Simple shared authentication method
by Lorenzo 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi all, I'm setting up an old server to became the core server of our local lug and I'm on trouble choosing an easy yet powerful method for authentication. I think it would be nice to have a single method for authenticating local accounts, email, joomla and so on, and to be able to add another server and use the same method in the future. I am looking now at openldap but I start thinking it's too complex for the task of single sign on... or at least I am missing an easy graphical tool to setup just users and passwords (ldapbrowser and directory_assistant aren't working, and I don't have too much time to spend on learning command-line tools). Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy Single Sign On server? Tia Lorenzo Quatrini p.s. Of course all the above under CentOS 5 ;)

building cobbler on centos
by Karl R Balsmeier 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues? I am only writing this because I tried, and ran into quite a few dependency issues with upstream/downstream packages, and would rather concentrate on just getting a nice working Cobbler (and Puppet too for that matter). Not looking for responses for the sake or responses per se, -i'm happy to do what's needed, but not seeing any repos for it either so.... -krb

Program that opens documents with their associated program
by bgschaid_lists＠ice-sf.at 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

This may be a TOTALLY trivial question (and maybe inappropriate for this list), but I don't know where else to ask it: On my Mac I've got this wonderful command line utility that opens documents with the program that is associated to them in the Finder (the graphical file manager) like they were clicked in the file-manager. For instance: if I type open testdocument.doc it opens the file with Word or OpenOffice (whatever is associated with the document type .doc). This is quite convenient (don't have to leave the shell to open a document) My question: Is there a similar command on CentOS (or more specifially GNOME, because obviously it has to take the associations from some kind of GUI-filemanager)? I was looking around, but this is the kind of question where googling doesn't turn up anything useful unless you know the name of the command. Thanks

Looking for recommendations.... On WinXP, I use MusicMatch Jukebox version 9 for all my tinkering with mp3s. What do you guys use that would match the functionality of MMJB? I'm mainly interested in the music library setup of MMJB... -- --- David Woyciesjes

Hi, I got a few centos 5 boxes installed for tests and find the following confusing messages from dmesg command: Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole Memory: 4043392k/5242880k available (2397k kernel code, 150460k reserved, 1222k data, 196k init) The machine has only 4GB memory chips installed only, so where comes the number 5242880k for memory?

Sorry for being rude, but in the meantime, what's wrong with a copy of Scientific Linux 5 LiveCD?! ftp://ftp.psi.ch/psi/livecd/pub/50/ Except for the artwork, it should be closer to CentOS 5 than anything else.

Hi All, My CentOS 5.0 is running on x86 machine with 4GB RAM. It runs as a webserver and there is a small java applet application. When the system is fresh reboot, there is below 1GB of used memory and as times go , the used memory increased to over 3.5GB. Is there a way to free memory out like those program which works under Windows? Thank you.
