Hi. We have a Windows laptop that has gotten too slow, it's borderline unusable, so I burned a CentOS 5.2 32-bit Live CD, just to try it out in the home. It boots up fine, but it does not connect to the Internet... Now we normally connect through a wireless network, there are several around here -- on the Windows box we choose the network to which to connect... but on CentOS there is

Hi, I have a centos 5 (current) mail server that I have compiled dovecot/postfix and installed some packages like mysql etc. These packages have been configured and changed to my liking. How can I now save all this and install it on another server without having to do all the work of compiling installing and configuring the same applications. Is it possible to burn this server image into multiple

Hi, Taking this to a new thread. Thoughts on getting a new list started up ? Should it be centos-sysadmin or centos-infra ? Are we going to then restrict it to admin/infra related chatter ? in which case, does the eyeball density on this list reduce for that sort of content ? How about the politics and news stuff that gets posted to this list. And how would those things be addressed with

I have an odd situation here, maybe one of you can help.? We have a script that runs via a cron job.? It's purpose is to decrypt PGP-encrypted files in a certain directory.? I have tried the command two different ways, both fail with the same error message: gpg --decrypt $file > ${file%.txt}.decrypted.txt gpg --output ${file%.txt}.decrypted.txt --decrypt $file (Don't even ask about

Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge? We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a bit paranoid about its functionality. The main things that confuse me are from the man page: "Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern" with no indication as to what defines "mailbox-pattern"

talking with a client about various options for backup. They are an advertising agency so most of the space is used by various binary files JPG/TIFF/Movies. We have been using LTO-2 but if we jump up their storage to say 2Tb, that's going to be $5000 for LTO-3 with magazines. This affords us 3 week rotations rather simply. If we add hard drive storage for backups instead of buying LTO-3 tape

Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS team has already jumped on that, is there any word on Release 6? IIRC it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10), so I have to wonder. I didn't see anything jump out at me on the Red Hat site, so - anyone? Thanks. mhr

My belief is that this is not possible, but there are many extremely knowledgeable people participating on this list and I would like to know if it is in fact possible. I am running CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) fully updated. Browser is Mozilla Firefox v.3.0.7. I believe both times this happened, once yesterday and once today, I was surfing on the web site of my favorite singer/musical group; or in the

Hi, I'm trying to backup from one machine to the other (automatically via cron) using rsync and ssh password-less public key authentication. I having been trying to set this up following an article in a Linux magazine[1] by only allowing the specific rsync command to run on the remote box. I am using the following rsync command: $ rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/backup-key" /backup

I just tried to run a bash script (called "whose") from my USB drive and I get this: bash: /mt/bin/whose: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied I did some googling and found that this is because my USB drive is mounted with noexec permission. When I was running FC8, this was not the case. How can I control this (i.e., allow 'exec' on my USB drive(s))? Thanks mhr

Hi all! Maybe I'm just being silly here, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever used their computer for sharing files over USB. That is, the computer pretends to be a USB mass storage device. This could be useful for connecting to media players and such that support you plugging a USB harddrive or memory stick. Surely, somebody must have thought of this before :-D regards, Bent

Our new lab has HP Intel Core 2 Quad systems with DVD/CDRW and SATA. I can provide the model number if needed. They stop on kernel startup when trying to boot the CentOS 5.2 boot CD. It is during ACPI. I have tried linux noprobe and linux pci=noacpi and linux noprobe pci=noacpi. I still cannot get to the first install screen. Fedora 10 Live will not but up either. I am using Fedora 9 from

I note that there are two 'rc.local' files. One is in /etc and the other in /etc/rc.d Which has precedence and is the one to use? Thanks, Ric
