Tape Drive and Bacula issue
by Joseph L. Casale 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I posted this in the Bacula list without success so I hope I might have some luck here. Btape and mt can access my DDS-3 Seagate Archive Python 06480-xxx tape drive but Bacula tray-mon ends up finally stating that it cannot open device /dev/nst0? That is the device string that I use to access the drive, oddly enough it also suggest the SD could not open the one file based storage location I have either, yet I can Label new media and I see it appears in the directory? I installed from RPM's. Anyone got any ideas or pointers they could suggest? Thanks! jlc

AltGr over vnc not working
by Kai Schaetzl 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I notice that when I connect from a Windows VNC client (any VNC distribution it seems) to the Centos desktop (Gnome) I cannot send AltGr key combinations. The vncserver on the CentOS side is vino from Gnome. I cannot check if the same happens when connecting from a CentOS machine to a CentOS machine, but it looks more like Gnome simply ignores AltGr when sent over VNC. Why would it do this? Where might I be able to change this? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Rejecting valid mail (including this mailing list)
by Sam Drinkard 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Recently, I added the below line to my sendmail.mc and rebuilt. Everything was working just fine until sometime today. In looking over the maillog, it seems if almost every piece of mail was rejected because of this configuration - mail that I know is OK, valid, and not a source of spam, like tamu.edu. Not only that, but the mailing list from centos was being rejected as well. Anyone know what might be happening? One link I ran across said that ordb.org went out of business or stopped their service in Dec of '06. If that's the case, why is their info still being listed in some of the sendmail configs, and others still advertising it's use. dnl # FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', `"550 Email rejected due to sending server misconfiguration - see http://www.ordb.org/faq/\#why_rejected"')dnl Sam

Re: News Groups (local) mirrored with mailinglists
by David Hláčik 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi, i want to know - how synchronization mailinglist <----> news works . I can set a name of a news group for mailinglist in mailman. Is it all that is necessary to do? I do understand one way - from mailman to news server, but what about the other side? How can i achieve it? Hope it is understable ... Mailman + INN My next question talks about INN f and pam authentification (pam ldap). Am i able to configure access to particular groups for particular users? (like user joe will have acces to com.disc and com.dad , and user ivan will have access only to com.disc ) ? Thanks in advance!

Frustration with yum
by Sam Drinkard 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I suppose it's more of a frustration with myself, but can some kind soul please help me with the procedure to tell yum a package is in fact installed? Here is the output from the command "yum update". # yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories kbs-CentOS-Extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 kbs-CentOS-Misc 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 rpmforge 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

I even went so far as to do an erase of both, and both times, yum shows them as being installed. Of course I did not erase them, but if it finds them to be installed, why does it say they are missing during an update attempt? I'm off the digest currently, so I can more quickly respond with further info if needed. Thanks.. Sam

AW: [CentOS] Securing SSH
by Marc Rebischke 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

So I setup ssh on a server so I could do some work from home and I think the second I opened it every sorry monkey from around the world has been trying every account name imaginable to get into the system. What's a good way to deal with this? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ######################### - Try to get a static ip from your isp and configure your Firewall only to allow Ssh-Traffic from your static IP-Adress - Take a closer look at "FailBan" to prevent Dictionary Attacks on well known Usernames - Ignore these poor souls (if they have one) Regards Marc Rebischke

Sendmail novrfy filter by ip address?
by Sean Carolan 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I have a virus and spam filter device that can do VRFY commands to reject invalid email before it gets to the next mail hop. How can I configure the SMTP server to only allow VRFY commands from one particular IP address, and nowhere else? I don't want spammers to be able to hammer on the gateway looking for valid addresses to send to.

question about network repositories
by Rudi Ahlers 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi I'm thinking about setting up a local / LAN respository for my CentOS, and probably other (Fedora Core) disto's, but have never done it before, so here's some questions: If I setup a repository, can it hold different distro's / architectures & versions? Say for example, CentOS 4 (i386 & x64), CentOS 5.0 & 5.1 (i386 & x64) - will each one have it's own folder? Will it also be possible to only download the packages that are needed, instead of the whole 4GB repository from the upstream provider? I have some of the CD's or DVD's for all of the distro's, so really only need a few packages now and then, and instead of getting them from the net everytime, get them from the LAN repository? Then, how would I do this? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stugg

RHEL on The Pirate Bay, Mininova, etc
by Simon Jolle sjolle 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi Centos Users Its _really_ nonsense to release RHEL version on file sharing networks. The only reason why RHEL is so popular on torrent trackers is the lack of knowledge about Centos :-) Conclusion: we should do more marketing :-) cheers Simon
