TightVNC controlling a Mac OSX 10.4.9.
by David A. Woyciesjes 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

Need some pointers here. I've got CentOS 4.4, and I want to control my OSX 10.4.9 box via VNC. It connects, and I get a little dot for the mouse cursor, but just a black screen. I can see the mouse controlling the OSX desktop... Here's the output when I start in a terminal: [d@f ~]$ vncviewer VNC server supports protocol version 3.889 (viewer 3.3) VNC authentication succeeded Desktop name "xxxxxxxx" Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3 VNC server default format: 32 bits per pixel.

kickstart from harddisk to harddisk?
by Dogsbody 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

Please help with a problem that is slowly driving me nuts :-/ *Quick problem* Can I kickstart an install by reading all the files from a single partition on the system and installing onto all the spare space on the same drive? I am using `harddrive --partition=sda1 --dir=/` but it doesn't seem to work!! *Longer version* I have a server that has no CD-ROM and that I would like to install a custom version of CentOS onto. This is supplied as an ISO image. The server is in a datacentre so I can't setup other machines to boot off however a single boot server is available for diagnostics only. So far I have - Netbooted the machine - Wiped all partitions and created a single 800MB partition - Made this ext2 (kickstart seems to need ext2) - Mounted this drive and downloaded the ISO to it - Mounted the ISO as loopback - Copied all the data from the ISO into the disk - Setup extlinux and used the isolinux config - Modified the kickstart file... Changed `cdrom` to `harddrive --partition=sda1 --dir=/` Removed the line `clearpart --all` - Reboot Now, the system boots from disk, vmlinuz and initrd.img both unpack and execute fine! (so the syslinux/extlinux seems to be working great) and pages of system startup scroll past. It seems to then start asking for questions that should be covered by the kickstart file including asking where all the files are on the disk and then showing me the disk with all the files on! :-/ "What partition and directory on that partition hold the CD (iso9660) images" After all of this I feel so close yet so far! Thank you very much in advance Dan

Binding an ip address to an username with SQUID passwod file
by Indunil Jayasooriya 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

Hi List, I want to bind an ip address to a username with squid by using squid password file. I am using ncsa_auth programme. Below are line that I have added to squid.conf file. auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_passwd auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow ncsa_users We are currently browsing internet with usernames and passwords. But the problem is a user can access internet from all the workstation with his username and password. I do not need it. I only want a user to access internet from his machine. Solution to that is binding an ip address to an username. Then, A user can access internet from that particular ip. I searche a lot from the internet. I found some info. I tried a lot. But I still have not been able to solve this issue. Some info I found from the Internet says perl script can do it. pls see below ulrs for it. http://iits.uap.edu.ph/~jpira/footnotes/squid.html<http://iits.uap.edu.ph/%7Ejpira/footnotes/squid.html> http://www.visolve.com/squid/squid30/externalsupport.php Pls note that I am not a programmer. So I do not know any perl nor do I know any python stuff. So I do not want to go with above urls. But, I found an easy method from squid list. Pls see below URLS . http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200208/0033.html http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200208/0029.html These above URLS are fine for me. The above URLS say, put the IP add in squid passwd I did it. Pls see below for my squid_passwd file. [root@worldnet ~]# cat /etc/squid/squid_passwd indunil:TeiAQ3uqXDQNg:192.168.101.25 www:Oi4THedCcN0nQ web:qsTaT6v2loN5g It has bound user indunil to ip address 192.168.101.25 . But user indunil still can access internet from any ip . Why is that? Where did I go wrong? I think that it is an easy task. Pls help me to solve this issue. It is urgent. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Video drivers, bittorrent and Centos 5?
by Scott R Ehrlich 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

At home I have CentOS 4.4 running on a Compaq Presario with an ATI Radeon 200G video chipset. Naturally, the linux driver support ATI offers are pretty crappy, thus many postings to many web sites on problems and possible resolutions. I forget where, and natually I didn't bookmark it, but there was one web site that provided the exact working solution. From then on, my video support worked flawlessly. Now, with CentOS 5 coming out, what support will there be for this type of card? My installation came from a bittorrent DVD. The problem I have with this method is how trustworthy seeded sites are for the download? If I am downloading 4, 5, or 6 CDs from a .gov, .mil, or .edu site, I feel it will be much more trustworthy. Granted, I could also outright pay for media from the CentOS organization. If someone can convince me that bittorrent is a 100% safe way to retrieve a copy of the OS with no tampering, then I'll feel more comfortable. Otherwise, I will want to completely redo my machine with CentOS 5, from partitioning on up. Thanks for any feedback/insights. Scott

Just wondering if anyone on the list is using Freevo + CentOS. I'm having some difficulty wrangling it and various dependencies and was hoping to chat with someone who's gotten it to work off list. This is for my home media center project. Thanks, Chris

RE: [CentOS] Samba config for Windows on VMWare

From: Mark Hull-Richter [mailto:mhull-richter@datallegro.com] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 12:15 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] Samba config for Windows on VMWare I know this is a little off topic (not as usual, dammit!), but I figure at least one of y'all can handle this one. I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing with the VMWare Windows that runs on it. However, no matter what I've done so far, I can't get the Windows to recognize this machine as a legitimate network destination. Here's my samba config file: [root@mhullrichter shared]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf # Global parameters [global] server string = Samba Server security = SHARE log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [public] comment = Data path = /home/mark force user = mark force group = users read only = No guest ok = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No It passes testparm, the smb daemons are up and running: [root@mhullrichter shared]# psg smbd root 2751 1 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D root 2752 2751 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D I noticed that neither the nmbd nor winbindd daemons are running - dunno why, the startup showed [ OK ]. But in the Windows, it can see my machine but can't connect to it - what am I missing?

kickstart - how do I specify I20_block driver
by Karl R. Balsmeier 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I ask you, the list, how do I edit the kickstart file to tell the installer to add this driver and use it. If I don't, I get an error that says roughly "no suitable disk devices found to install on". i'm calling kickstart like this (thanks to Joshua-Baker LePain's advice a while back) linux ks=http://192.168.my.webserver/serverx.ks ip=192.168.whatever.ip netmask=255.255.255.248 gateway=192.168.x.1 dns=my.dns.server.ip Is there a section I should edit just before this disks in the kickstart file are called to call and use the i20_block driver, or do I pass it as a parameter at the kickstart command line? -karlski
