yesterday I installed my first CentOS system. Before I was always using Debian for my servers. When I configured my vsftpd I was just wondering how to setup xinetd or inetd for listening on ports and starting vsftpd. I found /etc/xinetd.d. But there is no xinetd installed by default. Why? Shall I start all my services in standalone mode? What is the concept of CentOS in this issue?

I installed Subversion and xinetd and added Subversion as a service to xinetd.conf as instructed at http://www.codeandcoffee.com/2007/06...rver-on-linux/
I restarted the xinetd service using /sbin/service. however, Subversion does not end up being listed in /etc/xinetd.d nor does it seem to be running and occupying the port altogether.
When ever I have an issue with our LDAP server (which I was able to fix) we see the following errors in /var/log/messages and it causes problems with our services running on that box, e.g. httpd, nrpe, xinetd, etc. Aug 8 17:44:42 hostname httpd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://serveraddress/: Can't contact LDAP server Aug 8 17:44:42 hostname httpd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 64 seconds)... I am only wanting to authenticate SSH and Sudo and not services like httpd, nrpe, xinetd etc.

But, "yum list|grep samba" gives me only version 3.0.33. Is there a package of Samba I can grab that will upgrade the 3.0 installation so that I don't have two laying around? If not and I need to compile from source, do you have any suggestions for what arguments I should give configure? I'm not used to Linux coming from the BSD world
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up my CentOS server and I'm having issue with the VNC server. I've set up xinetd services for connections all of which work individually bringing me to a login window. But only one will work at a time. If I kill the process or if I click the disconnect button I can make a new one but as they are terminal sessions (using wait) I wanted to be able to leave one logged in and have the option of another connection if I wanted to log on a different user.
Can someone help with the setting which would be to allow more than one connection? I know if you setup permanent session paths in vncserver this should work but (and I'm sure this has worked for me in the past) the xinetd method is supposed to open up sessions as required. I am working from a write-up for doing this in Ubuntu and aside from odd path differences the only noticeable change is the guide uses vnc4server rather than vncserver that comes pre-installed on CentOS. Should that matter?
I am having trouble logging into a newly installed CentOS 5.3 box. I can SSH into the machine with root but can not do so with any normal users. I get the error, "connection refused." My firewall is currently turned off.

I am trying to configure SNMP server using xinetd on red hat. I am using non-standard port for it. My connection to server fails. I see the following log messages in /var/log:

in Debian Lenny, using TightVNC 1.3.9 I can setup a VNC server manually by using
Code:
vncserver -query localhost -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 :1
But then, as I have read is a better option, I use xinetd with the following configuration:
Code:
service vnc-1024x768x16
{
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
[Code].....
In fact, I was considering that the problem was with xinetd, but I have other services setted up with it (telnet & ftp for example) and I can use them correctly.
So now I'm lost with this, what else am I not considering with VNC service through xinetd? Where can I find logs or useful information to get a clue about this problems?
when I installed my server I had an FTP server running, I thought it was vsftpd. I stopped vsftpd one day though, and I could still FTP into my server. This mystery FTP daemon is SFTP (using port 22), and now it does not work. I've tried enabling vsftpd and I still cannot connect to my server. I've checked my firewall and I have FTP and SSH allowed. What might this mystery FTP program have been?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a java server console program that I have configured xinetd to start when connection comes in on a given port and then the program runs in an infinite loop receiving inputstream from telephone exchanges. The thing is, when a new chunk of stream comes from the exchange xinetd forks a new process each time. I tried setting the wait parameter to yes and restarted the deamon, but no success. How can I stop this behavior and have the deamon just direct the stream to the process already running? Am I missing something in my config or is it just incorrect?
My config is as follow:
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 50 10
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
And then my actual config,
service aos_larmar
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
type = UNLISTED
wait = yes
instances = 256
server = /home/gunnl/java/start.sh
port = 5204
disable = no
}
My server OS is, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 7)
I found a way to capture emails sent from my Drupal installation, and Fakemail seems simple enough. I can follow the tutorial. Since the application Fakemail needs to be running to capture the outgoing emails, it seems like a good candidate for xinetd, yes? I've found a simple config tutorial describing starting the service and what the parameters are for the service-specific configuration files. This got me this far,
Code:
# default: on
# description: This is a script to start the Sandbox app "fakemail"
service fakemail
[code]....
But the service is not starting up. Will someone help me with this config file? Or, recommend another application which uses a similar configuration like Sendmail so I can copy this The Fakemail application/service is started from command line like so,
# fakemail.py --host=localhost --port=10025 --path=[path_to_email_textfile]

Is there a way to limit the time an instance of a service can run? For example, I want to limit all telnet sessions to 30 mins. Users will be automatically logged out after 30 mins.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to change my MySQL default port(3306) as 80 how can i do this on centOS 5.2? I tired to add
[client]

to /etc/my.cnf and different command in this file. But mysql didn't start. How can do this? I'll use server only as mysql and ftp server.
I was working on a shell script to change the permissions of large directories and subdirectories because of an exploit discovered in the programs that run in those said directories that allow a client to upload and download files to the server. Loan behold I accidentally added a space and had something along the lines of "chmod -R 770 ." run on / logged in as root.
Yes, it was an incredibly noob move on my part, but nothing ventured nothing gained. I am surprisingly calm about this. I tried sliding in my CentOS installation disk and "Upgrading" CentOS but that only made it worse, beforehand I made everything owned by root so I could at least log into GNOME. This does not work for obvious reasons, namely having to change the permissions back for every user and every group, which far beyond a possibility.
Running a server using CentOS 5.5 (yum updated, x86_64), found that when using /usr/sbin/useradd to create system user, the quota for the user will default set to 5M soft and 10M hard (on /var/spool/mail partition). As remember the default setting for user quota should be both zero when create a new user.
man useradd and quota related command and no help, had any idea how to change/set the default quota when create user.
This is what I did till now and all was installed with success:
yum update
wget [URL]
yum install lighttpd
chkconfig --levels 235 lighttpd on
/etc/init.d/lighttpd start
Must I configure something else too? if yes... what?
