permission problems with avamis and Centos 6.3
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

I am trying to follow: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd Which seems to really be written for Centos 5, with just some selinux references for Centos 6. There are real problems here for Centos 6 with the userids section. It gives the following command and result: cat /etc/passwd | grep "amavis\|clamav" clamav:x:101:102:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/clamav:/sbin/nologin amavis:x:102:103:Amavis email scan user:/var/amavis:/bin/sh But my Centos 6.3 has: clam:x:494:490:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/lib/clamav:/sbin/nologin amavis:x:493:489::/var/spool/amavisd:/sbin/nologin Note the difference in userid clam instead of clamav. So this causes problems with the group recommendation: In addition, the clamav user should automatically have been added to the amavis group: # groups clamav clamav : clamav amavis If not, you can manually add clamav to the amavis group: gpasswd -a clamav amavis so I did: gpasswd -a clam amavis So far, it seems just changing what userid is now used by clamav... But in testing for spam I see the following in /var/log/maillog Jan 23 15:56:17 test1 amavis[25669]: (25669-01) (!)run_av (ClamAV-clamd) FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20130123T155617-25669/parts: lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR\n" I checked this directory tree and all along the tree the permissions are to amavis:amavis So where is my permission problem?

firefox 18
by fred smith 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Has anyone managed to get FF 18.0 to work on Centos 5.8? I've been hacking at it, placing a stack of .so files (from Centos 6) into a private directory, then using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the system to (in a shellscript that subsequently invokes ff 18) but so far I've not managed to find the right combination. I've moved over libstdc++, all or nearly all the .so files from glib2 and glibc packages. now I"m getting: ./firefox: symbol lookup error: ./libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4 and dunno either what I've done wrong, or what other things need to be brought over. Clues appreciated. :) -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

From what i could see last evening it seems as good as apt/synaptic. Although one could say that's not much good; synaptic doesn't completely remove all associated files, neither does apt's --purge option, although the more recent --autoremove does. But Debian's default package manager aptitude which few know how to use as they don't print off and read the 1 ins thick manual that comes with it - aptitude is the best package manager of all. There was only dependency problems with rpm and debian's dpkg - the apps didn't cope with it. Yum may do it now but it is also very slow by comparison with Aptitude. I think you've been unfairly critical tbh. From what i can deduce neither Debian or Redhat systems come close to the speed of slackware and i don't know why yet. james

by ken 25 Jan '13

It seems there's no way to transfer files to/from 5.9 to/from Android 4.1.1 using bluetooth, at least that's what the web and my attempts have been telling me for the past few days. Or has someone found a way...?

How to configure display on CentOS 6?
by Toralf Lund 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

How exactly are you supposed to configure the display (i.e. set up X11) on a CentOS 6 system? I mean, in the past, there was system-config-display, but that's not supported any more. There is gnome-display-properties/System->Preferences->Display, but that seems to rely completely on auto-detection of the graphics card and monitors. What if this fails? Surely there should be a way to specify everything by hand?

Accessing packages on DVD from rescue mode?
by Toralf Lund 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Hi, Does anyone know a way to access rpm packages on the CentOS 6 install DVD after booting into "rescue mode" from the same DVD? I mean, I can't immediately see the Packages directory or a full DVD mount point...
