by Victor Padro 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Hello all, I just been wasting time with an Asus mobo trying to get CentOS/RHEL up and running for my home lab using Xen Technologies and need an advice in order to have a fully working Box, got any suggestions? which chipsets are the best out of the box for Centos AMD platform (AMD based, nVidia based, Ati Based)? (this could be a plus) I already have the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Processor AM2 Socket, 6Gb RAM to use(maybe more), a IBM Netserver xSeries 205 Case and a 250gb SATA HD. thanks in advance. Cheers.

mod_rewrite issue
by Gary 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

I'm installing Drupal 6.2 in the document root of a CentOS 5 install using httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1. I'm using a virtual host entry with the following rewrite rule to enable "clean" URLs: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [R,L,QSA] This works fine expect the user still sees the "ugly" URL in the address bar. However, if I remove the R, it breaks completely. Any clues? I can send more of my httpd.conf if you think it'll help. much thanks, Gary

"invest" applet in centos 5.1 seems to be inoperative
by Charles Campbell 04 Jun '08

Hello! I figured it'd be interesting to see a miniature graph of the Dow Jones on my panel bar. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to do anything, and the preferences for it isn't helpful (it already has DJIA). So, any suggestions on how to get it to work? Regards, Charles Campbell

try using autofs. ----- Original Message ---- From: James Pearson <james-p(a)moving-picture.com> To: centos(a)centos.org Sent: Wednesday, June 4, 2008 19:42:18 Subject: [CentOS] Mounting cifs shares by non-root users on CentOS 4.6 I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via /etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at: <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares> Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page (with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up): //winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=sushi,password=yummy 0 0 When as a non-root user I do: % mount /mnt/win mount error 1 = Operation not permitted Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) Running mount as root works fine, but I can not get it to work for non-root users. Any ideas?

by David Hláčik 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Hello . i want to ask several questions : 1) Is INN on Centos5.1 compiled with python auth hooks support? 2) If i want my messages on news server to keep forever (history) , should i change expire.ctl? What i need to set 3) Is there some configuration which i need to set to be able to use python auth hooks? Or can i simple proceed with adding them to readers.conf ( I allready tested my nnrpd_auth.py with nnrpd.py, which is working (nnrpd module is imported ). Thanks in advance!

Finding module name for SCSI host adapter for a given SCSI target
by Robert Nichols 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Given a path to a SCSI device, e.g. "DEV=/dev/st1", I need to find the name of the kernel module for the SCSI host adapter that controls that target. The objective is to be able to unload and reload the kernel module when the drive gets into a state that requires a SCSI bus reset for recovery. The best I've been able to come up with so far is: SCSIMOD=$(cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/${DEV##*/}/device/../../scsi_host:host*/proc_name) Anyone know of a way that is a bit less convoluted? -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.

CentOS 64bits can't boot
by Victor Padro 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Hello all, I got this tiny problem, I bought an Asus m2n-vm hdmi mobo two weeks ago and it seems not to be fully working under centos amd64(4.6, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1) or even redhat EL 5.0 i386, amd64, I tried to install centos and redhat EL using the linux dd and linux noprobe commands to load driver disk from nVidia guys but it doesn't detect the HD I'm using their diferent versions of the driver RHEL 4_U5, 4_U6 , 5, 5_U1 , then if I change the IDE config in the BIOS from SATA to AHCI, it detects the SATA HD during the install process, but when it boots up, it tells me to "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key", but nothing happens...then I change the BIOS IDE setting back to SATA, and it boots but it gives me a kernel panic saying "could not mount such file system, not such file or directory", it doesn't load up the drivers at the linux noprobe way, nor even the forcedeth or the sata_nv. I read in ubuntu and fedora forums that they're supported in Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 and Fedora 7, 8, 9, haven't test them yet though, I want to stick with Centos bcos thats my working enviroment. What can I do? Here are my specs: Asus msn-vm hdmi Chipset Nvidia GeForce7050PV/nForce630a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 2.5Ghz Dual core 6Gb RAM Kingston 250 HDD SATA2 LG IDE DVD-ROM I'm trying to use this setup in my home lab to test out Xen technology and techniques. cheers, Victor. P.S. sorry for my english

CentOS-Samba question
by MHR 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

My main system is a CentOS 5.1 64-bit desktop with gobs of disk and a couple of printers attached that work just fine. I have it set up with samba so my VMWare guest Windows XP can access most of the files and the printers. But, when I try to connect to the printers from a remote machine that has a Win98/WinXP dual boot, I can't see the printers at all. Both 98/XP can ping the host by IP address or by name (I've updated the host on both and the lmhost file on the 98 boot), but the 98 boot can't see the network at all, and the XP boot can't see anything on my CentOS box, although it at least sees that the box is there. Here's my smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MARKHOME domain master = yes preferred master = yes server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 password server = none username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 wins support = yes dns proxy = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S path = /home/%u create mask = 664 directory mask = 775 writeable = yes browseable = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp writeable = yes guest ok = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes printable = yes What am I missing? Thanks. mhr
