Mixing FTP and HTTP file transfers
by John Hinton 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

How do I deal with this? A content management system which writes to a user's directory as user apache. A customer that wants to be able to FTP through a FTP client and vsftpd those same files up and down, which is presently set to work with only their username. I don't want everything set 777 or even 707. Is there a way to allow a particular user to download and upload files owned by apache, and I would assume, when uploading, those files will need to be chown apache so the CMS can access and update them? I'm looking for a best solution which is not going to be troublesome in the future and which is not going to have adverse effects on security. Thanks, John Hinton

by Henry Rodriguez 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

I downloaded the Centos-SPARC cd's via bittorrent but when try to install i got the next message: Can't open boot device I thought it was a problem with the Sun MicroSystem NETRA T1. Then i tried to install other OS and it worked O.K. So i downloaded the isos in other PC and burned them at 4X but i got the same problem. I just want to know if there's another repository where i can downloaded them, besides this one: http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.2beta/isos/sparc/ thanks again. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

web & printer servers
by JC 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi list, I have a Centos server (192.168.1.10) and HP printer (LaserJet 4250dtn) with IP 192.168.1.20. HP printer is connecting to my server via Ethernet and I can print ok. What I want to do now is trying to tie HP printer to my server, so when I type http://192.168.1.10/printers/, I'll see my HP printer and be able to connect to it, then print. Has anyone got this to work? Please help!!! I google and found nothing that can help me accomplish this task. Thank you so much for your helps. JC

Printing from apps as a regular user...
by Jose Alburquerque 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged in after a few seconds for others to have (limited) access to the system. Mostly everything works (ie. CD/DVD writing, sound, floppy access, etc.) But when it comes to printing, only a specific "lpr" at the command prompt does the job. I've tried printing from mozilla, ggv and firefox without success. The funny thing is that an app such as gedit does print. (I'm guessing it's because gedit uses some sort of a2ps -> lpr combination). I have an Epson Stylus C82 connected via a USB cable and my system is running CUPS. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks so much. Sincerely Jose

I can't figure this one out. There's a Belken USB->Ethernet adapter as eth2 on my server.

RFI: recommendation for temperature monitoring
by Kari Salovaara 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Good morning gurus, I would like to get recommendation for monitoring temperature for cpu using Asus P5WD2 motherboard and Intel D 820. I my installation has CPU cooling system changed from Intel bulk to Zalman CNPS9500 and it works. Normal Intel cooling system is not enough and is overheating cpu quite badly. Unfortunately Zalman has to be controlled (rpms) manually and thus I would like to see the temperature. Which program is doing well this task ? Regards, Kari

/dev/console not getting created...
by James Olin Oden 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hi All, I've been trying to put together a one off CentOS 4 based distro, and I ran into some trouble. First off just so you know we've been doing this with CentOS 3 and with RedHat 9 before that, so the inexperience is only with the delta between CentOS 3 and CentOS 4 (and RHEL 3 and RHEL 4 by extension). Anyway, the problem is that for some reason /dev/console is not getting created. We get completely through the installation, in what looks like a successful manner, but when we reboot at the point init would come up with see nothing at all, and there it sits. I went through many contortions including including using bash as init and then starting init manually with strace turned on. This all lead to the conclusion that for some reason init was not getting a console. I happened to look in the dev directory between a normal minimal install of CentOS 4 and our "minimal install" and noticed there was no /dev/console. I manually added this and now the system boots fine. For now I've added the creation of /dev/console to the end of the kickstart's %post, which works, but does anyone have any ideas why its not being created? Thanks...james
