Re: [CentOS] Swap Considerations

If you are an IEEE member, you can look on the web site for jobs. If not, look on monster(s).com Suggest when you are not looking for a job, you download the PDF files for the RHEL manuals, from the CentOS web site, at this URL: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/ and look through them. They will answer many of your questions and give you much guidance! I never worked with UNIX when I was employed, and there is a "learning curve", but, it's well worth it. My Linux partitions on this home desktop box (dual boot with Win XP) look something like this: swap is 1020 MB (512 MB of RAM) /opt is vfat 1028 MB (to transfer data between Win XP and Linux safely) /boot is ext3 102 MB /home is ext3 4001 MB /tmp is ext3 1028 MB / is ext3 4997 MB I believe you should backup the data in /home (tar -cvf backup.tar /home/mike) for example) and then burn that to a CD and then do a "clean" install of CentOS 4.4 and then restore your data and browser and e-mail. I believe that unless the box you install to has unsupported HW, it is going to work for you, out of the box, without any problems. It takes me awhile to restore to Evolution (my e-mail client) and then a few minutes to restore my Bookmarks and Cookies to Firefox and I'm ready to go. CentOS is a very good, solid, distribution, like the upstream distro. It is not perfect, but it is much more solid and stable and secure than many distros and I doubt that I will stray from CentOS again. HTH, Lanny

virtualizing Windows in Cetnos
by William Warren 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Here is what i am looking to do. i have a server SBS 2k3 machine. I want to load linux on it then virtualize the SBS server inside the linux installation. I would then be able to compress backup just the sbs virtual file instead of screwing with the backup programs inside of windows(even symantec's and yosemitie's stuff leaves much to be desired). What are my options both free and commercial? I know i will have to upgrade the memory to about 2 gigabytes..:) -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

CentOS 4.4 smp on Dual Quad Core Xeon
by Jerry Muller 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I'm booting the default kernel on a dual quad core Xeon machine. I only see four CPUs and I expect to see 8. Do I have to build a custom kernel? Is there a switch or configuration parameter I need to set? Thanks, Jerry

Problem with VSFTP
by Rajeev R Veedu 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

I have setup an ftp server with VSFTP over Centos 4.4. Everything works fine except when I login though IE it doen' ask for the username password but by default it goes to Pub folder. (/var/ftp/pub). I need to access this through view--> open ftp folder in separate window -> file --> login. In short the server doesn't prompt for username when I type the ftp address on the address bar. Instead it takes you to public folder. Is there any way I could get the login prompt when typing the ftp address? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Rajeev Please find below the vsftpd.conf #anonymous_enable=YES # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022, # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's) #local_umask=022 # # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user. #anon_upload_enable=NO # # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create # new directories. #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES # # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they # go into a certain directory. dirmessage_enable=YES # # Activate logging of uploads/downloads. xferlog_enable=YES # # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES # # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not # recommended! chown_uploads=YES #chown_username=whoever # # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log # # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format xferlog_std_format=YES # #local_root=/Data/$HOME # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session. #idle_session_timeout=600 # # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection. #data_connection_timeout=120 # # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user. #nopriv_user=ftpsecure # # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it, # however, may confuse older FTP clients. #async_abor_enable=YES # # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII # mangling on files when in ASCII mode. # Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties # to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in # ASCII mode. # These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish # to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking), # without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be # on the client anyway.. #ascii_upload_enable=YES #ascii_download_enable=YES # # You may fully customise the login banner string: ftpd_banner=Welcome to MY FTP server. # # You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently # useful for combatting certain DoS attacks. #deny_email_enable=YES # (default follows) #banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails # # You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of # users to NOT chroot(). chroot_list_enable=YES # (default follows) chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list # #chroot_local_user=YES # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it. #ls_recurse_enable=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES #enable for standalone mode listen=YES tcp_wrappers=YES

27 Feb '07

im triying to install linux on a IBM x346 thats uses the a320raid driver, this machines has 2 disk as a raid 1 (with W2003 Server)and a third disk for Centos4. when i install Centos its see 3 disk, no the raid, my question is, those grub depends on Linux seing the raid for properly bootup, because when i install grub in /dev/sda i does not load ok.

Jay Leafey told me about xmms in another thread and then you replied to my post and told me about xmms. I got xmms to work this morning. :-) Now, if I can find an RPM for the xmms Output Plugin for MP3, that works in CentOS 4.4, that will enable me to convert selected tracks to mp3 and use them in my cell phone. Thank you very much, for replying to me, and, for the incredible amount of time you spend working on CentOS and supporting it! Lanny
