Samba Print Share Problem
by Mark LaPierre 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

I had my samba printer shares working after many hours of struggling with the samba.conf file. I was happy. Now the printer shares have quit working. I checked the yum log to see if anything had been changed. Nothing applicable seems to have been changed. I've been surfing the net for the last couple of days trying to find a solution to the problem but I find many outdated and conflicting articles which only contribute to my confusion. [mlapier@mushroom ~]$ rpm -qa | grep samba samba-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-client-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-common-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-winbind-devel-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-domainjoin-gui-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-winbind-clients-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba4-libs-4.0.0-23.alpha11.el6.i686 samba-swat-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-doc-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-winbind-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 samba-winbind-krb5-locator-3.5.10-114.el6.i686 [mlapier@mushroom ~]$ uname -a Linux mushroom.patch 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.i686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 6 21:21:22 GMT 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [mlapier@mushroom ~]$ CentOS 6.2 [mlapier@mushroom etc]$ ll | grep samba drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Mar 11 13:59 samba drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 2010 samba4 [mlapier@mushroom etc]$ What's with the samba4 directory?

NSS ldap problems
by Kristen Eisenberg 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

One difference I ran into with samba authentication is in cent 5 /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac is the file to change but in cent 6 its /etc/pam.d/password-auth-ac. I found that changes I made only to system-auth-ac in 5 had to be made to both system-auth-ac and password-auth-ac in 6. This was to have authentication work for things like ssh and sudo in centos 6.

Interface starts when it shouldn't
by Steve Thompson 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

In CentOS 5.7 and earlier versions, an alias interface is defined via ifcfg-<interface>:foo which contains "ONBOOT=no". The ONBOOT setting appears to be ignored, and the interface always starts when the system boots or if networking is restarted. This is a serious bug that seems to date back many years (I found references in 2005). Anyone know why it hasn't been fixed, or if there is indeed a fix?

File permissions
by Robert Spangler 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hello, I need to know if there is something I am missing about file permission as I believe I am seeing some strange stuff on my system. I have a directory as follows: drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 Mar 10 13:35 temp In this directory I have a file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Oct 30 02:16 208-109-248-33test As a normal user should I be able to rename this file? I believe that only root should be able to modify this file but as a normal user I am able to rename it without elevated privileges as so: temp $ mv 208-109-248-33test 208-109-248-33-mv [Sat Mar 10 13:41:05] /temp temp $ lt 208* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Oct 30 02:16 208-109-248-33-mv How is this possible? If it is possible what am I missing or not understanding? Thnx. -- Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a lifetime. Linux User #296285 Get Counted http://linuxcounter.net/

The CentOS "contrib" repository
by Yves Bellefeuille 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

According to the Wiki, the CentOS contrib repository "contains packages contributed by CentOS users which do not overlap with any of the core distribution packages". The repository seems to be empty. Are contributions actually welcome? Are there any policies about proposing packages? Thanks, -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan(a)storm.ca> "La Esperanta Civito ne rifuzas anticipe la kunlaboron de erarintoj, se ili konscias pri sia eraro." -- Heroldo Komunikas, n-ro 473.
