CentOS-2 Updated kdelibs packages resolve URI security issues
by John Newbigin 17 May '04

17 May '04

kdelibs-2.2.2-11 has been built and uploaded to the centos mirror. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-222.html for details. I'll try and get something in place for publishing a pretty looking errata message. Is there anything like that for centos-3?

CentOS-2 Final finally released
by John Newbigin 14 May '04

14 May '04

At long last I have uploaded CentOS-2 Final to the centos mirrors :) Some information on CentOS-2 is available here http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/centos-2/index.htm as well as the caos web site. Surely no one will find any bugs or problems, but if you do, email is better for me ATM than IRC.

New CentOS contrib packages and 3rd party repos
by Lance Davis 13 May '04

13 May '04

A number of new packages are now in the contrib repository including cluster manager, courier-imap, maildrop and piranha - amongst others - thanks to bilbo for these. (we are still waiting for some of the src.rpms) There are also kernels for i586 in the contrib section. contrib packages are supplied by third parties, not (necessarily) tested by CentOS developers and not GPG signed by Centos. contrib is available at http://mirror.centos.org/3.1/contrib and should be on all mirrors. There is also a 3rd party yum repository for CentOS-3 at http://people.best-off.org/~rhel-devel/centos-3/ with lots of perl nodules amongst other stuff. The link above provides details of how to configure yum.conf to use the repo. Dag Wieers also provides a repository of rpms for Rhel3 that will (mostly) work with CentOS - http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/ If you do come across any there that dont work properly then please let either Dag or us know. You can add Dag's repository to your yum.conf by adding :- [dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el3/en/$basearch/dag We welcome 3rd party repositories as being a good way of finding additional software for CentOS, however the CentOS developers do not test the packages and cannot provide support for them. We will list 3rd party repositories on the CentOS website and also mirror them where practical/legal . Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

I used mc-4.6.0-9.i386.rpm and it worked fine, but I wanted to know why rpm --rebuild didn't work. As for Tom's advice I don't have /etc/popt . Guess I need to create one Best Regards Cooba > I used the following link > ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/redhat/updates/9/en/os/i386/mc-4.6.0-7.9.i386.rp > m which is running fine on my system.

I've tried to install midnight commander on centos3.1 final. No luck in installing it via yum install. When I download src.rpm from centos2 updates SRPMS I couldn't rebuild it. RPM --rebuild mc*.src.rpm didn't work (no rebuild option). What can I do then ? Best Regards Cooba

Samba + CUPS error
by Kelvin Param 11 May '04

11 May '04

Hello. I've been trying to set CentOS 3.1 as a print server for PC running NT4 using Samba + CUPS. I've successfully done this with Fedora Core 1 but have encountered the following error after running cupsaddsmb in CentOS 3.1: WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME. This error also occurs with FC1, but is solved by restarting the smb service i.e. service smb restart. Run cupsaddsmb again after restarting smb and, cupsaddsmb will succeed. However, restarting the smb service does not solve the problem with CentOS 3.1. Here's the relevant excerpt of my /etc/samba/smb.conf file (which works in FC1): [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = SOMEGROUP # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba Server # This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict # connections to machines which are on your local network. The # following example restricts access to two C class networks and # the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see # the smb.conf man page ; hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. # if you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this printcap name = cups load printers = yes # It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless # yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx printing = cups # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to # specifically define each individual printer [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes printer admin = root [print$] comment = Print Drivers path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes write list = root I'd appreciate a solution, tips, pointers, etc. Thanks in advance.
