Hi, # uname -a Linux obfuscated.example.com 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 20:23:34 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I noticed a few days ago that I'm not getting my logwatch emails to the root account any longer, and while I've definitely been applying updates from base, no other changes have happened on this box. I ran logwatch at the command line: logwatch --detail medium

HI folks, Apologies if this is OT. If it is, please msg me offllist and I'll carry on my searching elsewhere. Where does mysql actually store databases and tables in the filesystem? Thanks in advance -Ray

Hi all, With SELinux in permissive mode and iptables running, I'm unable to retrieve directory listings with ftp. stop iptables, and all appears again. This seems to be unrelated to passive/port modes for ftp client. If this is off topic, please let me know offlist and I'll take my question elsewhere. Otherwise I'll repost with output of # iptables status TIA, ~Ray

Hi, I'd be happy to offer my services in proofreading the newsletter if this is needed. My 'day' job is that of a technical writer and I'm a native english speaker. If I can be of help, I'd be happy to. Regards, Ray Leventhal

Hi all, I find I'm in need of sg.c and can't seem to locate the rpm for the generic scsi driver on my CentOS5 CD's. Might someone point me in the right place, please? Thanks in advance, ~Ray

Hi folks, I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a bit, done my googling and archive searching but I still can't seem to 'get' it. Here goes: I've a spare drive in my CentOS5.1 box, which (for testing now) I mount manually under /mnt/backup I want to backup the /home tree to that box nightly via rsync (cronjob), so I tried this: rsync -avrogz /home/

Hi folks, I've put my new DNS server in place, told the primary that this IP would be pulling zones and restarted BIND on the primary. I configured my named.conf file to pull zones from the primary, started BIND on the new box. Here's where I get confused ++++++++++++++++++++++++ [root at sunspot etc]# /etc/init.d/named status number of zones: 169 debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers

Hi All, We are using the following dataset which contains UTF-8 characters and is stored in a MySQL database. When we use RODBC and read the data, the characters are read correctly.But when we read using RJDBC ,the characters are read like ???????????????????????????1 Can you please let me know how we can read the UTF-8 characters as it is done by RODBC.

Hi all, Please pardon my newbie-ness on this issue....I've a / partition which is full (quite suddenly, actually) and I'm not sure how to fix this. I've searched for uneeded logs, etc in /var/log and /tmp to no avail. The system is CentOS 5.2 and is not connected to the internet, serves as a local LAN server running stock stuff...sendmail, dovecot, apache..nothing strange or

I'm testing Dovecot as a possible replacement for UW. In my environment the home directories are automounted via NFS from a NetApp. In general this works fine, but Dovecot isn't picking up the automounted directories. Consider the case of Arthur Dent, test user: May 12 10:30:24 testbed dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Login: user=<adent>, method=PLAIN,

Hi, Being a novice this is my first usage of R. I am trying to use rpart for building a decision tree in R. And I have the following dataframe Outlook Temp Humidity Windy Class Sunny 75 70 Yes Play Sunny 80 90 Yes Don't Play Sunny 85 85 No Don't Play Sunny 72 95 No Don't Play Sunny 69 70 No Play Overcast 72 90 Yes Play Overcast 83 78 No Play Overcast 64 65 Yes Play Overcast 81 75

When using ifcfg-eth0:x files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, should each file (where x increments appropriately) point to DEVICE=eth0:x or DEVICE=eth0:0? I apparently have my alias files all ifcfg-eth0:0 - ifcfg-eth0:7 show DEVICE=eth0:0. Is this right? It seems odd to me and while it does seem odd, the alias IPs are being appropriately responded to, answering pings and nameserver

Hi all, Advance apologies for being slightly OT. Has anyone had successes with installing gphpedit on CentOS 5? There don't seem to be any rpms avail for our distro and I'm far too new to roll my own. Thanks in advance (off - list replies are welcome if that's more appropriate) -Ray

Hi all, CentOS 5.2, not yet updated to 5.3. Based on the alert on udev, I attempted to update udev and libvolume packages with the following result. A check of what's currently on the system reveals udev-095-14.19.el5 which I believe to be the affected version. Is it just that it hasn't rolled out to all the mirrors yet? Thanks in advance, -Ray [root at wh01]# yum clean all

Thank you Jim, The code did assist me to get the what I needed. Also, I learnt that there are different types of dashes (en-dash/em-dash/hyphen) as explained on this site : http://www.punctuationmatters.com/hyphen-dash-n-dash-and-m-dash/ I achieved it by executing below command after going through this page on stackoverflow:

Hi folks, As a breather from the "thread-now-wider-than-my-headers-window-in-thunderbird" conversation re: mixing repos, I have a question regarding a machine I'm about to put online. :) I run a web hosting company and my secondary (primary to the world) DNS box died from a massive rootkit/hack last night. It was running an old Slackware 9.1 installation and I will be completely

Hi all, My CentOS 5 nameserver is seemingly unable to be queried by anything but itself (localhost, 127.0.0.1). From any other machine, including the primary which *does* transfer zone files correctly to this machine (which is secondary), requests time out. I've put SELinux into permissive mode, so I don't think that's an issue. /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf begins thus:

Hi, it has been a while now since the last changes to the Voltronic Sunny code, because it's working just fine. I saw that there are a lot of changes in the master tree and my question is what I should do with the Voltronic Sunny part? Does it still make sense to try to make a pull-request out of it? Best, Nick

On delving deeper into Miredo support, it seems that Miredo Server is a separate program from the Miredo client/relay. And that there is no Miredo Server available for Centos 6. Not in EPEL 6, or repoforge. So far the maintainer of Miredo for Fedora/EPEL has not reponded to a query on its status for EPEL 6. I have to ask on repoforge about miredo-server. Anyone know of anywhere else to
