Boot the rescue CD, or if you have enterprise linux, boot CD #1 and type "linux rescue" Allow the system to auto-detect your installation, it will mount to /mnt/sysimage Get to command prompt. chroot /mnt/sysimage vi etc/fstab (maybe no changes necessary.) grub find /boot/grub/stage1 or find /grub/stage1 will return something like (hd0,0) root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) vi boot/grub/grub.conf When you're done, press ctrl-D to end your command prompt.

Problem is that the user on the Windows system also is an Active Directory user, but my Redhat system isn't member of the AD. The user is the user which is running our windows based backup system and it seems impossible to say that system to connect to the filesystem using another userid. So is there a possibility to access the samba share with that AD userid without joining the Linux system to the AD? Maybe by defining a same named user on the Linux box. First attempts in that direction failed, but maybe someone knows a trick? As an alternative the other way is also possible: connect from the Linux box to the AD server's share, but I also didn't get access there.

Also, some HP LaserJets have a feature to fix this in the control menus, for instance: * 1. From the printer?s front control panel, press the *MENU* button until Printing Menu appears. 2. Press the *ITEM* button until *APPEND CR TO LF* appears. 3. Press the *SELECT* button for an asterisk to appear on the display. 4. Press the *GO* button. * I've had that work on a couple of HP LJ 8xxx series printers.

You might want to step back a second, and not do anything hasty. What vulnerability, *specificailly*, do you think affects you? Red Hat will frequently "backport" fixes in major programs (like Apache), to an "older release." Your security scan should have a note about a CVE number, such as "CVE CAN-2003-0542" (that's an old one from 2003). Once you have the vulnerability ID, check to see if Red Hat has fixed it in their "current' 2.0 version of Apache. If they have fixed it in a recent release of an Apache RPM, then you should be safe from this particular attack. Now, it may well be that you have to install Apache 2.2. This will probably break a number of things (as mentioned elsewhere in the thread), since all of the .RPM packages with modules are associated with the 2.0 package. If you still want to build an RPM, then try this command: rpmbuild -ta httpd-2.2.2.tar.gz (obviously, use the actual file you downloaded) -- Jesse Becker GPG-fingerprint: BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <448975D7.2080200@leopard.us.udel.edu> Is there any way to determine which system entitlement shown in the entitlement view in RHN is linked to which contract in the contract renewal screen outside of RHN? It'd be really helpful to be able to determine which _system_ is about to lose its entitlement when it tells you a _contract_ is about to expire. Especially since it's not all that hard to get them mismatched if you ever delete and re-register a system. And of course, comparing the base channel to the contract only helps if you don't have more than one of each. ;-) -g Greg Forte gforte at udel.edu IT - User Services University of Delaware 302-831-1982 Newark, DE From cperry at redhat.com Fri Jun 9 13:28:53 2006 From: cperry at redhat.com (Clifford Perry) Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2006 09:28:53 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] matching contracts to entitlements in RHN?

Currently no. If you wish to contact support to submit a customer feature request, then please do so. All entitlements basically go into a big pool. When an entitlement expires, the pool total goes down by one. If you had say 6 AS entitlements, with only4 AS systems registered and then one AS entitlement expired, the pool total will go down to 5, with no affect on the 4 AS systems registered. If though you had 6 AS entitlements, with 6 AS systems registered and one AS entitlements expired, then you want to know which system will lose its AS entitlements. This is in fact documented within rhe RHN Reference guide as: https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/help/reference/rhn405/en/s1-sm-systems.jsp#S2-SM-SYSTEMS-ENTITLEMENTS "When an entitlement expires, the last system entitled to the same service level (such as Management) will be unentitled. For instance, if you have 10 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS systems entitled to Management and either one of the RHN entitlements or one of the operating system subscriptions expire, the last system subscribed or entitled will have their subscription or entitlement removed." It is a simple last in, first out algorithm.

When we try to create an ext3 filesystem over 1TB we get a bunch of errors in the messages file. Creating 1TB or less is OK. The Linux kernel is 2.4. Has anyone been successful in creating a filesystem > 1TB, specifically with RAID 5? Is there a specific patch for the 2.4 kernel that may be needed, perhaps? Thank you.

In my case, it is "/usr/lib". # ldd /usr/sbin/httpd | grep libaprutil libaprutil-0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0 (0x0028b000) Then make sure that the library exists in that directory. Also check "/etc/ld.so.conf" to see if "/usr/lib" is specified as one of the search paths. If not, you may want to add it, then run "ldconfig" so that the "/etc/ld.so.cache" file is updated. However, it typically should find it in "/usr/lib" without having to modify "/etc/ld.so.conf". Lastly, make sure that the version of the library shown by "ldd" matches the one on your system. Perhaps the httpd binary is incompatible with the version of the library you have.

Well *I* heard that Red Hat was wanting to keep all vfs code in common and in the base kernel.. and Mr Reiser refused and would not let his vfs code go from his filesystem module. But then we also have no other journaling filesystems either (JFS, XFS, etc), so that lends itself to the theory that RH is just wanting to upsell their customers to use GFS for everything. Anyway, now even if you try to add the reiser module to the Red Hat kernel, you'll see that Red Hat went to far as to remove all the "hooks" for even including the module in their kernel! Wow.. That's not cool... You either have to totally hack up the RH kernel manually (which often breaks the "patching house of cards"), or just go ahead and violate the RH support contract and switch to a standard kernel.org kernel. That really sucks. I'm a big Red Hat guy myself... but I'll be the first to say that this stance of theirs is one of their biggest mistakes (right up there with their previous stance of leaving out the latest MySQL for licensing reasons). Just plain stupid and they need to give in. Their stance kind of takes Red Hat out of the "Enterprise OS Circle" if you ask me. If one has fast journaling FS needs, they would be better off either running Fedora Core, the modified CentOS kernel, or if you need the enterprise SLAs, maybe even SLES (Novel).

From Carl.Provencher at sit.ulaval.ca Mon Jun 19 14:26:17 2006 From: Carl.Provencher at sit.ulaval.ca (Carl Provencher) Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 10:26:17 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Re: ReiserFS and tuning ext3 Message-ID: <9E2BC11B1978AC4D9FC1D7529481709D1DBFF3@exch-charlie.ulaval.ca> Hi every one, We actually have a big problem with the time of our system backup takes (Networker from Legato). We made a lot of tests and we conclude that problem causes by the random distribution of our data on partition. Our application is a mail server with cyrus-imapd (and murder fonctionnality) . We have 4 back ends with 200 Gb and 6 393 124 files. I made a little perl program to create a random distribution and we made this test: * Take a full backup. * Empty partition * Did a full restore * At this moment the data was stored in a same order of directory * We took a full backup: the thru put was ok (approx 8 Mb/sec) * We run my perl program to create a random distrution * We took another full backup: the thru put was drop to 4Mb/sec. We are sure that the problem was cause because ext3 filesystems didn't optimized the location where it writes a new file. When we made a full backup, the backup process read file in the order of ext3 index (backup files in 1st directory, files of 2nd directory and so on), i.-e.: read sequentially data distributed randomly on disk. The head of drive move randomly from border to center of drive. If data was physically grouping (it's not case) by directory, that minimize the head drive movement and optimized a cache drive usage. We actually made test with ReiserFS to verify if, like his reputation said, it more preferment with a million of little files. We have this problem with all of our back ends and with an e-learning web server (WebCT) with 8 millions of files. This problem cause our full backup takes approximatively 20 hours. This problem obliges us to add back ends (for mail system) rather than to increase our disk space on back ends. This is more expensive. Some body experience same problem with ext3 or with another file system and what you do to solve it? If you have a web link, go4it.

So because of this, dump for ext3 by default doesn't benefit from caching. By skimming the man page, I don't see any way to change this behavior. Does anybody know if this can be changed? What is the recommended method to backup reiser? Is there a dump for reiser? Does it behave the same as dump for ext3? > -----Original Message----- > From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Carl Provencher > Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 10:26 AM > To: Red Hat Network Users List > Subject: RE: [rhn-users] Re: ReiserFS and tuning ext3 > > Hi every one, > > We actually have a big problem with the time of our system > backup takes (Networker from Legato).

This allows far more disk drive heads to cover your data increasing the probability that some head will be nearer your data than now. From my studies, I've seen a 90% increase in speed. For millions of little files, defragmentation is a good thing and works for you. If you have, say, 2 huge files (index and data) then not so good. Shuffling 2 files like a deck of cards is better for that. Another thing to try is copy your active disk to a backup disk first, then to tape. Tapes have a characteristic that if you do not provide data in time, they must stop, rewind a little, and start again - killing your throughput. Disk to disk first should remove that by effectively defragmenting the backup disk.

You can, however, download full ISO images, for each update level, from RHN. You can then proceed by booting from the first CD and (eventually) select the upgrade option instead of a normal installation. I had a similar problem where I needed to downgrade. I couldn't find any "normal" way to do it but eventually resorted to manually rpm -Uhv --force all packages directly from the ISO images. /Lennart tisdag 20 juni 2006 15:56 skrev Steve Mertz: > Hi. > > We currently have a WS 3.0 system that we want to upgrade.

You may want to check the archives as I think there was an "official" response in it. I can't remember exactly what was said but I don't think that RH supports MySQL 5.x You could always download the MySQL version that you want and install that instead. I did that and had almost no problems. I think all that I had to do was rename/re-link some library files. Of course, by doing so you don't receive the bug fixes, etc. that RH puts out for a package and you must manually keep track of updates. But version 5.x provides some significant upgrades, so it was worth it in my case.

Building packages from RHEL 4 on RHEL 3 will likely fail the dependency checks. The compilers, tools, and libraries are different too. RHEL 4 uses gcc 3.4 while RHEL 3 uses 3.2 or 3.3 I believe. Your best bet, to get the most up to date and most secure network services is to move up to RHEL 4. --Cal Webster On Thu, 2006-06-22 at 14:22, Tom Miller wrote: > I went to Redhat web site and > download httpd-2.0.55-2.el4s1.8.src.rpm > The above package is for RedHat ES 4.0 > > > However, my redhat server still run on Redhat ES 3.0. > Can I used the httpd-2.0.55-2.el4s1.8.src.rpm built on my > RedHat ES 3.0? > > > In general, It shouldn't work but I don't really know > RedHat too well so I hope some of you might know. > > Thanks, > Tom > > _______________________________________________ > rhn-users mailing list > rhn-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users From philippe.cavailles at tlse.sofreavia.fr Fri Jun 23 14:03:03 2006 From: philippe.cavailles at tlse.sofreavia.fr (Philippe CAVAILLES) Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 16:03:03 +0200 Subject: [rhn-users] Total amount of system memory continually increases! Message-ID: <449BF497.3020902@tlse.sofreavia.fr> Dear ReadHead users, I use heartbeat software from Linux HA (http://www.linux-ha.org/) on my Linux RedHat ES3 servers (Kernel version server1: 2.4.21-4.ELsmp and Kernel version server2: 2.4.21-40.ELsmp with 1Go of RAM). I face up to the following problem: When heartbeat is running the total amount of system memory continually increases (command: ?free ?mk? or ?top ? first part?) but memory used by all the processes and threads running on the system is stable (heartbeat too! I use the command ?top? column SIZE, RSS). The swap used is always equal to 0ko and when I stop heartbeat the total amount of system memory become stable again but doesn?t decrease. And, when the full memory is used ??.. The system freeze. I don?t understand where this memory could be lost. Does someone have an idea? Does someone have met the same problem? I my mind the problem is not due to the use of heartbeat softwate but maybe to some systems or loaded modules calls triggered by heartbeat. How can I track the memory used by the kernel and the load modules (event if, I think that heartbeat run in user space)?

First of all, Travers: he's already got hardware raid, he said as much: "... went into the RAID BIOS ...". It's built-in to the 6800 series. Sead: your foremost problem is that you don't have enough disk space for any kind of meaningful redundancy if you need 100+ GB. RAID0 isn't really RAID at all (unless you replace "redundant" with "risky") - RAID0 stripes the data across N of N disks with no parity data, which means if one disk fails the whole system is gone. Instantly. It's basically JBOD with a performance boost due to multiplexing reads and writes. To put it bluntly, no one in their right mind runs the OS off of a RAID0 volume. Beyond that, I'm surprised (impressed?) that the OS even still boots - after the conversion any data on the disks should be scrap. Maybe the newer Dell RAID controllers are able to convert non-destructively. I'll assume that's true, in which case the reason the OS doesn't see the difference is because you still need to change both the partition size (in this case, the logical volume extent size) and the filesystem itself. In which case you COULD theoretically use lvextend to enlarge the LVM volume, and then resize2fs to grow the filesystem (assuming it's ext2/3, which it almost definitely is). BUT, there's still the problem I mentioned above. The first thing you need to do is fix the physical disk problem. Depending on how the machine is configured, this may be easy or hard. A 6800 has 10 drive slots on the main storage backplane (the bays on the right), and if the two existing drives are on that backplane then it _should_ be a simple matter of buying a third 73GB disk, installing it, going into the RAID BIOS and converting again to RAID5 (assuming it can also do that conversion without trashing the disks - I'm guessing it can if it did RAID1 to RAID0), and then doing lvextend and resize2fs as described above (I know, you want more detail, but you need the disk first ;-) BUT ... I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the machine was configured with the 1x2 secondary backplane in the peripheral bay area on the left. If that's the case, then you're not going to be able to add a third disk in that area, and I don't think you can configure a raid with disk members on different backplanes - and even if you can, I'd guess the 10 bays in the main storage are all filled, or it wouldn't be configured with the extra backplane to begin with. You'd have to check with Dell tech support about that, to be sure. But assuming all of my guesses are right, the only option left is going to be to buy two larger disks and configure them for RAID1, just like the two 73's you've got now. The other bad news in that situation is that you're probably going to have to reinstall from scratch - you could probably manage to image from the existing volume to the new one, but it's also almost surely going to end up being more effort (if you've never done that sort of thing before) than simply re-installing. Good luck! Once you do get the disk situation worked out, let us know and I (or someone else) can help you through the lvextend+resize2fs, if necessary.

I had same problem with a hp dl320 that got shipped with the sata option. The only raid option was software raid although hardware raid was possible from a windows OS. The scsi option backplane did support linux on a 5i+ plus raid controller. My apologies I was not aware the pe 6800 supported linux hardware raid. rgds Trav ________________________________ From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com on behalf of Greg Forte Sent: Mon 26/06/2006 09:58 To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: Re: [rhn-users] LVM Wow, where to start ... First of all, Travers: he's already got hardware raid, he said as much: "... went into the RAID BIOS ...". It's built-in to the 6800 series. Sead: your foremost problem is that you don't have enough disk space for any kind of meaningful redundancy if you need 100+ GB. RAID0 isn't really RAID at all (unless you replace "redundant" with "risky") - RAID0 stripes the data across N of N disks with no parity data, which means if one disk fails the whole system is gone. Instantly. It's basically JBOD with a performance boost due to multiplexing reads and writes. To put it bluntly, no one in their right mind runs the OS off of a RAID0 volume. Beyond that, I'm surprised (impressed?) that the OS even still boots - after the conversion any data on the disks should be scrap. Maybe the newer Dell RAID controllers are able to convert non-destructively. I'll assume that's true, in which case the reason the OS doesn't see the difference is because you still need to change both the partition size (in this case, the logical volume extent size) and the filesystem itself. In which case you COULD theoretically use lvextend to enlarge the LVM volume, and then resize2fs to grow the filesystem (assuming it's ext2/3, which it almost definitely is). BUT, there's still the problem I mentioned above. The first thing you need to do is fix the physical disk problem. Depending on how the machine is configured, this may be easy or hard. A 6800 has 10 drive slots on the main storage backplane (the bays on the right), and if the two existing drives are on that backplane then it _should_ be a simple matter of buying a third 73GB disk, installing it, going into the RAID BIOS and converting again to RAID5 (assuming it can also do that conversion without trashing the disks - I'm guessing it can if it did RAID1 to RAID0), and then doing lvextend and resize2fs as described above (I know, you want more detail, but you need the disk first ;-) BUT ... I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the machine was configured with the 1x2 secondary backplane in the peripheral bay area on the left. If that's the case, then you're not going to be able to add a third disk in that area, and I don't think you can configure a raid with disk members on different backplanes - and even if you can, I'd guess the 10 bays in the main storage are all filled, or it wouldn't be configured with the extra backplane to begin with. You'd have to check with Dell tech support about that, to be sure. But assuming all of my guesses are right, the only option left is going to be to buy two larger disks and configure them for RAID1, just like the two 73's you've got now. The other bad news in that situation is that you're probably going to have to reinstall from scratch - you could probably manage to image from the existing volume to the new one, but it's also almost surely going to end up being more effort (if you've never done that sort of thing before) than simply re-installing. Good luck! Once you do get the disk situation worked out, let us know and I (or someone else) can help you through the lvextend+resize2fs, if necessary. I suspect you won't end up needing that, though. -g Travers Hogan wrote: > It looks as if you have software raid 1. You cannot change this-you must rebuild your system.

You must (see below) remove those packages before you can remove MySQL. If you are not going to use MySQL then I don't see any problems removing the dependant packages (although they may be prerequisites to other packages). On the other hand, if you prefer to keep the packages or are going to install MySQL again, then you can use either the --force or --no-deps option (I forget which; `man rpm` will explain which to use) to remove MySQL. As to the last part of your question there is no libmysqlclient package; it is a part of the mysql package. I don't believe that there is an intuitive way to know that but you can do some digging around on RHN. eg. Since you know that the libmysqlclient files must have something to do with MySQL you can search your system on RHN for all packages containg the name "mysql" and then see which package has the libmysqlclient files.

First, you need to extend the partition. run fdisk, delete both the linux LVM partition (sda5) and the extended partition (sda4) - scary, huh? ;-) Then recreate them, first the extended, starting at cylinder 284 and filling the available space (out to 17816). Then recreate sda5, also starting at 284 and filling the available space. Make sure you get the types set correctly (fdisk should set sda4's automatically to 5, but you'll have to set sda5's to 8e manually). triple check everything before you commit changes - at least you can quit without committing if there's any doubt. Assuming that works and nothing's toasted yet (you might want to reboot just to verify that it's not busted), run pvdisplay again and it should say something like 4400 Total PE, 2112 still allocated, whatever the difference is Free. If so, run vgdisplay and it should similarly show a bunch more Free PE. Run this: lvextend -t -l +## /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 that's a lowercase L for the -l option, not a 1, and replace ## with the value that was shown on the left for "Free PE" when you ran vgdisplay. -t tells it to test - it won't actually make the change. Assuming everything's right, you should get something like: Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated. Extending logical volume LogVol00 to 144.00 GB Logical volume LogVol00 successfully resized Obviously, the size shown will probably be different. If you see that then re-run the lvextend command above without the -t option, and you'll have extended the volume. Now all you need to do is expand the filesystem: resize2fs -p /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 note that you aren't specifying a size; resize2fs will automatically detect the size of the "partititon" (logical volume) and grow the filesystem to fill it. There's no test mode for resize2fs, but it's pretty foolproof. The -p option just makes it display a progress bar. And that should be it! If that all worked, 'df' should now show your newly grown disk. If not, you'll have to start over from scratch, I'm afraid. In retrospect, an easier way to fix this would've been to simply split the RAID1 mirror, boot from one of the disks, then extend the volume group to the second disk and then extend the logical volume as described above. But you'd already run the conversion, I guess. You could try converting it back and doing that instead, but that'll take forever - the process described above should only take a few minutes - assuming it doesn't blow everything away. ;-) Good luck, again! -g Sead Dzelil (Student) wrote: > OK.

It looks like the OS sees the drive at the new size now (/dev/sda 146.5GB), but the partitions still reflect the previous sizes. You might be able to use parted to extend the partitions (4 & 5), but you might whack the OS when doing this. The next issue would be trying to get the PV /dev/sda5 to recognize the new size - not sure if it will do this or not. At that point you could just use lvextend to grow the LV that needed to be larger and then use ext2online to resize the filesystem on that LV on the fly. I'm trying to figure out your disk partition layout. sda1 is obviously the Dell system partition sda2 looks like a Window partition, but why would you have a Windows partition on a server sda3 looks like /boot sda4 is the rest of the disk (sda5 consists of sda4) sda5 is your only LVM PV I only see 2 LVs I guess one is / and the other is for your app - do you not have a swap space? Maybe the output of "cat /etc/fstab" would clear this up or the output of "df -hl" You might really want to consider reloading this server and separating some of the stuff from / - especially /var so an out of control log file doesn't crash your server by filling up the root filesystem. -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com]On Behalf Of Sead Dzelil (Student) Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 6:37 PM To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: Re: [rhn-users] LVM OK.

I too have noticed that sometimes my keyboard/mouse disappears, and I found a workaround. I forget what it is right now - haven't had to think about it for 12-14 months or so, but I put a post-it note on the wall next to the server. The next time I'm in (should be tomorrow) I'll tell you what is written on my post-it. Offhand, I seem to remember something about ... The keyboard, mouse, and monitor must be connected during post, or else the system board deactivates them. They can be reactivated by software (windows kernel does it, and some linux kernels do it) but sometimes I found myself in a no-hands situation. I think the workaround was to hook up a KVM, so there's always a keyboard/mouse/monitor attached. But I'll tell you what's on my post-it tomorrow. It might be more enlightening. > -----Original Message----- > From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Konkle, > Daniel T AMRDEC/Dynetics > Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 5:13 PM > To: rhn-users at redhat.com > Subject: [rhn-users] Ps/2 keyboard and mouse problems > > So we have been running a file server with RHEL3 for some > time.

(I know I saw it somewhere, but I can't find it again now for some reason.) I happen to know that some versions of RHEL are built without the PERC driver. I would suggest contacting Dell support to ask them if you're running the right version of the OS. Also, you're not trying to do this on the fly, are you? There's no way that can possibly work. This defintiely requries at least one reboot. And 99% certain it involves reinstalling the OS too. FWIW, the last time I worked on LVM, I wrote a very simple cheatsheet to help me remember stuff. Here ya go: ------- analogies for people who usually use fdisk/partition tools: A physical disk has a partition of type 8E, Linux LVM The partition can be made into a physical volume with pvcreate. You can add physical volumes to a volume group with vgcreate A volume group is a virtual disk, whose storage resides on physical volumes. A volume group can be split into logical volumes with lvcreate. Logical volumes are virtual partitions. You can change the size of a logical volume with lvextend or lvreduce. If you create some new physical volumes, you can add them to an existing volume group using vgextend. This will create some more space that you can use in lvextend.

Then recreate sda5, also starting at 284 and filling the available space. Make sure you get the types set correctly (fdisk should set sda4's automatically to 5, but you'll have to set sda5's to 8e manually). triple check everything before you commit changes - at least you can quit without committing if there's any doubt. > > Assuming that works and nothing's toasted yet (you might want to reboot just to verify that it's not busted), run pvdisplay again and it should say something like 4400 Total PE, 2112 still allocated, whatever the difference is Free.

There probably is (I'm not going to bother researching it), but it is a really bad idea to do that, as the telnet protocol sends clear text passwords over the network... assuming you are not on a kerberized system/subnet. Realisitically, you should also edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the "PermitRootLogin" option. Setting it to "without-password" will allow you to log in if you have the appropriate /root/.ssh/authroized_keys permissions.

Add the following to /etc/securetty pts/0 pts/1 pts/2 pts/3 pts/4 pts/5 pts/6 pts/7 pts/8 pts/9 This will allow 10 telnet connections for root. The obvious security implications here are that you're exposing yourself to sending your root password over the wire in clear text. Anyone sniffing ethernet traffic between your desktop and the server can pick up this password. This is why, by default, Red Hat has disabled this ability. Root logins over ssh are controlled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. If you ever wanted to disable remote root logins over ssh (another good idea) set the following: PermitRootLogins no And then restart sshd. # /etc/init.d/sshd restart -- Fred Chagnon [fchagnon at loyalty.com] Senior UNIX Administrator, AIR MILES(r) Reward Program The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments may be privileged and confidential.

There probably is (I'm not going to bother researching it), but it is a really bad idea to do that, as the telnet protocol sends clear text passwords over the network... assuming you are not on a kerberized system/subnet. Realisitically, you should also edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the "PermitRootLogin" option. Setting it to "without-password" will allow you to log in if you have the appropriate /root/.ssh/authroized_keys permissions.

You never know where someone goes to with their web browsers. You never know who has a password hacked. All you need is either a malicious, soon-to-be-former employee, OR a clueless user who keeps passwords on post-it notes tacked to their monitors, or some equally clueless user who clicks on every link in an email sent to him or her (or clicks on all those embedded advertisement links in pages), and you have an instant way for your internal systems to be attacked. Telnet also does not provide sufficient logging facilities for forensics of break-ins. With ssh, you will get the necessary forensics, especially if you set the logging level high enough.

You actually trust your users? You are certain that they don't have the capability to install a sniffer? Are you really sure that they haven't accidentally installed a Trojan by clicking on some web site or opening some email? You are really sure that they haven't opened up their desktop to some determined hacker somewhere who is now using their desktop to scan you network so that he/she can extend their influence and grab more machines on your network..? You are sure that there isn't an insecure WiFi port somewhere that broadcasts out to a parking lot across the street? You are sure that one of your employee's 15 year old kids hasn't came to work today with their laptop and plugged into your network? Don't think it can't happen to you, that's the worst sort of security problem you can have. If there is any Internet connectivity in your organization at all, then you have to be as paranoid as possible at all times or you will eventually be hacked. As for your switches protecting you... don't bet the farm on it. There are many possibilities that might allow somebody to still sniff your network. Don't ever feel safe or comfortable, you loose your edge as an administrator. You have to constantly think of every possible security flaw you system might have and actively defend your network against these things. I heavily recommend you pick up some books on hacking and read them (even setup a sandbox network to test things out yourself). The first time you see the results of how easy it can be to break into your own network, you'll see why people are suggesting you don't use telnet for your root account. Frankly, I haven't used telnet since the '99; I only use SSH and never as root directly. I always log in as a non-privileged account and then su to root. Never, ever, ever trust anyone. Your job is to defend your network and protect the data. There is no such thing as being too paranoid. Trust me, hack your own network and you'll never rest easy again. - Sean On Thu, 2006-06-29 at 12:10 -0700, Bill Watson wrote: > I have heard often the trauma of sending passwords in clear text over the > network.

But in the days of switched networks, if you are in an office environment you cannot see your neigbhors network traffic, because the switch simply does not send it to your switch port. Therefore it is a switch, not a hub. You only see _your_ traffic and the broadcasts. And in these there is no passwords. So the only people who maybe sniff your password is the network stuff who has access to the switch itself or to the patch panels. More risky is your PC itself. Maybe you have installed a trojan keylogger or so, that would be bad, but that would be also bad if you use ssh. So, I am the same opinion that these root login over telnet in an office environment is paranoia. If you telnet over internet to you server that is another story. Am I right? If not please tell me why. BTW. if you have to use HPUX servers you only can connect via telnet because the ssh implementation of HPUX is extremly slow, a few minutes (!) until the ssh connection is established. :-( Bye Thorsten From gforte at leopard.us.udel.edu Thu Jun 29 21:08:09 2006 From: gforte at leopard.us.udel.edu (Greg Forte) Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2006 17:08:09 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Root login with telnet In-Reply-To: <001e01c69bbf$1befd880$2864a8c0@PC1> References: <017701c69baf$a6435350$09000032@bill> <1151609441.3251.15.camel@afas-20.las.iastate.edu> <001e01c69bbf$1befd880$2864a8c0@PC1> Message-ID: <44A44139.5020301@leopard.us.udel.edu> Hugo Simon wrote: > So, I am the same opinion that these root login over telnet in an office > environment is paranoia.

I knew I was stepping in it before I hit send. Many of my users have to first be taught the subtle differences between typing a delete key vs a backspace. This is both a blessing and a burden. Bubba and Chainsaw have problems reading the keys and are convinced some of them are spelled wrong. I am starting to think that 'num lock' should have been labeled 'numb lock'. The only disgruntled employee that caused problems has now 2 felony convictions for data tampering and took 10 minutes to fix and was documented with 100 pages of logs. I didn't think she was that stupid, but she proved me wrong. As far as a trojan sniffer goes, with everything on switches instead of hubs, how would one sniffer ever see the packet passed between anybody else? >From all the network monitoring tools (professional sniffers) documentation that I have read, switches defeat these tools from operation. How wouldn't it also defeat malicious sniffers? If there are sniffers that can blow through switches, then I need to get software made by these folks as the expensive stuff isn't up to the task. Understanding how something can blow through a switch will help me protect against it. I have wifi, but all (both) access points are secure. So far my only hack (knock on wood) was when I had a RedHat machine that had port 22 ssh open. So now I do, and I advise others to lock that down tight as well. Without doubt, ssh port 22 is not immune. I do not deny that some super clever trojan could eat my lunch, but as of today I have read nothing about anything capable of reading packets that are not directed to their port on an unmanaged switch. I guess I consider myself a realistic paranoid. One actual example of a switch blowing sniffer would get me to change immediately, but zero won't.

You mean, like MAC Spoofing/flooding or ARP Poisoning? (http://www.sans.org/resources/idfaq/switched_network.php) Don't ever assume your net traffic can't be sniffed. Another possibility is compromising your switch. If you run something like Cisco IOS and somebody manages to get your management password... they can just mirror all the ports to a sniffing box. > > I have wifi, but all (both) access points are secure. > And you know that because..?

(For more info, google away. There are plenty of results). Ok, seriously now. Please get a couple of hacking books, setup a sandbox network, and start hacking your own test boxes. Setup sniffers and try to ARP poison your own network. Drag a laptop around to scan your wireless networks to see if you can steal encryption codes and crack them. Good Luck! - Sean
