vmware 1.0.4 lock up on install
by Jerry Geis 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I am not having a good experience with vmware. Twice I have tried it today and it locks up my machine. First attempt was to install centos 4.5 i386. It told me it could not find anything to install on. After a post to the list I was instructed to not do typical, but custom and select LSILogic as the controller. I did and I got past that point. I then goto into an install with 6 minutes remaining on screen and another lock up. Anyone else experiences this with vmware. Is it something I am not doing or its just not going to work for me? I have a stock centos 4.5 X86 AMD X2 as my host and was installing a centos 4.5 i386 guest. Thanks, I was almost there. Jerry

Zimbra vs. Scalix vs. et. al.
by John Hinton 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Well, I stumbled onto zimbra.... I have a Scallix system built, but still have some rough edges to try to smooth. Like the way it works with sendmail, no dnsbl's will work as sendmail sees all mail as coming from locohost (scalix). Still battling that one which is when I ran across Zimbra. So, this made me start wondering. Are there other exchange server-like products out there? Has anyone dealt with Scalix and Zimbra (or another from the question above) and would you care to post pros and cons to each? Some of the cons to me with Scalix. It uses it's own directory structure which is non-sensical to any admin. Each seems to be assigned on a numbering system.. finding who has what where is not fun and I fear will be a nightmare in the future. Sendmail milters work fine to a point, but there is the limit of filtering using dnsbl's and it appears it will require setting up sendmail as the receiver, passing to scalix, passing back to sendmail, passing back to scalix and the user mail boxes... adding an extra loop. Shared folder are nice.. shared calendars are pretty good although I don't see a way to sort by user are even really see immediately for which user the event exists. You can drag and drop from Outlook IMAP a file directly to the server, but internally we don't use outlook... but for other clients this could be nice. So, how are those Zimbra installs going and what's the scoop? Thanks, John Hinton

DNAT PREROUTING issue with iptables
by Indunil Jayasooriya 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi, I have an DNAT ISSUE with PREROUTING. This is my setup. I have 2 firewalls running iptables. Pls asume 1.2.3.4/29 is the internet interace of FIRST firewall. 2.3.4.5/29 is the internet interface of SECOND firewall. it has DMZ zone. in that DMZ zone, mail server runnig @ 192.168.100.3 Now I want to DNAT port 25 of FISRT firewall (i.e - its ip address - 1.2.3.4/29) to the internet ip address ( 2.3.4.5/29) of SECOND firewall. That firewal DNATs port 25 to mail server @ 192.168.100.3 in DMZ zone. These are rules I have added. FIRST firewall (its internet ip address - 1.2.3.4/29) I have addes below rule. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 2.3.4.5:25 That should forward port 25 to SECOND firewall. in SECOND firewall, I have added 2 below rules. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 2.3.4.5 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3:25 iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT Now, it should forward port 25 to mail server @ DMZ Zone. I think I have added these rules properly. But, It does not work. I checked from outside world . I telneted to port 25 of first firewaal. Then, It should forward to mail server @ DMZ zone. But, no responce. WHY is that? YOUR IDEAS? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Formatting a large disk
by Rajeev R Veedu 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I need to install Centos on a machine with 3tb raid disk. (3 ware raid card) Could someone in the list suggest a utility for partition this disk. I would like to have the whole disk in 1 partition and format it for ext3. The default partitioning utility doesn't do this. The OS sits on another SATA disk and each time during the installation it doesn't format the full disk which is 3TB. Could someone suggest another disk partitioning utility (other than fdisk) please? Thanks Rajeev R. Veedu

[T-dose-announce] Screenshots of your fav opensource software or desktop ( high resolution - 1002-768 ) for slide show on t-dose (fwd)
by Dag Wieers 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi CentOS users, The centos-promo team is looking for your help. Is anyone interested in creating nice CentOS screenshots ? We can have them on the wiki as well for future articles or presentations. A good screenshot should: + Be clear on what it is showing - applications like eg. inkscape should have a file opened - files opened in applications should make clear what the application does - try not to show off too many things at once, in order to not overwhelm or confuse + The CentOS logo (and name) should be clearly visible - possibly by using the content in applications eg. inkscape could open the SVG CentOS logo with some text or Open Office could show an important CentOS slide that also holds the major advantages of CentOS - or making the background visible with CentOS theme Please let me know if you are interested to contribute in this fashion.

Fedora Core 5 EOL on 2007-06-29
by Akemi Yagi 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Ahem, I know this is a CentOS mailing list. BUT, as more and more people migrate from FC to CentOS, I thought placing this reminder here was worthwhile. [I am still running *cough* FC5 on my own desktop, so I am also running out of time] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-June/msg00006.html Happy Centosing! Akemi

vmware server 1.0.4 and centos 4.5 i386 install
by Jerry Geis 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi all, I tried to install centos 4.5 i386 as a guest on an AMD x2 machine today. It told me it did not find any install media. I had created an 8G disk for it. Is there a SCSI driver I need to "Add" when prompted? I have never used SCSI and dont know which SCSI controller vmware is emulating. What driver do I need to load? I was then surprised some time later when my machine locked up. Typically my machine is fine. only thing different is today I install vmware server 1.0.4. After the reboot it has been fine again - but I have not restarted vmware. Thanks, Jerry

Re: [tools] Why FC Packages in Centos Repository?
by Dag Wieers 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

On Mon, 24 Sep 2007, John Lee wrote: > Just curious, but why are there Fedora packages in Centos5 base > repository? (i.e. blahblah.fc6.rpm) Are they compatible with CentOS? That is a very good questions and I personally veel very sad that Red Hat chose to do this. RHEL5 (and CentOS 5) are based on development done on Fedora Core 6. Red Hat started off with Fedora Core 6 when creating RHEL5. After some considerable QA, they were stuck with packages from Fedora Core 6 that were tagged with fc6 and were not rebuild for RHEL5, but verbatim copied from FC6. Because they did not want to recompile and retag these packages, because it required them to redo QA, they chose to ship RHEL5 with the verbatim Fedora Core 6 packages. As a result, CentOS chose to keep the original package names, including the fc6 tag for maximum compatibility. Even when it is confusing as hell ! Be aware though that the fc6-tagged packages in RHEL5 are verbatim copied packages from Fedora Core 6, but that on CentOS 5 the fc6-tagged packages are newly rebuild packages on a CentOS 5 system. CentOS 5 (in contract to RHEL5) is completely self-hosting and CentOS is particularly proud of this. We actually did what Red Hat failed to do. But we have the legacy fc6-tag from RHEL5. I hope this clears it up. PS This also means that some, but not all the Fedora Core 6 packages work on RHEL5. That is one of the confusing parts of reality. In all cases you are better off with el5-tagged packages than fc6-tagged packages. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
