similar to: Accessing Windows shares - mini HowTo

On the CentOS mailing list and Forums, I occasionally see questions relating to accessing Windows shares. Thought I could share my notes on this subject which I put together on a web page: http://toracat.freeshell.org/centos/HowToAccessWin.html It is a short practical guide. I would appreciate receiving comments and suggestions. Akemi

Evolution (aka JimPerrin - or is this the other way around?) has been working on this excellent wiki article: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection However, the discussion is taking place at his own blog site http://www.bofh-hunter.com/ . Because this is a CentOS wiki article, I just wonder why we cannot do it here. Sure, his blog site may collect a wider audience, but we traditionally

We have CentOS Forums here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/ Akemi Yagi (toracat on IRC) and Fabian Arrotin (arrfab on IRC) are the Forum Moderators. There are a lot of posts there that I find helpful when doing web searches ... but we could use more people answering questions there. Also, we specifically need some people to answer questions concerning Oracle database deployment in the

I've recently documented simple use of a VServer with CentOS host and guest. toracat@ said that it might be worthwhile putting on the wiki. The present article is located at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/vserver.html If it does get to the wiki, I would remove the fedora section and also add a notice at the beginning of the article with dire warnings about using a non-stock kernel.

People at vmware have provided patches for RHEL 5 that aim to fix timekeeping issues in vmware guests. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463573 Description of problem (excerpt) : "In a virtual environment, timekeeping for RHEL 64 bit kernels can be problematic, since time is kept by counting timer interrupts for this kernel. The problem arises when the VM is descheduled for some

Ran into this rather frustrating bug when working with VBOX on a Windows 10 host. It should come as no surprise that I would hit this bug when installing CentOS, and also with RHEL 7 Server with GUI (since you get the same kernel). Based on information from your bug list, I was fortunately able to workaround the trouble with: wget

hi all, latest kmod update 20-15.el7_4.6 is broken on our systems, while previous 20-15.el7_4.4 was working fine (and downgrading fixes the issue). the issue is with modules from mellanox kmod rpms that are symlinked in the weak-updates dir. the config files in /etc/depmod.d look ok (and do work with previous version): dist.conf has weak-updates after built-in, and mellanox kmod rpms ship a

Hello, I'm trying to install CentOS 5.2 on an HP 6730s notebook. All's going well except for one little item -- the networking. Never thought I'd have trouble with an Ethernet adapter, so I didn't even check before buying this machine; it was cheap. The adapter is a Marvell Yukon 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller. I can't find a Linux driver for it except one that

So, just today I noticed a problem with kernel 2.6.18-194 (CentOS 5.5) on several Intel DP965LT systems; the system beeps (such as terminal beeps) are no longer passed through to the external speakers. This is a problem because in our situation the boxes are distant from their monitor/keyboard, the system speaker on this motherboard is extremely weak, and there are no system speaker header pins

Hi, I propose to create an entry in Tips and Tricks - 5. Admin tricks and shell one-liners describing how to disable the user list in the GDM graphical login.

hi Bama since there are other things going on in the container space around centos, I was thinking maybe we can setup a /Container page, and then have a /Container/Registry and a /Container/Pipeline page each. the pipeline page can talk about the service, code and run setup. and the registry page can talk about howto get content in there, what content is already there and urls to the user setup
