Triple- or Quad-display single-card graphics solutions
by Glenn Eychaner 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

So, after some discussion of our new control workstations, we are iterating in on a solution; we are looking at a 1U short-depth SuperMicro SuperServer 5017R-MF with a graphics card in the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot. However, the display requirements have increased to 3 or more monitors for future expansion, so I was wondering whether anyone had any experience with triple- or quad-display single card solutions. Thus far, I have found two promising solutions: NVidia NVS 510 or 450 Matrox M-series M9138 or M9148 Both these solutions claim to have Linux support, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them in CentOS 6.4? And if there were any other solutions I had overlooked? Thanks, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

mail server: sendmail with integrated AD
by Riccardo Castellani 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

I'm preparing my new Sendmail mail server with pop3s + smtps where user authentication occurs through Microsoft Active Directory by Winbind daemon. OS is Centos 6.4 and Sendmail is 8.14 Mailboxes will be in this server but how to create them !??! It's necessary to add user by 'useradd' command into /etc/passwd or It's only necessary add new entry in '/etc/aliases' file for every AD user like in following example ?! mark.landers: marklanders - 'marklander' is the user account in Microsoft AD - user mail is 'mark.landers(a)example.com' POP3s the account name (AD user), which I'll use to access my mailbox by pop3s, must have the same name of mailbox file ? According to previous example: if I wanted to download email of 'mark.landers(a)example.com', in my client I shall have to type 'marklanders' with its password, so my requirement is to have this mailbox file into my mail server: <mail path>/<user> for example: /var/spool/mail/marklanders I think pop3S WILL SEARCH mailbox with the same name of account name ! What do you think ?

Really Weird Question.....
by Eddie G. O'Connor Jr. 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

So I just got ahold of an old e-Machine (Model EL1600) with 1GB of memory. I was going to install CEntOS on it and try to run VirtualBox for other OS'es. I am curious to know if I have to stick with the 2GB "max" the specs say the machine can take or if its possible to install a 4GB module that is designed the same? In other words I have seen 2GB DDR PC2700 memory that will fit the casing and work, but I have ALSO seen 4GB DDR PC6400 memory modules with the same number of pins (240) will this work? I would want to have as much memory in there that will allow the VirtualBox to run smoothly.....any help would be appreciated! EGO II

But that was it's intent and it isn't likely to ever change. I'm just glad that people like Larry Wall understood that early-on and used dual-licensing to make at least some software usable in more situations. . -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Re: [CentOS] qemu-kvm package?
by Gene Poole 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Let me say that your question does not match your subject. I run a 32-bit CentOS with virt-manager installed to monitor the virtual machines running on a 64-bit CentOS. That leaves the following: Is it because I'm running CentOS 5.9 in both cases? Or is it because I performed a full install from a DVD in both cases? That being said, It's a fact that virt-manager will run on a 32-bit OS. Thanks, Gene Poole

Xyratex disk units
by Tony Schreiner 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

I am wondering if any one knows of a way to manage Xyratex disk shelves from CentOS (in particular CentOS 4). More details: Some years ago I installed a NAS unit from Exanet which consists of 2 rebadged IBM x3650 head nodes and a couple of Xyratex disk shelves with a total of 96 TB of raw disk, connected by fibre channel. The operating system is based on CentOS 4.4, but is modified, and runs a proprietary file system. It has pretty good performance and I'm happy with it. You may know that the company went bust some years ago, so I have been running this system unsupported. I am loath to give up the disk space though. The two things I worry about are, the fibre channel connection and the external disk trays. Unfortunately, what I know about fibre channel is very little. They are emulex HBAs, and I guess there used to software called lputil, but this is no longer available at the Emulex site. It has been replaced by something called HBAnywhere, but I have not succeeded in building that on CentOS 4. Uprading the OS is out of the question I would think while maintaining the file system capability. And the other question is how to manage the LUNs on the Xyratex's. I'd be grateful for any info anyone has on either. Tony Schreiner

Red Hat CEO: Go Ahead, Copy Our Software
by Robert Arkiletian 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

http://www.businessinsider.com/red-hat-ceo-go-ahead-copy-our-software-2013-8 Title says is all. Nice to know RH understands and accepts the relationship between CentOS and RHEL. Although it is complex. After all, if too many choose CentOS, there may no longer be a CentOS. However, I don't think I would refer to CentOS as a "parasite" as the author Matt Asay does. More appropriate to call it symbiotic. Is the relationship a 50/50 affair? Not sure. Complicating matters even more is Oracle Unmistakable Linux.

Back-up connection
by Timothy Murphy 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Some weeks ago, I asked if anyone had set up a backup scheme for a remote server. By backup here, I mean an alternative arrangement that can be called upon if eg the DSL connection to the remote machine fails. I received one interesting reply: ====================== At home, besides my fixed lines, I have two gsm-modems, one low-speed (that came free of charge with one of my fixed lines), the other is high speed, but pre-paid, normally off) ====================== I meant to respond at the time, asking for further details, but forgot, and now I have lost the original message. So now I am posting again, asking if anyone has implemented any such arrangement. If you have, I would be very interested to hear the details. In my case, I spend time in two countries - Ireland and Italy - and have servers in each place. The problem in both places is that the ADSL modem sometimes goes off, and the only way to turn it back on seems to be to disconnect and re-connect the power supply. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
