Dear All, CentOs 6 is great, but I would like to get back 2 things from 5.6 : how can I always see the text lines during startup? (so no graphical screen ) how can I *not *see all the users on the system when loging on? (so that users also have to remember their username) thanks for any advise.

Dear all, I have a question regarding 2 network card setup, when e.g. using dhcp. Until a few months ago, I worked with OpenSuse. There in firewall config, you had to assign each NIC to a zone, either internal, external, DMZ or custom. Without it not much would work. I don't seen anything on CentOs in firewall config. So how does this work in CentOs? greetings, James -- Johan

Hello, when I log in through ssh to a remote site and open the web interface from a ( new ) printer using Lynx, it only displays : FRAME: wlmframe I suspect this is some unfriendly coding, that will cost me time in opening Firefox instead of Lynx or w3m.

Dear All, I'm sending this mail in relation to a post on the CentOs 6 forum : https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32545&start=0#forumpost139559 CentOs 6 works great so far, and I do not want to sound impatient, but I'm eager to find out when Ltsp would be available on CentOs6 - or even in Rhel6. We now use Kiwi-Ltsp on OpenSuse and

Dear All, I installed CentOs on a brand new Dell Lattitude E5430. I did a minimal install, then did a "yum groupinstall Desktop" and I installed xorg-x11-drv-intel.i686. Also, I installed a i686 CentOs on a 64bit system, thinking because it has 4Gb or ram, It makes no difference. The screen is split top to bottom on the left hand side. This was quickly solved by adding

Dear All, Since RHEL/Centos went to Firefox10, I have about 50 users who have sync-pop-ups. Does anyone knows a quick and very dirty way to get rid of sync all together? I searched the Mozilla Forum, but found no clean Linux-solution, without me having to log in to every account and run about:config. I was thinking like adding something to prefs.js I cannot believe Firefox included this

Hello All, I'm trying to set defaults for gnome-screensaver on some Centos6.5 laptops and lock it down with these commands: # gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled true # gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean --set

And when timing the

Dear All, when looking at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories I notice that adobe-Linux repo is no longer listed.

I have some suggested tweaks and changes to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 1. The user should be instructed to start rescue mode with networking in order to be able to retrieve the patch for mkinitrd. 2. The command to create /etc/mdadm.conf will result in an extra line "spares=1" while the array is still syncing. Adding " | head -1 " to the

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the

Dear All, how can I create a Firefox log? My actual problem is this: I have 17 stations connecting to a Drupal database, that I don't have admin access to.
