Skype Public Key - How to install PGP Public Key in CentOS5, from alternate site that I have in web browser?
by Lanny Marcus 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Hello: A simple question: On this Wiki page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype it says that the normal method for the Public Key isn't working. I copied the URL for the alternate key location http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/infosys/phone/skype/rpm-public-key.asc into the browser and I get a PGP Public Key. Question: What rpm command do I use, to Import the Public Key that's in the browser window? Or, if I need more than one command, what are they? >warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID d66b746e >Public key for skype-2.0.0.27-centos.i586.rpm is not installed TIA and Happy New Year! -- Lanny --------------------------------------------------------- Over 800 Magazine titles up to 85% off http://lowcostmagazines.com/

Mail server setup for small ISP
by Ugo Bellavance 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Hi, I will probably have to design an e-mail (and other components) infrastructure for a small ISP soon (WISP). I'm doing some research to determine which components would be best to offer e-mail services to their client and allow the staff to manage accounts easily. I usually use virtual machines a lot for isolation and easy backups and migration (when a hardware node is underpowered, it is easy to migrate one or more virtual machines to another hardware node easily). I have looked at iSCSI and drbd for high-availability of the storage: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/realworld/82284/san-on-the-cheap/page1.html. This looks like it should be doing a great job of high availability storage. For mail server, I guess I should look at an MTA and IMAP/POP server that supports LDAP and/or MySQL for users. Postfix should be a good choice for MTA, as I know it (at least a little, but I know sendmail better). For IMAP/POP, I'm not sure... Would dovecot be sufficient, or should I try cyrus. I'd rather use components that are available for base or extras repository (or rpmforge). I think that squirrelmail and horde would do a good job for webmail. There shoudn't be any troubles having some redundancy for DNS, web servers, mtas, but what about IMAP/POP? linux-HA? MySQL replication should be enough, I guess. Or maybe linux-HA as well. I wonder if I should add GFS to the mix to have multiple IMAP/POP servers use the same storage. Or maybe IMAP proxies? Any insights welcome :). Ugo

Some repo fancy footwork?
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

I am looking at K12LTSP-EL5 which is Centos 5 based. Supposedly their disc2 maps to Centos 1of6 and so forth. I have a repo of the Centos 5.1 isos: /centos/5/os/i386 The question is can I put the K12LTSP disc 1 in a directory: /centos/k12ltsp-el5/i386 then with some logical link magic make this directory appear to have all 7 CDs worth of content? Or put the k12 disc 1 somewhere else and do 2 logicla mappings into one directory?

Which RPM of Hylafax+ should I use?
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

I want to install Hylafax+, IAXmodem, and T38modem on my Trixbox 2.4 which is built on Centos 5.1 ("vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5"). Over at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148904 there are Hylafax+ rpms for: Fedora 7,8 Fedora Core 2,5,6 Redhat 7,9 I **think** Fedora Core 6? IAXmodem is only available in source at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148814 (TB only has it an rpm for Centos 4.x). So if anyone knows of an rpm of iaxmodem 1.0 for Centos 5.... And T38modem is a real challenge to find....

rhel source to updates?
by Michael A. Peters 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

I noticed on the rhel errata page: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2008-0001.html that they have made a configuration change to fontconfig for the liberation fonts. I have the liberation fonts installed via rebuild of fedora 8 src.rpm - including a fontconfig file. I'm guessing the update will come through CentOS at some point and I'm trying to make sure there isn't a file conflict with my rpm and the update that would prevent installation - but I can't seem to find the sources for rhel updates. I'm kicking myself because I found them before, didn't bookmark them, but I can't seem to find them now. http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/ doesn't seem to have anything for rhel5 The files in my f8 liberation rebuilt that I'm worried about conflicting with the update are: /etc/X11/fontpath.d/liberation-fonts /etc/fonts/conf.d/59-liberation-fonts.conf I'm a little bit amazed that they are including an update for a configuration for fonts they don't seem to package, not sure why they are doing it - that doesn't seem to be their style, but anyway, does anyone know who mirrors the rhel src.rpm updates for free software packages?

System drops off network after a few minutes
by Joseph L. Casale 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

I have an Intel SE7525RP2 motherboard with a Yukon Marvel (82541GB controller) NIC in it. After installing CentOS 5.1 it functions fine for some minutes then looses network connectivity. By coincidence, I was using the system to clean some HD's for another and had booted off Knoppix and noticed it never exhibited this behavior, the network remained functional even overnight when I returned to the system? I looked through messages and didn't see anything NIC/network related, can anyone suggest something to check? Thanks! jlc

yum error "AttributeError: LOCATION_BASE" after 4.5 -> 4.6 upgrade
by Joe Klemmer 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hello all, I am having a problem running yum after doing the 4.6 upgrade. I did a live update through yum and no problems were encountered. However, now when I try to run yum (with any commands/options) I get this error right after loading/reading the repo's - eading repository metadata in from local files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 102, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 489, in doCommands ypl = self.returnPkgLists() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 1085, in returnPkgLists ypl = self.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow=pkgnarrow) File "__init__.py", line 993, in doPackageLists File "packageSack.py", line 148, in searchNevra File "packageSack.py", line 236, in _computeAggregateListResult File "sqlitesack.py", line 514, in searchNevra File "sqlitesack.py", line 403, in db2class File "/var/tmp/python-sqlite-root//usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/sqlite/main.py", line 97, in __getattr__ AttributeError: LOCATION_BASE Running "yum clean all" seems to work but the error does not go away. I know less than nothing about python so that doesn't help. I also did a search through the list archives and on Google but couldn't come up with anything (OC, I may not have been asking the right questions). The server has a bad optical drive so I can't boot into the rescue CD (yet, I've got a replacement coming). Whenever it gets here I'll be updating to 5.1 but in the mean time there's some security fixes that have come down the pipe which I can't update to due to yum being petulant. If anyone can shed some light on this or point me in the right direction to get this fixed it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Joe -- Using Linux since 11/91 | http://www.linux.org Linux user #29402 | http://counter.li.org/ CentOS Linux | http://www.centos.org

Hello all, I have ipvsadm-1.24 installed, and there's an error when the service starts: Applying IPVS configuration: /etc/init.d/ipvsadm: line 62: /etc/sysconfig/ipvsadm: No such file or directory is the install broken? I did a "yum whatprovides ipvsadm" and it does say there's a config, but doesn't point to where it is. any suggestions? -- --------------- Morpheus: After this, there is no turning back.
