After making some adjustments to Samba via the Control Center, the System Settings | Server Settings | Samba (my preferred) no longer will display. Can I fix this or do I need to reinstall Centos 4.4? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the permissions are 775. My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd". Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there is a directory under www (acutally called httpd),

I want to be able to recompile php, so I downloaded the src dvd and did a rpm -i php-4.3.9-3.15.src.rpm After doing that I wanted to check to see if I can recompile it before making changes. So, I went to the SPECS dir and did a rpmbuild -i php.spec It spent a lot of time doing the compile, but at the end there were errors. What am I missing? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext

I have vnc working on my server when I am logged into that server. If I run vncviewer, I have a copy of the Desktop. Hwever, if I SSH into the server, I get an error. Due to my lack of experience, I am not sure what the log file means: http://209.204.172.137/misc/vnc_error.txt Could someone tell me what I am missing?

I tried to update my Centos with yum update as I have done in the past, but this time I received a list of dependencies. This is a new experience for me and I would appreciate any help/suggestions. Here is one of the lines: Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.15 is needed by package php-mysql Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long. I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for /boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf) If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

I have a USB disk and when I turned it on in the past, it's icon would appear on my GUI Desktop. Now it is no longer visible. In terminal mode, if I do a cd to /media/usbdisk, all of my data is there. What am I missing here? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

I want to delete all files that have the pattern of "*.zip" in the directory /home/mydir and all sub-directories. rm -Rf /home/mydir/*.zip produces an error. What did I overlook? Thanks..... -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Sorry to bring this topic up again, but I am confused as to why yum needs an older version and how to resolve the problem. I get this error from yum: Error: Missing Dependency: httpd = 2.0.52-22.ent.centos4 is needed by package httpd-manual Error: Missing Dependency: libgcj = 3.4.5 is needed by package libgcj-devel Since most of this is outside my skill set, I am not sure if "yum

I have not used RAID controller boards to date since I have relied on the built in RAID on the motherboards. Thanks to the informative message Byron, I realize the deficiencies of doing RAID 1 this way, especially now that the builtin is out of date with Kernel used by Centos. I have 4 ATA drives that were configured in two pairs. I assume that I need a 3Wave controller that has 4 ports

Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux (Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is not locked up :-) ) with Samba. What is the best VNC like application to

In an effort to prevent getting many minutes into an installation only to have a CD read fail (I did verify the CD's first), I did a minimal install. Can I use the minimal install to add the necessay packages for a HTTP server and graphical interface? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

I have RH 8 running on a Abit BE7-RAID motherboard. My task is installing Centos 4.1 with limited knowledge on installing with hardware RAID. The arrays are still in place for the two pairs of drives. HighPoint only shows drivers up through RH 9. Is there anyone who can take me through the steps? Remove the existing arrays? Will the drivers work with Centos 4.1? Since I used Windows to

I have an external USB drive that was formatted with NTFS and I want to use it to backup some files from my Centos 5.5 system. When I check my documentation, I am not certain of the best way to do the formatting. Suggestions welcomed.... Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

To synchronize my server with the "standby" server, I run the following: rsync -a -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ As expected, I am asked for a password from the destination computer. Is there a way to avoid that so I can make a crontab to run the rsync nightly? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Thanks to the encouragement of some people on this list, I am using rsync to synchronize two servers: one is a backup to the other in case the primary one fails. By hand, I inserted the names of the users on the primary server into the backup server. So, now all works well. /usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ My question is what would happen if the users were not on the

I have connected a HD that was a prior system drive (Centos 4.8) and I am not sure of the command line procedures to find out if it is recognized (I believe it is since it present in the GUI), delete all data on it and finally add it to the LVM. I would like to use it as a backup data drive. Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

For a long period of time, my Apache root directory has been /home/httpd. For security reasons, this is not so good as SELinux has informed me. Now all of the files have been copied to /var/www/etc with owner and group "root". The privileges are 754 (rwxr-xr--), however apache does not have access to them. Should the owner be apache? Group? Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma,

I use the following command to sync the home directory on the two computers, however I would like not to send the "dot" files e.g. ".ssh". Can that be done, and if so, how would I construct the command line? /usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ Many thanks....
