HOW to REDIRECT to HTTPS?
by erikmccaskey64 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

I'm searching for a method [on client side] to redirect to HTTPS in a few given domains. e.g.: http://www.facebook.com/ to https://www.facebook.com/ Ok. I use several webbrowsers, and not all of them has "add-ons" to redirect these pages to https. My purpose is this: when i go to "http://www.facebook.com" i don't want to see any http traffic with wireshark Is this possible?? How can i achieve it? How can i automatically redirect http traffic for given domain names to HTTPS?? is it enough to redirect http? I mean then the webserver [e.g.: www.facebook.com] recognizes that i want to "talk" over HTTPS? I has a caching-nameserver on my pc - BIND I have an "ad blocking" proxy on my pc - PRIVOXY And my pc is a "linux box" - IPTABLES [iptables only knows ip addresses?]

RFC: video call recommendations
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

I run CentOS at home, not just at work... Anyway, I've got a friend in Chicago who recently mentioned that they'd like to do videocalling. Now, I've heard of skype, but a quick google says there's some problems on Linux. I also see ekiga, and aMSN. Anyone here run such a beast, and have any recommendations or comments? Obviously, must work on CentOS, not Ubuntu, or Fedora, or TheLatestCoolestDistroThisMonth.... mark

CentOS and Marvell SAS/SATA drivers
by Chuck Munro 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hello all, I've been on a real roller coaster ride getting a large virtual host up and running. One troublesome thing I've discovered (the hard way) is that the drivers for Marvell SAS/SATA chips still have a few problems. After Googling around quite a bit, I see a significant number of others have had similar issues, especially evident in the Ubuntu forums but also for a few RHEL/CentOS users. I have found that under heavy load (in my case, simply doing the initial sync of large RAID-6 arrays) the current 0.8 driver can wander off into the weeds after a while, less so for the older 0.5 driver in CentOS-5. It would appear that some sort of bug has been introduced into the newer driver. I've had to replace the Marvell-based controllers with LSI, which seem rock solid. I'm rather disappointed that I've wasted good money on several Marvell-based controller cards (2 SAS/SATA and 2 SATA). My question ... is anyone aware of the *real* status of these drivers? The Internet is full of somewhat conflicting reports. I'm referring to 'mvsas' and 'sata-mv', both of which seem to have issues under heavy load. It sure would be nice to return to using what appear to be well-made controller cards. I understand that even Alan Cox has expressed some frustration with the current driver status. FWIW, I had similar problems under the RHEL-6 evaluation OS too. Chuck

CentOS 4.6 Samba Mount problem
by sync 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi ,all : Today I run the following command to mount the Linux Server Samba share folder on my computer which installed CentOS 5.5 x86_64 . root@test ~: mount.cifs //IP/share /mnt root@test ~: mount -o loop /mnt/xxx.iso /media xxx.iso: Permission denied But I see the permission of that file is 755, that means others can do read and excute. Then I run "tailf /var/log/message" command and find the following error message : kernel :CIFS VFS: server IP of type Samba 3.0.25a-04.E6 returned unexpected error on SMB posix open, disabling posix open support. Check if server update available. By the way, the Linux Server which installed CentOS 4.6 64 bit and the samba version is 3.0.25a-04.E6. So is it the samba version bug? Or Should I update the new samba version ? Thanks in advance ....

fast processing and buffering
by Michael D. Berger 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I have a C++ program that opens, gets a little data from, and closes about 5000 files. Now if I run the program when I first boot up, the running time is from about 10 seconds to a minute. Subsequently, the program runs in well inter one second. Buffering -- right? So I changed a parameter, so the program gets a different (albeit similar) 5000 files from a different directory. Running time on the first try: well under one second. How about that? [~]$ uname -a Linux xxxxx 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 17:53:09 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thanks for your comments. Mike.

Release 5.5 64-bit hangs on boot
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi there -- I just completed installing the 64-bit version of Release 5.5, and while the installation and initial configuration completed successfully, a full boot-up is never completed successfully. During the system boot-up sequence the list of services appears to complete, but then a blank blue screen appears, and while the mouse pointer is present, it does not respond to any input. I let the system stand, in the hope it would correct itself, for about half an hour, but the status did not change. I did the installation a second time to see if this was a freak occurrence. Unfortunately, after the second attempt was completed, the same issue occurred on the server. Prior to doing the installation, I confirmed the DVD and CD media were tested and found to be valid. When I did the installation, I went with the base install along with Server, Server GUI, and Virtualization support. The server hardware is a Dell R515 system with two 500 GB SAS drives that are hardware-based RAID1 that was completely optimized prior to the software install. Has anyone experienced this issue before, and has an idea as to what is going on, and how it can be corrected? Thanks.

log monitoring and reporting software
by Janez Kosmrlj 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi folks, In the company where i work, we are implementing a security standard. A part of this is a log monitoring and reporting software. There are a few requirements, that the software must fulfil: - It must be capable of collecting logs from different devices (Linux machines, network equipment, ...). - it must be capable of sending alarms on security events - it has to generate daily (weekly, monthly) reports - it's a plus if it is easy configurable - it has to have a good support or at least a good community if it is an opensource product So what are you using or at least some recommendations would be nice. An opensource product would be nice, but it's not required. I know i could google it, but it's difficult to decide for a product just from online and marketing presentations. It would be nice to get some real world experience. Thanx
