Hello all, I'm trying to authenticate shell login's against an MS-ADS. I don't have admin access to the ADS, but I can talk to the admins. I have gotten as far as getting authentication working, but the uid's depend on the order of login. ie: the first guy to login gets 10000, the next gets 10001, etc. The problem I have with this is that I want to share the home

This may be off topic, but I think my ethereal question might be simple enough. I am presently compiling ethereal on a CentOS platform to check it out. But the packets I want to monitor are actually on a different CentOS platform, and I'd rather not install Ethereal on it, if for no other reason I don't have X-Windows installed on that platform. My question is, can I monitor/write

I have one box, a 3.x box, that has a problem finding procmailrc files. For instance, if I have a .procmailrc file in /var/www/user/homes/username it finds it and it works. If I have a .procmailrc file under /var/www/user it doesn't. Where the heck is the setting for where procmail looks for user procmailrc files? Thanks, John Hinton

Centos 5 Hello I successfully converted my mta from sendmail to postfix. no problem. mail is ok. A by-product of that, as bizarre as it may seem is this: As regular user, when I do 'su -' to become root, all is well. As regular user, when I do 'sudo bash' I become root alright but I also get: sendmail: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or

Is there an easy way to specify the proper device location for the kickstart configuration file if it is on a USB flash or USB floppy drive? Depending on the hard disk configuration they might by /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. On SuSE'autoyast instalattions, the system searches all available devices for an ``info'' configuration file. Does CentOS 5.x do something similar to find a

I have a 64bit centos 5.2 system. My router supports sending logs to a syslog server, so I was hoping to send them to my centos box so they are easier to keep an eye on. I've been googling for howto's etc, but I didn't think syslog would be that difficult. Do I need to use syslog-ng or can I use the syslog that's installed with centos 5.2? Any suggestions or guidance? Thanks,

Using a kickstart file that stops with a curses dialog "You have multiple network devices on this system. Which one do you want to install through?" The machine being configured with PXEboot has two ethernet interfaces. What's missing from the network entries below? I'd like this install to proceed without asking which ethernet interface. PXE begins the install with DHCP, so

Does anyone know how a program, script or shell user can best determine whether the machine is running on bare metal or is a VMware guest? Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony at softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony at mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org

Is there a way to get mail from a MS Exchange server that is addressed as user at host.domain.com rather than the user at domain.com so that users on host.domain.com can read their mail on that host (CentOS). (I'm assuming that Exchange needs to know about host.domain.com, somehow.) Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life

Hi, Is it true you can run Ethernet over USB between 2 machines? I have 2 machines running CentOS 5.0 and a simple type A male to A male cable. I don't see in the network setup gui how to set it up. Is there a particular device I should select? What I see relating to USB is: KL4USB101 USB Ethernet driver Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver USB CDC Ethernet driver

I lost my internet connection earlier today. My home network was still up - it's just the router couldn't get an IP from the cable modem. During that period, my CentOS 5.1 install was extremely slow (2.6 GHz Athlon w/ 2GB ram) at starting non network applications - such as solitare and gnome terminal. It would pause for several seconds before finally starting them. The machine does

I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files. 1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works. clearpart --all --initlabel part raid.01 --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --onpart=sda1 --size=20000 part swap --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap"

Environment: - CentOS 5.1, - Apache 2.2.3 - php 5.1.6 - phpMyAdmin 2.11.6 - MySQL 5.0.22 Brand new system, brand new installation of all the above products.

I have a VPS running C7. I ran a 'yum update' which included a kernel update. The yum update wasn't a total success because mariadb updates failed. However everything else appeared to work. However, when I rebooted the server it did not restart. I have managed to get the ISP's support desk to boot the server by selecting the previous kernel, and I now have access to my box again.

Hi I am trying to package a bunch of files so that i can deploy them with rpm - Its prtty much just a case of dumping some files on the filesystem. I achieve this with rpm without issue however when i remove the rpm from the system it also removes the dir that contains the files, even though i dont specify this in the %postun. Is there a way to tell rpm to NOT remove files/dir's that it

Hi, I was just wondering whether this possible bug with the Sernet Samba3 RPMs for CentOS 5 is known, since it has not yet been fixed. When uninstalling the Sernet RPMs for Samba3 (in this case Samba 3.2.x) the %postun scriptlet fails every time with: # rpm -e samba3-3.2.0-36 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56356: line 2: fg: no job control error: %postun(samba3-3.2.0-36.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status
