G4-400mhz enough for CentOS 4.3?
by Chris Mauritz 18 May '06

18 May '06

It's that time again. I'm stuck with a bunch of older Powermac G4's that I either need to repurpose or give the heave ho. I've not tried CentOS on Mac hardware before. Would the following config be suitable for a (somewhat slow) workstation? PowerMac G4 400mhz 256mb RAM 40gig ATA disk Some sort of dual-head ATI video setup with 64mb VRAM (I've forgotten which cards they are) Cheers,

IMAP version
by Andrew Cotter 18 May '06

18 May '06

I run a number of Centos 3 & 4 servers, and the question is not specific to them, but I am assuming the answer would apply just the same. Is there any way to verify the version of IMAP (IMAP4 vs older) running on a server? I have a RH 7.X box up and has the standard email config. Not looking for the sendmail version, but a way to determine what IMAP standard it is using. Andrew

mysql problems
by William Warren 17 May '06

17 May '06

I installed plesk(first mistake at least here..<G>) and it got in my way in some area more than it helped. The first thing it did was deny root access to mysqld and i could not find the username and password for adding another database. I removed plesk and mysql. when i used yum to reinstall mysql i was then told root @ localhost was denied. I removed mysql again and nuked all of the mysql files i could find that were left behind. Now when i reinstall it won't even start. Any ideas? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Installing a RPM with yum
by Claudio Castro 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi all, this is my first post... Here the situation, I've installed php 4 with yum, using the default CentOS repositories, but now I realize that I need the Informix extensions and others like unixodbc, gd etc. This last two packages where in the repository so I search with yum and I found them, and install them, but not the Informix one. So here my question, when I install a RPM package, then, how I change or add extensions?? the same with Apache and ssl support . Any help would be apreciated Regards. Claudio

problems with kickstart %post and python/snack gui
by Brian Gehrich 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am having is that these scripts display properly, but do not accept input from the console. When anything is typed, it goes directly to the screen (including escape characters for arrows, escape, etc...). I've tried both a minimal installation and a "everything" installation and the results are the same. If I run the same command chrooted to /mnt/sysimage from the tty1 shell it works properly. Here are the relevant sections of my kickstart config... %post set -x ## post install script ## ## setup the environment ## export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=C export TERM=linux ## switch to tty3 ## /usr/bin/chvt 3 exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3 ## configure network on eth0 ## /usr/sbin/netconfig ## switch back to tty1 ## /usr/bin/chvt 1 ## end post install script ## Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. FYI, this works fine on Fedora Core 4... Thanks, Brian

Configuring a Kodak EZ200 Webcam in CentOS 4.3
by José Alburquerque 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi. I hate to ask because I'm not sure if this is one of those questions that don't "deserve an answer" but here goes: My friend gave me a Kodak EZ-200 Webcam (USB) recently and I'm trying to configure it for use under CentOS 4.3. I did a little research on the web and found that the Kodak EZ200 is supported using gphoto2 (http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html - search "EZ200" to see that it is in the list of supported cameras). My system has gphoto2-2.1.4-7 installed (I think this a system package), but when I look for EZ200 support (using 'gphoto2 --list-cameras'), the EZ200 is not listed. I also did an 'rpm -ql gphoto2' and noticed that there is no "shared object file" (libgphoto2_kodak_*.so) for the EZ200. Is it that the EZ200 is only supported in a "newer" version of gphoto2? Is it alright for me to install a newer version? I noticed that the gphoto2 website (http://www.gphoto.org/) has a tarball (version 2.1.99) that includes a spec file which I can certainly use to build an rpm. (Mind you, I just don't want to "break" my system or anything like that, although I would really like to get some use out of this webcam). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

vsftpd: users can delete files they don't possess
by Kai Schaetzl 17 May '06

17 May '06

FTP users can delete files in their home directory they don't possess (including files belonging to root:root!) with vsftpd. I have reproduced that with vsftpd 1.1 on Suse and 2.0 on CentOS. I don't think this should happen at all. I can't see that the documentation at http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html mentions this problem at all. How can I stop this? Kai

OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 vs. 2.0.2
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '06

16 May '06

Hi, I recently migrated from Slackware 10.2 to CentOS 4.3, upon advice of fellow Slacker and CentOS user Daniel de Kok. Been working very intensively for the last three weeks with it, and I must say: I really like it. This is the Real Work(tm) Distro I was always looking for! There's a practical reason for this: beginning on June 1st I will be chief sysadmin of our village's town hall. Don't be too impressed... besides the mayor and his dog, we're 900 people living here, mostly farmers... But the village got a nice budget to build an even nicer public "salle multimedia", the house is ready (with a nice view over the South French hills), and here's the scenario. About ten PC's will be acquired new, so they will be equipped with a shiny CentOS 4.3. The remaining PC's in the town hall will either get some light Linux distro (Slack with XFCE or something like this)... but some people here desperately cling to their Windows 98 or Windows XP and don't want this Linux thing. At least two Windows machines here are equipped with the latest OpenOffice.org. Now there's a slight compatibility issue. OO 2.0.x defaults to the .odt file format, which OO 1.2.2 can't read. I know that stock rpm's from openoffice.org *can* be installed, but I think it would be a pity to ruin the otherwise great artwork consistency (I have to seduce the new Linux users, remember). The latest Fedora 5 came out, and I see that there's a source rpm available at rpm.pbone.net. Unfortunately, I'm on dialup here, and there's no chance I can get this until next week. Plus, I'm only a beginner with source RPM's, and OO is somewhat of a bear to compile. Now what if one of the gurus here gave it a shot? Got some bandwidth and some CPU to spare? Or maybe evaluate my chances as to the outcome? Or is it better to tell the Windows people to default to .sxw and stick with the present version (which, I must say, looks quite bug-free)? Cheers, Niki Kovacs
