I'd say go the VM route if you can, safer, easier to un-screw when he breaks the whole thing, and certainly more dynamic(setup many systems so they can talk to each other etc), and likely save a lot on power. nate

Hi! I have an vb8001 and i try to make the lm_sensors to work .. i upgraded to latest version and in the end doesn't find the vt1211 driver ... is it packaged somewhere? (maybe elrepo but it doesn't find any vt1211 nor 1211 related packages) (of course this is on an Centos 5.4) Thanks, Adrian P.S. i tried to post to lm_sensors mail list but it seem that it is not working (nor http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors)

You would Thank you, to everyone who responded! In the end, it wasn't necessary for me to use the openssl command, as the man in OLM Tech Support had suggested to me earlier today. Eddy at StartCom (StartSSL) gave me the commands, to check the Modulus of the ssl.key and ssl.crt files, which I'd made this morning, after running into the problem and confusion, with the 1024 bit CSR from the old Ensim Control Panel and the 2048 bit files Start SSL created, and the Modulus were identical. I was able to Import them, successfully, with the Ensim Control Panel. So, after OLM restarts Apache, the encryption should work. This was a learning experience for me and I will reread this thread and try to learn more from it. Happy New Year and again, thank you, to everyone in this list who shares their time and expertise. Deeply appreciated!

RHCE
by Dan Burkland 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

I realize this is a CentOS mailing list but because it is based directly on RHEL, I would assume there are a few individuals who frequent the list that have passed the RHCE exam. I plan on taking the exam this March and was wondering if there are any tips you RHCEs out there could provide that may help me. Thanks! Dan

Centos & UPS
by Robert Spangler 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hello, I received for X-mas an APC UPS system form my computer. I'm looking for how I can integrate it into the system so that the system will shut down either after the UPS power is low enough or a timed event after the power is out will automatically shutdown. Would also like it to be smart enough to stop the shut down process if power is restored before the shutdown starts. Anyone have any recommendation for this setup? Thanks. -- Regards Robert Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org

NFS problem
by Timothy Murphy 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

I'm trying to NFS-mount a CentOS directory on my Fedora laptop, but I find I can only do this is I turn off the firewall on the CentOS server. If instead I go to system-config-securitylevel-tui on the server, and allow NFS4, this does not do the trick. Nor does allowing port 2049. What do I need to allow? [I should say that the CentOS server is remote, and difficult to access directly; that is why I used system-config-securitylevel-tui, rather than system-config-securitylevel .] -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
