Not receiving root mail
by Anne Wilson 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Although I have the alias defined in /etc/aliases and /etc/postfix/aliases, I'm not receiving root mail. Following the previous thread about unreceived logwatch mail, I tested with a manual run of logwatch, and found that my ISP is rejecting the mail because it is seeing an envelope carrying my local address. My suspicion is that the mail is going out via sendmail instead of postfix-sendmail. IIRC there used to be system-switch-mail or a similarly named package. I can't find any such package - and can't remember which file it edited. Can someone please point me to that file? Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

SSH in and my terminal keystrokes are weird.......
by Todd 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi All, I upgraded to OS X 10.7 on my laptop and when I try to ssh into my servers and do edits it seems my backspace is now weird. When I backspace it skips all around, inserts what looks to be special characters, etc. If I save and go back in the file edited right, but due to all the inserted garbage and skipping around of the cursor I cant tell at that time if what I did worked. I dont recall this happening on Snow Leopard at all, but we did also upgrade to CentOS 6 and I honestly have no idea where this issue would be. Can anyone provide any thoughts? Todd

disk partitioning: 6.0 install to harddrive using liveCD
by centos＠trodman.com 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Greetings: I'm planning to set up a test Centos 6.0 box (has CDROM, but no DVD) with these partions: / 10GB ( no separate mount for /usr ) /tmp 1GB /var 10GB /boot 500MB The centos mirrors I have seen do not provide the full distro on CD (this box has no DVD). I'm used to having about 6 CD isos to work with. The livecd install to hard drive works, but apparently does not support custom partitioning (correct me if I'm wrong). What do you suggest I do to get the partitioning I want? I'm leaning towards: booting into single user mode, back up /var to tar file, delete /var, create a new partion for /var and /tmp, update /etc/fstab, mount /var and /tmp, restore /var from tar backup. Is the best way? I have no investment in the current install, so I can start from scratch. -- thanks/regards, Tom

ssh reverse DNS failure
by Timothy Murphy 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

I use dyndns's (free) service to access a remote machine with a dynamic IP address. The machine is running under CentOS-6.0. I can ssh into the address given me by dyndns (*.homelinux.com), but when I do this I get the warning "reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for" * "failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!" This doesn't really matter, as I normally use OpenVPN for accessing this site - the dyndns method is a safety precaution in case openvpn doesn't work. But I'm wondering if it is possible to stop the warning? I've tried various recipes google gave me, eg adding "UseDNS no" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote machine (and re-starting sshd), but none of them has worked, -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Ekiga - camera
by Johan Vermeulen 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

dear All, when first installing CentOs some 6 months ago, I noticed this strange thing called Ekiga. Now, some guys at work use Skype and I heard that's owned by Microsoft. So enter James. I bought a webcam, actualy 2, to test Ekiga. Logitech Webcam c210. I saw this url :http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ on this url :http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/Webcams and in short : I think I have the driver i need --V4L2-- on my Centos6 machine. To make sure, I installed everything that came up under # yum search V4L2 with epel testing enabled. #dmesg | tail -n15 shows : usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0819 usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=2 usb 2-3: SerialNumber: CE6AA1D0 usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device<unnamed> (046d:0819) input: UVC Camera (046d:0819) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/input/input13 still in Ekiga i get error message ( translated from Dutch) : an error occurred with video device UVC Camera (046d:0819) an error occurred when opening the device blahblahbla check access rights or driver. under System - Preferences I can't find anything configurable ( is that even English ?) Can anyone help me configure something somewhere or whatever is needed ?

OKI B411 printer
by Bob Tennent 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

On a Centos-5.7 system, this printer works fine using a parallel cable but fails using the USB interface; the following appears on the CUPS page when I try to print a page: Unable to open device "hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_6bc_268_AK11044671_if0_printer_no serial": Permission denied" Any suggestions? On a Fedora 14 system, the USB interface works, so it's not the printer. I've also tried another USB jack. Bob T.

Broadcom Wifi Problem
by Michael D. Berger 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

I have a Broadcom 802.11b/g hardware on my dual-boot laptop. Note first that in the WinXP partition, the wifi makes DHCP connections to my router with no problem. Since this was not working in my new CentOS 6 partition, and remembering that there was a driver problem with the old Fedora partition it replaced, I followed instructions founs at: http://repecka.net/en/2011/04/19/install-broadcom-bcm4311-802-11bg-wlan- drivers-on-centos/ and http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt modifying for that fact that I use wlan0 rather than eth1. The wifi is now dead-in-the-water. The wlan light now remains red, and neither ifconfig nor iwconfig show any sign of wlan0 (contra to the situation before I installed the new driver). It still works in the WinXP partition. Suggestions for my next step in fixing this would be most welcome. Thank, Mike.

missing package openmotif in i386
by Christian Athon 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

I can only find openmotif22 in centos 5 i386. x86_64 has a openmotif. A mistake I assume? Christian.
