Hi, I've been running Linux as a workstation OS for years, and have been dealing with Windows networks and standalone Linux servers for a while now. However, the time has come for me to complete redo the server installation and am looking to move to a complete CentOS install base, with only Windows workstations. My question is the following. I've been searching online for a good

Hi, I've got an odd situation here. Somehow, I find myself with two files that start with the - character. [eric at apollo mysql]$ ls -l total 93348 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 9273344 Nov 13 19:03 -N=2007-11-08 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 38879232 Nov 13 19:02 --newer=2007-11-08 Don't ask how they were created; something went wrong with a script at some point. My problem is that I am

Hi, I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so if this belongs more on another list, please let me know. I am trying to get Autofs configured to use LDAP on CentOS5.3, but am running into an inconsitency. On CentOS5.3, the openldap server is installed with an extra schema/redhat/autofs.schema file. From what I can tell, that schema file seems to follow RFC2307bis. In the

Hi, Is there an equivalent of a useradd for systems that are using LDAP user management? I know I can build an LDIF file and import it, but it is a bit of a pain to do it manually all the time. Is there not an easier / faster way? Thanks, Eric

Hi, I've got CentOS 5.3 installed as a Xen client installed. I've recently been trying to install TrueCrypt on the VM, but am having miserable troubles with the Fuse kernel module. To date, I've installed the following packages: yum install truecrypt yum install fuse However, to launch the fuse module, I need the dkms_autoinstaller running. However, when I try to start the

Hi, I'm running CentOS 5 and running into a strange situation with symbolic links that I have never seen or noticed before. If I create the following symbolic link: [eric at eric-laptop ~]$ pwd /home/eric [eric at eric-laptop ~]$ ls Mail draft inbox queue sent trash [eric at eric-laptop ~]$ ln -s Mail/inbox test [eric at eric-laptop ~]$ ls test 1 2 3 4 5 [eric at eric-laptop ~]$ cd

Hi, I'm trying to get my ISA modem to work on CentOS 4.4, but I am having trouble. I have a stock installation of the CentOS 4.4, and did a yum upgrade to ensure everything is the latest, however, I can't seem to detect or see the ISA modem. I remember back in the 2.2 kernel days, the need for isapnptools, however, from what I read that is supposed to already be included in the 2.6

Hi, Has anyone managed to find a Python 2.4 rpm binary that can be installed on CentOS4? I'm running CentOS4.6 and an application that I want to use required python 2.4 or greater. All the CentOS/RHEL4 python rpms that I find are all for python 2.3. I can't seem to find anything that works with CentOS4 libs. Thanks! Eric

Hi, I'm working with the iproute2/iptables toolset on my CentOS4 server to create custom routing rules. However, I'm a bit at a loss how to create these permanently so that they are automatically reloaded upon reboot of the server. I know that iptables has a config file in /etc/sysconfig/iptables that is loaded by /etc/init.d/iptables startup script. Is there anything that works

Hi, I'm using Autofs and LDAP for mounting my home directories via nfs. In general, everything seems to work fine. However, I have one small problem. If I reboot my server using autofs while my LDAP server is down, I get the following error message in my logs: automount[3358]: bind_ldap_anonymous: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to extend (ie: grow) a PV that is part of a Volume Group? I currently have a partition on my HD that is being used as a PV for my Volume Group, but would like to make it larger. I have the space on my drive to extend my partition, but using standard tools (ex: gparted, Partition Magic, etc) would likely end up corrupting the data on in the Logical Volumes

Hi, I'm a complete newbie to Asterisk and have been reading through documentation and sites for the last couple of hours trying to understand what to do to start my learning curve with Asterisk, and am very confused. For starters, what is the difference btwn the 1.2 and 1.4 branches of Asterisk? I can't seem to find a document that describes the changes. Secondly, what is the best

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a solid, reliable Open Source equivalent of Cpanel/Plesk that I can run on my CentOS boxes. I've done some searching around and find a bunch of them which seem to have stopped or stalled development, but I am figuring that there has got to be a strong market / demand for something out there. Is anyone using something secure, solid and complete? I

Hi, I'm looking for a recent version of rsyslog. The yum repositories only show me a version that is 2.0.6. According to the www.rsyslog.com site, they are up to version 5 (dev), which means that I would think/assume that there would at least be v3 or v4 available somewhere. Does anyone know if/where I can find something more recent than 2.0.6? Thanks, Eric

Hi, I'm running CentOS 4 with most of the latest updates, but am having trouble with iptables and the CONNMARK target. Is it available in the CentOS 4 kernel? Running on i386: kernel: 2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp iptables: v1.2.11 # iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --set-mark 1 iptables: No chain/target/match by that name I see I do have the CONNMARK lib in

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right group/list for this type of help, so I appologize if it isn't, and ask if you can please direct me to the right place. I am trying to mount a NAS Samba share to my RHEL 4 machine to run backups and am running into some slight issues / error msgs with it. I am not sure what samba version the NAS is running, however. It is a Maxtor Shared Storage

Hi, I've got a couple of servers that are running WBEL4 that I would like to upgrade to CentOS4. I noticed that there is a FAQ which explains how to upgrade WBEL3 to CentOS3, but haven't found anything similar for WBEL4. Are the instructions for the WBEL3 upgrade the same for WBEL4? Should I be doing something else instead? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Hi, I've been working at getting a tftp server up an running in a chroot jail, and I have finally succeed getting almost everything working. The server itself works fine, however, it is implemented as a tcpwrapper application (ie: in.tftpd) and I am having trouble getting it to resolve DNS names. I copied my /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny in my chroot/etc folder, however, they

Hi, In my struggle today to get python2.4 installed on my CentOS4 system, I saw that it installed a packaged called alternatives which is supposed to handle symbolic links to default commands in a nice clean, structured way. However, I am having trouble understanding how this thing works. I have read the man page half a dozen times already, and yet the alternative link for python which was

Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for the last couple of hours and am nowhere near solving the problem. I am trying to run a tftp server in a chroot jail. Now perhaps I am being paranoid, but I would like to have it launched from within its own jail even if it supposedly does a chroot itself and runs with a parameterizable user. I downloaded the atftp-server package and tried
