ipv6 autoconfigure
Posted by ebal at 13:36:19 in blog, planet_ellak, planet_Sysadmin

So … it seems that some router gives dhcp ipv6 prefixes for specific lans.

The default behaviour of CentOS is to autoconfigure the network interface with ifup script.

We havent finished our #ipv6 schema/deployment so we need to disable this ipv6 autoconfigure feature.

global



# vim /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING_IPV6=no
IPV6FORWARDING=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no

interface


# vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
IPV6INIT=no

Flushing


# ip -6 addr flush eth0

# ip -6 route flush scope global

and finally restart



# service restart network

remove unnecessary locales:


# localedef --list-archive | egrep -v '^el_GR|^en_US' | xargs localedef --delete-from-archive
# mv -f /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive.tmpl
# build-locale-archive

Create TRUE random passwords - Errata
Posted by ebal at 20:34:13 in blog, planet_ellak, planet_Sysadmin

This blog post is dedicated to “rwman os” for contacting me to suggest that I was wrong !

And indeed I was !! ( <— two exclamation marks)

So this blog post create true random passwords has some mistakes and I am here to make amens.

the correct syntax on creating random passwords is this:


$ cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc $'\x21-\x7E' | head -c 21

and after further investigation (with GNU coreutils 8.23) seems that you can use octal as well:


$ cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '\041-\176'  | head -c 21
