I have a device on my network that is not DHCP and I dont know the IP address of it and it has not method of finding it or changing it unless you know the IP address (setable by browser). Is there a way on linux, based on MAC address, to get the IP of the unit? Thanks, Jerry

file or website upload scripts / programs and security protection
by Robert - elists 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Holiday Greetings! Ummmmm scenario is centos 4.5 standard apache webserver I have a client that is really struggling with website file upload concepts. Ive been googling for some scripts or other programs that allow uploading of files to proper directory(ies) after authentication I am definitely concerned about security issues of course. I have never implemented this before because everyone I have ever given a web address, a login, a password, and directory structure understood what was going on.... till now... Would someone consider and please share url's or other info about what solutions they have implemented for the website upload technically challenged? We do not mind paying if we need to get something that also helps create excellent yet basic websites on the fly too. Thanks! - rh

Announcing the CentOS on Laptops initiative
by Dag Wieers 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi all, I would like to announce a CentOS on Laptops initiative. The aim is to allow everybody in the community (and on this mailinglist) to document their own experience with CentOS on their laptop (on the CentOS wiki). The goal of this initiative consists of 2 parts: - help and convince people with their own CentOS on laptop installation - promote CentOS on other Laptop websites and fill in this existing void I hope that everyone think back about the experience on their existing laptop and add it to the wiki, and document everything when doing future laptop installations. <insert your favorite motivational quote here ! :)> -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

NFS V3 errors after updates applied
by Dan Goetzman 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

I just applied the latest updates to my CentOS 5 cluster; kernel is now 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 Sun NFS clients now show error messages when long listing files; > # ls -l dantest > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > total 32 > drwxrwxrwx 1 dan users 0 Aug 22 10:36 dantest It works, there just seems to be a problem with the GETACL NFS call on the updated kernel. Backing filesystems are GFS. Booting back to the old kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5) and the problem is gone. Anyone else seen this problem? -Dan

Ethernet over USB
by Krautkramer, John 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi, Is it true you can run Ethernet over USB between 2 machines? I have 2 machines running CentOS 5.0 and a simple type A male to A male cable. I don't see in the network setup gui how to set it up. Is there a particular device I should select? What I see relating to USB is: KL4USB101 USB Ethernet driver Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver USB CDC Ethernet driver These appear to be some kind of hardware other than a cable. lsmod gives me "usbnet 20041 0" so I believe this means the kernel module is there. Any ideas? Thanks, John

mysql 5.1 rpm spec file?
by Johnny Tan 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Does Red Hat make available spec files for future releases? I took the existing mysql 5.0 spec file and, with a few mods here and there, was able to build the 5.1 rpm. But there are some new things which I am curious how they will deal with (ndb stuff, primarily), and was wondering if they have available the "beta" SRPMs or spec files for future versions of software. johnn
