Hi all I am a newcomer of this ML. And I installed CentOS a couple of hours ago on my i386 box because it is said that CentOS is a community based binary distro of RHEL. Before that I used to use RH9(it is quite out of date for my newly upgraded PC) as my host environment to work on embedded systems. The installation procedure went smoothly and after that everything looked functional, however, I

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 on all my servers, in three different contexts : 1. simple local server 2. public facing server 3. router/gateway/firewall I'm currently in the process of moving my KISS-style network-scripts-style configurations to something more orthodox based on NetworkManager. Scenarios (1) and (2) caused no problems, but (3) is giving me some headache. Let me

I need a terminal program, such as minicom, which I see is not part of my Strongbolt install of CentOS+BQ loaded on a RaQ 4 system. Does anyone know if a standard rpm for minicom should work or where to get a package that will provide minicom or other terminal program? Or, perhaps there is another terminal program installed in my system that I can look for? -- Robert

I am having trouble sending sysrq commands over USB serial, and I'm not sure what else to check. I have two identical machines, each with usb-to-serial adapters, joined by a null modem adapter. One runs an agetty, the other minicom. I can log in over the agetty as a user and it works as expected, until I try to send a sysrq. To send a break in minicom, I type [Ctrl]+[a] then [f]. Then I

hi ppl, well, here is another standard buffer overrun vulnerability, which may sometimes lead to root compromise (not always. not in new distributions, fortunately). Current Slackware and current RedHat don''t install minicom suid root, only sgid/uucp, which is not *that* dangerous. But when you build minicom from source, it asks you to do "chmod +s" on it. Summary:

I'm trying to capture text data coming in on serial port to put into a plot on a web page. Running minicom 2.3 on a Fedora 9 box the capture file is updated immediately. Running minicom 2.1, stock on a Centos 5.x box the capture file doesn't update until you exit capture mode. Is there any way to have it update immediately or is there an alternative application to write incoming data to a

Hi, On a regular FC4 machine there are 76 device file for /dev/ttyS*. I tried running minicom on a Xen machine (domain 0) whose serial port is connected to a different machine (a machine with no VGA/Keyboard/Mouse). It gave the following error: minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults Device /dev/ttyS1 access failed: No such file or directory. So I checked, and ls

I have to reinit a firewall that can only be done from its console port, and I do not have an XP system with Hyperterminal on it. So I went through the archive and learned that minicom could do the job for me. I installed it and went to configure it (minicom -s). I can set the speeds, but the challenge is selecting the serial device. I have a Serial-to-USB dongle, and when I connect it,

I've got USB->Serial converter: Code: Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC and I need communicate with this converter to devices(Kirk) via specific Kirk windows software. I have mapped converter: Code: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com1 but I can't connect to it. If I connect the Kirk device directly through mapped /dev/ttyS0, the device get connected. Any

hello folks! here's my situation: i've got two WTI RPB+ remote power switches (essentially a 5-port power strip which you can control via serial interface to make each of the ports switch on and off independently). they work fine; i plug a DB-9 cable into the back of my machine, fire up minicom, and i have full control. however, my eventual plan is to use these as fencing

Hi all I have a problem switch in our data centre, which is connected to a linux server via a serial cable. I know I can / could access the switch from my Windows PC back at the office, using hyperterm, but trying to access it using minicom just doesn't seem to work. I have changed the comms in minincom to use /dev/tty0 & the baud rate to 9600, yet I can't seem to connect with

Hello, ? I'm trying to configure my system such that I have a TCP port listening which will send all data it receives to a serial port. ie:?? tcp/2112? -->? /dev/ttyS0 My goal would be to be able to: Use netcat to create the listen and redirect to a serial port: ? $ nc -l 2112 > /dev/ttyS0 Then in another window, run minicom at /dev/ttyS0 Then in a 3rd window, ? $ telnet localhost

I'm trying to make my little Asus eeePC 901 into a useful navigation tool that I can use on my boat. I'm running Ubuntu with the 2.6.24-21-eeepc kernel. For chart plotting I run SeaClear_2 (SC) under Wine. SC communicates as it should with my GPS via a Keyspan USB to serial dongle, both sending and receiving works with this device. I am also running the small app AISMon under Wine. This

Hello, I have a Soekris net4501, which I'm PXE booting using pxelinux. Everything seems to be working splendidly, except for the fact that I can't seem to make pxelinux understand use the net4501's serial console port correctly. The net4501 uses the serial console as its primary interface; I'm using a null modem cable and minicom to operate with it. At boot, its startup

After a split of libtinfo from libncurses in openSuSE Factory the tools will not link anymore. In the URL below it was suggested to use ''ncurses-config --libs'' to find the correct linker options. But ncurses-config does not exist neither in SLES11 nor in openSuSE. So check for both ncurses5-config and ncurses-config, if the latter happens to exist in other environments. With
