I'm trying to set up my Centos 5.1 box at home to run mythtv. The DVB-T card requires saa7134 and saa7134_dvb. These are not in the Centos kernels. Centosplus has saa7134, but not saa7134_dvb. Do I have to compile the kernel myself, or is there a trick? Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, Carlsberg A/S, Computer Department Gamle Carlsberg Vej 10, DK-2500 Valby, Denmark Phone: +45 33 27 53 25, Fax:

I run a CentOS/Fedora mirror with rsync access.

My local centos mirror (ftp.crc.dk) failed to boot after having upgraded from centos 5.0 to 5.1 (i386). It just displays GRUB The cursor is positioned to the right of a space after GRUB, and no input is accepted. I've tried booting in rescue mode and run: chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 This completes without errors, but still it can't boot. It's a HP/Compaq

Yesterday, I've moved all my samba users from a redhat 9 (i386) system to a Centos 5 (x86_64) system. This runs samba-3.0.25-7. The system uses NIS authentication, no shadow files. Now all my Windows users have accounts that expire today! Strangely, if I do a: # pdbedit -L -v mk I get: Password last set: Tue, 18 May 2004 15:04:30 CEST Password can change: Tue, 18 May 2004 15:04:30

I have a CentOS 5 machine with an external 500G USB disk, formatted with JFS. How do I get this to mount automatically at boot time? If I add to /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /var/video jfs defaults 1 2 fsck.jfs complains at boot time: Error: Cannot open device /dev/sdb1 Usage: fsck.jfs ... ... Give root password for maintenance ... If I log in with the root password, /dev/sdb1 is present, and I

Does the root user on the CentOS 5 live CD have a password? If so, which? su and sudo asks for a password, it is neither empty, root nor centos.

I have a redhat 9 server I would like to migrate (install Centos on a new machine, and move the necessary files) to Centos 5. On the RH9 machine, I use LPRng for printing. This was mainly choosen because it makes it easy to control access to the printers using /etc/lpd.perms, something I never figured out how to do in cups. All printer queues are raw printers, the printer driver in Windows takes

If I boot C5 from DVD in rescue mode, chroot to /mnt/sysimage, and try to do a grub-install /dev/sda it will fail because the /dev folder is empty (in the chroot environment). Until now I've then created the missing nodes manually, but is there a smarter way of doing this? Some devfs that needs to be mounted on top of /dev?

I have a machine running Centos 5, x86_64. It has an Intel NIC: # lspci 15:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Fiber) (rev 06) The machine has two dualcore cpus. If I look at /proc/interrupts I get: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 144873228 220741831 173615012 220733357 IO-APIC-edge timer 4: 269120 1203485

Scenario: Centos 5 x86_64 machine with samba-3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2 The machine is a PDC, Windows 2000 users logon, get profiles, etc. I'm trying to set up a folder in apache that uses NTLM authentication using mod_auth_ntlm_winbind. I've followed: http://adldap.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_ntlm_winbind.php winbindd is running, and ntlm_auth seems to work: # ntlm_auth --username=pdc2

I have a centos 4 i386 machine that works like a router (iptables filter, NAT) with two NIC''s. One NIC is connected to my ISP (100 Mbit FTTH), I get a DHCP assigned public IP that changes "sometimes". Most incoming ports are blocked by my ISP. In order to get a fixed IP and open ports, I have to set up a PPTP tunnel to the ISP. The default gw and the NAT''ing goes to

Dear Sir, Recently I've upgraded our Samba installation. After then I find that all WinXP workstations cannot logon to the server. The official HOWTO mentioned this problem and suggested resetting the SID using "net setlocalsid ....". But this does not help in my case. The SID of our server has not been changed. So I've to go to every workstation for rejoin the domain. This

Dear All Has any one had any success with getting a Linux box to register with a DNS server hosted on a Windows 2k3 server? This process takes place automatically on the Windows boxes but not at all on the Linux boxes. We run our Intranet/Web servers on Linux but the whole of the rest of our network is run on Windows. In the past we have used SAMBA to maintain WINS entries but would now like

Hi knowledgeable samba users, I had to upgrade from samba 2.2.0 on a suse linux server (7.2). Server died after two 2+ years of loyal services - otherwise I would not have changed... Now I have a samba 3.0.9-2.6 on suse 9.1. I can access the files only r-x, i.e. all files appear as read only. Trying to trouble shoot I have: - chmod-ed all the files of all the shares to 777 - in swat put the

I had exactly the same problem. Your workaround fixed me too. With the new samba packages my samba\logs are full of errors. If I temporarily disconnected the PC client NIC cable, and logged into the domain using cached credentials, then I could get past the problem. But, you helped me greatly with this posting. I wasted hours checking Windows updates - useless. We still need the new
