For building my local repo, how large is 5.4 update?
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I have run a local repo for Centos updates for some time. I suppose, at this point I could just delete the 5.3 update directory and rsync the 5.4 directory... But how large is the 5.4 update directory? Oh, just for i386, without /debug and is there anything else I should not include? For example for my FC11 update repo I also exclude drpms.

on emacs startup no fonts, just little empty boxes
by ken 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Just upgraded CentOS to (uname) "Linux 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.plus #1 SMP Fri Oct 9 12:34:43 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" and since then, when emacs (version 21.4.1) starts up (using emacs -Q), where there should be text there are only little empty boxes, each the size of character. The error message reads: Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct I've tried running "emacs --font <font-spec>" with different font specs, but all of them error'd out also. "fc-list" shows 156 fonts available... you'd think emacs would be able to grab one of them and be happy with it. What's emacs doing or trying to do? Anybody have a 5.4 issue with fonts? tia for any help. -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake

EMC CX4 Clariion
by Antonio da Silva Martins Junior 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, We had received a new EMC storage (Clariion CX4) and the EMC analist has told us that CentOS aren't on their support list, but RHEL are :) Well anybody on the list has a CentOS host talking (iSCSI) with an EMC storage, preferably using the EMC Powerpath software, and can talk about you experience? Or I will need to buy some REHL licenses ? I'll put my hands on it only next week, but I'm trying to get prepared to do it :) Thanks in advance, Antonio. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.

by hadi motamedi 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Dear All Please be informed that I checked for the presence of internal modem on my CentOS server , as the followings : #dmesg |grep -i modem #lspci |grep -i modem #lshw |grep -i modem According to the output , it seems that my CentOS client does not contain internal modem . So I decided to add external USB modem and make use of an PCAnyWhere like application that enables for Remote PC Access . Can you please do me favor and let me know how can I add the external USB modem to my CentOS host and please propose for an PCAnyWhere like application that can be installed on my CentOS client and enables for remote dialup connection (as the PCAnyWhere does for the MS Windows clients) ? Let me thank you in advance Regards H.Motamedi

Madwifi drivers afeter 2.6.18-128.
by Alessandro Ren 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I have a atheros wiifi card on my Centos 5 that I use as a access point using hostapd. I noticed that after the upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-128 or above, the atheros driver comes with the kernel, ath5k, and it does´t let hostpad ou iwconfig set master mode on the card. Up to kernel 2.6.18-92 is workedd just fine using madwifi from rpmforge. Any ideas on that? Tks. __________________________________________________

Running SSH on a different port
by ML 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

HI All, With my new firewall in place, it has opened my eyes to how much traffic gets blocked in a single day and also what are the most active rules. I get *a lot* of requests for port 22. How does one switch ssh ports? What is a good port to use? What ramifications does it have when I need to ssh in? Is it as simple as ssh user@hots:port? Best, -ML

Need some help with logwatch.
by James B. Byrne 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I am trying to get a logwatch summary emailed to a central address from a cron job. The tasd was copied verbatim from a system which does this already. Both are shown below. host1 crontab -l as root 45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd --service pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service zz-disk_space --service zz-network --service zz-sys --mailto support(a)harte-lyne.ca host2 crontab -l as root 45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd --service pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service zz-disk_space -- service zz-network --service zz-sys --mailto support(a)harte-lyne.ca #Logwatch summary My problem is that only the first gets delivered to support(a)harte-lyne.ca. The second gets delivered to root(a)host2.harte-lyne.ca and not to support. It has been a considerable time since I dealt with logwatch on the first machine and I cannot remember is there was any special configuration of logwatch itself to enable this to happen. Does anyone know what I might be overlooking? The curious thing is that if I cut and paste the host2 cron job entry into a terminal window that is logged in as root on host2 then the logwatch report goes to support as I intend. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
