Re: [CentOS] sieveshell fails to start on CentOS 6.0

Try specifying both --user and --authname as appropriate. sieveshell can be misleading in its error messages, and you may actually have an authentication error rather than a connection error there. You could run it under strace to make sure. Devin

IE 9 not sending digest auth info
by Paul Heinlein 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

I migrated our internal wiki server last week, and some IE users aren't able to authenticate. The service is hosted by Apache using Digest authentication. It migrated from Apache 2.2.9 (Debian 5) to Apache 2.2.15 (CentOS 6). The internal hostname for the wiki server is a DNS CNAME that was repointed from one host to another during the cutover. In a normal session, 1. Client sends GET 2. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 3. Client sends GET with Authorization header 4. Server sends 200 with Authentication-Info header and page content When using IE 9 (and possibly 8, I'm still trying to track that down), 1. Client sends GET 2. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 3. Client resends GET (*without* Authorization header) 4. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 5. Etc. IE seems to be ignoring 401 and/or the WWW-Authenticate headers. Using Chrome on Windows works fine; the issues are specific to IE. Any ideas? My google-fu has failed me. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein(a)madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/

CentOS4 desktop has stopped recognizing removable media - haldaemon problem?
by Bart Schaefer 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

USB sticks and cameras used to pop right up on my desktop. Now they don't. I've checked the Gnome "Drives and Media Preferences" and nothing has changed -- I have "Mount removable media when inserted" etc. (Tried toggling it off and back on, no effect.) I've logged out and back in, even rebooted. /var/log/messages shows the devices are being recognized by udev: Jun 27 19:53:37 torch kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sde at scsi11, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Jun 27 19:53:37 torch scsi.agent[13576]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/host11/target11:0:0/11:0:0:0 Jun 27 19:53:37 torch udevd[1347]: udev done! Jun 27 19:53:47 torch udevd[1347]: udev done! However, that's followed by this: Jun 27 19:54:07 torch hald[5179]: Timed out waiting for hotplug event 699. Rebasing to 699 I restarted hald (service haldaemon restart) and it picked up one of the two devices I'd plugged in, but not the other.

Unable to run yum update
by david 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Folks The system involved is a 32-bit system, installed via the net about a week ago. The command yum update encountered the following diagonstic Error: Package: yaf-1.3.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge) Requires: libfixbuf-0.9.0.so.8()(64bit) Removing: libfixbuf-0.9.0-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge) libfixbuf-0.9.0.so.8()(64bit) Updated By: libfixbuf-1.0.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) Not found You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The repositories I use are: base epel extras rpmforge updates virtualbox I wonder if using priorities would help? Rpmforge is "supposed" to be non-conflicting, but then.... Please let me know what I should do. David

[C6] Some typical apps missing?
by Marko Vojinovic 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hi everyone! :-) I just installed CentOS 6 on one of my desktop machines, and yum now tells me that some of my favorite apps are not present in any of the repositories I configured. To name a few: ktorrent, kile, krusader, pavucontrol, mplayerplug-in (or is it now gecko-mediaplayer), xine, xmms, and so on... All these apps were readily available for C5, and I used them happily. I am mostly surprised with the absence of *any* torrent client, bar the rtorrent (which doesn't have a man page and I have no idea how to use it). Also kile, krusader and pavucontrol are quite basic and common apps... The configured repositories are: base, updates, extras, rpmforge, elrepo, as reported by yum. What am I missing? I would also be grateful if anyone has a suggestion for a reasonable (and available) substitute for any of these apps. I usually prefer KDE4 apps, but will use anything that works. I found some (rtorrent, mozilla-vlc, gnome-volume-control), but I am not exactly thrilled with their quality, so I'm hoping someone has a better suggestion. Google didn't want to be my friend this time, all hits were related to C5... ;-) TIA, :-) Marko

VLAN support?
by Les Mikesell 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Are there any new tools in CentOS 6 to configure VLAN interfaces (where the switch passes multiple tagged VLANs over one physical link to the host) or is it best to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth?.vlan# files manually? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Not receiving root mail
by Anne Wilson 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Although I have the alias defined in /etc/aliases and /etc/postfix/aliases, I'm not receiving root mail. Following the previous thread about unreceived logwatch mail, I tested with a manual run of logwatch, and found that my ISP is rejecting the mail because it is seeing an envelope carrying my local address. My suspicion is that the mail is going out via sendmail instead of postfix-sendmail. IIRC there used to be system-switch-mail or a similarly named package. I can't find any such package - and can't remember which file it edited. Can someone please point me to that file? Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Where are the CentOS 6 security updates?
by Lintula 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

The release announcement for CentOS-6.0 posted on CentOS-announce on Sun Jul 10 mentioned that: > Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a > Continous Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1 > security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is > released itself. There will be more details about this posted within the > next 48 hours. I have not noticed anything said about this since, and I can't find any security updates. Firefox, for instance, is at 3.6.9. This is about a year old with many known security problems, so it really shouldn't be used. CentOS 5 and RHEL 6 have 3.6.18. Are there still no security updates available for CentOS 6, or have I just managed to completely miss how to access them?

by sylvan.dcunha＠gmail.com 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

dear All, I had a Centos 5.5 OS running for about 6 months used as a Xen VM server prfectly running 3 Virtual machines Its a Sun Blade server with 8 core Xeon Proceesor with 32 GB Ram couple of days back I added another 32 gb ram . The bios shows the added ram that is now it shows me 64 GB but the Centos OS just recognizes 32gb only the OS details are: Centos release 5.5 final Kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen on an x86_64 now also running uname -a shows me Linux hypervisor2 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 18:44:24 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux shows that PAE support is not there I do believe that installing kernel PAE with yum should solve the problem but since the server is a online production server just wanted to verify if I would run into some problems apprecite your kinf help and suggestions regards sylvan
