Fedora user moving to CentOS
by Tim Alberts 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Greetings, I'm a Fedora user likely going to switch to CentOS in the next few days. I'm wondering if anyone has some heads up advice for me? I am very familiar with FC6 and before so I anticipate few problems I haven't already seen (and know were fixed). The main reason for the move is so I don't have to re-install so frequently and hopefully not have to deal with so many daily updates. I would use the 'upstream vendor' (respectfully), but I work under no IT $ budget.

glibc error ???
by Robert - elists 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

On a centos 4.6 box rpm -qa | grep glib glib-1.2.10-15 glibc-2.3.4-2.39 glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.39 glibc-common-2.3.4-2.39 dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.9 glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.100.EL glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.39 glib2-2.4.7-1 I am getting this type of error at times on a mail server *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbffa11b8 *** While I am researching this more, I am wondering if the rpm-qa | grep glib info above showing different version for kernheaders makes a difference in any way. There are lots of search hits out there for this yet I am wondering if I should be focusing on a certain glib area or in the application providing the error in the error logs - rh

Samba Fstab and Automount
by John 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

/etc/fstab: //machine_name/SAN /mnt/SAN cifs defaults 0 0 [root@machine_name SAN]# mount -a Password: mount error 13 = Permission denied Problem is there is no password to the smb server. Why am I getting a password prompt when the share has full RW access and all access is granted on the share? Note, though the share is fully visable and accessable and writeable by just browsing the network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok, now next up is automount. The Samba share will not auto mount on client either. ------------------------------------- /etc/auto.master /mnt/SAN /etc/auto.SAN -------------------------------------- /etc/auto.SAN machine_name -fstype=cifs,rw ://machine_name/SAN/ --------------------------------------- Anyone see anything wrong with the configuration? I also read the How To on the Wiki and no luck on doing the auto.smb.top and auto.smb.sub configuration? Any ideas what maybe going on? Thanks in advance for any help on this. Also this is posted in the Networking and Harware Forum on the centos.org Forums and No answer. -- ~/john OpenPGP Sig:BA91F079

Fwd: ath_pci in modprobe.conf on Centos/Fedora
by David Hláčik 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

hi friends, i am sending this to centos mailinglist as i didnt solved problem and guys from madwifi are probably dead, as they are not giving me any reply . Thanks D. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Hláčik <david(a)hlacik.eu> Date: Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 11:39 AM Subject: ath_pci in modprobe.conf on Centos/Fedora To: madwifi-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net Hi friends, i am loooking for help as i am unable to solve it by myself Scenario is following : I have two atheros cards, one works as AP (for local wifi network), second one as STA (connection to internet trought 13dB wifi anthena) My current scenario is that i am loading module with autocreate=none i have in modprobe.conf : options ath_pci autocreate=no and then in /etc/rc.local script i will create from wifi0 ap , from wifi1 station and configure other settings (ip adresses and so). What i am trying to do, is to put all configuration to modprobe.conf using install and remove directives What i want as a result is to create during startup and loading module AP from wifi0 (ath0) and STA from wifi1 (ath1) i have tried to put to modprobe.conf : ************************************************ install wifi /sbin/modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none; /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap; /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode sta remove wifi /sbin/modprobe -r ath_pci ************************************************ next what i want to do is not to load ath_pci module automatically during startup , but to load instead that wifi module , and here comes my problem, how can i do it?? If i try ************************************************ install ath_pci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ath_pci; /sbin/modprobe wifi install wifi /sbin/modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none; /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap; /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode sta remove wifi /sbin/modprobe -r ath_pci ************************************************ It does not work. Thanks in advance! David

build custom kernel
by David Hláčik 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi guys! i followed tutorial for building custom kernel for centos5 http://howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos with lastest kernel downloaded from kernel.org . in menuconfig i used /boot/config-(mycurrentcentoskernel) as a configuration. then i compiled with make rpm. Result was ok, but my kernel was about 400MB of size! :( Next problem was that alltought i we had ip_nat as a module selected in menuconfig, i did not had it, and i was not able to modprobe ip_nat , so my iptables were not working. I am looking for some help and experiences. Probably in thinks like : howto make new kernel for centos to be the most compatible (using /boot/config... probably). The reason why i need this is : - problem with pptpd on x64 centos 5.1 (causes freezing --- found that it is a kernel bug .. still not fixed in rhel - centos :( ) - problem with ath_pci (atheros module) which causes masine freezing after hours of use without any footprints in logs , tested that on fedora 8 this works stable :( Thanks in advance! David

Re: [CentOS] Enterprisable IP Camera recording/monitoring software
by Brent L. Bates 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

The problem with the script is that it currently only works on SGI's. I haven't had a chance to try and find/build/install Linux/Open Source equivalents. On SGI's, there is one command to take a list of JPEG files and dump out a single Quick Time file.
