one application receive all key commands
by Jerry Geis 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Is there a way in centos 4 or 5 to have one application receive all keyboard events - no matter what is running. Some applications bind keys etc... and I need to get those keys no matter what and not have the application see them at all. Is there a way to do that? Jerry

logwatch reports not benig emailed
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hello, I have a couple of CentOS 5 servers, and third running in a FC6 domU. I've configured postfix on those servers to not deliver any email to the local system, but to instead relay mail to an internal mail server. I also set up /etc/aliases to send all mail to root to me, ksandhu. I can send mail on the command line, and I get it at my email address, delivered to the internal mail server: great! But, every night when logwatch runs, the damned reports never make it to my mailbox. What's worse is that I can manually run logwatch (logwatch --mailto root), and I get the report in my mailbox! All CentOS 5 servers are exhibiting the same behaviour. I've setup postfix like I always have. CentOS 4 servers with the same config are sending their logwatch reports properly. I've tried explicitly setting the path to sendmail in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf: mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" but, it hasn't helped. Does anyone have any ideas? I must be missing something obvious. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 12:14:54 up 16 days, 3:01, 3 users, load average: 0.99, 0.38, 0.23

OpenCA for Centos
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

OpenCA has rpm for FC4: https://www.openca.org/projects/openca/downloads.shtml Will that work for Centos 5? Gee I should just spin up a box, try it and see if it crashes and burns....... Given the interest in OpenCA in edu and k-12, it would be nice to see this readily available. Of course I am biased, as I lurk on the various edu PKI forum.

How much space is left on whatever partition /var is mounted on? Your comment about SA causing the huge log reminded me of the time I filled /var due to spewage from a bad configuration.

Need to do some careful moving...
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

When I built this new Centos 5 drive, I copied over much of my old data using cp, and did not use the -preserve option. Ouch. I need those file create dates so that documents and such sort properly, historically. I recovered much of my stuff from a tar built back in mid-May (but I missed that the tar backup ended abnormally, as I was tar-ing to a USB attached drive formatted FAT32, and at 4Gb, it stopped). Now I want to copy all of my newer files into this recovered directory. The -u option of cp and mv will do the wrong thing, of course. I want to only copy files that are NOT present in the recovered directory. I will of course still be stuck with a lot of files with a Jun 18 date that were created between the backup date and Jun 18, but at least I will be better off.... Perhaps I do a mv -f from the recovered to the misdated directory? Being careful to protect those few files that HAVE really been modified since the backup? Oh, I am talking about 30k files here.....

CentOS 5 & USB Kickstart?
by Jiann-Ming Su 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Is anybody else having problems with CentOS 5 not loading the usb drivers for kickstart installations? I'm passing "linux ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg," but I get a message saying it can't find the ks.cfg file and I should enter another path. I use the exact same boot options with CentOS 4 without any problems. What am I missing with CentOS 5? Thanks for any tips. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.

TinyCA2 on rpmforge EL4 but not EL5
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

I want to install TinyCA2 on my Centos5 setup. I had a real learning experience the last time around (last year, July) and in the end, I got the repo down from Dag's site and was cool. Now I am on Centos 5 and no TinyCA2. Can I just download the EL4 rpm from: http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repoview/tinyca2-0-0.7.5-2… and do a yum localinstall ? Or do I have to wait for it to appear as an EL5 rpm?

Battery status indicator in CentOS 4.4
by Andrew Allen 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

I've got CentOS 4.4 installed on 3 machines - two laptops and a PC. Only one, a HP Omnibook 900, shows the graphical battery status indicator (in the bottom right of the screen), but the other laptop (a new Dell Inspiron 1501) doesn't show it. Furthermore, the command /usr/bin/apm gets the response 'no apm support in kernel' - I've tried yum-updating the kernel and installing apm but to no avail. Any suggestions please as it's obviously very useful/necessary to have a battery indicator! Andy
