initlog is deprecated
by Tim Dunphy 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

Hello Centos, I am getting an error that I am not familiar with when I restart ssh. [root@virtcent01:~] #service sshd restart Stopping sshd: [ OK ] Starting sshd:WARNING: initlog is deprecated and will be removed in a future release [ OK ] [root@virtcent01:~] # I was just wondering if this is in the 'ignorable but annoying' category of things or whether there is something you can do about this. I've tried googling this error but haven't found any definitive answer here. I've also tried grepping the conf file for some of the terms in the error message and not found anything. I'm enclosing my conf file in case this has some clues I'm missing. thanks in advance! -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

openoffice & command line printing
by Gregory P. Ennis 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

Everyone, I am trying to print some *.doc files from the command line with openoffice on centos 5.5 with using cups as the print server. I can open the file from the command line with open office and then print it manually from the gui, but when I open the file and print from command line I am not getting anything. The commands that I have used are the following : /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt lpt4 /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init In each of these cases the command line finishes back to the "#" prompt, but nothing prints on lpt4. Has anyone tried to use the command line options for openoffice and have the syntax as to how it works. Thanks much for any assistance you can give me. -- Greg Ennis PoMec Corporation www.PoMec.net

Full screen Flash in CentOS 5.5 again
by Ron Blizzard 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

I'm happy to report that, as of (at least) the last Flash update, full screen Flash (on Hulu and Youtube) is again working on my machine. I know some folks weren't updating Flash because of this so it might be time to update. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5

BInd Problem or Update SSL ?

Don't understand what you mean by 'within our /19'. Have your IP ranges changed? If your Bind date is corrupt, why not re-install Centos and then restore the domains data from one of your regular backups? Is it a wise business decision to use C 4.8 instead of C 5 or the latest which is C 5.5 ? > Google hasn't led me to an RPM for bind-9.7.2-P3 nor has the > search facility at centos.org.

Well, on my C 5.5 desktop my OpenSSL is (yum info openssl) Name : openssl Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.9.8e Release : 12.el5_5.7 Size : 3.4 M The same version for i686. Larry, why can't you install the latest OpenSSL ? On C 5.5 the latest Bind is 9.3.6 (Release: 4.P1.el5_5.3) If you really need the latest Bind and can not wait about a month for C6 why don't you use a different flavour of Linux? In business one can not be too sentimental and difficult decisions have to be made all the time. With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

Absolutely nothing to the purity of Ivory soap :) 26 of our favorite servers run CentOS. Having read what Lamar wrote, namely: On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 3:36 PM, Lamar Owen <lowen(a)pari.edu> wrote: <quote> There is plenty of documentation on how to do a Fedora rebuild yourself on the Fedora project wiki. And, not to beat a dead horse, but EL6 is based off F12, and thus, once you have comps and a few things, in theory the Fedora infrastructure, loaded with all the buildrequires (a larger package set than the distributed SRPMS) for EL6, would churn out EL6 builds and composes. </quote> This poster doesn't have a spare box, so after reading Lamar's post about how to learn, GMail mentioned $FREE Xen vboxen over at chunkhost.com. When queried about whether a FC14 image was available and thus a vbox on which the learning process could proceed, the subject line was the answer. Thus, the compliment to the CentOS Team and to the CentOS Community for the wisdom of selecting CentOS as the beneficiary of their hard work and for their choice of an OS, respectively. Some may perceive ambiguity in the subject line :(
