NIS probs - Login and no home dir -help
by Scott Ehrlich 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I'm trying to configure two things on my RH 5 server with dual-boot CentOS 5 (out-of-box) and Windows XP w/SP2 (fully patched) clients: - NIS/NFS: I have managed to get user logins, but all accounts produce Can't Find Home Directory, Using Root! The error logs, when trying to mount any NFS directory, is the server claims permission denied. I've reviewed many web pages and reviewed my config files carefully. Just a matter of finding the winning config. Firewall and SELinux are disabled, and the machines have been rebooted many times. - Samba: Ideally, I think if I can get NIS/NFS working fine, it would make sense that when Windows users log in (I've gotten samba to permit the XP systems to be added to samba with samba acting as the PDC), they log into their UNIX accounts. But, upon attempted login, Windows produces the famed small alert window saying Roaming Profiles cannot be located, Windows is creating a temporary environment that will not be saved upon logout. What is the magical Samba config/line to permit Samba/domain logins to read from the server's UNIX side and give the Windows domain user their UNIX home directory for login, and have their UNIX home directory as a mapped drive (effectively their roaming profile)? Thanks. Scott

using centos for mutli VM linux appliance
by Venkat Subbiah 29 Aug '07

Please also think about starting a thread with a new message > Sorry about that folks. Starting a new thread. May want to check out the VMware CentOS appliances as examples: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/820 http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/ > The appliance itself will host multiple Virtual Machines. Looks like we are leaning towards VMWare for the virtual machines. What we are thinking about it what to used as the guest OS and how do we develop and manage the guest OS itself. Thx, Venkat

centos5 iptables expert needed
by Dave 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hello, I'm setting up a centos5 router for a friend. It will direct traffic to an internal webserver, already in place, as well as run squid proxy. It should do nat and have a firewall with iptables. I've set up routers before for this purpose but always of the bsd type and using their firewalls. I understand the concepts, nat, packet filtering, etc. but i'm not getting iptales at all. If anyone is an expert on this i'd appreciate hearing from you. I have what are probably basic questions, i've read the docs, but i am lost. Thanks. Dave.

Any DNS zone files generation tools to recommend?
by Robinson Tiemuqinke 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi, Any one would like to suggest an tool for large-sacle multiple-networks, multiple-views DNS zone files automatic generation? The DNS configuration tool comes with Centos 5 distribution, system-config-bind, looks like more improvment is in need; I've come upon a tool h2n, which create zone files from a static hosts file, looks like better. But I don't know pupular the h2n perl script is in use, and whether there are any other better/modern tool(s) to begin with. Any one can shed a light on this topic? Thanks a lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.

Or, in extreme cases, I'll write a small utility script. Or, more commonly, I'll write a huge inline Perl monstrosity that really should have been done as a utility script. (It's really hard to sort out nested loops and conditionals without any formatting...) -- Bowie

CentOS 4.5: Automounted USB disks eventually stop appearing on desktop
by Bart Schaefer 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

This is just a minor annoyance, but I wondered if anyone has any insights. When I first boot the system and log in to Gnome, and then plug in e.g. a USB stick or compact flash card, I get an icon for it on the desktop. I can right-click on this icon to "eject" the filesystem, etc. Eventually, though, for no obvious reason, this stops working and I no longer get an icon when I insert a USB device. The automount is still happening; I can still navigate to the device under /media with Nautilus, and I can still umount it from a shell as a nonprivileged user. What process is supposed to be noticing the new mount and adding the icon? Any clues as to why it would stop doing so?

Can't print from Firefox
by Niki Kovacs 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi, I've just installed CentOS 5.0 on my father's laptop, in replacement of Windows XP. Everything runs fine, except I can't seem to print from Firefox. So far, I can print a test page from the CUPS interface (as root). As user, printing works fine from applications such as GEdit or OpenOffice.org Writer. But I can't print anything from Firefox. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs
