how to get ASUS USB-N13 802.11n net adapter working on 5.5?
by Robert P. J. Day 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

first, the short form of the question -- has anyone got that wireless adapter working on centos 5.5 and associated with an access point that uses WPA/WPA2 security? and the details. in a classroom where there is *no* wired networking at all, all PCs have only that wireless net adapter, which works fine on windows but, after installing centos 5.5, unsurprisingly, we have no networking. there is no backup wired network, and no other adapters. there is a CD that came with the adapters, with a Linux directory, so it was easy enough to dump that onto my personal centos 5.5 box, and run "make" which generated the loadable "rt3070sta.ko" module. and, yes, that module loads. so far, so good. however, that still doesn't do it as based on what i've read online), because the access point here uses WPA/WPA2, i need to use wpa_supplicant to be able to configure the wireless interface for that. and that's about when i got kicked out of the classroom as they were closing for the evening. thoughts? any advice humongously appreciated. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Dell HSPA 5530 - Built-in 3G - Not detected
by Janne Nyman 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi all, I have been trying to get CentOS 5.5 running on my Laptop for a while now. I am currently running Fedora 13 for the only reason that my Dell Wireless HSPA 5530 built-in 3G Mobile Device is working. I have tried loading the bcm43xx modules after reading several posts on Google but not able to get this working at all. I have run CentOS on my servers for a while now and love it. Just this last bit that holds me back from going fullt to CentOS. My laptop is a Dell E6400 and I have tried with both x86 and x86_64 without luck. Has anyone else got this working or have any clues to the steps I can take to get closer to a working solution? -- Rgds, Janne Nyman E: jnyman(a)jbtec.org

logwatch question
by lostson 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hello A few weeks ago I started having problems with my system email or specifically my logwatch reports showing up in my inbox. I got most of those issues figued out except one now when i get an email from my system it has a title of this Cron <root@localhost> run-parts /etc/cron.daily with this message /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: Recipient names must be specified I have my aliases set right and have been googling for an answer and just cant seem to find anything pointing me in the right direction. But this has been going on for awhile now and i would like to get my normal reports back that i used to get. I have never had to do much else except set my aliases file up correctly and i just always got the daily reports. I am probably missing something amazingly simple but i just cant seem to find it any ideas, thanks. LostSon http://lostsonsvault.org

Question on installing .run file
by Jerry Geis 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

I am trying to automate the install of the ati driver package. Basically all I do is hit return about 6 times and take all the defaults. I tried to do this in a file that I then made executable with 744: sh ati-driver-installer-10-8-x86.x86_64.run << EOF EOF but then it starts like its doing something but never does anything. How might I automate such an install script. Again all I do is hit return 6 times and accept all the defaults. Thanks, Jerry

(In)(x)sane privilege/access issue
by Mark 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

I just picked up a new HP OfficeJet J3680 all-in-one (because, as previously posted, my 4315 broke), and I was able to install the printer using the latest hplip's hp-setup command, BUT: My sane: libsane-hpaio.x86_64 1.6.7-4.1.el5.4 installed sane-backends.x86_64 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-devel.i386 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-devel.x86_64 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-libs.i386 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-backends-libs.x86_64 1.0.18-5.el5 installed sane-frontends.x86_64 1.0.14-1.2.2 installed xsane.x86_64 0.991-5.el5 installed xsane-gimp.x86_64 0.991-5.el5 installed doesn't recognize that there is a scanner out there and only loads the interface for my old ScanJet 3300C: [mar@marichter ~]$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 012: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 In fact, the new scanner doesn't even show up unless: [mar@marichter ~]$ sudo lsusb [sudo] password for mar: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 015: ID 03f0:3112 Hewlett-Packard Bus 002 Device 012: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 If I run xsane from the command line as root (i.e., with sudo), then it works, but then I also get that WARNING DANGER WILL ROBINSON message, which is both annoying and probably likely to cause problems with file permissions on my scans. So, how do I (a non-root user) get x/sane to see the new USB device when it only appears to visible to the root user? What am I missing? Thanks. Mark

Bugzilla 3.6.2 + sendmail + SELinux
by Mathieu Baudier 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hello, I have deployed Bugzilla 3.6.2 on CentOS 5 (with rpmforge perl-* packages) and I have a problem with SELinux preventing mail being sent via sendmail. (see SELinux reports below, especially the second one) When SELinux is in permissive mode, mail sending from Bugzilla is working properly. Has anybody got recent Bugzilla to work with SELinux on CentOS? Thanks in advance! Mathieu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: SELinux is preventing the sendmail from using potentially mislabeled files ./spool (var_spool_t). Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the sendmail access to potentially mislabeled files ./spool. This means that SELinux will not allow httpd to use these files. Many third party apps install html files in directories that SELinux policy cannot predict. These directories have to be labeled with a file context which httpd can access. Allowing Access: If you want to change the file context of ./spool so that the httpd daemon can access it, you need to execute it using chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t './spool'. You can look at the httpd_selinux man page for additional information. Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:httpd_bugzilla_script_t Target Context system_u:object_r:var_spool_t Target Objects ./spool [ dir ] Source sendmail Source Path /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail Port <Unknown> Host <Unknown> Source RPM Packages sendmail-8.13.8-8.el5 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-279.el5_5.1 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name httpd_bad_labels Host Name www Platform Linux www 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 #1 SMP Tue Sep 21 05:04:09 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Mon Sep 27 02:07:43 2010 Last Seen Mon Sep 27 02:07:43 2010 Local ID 24372577-2d4c-4bbe-be6b-ea9100b7c3ed Line Numbers 11701, 11702 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1285546063.60:15): avc: denied { search } for pid=3420 comm="sendmail" name="spool" dev=dm-2 ino=158722 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_bugzilla_script_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1285546063.60:15): arch=c000003e syscall=80 success=no exit=-13 a0=7fffeddf6060 a1=17 a2=fff a3=0 items=0 ppid=3418 pid=3420 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=51 sgid=51 fsgid=51 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sendmail" exe="/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail" subj=system_u:system_r:httpd_bugzilla_script_t:s0 key=(null) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: SELinux is preventing sendmail (httpd_bugzilla_script_t) "create" to <Unknown> (httpd_bugzilla_script_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by sendmail. It is not expected that this access is required by sendmail and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

So i setup my initial test like this.... mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --chunk 1024 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 I have also read about near and far but was going to play with this and was wondering if anyone had any insights for 2 drives setup...Thanks...
