Hi all, I have a permissions problem with a samba share which I really can't fathom out. I'm trying to create a fully group writable share. Easy or so I thought. As you can see from my config I am trying all the options to set files group writable, however when I create a file from the client I'm always getting the mode 0644. Does anyone have a clue why? Thanks! client:

Hi all, I've set SELinux to disabled using the security and firewall widget but I'm still getting a lot of messages in Logwatch.... NULL security context for user, but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing () So it looks like SELinux is still operating. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off completely? It's my development server under my desk so I reallly don't care

Can anyone point me at a yum repository containing a CentOS 5 version of bacula? thanks -- Kevin Thorpe

I have restored my home directory in the past using rsync but never the entire system. If I rsync / (on my usb drive containing the backup) to / on the computer with a fresh install of the OS, what problems will I run into? What about links? I am presently triple booting 3 linux distros and want to delete one to install something else. The distro I'm installing will be on 3 partitions (/,

Hi every body I am a new centos user. I installed centos 6 on my laptop and add some software to it. How can I create a full image (boot able) back up of it. ( some thing like windows full image backup). please help! -- With The Best H.Lanjanian

Does anybody here have any idea how to make an exact copy of a drive that has LVM partitions? I'm having trouble using dd to do this for an EL5 server. We're trying to diagnose a software problem of some kind and would like an exact, perfect copy of the software running so that we can see exactly what the problem is without disturbing our production copy. It's been admin practice

Hi, After some months of configuring and testing a small server, think that would be nice to make a full server restore-point image in order to recover it if something goes wrong in the future, just restoring the image back and not making the full install and configure process all over again. The server uses Logical Volumes. I was thinking on using the CentOS LiveCD and then use dd command to

I have successfully created bootable USB flash drives containing the following bootable products: 1) Clonezilla (recent version) 2) Ultimate Boot CD (recent version) 3) OpenELEC (recent version) All of these apparently use SYSLINUX as part of the boot process. All three boot up just fine and with no problems at all on virtually all of the various systems that I have here at my

Hi all, excuse my newbie question but how can i backup my centos server? i have a dozzen of virtual hosts over it as well as substantial database entries.. i've backed up the following directories using rsync: workspace/ /etc/httpd/ /etc/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/ /usr/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql though i'm still not at ease with this, so i decided to do a some sort of clone or something

Hello All, I guess it is very common for administrative purpose, to dump and restore a CentOS 7 system. I usually use dump/restore commands. However, I?m having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system. Does anyone know a good document source that details those procedure? Thank you, Xinhuan Zheng

Hi all, I'm looking for a cloning solution for our Windows/Linux/*nix computer park and ran into Clonezilla. Apparantely the DRBL and other documentation mentions CentOS as a suitable base for it. Does anybody on this list use this solution and can say something about it in the running-Clonezilla-with-CentOS-context, be it recommendations, gotchas', warnings or whatever? Thanks. -- BW,

Hi, I've recently switched to CentOS 5.0 from RedHat 9.0 and found a new directory /proc which contains "virtual" files according to the docs. When I try to run my normal backup which uses cpio to create archives, it complains about not being able to access many files in the /proc directory. This is also true of some files in /sys/devices. Searching for something that

I have an odd issue. I have one machine that does not display to the monitor when it goes to a linux boot loader. It has the issue with grub and pxelinux. I see the bios but between bios and graphics driver I see a blank screen. Any recommendations on how to fix it? More to it. It is a newer nvidia card, That I need to drive a 4K monitor at 60Hz . If I replace it with an old nvidia card I can

Hi, I need to set up a small server for a group of ~10 employees (all using Windows 2000/XP, used to use a windows 2000/exchange setup). I have a linux server already running CentOS 4, so I'd like to do all I can with this. I thought about using Samba for file/print sharing and OpenXchange (commercial version) to have a nice collaborative/mail/calendar/etc server. Of course, it would

Hello, I have been using mondorescue to backup to dvd for several months now without any problems. Since upgrading to Centos 4.4, I now receive a few errors. The errors are for files in /var/named/chroot/proc. I guess these files change so when I do a differntial backup they aren't there and result in errors. (Never got any errors before and I think these files were there in 4.3) If I

I want to see things, I'm not sure how quiet would work. Maybe next time I get the box I can re-put in the older working card and try to do a firmware upgrade. This does not seem distro specific. All versions of grub and syslinux do not work in the default configs. I will try using menu.c32 vs vesamenu.c32 as well. To see if it won't display. On Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 4:52 AM, Gene Cumm

Good morning. Novice usR. Here. I am following this string, among many, learning as I go. Quick question please? I thought that perhaps ata.frame was part of the zoo pkg, b/c when I searched it came up in help? However, evidently not or I am not using it properly. Please advise, thank you. x <- list(A=data.frame(x=1:2, y=3:4),B=data.frame(x=5:6,y=7:8)) x2 <- do.call(rbind,

It looks like you made a copy/paste error below. Your ata.frame should be data.frame. Kevin On 05/04/2018 08:18 AM, Bill Poling wrote: > Good morning. > > Novice usR.

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the

Hi Kevin, There is probably a better way, but it can be done in two steps like this temp <- list(A=data.frame(x=1:2, y=3:4),B=data.frame(x=5:6,y=7:8)) temp <- lapply(names(temp), function(n, temp) { temp[[n]]$type <- n return(temp[[n]]) }, temp = temp) do.call(rbind, temp) On Wed, May 2, 2018 at 1:11 PM, Kevin E.
