Using CentOS 5.5 x86_64. I am trying to install software that comes on two discs. I can start the install just fine, but when it comes to taking out the first disc and putting in the second, the system won't let me eject it. I remember reading something on the internet once about something needing to be enabled to allow this to work, but I can't find it now. Does anybody have a clue as

I have Windows 7 on /dev/sda and CentOS 6.4 on /dev/sdb.

I have two HP dc7800 convertible minitowers that are exhibiting the following issue: every 5-10 minutes, they will "freeze" for about 30 seconds, and then pick right back up again. During the freeze, it seems that nothing at all happens on the system; the clock doesn't even advance (it just picks up again with the next second, and that 30-or-so seconds are lost). I've tried both

Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source

I'm confused as to how to install updates for CentOS 5.6 without upgrading to 6.0. When I do a "yum check-updates", the new *-release packages for 6.0 are listed, so I don't think I want to do a simply "yum update". Is there a way to update 5.6 without going to 6.0? --- Mike VanHorn Senior Computer Systems Administrator College of Engineering and Computer Science

Using CentOS 5.8: Currently on my workstations, when I press the power button the computer immediately does a 'shutdown -h now' (per /etc/acpid/events/power.conf). Is there a way to change it so that a confirmation dialog comes up, rather than an immediate shutdown? I assume that I am going to need to change that power.conf file to tell some program that the power button's been

I have a set of CentOS 5.7 workstations, on which I have turned of iscsid using 'chkconfig iscid off'. However, when some of them reboot, iscsid starts anyway. Also, when I do an 'service --status-all", iscsid is listed twice (this is true on both the workstations where iscsid starts and the ones where iscsid doesn't start), which seems to indicate, I think, that it is

According to all of the documentation I can find, an /etc/printcap file (or whatever filename is specified with the Printcap directive) is generated by cupsd ever time a printer is added or removed. On all of my CentOS 6.7 systems, this is NOT happening. I can restart cups and add or remove printers over and over and it still doesn't generate the printcap file. Is this a known issue, or is

I would like to have my lab workstations logout a session after the person has been idle for a certain period of time. After some searching on the web, I got into /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas and set the default value of max_idle_action to ?forced-logout?: <schema> <key>/schemas/desktop/gnome/session/max_idle_action</key>

Well, if I just run audit2why again, it always tells me the same thing. However, I have now discovered that if I unset allow_ypbind, and then reset it to 1, audit2why then says

Hello listmates, I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/ http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication? Thanks.

This is weird. As in, *deeply* weird. I ssh as root from one box to another (there are keys involved), and I go to vi a file, such as # line 1 # # line 2 # # line 3 # line 4 And what I see in vi is # line 3 # line 4 BUT, if I scroll the cursor over each line with the arrow key... I see all four lines. I've also looked at another file, and same thing. Just checked it out on the server I

Hello; Forgive me for asking on this list, but I've noticed that their has been some recent changes to the code with regards to netgroup.h, and hoping that someone on this list can help, I've already tried the users list.
