Re: telnet on local LAN question

I have been going through all the responses I got so far and am now in

am backing everything up to "factory install" to try out this and the

What I do know at this point is that it is not a matter of name
resolution as I tried telnet 22 to use ssh which I know works and
the name resolved with a connection made (though utterly useless to use).
Aside from the concerns about "why is my network the way it is" which I
intend to address, I am pretty certain the problem is in iptables. I can
telnet to cs.cmu.edu, so I know telnet is working on all my machines.
My iptables is the default per F14 installation:

I don't understand the OUTPUT as it is different for each of the three

literature, my issue is with INPUT
I added a LOG on input immediately before rejecting and can see that, on
the destination machine, there is an entry corresponding to the request
"telnet " (note I have dropped the port number to allow telnet to
use its default port):

I don't see anything in /var/log/message on the machine that I did the

I am not having success and the messages in the log are showing me that
I am making a mess. One of the interesting things is I am now getting
"connection refused" rather than "no route to host" and I need to see
what change I made caused that (which is also interesting as I would
have expected "connection refused" if the resolution was "REJECT"?)
If I know what 192.168.2.x machines I want to be able to telnet to and I
modify all machines to have the necessary in iptables to allow a telnet
to/from, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance (this iptables stuff is a bit daunting ...),

Re: telnet on local LAN question
Hi Tim, > That's a rather complex explanation, which sounds like you're giving > each machine a unique hosts file, where their own hostnames are written > differently than the other machines on the LAN. I wouldn't do that. It sounds to me quite normal what he says. Every host has a hosts-file where all other machines are listed as And the local machine has its name added to the 127.0.0.1 line. > It gets messier if a box has two addresses (whether or not it has two > network interfaces.

I don't see any problem with a machine that has the same name on different addresses. One of our servers actually does have 10 NIC's, of which some are bonded and some have aliases, leaving it with about a dozen IP-adresses. It still has only one hostname. Depending on who or what is talking to it, it will know which IP to use. (Of course, you know that.) > You don't need to put hostnames into specific interface configuration > files. The computer *works* *out* its host name from its IP. Normally the hostname is put into the file /etc/sysconfig/network. And regarding the working out the hostname: it does not even need to know its own name to send or receive data. All it needs to know is the IP-address of the remote machine. It will not do reverse or any look-up to resolve its own hostname to do a telnet to a remote server. >> Ping works great between all of the machines for both and >> .localdomain, lists the 192.168.10.x address like a happy camper >> should This part from OP is a dead give-away that his hosts file are apparently working fine, that his network configuration is okay and he has packets going out and being received.

That is a very probably answer. And easy for Paul to test. If he can do locally a telnet to 127.0.0.1 on port 25, but not remotely to the IP of the server, his most likely case is the mailserver not listening, or a firewall. > And may need customising for the domain names > that you are using.

He is not doing any MX-queries, he is telnetting to the mailserver. Only after the mailserver responds will it do a reverse look-up. And, as the remotes IP is in the hosts file, will happily continue. It would even if it were not, accept it can't list the hosts name then in logfile, but will only use the IP-address. > You might want to expand upon *why* you're wanting to use different > FQDNs for machines.

Three computers? I would probably use hosts files. But then, you tell you switch the IP's often. And although off topic I really wonder: why?? A servers IP-address is about one of the most static things I can think of. Note: sorry if this sounded a bit like nit-picking, Tim (as it feels to me now I read it over again). That was not the intention, although I want to make clear to the OP that name resolving is *not* his primary problem, seeing he can ping by name. -- Regards, André -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

That might be the dock extension ("gnome-shell-extensions-dock" in the
repo), but I'm not sure. In general, you might want to run "yum search
gnome-shell-extension" and see if anything strikes your fancy.

That will turn off all the graphics-accelerated crap and give you
something closer to a GNOME 2 experience. You probably should still
investigate what's going on with your graphics (that's unfortunately
above my pay grade), but it will get you a usable desktop in the
interim.

Some combinations of languages/fonts/scanners/image format/paper quality/ocr software and the price of 10base5 cable on Saipan work well. Others don't. Well, probably not 10base5. :/ But the tuning is sometimes so time-intensive that you'd prefer to just type it in by hand. On the other hand, if you have a lot of the scanned text that comes from the same source, the tuning can be worth it. Don't ask me how to tune the ocr. Some years ago I read up on it and decided, for that doc, I'd pass. Open source ocr seems to have progressed since then, which is nice.

Is it > > possible to support both password login and fingerprint > > login at the same time? never used fingerprint authentication so I wouldn't know if it becomes exclusive authentication when it's implemented but I wouldn't think so. The GUI way to configure authentication is to run 'system-config-authentication' and you can select the various methods you want to use for authentication (more than one is OK). Thus you would probably want to make sure that both fingerprint and local authentication are selected. I would tend to use command line - 'authconfig' and you can get all the possible options just by typing 'authconfig --help' and I would think that something like... authconfig \ --enablelocauthorize \ --enablesssd \ --enablefingerprint \ --enableshadow \ --updateall would likely work - but of course, I don't have fingerprint hardware to even test this. If you don't have sssd package installed, then don't enable it Either authconfig or system-config-authentication should update /etc/pam.d/system-auth, /etc/nsswitch, possibly other files Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Try the "Catalyst Control Center" that was installed along with the driver. FInd it in whatever GNOME 3 calls an application menu or run "amdccle" from a terminal. Theoretically the display settings in the GNOME Control Center should also work.

What are you doing? All "ifconfig eth0" will do is print out the device's current configuration and let you know if it is up or down. man ifconfig is your friend.

Maybe you want to "yum install cnetworkmanager", and then RTFM, "cnetworkmanager --help". Also, given that the network isn't available for the guest, you might want to install this on the host machine instead, then look inside /var/cache/yum/ to find the appropriate rpm files and transfer them and install to the guest manually (via the .iso image or something). Alternatively, you might consider disabling NetworkManager and configuring the old network service instead. I believe the guest has a virtual wired LAN card which is in the "connected" state to the virtual switch that VBox provides, so it makes sense to use the network service instead of NetworkManager, as the guest is always online via the (virtual) wired cable. Go to /etc/sysconfig/networking/ and edit the appropriate files, then do a "service network start" to activate it. At any rate, if you are configuring a minimal, CLI-only Fedora system as the guest, you are supposed to be familiar with manual network configuration. There is no simple "on-switch". If you are not using the GUI tools, you are assumed to be an advanced user who knows his way around with the command prompt and /etc directory.

networking from the command line
How do I turn on networking from the command line? When I do a minimal install, Fedora 14 won't turn on networking for me. eth0 never gets an IP address. Where is the on-switch? Nothing I've tried gets the job done. In particular, ifconfig eth0 up does not produce an IP address. In this case, Fedora 14 is a guest on a VirtualBox. If I install the rather large graphical desktop, networking works after I click on its toolbar icon, so I expect the issue is not specfic to VirtualBox. >From a thread I started earlier, one might get the opposite impression. -- Michael henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu "Pessimist: The glass is half empty.

I've now got it going, and have a basic ATI driver running now, rather than the 640x480 I had previously. After experiencing GNOME3 for the last few minutes, I can definitely say it's "form over function" in this release. I'm already regretting upgrading. The lack of function, specifically the video support, is frustrating.

I have also removed abrt for good measure.
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern is back to /tmp/core, but I still don't
get anything in /tmp/core* when I kill the oidentd process with a

* Add "kernel.core_pattern = /tmp/core" to /etc/sysctl.conf
("kernel.core_uses_pid = 1" was already set.)
Despite this, there is no file named /tmp/core* after the daemon
crashes.

I wouldn't do that. Or that you've got two different subnets on the same LAN (192.168.10 and 192.168.2), and you're trying to talk between them. Again, I wouldn't do that, unless I had to. You've either got to have a gateway between them, at the boundary between the two networks (and all the computers have to be configured to appropriately use the gateway). Or, if they actually are all on the same LAN, you'd set the netmask to be 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0 (so they don't try to reach the other subnet through a gateway). Presume that I have about four machines, I've called them fred, george, martha, and dave. They'll all have the same hosts file on them, like this. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomainlocalhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 192.168.1.1 fred.localdomainfred 192.168.1.2 george.localdomain george 192.168.1.3 martha.localdomain martha 192.168.1.4 dave.localdomaindave None of them will have any part of their hostnames inserted into the local loopback lines. That /can/ cause problems with reverse look-ups, when you want the looked-up IP of a hostname to actually be their IP on the LAN, not the loopback address (which is identical on each machine). It gets messier if a box has two addresses (whether or not it has two network interfaces. In that situation, I don't try associating the same hostname with two different addresses, it causes problems. I'll have a variation for the second address. e.g. 192.168.1.1 fred.localdomain fred 192.168.2.1 fred-two.localdomain fred-two Do you really have: > NTPSERVERARGS=iburst In the /etc/sysconfig/network file? > I didn't see any reference to or in > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, so I am not including it ... > if there should be something, I'd love to know!

You don't need to put hostnames into specific interface configuration files. The computer *works* *out* its host name from its IP. i.e. From the computer's point of view, it's told I'm 192.168.1.2 (by any of several means of configuring an IP). I do a reverse look-up of that IP, and find out that it's george.localdomain. I do a forward look-up of george.localdomain and find out I'm 192.168.1.2 (I could have more than one, and if it's different, I cycle through looking forward and back). I work out that my hostname is george, and my domain name is localdomain (there's a configuration option of how many dots in a name, to handle multiple dots in fully-qualified domain names, to work out the separation between hostname and domain name). The point being that name resolution of what name is associated with what IP, tells me what the hostname is (whether by hosts file, DNS look-ups, or some other method). Rather than hardcoding I am george, into some configuration file. Although that is also possible. > Ping works great between all of the machines for both and > .localdomain, lists the 192.168.10.x address like a happy camper > should > > But a telnet 25 or telnet .localdomain 25 fails. The default configuration for a mail server has it only listening to the local loopback addresses, it needs customising to accept connections from another machine. And may need customising for the domain names that you are using. And, you may have fun with mail is you don't use a DNS server, since hosts files can't answer MX queries. Mailservers will also do the IP/name look-up game that I've already detailed. > I also can't use mail/mailx between the machines.

You might want to expand upon *why* you're wanting to use different FQDNs for machines. That may point out where the snag is. As I outlined, above, how a machine works out its address.

Is it configured to listen on the 192.168.2.x interface? As far as name resolution goes, unless you have a local dns server, you will have to manage /etc/hosts file on each computer if you want computers know each other by name. I much prefer using DNS over managing separate files on separate computers but that is for you to decide. localdomain is fine - some people also use .local (which comports with other service providers such as avahi) - it really doesn't matter as long as what you use is consistent from machine to machine and fits DNS standards (alpha-numerics and dashes) Also - I think you sort of discovered, on redhat systems (and Fedora is of this class)... /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=lin-workstation.azapple.com NTPSERVERARGS=iburst is a reasonable configuration Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Another possibility, iptables might be blocking it. See if your iptables allows new incoming connections on the tcp telnet port. There are other possibilities, but these are the first two I'd check. If you plan to use ssh instead of telnet anyway, is best to do ssh instead. I believe ssh is normally enabled/started. I believe iptables is normally set up to allow incoming ssh connections. I'm not sure the default sshd settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I'd go through those options. Please see man sshd_config I think the default is now only protocol 2 -- good if that's true. I wish the default didn't allow PasswordAuthentication. For testing and getting ssh working, password authentication may be okay. Wouldn't want PasswordAuthentication as my default. Is best to use PubkeyAuthentication, at a minimum, with good keys. I think the default is to allow root login. Wish that were not the case. Make the person ssh in on a normal user account and su to root. Please change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no" Please limit which users can come in over ssh in /etc/sshd_config. Use AllowGroups and/or AllowUsers. Not sure if you want X11Forwarding or not. Some object to security by obscurity, but you might wish to change the ssh port from port 22 to some other port. It doesn't stop hackers if they discover your open ssh port. It slows down those hackers who only look for ssh on port 22. Question for iptables/firewall GUI people... is there a way to specify ip address ranges in any firewall GUIs? Rather than allow new incoming ssh connections from any IP address given by the rule, "-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" I think the OP would like to specify acceptable IP address ranges. The OP sounds like he only wants local hosts coming in. By hand, I would have entries with the source IP address range specified as in -s 192.168.0.0/16, -s 10.0.0.0/8, -s 172.16.0.0/12 I can muck up /etc/sysconfig/iptables manually...most people shouldn't. Bad things can happen if they don't know what they are doing. It would be nice if firewall GUIs did this for them.

You say you tried telnet to port 25 at , have you tried it to the IP-address as well? It seems unlikely this will work, as ping to resolves fine, but just to be sure. On other, is there actually a mailserver listening on port 25? Is there a firewall on or on ?
