Re: [CentOS] Multi-button mice and Linux?
by Brian T. Brunner 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Yes. I'm forwarding this home where I have CentOS 4.2 with a wheel mouse, it's not wireless, but I'll give you brand/model info ASAP. Pass me a few clues what you'll want to do with your mouse and I'll say whether I can give a Yes/No/Unknown on those abilities.

How well supported are they? I've had to get one recently for work. I was diagnosed with CTS and I now wear braces and use a wireless Intellimouse. Works great at work with Windows, but I'm unsure how much, if any support there is for Linux. Anyone have experience with this?

Re: [CentOS] dags repo after 4.2 update

Yes. Then it went away, then it came back. dag repository is (again) nopped out of /etc/yum.conf. I know I'm a dummy, but this time, the problem may lie elsewhere.

I don't know what the problem is. Either the file is empty on the filesystem (corruption on the filesystem level or problems with rsync or NFS) or the web server is handing out empty files under certain conditions. Without access to the system I have no clue whether the filesystem is the problem or it is Apache related. I bet it is Apache's problem as mirrors of Heanet do not seem to have this problem. (This is different than when it was a NFS problem with the same symptoms) I checked and I currently do not see a problem: http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml I have seen all sorts of reports from people saying that it sometimes works, sometimes not, and people saying it never works. Also not sure if it could be proxy or transparant-proxy related. If you could check whether there are times where Apache logs a zero-file transfer for repomd.xml (or other files in the repository) that might help find the cause.

multiple MX records
by Tom 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi all, I have 2 servers, 1 is DNS master and the other slave for a domain, if I was to add a second MX record using the master servers IP for the domain thats hosted on the slave would mail be held on the masters mail queue if the slave was down? I am wanting to have mail held when the slave is down so it gets delivered immediately it comes back up instead of being held on other servers for up to 8 hours before I get it. hope that makes sense. tom

Trouble with finding a network printer...help please...:(((
by Olaf Greve 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi all, I'm sorry to have to ask a probably straightforward question, but I'm stuck at it, and I need access to the printer for my work...:/ The situation: When first installing CentOS, I manually installed a networked printer, and that worked fine. AFAIR I installed it using the IP address, and the generic Postscript driver. The printer in question is a Xante Accelawriter 3N. The issue: After one of the latest automatic kernel updates, for some reason the printer was not found anymore. I've been trying to get it set up afterwards, and so far I've not succeeded. :((( I do not remember anymore how I did it exactly previously, but it seems the only two ways to use this printer on our (probably not completely well configured) network are via TCP/IP and Appletalk. Now, try as I might, I cannot get it to work anymore. I tried finding it over TCP/IP by its IP address, but no luck so far. Does anyone know how to go about this? If this is somehow off-topic for the list, off-list replies are also elcome of course. Thanks in advance, and cheers! Olafo

I have to replace our old Sun Enterprise fileserver (solaris8), which does NFS and Samba (homedirectories, projects file space). It will be x86 hardware, but I'm looking for the best filesystem for the job (let's say one terabyte). It has to have quota and ACL support. I'm doing CentOS on servers these days, but I presume ext3 is not the best choice in this case. Previous postings of yours suggest XFS is the way to go. However, it seems hard to find an enterprise class linux distro with XFS incorporated? And how does a FreeBSD solution compare to linux/ext3 or linux/xfs? What are the considerations in case of a NAS filer instead of a raid-box connected to hostmachine?
