Speeding up ssh connections/logins

Very useful is to deactivate the DNS lookups in the ssh server. Another easy modification: add one line to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:

1. Type: # pico /etc/ssh/sshd_config
2. Add the line (green bold one): 

#PermitTunnel no

UseDNS no

# no default banner path

Cobalt RaQ 4: slow slow sloooooow ftp login

Hi guys,
this week I turned on on RaQ with the old Cobalt OS with all the Zeffie's updates (New updates appeared this year). I like the fast responese of the Cobalt servers with this old Operating System and I don't need the extra capabilities of the BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx systems.

But today I started to check if I can compile the latest 2.4 kernel but when I went to some upload files to the server I could not connect to ftp. Some search of the web to found the problem, the proftp server has some features enabled in the latest version that can be deactivated for us.

To do this just add this lines (green bold ones) to the /etc/proftpd.conf file just after the first configuration lines:

ServerName                      "ProFTPD"
ServerType                      inetd
DeferWelcome                    off
DefaultServer                   on
DefaultRoot                     / admin
DefaultRoot                     ~/../.. site-adm
DefaultRoot                     ~ !site-adm

UseIPv6                                off
UseReverseDNS                   off

And add one line to the GLOBAL subsection (green bold chars):

IdentLookups                    off
   AllowAll
# Report localtime, not GMT
TimesGMT                        off

Adding SATA storage to a Cobalt RaQ 4

UPDATED: 2011-05-05
Partition manage with fdisk.

Nearly three months without writing anything in this blog. I did a lot of unsuccessful tests, but nothing well until this week. From the last christmas I am trying to compile the 6.5.18 CentOS kernel for the Cobalt servers. I have a valid patch but the resulting rpm package is bigger than 30MB. I will check this before put on a server. I'm using a Sun LX50 with the latest BlueOnyx for this job.

But last week a new VIA chipset SATA card arrived and yesterday I did a new test. I had a lot of problems with my previous SIL3112 card, it was recognized but the hard disk was not. I tested various hd's and some of them were recognized but never with a good stability.

For this test I used my backup server, a RaQ 4i with a 80GB hd for boot the machine and a WD Raptor SATA 150GB as additional storage. It's a 10k disk but I don't have any other SATA hd at home with no use at the moment. This machine was instaled with a fully updated Strongbolt OS, with the 2.6.20 kernel from OSOffice.

The first part of the test was to install the latest kernel I published: 2.6.9-89.0.23-cobalt. Wow, near one year ago! I have o compile a new one...

With this kernel the SATA card and hard disk was correctly recognized as you can see in the next capture of the hardware information page.

This was the easy part. To use this hard disk as storage for BlueQuartz we need to move our /home partition to it. Here you can see how the first hard disk was before any change:

Now the not easy part:

• Login to the server as root.
• Check if the hard disk appears on fdisk. As you can see it was formatted with NTFS:

[root@cobalt ~]# fidsk -l

• Here I rebooted the server.
• Create the ext3 filesystem: # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
• Now we need to mount the new hard disk to a temporary folder:

# mkdir /tmpmnt
# mount /dev/sda1 /tmpmnt

• Copy all files from /home to /tmpmnt: # cp -axv /home/* /tmpmnt
• Unmount the new hard disk: # umount /tmpmnt
• Create a backup of the old /home partition (I was not able to do that part last time because an error message: Files in use):

# mkdir /oldhome
# mv /home /oldhome
# mkdir /home
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /home

• Now we have to modify the /etc/fstab file to make the new partition automount at boot time. Just change hda6 to sda1. My file is this:

• And the last part is to reboot!!!!!! Here you can see the result, a near 150GB home partition in a SATA hard disk!

Now it's time to check if everithing is OK, a will boot up the server in a week or two and see what happens in a 24/7 work.

IMPORTANT NOTE: During these test I found some problems with fdisk. IF fdisk returns a WARNING when you type the command 'w' (write), usually the hard disk partition is not stored on the hard disk. This is the message

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument.
The kernel still uses the old table
The new table will be used at the next reboot.

I had this problem until I was able to delete the NTFS partition with FDSIK (the firsts attempts fdisk didn't show the old partition table). Then you can check the results:

# fdisk -l

Swapping my server

I switched my main web server. My beloved RaQ 4i had been working for the last three years 24/7. Being a second hand server with an old hard disk I feel a little bad and some time ago I decided to exchange for anther RaQ 4i I had as spare.

This new/old server has the same specs as the old one but with two Seagate 120 GB in RAID 1 configuration. I more confident with this setup. Obviously it runs Strongbolt 1 (CentOS 4 + BlueQuartz) but with no addon packages installed as I don't need anything outside Strongbolt.

I restored all the files of the old server (the /downloads/ folder) and it was 14 GB's!. Torrentflux isn't installed as I don't use it since a lot of time ago.

Well I think I have server for a lot of time but I want to switch to one of my RaQ 550. They are newer and powerful servers but before I have to change the power supply fan (and I don't need more power in fact).

CentOS 4 kernel 2.6.9-89.0.23 for Cobalt x86 appliances

Well, after my mistake in the configuration of my last kernel (I forgot the RAID setup), last wednesday I compiled the latest CentOS 4 kernel (2.6.9-89.0.23.EL). This time I only prepared a RPM archive and not a BlueQuartz package because to install an RPM can be forced to avoid conflicts with the standard kernel RPM archives from CentOS.

I haven't done a lot of testing with this kernel but seems to work well in RaQ4 with RAID 1 setup and also in a RaQ 550. It has the same features of the old release:

1. Compiled for i586 architechture, compatible with the i686 architechture you can find on RaQ XTR and RaQ 550.
2. Drivers for VIA, SIS and Silicon Image SATA chipsets, to use as storage expansion or use the server as NAS but I don't have time to test yet. Compiled as modules.
3. Drivers for ethernet gigabit cards: Intel PRO/1000, Realtek 8169, Broadcom Tigon3 and Broadcom NetXtremeII. Compiled as modules.
4. Cobalt GenIII and GenV drivers included: the same kernel works on all Cobalt machines. Only tested in Cobalt RaQ 3&4 and RaQ 550. My Qube 3 has SB2 installed and I don't have any XTR (but if I can find one...).
5. SMP for two processors, not tested: usefull for RaQ XTR with two Pentium III.

And something new:

1. Suport for RAID storage (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10).
2. I2C bus support enabled. It can be useful for RaQ XTR leds but it also needs some software what I don't have (and I can't test)

Unfortunately this fast job  doesn't allow me to work in the problems of shutdown and reboot in the Pentium III machines. Next time...

Like other kernel, if you want to test, the files are here. You can follow this steps:

1. Log in to the server as root.
2. # rpm -i --force http://www.titox-net.es/downloads/cobalt/BlueQuartz/kernel/linux-2.6.9-89.0.23-cobalt/kernel-2.6.9-89.0.23_cobalt.i586.rpm
3. # cd /boot
4. # mv vmlinux.bz2 vmlinux_old.bz2
5. # cp  vmlinux_2.6.9-89.0.23.EL-cobalt.bz2 vmlinux.bz2
6. # reboot

 OBVIOUSLY: USE THIS KERNEL AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO GUARANTEE

Now here you are the boot logs of my RaQ 4r (RAID 1) and a RaQ 550:

New RaQCop firewall

The lasts days I was fighting with the Apache 2 reverse proxy functions to use two web servers with my ADSL connection. Unfortunately I had problems to redirect all the content I want. For this reason I decided to try an authentic Reverse Proxy software like Pound. But install Pound in one of the servers its not enough for me ;D

A new old project is alive: Run my own firewall in one server and install on it the Reverse Proxy. Just in time this week arrived a new toy: a Symantec Velociraptor 1100. In fact, the Velociraptor is a Cobalt RaQ 4i with a Special developed firmware and software (Axent originally). My Velociraptor came with a Cobalt 2.3.39 stored in the ROM but it doesn't shows the Cobalt logo at the display. Also has a Intel Pro 100 dual ethernet PCI-X card:


Due that the I don't have the original Velociraptor sofware, and I don't want to look for it because is old, not customizable and needs an expensive paid license I decided to install RaQCop. I had played with RaQCop before but not enogh time. RaQCop is a special version of ipCop that comes with a patched kernel for the RaQ hardware, LCD utils and a new administration web theme.

There is another firewall software ready for cobalt servers: Firebolt. Developed by the same team as Strongbolt, Firebolt is a port of the ClarkConnect firewall software, but this is a paid version (like Strongbolt) and I'm not sure which features are included by default. Maybe Firebolt is better solution for a home or office use as there is a very good manual and the support from ClarckConnect and OSOffice seems to be great. Firebolt will be the next game.

First of all the Velociraptor needed a ROM upgrade. Fortunately, I have a hard disk with the old CobaltOS ready and the Velociraptor boots from it. I get the necessary files for the upgrade from OSOffice, following this guide but doing a backup of the old ROM first. If you don't know which ROM maker your server has, you have to open the server and look to the chip as here is explained.

1. Login via SSH as root.


2. Go to temporary folder: # cd /tmp.


3. Download the flashtool (in my case is ST branded): # wget http://www.osoffice.co.uk/linux/roms/flashtool-amd-st.


4. Make the file executable: # chmod +x flashtool-amd-st.


5. Backup the original cmos and then download it with a FTP software:
   

   # ./flashtool-amd-st -v -r > cobalt-vr-2.3.39-1M.rom
   ./flashtool-amd-st: searching for PCI 10b9:7101 : found it at /proc/bus/pci/00/03.0
   ./flashtool-amd-st: systype = COBT_3K
   ./flashtool-amd-st: bank 0: ST Microelectronics M29F080A 1MB
   ./flashtool-amd-st: Using pthread POSIX real time scheduling.

   ./flashtool-amd-st: reading page 13
   ./flashtool-amd-st: reading page 14
   ./flashtool-amd-st: reading page 15
   ./flashtool-amd-st: flushing buffers



6. Download the new ROM, this is for a GENIII RaQ, not valid for a RaQ 550: # wget http://www.osoffice.co.uk/linux/roms/cobalt-2.10.3-ext3-1M.rom.


7. And now the critic job, write the new ROM:
   

   # ./flashtool-amd-st -v -w cobalt-2.10.3-ext3-1M.rom
   ./flashtool-amd-st: searching for PCI 10b9:7101 : found it at /proc/bus/pci/00/03.0
   ./flashtool-amd-st: systype = COBT_3K

8. Now, if no errors appeared while the ROM upgrade, you can reboot. If you have errors you can repeat the process many time as you need. If still having errors write the backup ROM another time and DON'T REBOOT OR SHUTDOWN BEFORE THE ROM IS OK. The ROM is read at boot time and if it's wrong, you will convert your RaQ in a good case spare.

Be carefull to assure which type of EPROM you have. If your server has an Intel ROM chip you need a different flashtool created by Tim Hockin, as explained in the OSOffice guide.

The next Step is download the RaQCop image. I used a 128MB flash card as you can see in the next picture, but it was flashed some months ago:


RaQCop detects the four ethernet ports then I have 4 different zones: Green for the intranet, Red for de ADSL uplink, Blue for the wireless access point and Orange for the servers. Each zone works in its subnet and if I want to connect to a computer in a different zone I have to prepare a VPN or pinhole: a bit difficult for a newbbie as me but very safe.

Here you are the firewall running. Some adjustements had to be done in the GUI theme but it's so nice. To be continued...

Installing the no-ip client

I don't have static IP from my Internet provider, so I need use a Dynamic DNS server system to access my servers from everywhere I go. There is two major service providers: DynDNS and No-Ip.com. Some time ago I used the No-ip service in another project and I tried this now for hat reason and because I like its web interface (No tests with DynDNS are made but...). First decision made here comes the second: In what server install the client software? EASY, in the Cobalt RaQ 4... low power needed to run and usually it's running 24/7.

The process is very easy:

1. Download the client software to te Cobalt appliance. In my case I download it with my workstation and then used FTP to put the file in the admin folder, but there is a beter and faster command to do: log as admin with any telnet client and the write wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz,
2. Uncompress the file. Write tar zxvf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz and press enter. Now you have a new folder called noip-2.1.7 -Obviously the numbers can change with a new release of the client-. go into the new folder with cd noip-2.1.7.
3. Compile the client program. First you need become root user. Type su and press enter. You will be asked for the password, this password is the same as the admin one. The prompt must chage from $ to #. This means you are root and you can do everything, including deleting something important and crash the sever. Now type make and press enter, the server is compiling the software.
4. Installing and configuring. When the compilation is done, type make install. Now the software is being copied to the destination folder -/usr/local/bin- and then the configuration wizard starts: it asks for your No-ip.com account user id and password, if you want to update all the existing domains or subdomains (in my case YES), and the time of check the domains.
5. Starting the daemon at boot. First we need a script to turn the daemon ON, OFF and RESTART. With the client there is a script -redhat.noip.sh- that is ready to use. Copy it to the folder cp redhat.noip.sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/noip and make it executable: chmod +x noip. Now we need to link the script in the runlevel folders (3 is the default runlevel when the server is running, 6 is for reboot and 0 for HALT status):

# ln -s noip /etc/rc3.d/S99noip
# ln -s noip /etc/rc6.d/K99noip
# ln -s noip /etc/rc0.d/K99noip

And that's all.

P.D.: One question: Why I need to see my server from outside my home?....... to check how my torrents are going with torrentflux!!!!!!!
