23 Jan '10

hi all, i have a centos 5.4 64 bit system running on the base hardware of my system and have windows machines running in virtual in vmware workstation. i need something to *voice chat* with *GTALK* users. In the windows VMs i can install gtalk for windows which does support voice chat, but the problem there is the microphone doesnt get detected inside the VMs. incase of centos installed on the base i can get the microphone but i can find a utility to voice chat. i have heard of empathy, but i cant find a yum repository for it. anyway i can get the mic detected inside the VM? or any utility for voice chat with Gtalk users in centos ?? can anyone plz help me with it? thanks, Arvind

Centos security sshv1
by Alejandro Rodriguez Luna 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi all! I was scanning my servers with nmap, ( i have installed ssh), and the result gave me this: 22/tcp open ssh sshv1: Server Supports SSHv1 ssh-keyhost: 1024 ea:7e:77:b7:a1:78:18:70:6c:46:ee:a0:dd:08:0e:74 (RSA1) 1024 ba:d0:8a:44:16:fc:7c:7a:38:24:2e:72:06:fe:99:56 (DSA) 1024 ff:43:15:78:98:3c:75:f9:12:36:58:92:46:6c:1c:99 (RSA) could this be a threat for intruders? i know that sshv1 should be avoided, but all i want to know is if with that information, a intruder could compromise my server?

OT: free DNS service?
by Lanny Marcus 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

I have been using a free DNS service for the past seven (7) years. This morning, at 4 A.M., , I changed the "A" record for one of my web sites, to point to an IP address on a different server, so I could test. After watching the TTL count down from 3600 to zero, with the "dig" command, it then reset to 3600, but still resolved to the original IP address. :-) I set the "A" record back to the original IP address and filed a Support Ticket with that company, but if they cannot get this to work properly again, I need a new DNS service that is free. Recommendations? (BTW, the Domain is registered with GoDaddy, but not hosted there, so it appears I cannot use their "Total DNS" service). TIA!

apcupsd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Here's an odd one: I installed apcupsd, and it works with most of our UPSs. I'd swear it worked on this one. Then I replaced the Gin-u-wine APC batteries, which were dead, with new ones, non-APC. They're just dumb batteries, no chips or whatever on them. If I hook it up using a serial cable, I can get info. If I hook it up the way I had it, with APC's weird USB cable - and this is the way it was working before - it fails. I run apctest, and it gives me: Attached to driver: usb sharenet.type = DISABLE cable.type = USB_CABLE You are using a USB cable type, so I'm entering USB test mode mode.type = USB_UPS Setting up the port ... Hello, this is the apcupsd Cable Test program. This part of apctest is for testing USB UPSes. Getting UPS capabilities...SUCCESS Then I tell it to do the self test, and get: This test instructs the UPS to perform a self-test operation and reports the result when the test completes. Clearing previous self test result...CLEARED Initiating self test...INITIATED Waiting for test to complete...ERROR READING STATUS 12.976 apcupsd: linux-usb.c:802 HIDIOCGREPORT for function SelftestStatus failed. ERR=Input/output error Now, I've even found an rpm that was *not* two+ years old, as what comes with CentOS 5.4, current update, and get the same error. In addition, even though the batteries are fully charged, and the info I get via the serial cable says they're at 100%, the red "change battery" light is still on on the front of the UPS. Hitting the "test" button doesn't help; I was hoping running the self-test that's available via the USB connection would reset it, but I can't do that. Any clues for the poor? mark

I need to provide a means for our people to stop using the mail server as a file server, a web site with a friendly interface has been asked for instead of an ftp server. Anyone know of something/project that exists already? Thanks! jlc

Add /sbin to sudo PATH
by Samuel Contesse 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hello, Does anyone have an idee how to add /sbin to the sudo $PATH environment? Adding /sbin to .bashrc $PATH isn't really what I want... I'd like sudoers to be able to run: $ sudo chkconfig And not: $ sudo /sbin/chkconfig Thanks Sam
