Getting kernel source for 2.6.9-42.ELsmp
by Charles E Campbell Jr 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hello! I need to get an arcnet device driver up and running. Normally it appears to be distributed with linux, but not installed. So, I need to compile and install it, naturally. So, where is the kernel souce for 2.6.9-42.ELsmp? I can find kernel source for 2.6.9. BTW, I obtained 2.6.9 and tried compiling it, but all I got was *.o files and insmod: error inserting 'arcnet.o`: -1 Invalid module format Seems that the rest of the /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net appear to be *.ko files. Hope y'all can help! Charles Campbell

New VLC (0.8.6) packages?
by chrism＠imntv.com 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Anyone know where I could find this package for Centos 4.4 x86_64? I've googled all over and haven't been able to find anything more current the 0.8.4a. I'm not much of a programmer, but if someone could point me at a "packaging for dummies" perhaps I could have a go at creating a package if one doesn't already exist? Cheers,

Re: [CentOS] Help With Installation to USB Stick

Hi: Thanks for the advice. I think I did try this (actually, I believe when I went through the CentOS install (graphical if it makes any difference) by default it labelled it as /. I am hoping tonight or tomorrow to try to do another install and will give it a shot!

/var/log/secure timestamp
by Andres Baravalle 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hi everyone, I have some very strange information in my /var/log/secure: find /var/log | xargs grep -i 62.149.129.73 2>/dev/null /var/log/secure:Dec 13 21:32:38 baravalle xinetd[1219]: START: smtp pid=26049 from=62.149.129.73 /var/log/secure:Dec 13 21:32:38 baravalle sshd[26048]: Did not receive identification string from ::ffff:62.149.129.73 /var/log/secure:Dec 13 20:33:33 baravalle sshd[26059]: Failed none for invalid user admin1000000 from ::ffff:62.149.129.73 port 3754 ssh2 /var/log/secure:Dec 13 21:33:42 baravalle sshd[26058]: Failed password for invalid user admin1000000 from ::ffff:62.149.129.73 port 3754 ssh2 /var/log/secure:Dec 13 20:33:42 baravalle sshd[26059]: Failed password for invalid user admin1000000 from ::ffff:62.149.129.73 port 3754 ssh2 Apparently someone tried to log in with a user name (I changed the username here). I don't like the timestamps: 21:32:38, 20:33:33, 21:33:42, 20:33:42. Why is that? By the way, most probably the access has been done by my provider. They are denying it, but there is overwhelming evidence: the username used is the one that they gave me, which is the word admin and a string of 7 digits. The username should be known just by me, my business partner and my provider. The username was anyway invalid in the system, because I had disabled SSH access from all users but the ones in a group. Nevertheless, in their records, the provider had another user name that I didn't disable (stupid me) because they did some maintenance work not long ago. I can't see any access from the correct user name since the last time I had authorised them to access the server. Anyone able to bring some light? Andres

Help With Installation to USB Stick
by Mark Rose 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Recently, I was able to create a workable Centos 4.4 "Live USB" on my 1G Lexar Firefly pendrive using the steps in http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html. At the moment, it is doing its job, so I probably won't focus too much more on it. One thing that is annoying, although doesn't cause a problem is that on powerdown and reboot, the cd rom drive ejects - of course, there is no CD in it! My ultimate goal is to get a standard, updatable 4.4 install onto my 4G Firefly, I am at a loss as to why I get the following errors: *************************************** Booting 'CentOS-4 i386 (2.6.9-42.EL)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x16dd65] initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1fefe000, 0x612ef bytes] Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

I also uncompressed initrd.gz and tried to add them manually - I had no luck with either method. Since I am by no means a Linux expert (my background is in data and voice networking), any and all suggestions and URLs will be appreciated! Mark

ACL Support and Samba
by Shawn Everett 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

I've been playing with filesystem ACLs and wanted to integrate that with Samba to create a more transparent end user experiance. I have set up and tested a JFS partition with ACL support. I can use getfacl and setfacl with no problems to set permissions as needed. It works great. I compiled Samba with ACL support using the --with-acl configure option. Unfortunately I can't seem to get Samba/Windows to list the full set of permissions that show up with a getfacl. Trying to add two users with two different permissions to a file via Windows, returns an "access denied" message. The listed permissions only show the normal owner/group/other permissions and not the more detailed getfacl permissions that have been set up. If anyone has any hints or suggestions it would be apreciated. Shawn

rpmforge/dag's perl-Apache-ASP
by Kevan Benson 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Has anyone actually had any success in installing the perl-Apache-ASP package from rpmforge? CentOS 4 seems to have just the right combination of almost using mod_perl 2 (1.99 before major API changes) to make this extremely hard to get right while staying with somewhat standard packages. I suspect it's in the repo but not actually tested, as I've tried quite a few combinations of using this RPM with the CentOS4 mod_perl and my own mod_perl 2 built using cpan2rpm, as well as my own perl-Apache-ASP.rpm built from CPAN. I've also experienced problems with compiling ePerl into and RPM, mainly due to it's age, but I can probably patch this to get it to build. Suggestions for other solutions with similar functionality are welcome, I'm really just looking for a in-lined perl/HTML solution that provides somewhat respectable performance while altering the actual perl as little as possible (unlike embperl and mason, which each implement a mini-language to varying degrees). -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks

looking for libpangocairo
by Ted Miller 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

I installed Komposer from .tgz file, since I couldn't find it on any of my repos. It wants to use libpangocairo, but I can't find anywhere willing to give it to me. I did a yum provides libpangocairo, but nobody would own up to having it. Is there somewhere I can download a compatible .rpm? Is there somewhere I can rpm a compatible libpangocairo? Thanks, Ted Miller Indiana
