Apache not liking directories outside of /var/www
by Boris Epstein 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, It appears that on my nice little CentOS 5.3 machines Apache only allows me to store content in directories which are under /var/www/ For instance, putting content in /var/www/test and defining the following alias: Alias /test /var/www/test then accessing it under http://hostname/test works great. Not copy that same content to /home/test, change the alias to: Alias /test /home/test and you get Error 403. Any idea why that would be? Never had this sort of trouble anywhere, including under CentOS 5.0 and 5.1 Thanks in advance for any and all help. Boris.

Certificate system
by J.Witvliet＠MINDEF.NL 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi all, Can anybody inform me wether the "RedHat Certificate System" or actually a CentOS equivalent is available for CentOS. Just skimmed on a download site through the RPM's for 5.3 and I couldn't find it. According to their pressrelease, it the code should be gpl, allthough I can't find any rpm for RH, FC or Centos. It seems that this is one of the few CA-packages for large scale deployment of certificates. Only alternative AFAIK is OpenCA, which seems to be hardly maintained... ( binaries on their site are old, and source code yields lots of errors during build..) Defensie/CDC/IVENT/Research en Innovation Centrum Ing J.

BIND vulnerability
by Kenneth Porter 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Slashdot carried this story yesterday on a BIND vulnerability: <http://it.slashdot.org/story/09/07/29/0028231/New-DoS-Vulnerability-In-All-…> The upstream report: <https://www.isc.org/node/474> Red Hat's Bugzilla: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514292> >From what I'm reading, if one has an Internet-facing master for a zone, one is vulnerable, even if dynamic DNS isn't being used.

Open Letter to Lance Davis
by R P Herrold 06 Aug '09

I seem to be having network and email issues tonight; please excuse any duplication -- Russ herrold -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HTML dump on Thu Jul 30 00:30:33 EDT 2009 http://www.centos.org/ Open Letter to Lance Davis July 30, 2009 04:39 UTC This is an Open Letter to Lance Davis from fellow CentOS Developers It is regrettable that we are forced to send this letter but we are left with no other options. For some time now we have been attempting to resolve these problems: You seem to have crawled into a hole ... and this is not acceptable. You have long promised a statement of CentOS project funds; to this date this has not appeared. You hold sole control of the centos.org domain with no deputy; this is not proper. You have, it seems, sole 'Founders' rights in the IRC channels with no deputy ; this is not proper. When I (Russ) try to call the phone numbers for UK Linux, and for you individually, I get a telco intercept 'Lines are temporarily busy' for the last two weeks. Finally yesterday, a voicemail in your voice picked up, and I left a message urgently requesting a reply. Karanbir also reports calling and leaving messages without your reply. Please do not kill CentOS through your fear of shared management of the project. Clearly the project dies if all the developers walk away. Please contact me, or any other signer of this letter at once, to arrange for the required information to keep the project alive at the 'centos.org' domain.

kvm in Centos 5.3
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi All, Is KVM support in CentOS 5.3 complete? That is, can a CentOS 5.3 system host KVM VMs or does CentOS 5.3 only support being virtualized via KVM? I ask because I installed KVM on a CentOS 5.3 host, but I can't find a kvm module anywhere in /lib/modules/* (let alone the running kernel). Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 17:55:54 up 5 days, 9:22, 5 users, load average: 1.13, 0.47, 0.28

by sam R 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I have very basic question: I have downloaded *CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD* from CentOS website. Now I need to install it on my Acer Laptop permanently not as a liveCD. How do I burn it to a DVD to be able to install it by simply restarting my laptop? Thank you, Sam

Centos convert to rhel?
by Bob Hoffman 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hate to ask, but after reading the last few months of centos history online I am worried. And to learn the lead guy seems to have absconded with the cash and left all the hard working devs high and dry..well that is scary. They all worked so hard and who knows what will happen now. If centos falls I have no choice but to go to redhat. I am wondering if the conversion will be easy or a complete reinstall. I ponder the worries I think we are all faced with here. I think all of us would follow a fork... Whatever they end up calling it. But I am worried about the immediate future for the project. None of those guys deserve what is happening to them and all of us are affected. If anyone lives near Lance, perhaps a good call to the local news station and some you tube stuff may get him to release the project to the team who wants to continue. But an option to go full redhat is one I am now considering.. Discuss?

Re: [CentOS] Open Letter to Lance Davis
by James B. Byrne 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Since 2004 or so, I have donated each year to the CentOS project, at the requested rate, for each of our servers. While I never really gave the matter any thought (fool that I am) I presumed that any organisation that solicited funds would, at a minimum, be incorporated, have a board of directors, duly appointed officers and hold all corporate identity elements such as internet domain names, brand trademarks and such as corporate property. Evidently, my beliefs in this matter were sadly unfounded. Now, I appreciate that whilst somewhat embarrassing, the immediate matter is easily resolved, turning as it does on retention or depreciation of the centos.org domain. Presumably those who donated bandwidth and servers to the CentOS.old project will in the main continue to support the CentOS.new project. Equally, unless some injury that has not yet come to light has been done to them, it seems likely that most of the current maintainers will move their loyalties and future technical contributions to CentOS.new. However, having been bitten once, I feel that I must ask this more formal question. What steps, if any, have been taken to establish the CentOS project as a separate legal entity distinct from any individual contributor? What protections are being put in place to prevent future misappropriations of donations and advertising revenue, even if it turns out that no such thing has as yet happened? Sincerely,
