i have CentOS 4.5 with OpenLDAP 2.2.13. OpenLDAP contains users with SSHA-ed and CRYPT-ed passwords. the one and ugly thing is that users with CRYPT-ed passwords cannot bind to this LDAP server. however users with SSHA passwords do can. is there any solution without recompiling anyhting? -- Be Secure, Stay Open - live w/ OpenBSD

Asus EEE Pc
by Karanbir Singh 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

hi, Just wondering if anyone had the EEE Pc and if they had attempted a CentOS5 install on there as yet. I guess most of the things should just work, the wifi should also be supported. But it would be good to find out if someone had attempted this yet. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

The problem is that the group is small because everybody who asks about it does not know where to go and make herself useful, and do not participate. As long as people cannot feel part of something and can become effective in a short time, you loose momentum. I have been asked more than 3 times at events about s390 support and I forward people to the centos-devel mailinglist. There is no information on the wiki, or almost not satisfying information on the mailinglist. People If there was an s390 SIG with a TODO list, planning, person to contact, people would be more interested to help out or get involved. The fact there is no such thing makes people think there is no interest, no progress, nothing. People are less likely to help if they are the first to take up responsibility. Being part of a group helps. Sharing information helps. So where does one go for s390 development ? What can people do to help the Sparc effort (what has already been done) ? How far is the PPC effort ? At least a well-owned SIG brings information and people together. Maybe even do status reports and drive meetings. A SIG of course does not guarantee all of that, but if people take ownership it does not come down to you, Johnny or Pasi. I think it is important to not depend on the already hard working people. > And, I completely disagree with Dag on creating SIG's for core distro arch > work.

A chicken-egg problem to me. As long as you don't give away ownership, you don't gain people. If you don't gain people, you cannot give away ownership. How it works now, does not scale very well imo. Any solution is welcomed. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

HTTP installation method and RELEASE-NOTES file
by Ray Van Dolson 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all; ran this question by the anaconda list, and perhaps this is a CentOS specific issue. In any case, maybe someone here can clarify... I notice if I boot CentOS 5 with the askmethod param and choose HTTP and point to my CentOS directory which is just a copy of all the files from the CD's, it errors out, and I am forced to revert to the CD method. The error I see on the console and in my webserver logs indicate that anaconda is trying to look for the following files: RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8 RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US Where the only files on the CD's are RELEASE-NOTES-en.html and RELEASE-NOTES-en. The anaconda folks seem to think that CentOS should be using the full en_US variant: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2007-November/msg00130.… I don't see a mantis bug on this issue -- has anyone else run into it? Am I just doing something dumb here? Ray

content / role overlap for the -docs and potential translators lists
by Karanbir Singh 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

hi guys, Just wondering what people think about creating another list for centos-translators and regularly requesting membership there from other sources ( like posting something on the wiki / website / other lists etc ) ? The one issue that I can see is that there will be loads of overlap in interest with the centos-docs list that already has most of the people doing the translation work, and if people want to help with the wiki translation as well - perhaps the -docs list is the best place for the translators a well ? Just thinking out loud at the moment, opinions welcome! -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq
