ok, given the flurry of responses to my original post, let me see if i have a handle on this as i think i've finally figured it out and, yes, it does make sense. the scenario is that there is a very large software company in the area whose only officially supported linux platform is currently suse. however, they are getting increasing call to have their product run on red hat. for most

I have had Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.1 installed on my CentOS 4.2 desktop and it worked fine. After upgrading to 4.3, I can't get it to come up anymore. I downloaded Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and it does the same. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to look for, since the executable and the startup scripts are not giving me any useful errors to chase. -- Ron Loftin

i'm reading the lowdown on 3rd party repos with respect to centos here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and i have a couple questions and observations. first, the entry for centosplus reads: "Popular packages from this repository include: postfix with database support, a rebuilt kernel with additional drivers & filesystem support, php5 and mysql5."

We currently have a Brother MFC-5490CN. Printer firmware is dated June 1010. (yeah, 10 years old). Few years ago the brother software wouldn't work for printing under Fedora. No problem, can print under Windows 10. Then it stopped scanning. Could still print...under Windows. Now, to fix the scanning features working I installed updated drivers under Windows, now it scans like champ, but

I am in the process of migrating from running CentOS 4.8 (32-bit) to CentOS 5.4 (64-bit) on my AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1300 system (it is running CentOS 4.8 32-bit because the disk images are from a previous PIII system), and things are 'interesting' WRT how the Lava Computer mfg Inc Quattro-PCI card is being handled. lspci (on CentOS 4.8 32-bit) yields: 01:0a.0 Serial controller:

does anyone here have pointers or access to courseware that could be used to teach centos (5.4, i believe)? publicly-available, free C/W would, of course, be ideal, but if you have some decent training manuals that you're willing to license on a per-manual basis, i'm still willing to chat. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

it's been a while since i've played with filesystem encryption so, on centos 5.4 (and other linux distros), is dm-crypt/LUKS considered to be the state of the art WRT encryption? i remember other solutions like loop-aes and others, but what's considered the gold standard these days? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Hello, mtx and therefor amanda use generic device /dev/sg<x> for tape changer. These devices change on reboot. How to make them persistent? /dev/sch0 and /dev/sch1 seem to be persistent. /dev/tape/by-id/ shows links from WWID to generic device An UDEV rule could help?

someone just pointed out to me that there is a distro called "oracle enterprise linux" which is effectively a re-branded RHEL, so i'm curious -- has anyone here used both centos and OEL and would there be any differences that would be worth caring about? the only thing i can think of that might be worthwhile is that OEL might change some of the default kernel parms thru

I noticed when CentOS 6 came out that RHEL had moved to postfix vice sendmail as the default MTA. I had never heard the rationale given, it always sat on the back burner, but I was reminded of the question the other day when I was dealing with a related topic. I don't want to get into a pissing contest about how one MTA is obviously better than the other, nor why others think that I should

Hello, I'm trying to get public key authentication working on a client to server connection so i can drop passwords. I've got the keys in place and confirmed they are working. I'm now trying to set up ssh-agent, I read i can do it manually i was looking for a more automated method for users on login. This is not through a gui. Thanks. Dave.

Does anyone know if the pan news reader works on CentOS 5.4? I am considering installing version 0.132 that I downloaded from pan.rebelbase.com . Thanks for your advice. Mike.

Hi listmates, Happy Thanksgiving! Does anybody know if there is a convenient utility to configure iptables on a CentOS 5.4 or 5.3 machine to do port forwarding? And if not, where and how does one put the requisite commands? Thanks. Boris.

Yesterday or Friday, don't remember, I happened to be looking at my processes on my machine, and discovered I had a number of ssh-agents running (all mine), from different days. I killed all but the current day's. Now, I log out every single night. I checked the next day, and sure enough, the one I started the previous day was still running, and I could not only use ssh-add, and it
