I just saw this: https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-14-353-01 which includes this: " A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted packet that can overflow a stack buffer and potentially allow malicious code to be executed with the privilege level of the ntpd process. All NTP4 releases before 4.2.8 are vulnerable." "This vulnerability is resolved with NTP-stable4.2.8

I am running CentOS 5 on a dual-dual-core Intel machine, and I am seeing a load average of between 0.35 and 0.50 while the machine is idle, i.e. no processes appear to be running. Both top and uptime report the same thing. Looking at top, I cannot see any processes that are using CPU time except for top and init, and they are not using enough cycles to push up the load average. According to

I just did an update, and PAM was was one of the modules. Yum has placed /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew and it's different than the existing file, which is actually a link to system-auth-ac. The files are slightly different, and I'm wondering if the differences are important. I can't find any docs on the reason for the change, so before I spend time becoming a PAM expert, I'm

I notice that CentOS 5.6 release notes say that bind97 is now included. However, my CentOS 5.6 installations have bind 9.3. I'm guessing that bind97 is not installed by default, due to the possibility of config file breakage or something. It looks like you have to explicitly install the bind97* packages. I don't see anything in the release notes about how to handle the transition from

Hi All, Hopefully someone with broad overview of CentOS compatibility issues can comment on this: I am evaluating a Supermicro X10SLM motherboard with an Intel E3-1231 v3 CPU. Testing with boots from Live DVDs, the CentOS 6.x family is panicking at boot time. I have tried 6.8, 6.5, and 6.3, and each one panics at slightly different points, but they all seem to fail after udev starts up (or

Hi, I've just started using Dovecot (v1.1.14), and I'm noticing a lot of dictionary attacks. I searched through the documentation and the mailing list archives hoping to find support for tcp_wrappers (hosts.deny) support. I did find some suggested patches in the list from last year, but as far as I can tell, there is no support in the released versions. Is this implemented and

Hi All, I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on a Shuttle with an AMD K10. The version of lm_sensors in the main CentOS repo is 2.10.7, which is two years old now. Support for the K10 was added about a year ago. So, does anyone know if there are binaries available for more recent versions of lm_sensors? Also, if anyone has knowledge of the sensors layout for recent Shuttle AMD motherboards,

Hi All, Please feel free to correct any misconceptions in my premises as I get to my question. I have about 6 ftp services running on a CentOS system that is going down for service, and I want to move the ftp services to a VM on another network. These are all running on Proftpd, with fairly complicated directory/permissions/rate control layouts, as proftpd nicely supports. First, it appears

Hi All, I just upgraded a machine from CentOS 5.3 32-bit to CentOS 5.5 x86_64 using the updater on the release disk. Now that the machine is running 64-bit, I notice that Yum is broken, failing with the following error: ~~~ There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/_rpmmodule.so:

Hi All, I a working on configuring a not-quite minimal installation of CentOS 6.2. I tried doing the "minimal" installation available with the installer, but it's a bit too minimal to be useful. So I'm cutting down from a less minimal starting place. I'm pretty familiar with 5.x, but what I'm finding in 6.2 is a lot of new stuff, and a lot of odd behavior. For example,
