Building modules for rhel5 kernel
January 14, 2010 
Build modules for kernel instead of building the whole kernel
Download the kernel rpm
$ rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-x.x.x.el5.src.rpm
$ cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
$ rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec
will take some time but less than rebuilding the entire kernel hopefully
$ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.x86_64
$ cp /boot/config-2.6.18-x.x.x.el5 .config
$ make menuconfig
Here for examplepurpose i’m taking xfs and reiserfs module hopefully it works with whatever you chose
* For xfs/reiserfs make sure to chose xfs and reiserfs as the module
$ make fs/xfs/xfs.ko
In case of error run
$ make SUBDIRS=fs/xfs/ modules
and rerun
$ make fs/xfs/xfs.ko
$ mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/xfs
Copy the module into the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/xfs
$ cp fs/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/xfs
$ make fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
In case of error run
$ make SUBDIRS=fs/reiserfs/ modules
and rerun
$ make fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
$ mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/reiserfs
Copy the module into the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/reiserfs
$ cp fs/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/reiserfs
Change permissions
$ chmod 744 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
$ chmod 744 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
insmod the required module
$ insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
$ insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
Make entry into /etc/modules.conf
$ echo “install reiserfs /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-x.x.x.el5/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko ” >> /etc/modules.conf
$ echo “install xfs /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-x.x.x.el5/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko ” >> /etc/modules.conf
$ modprobe reiserfs
$ modprobe xfs
$ depmod -a
Should be done hopefully
Open SSL help
General OpenSSL Commands
These commands allow you to generate CSRs, Certificates, Private Keys and do other miscellaneous tasks.
* Generate a new private key and Certificate Signing Request
# openssl req -out CSR.csr -pubkey -new -keyout privateKey.key
* Generate a self-signed certificate
# openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout privateKey.key -out certificate.crt
* Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for an existing private key
# openssl req -out CSR.csr -key privateKey.key -new
* Generate a certificate signing request based on an existing certificate
# openssl x509 -x509toreq -in certificate.crt -out CSR.csr -signkey privateKey.key
* Remove a passphrase from a private key
# openssl rsa -in privateKey.pem -out newPrivateKey.pem
Checking Using OpenSSL
If you need to check the information within a Certificate, CSR or Private Key, use these commands. You can also check CSRs and check certificates using our online tools.
* Check a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
# openssl req -text -noout -verify -in CSR.csr
* Check a private key
# openssl rsa -in privateKey.key -check
* Check a certificate
# openssl x509 -in certificate.crt -text -noout
* Check a PKCS#12 file (.pfx or .p12)
# openssl pkcs12 -info -in keyStore.p12
Debugging Using OpenSSL
If you are receiving an error that the private doesn’t match the certificate or that a certificate that you installed to a site is not trusted, try one of these commands. If you are trying to verify that an SSL certificate is installed correctly, be sure to check out the SSL Checker.
* Check an MD5 hash of the public key to ensure that it matches with what is in a CSR or private key
# openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in certificate.crt | openssl md5openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in privateKey.key | openssl md5openssl req -noout -modulus -in CSR.csr | openssl md5
* Check an SSL connection. All the certificates (including Intermediates) should be displayed
# openssl s_client -connect www.paypal.com:443
Converting Using OpenSSL
These commands allow you to convert certificates and keys to different formats to make them compatible with specific types of servers or software. For example, you can convert a normal PEM file that would work with Apache to a PFX (PKCS#12) file and use it with Tomcat or IIS. Use our SSL Converter to convert certificates without messing with OpenSSL.
* Convert a DER file (.crt .cer .der) to PEM
# openssl x509 -inform der -in certificate.cer -out certificate.pem
* Convert a PEM file to DER
# openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der
* Convert a PKCS#12 file (.pfx .p12) containing a private key and certificates to PEM
# openssl pkcs12 -in keyStore.pfx -out keyStore.pem -nodes
You can add -nocerts to only output the private key or add -nokeys to only output the certificates.
* Convert a PEM certificate file and a private key to PKCS#12 (.pfx .p12)
# openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey privateKey.key -in certificate.crt -certfile CACert.crt
* To test SSL connections to a mail server, use the openssl command with the s_client parameter:
# openssl s_client -connect smtp.myhost.com:25 -starttls smtp
This essentially opens a telnet-like connection to smtp.myhost.com on port 25 using the STARTTLS extension. This is an interactive session, so you can send commands to the remote SMTP server as well as view the certificate used, view the details of the SSL session, and more. To test SMTP over SSL, don’t use the -starttls option:
# openssl s_client -connect smtp.myhost.com:465
* The above can also be used to connect to any service that uses SSL, such as HTTPS (port 443), POP3 over SSL (port 995), and so forth.
* The openssl command can also be used to create digests of a file, which can be used to verify that a file has not been tampered with:
# echo “test file”> foo.txt
# openssl dgst -md5 foo.txt
MD5(foo.txt)= b05403312f66bdc8ccc597fedf6cd5fe
# openssl dgst -sha1 foo.txt
SHA1(foo.txt)= 0181d93fff60b818g3f92e470ea97a2aff4ca56a
* To view the other message digests that can be used, look at the output of openssl list-message-digest-commands.
* You can also use openssl to encrypt files. To view the list of available ciphers, use openssl list-cipher-commands. Once you’ve chosen a cipher to use, you can encrypt the file using the following commands:
# openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in foo.txt -out foo.enc
enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
Verifying – enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
# file foo.enc
foo.enc: data
# cat foo.enc
Salted__yvi{!e????i”Yt?;(Ѱ e%
# openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -in foo.enc
enter aes-256-cbc decryption password:
test file
In the above example, the file foo.txt was encrypted using 256-bit AES in CBC mode, the encrypted copy being saved as the file foo.enc. Looking at the contents of the file provide gibberish. Decrypting the file is done using the -d option; however, keep in mind that not only do you need to remember the password, you also need to know the cipher used.
As you can see, OpenSSL provides more than just a library for other applications to use, and the openssl command-line binary is a powerful program in its own right, allowing for many uses.
Extracting certificates from java keystore to use in apache.conf
So you have a javakeystore and want to extract the certificate….
heres what I did .. of course I had the passphrase
Downloaded ….
$ java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.25.b09.el5.x86_64.rpm
$ rpm -ivh java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.25.b09.el5.x86_64.rpm
$ cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/bin/keytool
and
$ ./keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore /opt/certs/final/NetworthKeyStore -destkeystore /tmp/mystore.p12 -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12 -noprompt
Enter destination keystore password:
Re-enter new password:
Enter source keystore password:
Entry for alias networthpnbkey successfully imported.
Import command completed: 1 entries successfully imported, 0 entries failed or cancelled
where KeyStore is the java keystore name
So I got a /tmp/mystore.p12 with everything great
now for some ssl magic
$ openssl pkcs12 -info -in /tmp/mystore.p12
Enter Import Password:

What is bonding?
What is bonding?
The Linux bonding driver provides a method for aggregating multiple network interfaces into a single logical “bonded” interface.
The behavior of the bonded interfaces depends upon the mode; generally speaking, modes provide either hot standby or load balancing services.
Additionally, link integrity monitoring may be performed.
ie you can aggregate three megabits ports (1 mb each) into a three-megabits trunk port.
That is equivalent with having one interface with three megabits speed.
This small howto will try to cover the most used bonding types.
The following script will configure a bond interface (bond0) using two ethernet interface (eth0 and eth1).
————————————————————-
#!/bin/bash
set -x
# 1: Create a bond0 configuration file
touch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
echo “DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=192.168.x.x
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USERCTL=no
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes” > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
# 2: Modify eth0 and eth1 config files:
echo “USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes” >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
echo “USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes” >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
sed -i ’s/ONBOOT=.*/ONBOOT=yes/g’ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
sed -i ’s/ONBOOT=.*/ONBOOT=yes/g’ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
sed -i ’s/BOOTPROTO=.*/BOOTPROTO=static/g’ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
sed -i ’s/BOOTPROTO=.*/BOOTPROTO=static/g’ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
# 3: Load bond driver/module
echo “alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=1 miimon=100″ >> /etc/modprobe.conf
# 4: Test configuration
modprobe bonding
service network restart
sleep 2
cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
echo ” ifconfig for bonding”
/sbin/ifconfig | grep bond
————————————————————-
You can set up your bond interface mode according to your needs. Changing one parameter (mode=X) in /etc/modeprobe.conf you can have the following bonding types:
* mode=0 (balance-rr or 0)
Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
* mode=1 (active-backup or 1)
Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond’s MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The primary option affects the behavior of this mode.
* mode=2 (balance-xor or 2)
XOR policy: Transmit based on [(source MAC address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo slave count]. This selects the same slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
* mode=3 (broadcast or 3)
Broadcast policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.
* mode=4 (802.3ad or 4)
IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.
Pre-requisites:
1. Ethtool support in the base drivers for retrieving
the speed and duplex of each slave.
2. A switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link
aggregation.
Most switches will require some type of configuration
to enable 802.3ad mode.
* mode=5 (balance-tlb or 5)
Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.
Prerequisite:
Ethtool support in the base drivers for retrieving the
speed of each slave.
* mode=6 (balance-alb or 6)
Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive load balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic, and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. The bonding driver intercepts the ARP Replies sent by the local system on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond such that different peers use different hardware addresses for the server.
The contents of the ifcfg-bondX file is as follows:
BOOTPROTO=”static”
BROADCAST=”10.0.2.255″
IPADDR=”10.0.2.10″
NETMASK=”255.255.0.0″
NETWORK=”10.0.2.0″
REMOTE_IPADDR=”"
STARTMODE=”onboot”
BONDING_MASTER=”yes”
BONDING_MODULE_OPTS=”mode=active-backup miimon=100″
BONDING_SLAVE0=”eth0″
BONDING_SLAVE1=”bus-pci-0000:06:08.1″
Replace the sample BROADCAST, IPADDR, NETMASK and NETWORK values with the appropriate values for your network.
Notes:
* For later versions of initscripts, such as that found with Fedora 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5 (or later), it is possible, and, indeed, preferable, to specify the bonding options in the ifcfg-bond0 file, e.g. a line of the format:
BONDING_OPTS=”mode=active-backup arp_interval=60 arp_ip_target=+192.168.1.254″
* To restore your slaves MAC addresses, you need to detach them from the bond (`ifenslave -d bond0 eth0′). The bonding driver will then restore the MAC addresses that the slaves had before they were enslaved.
* The bond MAC address will be the taken from its first slave device.
* Promiscous mode: According to your bond type, when you put the bond interface in the promiscous mode it will propogates the setting to the slave devices as follow:
o for mode=0,2,3 and 4 the promiscuous mode setting is propogated to all slaves.
o for mode=1,5 and 6 the promiscuous mode setting is propogated only to the active slave.
For balance-tlb mode the active slave is the slave currently receiving inbound traffic, for balance-alb mode the active slave is the slave used as a “primary.” and for the active-backup, balance-tlb and balance-alb modes, when the active slave changes (e.g., due to a link failure), the promiscuous setting will be propogated to the new active slave.
Xen rescue paravirtualization
===Rescue===
Shut down the GuestOS safely by logging into the GuestOS and issuing the command poweroff or
$ xm shutdown alfa
Copy or download the ”’initrd.img”’ and ”’vmlinuz”’ files from /images/xen/ directory of Red Hat Enterprise Linux install media tree to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization Host. In this test case these files are copied to the directory ”’/var/lib/xen/images/tmp/”’ of the Virtualization host.
Modify the GuestOS configuration file on the Virtualization Host itself to enable boot it from rescue environment. In this test case the GuesOS in question is called alfa and its configuration file is /etc/xen/alfa
1. copy the config file ”’/etc/xen/alfa”’ to ”’/etc/xen/alfa_rescue”’
2. In the config file ”’/etc/xen/alfa_rescue”’, comment the bootloader line:
#bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
3. Append the following to the configuration before the ”’disk =”’ line file temporarily and save it.
kernel = "/var/lib/xen/images/tmp/vmlinuz" ramdisk = "/var/lib/xen/images/tmp/initrd.img" extra = "rescue"
4. Sample

Restarting Replication if broken
Get latest mysql dump file from master and replicate on slave
on the master run
show master status;
Take the File and position values and run on slave
stop slave; CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='192.168.50.81', MASTER_USER='slave_user', MASTER_PASSWORD='password', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mail2-bin.00002', MASTER_LOG_POS=37; start slave;
Replace the filename and position with actual ones
restart mysql on slave
Multiple Replication
To set up replication like
A --> B --> c
Follow the same steps to set up replication on the C server from B
Edit the my.cnf file on B server and add to what is already present
log-warnings log-bin=mysql-bin max_allowed_packet=16M binlog-do-db=mail log-slave-updates sync-binlog=1 relay-log=<hostname>-relay-bin
log-slave-updates -- This is for the slave to write to it's log file so that C server can read the logs
On server C along with the master slave configuration add this
log-warnings log-bin=mysql-bin max_allowed_packet=16M binlog-do-db=mail sync-binlog=1 relay-log=<hostname>-relay-bin slave_net_timeout=30 master-connect-retry=10 slave-skip-errors
slave_net_timeout -- The default for the slave_net_timeout setting is 3600, which is 60 minutes. I've set this to 30. It also removes a step in resuming replication of "STOP SLAVE; START SLAVE" master-connect-retry -- The number of seconds the slave thread will sleep before retrying to connect to the master in case the master goes down or the connection is lost. Default is 60.
