Hello, For some reason KMail is all but coming to a stand still when I open messages with any kind of signature. So I goto the configuration page of KMail Security Crypo Back ends and I see nothing is checked off. So I hit rescan and get the error that is listed in the attachment. Anyone else having this issue? -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org

.htaccess for script aliased directories
by Pam Astor 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

With the great assistance I got here I was able to get .htaccess to work on a centos 5.1 box running Apache 2.2.3 a few days ago. One other question. I am trying to protect a sub dir within the web space of a domain that is serving site statistics of awstats generated pages. The path to the dir is /home/user1/www/awstats. When testing, I am able to get a username and password prompt for the front page of the site, i.e. for www.mydomain.com, when I place the .htaccess file in www, but I can’t get a prompt for www.mydomain.com/awstats when I place the .htaccess in awstats. I am using the below script alias in the virtual domain conf.d file for this site the awstats directory is located in, so that awstats can generate the log file stats and alias them to the awstats dir which is empty: ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ I’m assuming that’s why I can’t get a login prompt – any suggestions as to how to protect the awstats dir with .htaccess for a script alias’ed directory? The .htaccess file which I was using and works fine for the main www dir is: AuthName “/www” AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/user1/.htpasswd Require user guest _________________________________________________________________ In a rush?

TCP/IP Port Relay
by Frank M. Ramaekers 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

What is the best way to temporarily setup a port relay. I'm trying to diagnose a problem with Cisco's latest VPN client and need to determine if the problem is port number related. e.g. VPN client---------23-(Linux box to relay port)-------xx-(Telnet server) (Keep in mind this is temporary and for debugging purposes) Thanks, Frank M.

tomcat5 - RHEL4.5 - CentOS 4.5
by Tom Brown 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hi I am seeing this issue on a RHEL4 box but i presume that the same will be for CentOS4.5 I am trying to get tomcat5 up and running using only upstream rpm's, as opposed to own rolled like i have done before, and hitting this issue. I have JAVA_HOME set in /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf and also in /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5.conf and when tomcat is started using the init script it starts up like so tomcat 30676 0.1 1.4 1275052 60324 pts/0 Sl 08:45 0:03 /usr/java/sun/jdk/1.4.2_13/bin/java -server -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -Djava.security.manager=java.rmi.RMISecurityManager -Dcatalina.ext.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat5/shared/lib:/usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib -Dcatalina.ext.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat5/shared/lib:/usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed -classpath /usr/java/sun/jdk/1.4.2_13/lib/tools.jar:/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/commons-logging-api.jar:/usr/share/java/mx4j/mx4j-impl.jar:/usr/share/java/mx4j/mx4j-jmx.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/tomcat5 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat5 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/tomcat5/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start However in the catalina.out i see this WARNING: unable to set your JAVA_HOME. This may cause problems for any java applications you run ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am : tomcat on hostname JAVA_HOME : /usr/jdk1.3.1_08 Any ideas why this is and where that JAVA_HOME is coming from? thanks

Thank you Ray, worked a treat. If like me you have never had to mess with the stage2.img file to fix installations issues, below shows what is required. cd ~ wget http://yourwebserver/centos5-dvd/images/stage2.img mkdir tmp mount -t squashfs -o loop stage2.img ./tmp cd tmp vi ./usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py # comment out dispatch.skipStep("network") at around line 876 or use Ray's patch. mkdir ../new-stage2 tar cf - . | ( cd ../new-stage2/ ; tar xf - . ) cd .. yum -y install squashfs-tools mksquashfs ./new-stage2/ stage2.img.new Now replace the stage2.img file on the web server with the stage2.img.new file, renamed to stage2.img of course.

OT -Recommendations relating to a Password Safe
by Clint Dilks 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Hi Everyone I am wondering if many people are using software that acts as a password safe. And if so can you recommend any software in particular? I know many people will disagree with this idea, and I myself have always followed the printed list stored in a secure location. But in our particular situation keeping this single list current and correct while ensuring that regular password changes happen is turning into a nightmare. Any suggestions welcome, have a nice day :)

by Bernd Bartmann 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Hi, the C5 updates to openoffice.org-2.0.4-5.4.26 are available on the mirrors, but no announcement has come through the centos-announce mailing list yet. Also, upstream has released gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-5.el5_1.1 and gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-8.el5 (FasTrack channel) beginning of April. Neither is available yet for C5. Best regards, Bernd.
