I can do that, but are you saying to just rm it, and not whatever package it came in? And if it's not correct, why is it here, anyway? Anyone on the CentOS list? I don't want to screw around with this as "oh, it's only his weird problem", I figure that it's happening to a lot of other folks, and I'd like to make the problem go away for everyone. That, of course, means it the incorrect stuff needs to be removed from whatever package it's in.... mark

vinyl sign letter cutter
by Frank Cox 27 May '10

27 May '10

I am looking for a recommendation for a vinyl sign letter cutter that is supporrted under Linux, specifically Centos. My knowledge of these machines is nil, but a bit of googling makes it appear that at least some of them can be made to work using Inkscape. Does anyone have any recommendations? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Re: [CentOS] Having trouble with LDAP Authentication.

Message: 11 Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 16:16:45 -0500 From: Andy Akins <andy(a)egovtn.org> Subject: [CentOS] Having trouble with LDAP Authentication... To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <C821A86D.754B%andy(a)egovtn.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I?ve google and searched, and have had very little luck... I have: 1. Installed all the packages. 2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP. 3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory 4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch 5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication) 6. Added a user using LAM. 7. Confirmed user is in directory. 8. Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd 9. Confirmed using ?getent passwd | grep username? that the user is listed. 10. Confirmed using ?getent passwd? shows two records for each user except ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP). However, ?id username? Returns unknown user <snip> Assuming you have set up both server and client, I would try the following: 1) Don't use nscd until you can confirm basic auth to the Ldap server is working. 2) Enable logging on the Ldap server. Afair, CentOS defaults to loglevel 0, which is no logs. Try something like loglevel 256. 3) Try to authenticate from a client while tailing the server logs. That should give you an idea of whether the client is even reaching the server, and if so what sort of error is occurring. Btw you didn't mention if you were doing Ldap over tls, but that adds another point of failure. See here for a step-by-step test procedure for ssl/tls: http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html Cheers, -- Steve Glasser sgla9347(a)gmail.com

Selinux alerts are in /var/log/audit/audit.log The problem is if smbd doesn't create the messages.tdb file then it won't have the selinux rights. That file can be deleted and will be recreated on smbd start, it's just a cache file. -Ross

Well, after I googled zosremote, and found it's zos-remote, and where its config file was, in /etc/audisp I see: -rw-r----- 1 root root 210 Mar 31 02:26 audispd.conf -rw-r----- 1 root root 620 Mar 31 02:26 audisp-remote.conf drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 May 27 11:42 plugins.d -rw-r----- 1 root root 246 Mar 31 02:26 zos-remote.conf And I *guarantee* I have *never* done anything other than just upgrade this system, and that this system has had selinux disabled all along, so if there are, they were installed with a yum update from whatever the upstream has packaged. mark

Did you create a custom /etc/multipath.conf? You should have. As your device is new and not known with proper defaults by the device-mapper-multipath you will have to set the path_grouping_policy explicitly. devices { device { vendor "SUN" product "Sun Storage 7310" <== REMARK path_grouping_policy failover getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n" features "0" hardware_handler "1 rdac" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry queue rr_min_io 1000 path_checker rdac } } REMARK: to detect the proper product name issue for instance: cat /sys/block/sda/device/model Restart the multipathd after editing the multipath.conf and I expect `multipath -ll" or `multipathd -k"show paths"' will show you the paths correctly weighted. Regards Alexander
