Rebuild libc-client from uw source?
by Noah Miller 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

Hi - I'm running CentOS 5.2, and I'm trying to use libc-client, but I'm having some troubles. It seems the pre-built libc-client (2004g) rpm from the yum repository doesn't support the mm_dlog feature. I tried rebuilding from the source rpm, but that didn't help - still no mm_dlog support. I also tried various other libc-client rpms for other RedHat-type systems FC, WhiteBox, etc, but I couldn't find any that worked and had mm_dlog support. My question: Does anybody know what I would need to do to build libc-client from scratch from UW's sources? I tried a basic build and I do get c-client.a, but I definitely don't get any shared object libraries in the output. Thanks, Noah

HAL Daemon failure on boot up
by Dick Roth 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

I've been having a problem for a while: when booting, haldaemon will fail, leaving me without CD/DVD and floppy drives available. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so, can anyone suggest a solution?

BackupPC: two newbie questions
by Timothy Murphy 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

I'm running BackupPC under Centos-5.2. 1. Will BackupPC backup files in NFS-mounted directories? If so, is there any simple way of preventing this? 2. I have seen it suggested that it is not a good idea to backup onto a partition on the same drive as the BackupPC server? Is that true? If so, is a partition on a separate drive on the same machine also bad? Ps Apologies if this has been posted before; I have had some problems communicating with mailing lists. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Thanks Bill for your concern and tips, but it is me who accidentally change the file permission when I run chown command with the wrong parameter.

AHCI at boot?
by Gordon McLellan 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

I'm having trouble getting a Centos installation to boot on a system with hdd's hanging off an AHCI hba. Long ago, I posted about only seeing four of the six sata ports on my asus server board. According to research I've done since then (I now need the ports!), the solution is to enable the AHCI bios, which turns on NCQ and the last two ports. The already installed system does not like the fact I've changed to ahci and does not load the ahci module, eventually failing to boot complaining it cannot mount the root fs, killing init, etc. If I boot off the 5.2 installation dvd or a fedora 9 dvd, the kernel boots just fine, loads up the ahci module and sees the drives no problem. So I'm wondering what config files I need to tweak, to help the already installed system use the "new" ahci controller? Previously, it appears to have been using the piix module to access the drive with the root fs on it. I'm using the 64-bit 2.6.18-92.1.18 centosplus kernel (for XFS support). The box is running an asus dsbf-de board, with 2x e5405 cpus and 16g of ram. There are six drives on the ahci, one 80g "system" drive (the boot drive), and five 750g storage drives. There is also a supermicro 8 port sata hba in the system, with five 250g drives on it. The supermicro uses the sata_mv module and is detected just fine. Thanks for any suggestions! Gordon

Kerberos for squid auth
by Joseph L. Casale 21 Dec '08

When you use kinit to acquire a Kerberos ticket prior to joining a Win2k3 domain with net ads join -U <upn> is that ticket merely used for the join that follows? When it expires does this mean anything? Thanks, jlc

FTPS setup problem
by Guy Boisvert 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website for us and we want them to access securely our development server. Internally, we access it with regular FTP (we use DreamWeaver 8). In the references i saw, i'd just add the following lines and it is supposed to work: ssl_enable=YES allow_anon_ssl=NO force_local_data_ssl=NO force_local_logins_ssl=NO ssl_tlsv1=YES ssl_sslv2=YES ssl_sslv3=NO rsa_cert_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem Here are the previous lines in my vsftpd config: anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES xferlog_std_format=YES chroot_local_user=YES chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.chroot_list pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES listen=YES tcp_wrappers=YES I generated the PEM cert with the following command: openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem -out /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem I tried to connect with FileZilla without luck. I heard that FileZilla may have a problem with vsftpd in FTPS mode so i downloaded SmartFTP which i read should be able to connect. When i try, i get this error message: SSL/TLS client handshake failed (Error = 0x80090308) Does anybody could give me a pointer on this? Thanks in advance and happy holidays to everybody!
