IPV4 is nearly depleted, are you ready for IPV6?
by Rudi Ahlers 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Seeing as IPV4 is near it's end of life (http://www.internetnews.com/infra/article.php/3915471/IPv4+Nearing+Final+Da…), I'm curios as who know whether everyone is ready for the changeover to IPV6? Is anyone using it in production already, and what are your experiences with it? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

The Natives are Restless!
by John Hinton 09 Dec '10

Has anyone noticed over the years, that every time a major new CentOS release is just about to happen, suddenly there starts to be a few very long and drawn out threads? Has anyone ever considered that the core team is in fact monitoring this thread while trying to devote as much time as possible to actually getting the next release out the door? Could it possibly take longer for the next release to be launched due to the increase in volume on this list? So, when is CentOS 7 going to be released? ;) Sorry to add to the problem with this message, but I do find it really odd that this happened just before 4 and then again just before 5 and now just before 6. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions

Optimal VPN
by tony.chamberlain＠lemko.com 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

I am looking for the optimal VPN. Well it doens't have to be that elaborate. Just the best VPN. We currently have some customers using PPTP, some using openvpn, some using Cisco Any Connect and there are a few others. So my question is, if you have control of both ends (client and server) what is the best VPN to use? There are not too many requirements, but a big one is The VPN must return the same IP address to the same user each time That is there must be a specific IP address assigned to a user/password combination. pptp does not really do this but I wrote sort of a backend (or maybe frontend? ;-) ) to change the IP address assigned based on a login and password. It is extra stuff I would prefer not to do though.

A preliminary development version of ext4 was included in version 2.6.19[4] of the Linux kernel. On 11 October 2008, the patches that mark ext4 as stable code were merged in the Linux 2.6.28 source code repositories,[5] denoting the end of the development phase and recommending ext4 adoption.

how to run a command on a specific vnc display
by Roland RoLaNd 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hello, I'm using selenium rc for automated testing on a centos box. working on the box itself has no problem as long as i start the server through terminal. though if i wanted to run tests remotely i have a problem with firefox not knowing on which display to run. i have a vnc client running on port 1 (5801/5901) I've tried the following: export DISPLAY=1 ; java -jar selenium-server.jar > /opt/selenium/Logs/logs.txt # through ssh session though that didn't work the only way to initiate it properly is to connect through vnc, open a terminal and type : java -jar $PWD/selenium-server.jar though i don't know how to automate this. so i thought of setting this in xstartup # vnc's startup for display 1 as such: 1 #!/bin/sh 2 3 # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: 4 unset SESSION_MANAGER 5 exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 6 while true ;do sh /opt/scripts/rc; done & 7 [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup 8 [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources 9 xsetroot -solid grey 10 vncconfig -iconic & 11 xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & 12 twm & ]# more /opt/scripts/rc java -jar /opt/selenium/selenium-server.jar > /opt/selenium/Logs/logs.txt Though that isn't working either, and still the firefox profile doesnt know where to start. this is the error : PHPUnit_Framework_Exception: Response from Selenium RC server for getNewBrowserSession(*firefox, http://www.test.com). Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser. any help to automate the startup on display 1 would be greatly appreciated

dhcp + static dns
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi all, Not having issues setting this in Ubuntu or Windows but I cannot seem to add a static DNS or search path without it getting over written when networks restarts. The file dhclient.conf seems ignored. I would like to simply have a fixed DNS and search path added to what ever was found by the dhcp client. So I don't think peersdns=no is an option. Any advice is greatly appreciated. - aurf
