Same for vnc ... the vnc server is logged in as a user, that service would need to re-login (restarting the service vncserver should do that) to see changes added for that user.

file permissions and groups
by Michael Velez 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hello all, I have a file owned by apache:apache with permissions of 640. I have added myself to the apache group using usermod -G (and I can verify that using the groups command) but I still can't read the abovementioned file. Am I not getting something? Michael

Bind problem - rndc key (after update?)
by kadafax 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Hi list, here is what happened: today I noticed some resolution's problems on my network. I did a "service named status" and here was the output: # /etc/init.d/named status rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid. In the named's log, several entries like that: general: error: invalid command from 127.0.0.1#42033: bad auth I am not using the key's authentication on my chrooted bind dns and it was working great so far. Searching on rndc's files in /etc I've found mismatch for the key value in /etc/rndc.conf and /etc/rndc.key. There was also a rndc.key.rpmnew file. After giving the good value for the key entry (I've copied-pasted the value from the .key file), the bind daemon seems to be happy now. My question is how things get broken because I didn't touch the bind's config files for a year or so (only the zone files, sometime) ? --------------- CentOS 4.4 fully updated [root@host etc]# rpm -qa | grep bind ypbind-1.17.2-8 bind-libs-9.2.4-16.EL4 bind-utils-9.2.4-16.EL4 bind-chroot-9.2.4-16.EL4 bind-9.2.4-16.EL4 [root@host etc]# uname -a Linux host 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 6 06:28:26 CDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ----------------- Thanks for any input.

Upgrading subversion
by Ronan Lucio 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Hello, I´d like to install subversion system in our server (CentOS-4.4) up2date has the subversion-1.1.4-2, but subversion is already on verson 1.4.2 Perhaps I loose good features if I install subversion-1.1.x, but I prefer to use the version delivered by up2date, of course. 1) What do you suggest? If I try to install subversion-1.4.2 from source it asks for apr and apr-util version 0.9.7 or above but up2date has apr and apr-util version 0.9.4 2) If I upgrade it via RPM could I have some compatibilty breaked? Thanks, Ronan

What happened to the RescueCD?
by Karl Hanzel 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

Hey folks - So what happened to the RescueCD ISO?... i'm not finding it under the ...centos/4.4/isos/ dir, as i believe it generally has been previously. At my office, we have a local mirror, and i've always just burned the RescueCD ISO and booted with that. At the prompt i supply "linux askmethod" and then later reference our local mirror to do an install or upgrade. The RescueCD is (or was) particularly convenient, because it's small & quick to download & burn. Is there a simple alternative that i'm overlooking? Thanks *----->
