Hi I use yumdownloader occasionally to grab RPMS. One thing that confuses me though is the --source option. I thought this would mean rather than getting the RPM that it would retrieve the source RPM. But it appears this isn't the case. Can anyone explain what this option actually relates to ?

Hi Everyone I am wondering if many people are using software that acts as a password safe. And if so can you recommend any software in particular? I know many people will disagree with this idea, and I myself have always followed the printed list stored in a secure location. But in our particular situation keeping this single list current and correct while ensuring that regular password

Hi People I am setting up some systems with ssh public keys and as part of this I am using the from directive inside .ssh/authorized_keys. Currently I am using the IP address to control the source. eg from="10.0.0.1" but on one CentOS 4 System that is up to date this will only work if I replace the IP with the DNS name of the server. I have verified that DNS is resolving the DNS

Hi People, I know this may seem off topic, but I thought for those of us who might have Debian users generating key pairs that they put on CentOS systems people should be aware that everybody who generated a public/private keypair or an SSL cert request on Debian or Ubuntu from 2006 on is vulnerable http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/05/13/1533212.shtml

Hi list, I do not known, if this is really an issue but i noticed that when connecting to a remote ssh host with the standard linux openssh client using a private key, that there is no line of text indicating when the local key-passwd process was completed and the connection session was established. On a compromised host, the login shell could write the line 'Enter passphrase for key

Hi Clint, systemd-networkd doesn't use those files at all.

Hi, In a recent security review some systems I manage were flagged due to supporting "weak" ciphers, specifically the ones listed below. So first question is are people generally modifying the list of ciphers supported by the ssh client and sshd? On CentOS 6 currently it looks like if I remove all the ciphers they are concerned about then I am left with Ciphers

Yum using proxy that requires authentication and a Password that contains the two characters \/ fails normally I can get yum to work with a proxy that requires authentication when required by doing something like http_proxy=http://<my username>:<my password>@<proxy server>:<proxy server port> export http_proxy or by filling in the appropriate information in yum.conf.

Hi Everyone, I am currently reviewing the DNS records for the organization I work for and have one area I would like other peoples thoughts on. Would there ever be a situation where you need to have multiple A records pointing to the same IP Address? Currently we have a small number of cases where one IP Address has multiple A Records. This seems like a bad idea to me and I would replace

We had an incident recently where an openssh client and server were replaced with trojanned versions (it has SKYNET ASCII-art in the binary, if anyone's seen it. Anyone seen the source code ?). The trojan ssh & sshd both logged host/user/password, and probably had a login backdoor. Someone asked me what was their exposure if they used public/private keys instead of passwords. My

Hi People, I have just started building my own RPMS on both Fedora and CentOS and generally things have gone well. Currently I am trying to create RPMS for some commercial software that we have purchased. Step 1 was install the software using its JAVA Based installer ensuring that all files were installed into a particular directory in /usr/local. Step 2 was create a tar file of the

Hi, I am trying to get a CentOS 6 system relaying mail via my G-Mail account. I followed the instructions found at https://www.zulius.com/how-to/set-up-postfix-with-a-remote-smtp-relay-host/but there seems to be a problem with authentication. I have done some research but still can't get this working. Any suggestions ? It seems the user and password are correct. Dec 27 23:15:36 hbc

Hi, I am trying to create a custom initrd that will work with PXE Booting on CentOS release 4.5 (Final) and Fedora Core 6. Can anyone point me to some documentation that will help with this ? The specific situation is that we have received some machines that need the latest e1000 Driver from Intel in order to detect the network card. If I install the systems without network and then do

Hi People I am trying to build a piece of software from source in this case aide 0.13.1 using this config line ./configure --with-zlib --with-selinux.

Hello, I work for a school in a New Zealand university and we are wanting to implement Server Virtualization for both CentOS and Windows systems. So I thought I would ask here what experience people have had with this and what issues that you all think should be considered? From my own research it seems that VMWare or Xen are really the two major products to be considered, are there any

Hi, Can anyone else confirm that AllowGroup is no longer an accepted configuration option for openssh-server-4.3p2-29.el5. And is this intended or should I be submitting a Bug Report ? Thanks

Hi, Today I have updated a CentOS 6.8 system that has MariaDB-server installed from http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos6-amd64 and found that I had an SELinux issue. I know this is not really CentOS related, but thought I would check if anyone else on this list uses this repository and has also seen a problem ? Using the information at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux I have created a local

Hi, I am trying to install CentOS 5.2 on a Dell PowerEdge R905, and a problem that you run into is that the DVD Drive on the system is not recognized by the kernel. I have done some searching on the web and found http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_13121.shtm and obtained the driver disk that it mentions. Having followed the instructions I can see and select the driver disk image but the
