svnserve with encryption on CentOS
by David Mehler 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hello, I've got a CentOS box that i'm wanting to set up svnserve on. I've read much, and am confused. Does svnserve support data encryption and also restricting users from specific repositories? I'm thinking of a single repo structure under /var/svn-repos and I've got two users user1 and user2, each should have access to their own projects in this case user1 can access project1 and user2 can access project2, but neither should be allowed to access the others. My second issue is I don't want to have a access path like /var/svn-repos/project1 for instance. I've read the -r root option which I would set to: -r /var/svn-repos would settle this, but am not sure where to set that option so it's picked up. Thanks. Dave.

Celebrating Centos 6.0 Day World-wide
by Always Learning 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Saturday, 9 July 2011 in England. This afternoon I was very enthusiastically telling staff in a large US owned stationary and computers chain store (with often too high prices), Staples, about the joys and benefits of using Linux, specifically Centos, over M$ Windoze. May I suggest that all us very grateful users of Centos make 6 copies of Centos 6.0 (either i386 or/and X64) and hand then out to friends, colleagues or strangers (unknown members of the public) who might be interested in trying Centos ? A modification of this idea could be to distribute "Live" versions of Centos that can run without altering a computer's hard disk(s). Centos is great - and I should have started using it years ago - so too is the utterly commendable efforts of the gallant and hard working volunteers who made this excellent experience possible for us to enjoy. Spreading the metaphorical 'word' in the form of a give-away CD or DVD will undoubtedly promote Centos and liberate more computer users from the costly and ghastly tyranny of M$ Windoze. In England one can not purchase a new computer from a chain store without first paying the compulsory Windoze tax even if one has no intention of using Micro$oft. Lets be proud of others world-wide achievement in making Centos 6.0 available to us and let us celibate their inspirational achievement by giving away some easy-to-duplicate LIVE CDs or a DVD set (2 disks) to those who would like to try Centos. Since the new version is Centos 6 then give away a minimum of 6 copies of a LIVE CD or 6 copies of a complete i386 or X64 distribution. -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU. 1 June 2010 Exclusively Centos & Gnome. Liberated from M$ Windoze.

HP Network Printer Issue - Resend
by Eugene Poole 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

I sent the following message back in June, but I must have missed the reply: I'm attempting to install and configure HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) software on my CentOS 5.3 x86_64 system without success. I've got a HP Officejet Pro 8500 multi-function printer connected via ethernet. I'm getting a message saying that it cannot locate the libcups module in the /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib directories. However, I can locate then correct modules using the find command. I can print to this printer using multiple versions of Fedora and multiple versions of Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions why it is not working? Has anyone seen an issue like this? I'm continuing to run CentOS 5.3 because VMware Server 2.02 works well there. And I haven't found a tutorial or 'How To' showing how to move to kernel based virtualization (KVM) on the later versions of CentOS. TIA Gene

Unhandled Exception during Install
by Armelius Cameron 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hello, I am trying to do an NFS install of CentOS 6 on a fairly old / generic machine AMD Athlon XP 1700. I use the CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso burned to a CD to boot the installation. Only / partition and swap (2 partition) is set on the primary IDE harddrive. I have a PCI SATA card with a 2TB SATA drive on the machine that I wanted to use as /home (which I set during the install). The CentOS iso image is host on a Fedora machine on the LAN. After the part where "Transferring Install Image to Hard Drive", I get Unhandled Exception box, and I could only "Save", "Debug" or "Exit". The install failed. I tried the install several time, and I also tried unplugging the SATA HD, thinking that it may caused the problem. But the problem is still there. So even for the most basic install (on IDE harddrive) with Minimal install it doesn't work. I saved the error log from the "unhandled exception"; it's 1.5MB XML file. Not sure where / how I can post this or if this may be useful for someone to look at. Any suggestion or help with this would be appreciated. Thanks AC

CentOS-6 dhcpd
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

I've installed CentOS-6 on my server (in parallel to CentOS-5.6) and now I'm trying to set up dhcpd. I'm not sure if there has been a change in dhcpd under CentOS-6, but I'm getting the dreaded message "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" when I "sudo service dhcpd restart". I realise now that I have never known how the connection between interface (eth0 and eth1, in my case) and network (192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0, in my case) is established. I have DHCPDARGS=eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd but evidently I need to say something more somewhere. Can one actually specify the interface in /etc/dhcpd.conf and if so how? Any suggestions or enlightenment gratefully received. -- 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

ssh after failing fsck?
by Les Mikesell 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

Is there any way to configure things so sshd starts even if a filesystem mentioned in fstab has errors that fail the automatic fsck at boot? Due to some power issues I'm sitting at work for a long fsck to complete - or more likely fail, so I can run it manually like it will tell me on the console. I'd much rather ssh in from home and do that later... -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

problems with burning i386 centos 6 dvd
by Gary Gatling 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hey guys, Thanks a lot for the CentOS 6 distro. I am having trouble burning the i386 dvds. I tried on a RHEL 6 deskop and also a CentOS 5 laptop. The command I am running on both systems is this: growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0=/home/gsgatlin/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso The error I am seeing is: :-( /dev/sr0: 2295104 blocks are free, 2297586 to be written! (Yes it puts a sad face on the command line) The DVD says DVD +R on it if that matters. I was able to burn the 64 bit dvd's ok with similar commands. (both #1 and #2) Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any ideas. Gary Gatling | ITECS Systems

Has anyone else seen this? mark

CentOS5/6 Dual Boot
by Camron W. Fox 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Alle, We currently have a CentOS 5.6 x86-64 server running using about 70G of a 500GB hardware raid partition. We'd like to install 6.0 alongside this installation in a dual boot configuration. We tried to install using the "Use Free Space" installation option, but the installer did not see the 475G of unused space. Is there any good way to do this, or is it even feasible? Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu Management Services of America, Inc. E-mail: cwfox(a)us.fujitsu.com
