setuid or other ideas
by Gregory P. Ennis 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Everyone, I am working on a Centos 5.9 system. I have an need to be able to activate a piece of software from /etc/smrsh that is activated when sendmail delivers the e-mail to this piece of software. I would like this piece of software to take on the user and group identities that are different than 'mail' which is what happens now. I want to use a user and group that is not root), so that the piece of software will be able to write (concatenate) to a file. I have never used setuid, but it appears that this will only allow a piece of software to be set to root. I really do not want to give that kind of privilege to this piece of software. Any ideas? -- Greg Ennis PoMec Corporation www.PoMec.Net

no group package selection via PXE network installation
by Riccardo Castellani 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

I'm trying to install centos 6.4 on my server A (which has 512 MB ram and no cdrom) by PXE. I exported installation tree 'CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso' via http on server 'Z', all according to Centos howto (copied vmlinuz, pxelinux.cfg, initrd.img , started tftpd+dhcpd services) Boot process is OK (in text mode! I think it's a memory problem); it's required keyboard type, time zone, network parameters, disk partitions, ... but no installation type is required (basic, minimal, server, ...) and no packages selection ! Installation goes on installing the packages but without choosing them! I'd like to choose type of installation and the details of packages, any options as I used directly installation dvdrom1. I don't want to use kickstart file ! My 'pxelinux.cfg/default' file: timeout 9000 default menu.c32 menu title ########## PXE Boot Menu ########## label 1 menu label ^1) Install CentOS 6 kernel centos64/vmlinuz append initrd=centos64/initrd.img repo=http://a.b.x.y/centos6 devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=152000 label 2 menu label ^2) Boot from local drive localboot What do you think ?

Hello, this is my first time sending to this list. I tried to found the most appropriate place to ask my question, and the most matching list was this. I hope not to be off-topic. Today, I tried to make a yum update to my centos machines, and I got an error for the updates channel. The error was: Metadata file does not match checksum Is there an issue on this?

Form Feed on RAW printer
by Juan De Mola 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi all. On CentOS 4 I was able to set a text only printer and send raw data and form feed on the end. Now on CentOS 5/6 I only have the option to set it RAW or text only but not the previous mix. How I can get it to work the same way? In most cases we use 5.x. Thanks -- Juan Pablo De Mola Rodríguez

VNC
by Larry Martell 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

I'm trying to set up a VNC server using the instructions at http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/linux-101-easy-vnc-s… . I am up to step 6: Step 6: Edit iptables In order for the VNC connections to get through, you must allow them with iptables. To do this, open up the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables and add the line: -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5901:5903,6001:6003 -j ACCEPT Save the file and restart iptables with the command: service iptables restart When I issue the restart command I get: iptables: Applying firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 1 failed [FAILED] Note that I did not have an iptables file before but there is an iptables-config file. Can someone help me complete this configuration. Thanks! -larry

SSH login from user with empty password
by Michael Schultz 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hello list, on a CentOS 6.4 machine I'm creating accounts with empty passwords. Each user's public key is located in <user's home>/.ssh/authorized_keys. When trying to ssh into that machine, following error message is displayed: Permission denied (publickey). In /etc/ssh/sshd_config I've set: PasswordAuthentication no UsePAM no If I set a password for the users, the public key auth works without any problems. Could anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Thanks Michael

CentOS 6.4: sound not working
by Jeff Layton 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Good morning, I've got a new system with a fresh 6.4 installation. I didn't check if the sound worked at first but I know it doesn't now. :) The system board is an ASRock Extreme6. The Specs say it has a Realtek ALC1150 audio chipset and 7.1 channels. I'm running KDE and an Nvidia X driver (I need the video performance of this driver - sorry about that). The System Tools for Audio Output list 4 devices: HDA Intel (HDA Generic) Default PulseAudio HDA NVidia (HDMI 0) The speakers are connected via the typical audio jack and when I test "HDA Intel (HDA General)" it says that the default device did not work and it is using the PulseAudio device. I tested all 4 devices and nothing ever played. I've also made sure I have the audio jack plugged into the right port on the board :) I Googled a bit and one site suggested reinstalling the alsa kernel module, which I did. No change - still no sound. Any suggestions? Thanks! Jeff

Sound Volume Setting At Login
by Mark LaPierre 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hey all, When I log on my sound level is set at about 35%. I have to use the sound preferences to turn the sound level up every time I log in. Other users on this same system do not have this issue. When they log in their volume is set at 100%. This leads me to believe that there must be something in my local settings that is turning down my sound volume settings. Does anyone have a clue were the config file might be that is causing this to happen to me and not to others? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****
