Hello: I have a subversion repository set up in /usr/local/svn/MyProject. For security, I have that directory set to apache as the owner and group and all files are mode 700. I need to run a svnsync command as the apache user so it may write to the repository. I tried this command: su apache -c "/usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject" But I get this

Hello: I posted this to the subversion list yesterday and have not received a reponse. I am hoping someone on this list will be able to help me. I have a CentOS 5 server running subversion 1.5.6-0.2.el5.rf installed using yum from the rpmforge repository. I am using svnsync to mirror from another repository to the local machine. It is called from a cron job every 5 minutes. After a few days

Hello: I have a Supermicro SuperServer 5015P-TR. It has a Pentium D and is running CentOS x86_64. Can this machine use 8GB RAM? I think it should because it is running a 64 bit OS, but I am concerned because it is fundamentally 32 bit hardware. Anyone have any experience in this area?

Hello: On a CentOS5 machine I set up for a client, in /etc/aliases, I set root's mail to forward to my email address so I can get notices from cron, etc. Unfortunately, I am now getting a lot of spam which is sent to root at theservername.com How can I tell sendmail to not accept external email to root? I searched the Internet and found some horribly convoluted solutions. There has to

Hello: I am trying to set up user quotas on my /var partition to enforce limits on user's mailbox sizes. The machine is running CentOS 5. When I do this: /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/md2 | grep 'Block size' Block size: 4096 That tells me the block size is 4k. But, if I do: repquota /var It is telling me that one of my users is currently using 10264 blocks. But, if I look at

Hello: I followed the instructions here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/ch02s04s01.html to put isolinux on a usb drive. When I boot from the usb drive, the installer comes up and I can do a network install. I have to say that is very impressive! But, since I have a 4GB usb drive, I am thinking I can load the rest of the installation onto the usb drive so I do not have

Hello: I have a machine running CentOS 5.2 I added two IP addresses to eth0 by copying /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1 and changing the relevant IP info. I am now seeing outbound connections failing at my firewall from services like NTP, etc. since they are now using a source address from one

Hello: I have a server set up a CentOS 5 server for a client to push files onto using FTP. I have a cron job to process the files and move them to another directory. Sometimes, the cron job executes while the client is still uploading a file (Some of them can be large) and I get a partial file. Is there a way to tell when a file has finished uploading? I am using the vsftpd daemon installed

Just to chime in here, what I use is another file that is transferred last. It can be zero sized. Just some name you look for and then delete when you are done for next time. It doesn't matter how long that one takes because you will know that the important files are already transferred. chuck -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at

Hello: I tried this command to tar up a set of data files updated since yesterday (The data directory contains multiple files with varying dates): /bin/tar -z -c -N 2009-03-25 -f /tmp/test.tgz data When I look at the content of the test.tgz file, it looks like it copied the content of the entire directory, not just the newer files. I am on CentOS 5. Any ideas? Thanks, Neil -- Neil

Hello: I tried to unsuccessfully install a guest on xen. It failed when it tried to connect to the display since I installed the OS without a graphical environment. When I do an xm list, I do not see the guest, but if I try to do virt-install with the same guest name, it tells me the domain already exists. I tried xm delete on the domain but that also tells me the domain does not exist. Any

Hello: I need to build a system like this for a client: I will have a Linux server in a data room. It will have a web interface where the users may upload files. The files may be: Word, Excel, PDF, tif files, etc. Now, using the web interface, they should be able to brig up a list of files, select a set to print and send them to a local printer that is running as a shared printer on a Windows

Hello: When I installed CentOS 4.4 (from the ServerCD) on my server, I told it not to install a firewall and I disabled SELinux. The server is a SuperMicro 5015P-TR. I set up my own /etc/init.d/firewall with these rules: #!/bin/sh # Firewall script # # Source function library . /etc/init.d/functions RETVAL=0 # Some definitions (Will need to change ETH0_IP to match your configuration)

Here's a thought: what about doing an lsof? If a file is still being written by ftpd it should be open for writing.

Hello: I have a client that is using MS SQL Server in a Windows 2003 server. They have a Linux machine (Fedora Core 3) that is acting as a file server using Samba. We want to write backups from the SQL Agent for SQL Server to one of the shares on the Samba server. If I set the share to allow guest access, the SQL Agent can write the backups just fine using \\Shares\SQLBackups\pubs.bak but, if
