 I believe this 'rule' in English is misunderstood by many and as a
 general rule of thumb...  tl;dr: Words from Old English that came into
 modern English, use 'Old English' pluralisation: eg, sheep, fish etc.
 words adopted from other languages into English before and after
 modern English established, use 'modern' pluralisation eg, tsunamis,
 octopuses.

rant As 'virus' was adopted into English for usage in relation to
bugs, malwares etc. after the formation of modern English, the plural
of computer virus is computer viruses. IMO, in a medical sense, the
virus was first described in the 1890 - well after the formation of
modern English so even then the plural of virus in English is viruses.

I agree entirely. Also relevant is the fact that the Latin word 'virus'
does not admit a plural form.


 Reasoning: If one had to learn the pluralisation of every word adopted
 into modern English, then an English speaker would have to learn the
 pluralisation rules for far more than just English (see above re
 tsunami, octopus but also consider other non old English words such as
 emoji alligator mannequin boulevard cookie umbrella alcohol nadir etc.)
 For old English words, the pluralisation rules for them was set before
 modern English evolved into what we know today so those old rules still
 apply.

 All in all, makes it a lot easier to know how to spell English plurals.

 Some think opctopi is the plural of octopuses, when it wouldn't be
 because it's Greek and not Latin anyway...

 To whit: the belief many have that the English plural of virus is virii,
 when in fact if anything it'd be afaik viri - which it isn't.

The Latin word 'viri' translates as 'men', if I remember my school Latin
correctly. :-)

Perhaps re-evaluate the need to have TLS 1.1 and 1.2 right now.  The
only attack against 1.0 that I'm aware of is BEAST and that has been
largely mitigated by browser-side fixes to the point where TLS 1.0 is
now considered to be safe.  No doubt there will in time be other attacks
that necessitate an upgrade, but for now I would just stick with the
version of openssl and apache that comes with CentOS 5 and focus on
moving to CentOS 6 or 7 as a medium (not long) term goal.  At the end of
the day I think it's better to just go this route than have to deal with
the hacky solutions for getting 1.1 and 1.2 out of CentOS 5.

 If you do that, then you are at the mercy of Mr. Bergmann to provide
 updates for all security issues for openssl.  Has he updated his RPMs
 since 2014-11-19 23:57:58?  Does his patch work on the latest
 RHEL/CentOS EL5 openssl-0.9.8 package?

 The answer right now for him providing newer packages is, I have no
 idea.  His repo
 (
 http://www.tuxad.de/blog/archives/2014/12/07/yum_repository_for_rhel__centos_5/index.html
 )
 does not seem to be available:
 
 Attempted reposync:

 http://www.tuxad.com/repo/5/x86_64/tuxad/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14]
 HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
 

 Red Hat chose not to turn on those cyphers in RHEL-5 (the ones in his
 patches) .. doing so is not at all certified as safe, nor has it been
 tested by anyone that I can see (other than in that blog entry).  It
 might be fine .. it might not be.

 People can make any choice that they want, but I would be looking to
 upgrade to at least CentOS-6 at this point if I wanted newer TLS support
 and not depending on one person to provide packages (or patches) of this
 importance for all my EL5 machines.  But, that is just me.

 Please note, I have no idea who Mr. Bergmann is and I am not in any way
 being negative about those packages and patches .. they are extremely
 nice and seem to work.  However, I can not see the rest of his repo
 right now and I would not trust MY production machines to a one person
 operation with something as important as openssl.

English people (excludes USA people) should always try to speak simple,
jargon-free, easily understandable and logically expressed English
especially when conversing with non-English people.

I greatly admire the linguistic abilities of non-English people but
deplore the dumbed-down abuses of my native language from the US of A.

A military plan has become a road map even when aircraft are involved
provoking the inevitable question of Do aircraft stop at traffic
lights !

Back-up has become either reverse, a saved copy, re-enforcements etc.
Precision in language expression is essential for good understanding.

 This sounds like good news for me; I can stay planted in the accepted

 I installed bind-9.9.4 package from the CentOS repo.
 I've been reading the Changes and Readme file but don't see where this

 Can you point me to the centOS announcements or release notes that deal
 with the bind package and gss-spnego.
 I'd like to try to understand and possibly aggregate the right info to

The first thing I learned what US people (before became one myself) take
English pronunciation for was... Well, I asked US person at the
conference: does he know this person (and gave the name of English
person). The answer was:

that guy with accent

Isn't it funny to call correct English pronunciation an accent? ;-)

Valeri

 should always try to speak simple,
 jargon-free, easily understandable and logically expressed English
 especially when conversing with non-English people.

 I greatly admire the linguistic abilities of non-English people but
 deplore the dumbed-down abuses of my native language from the US of A.

 A military plan has become a road map even when aircraft are involved
 provoking the inevitable question of Do aircraft stop at traffic
 lights !

 Back-up has become either reverse, a saved copy, re-enforcements etc.
 Precision in language expression is essential for good understanding.

 Comments off-list please.

Ok, thanks so much! That'll do fine. The only other bits mentioned on
http://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS in Image Builder Notes were the random
root password, SELinux enabled, and relabel at first boot, which are easy
enough.

Thanks so much,

 The cheapest sollution is probably compiling a private openssl somewhere

 version instead of the default system-wide one.===


Well, not really. cheapest and working solution is to use apache on centos

Re: [CentOS-virt] Seeing dropped packets / tcp retrans on latest 4.4.1-10el6

2015-04-17 Thread Nathan March
Hi All,

I've tracked this down... We do rate limiting of our vms with a mix of 
ebtables/tc.

Running these commands (replace vif1.0 with the correct vif for your VM) will 
reproduce this:

ebtables -A FORWARD -i vif1.0 -j mark --set-mark 990 --mark-target CONTINUE

tc qdisc add dev bond0 root handle 1: htb default 2 
tc class add dev bond0 parent 1: classid 1:0 htb rate 1mbit 

tc class add dev bond0 parent 1: classid 1:990 htb rate 1mbit
tc filter add dev bond0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 990 handle 990 fw flowid 
1:990

Note that the speed limits being applied here are 10gb and I'm testing this on 
a 1gb network, so TC shouldn't really be doing anything here except letting the 
packets through. These same commands worked fine on gentoo xen 4.1 / kernel 
3.2.57, compared to this now not working on centos xen 4.4.1 / kernel 3.10.68.

Easiest way to reproduce is simply generate a large file, scp it to a remote 
host and on the remote host run:
tshark -Y tcp.analysis.duplicate_ack_num

If you run the ssh in a loop + tshark in another window, you can see the Dup 
ACK's begin immediately after adding the last filter rule:

25790294 1752.756733 xxx.xxx.xxx.13 - xxx.xxx.xxx.205 TCP 78 [TCP Dup ACK 
25790286#4] ssh  51515 [ACK] Seq=15994 Ack=50769840 Win=1544704 Len=0 
TSval=738150929 TSecr=4294944346 SLE=50785768 SRE=50790596
25790296 1752.756742 xxx.xxx.xxx.13 - xxx.xxx.xxx.205 TCP 78 [TCP Dup ACK 
25790286#5] ssh  51515 [ACK] Seq=15994 Ack=50769840 Win=1544704 Len=0

 Perhaps re-evaluate the need to have TLS 1.1 and 1.2 right now.  The
 only attack against 1.0 that I'm aware of is BEAST and that has been
 largely mitigated by browser-side fixes to the point where TLS 1.0 is
 now considered to be safe.  No doubt there will in time be other attacks
 that necessitate an upgrade, but for now I would just stick with the


Well, PCI DSS 3.1 standard soon denies use of sslv3 and early version of

Also noted that is possible to do ssl termination and encryption again with
mod_ssl sslproxyengine.

Does anyone know how to do this ?


At the end of sendmail.mc, after the MAILER macros, add a LOCAL_CONFIG, e.g,,

LOCAL_CONFIG
O ClientSSLOptions=+SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 +SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3
O ServerSSLOptions=+SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 +SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3

Thanks. That was too obvious; I should have read more documentation. The 
generic advisory said to add those lines to the LOCAL_CONFIG section of my 
sendmail.mc, but I didn't have a LOCAL_CONFIG section, so I assumed it 
was referring to a newer version of sendmail.


Meanwhile, I made a patch for sendmail-cf and sendmail-doc back-ported
