Hello, I'm looking for some package in Centos which will provide en/decoding of mime formats. I have over 1000 outlook mails to process, and it would be great to script that, but centos 4.4 doesn't have a metamail package and I couldn't find anything connected to decoding and encoding of MIME. Is there any tool in Centos repository ?

Anyone have tora running on CentOS 4.X talking to an Oracle DB?
by Alfred von Campe 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

I was looking for a tool to access an Oracle database (the lack of readline support in SQL*Plus is really annoying) and stumbled across tora. I successfully did a "yum install tora" , but I can not access my Oracle database, as expected after reading the following in the RPM description: Tora ("Toolkit for Oracle") is a GUI-based database development program, offering SQL worksheets and a database browser. Please note that the Oracle plugin is not shipped. I can't find any instructions on how to get and/or install the Oracle plugin. Most Google queries I found suggest building tora from scratch, but I'd rather stick with using the RPM if possible. In case it matters, I'm trying to access an Oracle 10g instance that is running on a CentOS 4.4 system. Are there any other tools people use to access Oracle instead of SQL*Plus? I'll use anything that provides decent command line editing (e.g. readline support) and can automatically figure out the size of my terminal. SQL*PLus is pretty brain damaged in those departments. Thanks, Alfred

looking for 4.2 minimal kickstart
by Andrew Zahn 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi I am looking for an example of a kickstart file for a simple, minimal server install. I don't need any graphical apps just ssh, httpd and development tools. It seems that even when I specify only the packages I want many other packages are installed making the install very large. Any links to guides or example kickstart files would be great. Thanks, Andrew Zahn

Python/sqlite date time problems.
by Will McDonald 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Bear with me, this is CentOS related. :) I have a python CGI that's behaving weirldy on Whitebox systems that've been switched over to CentOS 4 (ages ago, no other problems to speak of aside from this one). I've broken the problem down to a minimal test case... 1. Create a small database # sqlite3 /tmp/testcase.db 'CREATE TABLE testtable ( date date primary key unique, name varchar(32));' # sqlite3 /tmp/testcase.db 'insert into "testtable" values("2006-10-10", "Will");' # sqlite3 /tmp/testcase.db 'insert into "testtable" values("2006-10-11", "Will");' 2. A small Python script to query this database: #!/usr/bin/python import sqlite cx = sqlite.connect('/tmp/testcase.db') cu = cx.cursor() cu.execute("select date from %s where date like '%s' ;" % ('testtable', '2006-10-' + "%")) print cu.fetchall() ## -------------------- END SCRIPT -------------------- ## Now, here's what's confusing me. If I run this on a box that was built from scratch with CentOS I get the following data back... [root@willspc python]# ./testcase.py [('2006-10-10',), ('2006-10-11',)] If I run it on any upgraded Whitebox system I get... [root@devmon1 python]# ./testcase.py [(<DateTime object for '2006-10-10 00:00:00.00' at b7f14138>,), (<DateTime object for '2006-10-11 00:00:00.00' at b7cbfdb0>,)] As far as I can tell, python, sqlite and python-sqlite are all identical. [root@willspc python]# rpm -qa | grep -Ei '(sqlite)|(python)' | sort libxml2-python-2.6.16-6 mod_python-3.1.3-5.1 python-2.3.4-14.2 python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.2.1 python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2 python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2 rpm-python-4.3.3-18_nonptl sqlite-3.3.3-1.2 On the upgraded system... [root@devmon1 python]# rpm -qa | grep -Ei '(sqlite)|(python)' | sort libxml2-python-2.6.16-6 mod_python-3.1.3-5.1 MySQL-python-1.0.0-1.RHEL4.1 python-2.3.4-14.2 python-clearsilver-0.10.1-1.2.el4.rf python-elementtree-1.2.6-7.el4.rf python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2 python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2 rpm-python-4.3.3-18_nonptl sqlite-3.3.3-1.2 sqlite-devel-3.3.3-1.2 Obviously there some date/time issues but I can't pinpoint exactly what. Can anyone shed any light or prod me in the right direction? The Whitebox systems *do* still have a smattering of Whitebox related RPMs... [root@devmon1 python]# rpm -qa | grep white rpmdb-whitebox-4-0.20050504 whitebox-logos-1.1.25-1.WB1 That system did have whitebox-lsb installed too but I've rpm -e'd it and replaced redhat-lsb, haven't rebooted yet but that's next on the agenda. Cheers. Will.

ieee80211.i386 yum repository

I have been attempting to install the ipw2100.1.2.0 driver onto my laptop, but have run into some troubles. It requires IEEE 802.11, which I have downloaded the rpm for from sourceforge. The make produces the following error for me. ------------ [root@localhost ieee80211-1.2.15]# make Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL for ieee80211 components... make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL/build M=/home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-i686' CC [M] /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/ieee80211_module.o In file included from /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/ieee80211_module.c:52: /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/compat.h:51: error: redefinition of typedef 'gfp_t' include/linux/gfp.h:133: error: previous declaration of 'gfp_t' was here /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/compat.h:73: error: redefinition of 'is_multicast_ether_addr' include/linux/etherdevice.h:60: error: previous definition of 'is_multicast_ether_addr' was here /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/compat.h:80: error: redefinition of 'is_broadcast_ether_addr' include/linux/etherdevice.h:65: error: previous definition of 'is_broadcast_ether_addr' was here /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/compat.h:87: error: conflicting types for 'kzalloc' include/linux/slab.h:101: error: previous declaration of 'kzalloc' was here /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/compat.h:87: error: conflicting types for 'kzalloc' include/linux/slab.h:101: error: previous declaration of 'kzalloc' was here /home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/compat.h:97: error: redefinition of 'compare_ether_addr' include/linux/etherdevice.h:109: error: previous definition of 'compare_ether_addr' was here make[2]: *** [/home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15/ieee80211_module.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/eezell/Desktop/driver_build/ieee80211-1.2.15] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-i686' make: *** [modules] Error 2 [root@localhost ieee80211-1.2.15]# ------------- I found through google a post on the CentOS forum by someone who had the same problem ( http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5347 ). He seems to have found his way through this bit of difficulties thanks to a post on the forum, but I have been unable to find this post. He mentions that he found a way to install it via yum, but that may mean that he installed the package through yum, but didn't download it. If someone could suggest a CentOS friendly repository which contains this package, or some other method of installation, I would appriciate it. Currently I use dag.

Moving Mysql data directory denied by selinux?
by Peter Kiem 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi, I'm trying to move the MySQL data directory to /home/mysql like I have done with every other install I have done before but the difference is this time I am trying to have SELinux active instead of turning it off. I seem to need some help in a) Understanding what the selinux failure messages are saying; and b) How to correct the issue I've read the selinux docs and all I got was a headache *sigh* Now normally I just move /var/lib/mysql to /home/mysql and symlink it. SELinux complains with Oct 10 21:21:59 intspare kernel: audit(1160479319.080:2): avc: denied { read } for pid=15784 comm="mysqld" name="mysql" dev=dm-0 ino=1230340 scontext=root:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=lnk_file Ok, I guess it doesnt like following symlinks so instead I edited /etc/my.cnf to [mysqld] datadir=/home/mysql socket=/home/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/home Now SELinux complains with Oct 10 22:04:27 intspare kernel: audit(1160481867.663:2): avc: denied { search } for pid=3073 comm="mysqld" name="/" dev=dm-1 ino=2 scontext=user_u:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t tclass=dir WHY is mysqld trying to read / when I told it to use /home/mysql ? BTW, here is the security contexts on /home/mysql # ls -laZ /home/ drwxr-xr-x mysql mysql system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t mysql Can anyone please shed some light on this for me? What exactly is the avc message telling me and how do I fix it? -- Regards, Peter Kiem Zordah IT - IT Consultancy and Internet Services Ph: (0414) 724-766 Fax: (07) 3344-5827 Web: www.zordah.net Email: zordah(a)zordah.net

Cannot re-make a software raid pair
by Nigel Kendrick 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Apologies if you get this twice - the first one didn't seem to make it... Hi Guys, I have just replaced a faulty Max...woah, wait...this one's a Seagate... IDE hard disk but I cannot remake the software raid pair. The currently running disk is hda and I am trying to add back hdg - both are master drives on separate controllers. I have run fdisk on hdg and created the same partition structure as had and changed their types to 'fd' but when I try and rebuild the array I get: mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/hdg1 mdadm: hot add failed for /dev/hdg1: Invalid argument If I look at /var/log/messages, I have: Oct 5 16:04:39 petdoctors kernel: md: could not bd_claim hdg1. Oct 5 16:04:39 petdoctors kernel: md: error, md_import_device() returned -16 >From other postings, this seems to imply the hdg1 partition is mounted but I can find no evidence of this (df or cat /proc/mounts or lsof). I have done sone googling and found others having fun with this but no specific solution. Anyone? Thanks Nigel Kendrick
