aesthetic matter and I'm curious as 
to why it doesn't work the same.  Just wonderin'

Yes, I am.  I used the nvidia-xconfig program to set the initial display 
configuration.  I believe I used the options --twinview 
--dynamic-twinview when I ran it.  Here's the relevant sections from 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:



Section Device
Identifier Device0
Driver nvidia
VendorName NVIDIA Corporation
BoardName  GeForce 8400 GS
EndSection

Section Screen
Identifier Screen0
Device Device0

Option TwinView 1

Option metamodes DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT: 
nvidia-auto-select +1920+0
SubSection Display
Depth   24
EndSubSection
EndSection


As you can see, I've got one monitor on the DVI connection and one on 
the VGA.  Both monitors are the same resolution, 1920x1080.


Oddly, it only shows one Monitor section in the file, the one for the 
DVI connection.  I believe this is an artefact of the dynamic-twinview 
option, the second monitor appears to be detected on-the-fly.


Any thoughts?

Sda/sdb are the kernel's conventions.  What matters is what bios sees.
 And that may be different depending not only on the hardware but also
the failure mode - sometimes a drive will fail but not really
disappear from detection and it is hard to emulate that.  Also, back
in ATA days it was pretty common for a failed drive to lock both
channels on the controller.

As long as you have physical access to the box you can fix it fairly
quickly by booting a rescue iso and re-installing grub, even if you
have to try a couple of times to get it right.

[CentOS] some security measures I would like to share

2012-06-07 Thread Bob Hoffman
I apologize for the html, but it is a copy from a web post I did.
I wanted to share this with list members and hope it helps others.
I tried not to be redundant and add things I have not seen posted before.
Always interested in constructive thoughts, better ideas, etc.
**


  *Security thoughts for server admins/webmasters*


I would like to add some security measures I like to use. These are not 
listed on security sites and I feel it is time someone posted this stuff.

This concerns programs/items used by webmasters/server admins on a very 
irregular basis. (not very often).

This list assumes you have an IPMI card with its own eth port or an 
onboard IPMI interface, both having video access.
Or accessing the shell of a virtual host to access virtual servers 
located on it. (if no IPMI)

Quote:
*PHPMYADMIN* - This is a wonderful tool for use by web programmers. Most 
security with this program lists just two protections.
a)Use htaccess to password protect, force SSL
b)Alias the folder from /phpmyadmin to something like /examp

This is where security measures, aside from keeping updated, seem to 
end. This is bad. There is more you can do to protect that access to 
your database.

PhpMyAdmin is a program you will use at times, but 99% of the time you 
will never touch it at all. So why would you leave it open to hackers 
all the time?
Simply disable the 'alias' in httpd to prevent it from being accessed.
For example in CentOS 6 the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf 
contains this directory information. (or something like it.)

I have added 'Deny from ALL and commented out 'Allow from ALL' and 
restarted httpd. (the allowoverride is allowing htaccess protection for 
the folder). You could comment out everything except the allowoverride 
and deny from all...

Quote:
Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/
*Order Deny,Allow*
Deny from All
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
*#Allow from All*
allowoverride All
/Directory

Once httpd is restarted no one can access the phpmyadmin folder if it is 
not in the html folder. (in centos 6 the program is usually located in 
/usr/share/phpmyadmin).

This prevents the hacking of your phpmyadmin program.
If you think about it, outside of a small fix or initial programming you 
will almost never use the program.

So why do you leave it open to everyone 24 hours a day?

*IPMI*
IPMI is great but if you are a webmaster you are probably leaving this 
open to the internet.

If you are local to the datacenter, or the datacenter is really cool, 
you can remove the eth cable from the ipmi port. And ask them to plug it 
in when there is an issue.

This only works if you have a separate ipmi card with its own eth port. 
(and helps if you tag the cable and port for the center)

I think most of us seldom, if ever, use our IPMI during the course of a 
year once the system is set up.

This prevents root access, IPMI card getting hacked, and still allows 
emergency access with a quick visit or a phone call


*IPMI, Virtual Host, Virtual Machines*

Quote:
*Your Virtual Host server*
I seldom ever need to go into my virtual host. It is set up correctly 
and I get my logwatches every day. I have no ports open up on it.

If I never use it, why would I leave a shell port open 24 hours a day? 
If I have an IPMI card I can log in and open that port. Then I can do 
what I need to do.

Safest, if IPMI is available (with video) is to comment out/disable the 
ssh port. On a virtual host you most likely use a physical bridge. This 
means nothing is touching the host. Great Security tip.


Quote:
*Virtual Machines- DNS*
Are your DNS servers virtual machines on a server (or on a dedicated 
with an IPMI card in it)? I bet you never access shell except to make 
that very rare dns change. And if you use rndc you never use shell.
If you have IPMI with video disable ssh port. Enable it via IPMI on 
those very rare instances you need to access it.
Logwatch can still send out.
Only port 53 should be open 24 hours a day (and if rndc that port 
too...and 5353 if you are doing that.)

There is no reason to leave this system open to the net at all. Enable 
shell when you need it and then disable when done.
You do not need to open port 25 (or any port) to send emails out of the 
system.

So why do you leave port 22 (or other shell port) on 24 hours a day if 
you never ever use it?

Quote:
*MYSQL servers*
Again, if on a virtual host or even its own dedicated disable port 22 
(ssh port) and only enable via IPMI on those rare times you need to use it.

Quote:
*Your website/webserver*
The same issue remains. Outside of the times you are using shell OR 
FTP...these ports should be disabled. Enable using IPMI.

This simple act prevents a lot of hack attempts, log filling, and gives 
massive peace of mind.

Yes, you use shell and ftpbut not that much. Think about it.
You might use ftp and shell a lot, but you are leaving those ports open

 If you are building a web application you should use a mysql user that

 With proper programming you can set up items to be deleted via a cron
 job using a mysql user that has a bit more access.

 This prevents a hacker from actually deleting or altering any
 dataand easily rolled back.

 This is how I program and I think it should be standard. As far as I
 know not one single program does this...and that is a shame.
Sorry, I meant select and insert only.

Re: [CentOS] (?) Dual-monitor wallpapers on CEntOS 6

2012-06-07 Thread Jay Leafey
A bit more Googling found the answer:  it is a regression caused by a 
fix in Gnome to fix a reported problem where some individuals found it 
too difficult to create dual-monitor wallpapers.  Apparently there are 
some patches available to the control-center package that will add a 
spanning option to the desktop background control, but Red Hat NAKed 
the change for 6.1.  Apparently this is available in Fedora 12, but the 
option is missing in RHEL 6.  See 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616701 for the response.


I may try to rebuild the control-center RPM with the patches when I get 
some time.  I'll post here if I make any progress.

 Sda/sdb are the kernel's conventions.  What matters is what bios sees.
  And that may be different depending not only on the hardware but also
 the failure mode - sometimes a drive will fail but not really
 disappear from detection and it is hard to emulate that.  Also, back
 in ATA days it was pretty common for a failed drive to lock both
 channels on the controller.

 As long as you have physical access to the box you can fix it fairly
 quickly by booting a rescue iso and re-installing grub, even if you
 have to try a couple of times to get it right.

And if the server is colocated, but you have remote console access, you
can leave a recovery CD in the drive, but set the boot order to boot the
hard drive and then remotely change the boot order if you have problems.
