Hello everyone, I know this isn't strictly CentOS query, but I am hoping that someone here with more experience than myself might have some thoughts. I am trying to get a plugin working for Ganglia on a CentOS 5.5 box, in a testing environment. The plugin is for apache monitoring, called Ganglia-Logtailer. This plugin requires the executable /usr/bin/logtail in order to work. The only

Hello all, I have been doing some searching for information about disabling services within a CentOS 5.5 install. I have found a few different opinions, and wanted to ask for some feedback. First off, the system is running a LAMP stack to serve a web application. It will only be doing email to send occasional messages out (sent via the application only). It will not be receiving email for any

Hello All, I have been tasked with getting some configuration management system running at work. We have about 20 web servers running (some virtual and some physical), and we are trying to come up with a tool that will assist setting up new boxes as we bring them online, as well as maintaining existing systems when changes are necessary. After spending a little bit of time searching around

Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with setting up port forwarding from one of our local CentOS machines to an AWS EC2 instance. We are wanting to make mysql connections over an ssh tunnel. In this case, lets say that hostA is our local machine, and hostB is the Amazon EC2 instance. I have tried several different variations (that I have found from google searching), including: from hostA: ssh

Hello Everyone, I am trying to change our /etc/sudoers (using visudo) to allow 2 commands to be run as root without a password, but it isn't working. Here is the part of the sudoers file that is in question. # User alias specification User_Alias FULLACCESS = doug, scott # members of the FULLACCESS User_Alias may run chown and chmod without a password FULLACCESS ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:

Hello everyone, Part of our website has secured access with an SSL certificate. The problem we are running into is that the certificate is for www.domainname.com, so when they go to domainname.com (without the www. in front), the users are getting a "This connection is untrusted" warning, because the url doesn't match the certificate. I found one site that said to make a change to

Hello all, Today, I ran across a directory in /etc/ on one of our servers whose permissions where set to 600 (drw-------) with root being the owner. The directory is for the firewall package for the server, so it is not something malicious. Checking some other systems, they also have this directory and the permissions on those servers is also 600, so it isn't just a messed up permissions on

Hello everyone, I have a CentOS 5 system. On this system, I used the usermod -n and groupmod -g to change the user id and the group id for a standard, regular user from 500 to 1000. I then ran the following commands (as root), to make sure all the files were changed to match: find / -uid 500 -exec chown 1000 {} \; -- and -- find / -gid 500 -exec chgrp 1000 {} \; Now, whenever I try to login

Hello Everyone, I have been tasked at work with setting up a VPN connection from our server to a client's network. The only problem is that I have never done anything like this before, so I am not sure where to start. We are running CentOS 5.4 on our server. I do not yet know what the client is running for their VPN, the only thing I know of from the client, is we need to use IPSec for our

Hi all: I have a question about join domain. If my samba server and domain controller are in different subnet (such = as 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x), two conditions happened: ADS domain 1. if I use domain name, then join fail. 2. if I use IP address of domain controller, join success. However, in both cases I can't retrieve domain users/groups. Is it necessary for samba sever and domain

Hello Everyone, I am trying to exclude a directory (and all file and sub-directories under that directory) when using rsync. I have spent two days on google, but everything that I can find there involves excluding individual files, not an entire directory. I have tried the following commands, but in each case the remove_dir and all of its sub-directories and files area still sent to the remote

I've tried "wins support = true" (and "wins support = yes"... just in case). I stopped and restarted the samba daemons and rebooted the WinXP client. I have no change in the results. Based on something I read in the troubleshooting part of the HowTo, I added the address of the server to the Wins tab in the advanced section of the TCP/IP properties... still no results :(

I suggested it, and not just for common SSH on CentOS questions but for anything that's, well,

Lets see. So are you going to be getting rid of the NT Domain? If not, why not just setup LDAP authentication on the linux box through PAM with the help of a few other modules. It creates a local account based on the authentication success. Works great for me. This also promotes centralized user administration. Is that what you are going after? If not, I apologize for giving you the wrong
