I don't understand Windows permissions under Samba. I am running an smb server under CentOS-5.4, and have a Windows XP Pro machine ("harriet") as a client. I have set up shares C and D on harriet corresponding to the 2 drives C: and D: on the machine, and I have asked that files should be shared. Now when I mount harriet:C I can see the top level folders, but cannot see Documents

For some reason I cannot fathom, cron.hourly runs twice each hour on one of my two CentOS-5.4 systems, as reported in /var/log/cron: ------------------------- Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27833]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27834]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- On the other it just runs once, as expected.

Is one meant to have one or the other? If so, which is recommended? I have -------------------------------- [tim at helen etc]$ cat anacrontab # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details. SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root 1 65 cron.daily run-parts /etc/cron.daily 7 70 cron.weekly

I've just noticed that cron.daily, etc, do not seem to be running on my CentOS-5.4 system. The scripts in /etc/cron.d/ all run fine, but those in /etc/cron.hourly, etc, seem to be ignored. I see that according to /var/log/cron these commands are seen, eg Feb 28 18:01:01 helen crond[6680]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) but none of the scripts in this directory seem to be touched.

The mirrorlist entry in my Fedora-11 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-update.repo reads: mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f$releasever&arch=$basearch As far as I can see, this means that yum is looking for the file metalink at mirrors.fedoraproject.org ?

I seem to have partitions on two different disks with the same UUID: [tim at helen ~]$ sudo blkid /dev/sda2 /dev/sda2: LABEL="/boot1" UUID="5bbc8e95-6108-41f5-bc0e-5b5f8df5ce03" TYPE="ext3" [tim at helen ~]$ sudo blkid /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb2: LABEL="/boot1" UUID="5bbc8e95-6108-41f5-bc0e-5b5f8df5ce03" TYPE="ext3" This is

I'd be interested in any corrections or comments on the following instructions (basically for myself): We assume that BackupPC has been installed: sudo yum install BackupPC 1. BackupPC must be run by the user backuppc. Accordingly the lines User apache Group apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to User backuppc Group backuppc 2. The user backuppc must be able to

Probably. The fact remains that booting was attractive, and now it isn't. --

I'm running httpd-2.4.6-31.el7.centos.1.x86_64 under CentOS-7 (kernel 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64). I cannot get the httpd userdir facility working; when I try to access localhost/Menloe I get the message "You don't have permission to access /Menloe on this server." I see in /var/log/httpd/error_log "Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible:

I'm running postfix + dovecot on my CentOS-7 home server. When I send myself a message I get this error message in /var/log/maillog: Aug 9 12:59:57 alfred postfix/lmtp[31336]: B0D02220748: to=<tim at localhost.gayleard.eu>, orig_to=<tim at localhost>, relay=alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=475, delays=474/0.03/0.02/0.09, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred

Has the CentOS logo disappeared from CentOS-7? I thought the logo in CentOS-6 was very pleasant. Also I liked the way in which one increasing circle inside another showed how the boot was progressing. The dots going round and round in Microsoft fashion in CentOS-7 is a retrograde step, I think. One always has the fear it might continue forever. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School

I'm trying to setup sendmail/dovecot on a new server running CentOS-6 (well, CentOS-6.2 now).
