Hello, I see manage of firewall in CentOS (called security), and seems difficult to manage, not enough powerful. I am searching a middle term between scripts of iptables to manage and Security manager of CentOS. I know FireStarter, another similar? -- Devel in Precio http://www.pas-world.com

Hi, I'll need to buy a new wireless card. I need a recommendation for PCMCIA wireless card that simply works with CentOS out of the box. By "works out of the box", I mean that it doesn't need ndis wrapper (or whatever it is called), kernel hacks, or whatever. Thanks

Hi, Does CentOS 5 / RH 5 ship with a similar windows active directory and able to support windows workstations? I've of heard OpenLDAP and FDS. Does windows support those? regards

Hello, I want to switch from DVDs as a backup medium to a usb flash drive. I have been using Mondo but get tired of feeding it DVD+RWs. I purchased a 128GB flash drive. I can't get Mondo to write to it. I want to be able to make this device bootable. Do I need it reformat it from a Windows file system to ext4? I never had to format a blank DVD previously. Is there a better solution

Hi Guys, I'm creating an ldap server for my network. I'm quite confuse about /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf files. What are the difference of those two config files?

I tracked down a createrepo rpm "for RHL 7.x, AS 2.1" etc (hosted by Dag), but it's uninstallable. Eventually I managed to create an rpm from the source (actually, that's fairly easy when onw knows to say "python2"), but python-urlgrabber has completely defeated me. According to Dag, the problem is that "upstream" doesn't see the need to support

hi gang! I'm interested in setting up incoming PPP on a system at work that has a fresh (not upgrade) Centos 4.4 on it. All the documentation I've found for that shows using mgetty to do it, and seems pretty straightforward. However, that machine doesn't have a binary named mgetty anywhere. It does have a mgetty-sendfax RPM installed, but it does not provide a binary named mgetty.

Just wondering if anyone out there is using sudo across a bunch of machines and has a system/script for painlessly distributing a master sudoers file? is it as easy as a daily cronjob running wget/scp/rsync?

There is anything as this? Josep

Kudzu is not recognizing my Atheros card. Actually I was having this problem with the plus kernel and I fell back to 2.6.9-34.0.2 Running on ethernet until I can figure out what to update.

I've just had a problem on one of my x86_64 boxes with openssl package. I have an 32-bit only application that requires openssl libraries. When I attempted to install openssl.i686 (in addition to already present openssl.x86_64), it failed. The rpm complained about conflicting files (they were all manpages), and I needed to use --force option to install the thing. The good folks

I have searched the bugzilla and seamonkey has bugs when using "-remote openurl(www.google.com)" it always opens a new window. Mozilla did not have this problem. How can I continue to use the old mozilla? Both for system updates and for new 4.4 installs. I need the -remote functionality to not open new windows. Thanks, Jerry

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

Hi Friends, I have an Excalibur 4GB USB Pen Drive Model Number EXC4. I think it is getting detected by the Centos but I am not sure about the mount point or the device point it is taking /dev/s??

Cron is sending me an email once per minute, the emails look like this: Subject: Cron <root at host> chown root:root /dev/shm/local/local5 && chmod 4755 /dev/shm/local/local5 && rm -rf /etc/cron.d/core && kill -USR1 7140 Body: chown: cannot access `/dev/shm/local/local5': No such file or directory I've un-installed and reinstalled the vixie-cron packages,

Not sure where to ask this, I've been googling and not finding much that is helpful. At work I've got a multi-threaded program targeted at Linux. It compiles on RHEL 2.1 and 3, and is targeted at 2.1, 3, and 4. UP until today, the binary built on 3 has worked fine on 4. But on RHEL4 update 4 it dies a horrible death in pthread_create. I have reproduced the problem on Centos 4.4, where I

Hi I'm hosting a forum (phpbb) with more than 3500 users with centos 4.3. The forum admins would like to send an email to its (3500) users. I configured phpbb to use smtp (postfix-2.1.5-4.2.RHEL4.mysql.centos4) to send the email. I raised the max destination limit from 1000 to 5000, and made a test. Here the disaster began: Majority of the users received from 20 to 50 emails. Looking at the

My apologies for this because it is, technically, OT, but it is a classic example of what rotten support Linux (and CentOS) get in the US from equipment manufacturers. The whole email is a lie because they DO have the drivers on their asia site, they just don't want us 'Murkins to get our hands on them. Or maybe it's part of some clever little nuance of their agreement with Micro$oft

How difficult will it be to move from a server from FC6 to CentOS? No X needed, it's a server. -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work
