I have a strange problem on a CentOS-5.8 machine. I can only login as root. If I try to login with one of the user's names, it hangs for a long time. I thought it hung forever, but I just found that I do login after "su tim" after 5 minutes. It seems that the problem lies in repeated messages in /var/log/messages --------------------------- May 3 12:14:13 helen su: nss_ldap: failed

I've been getting a few avahi-daemon errors in /var/log/messages, eg ------------------------------- Jan 11 00:40:24 helen avahi-daemon[12732]: Invalid query packet. Jan 11 00:40:29 helen last message repeated 17 times ------------------------------- (This is

I don't understand Windows permissions under Samba. I am running an smb server under CentOS-5.4, and have a Windows XP Pro machine ("harriet") as a client. I have set up shares C and D on harriet corresponding to the 2 drives C: and D: on the machine, and I have asked that files should be shared. Now when I mount harriet:C I can see the top level folders, but cannot see Documents

For some reason I cannot fathom, cron.hourly runs twice each hour on one of my two CentOS-5.4 systems, as reported in /var/log/cron: ------------------------- Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27833]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27834]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- On the other it just runs once, as expected.

Is one meant to have one or the other? If so, which is recommended? I have -------------------------------- [tim at helen etc]$ cat anacrontab # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details. SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root 1 65 cron.daily run-parts /etc/cron.daily 7 70 cron.weekly

I've just noticed that cron.daily, etc, do not seem to be running on my CentOS-5.4 system. The scripts in /etc/cron.d/ all run fine, but those in /etc/cron.hourly, etc, seem to be ignored. I see that according to /var/log/cron these commands are seen, eg Feb 28 18:01:01 helen crond[6680]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) but none of the scripts in this directory seem to be touched.

The mirrorlist entry in my Fedora-11 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-update.repo reads: mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f$releasever&arch=$basearch As far as I can see, this means that yum is looking for the file metalink at mirrors.fedoraproject.org ? If I try "sudo yum update" I get: ----------------------------------- [tim at elizabeth ~]$

It's not required to run backuppc as user root. I

I'd be interested in any corrections or comments on the following instructions (basically for myself): We assume that BackupPC has been installed: sudo yum install BackupPC 1. BackupPC must be run by the user backuppc. Accordingly the lines User apache Group apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to User backuppc Group backuppc 2. The user backuppc must be able to

My daughter needs to send me a large file. It appears that it is getting through my ISP, but being rejected on my CentOS mail server. The message she's getting says A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error.
