OT: anything in CentOS 5.2 that uses opendns.com when browsing web?
by Lanny Marcus 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

I believe this is completely OT, but I want to be positive. I have a fully up to date CentOS 5.2 box. During the past week, when surfing with Firefox (and today, while testing with Konqueror), frequently, especially when DNS is slow, I am seeing references to opendns.com At times, I end up on opendns.com web pages, instead of at the web site I'm trying to get to. My ISP, the phone company, claims this is not coming from their end and that they are not using opendns.com. I was told they have two (2) DNS servers. I haven't changed anything in my IPCop Firewall/Router box and my belief is that this is coming from my ISP or upstream from there. . If using opendns.com is something new in CentOS 5.2, please let me know. TIA.

Power management and remote X sessions
by Steve Bergman 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

I have about 50 CentOS 4.x/5.x stations running as thin clients. So Gnome is running on the remote machine and the station is merely acting as an X terminal. I would like to enable some power management. I think I can control the monitor's dpms features and timeouts in the xorg.conf on the stations. But if I want to have the stations themselves go into standby mode after a set amount of time, what would be the best way to accomplish that? Thanks for any info, Steve Bergman

sysctl setting reset
by Steven 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hello, I have found the sysctl setting to net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max value reset everyday, may I know is there a way to set it permanently? I have set it to 150000, but it reset to 65535 in few hours. The running Centos is version 4 and kernel version is 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp. Do I need to reboot to have it set permanently? It seems that I need to run sysctl -p to re-read the /etc/sysctl.cnf. Thanks. - Steve

CUPS and system-config-printer question
by Al Sparks 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

I was tasked with migrating a bunch of printer entries from one box to another. What I did is I got a list of printer names along with IP addresses and using the CUPS lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v lpd://IP_ADDR/lp I loaded them onto the new machine running RHEL 4.6. Printer tests show that it works fine. And if I use the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631 Everything shows up. But if I launch the RH (and presumably CentOS works the same way) system-config-printer interface after adding the printers the CUPS way, nothing shows up in the RH interface. Probably not a big deal, but I have a colleague that will go nuts over this. He's attached to his interfaces, but there was no way I was going to manually enter those printers in that interface. Where do I look to make that interface "see" the CUPS-only printers? === Al

madwifi on Centos 5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5
by Kurt Hansen 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hello, I just installed Centos 5.2 on my wife's IBM thinkpad T41 with Atheros wireless. It looks like I need to install madwifi to get the wireless to work. Our home wireless network uses WPA2 I found the EL5 rpms at atrpms, but there is no madwifi-kmdl rpms for kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5. So, to get the wireless working on my home network, what's the shortest path from here? Install madwifi from source (was part the way there but discovered the rpms when I looked for the wpa_supplicant stuff)? Or, can I use one of the other madwifi-kmdl rpms? Or, go back to an earlier kernel? Thanks for your help! Take care, Kurt Hansen
