Trying to set up ltsp and their instructions are outdated for this setup. this is what I am referencing... http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/docs/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN984 Anyway, KDM is display manager and I am only getting grey screen with X # ps aux|grep kdm root 4275 0.0 0.0 3036 864 ? Ss Jul01 0:00 /usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon per the instructions... /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it seems like potential security risk: I have a ufs fs mounted rw+nosuid, then I needed to downgrade it to ro, so I executed mount -u -r on it - imagine my surpise when I found that nosuid flag was removed as well. I know I could have used mount -u -r -o nosuid, but the present behavior seems to be non-obvious (update one flag, orthogonal flags dropped

I've just realized that I see in releng/7 something that I did not see in releng/6 - even if I use a file with custom rules in firewall_type I still get default loopback rules installed. I think that this is not correct, I am using custom rules exactly because I want to control *everything* (e.g. all deny rules come with log logamount xxx). -- Andriy Gapon

Hello, what is the right way to disable XFree86 and wdm listening ports tcp 6000 and tcp 1024. I read in man XFree86 about the -nolisten tcp option and tried to set in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp but it was not successful. What is the right way to close the ports without use of IPFW? Your help would be appreciated. Thank?s Wolfgang

Hi all, I have a question on /etc/inittab for DomU booted with xencons parameter. I saw the following error messages when I appended xencons=ttyS to DomU boot option. INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id

Are there any tools to decode encrypted part of isakmp provided that identities of both peers are known to me and that I am able to observe the whole exchange ? -- Andriy Gapon

I have an NFS server and NFS client separated by a firewall. Both servers are FreeBSD 7.1. Server configuration: nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_server_flags="-t -n 4" rpcbind_enable="YES" mountd_flags="-r -p 737" mountd_enable="YES" The firewall allows tcp and udp to port 111, but only tcp to ports 2049 and 737 (configured for mountd, see above).

hi why are tty3-tty6 started after this config change? i would like to have only tty1 finally becasue on a virtual machine there is no need for the other processes since CTRL+ALT+Fx is caught by the own system and remote console mostly not needed at all [root at centos ~]# cat /etc/init/start-ttys.conf # # This service starts the configured number of gettys. start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]

After some poking into psm.c code I've got some results. First, for the archives, debug.psm.loglevel tunable is much more useful than a verbose boot for debugging PS/2 mouse issues. A good value is 2. Second, I fiddled with various probe methods to force them to "recognize" my mouse (by loosening their checks) and found out that the mouse works perfectly if it is treated as

I just installed CentOS 5.1 on a Dell Vostro 200 (Intel G33) which has a Sunix PCI-Express (x1) 8-port RS-232 card installed. For me it looks like only 4 ports are recognized, but I'm not sure if it's even working with those 4. >From 'dmesg' I see this: ... Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 19

I use OpenSSH on a number of machines. If I connect to most of my machines and open a bash shell the first three file descriptors of bash are something like /dev/pts/6. On these machines OpenSSH is as good as a "real" terminal. However, I am putting together an embedded system and I must minimize the size of the installed system. I have OpenSSH working on this system but, when I connect

Hi all, I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows at runlevel by default. I have modified /etc/inittab to accomplish this: x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon But this returns errors every time that start and stop system ... Which is the correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels?? Many

This is a fairly standard and old machine with 2 COM ports. Recently (last Friday) I decided to update my RELENG_7 system and also to transition from sio to uart. This what I had before the upgrade: kernel: sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 kernel: sio0: type 16550A kernel: sio0: [FILTER] kernel: sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port

Try this: /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service Only in your case it would be gdm.service.

Maybe this is already fixed in the newer code, I am still on 5.2.1 and have a problem with traffic that originally goes to a broadcast ip address but then gets encrypted by ipsec and should go into a tunnel but when it is sent it has ethernet broadcast flag. Just to be clear: traffic originates on the same host which is a tunnel endpoint. It looks to me that a fix could be as simple as clearing

I have a semi-theoretical question about the following code in arc.c, arc_reclaim_needed() function: /* * take ''desfree'' extra pages, so we reclaim sooner, rather than later */ extra = desfree; /* * check that we''re out of range of the pageout scanner. It starts to * schedule paging if freemem is less than lotsfree and needfree. * lotsfree is the high-water mark

Now that we have very convenient -C option for fsck, maybe we could use it in fsck_y_enable part of rc.d/fsck? -- Andriy Gapon

I wouldn't report this if not for one coincidence (which is described below). I have too little facts, so this is more of a mystery problem tale than a real problem report. There are two systems: 1. old, slow, i386, UP, 7-STABLE 2. new, fast, amd64, MP, 6.3-RELEASE Systems are located at different physical locations. What is common between them: 1. they both have the same backup strategy
