remote syslog segregation
Hello... I have a question for the masses... I am setting up (finally) a real honest to goodness syslog server (YEAH!!!)... and anyway, I have my server accepting remote logs, and have my PIX, Ascend racks, and currently ONE server logging to the new syslog server... trouble is, I can not find anything that will explain to me how to segregate logs from each machine.. the end result I want is to have syslog log various things from the clients to their own log files, something like this: /var/log/PIX/logfile /var/log/MAX1/logfile /var/log/MAX2/logfile /var/log/server1/messages /var/log/server1/secure /var/log/server1/maillog /var/log/server1/httpd you get the idea... any ideas on what I need to configure, and HOW to configure the clients and the syslog server to do this?? -- Jeffrey Lane, RHCE Systems Adminstrator ConnectNC, Inc DSL and Web hosting: http://www.connectnc.com List your child-related organization Online! http://www.sandhillskids.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: internet connection sharing.
Ummm IPTABLES??? If I were at home, I would send you my firewall script that sets up NAT and does just this. Mine is set up so that internal addresses are routed to the external address I get from the ISP... works very well. But if hte other suggestions dont work, or you want yet a third option, go looking ofr IPTables scripts that provide NAT services in addition to filtering...

Slightly OT, Netscape Ports
Just a tad off topic, but can anyone provide me with the port range that Netscape Communicator uses when publishing web pages that are created using its HTML editor?? I cant find them anywhere, and have a use who cant get a connection through to publish her site changes... I am fairly sure its my firewall blocking the incoming packets, but no way of really knowing until I know for sure what ports Communicator uses when publishing web pages...

remote logging with syslog
This should be a lot simpler than it is seeming right now, BUT, does anyone have a link to info on syslog? I have read the Man pages for syslog, syslogd, syslog.conf, etc etc and still havent found quite what I am looking for... Currently, I have a log server that accepts remote logs from our PIX, Modem Racks, DSLAMS, etc, and logs them to where they need to be. BUT, what I would like to do, is make that a full service log server, and have it take logs from all our machines. I know how to set up the servers to send their messages to the syslog server, what I dont quite know, is how to set up the syslog server to log the various incoming messages. For example, I would like to send all messages that normally go in /var/log/messages to the syslog server, AND have the syslog server store them in a file like this: hostname.messages. That way, I can have 10 different machines logging to the syslog server, with each getting their own logfile on the server to make parsing easier. any ideas? And one thing I havent been able to find so far, the local* defs in syslog.conf. I know now that local7 is for boot messages, but what about the rest??

If I understand you correctly and your server will accept all your machines, then just add lines to /etc/syslog.conf such as: *.info;authpriv.none;cron.none @XXX.XXX.com Of course substituting your address for the log server. Then restarting syslog of course. Oh that part is the easy part... I have no problems with the client side of things... The hold up for me is the server side... In other words, can I set up syslogd on the recieving server to segregate incoming log messages by type and machine? i.e. say I have log server called syslog. And I have two web servers called web1 and web2. Now, I want to remote log all messages and such from web1 and web2 to the syslog machine. Also, I want to make sure taht each machine gets their own logs on syslog... SO, web1 and web2 send messages to syslog machine. Syslog machine then segregates incoming messages into seperage files for each web server.. that way when I ssh into the syslog machien I will see something like this: /var/log/messages # messages log for the actual syslog machine. /var/log/messages.web1 # messages that came from web1 /var/log/messages.web2 # messages that came from web2 And thats the simplistic way of looking at it... I personally would not have a problem if each machine only generated one log file for everything, as I will use something like logwatch or such to monitor each log for specific things... but It would be even nicer if I could have something like this: /var/log/logfiles # local log files on the syslog server /var/log/web1/ #dir for all web1 log files (httpd/access, messages, secure, maillog, etc) /ver/log/web2/ #dir for all web2 log files Thanks Jeff -- Jeffrey Lane ConnectNC.com / Internet of the Sandhills [EMAIL PROTECTED] chown -r us:us /yourbase/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: my server has been hacked again
More importantly is what he said originally... My server RH 7.0 (soon upgrading to 8) has been hacked AGAIN vi ftp. This makes me wonder... first off, hes running 7.0. Has he or the admin bothered with keeping the machine up to date with errata and secuirty patches? Next, that makes me ask, why AGAIN? Did they not learn anything from the first time? Apparently not, if in fact the intruders got in the same way. Also, after the first time, how did they handle it? did they actually reinstall the server from scratch, or did they just reintall the rpms that were affected? I think you all have good ideas, so here is my list of things that he must do. 1: format and reinstall this machine 2: install all current patches and errata 3: remove wu-ftpd and install proFTPD 4: set proFTPD up to use a chroot jail for all FTP connections 5: ensure that NO anonymous FTP connections are allowed. 6: Only after all this is done, put the machine back on the network with internet access.

Re: using home directory from linux server for all other linux machineson network
Oh, no... you misunderstand me.. I dont mean that the server needed to be hard booted, but the client computer.. for example, you have a server A that is handing out all employee home dirs via NFS. So, I go to Host B and log in. Now, NIS handles all the logon stuff, and then mounts my home dir on Host B via NFS. Now, IF something should happen to cause the NFS connection to Server A drop, and this could be anything from a momentarily unplugged cable, to whatever, then Host B will have to be hard booted, because the machine stops functioning if a user is logged in and his home directory suddenly disappears. Been there, done that... more times than I care to remember... ;) Ritesh Raj Sarraf wrote: It isn't necessary that the server need to be hard booted to get it back. pass appropriacte parameters to nfs and you are in the run. rrs On Thu, 27 Mar 2003, Jeff Lane wrote: -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: using home directory from linux server for all other linux machineson network
Dont ask me how to do this, because its very ugly, from what I have heard, but you could use something like NIS to do network authentication, and have one machine serving home directories via nfs... that way, each time a user logs on, NIS uses that users defaults, and auto mounts the home dir off the home dir server via nfs, so each user can use the same home dir no matter which machine he or she logs in on... granted as I said, its ugly, AND if the nis server hiccups, or if a machine is connected and the NFS connection drops, that machine will have to be hard booted to get it to come back up... (I have had a little experience with this grin) Cheers Jeff Jim Vellenga wrote: Greetings everyone, I have several Linux machines running on my home network. At this point every user has their own home directory on each machine and would need to transfer files from one home to another to get them on the other machine. What I want to do, but don't know how to do, is have the home directories of all the users be hosted on the main server so no matter which machine they log in from, they will have access to their files. I would guess that I would need some sort of fall back if the server were to be down for one reason or another, but this sort of setup would allow me to easily backup people's information onto cd's by just having to back up the /home on the server. Thinking about this, I would probably need to centralize the password and user information as well, and that would definitely need a fall back so that users could log onto the local machine even if the server was down for one reason or another. Could someone provide some helpful advice or direct me to a location with instructions on doing this. Oh, one of the machines is running Mandrake 9.1 (I thought I would check it out and find I am really liking it) the others including the server are on RH 8.0.

I always disable magicdev and just use an entry in my automounter for the CD, so when you know there's a data disc in it you can just cd /mnt/cdrom and it gets mounted then. Not probing in the background. First thing I always do when building a Red Hat system... rpm -e magicdev that and linuxconf have given me nothing but grief... and for what its worth, when I worked at Red Hat, the first thing we would say to a customer who was having CDROM issues was rpm -e magicdev and try again... heh Cheers Jeff -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Which makes sense only if the kessel run is some kind of benchmark other than a DISTANCE benchmark, i.e., if they're benchmarking something whose ultimate goal is to be achieved over some variable distance, and 12 parsecs is a record-setting distance. But of course, even that doesn't make much sense, it's just a bit of flotsam/jetsam on the sea of stupid movie lines. Oddly enough, and still off topic, there is a reason that Han Solo said that. Strictly star wars speaking, the kessel run was a smugglers run from the planet Kessel to a point out in space. Now, the problem with this run was that there was a place in the vicinity of the system that Kessel is in called the Maw, which is basically an area that contained numerous black holes that created gravitic anomolies that made it impossible to jump to light speed (as it were in that universe). Until the point at which Han and Chewie, in the Millineum Falcon broke the record on the Kessel run, ships went a certain path (read arc) around the maw. and the length of that arc varied depending oh how close a ship came to the maw so, the closer you flew to the event horizon, the shorter your distance from one point on the arc to another. Hence the parsec quantifier. basically, the trip from Kessel to the safe point normally took something like 15 parsecs worth of distance as the ships had to travel a pretty good arc around the area of black holes. Han did it in under 12 parsecs, meaning that he had cut it that much closer to the maw than anyone else had ever done. by the way... whats wrong with using parsecs as distance? that is what they are... 1 parsec = 3.09E13 km = 3.26 lightyears. Of course, picturing a 12pc arc and a 15pc arc with the same start and stop points would make a good example to look at, but in astronomical terms, that would mean that hte typical (and 15 is just a guess) parsec trip would be roughly 9.27e13 km longer than the record setting run that Han did... or in other words... the normal trip is about 463,500,000,000,000km and Han's trip was roughly 370,800,000,000,000km long, saving roughly 92,700,000,000,000km roughly of course... my astronomical math is a little rusty...

Issue with mySql at boot
Heres one I have seen before, but for the life of me I cant remember how to fix this... I have a server that is running mySQL. Now, the problem is that mySQL does not load at boot time. I can not figure out why. Before y'all start chiming in with the obvious, I have the startup scripts in the appropriate rc#.d directories (all are S90mysql) and I have the mysql script in /etc/rc.d/init.d Also, chkconfig shows it set as ON for runlevels 2,3,4,5 (this is actually a sun linux box, but the general startup proceedures are the same). We even have a link to /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql in rc.local, and even THAT fails to bring mysql up at boot time. we CAN bring it up manually, and have been doing so, by manually executing /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql after a reboot. Unfortunately, the sunlinux stuff leaves a little to be desired in the logging area, as the only boot messages I get are dmesg stuff, no process boot messages like Red Hat provides. So, any ideas? I know I have seen this issue before with Red Hat servers, and for hte life of me I cant recall what the fix was... I was thinking either a lock file somewhere that is still present, or something like that. I originally thought it may be the position in the rc#.d directories (should it be S99 instead of S90?) but even if that were an issue, the link in rc.local should bring it up anyway... so, any ideas y'all have would be greatly appreciated! ciao ./jeff -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Redhat installation boot cd questions
An even simpler, and more common problem is this: first, did you do an md5sum on the iso's you downloaded and then compare them to what is listed in the MD5SUM file on the ftp site? that way you can ensure that you got complete, full downloads with no errors. Second, are they bad disks? the first binary cd should be bootable from CDROM. Can you not boot straight from CDROM? Have you tried putting the first install CD into a different machine and see if you can boot the installer on that one? If you can, then it may be something else. if you can not boot the installer from your CDs on a different machine, then you definitely have bad CDs. ciao Jeff On Tue, 20 Nov 2001, Brig C.

The installation on my home system was very smooth, and every piece of hardware in it looks to be working (P3 with SiS chipset, G400DH, SBlive, 3c905c, aic7880, avermedia tvcam98). The installation on the ThinkPad was also smooth, but it had a lot of problems with PCMCIA after installation, and video still needed to be configured with some care, although it was much easier then any previous version of RedHat. The PCMCIA problems where listed in the releasenotes as being problemetic, so I will not go into the problems to much. The main problem I had was that the PCMCIA TokenRing adapter was giving "ibmtr_cs: MapMemPage: Bad offset" errors. I have had these errors in the past with 2.0/2.2 kernels, but in the latest 2.2 kernels with current pcmcia-cs package they had been solved. The video problems looks to be an issue with the trident_drv module. For some reason it correctly detects 8MB of video memory, and then proceeds in telling it is only going to use 4 of it. With this the screen got totally messed up, adding the videoram 8192 setting to the adapters device settings in the XF86Config-4 file solved the problem for me. Another issue with the video install was that the installer correctly identified the Trident Cyber9397DVD videochip and amount of videomemory, but was unable to detect the type of LCD panel, and came back with plain VGA sync ranges. And even after selecting 'Generic LCD panel with 1280x1024 resolution' it suggested as a default resolution a resolution that was to high for the LCD. The thing is that if I look through the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file I can see that it managed to detect I have a 1280x1024 resolution LCD panel. (--) TRIDENT(0): TFT Panel 1280x1024 found Would it not be possible for the installer to also detect this? Because of the problems with PCMCIA I did not test the beta really on the ThinkPad, so I don't know if there where other problems. Some other issues I came across on both machines where: - graphical installer uses XFree86 3.3.6. Why not 4.0.2? - release notes say Netscape 4.x is depricated, yet it is still the default (I had to manually select to install Mozilla). - shipped versions of libpcap and tcpdump are very old, much newer ones are available from www.tcpdump.org - default gnome desktop look is not as nice as Helix. In general the new installer was very smooth. Now that framebuffer is finally used for the installation, graphical install finally works on several machines (mainly mobiles) where it never worked before. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- (-0-) (-0-) (-0-) -0- (-0-) (-0-) (-0-) Jeffrey D Lane, RHCE, RHCX, EMT-ST Geek, Star Wars Fanatic, and collector of obsolete technologies. 2600 Meridian Parkway (919) 547-0012x168 Durham, NC 27713(888) REDHAT1x168 "Ignorance can be cured, But Stupidity is forever."

Re: Latency
Since this is happening only on the first connect or two, I would imagine you dont have the hosts files set up, or DNS is not running, or set up properly. I would imagine that its a DNS problem, causing the clinet machine to send a broadcast looking for the target machine... then after it gets a reply, the client machine adds that hosts IP to its internal cache, soem magic happens, and all is well after that. but I would say that you either dont have DNS running, or you dont have a DNS server properly configured. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Maybe. AFAIK, the only wu-ftp that is affected is the version that is right off the install CDs for 6.2. which is wu-ftpd-2.6.0-3.i386.rpm I would imagine that the one listed on the errata page is probably safe. You could also try upgrading to 2.6.1, but I dont knwo if that will break any dependencies anywere else (i.e. anonftp, or any libs that may be deprecated or incompatible with 2.6.1 that may exist on a 6.2 install.)
