Hello folks, I'm about to install Centos on a new server and this will be my first "exposure" if you will to Centos. I come from an RH/Fedora background. Anyway, is there a list somewhere that will tell me what UPS batteries are compatible with Centos 4 (brand/model)? I figured before I go out and buy something I better check to see what's supported. Thanks.

I installed CentOS 5 on a server today (wiping clean the drive which had 4.4 on it). During installation I picked the correct timezone, location and all. Yet, upon booting the machine, it seems to think that it's 6 hours earlier than it really is. The BIOS has the correct time and date on it. /etc/locatime was originally what /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver would've

I just installed CentOS 4 on a new server and now I'm looking for updates that have been released. I like to keep a local mirror of all the updates so I can apply them to other machines easier/faster (this of course assuming I end up installing CentOS on more servers.) So, where are those updates mirrored? With RH/FC, I can hit any mirror and rsync the updates folders. Is there an

Hi folks, After some more trial and error, I was able to get a bit further in the game with the permission issues I had (previous message was titled 'Samba permissions...) Now I'm able to get onto the system, browse and read/copy/delete files off of the shares. What I can't do is put stuff on because I get a locking error. The setup is as follows: Server 1 -->

Anyone know where I can get a 'netmask' rpm for CentOS? I have it on my Fedora systems (it's in extras) but can't find it in CentOS' extras.

Where can I find a list of supported USB printers for Centos5? We're looking to add a printer to our system that can print out a full 8.5x11 sheet that has a peel off label on it. So I need something supported, and I need to figure out what to use to spit this stuff out. The data is coming in as a PDF file... -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature.

Hi Ashley, yes, try the newhidups driver. It should work. If there are problems, we can improve the driver. -- Peter P.S. please keep the mailing list cc'd. Ashley M. Kirchner wrote: > > Eric S.

Hi Ashley, I don't think I have an answer for you, but I had a similar experience. We had a 2000 server set up that was sharing files to macs. I decided to rsync back it up to a more normal environment(*nix). I had all kinds of problems. I tried mounting the share via smb as you are trying. I tried cygwin/rsync on the 2000 machine, still had problems, though I think they were fewer,

The setup: File Server with Windows 2000 Server: shares multiple drives to a large network consisting of both Macs and PCs. Macs run OS9 and OSX.

Hi folks, I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all updates. What's the easiest, or perhaps best way to upgrade it to 5.1, with minimal down time? The downtime is critical, so I need to have it be a short as possible. I can live with an hour or two, but larger is going to be a pain. Suggestions? -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented

Hi Folks. I'm trying to setup Samba and having a bit of a problem... However, I'm not sure if it's a Samba issue, or NFS issue. The setup is as follows: Server 1 --> exports /storage/ftpusers In that folder, there are numerous user folders that are owned by each specific user. Server 2 --> nfs mounts server1:/storage/ftpusers as /mnt/ftpusers At the

I have a machine that's been configured as follows using its BIOS tools: SATA-0 is a 160 GiB drive used as boot SATA-1 and SATA-2 are both 500 GiB drives and were configured as a RAID-1 in BIOS. When the system boots up, BIOS reports 1 160 GiB SATA drive, and 1 Logical volume as RAID-1 ID#0 500 GiB, which is what I would expect it to report, as the two drives are now raided

Dear Ashley, I have no personal experience with the Tower-Rack series, but someone reported on the Nut-upsuser mailing list on 29 Nov 2005 that these models work with the "belkin" driver of the NUT software (http://www.networkupstools.org/). This is for the serial port. For USB, the NUT "newhidups" driver should work (or if it does not, we can fix it). The software that

I have a Win2K Server that acts as a file server to a bunch of Macintosh machines on the network. Today I installed samba-3.0.5 on a Fedora1 machine, and mounted one of the server shares and tried to read it. Much to my surprise, I found files that are being listed like this: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 13 16:30 Icon?* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25649 Aug 23 2000 webslide151.gif*

Here are some more messages that pop in the server logs when I try to read folders on a Win2K file server - the folders/files were saved from a Macintosh on the network: smb_proc_readdir_long: name=\Font Library\B\Bernhard BoldCond. et al?\*, result=-2, rcls=1, err=123 smb_proc_readdir_long: name=\Font Library\K\Kino, et al?\*, result=-2, rcls=1, err=123 smb_proc_readdir_long: name=\Font

I'm in the process of upgrading an old server which is running uw-imap to a new one running Dovecot. With the old machine, unfortunately, my users had the opportunity to store their e-mails in various locations. For example, some have their mail boxes stored in ~/mail/[various mbox files], others ALSO have a ~/mail/clients/[various mbox files] and yet others simply stored them in their

Hi folks. I'm posting this to both the Fedora as well as the CentOS lists in hopes that somewhere, someone can help me figure out what's going on. I have a dual Xeon 3GHz server that's performing rather slow when it comes to disk activities. The machine is configured with a single 160 GiB OS drive (with CentOS 5.0) and 4x500 GiB drives setup in a RAID-5 configuration.

Dear Concerns, I have backup script which TAR the data, makes one copy on local hardisk and then FTP to another machine. Last few days i m facing problem with it. The cron job only makes the copy automatically on local disk but doesnot automatically FTP to another machine. I ran the script manually, the script runs successfully. For trouble shooting i displayed the output in some file and shown
