Zaptel wont detect card after centos5.2 kernel update.
by Alessandro Ren 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

I've been using asterisk in a server since CentOS 5.0 without problems, using the same RPMS and I've done all kernel updates. Yesterdey, after updating to the latest kernel from CentOS 5.2, the zaptel dont detect my card. I had to downgrade the kernel. I tried to compile the last zaptel drivers on the new kernel and the same problem accurs. [].s Alessandro Ren

RE: [CentOS] African IP addresses list

> I would like to add something, as a South African citizen. South Africa, is NOT part of Africa for that matter, it's a republic on it's own. It's almost like saying "Let's ban America, cause someone in Mexico spammed me". South Africa, which is on the 196/8 range does a LOT of business overseas in many countries, and I do want to warn that you could loose a lot of good business due to this practice. Most of the fraud you experience could come from Nigeria, or one of the other central & western Africa countries. To ban a whole continent because of problems some countries cause could be problematic. For that matter is China a different country from Russia, from Switzerland, even though they share the same land mass -- I need to put my 2c in here. I'm from New Zealand, we are a first world democratic country (the first in the worlds to give the vote to ALL adults I may mention). I have had the misfortune many of times of being unable to transact business because people from the US in their ignorance think, that New Zealand, isn't that part of Australia, which is right next to Asia, can't do business with those Asians, they will rip me off. Now sometimes people from the US have asked me why people in the other parts of the world get a bit annoyed at the "the only country that is free and true if the good old US of A" attitude, and well here you go as an example. Lets ban all of Africa because someone from Nigeria is a scammer. Africa is a pretty big place, and you know what, I've met many South Africans that are real nice (even employed a few). I've always been someone who defends America when people run it down, but it is a two way street, don't treat a whole country as criminals because you don’t know the difference between one side of a continent from another, its kind of insulting you know. And some day you might well need the rest of us, you never know.

EPIA-M board for Centos
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Is there any problems using this board? I have a dead board in a Book-PC (board size 10.5"x6") so am looking for a new board. Actually I want 2 LAN ports. 'Router' boards with enough umph to run Centos are expensive. I can pick up a VIA epia-m with 512Mb memory for $70 including shipping, so this is rather attractive option. I do have a 100Mb low-height PCI board that I can use. Fitting the board and card into the Book-PC box will be a bit of DIY engineering, but other than maybe loosing the front USB ports (big deal in the case), looks manageable. thanks for any experience/advise.

For some reason I'm no longer seeing copies of my own messages. I've checked http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos and the preferences setting is still fine. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks Anne

Torrent sharing question
by John Bowden 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Hi Folks. Just a quick question. I have been sharing CenOS 5.0 and 5.1 since I down loaded them. Now we are on to 5.2 is it still worth sharing them or can I archive them to DVD and save some hard drive space?

African IP addresses list
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Hi all, I am trying to block all IP addresses from Africa due to a high rate of fraudulent orders coming from them. I have some found some websites that can generate a range of IP addresses. However, you would have to enter the ranges by country. I can use those perhaps but that would mean I would have to get the ranges for each country one by one. Has anyone here a list of addresses from Africa already? It would definitely be a time saver for me. My firewall uses IP blocking by CIDR. Thanks, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Missing update announcements for C4 i386 / x86_64
by Bernd Bartmann 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Hi, the latest updates for perl, xorg-x11, net-snmp, openoffice.org for C4 were announced for the ia64 and s390(x) archs, but not for i386 and x86_64 altough they are available on the updates mirrors. Also, what is the policy for announcements of updates that occurred after the C5.2 release? I see them on the update mirrors. Shouldn't these update be also announced independently from the C5.2 release announcement? Best regards, Bernd.
