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

Hi Is there an option in the spec that i can say on remove do X - eg move a backup file back into place etc? eg %onremove mv foo bar thanks

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.

OK, so I did an upgrade to PHP 5.3 on one of my servers. I noticed the uninstall of php also removed SquirrelMail and it won't install under PHP 5.3. Has anybody worked this out with a good RPM or repo solution? -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

Situation: We are providing hosting services. I've grown tired of the various kiddie scripts/dictionary attacks on various services. The latest has been against vsftpd, on systems that I can't easily control vs. putting strict limits on ssh. We simply have too many users entering from too many networks many with dynamic IP addresses. Enter.... thinking about LIDS or Log Based

I've been seeing some random Proliant DL380 G4 64bit crashes. Each time, on the console are messages relating tojbd2/cciss and something about a waitfor 120 seconds. Is anybody else seeing anything like this? Oddly, I can't seem to find this in the logs. I guess it can't write when this happens. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online

I'm running bind in a chroot environment. It seems that since the Redhat snafu which wrecked bind (yes, I had caching nameserver running as well but not anymore) I have been having problem with my slave nameservers retrieving updates from the master. Looking at the zone records, some are owned by root, some are owned by named. I'm now confused as to what the ownership should be and

OK, so does anybody have a good firewall rule solution for what we're supposed to be doing with bind these days? Obviously port 53 is no longer enough. TIA John Hinton
