I am attempting to use mdraid for booting my machine but it never does. Does the centos 5 guide for linux software raid work for centos 6?

smartd and palimpsest
by Frank Cox 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

I notice that the smartd service is not running by default on a new installation. But palimpsest seems to get updated statistics every so often as when I check the statistics on a drive it says "last updated" some number of minutes ago. So if smartd isn't running, where does palimpsest get its information from and what is updating it? Second question, what would enabling the smartd service gain me that I don't have right now? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

setting the screen background with gconftool-2
by Jerry Geis 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

I centos 5 I can run this command: su myuser -c "/usr/bin/gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/mypic.png" and this works fine. under centos 6 it does not appear to be working... I can run the similiar --get command and it tells me its set to what I asked for. However the screen is not showing mypic.png I can use gconf-editor to set it manually and it works. I looked to see if gconfd-2 is running and it is. What might be happening that the screen is not changing and showing the actual pic? Thanks, Jerry

Wrong directory permissions in RPMs build on CentOS6
by Simon Matter 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi, I have rebuilt all our source RPMs on CentOS 6 and found they sometimes differ in directory permissions compared to those built on CentOS 3, 4 and 5. The problem is that %defattr overrides %attr on directories. Have a look at this example spec file: --%<--------------------------------- Summary: foo Name: mini Version: 0.1 Release: 1%{?dist} Group: System Environment/Daemons License: GPLv2+ BuildArch: noarch BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root %description foo %prep %install %{__install} -d %{buildroot}/XXX %files %defattr(0644,root,root,0755) %attr(0730,root,nobody) %dir /XXX --%<--------------------------------- The rpm file list build on EL5 looks like this: drwx-wx--- 2 root nobody 0 Aug 12 14:16 /XXX The same rebuilt on EL6: drwxr-xr-x 2 root nobody 0 Aug 12 14:19 /XXX So the EL6 package seems wrong. Novell has a BZ entry about this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629048 Now my questions 1) did I miss the obvious? 2) am I the only one seeing this? 3) is this fixed in EL6.1 (can anyone test this on RHEL6.1?) I've looked up RedHat's bugzilla but couldn't find anything related. Regards, Simon

CentOs6 - Ltsp
by Johan Vermeulen 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Dear All, I'm sending this mail in relation to a post on the CentOs 6 forum : https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32545&start=0#f… CentOs 6 works great so far, and I do not want to sound impatient, but I'm eager to find out when Ltsp would be available on CentOs6 - or even in Rhel6. We now use Kiwi-Ltsp on OpenSuse and there's a hot debate going on, everyone wants to switch to Ubuntu, I want to switch to CentOs. So any timeline would be very helpfull in this dogfight. Thanks for any advise. greetings, James -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen(a)cawdekempen.be 0479.82.01.41 Opensource Software is the future.

OT: headless fanless silent 2 HDs micro server/pc...
by John Doe 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hey, A bit out of topic but I am looking for a micro server/pc if anyone knows a descent one... I found many nice NAS but I would like to have full access to the OS (install CentOS, etc). Dream one would be - Very quiet (fanless) since it will sit in my bedroom. - Headless - Small. - 2/3 HDs (2.5" are ok) for RAID1 (hardware RAID would be nice, and with BBC even more).- 1 or 2 GB NICs - USB3 or ESATA would be nice... - Price would not be much of a problem (maybe no more than $1000 though). Random thoughts: - a shuttle PC with 2 HDs and a real RAID card (if it fits inside), but maybe too noisy, no headless. - a mac mini server looks very nice (but max budget, need another Mac to install, not sure if easy/possible to install CentOS). - some NAS were I could easily replace the OS (not on a flash chip). So if you know a nice one... Thx, JD

ffmpeg
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

This is annoying. I've been trying to get motion working correctly on CentOS 6. First, there was no ffmpeg rpms. Now, I try to install it, and it's found on rpmfusion... except that it will not install. It insists that libfaad.so.0 is required, and tells me faad2-libs-2.6.1-5 from el5 is available. (I've done some stuff with my repos to try to get what I need for motion.) I installed faad2-libs. It *still* will not install, telling me the same: Error: Package: ffmpeg-libs-0.4.9-0.52.20080908.el5.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates5-testing) Requires: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) Available: 1:faad2-libs-2.6.1-5.el5.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates5-testing) libfaad.so.0()(64bit) I've run into problems with libfaad being missing before. Here's the real question: how were the ffmpeg and ffmpeg-libs *built*, if a libfaad package isn't available in the repository? mark

How To for IPV6
by Helmut Drodofsky 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi, I try to set up - A centos 6 firewall - With proxy-arp (I know: arp is not supported in ipv6) with ipv6. Arp does not exist for ipv6. So I have added: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.proxy_ndp=1 To use the neighbor proxy facility. How to activate ipv6 forwarding? As far as I have found, this changed in RHEL6 from 6.1 (/etc/sysconfig/network) to 6.2 (/etc/sysctl.conf). CentOS 6? So I have used sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 as in RHEL 6.2 As in ipv4 I would prefer to proxy the clients behind the firewall. eth0 is WAN, eth1 is LAN. I have read to use ip -6 neigh add proxy <ipv6 address of eth1> dev eth0 but ip -6 neigh show shows nothing. Then I have tried Ip -6 neigh add proxy <ipv6 address of client> dev eth0 Same result. Is there any How To for ipv6 routing and proxying for CentOS? Best regards Helmut

LDAP - Shadow options
by Johan Vermeulen 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

dear All, I'm trying to set Shadow options in Ldap with the help of phpLDAPadmin. This is *what I know : * */Shadowmax : /maximum nr of days a pw can be valid * /ShadowLastchange : /contains the last change of the shadow file * Shadowwarning : nr of days before expiration to warn user. *What I'm trying *to do is have the users 's passwork expire, that works ok. But how can I have them get a warning message? setting Shadowwarning doesn't seem to be doing it. Do I have to set Shadowexpire as well for this? *Also, *how can I have users change the password at first logon? * *I cannot configure the LDAP files themselves, I only have access via phpLDAPadmin. Thanks for any advise. greetings, James -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen(a)cawdekempen.be 0479.82.01.41 Opensource Software is the future.
