oops, or how to bring a datacenter router down with one setting

so I gave up on bonding.
I found about 300 posts showing eth0 and eth1 both pointing to br0 (bridge)
as interfaces.
I followed them correctly, or so I thought.
I pointed both ethx to the bridge, restarted network and bam...!!!

entire ip block went out.

when I called datacenter they told me the router was under attack and I 
was like 'uh oh' and told them to just shut off my computer I would be 
there to fix it. They did not believe me.
An hour later I was there and deleted the eth1 point to the br0 and all 
was fine.
Meanwhile they were all around the router trying to stop the attack.
(it was just the router for me and others in that room....oops)

I wonder if they will boot me from the center now?
How is it possible that it did that so quickly?
Such an easy way to bring down routers, wow, a hacker could have a field 
day.

Apparently there is more to making to eth ports go to the same bridge 
than a simple point.
I have since tried bridge_ports command as listed online, however that 
must be deprecated.
I think I am just gonna stay with multiple bridges with one eth on each 
for a while until
I can test this stuff in a safe environ.

I never had a chance to recover, the second the network came up I lost

starting haldeamon on 6.2

haldaemon on 6.2 is not starting for me. (so I cannot run X).

doing dmesg and tail /var/log/messages refeals nothing.
doing strace -fv service haldaemon start  says that g_malloc_n is not 
found or undefined symbol

What might I be missing? I am fully upto date with yum. (x86_64 )

Very puzzling. I have other boxes running just fine. Its just this one 
being stubborn.

Any thoughts. Did a bunch of searching and seems like they are talking 
about titanium which I do not have.

Thanks

Startech USB21000S

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has had the occasion to use one of these for
usb networking with Centos 6.2.  Did it work out of the box?  Any
recommendations?  It uses the ax88178 chipset and is a gigabit usb
network adaptor.

Thanks a bunch, in advance for your time.

Phil

Making a centos mirror using a windows 2008 r2 server

Hi all,

 Due to some problems with yum to interoperate with a Forefront Proxy,
Is it possible to make a mirror from mirror.centos.org using a Windows
2008 R2 server?? Apart of rsync, exists another tool that supports AD
authentication??

Thanks.

Problems with Microsoft Forefront proxy with yum

Hello all,

 How can I configure yum to download updates when I need to
authenticate to a Microsoft Forefront proxy?? I have tried to
configure http_proxy variable as a
"http_proxy="http://DOMAIN\\user:passwd <at> proxy:port/", but it doesn't
works ... I have tried to set http_user and http_passwd also without
luck.

 Thanks.

python26-memcached on centOS 5.5

Hi,
   Is anyone here running memcached + python2.6 + django setup on a CentOS 5.5?? Am trying to set one up here and
have trouble with the python26-memcached installation.
So far i have installed (via yum):

      1.python26
      2. python26-memcached
      3. libevent
      4. memcached-devel

   Now when i try to run `import memcache`  from the python2.6 shell i get an ImportError: No module named memcache.
The python26 installation picks up other modules(django etc..) fine. So there's no configuration
problem from python26 interpreter.

I am not able to figure out the problem. Any ideas/suggestions? Is building from source my only way out??

Thanks and Regards

advice on having php 5.2.x:

Hi all,

My goal is to have PHP 5.2.x on a centos virtual machine (LXC)
Looking at the repositories:
- 6.2 has php 5.3:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/6.2/updates/i386/drpms/
- 5.7 has php 5.1
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.7/updates/i386/RPMS/


I'll have to rebuild a source RPM in order to have what I want:
- Which base should I install for a php 5.2 VM? 6.2 or 5.7?
- Which release of CentOS had a php 5.2 source rpm that I could just 
rebuild without too much extra patching?

Thank you all.

Side note:
For legacy projects, I'll also have to have a php 4, but there, no 
problem: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/4.9/updates/i386/RPMS/ 
has a php 4.3.9, so, no problem.
The machines are simply development machines, on the LAN, in order to 
keep (very) old projects running if we ever have to get back on them. 
These are not for public or production use.

Create Virtual Machine via HTTP or FTP

 Hi,

I'm trying to create a Virtual Machine using Network Install mode (I
tried HTTP and FTP).
The HTTP/FTP server where the installation files are located is the Host
Machine.
The URL that I'm using is: http://192.168.1.104/inst and the Automatic
detect option detects the OS without problem.
When the installation starts I got an error:
        Unable to retrieve http://192.168.1.104/inst/images/install.img

I tried different path but I always get the same error.

The host machine is a Centos 6.2 (2.6.32.-220.el6.x86_64)

I really appreciate any help with this problem.

Thanks in advance,
