Re: [CentOS] FreeIPA
by Per Qvindesland 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I have heard rumours from some Red Hat employees that IPA will be integrated into Spacewalk this was about 1.5 months ago which would also make sense since Spacewalk is supposed to be their single point of management tool. But as I said it's rumours.

Rebuilding FreeIPA is probably possible too but how long will that be possible ? FreeIPA isn't looking at being backward compatible and don't focus on RHEL interopability. It can probably work for a certain time, but surely not as long as an Enterprise timelife ... That's maybe worth discussing it though. On the other hand, centos-ds is in the testing repo for a while and there were not a lot of feedback : the plan is/was to move it to extras when enough testing/reports have hit the -devel list ... -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

3rd party DNS
by Dnk 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Please reply off list as this is ot from CentOS. Just looking or a recommendation of a 3rd party DNS provider (my client prefers free) with a web based control pannel (I doubt there is any other way). One of the important features is being able to set the ttl levels. I just have not used any, so I am not sure what to recommend to them. Thanks in advance. D

Re: [CentOS] CentOS automatically blocks port 80 out-of-the-box

Let me clarify.

USB Thumb Drive Confusion
by Al Sparks 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I am running CentOS 4.7. I have a USB flash (thumb) drive that has a bunch of files placed there by Windows. I plugged it into the CentOS machine, and when I listed the files under "/media/usb-name", there was nothing there. I created an empty file: touch blah and it showed up when I did list it. I noticed, checking dmesg that it was attached to /dev/sdb. So I did a quick fdisk /dev/sdb I saw that it had a partition of type of W95 FAT16 under /dev/sdb1. How come I'm not able to see files placed on that device by XP/Vista machines when I plug it into the CentOS 4.7 machine, but I'm able to create a file on it, and list it? I did double-check and plugged that drive into my XP workstation and sure enough I was able to see all the files. === Al

I would reccomend afraid.org.

can't "make"
by Michael Klinosky 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello. I just fresh-installed 5.3 onto my laptop, and I have a problem trying to get wifi working. Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great! I'm using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG -- as I did for 5.2. The problem arises in section 6: [mpk@a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ make /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/build: No such file or directory Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop. [mpk@a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ ls ath BuildCaps.inc hal kernelversion.c Makefile.kernel README release.h THANKS ath_hal contrib include Makefile net80211 README.dfs scripts tools ath_rate COPYRIGHT INSTALL Makefile.inc patch-kernel regression SNAPSHOT Q: 'make' can be run as $ - correct? In another terminal: [root@a3680 tmp]# whatprovides build -bash: whatprovides: command not found [root@a3680 tmp]# rpm -q gcc gcc-c++ make kernel-devel gcc-4.1.2-44.el5 gcc-c++-4.1.2-44.el5 make-3.81-3.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 I haven't a clue what's going on here, or how to fix it. Google's linux SE couldn't find any hits.

Install CentOS directly from usb drive?
by Neil Aggarwal 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello: I followed the instructions here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/ch02s04s01.html to put isolinux on a usb drive. When I boot from the usb drive, the installer comes up and I can do a network install. I have to say that is very impressive! But, since I have a 4GB usb drive, I am thinking I can load the rest of the installation onto the usb drive so I do not have to use a network install. I searched the Internet but could not find any instructions on doing that. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I built rpms for Miredo 1.1.5-1 on Centos 5.2 from the fc8 rpms. How do I determine if I have to rebuild it for Centos 5.3?

Re: [CentOS] kernel update doesn't update grub.conf
by lincohn john 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I just updated kernel manually last evening: that is, directly using rpm and it did update the grub.conf. Well, you can always manually edit the grub.conf file, right? BTW: I managed to install 5.3 on the very first generation MAC PRO (xeon 2.66, XT1900) last weekend with old kernel: I took a detour in order to install it directly from CD iso. The system Hung several times and the DVD rom was NOT recognized. However, after updated to the newest kernel last evening, the DVD ram recognized and it did NOT hang any more: at least for about 6 hours. Cheers!
