PXE Booting floppy image
by Joseph L. Casale 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Anyone know the correct syntax for specifying a floppy image in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file? I am trying to use: label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk FDIMAGE discimage.img But when I select it the menu, I get a message saying "Automatic boot in 30 seconds" and nothing happens. I would use: label Dos Bootdisk 2 MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk 2 kernel memdisk append initrd=discimage.img but this is a 2.88meg floppy and memdisk wont boot it? Thanks! jlc

BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.2 triggers SE Linux denial
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi. I've installed BackupPC 3.1.0 from Testing repository, to Cent OS 5.2 x86_64, and I am hitting an SE Linux denial - the httpd cannot talk to the BackupPC socket: type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc: denied { connectto } for pid=11767 comm=httpd path=/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc: denied { write } for pid=11767 comm=httpd name=BackupPC.sock dev=md0 ino=39813253 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=sock_file Is there an easy way to fix this, like setting the BackupPC.sock file universally writeable? I don't know SE Linux and right now my objective is to get BackupPC up and running. I've turned SE Linux off for now, but that's temporary until I get a more targeted fix. Thanks, Aleksey

gnome-session missing "--silent" switch
by Lorenzo Quatrini 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi, following this documentation (http://tinyurl.com/66z6ly) I found that on the version currently shipped whith CentOS 5 (2.16.0) is missing the "--silent" switch for use with gnome-session-save Do you know a workaround to accomplish the same result of "gnome-session-save --kill --silent" wich save and close the current session without user intervention? Or can you point me on the right direction to rebuild the SRPM with the patch for this bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149447)? thanks, Lorenzo Quatrini

I asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable distro for our business use than Fedora which we have used for years. His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of recent Fedoras (at least since 7) that allows a user to login as himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user feature). Is that feature available or is it planned? Thanks. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA

Restricting User Rights massively
by Dirk H. Schulz 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi folks, is it possible to restrict the rights of a user to only do few, defined actions, e.g. only look up cpu and memory usage, but not walk around in the file system, not see any other hardware details, run any binaries/scripts? I know several different techniques to achieve parts of this (like chrooting him), but is there one technique to get it all? Dirk

how to install BackupPC on CentOS 5.2 -- use Testing repository
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi. I just installed CentOS for the first time, to make a BackupPC server. However, when I try to install BackupPC using yum, I get the error: No package backuppc available. I searched the Testing, Extras and CentOS Plus repositories, and found a BackupPC package only in Testing, at http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.cen… which I downloaded directly. Just posting this in case somebody else has a similar issue. Best, Aleksey
