CentOS-3 errata - updated samba packages fix vulnerabilities
by Lance Davis 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

There are updated samba packages for CentOS 3.3 (and added to 3.1) https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-467.html refers Updated files are :- samba-3.0.7-1.3E.i386.rpm samba-client-3.0.7-1.3E.i386.rpm samba-common-3.0.7-1.3E.i386.rpm samba-swat-3.0.7-1.3E.i386.rpm samba-3.0.7-1.3E.i386.rpm all in updates/i386/RPMS/ These are available at http://mirror.centos.org/3.1/ and should be on all mirrors within a few hours. To update to the latest version 'yum update samba' should be sufficient.

CPAN problems?
by Ulrik S. Kofod 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Sorry if this is off topic, but the cpan mail list seems quite ded, and I was wondering if any of you have had the same problem. when ever I do a perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::CPAN" I get this error: ---------------------------------- Net::Telnet is up to date. Net::Cmd is up to date. Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::libnet had installation problems: Data::Dumper Term::ReadKey is up to date. Term::ReadLine::Perl is up to date. CPAN is up to date. Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::CPAN had installation problems: Digest::MD5 Bundle::libnet and the following items had problems during recursive bundle calls: Data::Dumper ---------------------------------- I have done it on my redhat9 and centos-3.3 box and both gave same error? Anybody out there have a solution ? brgds Ulrik

network card / kudzu
by Ulrik S. Kofod 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

When I have installed centOS, Kudzu says my network cards have been removed, and right after it finds them again and asks me to configure them? It looks like it is the same thing it finds that it just said was removed. There are 3 Relatek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ cards in there and it is all of them it will remove and reconfigure. It doesn't matter if I select ignore or reconfigure them, they still work after the reboot. It is just a little strange and seems a little buggy ;) brgds Ulrik

Re: did I write that nVIDIA cards never work?
by Rick Graves 23 Sep '04

Denis, You wrote: > You may have problems on your side...but you can't generalise and say that it does not work. Maybe you have me confused with someone else. I did not write or imply that nVIDIA cards never work. Rather, I wrote that they may not work. By this, I meant that they do not work with some monitors. I checked what I wrote, and I believe the above paragraph is correct. If you disagree with me and stand by your statement, please refer me to the sentence(s) that I wrote that back you up. In addition to me, two people have written to the group recently about the nVIDIA problem. They can vouch for the fact that there is sometimes a problem. I agree that nVIDIA cards work for many people (including for me, which I also wrote). But the fact that they work for many people does not solve the problem when one does not work with a specific monitor. This topic is near and dear to my heart, as I first encountered the problem when I was trying to install CentOS on machine with an nVIDIA card and using a monitor with which nVIDIA cards do not work (my Mag DX1495). At the beginning, I did not know that the card was the problem, I only knew that the screen went blank toward the end of the install. In addition to trying to solve the problem by tweeking the XF86Config file (boy, was that futile!), it literally took me hours of parts swapping, distribution swapping, and OS swapping (trying Windows too), to finally figure out that the nVIDIA card was the problem. (Some might say that the card/monitor combination was the problem, but Windows has no problem with the combination.) Maybe my frustration with nVIDIA cards shows, and as a result, my emails on this topic are easily misinterpreted. Rick > Message: 8 > Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 20:38:24 -0400 > From: "Denis E.

Re: nVIDIA on Linux -- less is more
by Rick Graves 23 Sep '04

Christopher, I have a couple of other points. My recent email with the subject "nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3" was specifically in response to Kevin Wood's Fri, 17 Sep 2004 email with the subject "Does the nvidia graphic card problem still exist with CentOS-3.3?". The wording of my email came out wrong because I was responding to Kevin's email (which I copy below, along with my response on Sunday). As you can see from Kevin's email, he had problems with nVIDIA cards, and he was wondering whether CentOS 3.3 would resolve them. So I was writing to let him know the answer (No!). I looked up the prior discussion of nVIDIA cards in the mail digest. For the record, they are available here: http://www.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/ CentOS digest, Vol 1 #65 - 3 msgs Fri, 18 Jun 2004 CentOS digest, Vol 1 #66 - 7 msgs Sat, 19 Jun 2004 CentOS digest, Vol 1 #67 - 3 msgs Mon, 21 Jun 2004 Rick Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 05:02:17 -0700 (PDT) From: "Rick Graves" <gravesricharde(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Re: nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3 To: centos(a)caosity.org Kevin, > Will the same problems exist with CentOS-3.3 > that existed in CentOS-3.1 regarding the nvidia > graphics cards. I can try it later this week (assuming that CentOS-3.3 is fully ready to go by then). At the office, I have all the components of my "hardware combination from hell," and it would be easy to get them all onto the test bench.

Web & Mail
by Beth Curotto 22 Sep '04

I have just set up a box - HOSTNAME mail.abni.com It has Qmail setup. I also want this box to serve as the host for our website - abni.com Can someone point me in the direction of where to go next. I am unsure if HOSTNAME will be a problem as a web server. Currently I have loaded a html doc in - /var/www/html, but I had to load from cd directly on this machine. Is is neccessary to setup ftp to be able to upload html from remote system? Don't know if this is important at this point - but this system is NAT'd to an internal ip. Heck of a 1st Linux project, huh. That's for all the advice. Beth

RE:[Centos] nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3
by kevin 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Thank you for the answer to my question, it is much appreciated. Although there are solutions to the problem as other people point out. I don't see the point in using a graphics card which works with drivers that have to be rebuilt everytime the kernel is updated. I've been there and done it, it is unnecessary in 2004. Kevin Wood. Hey, This was exactly the situation under CentOS 3.1. Moral of the nVIDIA story: if the monitor/display card/motherboard combination works for you, great. If not, using a display card from a different manufacturer may be the best solution. IMHO. Rick

Re: [Centos] nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3
by Rick Graves 22 Sep '04

Christopher, The wording of my email came out wrong. I did not intend to cast aspersions on CentOS. I wrote to the CentOS and/or cAos mailing lists some months ago on this topic, and I also put up an FAQ on the problem (which you can find in the FAQ's under Installation). In my mind, my message yesterday was in the context of my prior emails and the FAQ. Back then, I went through hours of trial and error tests, and I found exactly the same problem with exactly the same hardware when I was running Fedora 1 (and perhaps Debian as well -- on Debian, I am not sure, but I am 100% sure about Fedora). So I concluded then that this is not a CentOS or cAos problem, but at least a RedHat problem and maybe a Linux problem. > First of all, I'd be interested to see where your > conclusion that your monitor doesn't work with an > nVidia card in linux came from -- what > exactly did you experience/test to come to this > statement? I believe my prior email answers your question in detail.
