IPv6 under Centos?
by Timothy Murphy 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I wonder if anyone is running IPv6 under Centos-5.2? Particularly with shorewall? I see that shorewall6 is specifically designed for updating shorewall to IPv6, as described in <http://www.shorewall.net/IPv6Support.html>. Unfortunately, this explicity requires kernel 2.6.25 or later, and iptables 1.4.0 or later, both of which are later than any versions I've seen on a Centos repository. I'm wondering how safe it would be to install Fedora versions of the required kernel and iptables? Or is there any alternative to shorewall that is IPv6 compatible? I don't really want to run iptables directly, unless forced to do so, as I have found shorewall very reliable and simple to configure. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

rm user:group
by Matt 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I want to remove files but only if they are owned by a certain user and group. Basically I have this: find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -exec rm -f {} \; I want to make sure it only deletes files owned by mail. Basically no matter what weird characters are in the file names I want to make sure it does not delete anything outside of /var/spool/greylist. I can add 'sudo -u' to it but then my secure log gets filled with entries but perhaps thats the only way to do it. Matt

Installs like an appliance - it will stomp on several config files without warning. Best to try it out on a test box or virtual machine. Had to sort through many small scripts to get it to do what I wanted. Main ones I edited were /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions, /opt/drbl/lang/bash/en_US, /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default. Use only one network, shut off nis master, made it a secondary dhcpd server, NFS mount the image storage point off another box. The logger service /opt/drbl/sbin/ocsmgrd didn't work the way I liked, so I use cobbled something together using nc. Because I changed around some files, I have to be careful with drbl/clonezilla updates. I found it useful to have spare disk/LVM space on the server to restore images to, easier restore of a single file or dir. Needs to be equal/larger than the biggest client disk. I had to move it from an x86_64 to i386 Centos - not all my client cpus could run 64bit. PXE boot other stuff like systemrescue, C5 install/rescue, DBAN, etc. I never posted anything, but Steven Shiau, the maintainer, seems responsive to questions on the mail list. -- tkb

I did not know that you could install it on CentOS. I just started looking at it lately and can not get the live CD to work on new or old hardware. I have used PartImage and hoped it would be easier to use but no luck even getting it up to test yet. Glad to read that someone has gotten it to work.

need help with keyring
by Michael Klinosky 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)! Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, it puts up a window to get my default keyring password. Perhaps I needed to config something? Anyway, I found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager , which _seems_ to explain everything. However, my newbie-ness is interfering with this process. NB - I use gnome. The problem is that it's still asking for the default password. I'm fairly sure that I didn't *complete* that process (one issue - that password is different from my user password.) It states that I need (?) to change the keyring password to be the same as the user password - but I can't figure out how. The last sentence: (Using gnome-keyring-manager), "highlight the keyring and select Change Keyring Password from the Keyring menu of gnome-keyring-manager. I don't have 'Change' anything there - whether as $ or #. What do I need to do to satisfy it (so that it doesn't ask for the password)?

Identical yum configs, different results
by Rob Hutten 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi all, I have two new Centos 5.2 servers ("drizzle" and "fog"), both ROCKS headnodes installed from the same rolls. Identical `uname -a' output (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5, x86_64 etc), identical yum versions (Version: 3.2.8 Release: 9.el5.centos.1) with identical yum.conf files and identical repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d. To simplify things I've disabled all repos except the centos base on both servers: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch… baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 Octave is installed on drizzle: drizzle(a)/etc/yum.repos.d# yum info octave Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * centosplus: mirrors.portafixe.com * base: mirrors.portafixe.com * updates: mirrors.portafixe.com * extras: mirrors.portafixe.com * addons: mirrors.portafixe.com centosplus 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Installed Packages Name : octave Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 6 Version: 3.0.1 Release: 2.el5 Size : 33 M Repo : installed Summary: A high-level language for numerical computations Description: [etc...] And I'd like to install it on fog; however: [root@fog yum.repos.d]# yum info octave Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.portafixe.com * updates: mirrors.portafixe.com * centosplus: mirrors.portafixe.com * addons: mirrors.portafixe.com * extras: mirrors.portafixe.com Error: No matching Packages to list [root@fog yum.repos.d]# "yum install octave" gives the same error.

usb mouse config
by Michael Klinosky 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello. I have 5.2 running nicely on my Aspire laptop. It has a 'mousepad' (which I don't like), so I put a usb mouse on it. It works properly, but I (apparently) can't change the motion (in Preferences > Mouse, Motion tab). Any setting for the Acceleration and Sensitivity don't affect the motion. Do I have to config something somewhere else?
