After installing samba, "rpm -q" shows me I have samba, samba-common, samba-client and samba-swat installed. However, putting http://localhost:901 in the browser brings up an error that the URL cannot be found. Not sure where to go from here.

While this is true for a starting point, this is not the whole story. Traceroute starts on this port but every time it sends out a packet the port number is increased automatically. Why? Simple, the TTL is exceeded so traceroute sends out on the next port in numerical order. Thus traceroute needs more then 33434 open there should be a range of ports open. Traceroute does not always start on this port either I have found out. Sometimes it starts on a hight port but only by a few hopes. > I wrote below 2 rules > > iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -d 64.233.189.104 --dport 33434 -j ACCEPT > iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s 64.233.189.104 --sport 33434 -j ACCEPT I have the following ( I do not restrict traceroute destination); -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp --dport 33200:33500 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT Also you don't need the INPUT statement if you have ESTABLISHED,RELATED at the top of your INPUT chain. > Then I tried as below [snip] > But Still the same. > > WHY?

Problem with Postgresql
by Matthew Martz 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

I know I am probably missing something easy here but I just installed postgresql-7.4.16-1.RHEL4.1 and there is no init script for postgresql. I know in CentOS 3 it was rhdb. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! -- Matthew Martz CentOS Mirror Admin mdmartz(a)gflug.net

The ALT-F2 keys didn't seem to work, and it hung up the install, though I'm willing to try alternative suggestions. CTL-ALT-F2 does get me a shell prompt, if I do it during a pause. What I've finally done is set up a vfat partition on the on the server itself. That way, when I do a clearpart --linux in the ks.cfg it doesn't bother that vfat. Leaving the ks.cfg on there allows me to try different kickstart configurations with that server w/o having to make coasters each time. Once I find kickstarts I like, I don't mind placing them on a CD. Thanks for the help. Even though I didn't accomplish what I was originally looking for, I learned a lot trying everyone's suggestions. === Al

Centos 4 and Supermicro ICH7R
by ricardo oliveira 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hi: I've tried to install centos 4.3 in a raid array, setuped on bios as mode "Adaptec". The chip is ICH7R but centos always sees 2 drives instead of the array that I create. I've contacted Supermicro support and they gave me this link ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/Adaptec_ICH7R/Linux/Redhat/ , but the disk drivers I tried to use with centos 4.3 did not work, saying that the disk did not containt appropriate drivers for the hardware. Have anyone here had similar problems? does centos 4.4 solves this issue? I really need to install centos as an array... and as hardware RAID and not software RAID. Best Regards, Ricardo

Still unsure of the Dag Repos for CentOS 3
by Steve Campbell 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag repos file to be enabled. But as I was told before, yum on version 3 does not use this folder. Now I can add the contents of the rpmforge.repo file directly to my yum.conf, and make this work, but is this how it is supposed to be configured? The real question is: How is the rpmforge rpm supposed to work on Centos 3? Thanks for any clarity. Steve Campbell campbell(a)cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

CentOS 4 CPAN problem
by FTN 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Not sure if this is the proper list, but I've spent days browsing for the solution. This only happens on the CentOS machine, so I'll start here. After upgrading CPAN, I get the following: undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::gzopen called at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Tarzip.pm line 102. "gzopen" seems to refer to a PHP command. Am I missing a module, or have I hit a bug? KS

I'm coming to the conclusion that RH, and by extension, CentOS just won't allow you to use a kickstart file over the network w/o DHCP. I can and have used NFS as long as I place the kickstart file on the CD itself. That's a pain. === Al

ASUS M2V mobo issues
by David Baker 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

We have 4 systems supported by ASUS M2V mobos with AMD2 cpus on board. No we haven't gotten CentOS of any flavor to work yet. Yes, we did load Fedora Core 6 and it worked, with respect to the SATA driver only. There is a RAID, Audio and LAN driver for Linux that comes on the M2V mobo CD. The audio driver installs and works fine on FC6. I've read many of the messages with respect to setting up the LAN driver. We've had the best success with the 1.0.4.x Attansic driver being provided by Jay Cliburn (kernel 2.6.18.x). He has been very helpful with this. He has a 2.x driver which doesn't appear to work with the 2.6.18 kernel and we haven't gotten any LAN driver to work with the 2.6.19 upgrade so we've fallen back to the FC6 2.6.18.x kernel for now. I took someone's advice and downloaded the bios flash app and tried that approach. I immediately toasted the BIOS chip. I called ASUS in Louisville, KY and they advised that I get a new BIOS chip. The conversation seemed to indicate this was not a new phenomenon. I ordered a new chip for each machine with their newest BIOS. I inserted a new chip in one of the systems and fired it up. Low and behold, the chip is not an MV2 BIOS as before, but an American Megatrends BIOS (2.45.x). It works much better and there are more appropriate settings in the BIOS now for ACPI. The plug and play drivers in CentOS 4.4 may work better with this BIOS as well since there are no onboard LAN settings in the BIOS setup. I'm hoping this means I can use CentOS on these systems now. I'll keep you posted. If you contact the http://helpdesk.asus.com <http://helpdesk.asus.com/> and call their tech support (ext 3). They'll put you in touch with a gal who will ship you the new chip for 5 bucks (5 to 10 day ground). I think it's worth it, so far. David Baker
