Re: [CentOS] ssh - alternate ports, and host verification

2009-03-19 Thread russ
Are these on the same ip, but different ports?  I suggest setting up two 
different hostnames.

Subject: [CentOS] ssh - alternate ports, and host verification

I have a centos box that will need to ssh into 2 other centos boxes  
(with keys). Now one of these boxes is a firewall, and another is a  
system behind the firewall. I have rules in my firewall to punch into  
the system behind the FW.

Now if i connect to the IP (sine the public one is shared), anytime i  
connect to the other system, I get the host verification failed error  
and have to remove the IP from the known_hosts file.

What is the best (secure) way to get around this? I know i can disable  
the check, but that is not my preferred way.

Thanks.

[CentOS] libpng and Kernel updates

2009-03-17 Thread Russ Lavoy

I noticed that CentOS 5.2 does not have the following updates listed in the 
repository.

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0264.html
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0333.html

Is this something that is coming soon?

Thanks!

  such a large installation you may even want to look at their
  commercially supported editions. Last time I checked (admittedly
  quite a while
  ago) the
  pricing wasn't too horrendous and I've heard good things
 about their
  support staff.
  We've always opted to go with the pure open source aka self-
  supported version but then again we're running installations with
  fewer than 300 users. I believe our largest installation
 to date is
  ~100 users or so.
 
  I would have thought that this was a small install:)
 
  Agree.  If you need multi-servers for 300 hundred users something is
  just designed wrong.   Unless you've got 300 intense power users.
 


 Even then...
 300 users should fit on a desktop-class machine (provided
 you've got enough RAM).
 Zimbra uses Java / Jetty and thus likes to have enough RAM.
 On a single server, I'd go with at least 8 GB of RAM.
 Go with 64bit Linux (AMD64).
 CentOS is not supported, but it seems to work nicely or now...

 My problem would be that a single machine is a single point of failure.
 We
 are looking at zimbra and using at least two machines utilizing GFS and
 our
 SAN so we can withstand a failure.  We have around 75 users but I am not
 willing to have email down due to a single machine failing.  (Btw, these
 would be virtual machines running on xenserver)

 Seeing as you are in education, if you are looking to actually pay for
 licensing a product and are actually interested in Zimbra, take a look at
 their hosted model.  It is only for educational institutions right now
 (not
 that I know if they will make the offering more widely available) and may
 fit the bill even more by not having to manage the hardware.

 My biggest concern is the long term viability of zimbra with the
 possibility
 of MicroHoo or someone else picking up Yahoo in the future.  I don't want
 to
 start something with that one, but for a business this is definitely a
 concern. I believe some of this has been addressed in their licensing
 language and there is always the the GPL version which would probably
 survive for at least a short while.

 Andrew



We would definitely be looking at a app for free in other words zimbra's
open source release. We are planning on using existing hardware that we
have. Currently we are running CentOS 5.2 with Pentium D 3.2 with 2gb ram
and 2 500GB SATA drives in a RAID. The motherboard that we have will
support a quadcore xeon if needed. Are setup now has no probs but we are
only doing basic email and calendar within squirrelmail itself.

Re: [CentOS] Help me

2008-08-31 Thread russ
Top posting is when you put your reply on top of the original message, the way 
I'm doing.  Apparently some people prefer that for some reason which dates back 
to the days of newsgroups.  Some people also don't understand that not all 
clients support bottom posting.

Interestingly enough, we use top posting 99% of the time at work, even though 
it takes extra effort to do so in thunderbird.  We had a new employee that 
started with us, and used bottom posting on some of her replies, and most 
people thought that her replies were empty.  

Food for thought, I guess.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 5.2 and Xen

2008-06-11 Thread russ
If you only have 512mb of ram, there's almost no reason to virtualize. Windows 
needs a minimum of 128-512MB to run stable.  I highly suggest that you get more 
RAM - its very cheap these days.  

If you want to dedicate a box to virtualization, and won't be using more then 
4GB of ram for your virtual machines - I highly recommend xenserver express.  
Its free, but has much better performance then vmware.  

Looking at it more closely, it seems to be rhel5, or more likely centos5 under 
the hood, so you can probably use the host for other things too.

I wonder if it can be combined with other techologies - KVM, openVZ, etc to 
give more then 4GB of ram for virtualization?  I tried installing vmware, but 
it wouldn't run under.a xen kernel.

 I've run VMware Server (free, as in cost, not as in open source) on
 CentOS to host WinXP VMs since it was in beta and have no complaints.
 There is an RPM package available on VMware's site:

 $ rpm -q VMware-server
 VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.i386

 It's only available in i386 package but installs fine on x86_64 and
 supports 64-bit VMs provided the underlying hardware supports it. I
 believe VMs are limited to a max of 2 processors each.

 I've used VMware Server on systems varying from old AthlonXP, 512MB RAM
 through to Intel Quad Core Q6600 with 4GB RAM. Note VMware will run on
 older processors without hardware virtualization. In my experience
 there's little noticeable difference between software and hardware
 virtualization (on VMware), and each run at about the perceived speed
 you would expect if it was on native hardware (I've not conducted any
 benchmark tests). The main consideration is that you have enough RAM to
 support the host OS (CentOS) and any VM(s) running on it.

 I've not used Xen so can't offer a comparison.

Ned: I was very interested to read that you've run VMWare Server on
systems with only 512 MB of RAM.   I haven't tried it, because the box
I can use only has 512 MB of RAM.

My impression is that Xen is much more demanding about HW.  Lanny

Re: [CentOS] mod_rewrite issue

2008-06-04 Thread russ
Gary, 

While this is a CentOS list and you would probably get better help on the 
apache httpd list, I think you're looking for the P flag.  Your web server will 
proxy the request for you.  Keep in mind that the source ip of such requests 
will be your server, although I believe certain headers get set with the 
original ip of the client.

I'm installing Drupal 6.2 in the document root of a CentOS 5 install using 
httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1. I'm using a virtual host entry with the following rewrite 
rule to enable clean URLs: 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [R,L,QSA] 
This works fine expect the user still sees the ugly URL in the address bar. 
However, if I remove the R, it breaks completely. Any clues? I can send more of 
my httpd.conf if you think it'll help. 
much thanks,
