similar to: Rsync security

I am in a precarious spot.... I run centos 4.0. I upgraded my mod_perl RPM to mod_perl 2.0.1. CGI.pm 3.10 (3.05 comes with centos 4.0) fixes some namespace issues with mod_perl vs mod_perl 2.0.1. I need to upgrade to it to 3.10. Yet that file belongs to the perl rpm that comes with centos. What do people generally do in this type of situation? Do I need to compile a new perl just to upgrade

Interestingly, i just posted to the list a similar SPEC file. look at the thread on CGI.pm. I've attached my spec file for "fakejava" as well. It was a lot of trial and error to make it work. None of the documentation I could find was for modern versions of RPM, and IIRC the documentation i did find for older versions was incorrect somehow. I think I had to specify a source

Hello, I'm having problems with rsync hanging on Cygwin. I read some archives of the list about this, but if I understood it correctly this problem had been solved? Mine prevails though. I'm running rsync 2.6.2 at both ends, Cygwin's version on the Windows end and backports.org's version on the other, Debian Woody, end. The one on the Cygwin end is running as a daemon, --daemon

Hi, I have setup a rsync server with a rsync running as a deamon, due to security rules I cannot open the rsync standard port (873) in the firewall. We have to tunnel rsync through ssh. On the client side, which is linux kernel 2.4 I have made the following script, but ssh -i /home/ifao/bin/traveltest -f -C -L 2211:cib.ifao.net:8730 cytric@localhost sleep 1000 rsync -auz --password-file=rsync.cib

Hello, This may be a really stupid question, but can a gel type marine battery be used in a UPS? Thanks

Recently I've found out about rsync and wanted to use this to mirror local disks on one of my servers. I first ran Ghost for Linux to get the exact clone I was looking for, and now I'm ready to setup rsync to keep my drives mirrored on a continual basis. Here's my setup: 1 Seagate 4.6GB SCSI on /dev/sda, mounted like this: /dev/sda1 ==> /boot - 101M /dev/sda2 ==> swap - 269M

Hey I was just curious if anyone knew of any scripts or command line programs that are out there that could be used to check bandwidth on a network. -- Andrew Rice Jr

Hi all - is there some magic flag i'm missing that will allow me to rsync a raw device? Not the dev entry, but the device itself? I have a filesystem (backuppc data store) that does not respond well to directory traversal due to an extremely high number of hard links (which generate lots of disk seeks), and probably would not work well with rsync anyway due to a large number of actual

There are a few flac players on OS X now, but none (at least none that i know of) seem to use Core Audio. So they all freak out if i try to play a 24/96 file. I was recently poking around with the Tiger X Code tools and there's a simple core audio player in there /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Services/AudioFileTools/ called afplay. how hard would it be to get this thing playing flac

I suspect it''s probably not a good idea but I was wondering if someone could clarify the details. I have 4 250G SATA(150) disks and 1 250G PATA(133) disk. Would it cause problems if I created a raidz1 pool across all 5 drives? I know the PATA drive is slower so would it slow the access across the whole pool or just when accessing that disk? Thanks for your input. - Chris

I've got myself an Adaptec 2200 HW RAID card to play for couple of days. Tha card uses aacraid device driver. Seems to work nicely, however just wandering if there's a tool (prefferably CLI) for CentOS that can read out RAID configuration data, status of individual drives, maybe even manage (create/delete) RAID devices? Thanks for any and all pointers.

Does anyone know the raw device size limitation with CentOS-3 and CentOS-4

Hi, I have a client that is looking for an solution to do bandwidth monitoring and traffic shapping. I would like to use Centos if possible, but I need somthing that has a GUI so they can easily make changes and updates. It would have to be ip based or mac address. What would you suggest. I have looked a Ipcop and smoothwall as solutions so far. Thanks

Hello, I have a webcam that I wish to view from the internet. It is a wireless linksys model with an ip address of 192.168.1.15. I have it set on port 8081, 192.168.1.15:8081. I am using the IP Masquerade HowTo script. Here's the rule I added to my firewall script: EXTIF="ppp0" INTIF="eth1" EXTIP="`$IFCONFIG $EXTIF | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \ -f

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a bandwidth shaper that can limit downloads from certain IPs on a LAN. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of something that's easy to set up and configure. Even better if there's already a package that's on the CentOS repositories (or if not, maybe an RPM). Thanks and best regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and

I found this in the large and growing list of downloadable vmware appliances: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/316. I haven't run it yet, but it claims to provide a way to mirror running windows boxes over iscsi to vmware disk images, then allows you to boot that image under vmware as a replacement for the server with little downtime. Has anyone attempted something like this

Is it functionally possible to have only one simple progress bar represent the whole rsync operation?

Respected Sir I want to know whther rsync supports resource fork on mac os x. If it doesnt is there any alternative to handle resource fork while doing remote replication between mac and other platforms. Amol Gajewar SPSOFT TECH India

Does anyone know a simple self-contained (e.g., along with the appropriate cygwinxxxx.dll file) rsync and ssh binary Windows distribution of rsync and ssh in which ssh supports protocol 2? I tried the installation from http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/binaries/ but these do not support protocol 2. Thanks, Ken Senior

Hi Not entirely centos related but that what the boxes are running so here i go ;) 2 of our centos boxes run nagios for network monitoring and send email and paging alerts and are connected to standard phone lines using modems to send the pages. I'm looking for a way in the event of provider failure to login to these machines and so am looking at the ability to connect to the console over
