Re: [CentOS] Linux kerberos to Windows AD 2000/2003
by Ian Kaufman 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Greg, The latest release of Windows AD (ADR2) integrates a newer version of SFU into the AD schema. We have tested it very successfully using our CentOS boxes to authenticate authorize access to our machines, using kerberos and LDAP. We tried the winbind/smb approach, and the way it handles UIDs and GIDs is less than desireable in our case. It might work for small offices/networks with 50 users or so, but for us, in the case of spreading it campuswide to 1000s of users, it would never do. Also, the degree of UID/GID management is less than stellar since they are enumerated as people log on, and if the machine housing the UID/GID database crashes or you lose the database, getting the exact same mappings upon rebuild may not work - even with backups.

Nope, I've changed ctrl+alt+S/L to use different key combos (alt+S/L are used for special polish characters), but have had no luck with the un-auto fullscreen. However I have noticed that apparently spaces don't work in passwords (at least that's what my users are reporting, can't always duplicated it, but a single space as a password does appear to fail).

SystemC on CentOS

Hi everybody, I am new to linux and systemc so forgive me if it's a trivial question but I have a problem when I tried to configure systemC V2.0.1 on CentOS I followed the install-file instructions but when I tried to config. I got the following message: creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unkn own-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized checking target system type...

Thanx Haytham

AW: [CentOS] Problems with installation
by Horchler, Joerg 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

I'll try to install CentOS 4.3 for X86_64. Do you have an idea how I can find out which device causes the keyboard to freeze? I'm not able to watch at the consoles without input device :-( Is there a list which single devices/buses I can disable to probe for? I tried to boot with dd=nfs:<ip>:<path> too. But at the moment the installer tries to load megaraid_sas BEFORE network is reachable :-( So I think I need noprobe the device which freezes the keyboard _and_ in addition I need to find out how to noprobe for any SAS-Device (storage controllers). Does the option scsi=noprobe exists? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] Im Auftrag von Karanbir Singh Gesendet: Samstag, 15.

The installer just says:"loading > megaraid_sas" for hours and hours (the complete last night). When I start with 'linux noprobe' > I'm able to look at another console (alt+F2) and can try 'lsmod'. The > output for megaraid_sas is 'loading' and not 'live' (again: for hours). you will need, as Jim pointed out already, the drivers from Dell for this - also, i see you have an issue with the /dev/hda instead of the /dev/fd0 coming up, one workaround for this is to convert the drivers into an iso format and burn that to CD... What Ver / Arch of CentOS are you installing here anyway ? in most cases the installer will ask for which device has the Driver Disk ( you only need to boot with linux dd ). the only time that it wont ask, is when it can only find one device which might contain the driver disk ( perhaps with the noprobe the fd0 is not being detected at all ). if you have network, DD=http://somewhere/ should work as well, from the boot line. I've not actually used one of these machines, so just sharing some ideas that might be worth trying.

by ankush grover 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

hey friends, I am using vsftpd version 2.0.1 on Centos4.0. I am trying to create some virtual users who can upload,download and delete the files in their particular directories. I followed the below link to create the virutal users http://linuxsir.zahui.net/html/23/43449.htm I have created a user called "tester" and the entries in the tester file (/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf/tester) are anon_world_readable_only=NO user_sub_token=$USER local_root=/var/www/html/testing write_enable=YES anon_upload_enable=YES chown_uploads=YES The problem I am facing is that virtual user is not able to delete the files or folders under /var/www/html/testing directory but this user can upload and download the files or folders on /var/www/html/testing The vsftpd.conf file user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf write_enable=NO anon_upload_enable=NO anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO anon_other_write_enable=NO chroot_local_user=YES guest_enable=YES guest_username=apache listen=YES hide_ids=YES hide_files=lost+found pam_service_name=ftp userlist_enable=YES local_umask=022 anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES tcp_wrappers=YES How do I configure vsftp so that virtual users can upload,delete and download the files or folders ? SELinux is off on Centos4.0 and iptables are configured to allow FTP ports. Please let me know if you need any further inputs. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
