[gentoo-user] ot - nagios question

2003-09-19 Thread Mikhail P.
All,

I have nagios installed and running for a long time now. Currently, there is 
few servers nagios monitors in one or another way and various people 
contacted in case of any problem(s).

I have one question though - I have admin access to nagios and able to view 
all servers/services via webinterface, but I would like to add some kind of 
sub-admin, who will be able to view services/servers status for certain 
hosts/hostgroup.

Is it possible to achieve with nagios? If yes, can someone point me on the 
right track?

thanks,
Mikhail.

 Hi,
A simple question, I hope. Where does the size limit on root's

 Thanks,

In bash it is variable $HISTSIZE

e.g. export HISTSIZE=150
will limit it to 150 lines.

[gentoo-user] user limits, pam.d

2003-09-05 Thread Mikhail P.
Hello,

I'm having very strange problem here with PAM and user limits 
(/etc/security/limits.conf).
I have sshd running, and my /etc/pam.d/sshd file has the following record:

[...]
sessionrequired   /lib/security/pam_limits.so

I have edited /etc/security/limits.conf and added the following record:

user softnofile  4048
user hardnofile  4056

So once user user logins via ssh, he supposed to have these limits (viewble 
via ulimit -a). However, it does not work - user still has 1024 in FD 
limit.
Now if I su user from root, and type ulimit -a, I see that FD is 4048!

Any suggestions where the problem could be?

regards,
Mikhail.

Re: [gentoo-user] Which kernel for servers?

Personally, I'm running most of the servers on vanilla kernel + GRSecurity 
patch applied and ACL's enabled, while some other servers running WOLK-4.6s 
now. Generally, I would say go for vanilla kernel with GRSecurity or SELinux, 
but in case you want some special features and do not want to spend your time 
on patching kernel - go with WOLK (also contains GRSecurity).

I suggest that you put PATHs to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. This will

If you want LD_LIBRARY_PATH per user basis, put the export
(export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:...:...) to user's ~/.bashrc file

   Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 2F33

You probably do not know history of sendmail very well, my friend.
Latest version of qmail was released in 1998. Since that date nobody managed 
to find security holes in official qmail distribution (I'm not talking non 
official qmail patches, but plain qmail itself).

Sendmail was written to be MTA with more features, but author did not think 
about security in sendmail. Did you count holes in sendmail since 1998? There 
was/is a lot of them according to bugtraq

So basically once new hole in sendmail will be found, everyone (sendmail 
users) will need to rush and upgrade/patch sendmail before server will be 
root'ed - this can be very painful process if you have to maintain a lot of 
servers. While qmail users will still use qmail and not worry about security 
holes in it, which is a huge plus I think.

Based on those 3 statements I'm saying that  qmail is more secure than 
sendmail.

[gentoo-user] portage upgrade - xine-lib problems

2003-07-14 Thread Mikhail P.
Hello,

I'm currently upgrading system, and found this really annoying problem about 
xine-lib:

(after emerge sync):

As you can see portage tries to install media-libs/xine-lib-0.9.13-r3 first, 
but then it will install media-libs/xine-lib-1_beta12. However, this does not 
work well when it comes to media-libs/xine-lib-1_beta12, after emerging d4x:

 however it might be that you have a package that depend on the old xine
 libraries, in case it will ask you to install that when you do emerge
 -up world again.

 This is because Xine seems to be inherently broken in how it changes the
 interface towards other packages (might also be that it is alpha and
 beta software that people insist on building and using applications
 for..)

Thanks for help. Now when I run emerge -uUD world, it downgrades xine-lib, 
but at least there only one version of xine-lib now.

When I run screen in detached mode (e.g. screen -dmS sync emerge sync), I'm

detach it back, so I can logout, but session still continues?
I have looked into screenrc, and found:

detach  ^D d

which probably means Ctrl+D should detach it back, but it does not work well

Each machine has it's own /usr/portage, because I often edit .ebuilds and 
often they differ. But if you run identically the same setup on all machines, 
then exporting /usr/portage with all subfolders should work in most cases.

  This works pretty well. As a matter of fact, I have my entire
  /usr/portage exported via NFS.

 Is this a better method than setting up a local rsync server?

Hm, do you mean it unpacks faster?.. The difference between bz2 and gz, is 
that BZIP2 compresses data better than gzip, however it takes more resources 
to pack/unpack, but saves space. It does not take faster to compile, but 
faster to unpack with tar.gz

[gentoo-user] qt compile problems

2003-06-11 Thread Mikhail P.
Hello,

I'm installing qt on one of my local computers, however I get the following 
error (tried twice to compile, always end the same place). System is running 
latest software, from x86. Has anyone had the same thing?

It seems like this stops compile: QSettings: error creating /root/.qt
I have looked into /root, and there is nothing appears to be .qt

Re: [gentoo-user] Adding user to group

Editing of /etc/group as you described is enough.

 Hello!

 Is it nessessary to use 'usermod' to add user to some group?
 Or may I just edit /etc/group file and enter new username after comma on
 the line containing the group I want to add user to?
 I'm asking this because I want to add user to portage group, and 'usermod
 -G' wants ALL groups to be listed... And what if I don't remember to which
 groups this user already belongs, and what if this list is a way too long?

 Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix vs. Qmail

2003-06-05 Thread Mikhail P.
Personally, I prefer Qmail + Vpopmail combination, since it is easier to setup 
and run. Further more, qmail is lightweight MTA and it is running on my 
servers even under high load without taking much CPU time, comparing to 
sendmail and probably other monsters in the same situation.

regards,
Mikhail.

 What do you think? Pros and Cons for both.
