kickstart install using url location
Hi,
I am working on a kickstart install method and it works fine with
cdrom as installation media. I would like change this media to an
online resource. I saw option as - 'url --url http://<server>/<dir>'.
I am not sure what should be the directory contents? Should we put all
ISOs in that directory or what? Any insights?
Thanks,
CS.

software installation - good practice
Howdy,
I tend to try out many open source apps/packages - games, editors to
media tools. I have a bad habit of downloading and extracting source
in the /var/tmp directory and then doing configure-make-install
process. I am not sure of best practice (good practices) to be
followed when installing any software. For example how and where to
keep the src. Any comments and/or resources would be really

patch with -d switch, but that doesn't work. It complains abt 'patch:

non-root access to log files
Hi,
I would like to give read-only access to mysql and apache-http server
log files to a non-root user. I can modify group or other permissions.
But is there any other way you can suggest? Can I update it in user's
home dir?

LDAP and samba
Hi,
I am not sure how to configure LDAP authentication with samba. I have
a windows box, which is part of Active Directory domain and does user
authentication against it. I would like to use same user credentials
and map them to a appropriate network drive (linux home dirs). In
short, Linux user's home dir should be available on Windows box also.
I looked at the smb.conf man page, but I

autofs with nfs plus local directories
Hi,
I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user
accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this
setup. Now I need to create a local user account and have its home dir
also on local system. So I added a new user account and changed
auto.home as follows:
test1 -rw,hard,intr /home/test1

DR Server for Windows Machines
I need to setup a CentOS box offsite to have a series of files replicated to it.
My problem is this machine won't have Samba on it but I need to replicate the
hierarchy in question in such a manner that I can restore from it and retain
file system permissions.
That's where I am stumped, anyone got any ideas?

Getting slapd under CentOS 6 to log connections, etc.
I am running the stock OpenLDAP-servers on a CentOS 6 system. Everything is
working just fine, but I am trying to debug connections from a Ubuntu (18.04)
system and want to turn on logging in slapd, but although I can get slapd to
create a log file, it never actually writes anything.
I have these two lines in /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif:

auto mounting group shares
I am using autofs to mount user's home and group directories. The
setup works fine for home directories which are mounted after user
logs in. The group shares are also mounted, but user has to manually
do cd or ls command on group shares, e.g.: ls /groups/chemistry will
mount chemistry group share. Is there any way to mount group shares
automatically?
I noticed that after successful login

hostname changes
Howdy,
How do I change the hostname?
In particular, what is the difference between /etc/hosts and
/etc/sysconfig/network files? Where should I make the changes?
Thanks,

Change system-wide default configuration for FF and OO with /etc/skel
Hi,
I'm using a heavily tweaked CentOS 5.4 for desktop installs (here's what
it looks like: http://www.microlinux.fr/captures.html).
For every app I install, I try to configure a sensible default
configuration system-wide for all users. For example, once I found a
nice configuration for XMMS (default skin, loads of plugins, orange On
Screen Display in a nice font, etcetera), I put my

NetworkManager constantly overwriting /etc/resolve.conf - how to disable?
Hi all,
I have a CentOS 5.4 server-only installation, i.e. no X installed, and

NetworkManager on a constant basis. I haven't been able to track down
how often, but I think it's on the hour, or something.

Firefox 78 under CentOS 6 -- no sound?
I did a yum update on my CentOS 6 laptop and it upgraded Firefox to 78, and
FF stopped seeing my mic and speakers. Is there some magic I need to do? As
a short term (?) fix, I downgraded back to Firefox 68. My system is otherwise
up-to-date.

Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5? It does not

Updated Spam Assassin for CentOS 5...
I am wondering about updating the version of Spam Assassin on my CentOS 5 mail
server. The current version, 3.3.1-4.el5 (stock RHEL version), has been
'leaking' recently. I suspect I need some newer match rules to detect some of
the newer flavors of spam. I see that in rpmforge's extras repo is version
3.3.2-4.el5.rfx -- is this version worth installing? Are there even newer

Question about the ahci kernel module: missing in the CentOS (4) Plus kernel
Is there some reason the ahci kernel module is *missing* from the
2.6.9-89.0.16.plus.c4 kernel? It is in the standard 2.6.9-89.0.16.EL
kernel. Is this due to an oversight or is there some sort of conflict?
I wanted to add IEEE1394 support to my system running CentOS 4.8. I
*looks* like what I need to do is download the kernel SRPM and patch the
config to include the IEEE1394 modules and
