Moderating on IRC and/or the Mailing Lists
by Johnny Hughes 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

OK I am going to say this once. The CentOS IRC Channel and these lists are not personal playgrounds for people, and they are moderated by CentOS developers. If a developer tells you to stop something on the lists or in the IRC ... then JUST DO IT ... and then: JUST SHUT THE F--- UP I am getting fairly tired of people thinking that they don't have to listen to what people who make this distro possible have to say ... and that they don't need to be polite. You need to do both ...

local port redirect not working on Centos4
by Francois Caen 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hello, I want to redirect one local port to another. I am using the following: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 7003 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 80 and testing it by telneting to localhost on port 7003. It works on Centos3, not on Centos4. No luck with this either: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 7002 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:80 Am I doing something wrong? Or did something change in 2.6? Tried googling this, no luck. Thanks, -- Francois Caen, RHCE, CCNA SpiderMaker, LLC

Recommendations for securing a webserver
by Benjamin Smith 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hello, We're migrating a webserver from RedHat 7.x to CentOS 4.2. In the process, we'd like to improve security. We're currently planning on making sure SELinux is enabled, mounting the /tmp partition noexec, and running PHP in safe mode, hide_errors on, register_globals off by default. vsftpd is set to chroot logins. I've seen Apache run inside a chroot jail, but that was always very hassle-prone, and ironically, when security updates came out, they weren't applied within the chroot jail, (eg, installed via yum) making it more likely to get compromised! Is there an easier/better way to do this? Can you mix/match chroot'ed websites with those that aren't, without running a wholy separate webserver daemon? What other actions would the knowledgeable crowd here suggest? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978

Video card
by Steve Bergman 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

I'm looking for the highest performance 2d/3d video card that is supported out of the box by Centos 4.2 with open source drivers. I would need for both 2d and 3d to work. No tv tuner, tv in, tv out etc. is needed. I think my best candidate would be a 9800 series radeon. Any comments? Thanks, Steve

Gnome print manager. Nobody knows ?
by Jean Lee 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi all, I got no answers to my last post so I try one more time. I really can't find the info on the Centos mailing list archive. I'm sure that it is an easy question.... I want to use the gnome print manager (in order to manage the print queue) but the icon is not available in : Main menu -> System tools. Does anybody knows in which package it is contained or how to launch it from a terminal? Thanks, Jean
