Web Interface Collapse?
by Mike Stankovic 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Unless its an April Fools joke, the web interface shows the source code rather than the messages. An oversight or a compromise? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

by Collins Richey 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Just a tag-on for the thread about list posting etiquette, etc., etc. The following is a link to an excellent (if wordy) how-to-do-it-right instruction manaual replete with links to other treatises on the topic. The entire text of this document is emailed to the mailing list on the 1st of each month. This is the Cadillac of etiquette manuals. http://www.linux-sxs.org/index2.html Enjoy, -- Collins Richey If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

SSH + VNC
by Ryan 01 Apr '06

I am trying to log into a desktop that is running CentOS 4.2 by tennelling VNC through SSH.. The desktop auto-logins a user, then sits there waiting for me to login. On the client side, I fire up SSH tunneling ssh -L 8000:127.0.0.1:5900 The client spits back the error vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused Unable to connect to VNC server The server says channel 5: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused channel 5: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused I've tried ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 ssh -L 8000:localhost:5900 and neither work. I've also tried using the command vino-preferences on the remote desktop. It tells me to connect to vnc:/IP-address:0 Whats interesting is that if I issue the command vncserver on the remote desktop, it starts up a new server on display :1. I can connect to this display with no issues via the SSH tunnel. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I use SSH tunneling and VNC with display :0 on SUSE 10.0 machines all the time without issues. thanks

libxml2 RPM via yum?
by Mark Sargent 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hi All, I can't find anything via yum for libxml2. I also, for some reason, can't get to the source page for libxml2 here, http://xmlsoft.org/sources/libxml2/ Is there not an RPM via yum for this? Need it for a dependency for installing PHP from source, which I need to do, for certain reasons. Cheers. Mark.

Update among protected repos (with yum-protectbase-plugin)
by Alain Reguera 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello, >From http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumPlugins ---- This plugin allows certain repositories to be protected. Packages in the protected repositories can't be overridden by packages in non-protected repositories even if the non-protected repo has a later version. --- But jumps a doubt to me, can be updated packages among different protected repos? Suppose you have 2 protected repos A and B. First you install package pkg-N.rpm from repo A, then in repo B there is an update to the pkg-N.rpm which you installed from repo A. Is this update permitted? Greetings
