Re: [CentOS] In the press, once again
by Gabriel Ogunleye 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Thank you *SO* much! I needed some real world evidence to prove that syncing large amounts of data across windows is a PITA! I'm currently doing something so similar! And I use linux to do it, and no one can understand why. That link has been printed, and strategically left on someones desk, with a post-it note sayin - This is why I use linux :) -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Timo Schoeler Sent: 24 September 2010 14:23 To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] In the press, once again May be a little bit off topic, but this gave me hard laugh: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/24/sysadmin_file_tools/ Windows admins use a virtualized CentOS machine to copy files because their own tools are not able to handle copying a bigger amount of data. :) Cheers, Timo _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Disabling IPv6 Auto Configuration
by Ryan Wagoner 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

I am using stateless auto configuration for most of my clients. For the servers I prefer to manually assign the address. I have defined the IPv6 address in the ifcfg-eth0 file and set IPV6_AUTOCONF=no. However ifconfig shows both the auto configured and manually assigned address. Looking around I found that net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra is set to 1 by default. The ifup-ipv6 is setting net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra to 0 like it should. From what I can tell the auto configuration is happening right before net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra is set to 0. If I define net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 0 in sysctl.conf IPV6_AUTOCONF works as expected for both yes and no settings. Has anybody else noticed this behavior? Ryan

CentOS, Firefox, and Java Plugin
by Glenn Eychaner 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

The latest updates to CentOS 5.5 seem to have broken the Java plugin, and have defeated any and all attempts to get it working again. I'm running CentOS 5.5 (32-bit) and Firefox 3.6.9 (installed from the CentOS repository); I've tried BOTH the openJDK plugin available through the Argeo repositories, and installing Java 1.6.0 directly from Sun/Oracle and creating the plugin soft link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Neither works at all. This was working a while ago, but it broke and I didn't notice. Thanks for any help you can provide, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

Logwatch verbosity
by Timothy Murphy 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

I'm getting literally hundreds of lines in my daily logwatch (under Centos-5.5), reading --------------------------------------- NULL security context for user, but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing () --------------------------------------- These began when I started running fail2ban (with shorewall), though that is probably a coincidence. In any case, what does this line mean, and is there any way of stopping it (short of stopping selinux)? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity ollege, Dublin 2, Ireland

I'm running CentOS release 4.8. For security reasons, I have to modify openssl's ssl.h in /usr/include/openssl/. That's easy. But for the new settings to take effect, I have to recompile openssl. I do have openssl-devel installed. How do I recompile? === Al

using NUT on centos 5
by fred smith 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hi! Trying to set up NUT on Centos 5 to monitor a CyberPower 1500AVR UPS. There seem to be many documents, all of which seem to be not fully consistent with each other, and most of them aren't up to date. I'm guessing I should be using udev rather than hal, but I'm somewhat stumped on how to figure out what device it should be monitoring. there are a bunch of udev rules installed (in /lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules) but it's not at all clear to me what, if anything, I'm supposed to do with them, or how I cause udev to see them there and do its thing. there's a document at http://fedoranews.org/contributors/kazutoshi_morioka/nut/ but it doesn't show how to do it with a USB device, only serial. so I decided to move on and see if it could be made to work without that understanding, using whatever I could figure out using the INSTALL file that comes with NUT. And that isn't geting me anywhere, so far. If anyone out there has had success at setting up NUT on Centos 5 (or RHEL) and can offer any advice, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
