I understand that it is Red Hat (CentOS) tradition to create a separate group for each user. For example, user kikinovak also belongs to a group kikinovak. And when I create a new user 'newuser', the 'newuser' group also got somehow created. Plus, the new user also seems to have his own user profile, with a default .bashrc and so on. My only explanation for that is that CentOS' 'useradd...

But when I make a modification and want to push it to Github, I get the following error: # git push error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/info/refs fatal: HTTP request failed Now I think there must be some missing component in my CentOS installation, because my Slackware workstation in the same network can push things just fine.

Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works perfectly. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta.sh Grab the files: # git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos Run the script: # cd centos/6.x/broadcom-sta # broadcom-sta.sh Reboot and you're ready to go.

Hi, I recently made a CentOS install on a machine with an unsupported network card. I had to add the driver for it later, once I finished the install. For now I have this: [kikinovak at localhost ~]$ hostname --fqdn localhost.localdomain Q: how would I change this to something like calimero.local? Here's what I *would* do, but I prefer to ask before. 1) edit /etc/sysconfig/network and edit this line: HOSTNAME=calimero.local 2) add a line to /etc/hosts like this: # Do...

Hi, I'd like to use SSH without password so I can use it in scripts (for example in combination with rsync to do backups). I have Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook" and I'm trying out the various receipts, but the one for SSH without a password doesn't work. The book is slightly dated, and I wonder if SSH included in CentOS works differently. Any suggestions? Niki
