DNS Server and SQL backend
by Rodrigo Barbosa 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think most people here use BIND as their DNS server of choise. I just happen to have updated DLZ patch for the current bind version. DLZ patch allows you to use mysql (pgsql, ldap etc) as a backend for zone storage. I make no garantees, of course, but if anyone is interested on the patch (with or without the specfile for rpm building), please let me know.

So it wouldn't work with my HW, which was brand new and built around 3Ware SATA cards. HTH Mark

Open Source NAS/NFS solution
by Tom Brown 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi Has anyone got any ideas on a nfs/nas appliance that i can install on x86 hardware with a few JBOD shelves attached to it. I would like an appliance like install and based on CentOS would be great. I really like the look of www.openfiler.com but it seems to be only in RC release stage so i don't think the 'boss' would like that idea. thanks

Netgear FA312 Wake-on-Lan problem
by Steve Campbell 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

I have just noticed what appears to be a problem with my CentOS 3.7 servers shutting down. I have Netgear FA312 NICs in some of my DELL PowerEdge 700 servers and this particular NIC has WOL ability. I cannot turn this off in the BIOS or limit the error responses. When I do a "halt", the server goes only as far as closing the ethernet card and stops, resulting in a hardboot being necessary. I guess this is not an error, as it indicates it is staying awake for WOL, but I don't have it plugged in to the motherboard. Does anyone have a clue as to how I should disable this stuff to allow a clean shutdown? (without the need to replace the type of NIC, which is the next solution) Thanks Steve Campbell campbell(a)cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

I have just found what the problem was: I was using the LinWiz iptables firewall builder, and this one did set by default to have a limitation for synfloods at 1 syn per second (at the end of the script). This, used with SSL, makes the HTTPS connection transfer speed being very very slow, but not for the HTTP connections. Now I incremented it to 50/s and 100 burst limitation, and all works very well. For those that this might help.. Daniel

CentOS and Intel S5000PAL NIC problem
by Mindaugas Kiznis 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hello, - I have posted this to the Rocks Clusters discussion list, I will try here too. I have problems installing Rocks 4.1 and 4.2 Beta, which is based on CentOS 4.3 on Intel S5000PAL server board. My guess is that the installion requires "10/100/1000 Intel® 82563EB PHYs supporting Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology" to be fully up. However, the included e1000 module seems to be not the latest and does not fit the mentioned NIC. Intel publishes driver sources. My question, is there any version of the latest e1000 in driver disk format for CentOS 4.3/RHEL4? Will appreciate any comments. Thank you! -- Best Regards, Mindaugas Kiznis BGM Systems Manager M.K.Ciurlionio 17, LT-03104 Vilnius mailto:mindaugas@bgm.lt http://www.bgm.lt

firefox i386 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4
by kenkensmile＠netscape.net 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi all I am using CentOS 4.3 and my default language is Japanese. I am using firefox with Japanese language. I installed firefox i386 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 update 15 M on my computer via yum yesterday. CentOS 4.3 has been acting strange! Japanese language on firefix has gone and English seems to be default language on firefox. I simply removed firefox 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 and reinstalled firefox 1.0.7-1.4.3.centos4, so I can use firefox with Japanese language. Would you know why this is happening? Is this happening only to me? I installed firefox extensions on firefox 1.0.7-1.4.3.centos4. Does it affect on firefox i386 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4? Thanks.
