Hey Y'all, I'm trying to turn off the kernel screen blanker that shuts off the video after about 10 minutes of inactivity at the keyboard. After extensive googling I've found two ways to *NOT* do it. In my home .xinitrc setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 xset s off In /etc/rc.local /usr/bin/setterm -powersave off -blank 0 I've tried both to no effect. Of course

I have a dual homed server in an install for someone who is very cost sensitive. This server originally is being setup as an Asterisk server, but now the simplest thing for me to do is also set it up to provide internet access for the small shop as well. So it will have one external, WAN facing nic that needs all incoming ports except UDP 5060 and 10000 -> 60000 blocked for all but two ips.

I need to implement a solution and not having ever used anything but MS Project I would be grateful for a reco on something good. The only hope would be that its web based but I am open to anything! Thanks! jlc

I have an Intel SE7525RP2 motherboard with a Yukon Marvel (82541GB controller) NIC in it. After installing CentOS 5.1 it functions fine for some minutes then looses network connectivity. By coincidence, I was using the system to clean some HD's for another and had booted off Knoppix and noticed it never exhibited this behavior, the network remained functional even overnight when I returned to

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me. Is there a hint to some documentation anyone here knows of that actually works? Thanks! jlc -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I'm coming from the Fedora arena and I want to build, what I would call, a production server. I'm to the point where I don't want to upgrade every 6-months. I'm running Oracle DB 11g, a Tomcat/JBoss hybrid application server, and several other server type functions. Is there an example of building a server that boots into init3? Thanks, Gene Poole -------------- next part

Hey Guys, I am trying to get a python script running but I get the following error: atexit.register(atexit_handler) NameError: global name 'atexit' is not defined A Google search doesn't really help me, except confirm that I don't know anything about python:) Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, jlc

What's the simplest way to increment the number 0000 up by one until some other 4 digit number while preserving leading zero's until the 1000's has a digit other than 0? Thanks! jlc

For ages I have been keeping docs and notes in Public Folders inside an Exchange server and want to move this out to a more modern facility that allows tagging and searching via a web interface for keywords so I can keep all my notes more organized. Anyone have any personal recos for the slickest system to do this with. Given the nature of my home setup, its routinely used to lab stuff up so I

I was using pfSense in a vm under esx but I want to move to Xen and prefer something that can run as a pv guest. Anyone got any reco's of what can run on top of CentOS to perform a similar role as pfSense (perform nat/pat and firewall etc between two interfaces)? Thanks for any ideas! jlc

I need to do some testing with 5.3 as its suggested that 5.4 has "some bugs in the toolchain and libc". That being the case, I can install with a url and repo line pointing to a mirror with 5.3 still but how does one properly make sure during subsequent uses of yum it doesn't attempt to use 5.4 rpms? Is it simple enough to just manually set '$releasever' to 5.3 in the repo

I have a user w/o a shell that runs an app as a daemon that needs to use mutt to email an attachment from a script. During testing when the app was ran as root everything worked:) Now that we obviously are running as a user w/o a shell this little bit broke. I used mutt as I needed to send the attachment as mime, and the ability to specify a muttrc from the cli when executed was useful so we

When choosing either of these methods and using an iso, how does CentOS determine the right iso file to mount? Is there an expected file name format? Thanks! jlc

HI I was just assigned a laptop with a pre install windows 7 in it. I decide to dual boot this server with cent os 5.5 , i did a "linux text " at the boot prompt as anaconda was not able to display the graphis screen ( it was barely viable ) . The installation happened perfect , but when i start x windows " startx" or init3 , i can barely see the display. I dont know where the

What are the ramifications to a large key length when using pub/priv keys for ssh authentication. I have some remote admin and file transfers to manage and only have ssh access w/o vpn to use for it. Thanks, jlc

We are moving all our (limited and badly organized) documentation to a wiki. Anyone got any examples/pointers to a hierarchy that made logical sense? We are hoping to move everything from topology to application specific notes in to the wiki. Given the size of this task, I only want to do this once:) Thanks for any reco's! jlc
