wired network switch to wireless if not active
by Jerry Geis 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

All, I am wondering how one PC with a wired and wireless connection can have the wired IP active as long as there is a connection then if the wired connection goes away to then automatically, go wireless, then if wired comes back alive go back to wired. Is that kind of setup possible, if so how. This unit is always on - I just want whichever network is active and faster to be the active connection. The IP addresses for wired would 192.168.1.10 and wireless 192.168.1.20. GW is 192.168.1.1. Thanks, Jerry

CentOS FAQ
by Jim Smith 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I hadn't visited the centos forum for a long time and spotted http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/category.php?categoryid=7 Whilst it may not compare in content to the faq's of fedora/ubuntu at http://easylinux.info/wiki/Fedora it is a step in the right direction. The right additions to the FAQ may see a reduction of the frequently asked questions on the centos list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Boat loads of: 'localhost kernel: cdrom: open failed.'
by CentOS-List＠jamesplace.net 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Another question: How can a supress these messages from filling up my syslog file? Mar 1 01:31:26 localhost kernel: cdrom: open failed. Mar 1 01:31:57 localhost last message repeated 15 times Mar 1 01:31:59 localhost kernel: cdrom: open failed. Mar 1 01:32:01 localhost kernel: cdrom: open failed. I've got 'noauto' in /etc/fstab. I've also shut down 'autofs' So far the only way I can stop them is to put a cd in the drive. I'd prefer not not have any kind of auto mount system running if that helps. Thanks again. My fstab entries: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/zip auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Kickstart is my friend
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I just had to change the install command to use ftp. I had to uncomment all of the drive partitioning commands. At first I was confused as to the partitioning failure, then figured out that the partitioning commands were commented out. Most likely to prevent an unwanted disk clearing. Only things: Did stop at the bootup to create a user id. Not a big deal in this case, as I was logging on as root to do a yum update. X was started to give me a progress of the install. So I will want to figure out how to get that in character mode next time. Just on general principles. The time to learn Kickstart was **LESS** than going through a manual install with the network, drive, and apps configuration steps.

DNS Setting
by str tux 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hello People, In my DNS setting I added A record of www for our company website. It works, when you go to http://www.mycompany.com; it resolves and it shows the website content. But in addition, I want also some kind of redirection or mapping (i don't know what you called that) that when people go to http://mycompany.com (without www), it should forward also to the www server. How to do it? Thanks in advance. S.Tux

to <cr> or not
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

I have had some success (read no noticed problems), moving some text conf files from a Win <cr,lf> format to Linux and have them work. For example my zone files, moving them from my Win DNS server. But what about other files? I guess I want to know this more to prevent a mistake from crashing things, as I do have GEDIT. If I were to build an anaconda-ks.cfg in notepad, write it to a floppy then did a linux ks=floppy, would it work? I have search the archives and google, but either I am missing the right search words, or something.

yum/x86_64
by Les Mikesell 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Starting from the 4.2 Server install on x86_64 I did a "yum update", then "yum install openssl openssl-utils" and it appears to have installed an assortment of i386 programs and libs. How do I get rid of the wrong ones? Specifically, what I want is the right stuff to run the beta VMware server. It looks like it needs some X libs and yum wants to install i386 versions of those too. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

restarting on scalix - thankyou
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

thank you all for your help. Recently, ver 10 came out for scalix and it includes all the 'third party' pieces like JDK and Tomcat. So now I am reading up on kickstart to rebuild this system and start clean. I have copied all of my changed files (I hope!!) onto my notebook, and am doing the one mod i need for kickstart (original was a CD install, this time FTP). So I will know very shortly if this will all work! I see in the anaconda file the instructions for partitioning my hard drive, which is very good as I did not clearly write down what I did! Another fun filled day!

Updating my install directory
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Maybe YAM is the 'only' way to do this, and if so, well then its got to wait a while.... Situation: Right now the only usable disk space to locate the install CD files for an FTP/HTTP install is a Win2000 server. Accessed via FTP/HTTP. So when I do an install from it, I then need to do a yum update and it takes quite some time. At some point in the next quarter, I will be stable with Centos and my install will move to a Centos server and I guess then I would use YAM. Is there something I can download from one of the mirrors to bring this directory fairly up to date?
