fedora directory server (FDS)
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 01 May '06

01 May '06

Thanks Craig for your soon answer.. I've now the FDS up and running... I am now creating my users in FDS because I want to unify the authentication of my 3 centos servers. BUT, When I create my users in FDS I don't see any option of UID, GID, home directory, etc, so the FDS server return an error and my remote users can't authenticate....... my question is? 1. Can I use FDS to authenticate remote linux users? I mean create in FDS a user with UID, GID, home directory. 2. Can I set up another server with authconfig (Use LDAP Authentication) pointing to my FDS? 2. Does FDS do exactly the same of openldap? 3. Does anybody knows any way to migrate all users from /etc/passwd to FDS? (I know openldap does) 4. Is FDS better than Openldap? PD: I just want set up a LDAP server to my network to unify all my servers. Regards; Israel

Hi, Why if Redhat directory server or fedora directory server is open source, there is not a centos directory server rpm? Can I use the fedora directory server on centos? Regards; Israel

Hi, Has anyone got samba/cups handing out print drivers for windows clients working with the cups/samba from CentOS 4.3? If so, maybe a few pointers? What should I download and from where... etc. Cheers, MaZe.

troubleshooting kernel crash?
by Kai Schaetzl 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

I'm getting kernel crashes on a new machine since it went into production some weeks ago. How can I troubleshoot this? I suspect a hardware problem, but I know too few about the kernel and kernel debugging on Linux to know how I can nail this down with debugging software. Just for reference of what kind these oopses are I quote the last two. The symptom is that the machine stops responding but is pingable. After a reset all is well until the next crash in ten days or so.

Alert icon for yum
by José Alburquerque 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the "System Tools" menu) which when run appears in a "status area" in a panel to show whether the system needs updating or not. This applet shows the up2date sources, but my question is: Is there any way to have some sort of similar applet that does this for yum. I just think that when we add repos we usually add them through yum. Also when we update the system we usually use yum. Hence I think it would be better to use an applet similar to up2date's for yum so that there is no need to edit both yum and up2date files and there is consistency between when the applet signals a need for updating and the actual "yum update" command. Am I making sense? I found a site (http://fedoranews.org/tchung/yum-applet/) with the source for a yum applet. I know I can build this for myself, but I was wondering what others on this list think and whether such an applet should be more widely available to the general CentOS audience. Can I go ahead and build this for my system? TIA for your answers. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque
