Very true.  Maybe it's time to go load some custom rules into MailScanner :)

Great song. At least all messages titled Centos 6 Update? Are easy to spot
and delete. :)

Re: [CentOS] Question on canada

2009-02-12 Thread James N. Smith
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a lawyer and I'm not your lawyer.

I presume you mean due to restrictions on cryptographic software.

My understanding is that even during the bad old days when ITAR
(International Traffic in Arms Regulations) restricted anything with over a
56 bit key as a weapon of war that we had a special relationship with Canada
and that crypto items could be exported there.

An old webpage from 1995:
http://www.ieee-security.org/Cipher/ConfReports/CryptoLawSurvey.html

This site indicates that export to Canada was OK but that re-exporting from
Canada to a third country was illegal.

The restrictions have eased significantly since the mid 90s when this was
written.

In short: I wouldn't worry too hard if I were exporting to Canada, but your
millage may vary.

 Has anyone had good luck serving dhcp addresses to Vista clients 
 that work reliably?

 I have a test system and I can't seem to find out how to properly 
 get dhcpd to always respond with broadcast instead of unicast 
 since Vista won't honor unicast dhcp packets.

 My Vista (my wife's actually) has no problems with unicast dhcp 
 packets.

 Stock dhcpd server in CentOS 5, and Vista Home. Worked without any 
 special config.

 Are you sure that is the problem?
 Not sure, but it is one of the suggested problems I see in many 
 google searches. There are registry edits that help, but I don't 
 want to have to do a bunch of edits when we get stuck with a hundred 
 Vista machines. I have plenty of time, for now, to experiment. There 
 are posts that say the subnet needs to be authoritative, but mine 
 is. What happens is that the Vista system will not route outside the 
 local subnet for more than 5 or 10 minutes.
 Do you mean that you do get an IP-number and default gateway from the
 dhcp server, but after 5 to 10 minutes, the default route setting gets
 lost?
 To me that would mean that the dhcp is working fine, but something 
 else kicks in after that time that messes up the dhcp settings.  Any 
 additional firewall software on the laptop, like Norton etc.
 Or can you relate the loss of routing to an action on the dhcp server,
 like lease renewing etc.
 I think I am going to have to spend some more time on this. Maybe with 
 a sniffer and some patience. The laptop just had Vista Ultimate 
 because that is the version we acquired for testing, and our standard 
 McAfee virus scanner. I will have to toss together a VM machine and 
 try different combos of stuff. As a matter of fact I have a VM loaded 
 on my laptop that I was playing with at home as it runs fine there. 
 That way the only difference will be the change in  location. It is 
 just dog slow, but for this test it doesn't matter that much.

 I'll have to look at the troubled machine and see if I can detect 
 problems in the routing tables and such. I just have to figure out if 
 the same commands do what I want between Vista and XP, or if I need to 
 do some reading.

 
 My recent reading has lead me to believe that Windows Vista comes with 
 IPV6 enabled by default and can really generate some traffic if you do 
 not turn it off and possibly cause problems if your network 
 infrastructure does not support it. Is that possibly a problem?
 
 Cheers,
 Glenn
 I turned off IPv6 on that machine, but since it is in our other office, I 
 won't get back to it until tomorrow to poke it some more.


I'm not sure if this is related.  I am running a Linksys WRVS4400N router
(which has Linux based firmware) for my DHCP.  I am noticing that my one
vista machine is having a difficult time with the DHCP.  I haven't solved it
yet but what I have seen is that the problem appears to be with the lease
times and renewal.  When my IP addressing fails on the Vista machine and I
check the lease table on the router I note that the machine appears on the
list but has a MUCH shorter lease time remaining than the XP machines.  As I
take this machine in and out of the house a good bit I run across this
problem every few days.  Rebooting the router has been my only recourse
until recently.

I moved to a new firmware and also maxed out the lease time on the DHCP
service.  You might want to increase the lease time on your CentOS DHCP
server and see if it effects the situation. 

Wish I could be of more help, but I'm just starting to troubleshoot the
problem.  The one thing I know for sure is that it seems isolated to only
Vista clients.  I do not know if the Linksys firmware is using the same
version of ISC DHCPD that CentOS.

Regards,
James
