Re: [CentOS] Make sshd log IP addresses, not hostnames
While I did change the config entry and it is logging IP addresses, apparently that's not my problem. Even when using legit IP addresses my iptables rejects aren't working? I guess that means its not a forward/reverse DNS problem causing my issue. I have to use /etc/hosts.deny to stop some of the ssh attacks. Very weird.

[CentOS] Make sshd log IP addresses, not hostnames
Can I adjust the ssh daemon to log IP addresses instead of hostnames? I assume this situation is feasible... * 10.10.10.10 attempts to ssh to the server * reverse dns resolves to "somehost.domain.com" * ssh daemon logs "somehost.domain.com" in messages * foward dns on "somehost.domain.com" resolves to 10.10.10.20 Thus it causes some of my scripts a problem if the DNS resolutions don't match. It would be nice if it could just log IP addresses only. Thanks, Scott ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] How to move my MBR
I copied over the MBR from hdc to sda. I found a 4.4 LiveCD, but apparently its damaged so it wouldn't boot. I attempted to put everything back and when I rebooted it went into a GRUB screen instead of a normal boot. I had no idea how to get it to boot from there, so instead of taking the time to figure it out, I decided it was time to make the plunge to CentOS 5.

[CentOS] rsync problem
I have a simple script that sends one file to two locations on the same destination server. Here's the code: DEST="remotehost" SRC="/home/boss/application.conf" DST1="/home/user1/application.conf" DST2="/home/user2/application.conf" RSYNC1=`rsync -caW -e ssh $SRC $DEST:$DST1` RSYNC2=`rsync -caW -e ssh $SRC $DEST:$DST2` This runs every 5 minutes. What I'm seeing is the first location occasionally gets a *partial* file, but the second location never has a problem. There does not appear to be any obvious correlation to why this would be happening. I have never witnessed the problem when running the script by hand to try and duplicate, witness any error output, etc. Any idea how to troubleshoot?

Thanks, Scott ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Re: rsync problem
I just realized that "application.conf" is an automatically generated file, and I think it might be running around the same time as the replication script. Perhaps my replication script and the auto-generation script are occasionally running at the exact same time, thus causing the replication script to not have a complete file to transmit. I'm staggering the replication script to see if that solves the problem.

So I'm working with the iSCSI Initiator and an EqualLogic SAN.

Is there a method to re-create the /dev/sdc device? I cannot dd or fdisk it, obviously, but I can mount the /dev/sdc1 partition and it works just fine.

[CentOS] Automatic User Based Mounts
Let's say I have a Samba server for my file serving needs. Would there be any way to configure CentOS to automatically mount a few specified partitions as the user logging in? Something of the nature of /mnt/home, /mnt/pictures, /mnt/music and so forth. They need to be mounted as the current user, and I prefer not to customize shell based login scripts. Can this be done through fstab somehow? Or some other method? I can make, and currently utilize, SMB share links on my desktop for accessing them.

[CentOS] Using HTTP proxy for yum
Is there a way to use an HTTP proxy (with a user/pass) with yum? Or at least a way to pass a user/pass through yum? I have a situation with a CentOS server behind a web filter appliance. Thanks, Scott ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Install on a usb flash drive
An interesting idea. How would the install work? If you boot from DVD with the USB drive installed, will it see the drive and make it an option for the install destination?

[CentOS] logrotate and httpd logs
I swear that I've removed httpd from logrotate.d on more than one occasion because I prefer to rotate httpd logs on my own schedule. But the config keeps on returning and throwing off my stats. I'm assuming that when there is an Apache upgrade that it's re-inserting the config into the logrotate.d directory? Is there an easy way to stop it from doing this? I *really* do not want to have to manually remove the config each time I upgrade Apache... Thanks, Scott ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Clone physical into virtual
Is there a formal, or preferred, method for importing a physical CentOS machine into a VMware instance? I know they make software to move Windows machines, but I couldn't find one to handle our CentOS servers. I have done something via scp/sftp in the past, which *seemed* to work, but if there's a better way I'm more than interested in hearing the process. Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] Centos as a desktop, advisable?
I'm running CentOS on my server and I don't feel it makes a great desktop since several of the major applications (OpenOffice, Firefox, etc) lag behind since it follows RHEL. I prefer to use something more dynamic and current on the desktop.

Presently, several distros has attract me due to their focus on the desktop, however they only have few months lifetime before a new version released. Is it advisable using centos on client? what about support for new hardware and several office productivity software like openoffice, did centos always update to the latest version? Previously i was using RH9 on several hundreds clients and love it, however the update was horrible since it is unsupported, hence I can not install it on the new hardware (ie. sata) thanks. --beast ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
