...but I think that this could be interesting also for other people; anyway: what would be the best way to recover a password from a zip file? And for other type of files (eg. xls, pdf)? I googled a bit, and I can only find ugly/unthrusted ( ;) ) windows programs... what about Linux? TIA Lorenzo Quatrini

SOMEbody on this list must have this combination working by now. How does one enable the firefox jre plugin for Sun's x86_64 distribution? Every site that I can find refers to making a link to a now non-existent plugins directory under the jre installation directory. The official firefox plugin pages refers to the existence of a Sun x86_64 jre but provides no details on how to enable it.

...ttle trouble with mrepo: yum groups doesn't seem to be setup correctly; if I do "yum grouplist" it only gives me Installed Groups: Yum Utilities Available Groups: FreeNX and NX XFCE-4.4 Horde Did I forget something on the mrepo.conf or similar? tia Lorenzo Quatrini

...do you think that a force rewrite of the full disk would work? Eg. "dd if=/dev/sda pf=/dev/sda bs=512" Shoudl this be done at runlevel 1 or offline or I can do it without too many worries, since I'm reading and rewriting the same data on the disk? TIA and sorry for the OT Lorenzo Quatrini

Hi, I have no problem running yum update inside the root prompt, but when running yum using sudo as logged-in as ordinary user and command the 'sudo yum update', I am having below error: Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl

Hi All, Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not hundreds of times. If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this with CentOS? -- James A.

...em still persists. Can you please give me the clue on how to solve this. > > Thanks, > > junji > aisalen.wordpress.com > Linux Registered User #253162 Is this appening even if you put the proxy=http://<host>:<port> directive on /etc/yum.conf ? Regards Lorenzo Quatrini ----------------------------- Hi Lorenzo, I answered this a while ago and I am very fast in answering your suggestion not waiting the result of my command because it froze a while. Actually it works using your directive. So it must be proxy instead of http_proxy. Thank you very much, junji ais...

Hi guys, I have this configuration: LAN -- LINUX BRIDGE -- LINUX BRIDGE -- TS The linux's bridges are for wifi purposes (2 centos machines) and is working fine. The problem I have is that the TS are 3 windows TS in load balancing configuration. There is 1 IP for general purposes and every TS has its own IP. For example, the configuration is: 192.168.0.1/24 TS1 192.168.0.2/24 TS2

...sh the same result of "gnome-session-save --kill --silent" wich save and close the current session without user intervention? Or can you point me on the right direction to rebuild the SRPM with the patch for this bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149447)? thanks, Lorenzo Quatrini

Is there a way to nice the IO on a process such as dd? If not, what could be a way to control the IO level of such a process from bogging down a server to severely. Thanks, jlc

Hi all, do you know if there is a way at boot time do disable specific LUN's on a SCSI bus of a particular controller? I'm trying to write an udev rule, but it seems that the system ignores the "vendor" model/name of the controller... For example: I want to disable /dev/sdb; so I gather some information with udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb and I try to use them to write

Hi All, I'm trying to find out the best way to mirror the kbsingh repositories because most of my machines do not have access to the outside world. What is the best way to do this.

.... or at least I am missing an easy graphical tool to setup just users and passwords (ldapbrowser and directory_assistant aren't working, and I don't have too much time to spend on learning command-line tools). Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy Single Sign On server? Tia Lorenzo Quatrini p.s. Of course all the above under CentOS 5 ;)

...dard and fully supported kernel. Does anyone have experience on Xen and have advice on which could be the best compromise between the two solutions? Of course with Xen I have to start all over on learning but... hey I'm a Linux fan, I like to learn! Many thanks and have a good day Lorenzo Quatrini

I asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable distro for our business use than Fedora which we have used for years. His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of recent Fedoras (at least since 7) that allows a user to login as himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user feature). Is that feature available or is it planned? Thanks.

Hi, I've been using Debian for a few years, and there was one nifty little app that made installing and updating so much easier: apt-proxy. Most of the time, I'm taking care of small LANs with an average of five client PCs. But this is a very remote place in South France, so most villages only have 512 kbps DSL. One major update for openoffice.org-*, and I have to wait the whole day

All, Apologies for cluttering the list, but I just wanted to say hello and prepare all for a barage of silly discussions from a tech-hypochondriac! We have recently purchased two servers running CentOS, and as I'm from more of a Debian based background, it would be good if someone could point out the two or three main differences please? I'm reading up on the package management as I
