HPLIP
by Robert 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

First, has anyone successfully installed the HPLIP driver from HP in CentOS4? Second, does that driver really provide the toolbox which includes handy stuff like ink level monitoring? I got the source RPM (hplip-0.9.4-1.1.src.rpm) from an FC4 testing mirror, which rebuilt fine on this machine: . . . + umask 022 + cd /home/rj/rpmbuild/BUILD + cd hplip-0.9.4 + rm -rf /home/rj/rpmbuild/tmp/hplip-0.9.4-buildroot + exit 0 Executing(--clean): /bin/sh -e /home/rj/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.54540 + umask 022 + cd /home/rj/rpmbuild/BUILD + rm -rf hplip-0.9.4 + exit 0 [rj@mavis ~]$ su Password: but would not install. [root@mavis rpmbuild]# rpm -ivh ./RPMS/i386/hplip-0.9.4-1.1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: system-config-printer < 0.6.131.3 conflicts with hplip-0.9.4-1.1.i386 hpijs < 1:0.9.4-1.1 conflicts with hplip-0.9.4-1.1.i386 The conflict with hpijs is a no-brainer -- remove it because hplip is a replacement. But what about system-config-printer? I'm not too keen on dropping back to manually setting up printers. Any advice is welcome.

Why are dots in username & groupname no longer allowed?
by Remco Barendse 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

For some strange reason I am no longer able to create groupnames or usernames (with useradd and groupadd) that contain a dot. Uptill now it was possible to create user&groupnames like c.smith but now I get these errors: [root@server etc]# useradd c.smith useradd: invalid user name 'c.smith' [root@server1 etc]# groupadd c.smith groupadd: c.smith is a not a valid group name Anything without a dot works without problems. The box is a (fully updated) CentOS 3.6 x86_64 box with Dual Opteron cpu. Thanks for any hints!

DNS maybe problems
by Robert Moskowitz 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

I am setting up a new DNS server. It will be primary for my domain. This server is in an active subnet with a real public address. It is not setup yet properly in .com, but that is in the works. In the var/named/chroot/etc I added: named.custom (which I 'included' in named.conf) and my various zone files. All the log entries look good. Oh in /etc/resolv.conf, I added my system as one of the namewervers. When I go into nslookup and type any host name I get the error: ** server can't find foo:NXDOMAIN where foo is whatever I typed in. so what else did I forget to change?

CMS centos3
by Dave 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Anyone using or recomend a content management system that will install without out a lot of mucky muck on a Centos3 system? I looked at Zope but it needs a newer Python, Midgaard looks likes it's geared towards RHEL4. OpenCMS looks like it runs on java so that might work. I have yet to look at Rubyrails and Django.

selinux "strict" policy for Centos-4
by Jesse 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Is anyone using the "strict" policy with Centos-4? If so which RPM are you using and where did you get it? I have searched a little and haven't been able to find it. Redhat site states that it's "not supported, but will be availble for download" I didn't see it in any of the extra/addon repos either. Thanks, --jesse

Opteron, Athlon/64, and disaster recovery
by Benjamin Smith 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Has anybody here taken a HDD configured with an Opteron system, and then put it into an Athlon/64 and had it work? Are they interchangeable, like an Athlon/32 and a P3/P4? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978

by Erick Perez 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, I use putty in my windows xp machine. ssh server in a centos 4. The centos 4 machine runs a web server that listens on port 1812, the centos machine is behind a firewall that allows tcp 22 connections only. I am on public internet. Can I forward/redirect/allow my web browser in windows to "see" the web page in port 1812 of the centos machine via the SSH connection?

modem for dial IN
by Tom Brown 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi Not entirely centos related but that what the boxes are running so here i go ;) 2 of our centos boxes run nagios for network monitoring and send email and paging alerts and are connected to standard phone lines using modems to send the pages. I'm looking for a way in the event of provider failure to login to these machines and so am looking at the ability to connect to the console over the modem. Any good how-to's on this ? Also interested to know real life seciruty risks etc. Is it possible to limit phone numbers that are abor to connect etc? thanks
