Enabling X on headless server via network
by Dotan Cohen 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi all. I need to run X on a headless server, and I am having a hard time configuring null devices in xorg.conf. Here are the server's vital stats as per the getinfo.sh script on centos.org: http://pastebin.centos.org/33908 When I try to start X: [root@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]# startx xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.11196 X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-53.el5 i686 Red Hat, Inc.

Php 5.2.x support ends
by Bob Hoffman 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Thinking of just sitting on this for awhile? Thoughts? Last release for PHP 5.2 & updates for 5.3 PHP Logo The users of PHP 5.2 should upgrade to 5.3 at their earliest convenience, as the active support of the 5.2 series came to an end with the release of version 5.2.14 earlier today. PHP 5.2.0 was released almost four years ago and according to the release announcement, http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-1 the developers say that, in future, any further security fixes will only be released on a case-by-case basis. Version 5.2.14 fixes about 60 flaws, some of which present security risks such as potential memory leaks in string functions. PHP 5.3.3 was released http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-2 at the same time, containing approximately 100 bug fixes. Among the security-relevant bugs are buffer overflows in the native MySQL driver. This release also contains an incompatible change which concerns methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name. PHP no longer treats such methods as constructors, instead regarding them as arbitrary methods:

Hi All, Any could suggest open source tool like CPanel that could do the following? -User access control *user will be able to modify specific virtual host config file. Example is /etc/httpd/conf.d/domain.com.conf *user will be able to upload files to the specific webroot (example only /var/www/vhosts/domain.com) *user will be able to access MySQL server with can do create database,upload database, etc... I tried the webmin but it can't allow to set user to do modify specific virtual host config files and upload files to the specific webroot assigned by the admin/root. Hope anyone could help me out. Thanks James

So I downloaded all the ISO's and I thought I'd install CentOS 5.5 on this 1.25 GB P-3 (I think, don't remember what CPU it's got right off hand, not that it should matter). So I tried it there, got a fatal exception. OK, no problem - thinking that maybe something was wrong with that machine I decided to try it on a different one, a P-3 with 384 MB or RAM.

I had a *lot* of trouble with one older 32-bit system a few months ago - I could *not* get it to install from the DVD. I finally used my USB key, and that worked. Of course, for any other purposes, the drive worked fine. mark

OpenLDAP authentication, account expired when it's not.
by Bill Campbell 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

I am trying to set up LDAP authentication for CentOS workstations, but can't get it to authenticate properly. Authentication fails saying the account has expired when I know for certain that it has not (e.g. ldapsearch authenticated with the appropriate uid and password returns shadowLastChange 14816 and shadowMax 99999). The last time I did this seriously for authentication was using Apple iMacs authentication against a SuSE Linux machine so it's entirely possible I'm not doing the right thing today. Most of the sites where we're using ldap and nss are not authentication, but simply going to user's $HOME directories to deliver e-mail to Maildir stores which doesn't require authentication. FWIW, I just checked an old SLES9 system authenticating against another SuSE system by telnet'ing to its POP3 server and that works as expected so it's something different in the way SuSE's PAM and CentOS' works (using MD5 passwords). I have done a fair amount of google/RTFM as well as reading the pam documentation on the CentOS client machine, and don't find anything that helps me figure out is causing it to think the account has expired. The LDAP attributes that I think are relevant on a test account are below. I don't see anything here that looks hinky, but then I am fairly ignorant on PAM authentication. shadowExpire 0 shadowFlag 0 shadowInactive 0 shadowLastChange 14816 shadowMax 99999 shadowMin 0 shadowWarning 7 Bill -- INTERNET: bill(a)celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.

By the way, the two servers are installed the CentOS 5.3 x86_64 . Thanks in advance .....

ssh and dd
by Joseph L. Casale 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Tonight I have to boot a diskless server with iLO and dd a remote image available by ssh onto a usb key. As there is no local place to store the image, whats the most efficient cmd to push the image from the remote server using ssh into the local pipe pushing out to `dd of=/dev/sdx`? Would a remote execution of `dd if=/dev/sdx` be the best over ssh? I suppose I could use nc and do away with ssh, is that in the CentOS rescue mode? Thanks, jlc
