Lan Kernel Problem
by Linux Man 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

I'm building a Linux box to act as Proxy/Router/Firewall. I'm using CentOS 4.5, with an "old" motherboard (Asus A8V-X), and two Ethernet NIC, based on a realtek chip, that's widely supported under 2.4 and later kernel (the cards were functioning excellent in another PC whit Fedora Core 1). CentOS detects the on board LAN, but not the other two, in fact, knoppix 5.0.1 doesn't detect too (kernel 2.6.17), but, Knoppix 5.1.1 (kernel 2.6.19) detects all three cards. Do you have any idea why this behavior? Centos 5.0 detects all three too, but I don't now why, my firewall script (ipv4) doesn't work with this release. Now, thank you very much! Best Regards.

Samba, AD and non AD Machines
by Shawn Everett 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi All, I have configured Samba 3.0.23 to work with Active Directory. Based on all the tests shown here: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html#adssdm Things are working as expected. Most machines and users are working as expected. I do have some Windows machines on another subnet, NOT joined to the domain that are giving me grief. Going to Start->Run->\\ip.of.samba.server I get the following error: The format for the computer name is invalid I can ping the samba server without problems. Reviewing the Samba logs I see: "pam auth crap domain" messages in winbind.log In the machine.log file I see: [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(221) check_ntlm_password: Checking password for unmapped user [domain]\[acronis]@[COMPUTER] with the new password interface [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(224) check_ntlm_password: mapped user is: [domain]\[acronis]@[SORTER] [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:push_sec_ctx(208) push_sec_ctx(0, 0) : sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 1 [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] smbd/uid.c:push_conn_ctx(345) push_conn_ctx(0) : conn_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(241) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 1 [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:pop_sec_ctx(339) pop_sec_ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(319) check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [acronis] -> [acronis] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME [2007/10/23 03:05:17, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(146) error packet at smbd/sesssetup.c(99) cmd=115 (SMBsesssetupX) NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm trying to install Skype on a CentOS 4.4 system and I've followed the instructions on the Skype website at http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/repositories.html but when I run yum install skype it fails with a whole string of error messages, ending with Error: failure: RPMS/libsigc++20-2.0.17-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm from rpmforge: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

multipath using 2 NICs (or HBA?)
by Scott Moseman 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I'm told that we cannot do Multipath I/O on our iSCSI SAN on RHEL with 2 network cards. I could use 1 network card, but need an HBA. Is this true? Do I need an HBA, or can I do Multipath using 2 NICs? We're running RHEL 4 and CentOS 4 and 5 servers on this network. I have been reading through the device-mapper documentation, but I have not found anything (unless I'm not clear on what they're saying). Eventually I will give it a try but I haven't had the time to fiddle so far. Thanks, Scott

Hi We have up until now been a Dell shop but are looking at HP. I would normally monitor hardware by installing OMSA from dell and then using nagios as the monitor. Are there tools for HP that would allow me to do similar? thanks

23 Oct '07

I am forwarding this exchange from the BIND 9 list (I posted the question) because it seems relevant. any comment on this? Is it for the North American Linux Distributor to fix, or is it something the CentOS folks can do? > When my 64-bit Centos5 machine boots up, I see the following messages: > process `rndc' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT process > `named' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT This is an unfortunate linuxism. The kernel people put this warning in, but left SO_BSDCOMPAT defined in their header files, so you can't get around it by using #ifdef SO_BSDCOMPAT. BIND 9 has a linux kernel version check that's supposed to prevent it from setting that socket option on kernels that don't need it... but I guess it doesn't work on CentOS5, I've no idea why not. The proper fix would be for the linux people to stop issuing this warning in production kernels. In the meantime, you can shut it up by editing lib/isc/unix/socket.c and changing the function clear_bsdcompat() so it always sets bsdcompat to ISC_FALSE.

restrict network access
by Arne Pelka 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi, I have two pc using centos 4, these machines need only access to the (big, class b) local network. Because of security reasons the network access should be restricted to this local network - mainly the users of these pc should not be able to access webpages outside of the local network. My problem is, that I have no own centos repository and therefore these two pc need access to the centos mirrors to get updates. What would be the best way to restrict the network access to the local network and allow the access to some external addresses (a centos mirror and maybe some other servers/websites). I was thinking about iptables but I'm not very experienced in this questions - maybe there is an easier way. The configuration with iptables seems to be very complex, I was skimming through some tutorials and the man pages. In thanks and with best reagrds, Arne

how does one remove bond1?
by J. Potter 22 Oct '07

Hi List, We're using bonding to create bond0 with 2 NICs, and noticing that CentOS 5 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 (and presumably older) creates bond1 as well. I'd like to remove bond1 from the system, so that our monitoring scripts don't pick it up, except for those machines that actually do have a bond1. So... how does one remove bond1? Thanks! Misc info below of configuration and what doesn't work. best, Jeff % cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep bond alias bond0 bonding options bond0 max_bonds=2 miimon=100 mode=1 % find /etc/ -iname "*bond1*" | wc -l 0 % grep -r bond1 /etc/ 2> /dev/null | wc -l 0 % cat /sys/class/net/bonding_masters bond0 bond1 % echo "bond0" > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters -bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted % id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) ...

Software RAID: on same IDE port or on different ones?
by Kai Schaetzl 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I have a general question on software RAID performance. If using two IDE disks on RAID 1: is there much of a difference performancewise if I put both on one IDE port as master and slave or should I better put them on seperate ports. I remember from olde days that it was recommended to put CD and hard disk on different ports to maximize the throughput between them and as RAID1 is theoretically writing to both disks at the same time I guess putting them on different ports might be an advantage. Is it one or is it negligible? Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

C5 i386 DVD boot problems
by Scott Ehrlich 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I tried to boot from two different CentOS 5 DVDs, both pass the checksum test, and both give me the same error on a Dell laptop from either GUI or text install modes: invalid compressed format (err=2) VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(253,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic... I did some google searching and learned other people have had the same problem, but no resolutions were ever posted. I'm downloading the CD version and will see if that makes any difference. Assuming it won't make a difference, how do I resolve this so I can get CentOS installed on the system? Thanks. Scott

22 Oct '07

I have 2 new boxes that I cannot use yet because of problems supporting these newer chipsets in 5.1. Does anyone know when the CD version of 5.0 x86-64 that has support for these chipsets be available on any on a Centos mirror? Has the support for these chipsets been added to yum yet? Here are my latest results with these chipsets and Centos 5.1 1. Asus P5K, E6850, P35 Chipset: Does not boot or install without "acpi=off all-generic-ide irqpoll nommconf" Also, when it does boot it does not recognize LAN and video hangs loading gnome. I tried install the Asus Linux driver for the mobo but 'make install' produces error that kernel sources cannot be found. 2. Asus P5K-VM, Q6600, G33 chipset: Installs and boots as long as "acpi=off" switch used. But I understand this disables multi-core support. LAN and video are working. thx -- Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

new freenx and nx RPMS released, manual action for x86_64
by Johnny Hughes 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

There are new RPMS released for nx and freenx in the CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 Extras repository. I normally do not announce that here, as those can easily be obtained on a normal "yum upgrade/update", however in this case there are special actions required *_IF_* you have the x86_64 architecture for either CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 with the current versions of nx and freenx installed. The freenx and nx in the x86_64 tree were i386 versions prior to this release because the nomachine code would not compile on x86_64. This release fixes that and the new versions are x86_64 RPMS and no longer i386. This means that YUM will not update the currently installed i386 RPMS that are installed on x86_64 machines. ============= *_ATTENTION_* ============= If you are running nx and freenx on x86_64, to get these upgraded you *_MUST_*: 1. Manually download the x86_64 RPMS from these location: CentOS-5: <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/freenx-0.7.1-1.el5.cen…> <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/nx-3.0.0-4.el5.centos.…> CentOS-4: <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/x86_64/RPMS/freenx-0.7.1-1.el4.cen…> <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/x86_64/RPMS/nx-3.0.0-4.el4.centos.…> 2. Manually install these two RPMS with this command (as root from within the directory where you downloaded them): rpm -Uvh freenx-0.7.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm nx-3.0.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm (that command is all one line if it wraps on your e-mail) ============= I apologize for the manual update requirement, however yum will not update i386 packages with x86_64 ones. Again ... this is *_ONLY_* required if you have the prior released i386 versions of nx and freenx installed on the X86_64 arch of either CentOS-4.x or CentOS-5.x. If you are using the i386 architecture of CentOS-4.x or CentOS-5.x then you can just upgrade via yum normally. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

CentOS upgrade in Xen domU?
by Mike Edwards 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I'm running into a slight problem trying to upgrade a CentOS 4.4 install to 5.0. The configuration: CentOS 4.4 is an old install that used to boot natively. That has since been backed up and restored to two seperate LVs (as the original install had two partitions). The host system now runs Debian, and I've been able to successfully boot the old CentOS 4.4 install under Xen (with a Debian domU kernel, but that's besides the point). I've decided to upgrade the CentOS domU to CentOS 5. After determining that the recommended upgrade path is to do so via the installer, I grabbed the CentOS installer kernel/ramdisk and configured my domU to boot from those. The installer comes up without a problem. Things get hairy when the installer takes a look at the 'disks'. I receive the following message: /dev/xvda currently has a loop partition layout. To use this disk for the installation of CentOS, it must be re-initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. It looks like the installer doesn't like the fact that there are no partitions (which is correct, as the 'disk' is actually a logical volume under lvm). As I'm trying to do an upgrade, and not blow away my existing setup, this isn't going to work. My question, therefore, is - how do I tell the CentOS 5 installer to ignore the fact that there are no partitions, and to simply do the install? As mentioned previously, the CentOS domU does boot perfectly fine, and given the prevalence of volume groups, logical volumes and virtual machines these days, it seems rather silly to have an installer absolutely rely on the existence of partitions before it'll let one do an upgrade or install. -- Mike Edwards | If this email address disappears, Unsolicited advertisments to | assume it was spammed to death.

Postfix dropping settings CentOS4.5
by Johnny Massengill 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

My company is using Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security Suite 7.0 for linux. This setup uses Postfix as a mail gateway for MS Exchange. The problem I'm having is ever so often Postfix 2.2.11 will lose the Transport mapping lookup tables setting. When this happens, mail into our domain will stop being relayed to our Exchange server. FYI: please remember, I'm ok with understanding how Linux works, but I'm a Postfix noob! Thanks in advance for the help -- Johnny Massengill

bind-9.3.3-9.0.1 RPM BUILD error
by Indunil Jayasooriya 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi, Centos 4.4 comes with bind 9.2.x. I want to upgrade it to bind bind-9.3.3-9.x as bind 9.2.x had a security hole. So I downloaded bind-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5.src.rpm from Centos5 repo and tried to built RPM out of it. But, I failed to do it. I got bellow errors. ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_send_va': ./dbus_service.c:296: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_message_iter_init_append' ./dbus_service.c:298: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_message_iter_append_basic' ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_message_iterator_new': ./dbus_service.c:497: warning: wrong type argument to increment ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_message_next_arg_type': ./dbus_service.c:513: warning: wrong type argument to increment ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_message_next_arg': ./dbus_service.c:521: warning: wrong type argument to increment ./dbus_service.c:522: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_message_iter_get_basic' ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_message_element_type': ./dbus_service.c:530: warning: wrong type argument to increment ./dbus_service.c:531: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_message_iter_get_element_type' ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_message_get_elements': ./dbus_service.c:538: warning: wrong type argument to increment ./dbus_service.c:539: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_message_iter_get_fixed_array' ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_message_iterator_free': ./dbus_service.c:545: warning: wrong type argument to increment ./dbus_service.c: In function `dbus_svc_init': ./dbus_service.c:1015: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_connection_open_private' ./dbus_service.c:1015: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast ./dbus_service.c:1024: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_connection_close' ./dbus_service.c:1039: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast ./dbus_service.c:1080: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_bus_get_unique_name' ./dbus_service.c:1080: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast ./dbus_service.c:1084: warning: implicit declaration of function `dbus_bus_request_name' ./dbus_service.c:1094: error: `DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_PRIMARY_OWNER' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dbus_service.c:1094: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ./dbus_service.c:1094: error: for each function it appears in.) ./dbus_service.c:1096: error: `DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_EXISTS' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dbus_service.c:1097: error: `DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_IN_QUEUE' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dbus_service.c:1098: error: `DBUS_REQUEST_NAME_REPLY_ALREADY_OWNER' undeclared (first use in this function) make[2]: *** [dbus_service.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bind-9.3.3rc2/bin/named' make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bind-9.3.3rc2/bin' make: *** [subdirs] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.78789 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.78789 (%build) ANY IDEAS?

arp corrupted
by Bobby 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi, I've been trying to get a couple of routers up after h/w failure. The border router is an OpenBSD firewall running NAT between the Internet and a DMZ like subnet, and in that a Linux antivirus server is running NAT to the LAN. When the client does a DNS query it reaches to the f/w where dns is running and is returned into the A/V server but never hits the 0.254 interface. (Shown by running tcpdump on each interface.) (Internet) | OpenBSD Firewall NAT 192.168.1.254 | 192.168.1.253 eth0 Anti-Virus in "DMZ" 192.168.0.254 eth1 | 192.168.0.11 Client on LAN The routing table on the A/V server is: 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Sitting on the A/V server one can reach the client without problem.

21 Oct '07

On 28 July, I changed from ProtectBase to Priorities. I kept unusually detailed notes that day. Yesterday, when I added the RPMForge respository, so I could install MPlayer, I found that the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file no longer exists. I'm not sure how that happened. Question: Is there a way to regenerate that file? TIA -- Lanny --------------------------------------------------------- Over 800 Magazine titles up to 80% off http://lowcostmagazines.com/

Using XEN VMs with non-US keyboards?
by Kai Schaetzl 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Is there a way to use Xen VMs with non-US keyboards at the console in a convenient way? I read somewhere in the documentation that only US-English keyboards are supported in the Xen console, but there's more to this. I would imagine that I then can type a character that is on a different key in the US-English layout from my German layout by using the key where it is on the US-English keyboard. For instance use y for z. That's how it would work on a normal console. But with the VM it's completely different and some characters cannot be typed *at all*. For instance, I cannot type the / or - characters (depending on what layout I choose: de (any) will prohibit me to type -, while us will prohibit me to type /. On the other hand when I type y I get a y. I assume the reason for this must be that the keyboard layout of the host machine is de as well. If I changed that to US-English I might be able to type and get what I expected. But I really don't want to change the main keyboard layout. Has anyone found a way to cope with this, so one could at least type all characters? The only way I can use Xen VMs at the moment seems to be to install them and then connect via ssh.

centos: infinite loop at boot using mptspi scsi device
by Jan Falkenhagen 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

hello, i am very new to centos and experienced some trouble yesterday when installing centos 5 onto our workgroup server. Our Server is equipped with an external RAID-array using an LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07) SCSI controller. Unfortunately the Server won't boot with the array connected, but gives the error message: target1:0:2: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back again and again. The now deleted SuSE 9.2 distribution (kernel 2.6.11), that we used for a long time was working just fine with the array. However Debian 4.0 which uses an 2.6.18 kernel just like CentOS 5 does not. We then tried to use the recent Fedora Core 6 kernel 2.6.22-xx which is working fine again, so this has to be a kernel issue. As i don't like the idea to have to use a Fedora kernel with CentOS, i am looking for a recent (unofficial) kernel that has been tested to work with CentOS. Is there any repository for that (maybe with some kind of security updates too)? -- best regards Jan Falkenhagen

Memory problems with CentOS box
by Miguel Medalha 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hello all I am running CentOS 5 on a small server and I am having very strange memory malfunctions. The computer runs perfectly with no problems whatsoever. From time to time, after a soft reboot, the computer emmits beeps corresponding to a memory fault. It never reboots again until I find and remove a now defective DIMM. That DIMM can never be used again because it is out of order. This just happened for the *fourth* time and is costing me a lot of hassle and perhaps expense if the manufacturer does not replace the DIMM freely. The memory is DDR400 ECC from Kingston and of the type recommended by the motherboard's manufacturer. The board is a Tyan Tomcat i875p (S5102). Would it be possible that the DIMMs are being destroyed by some software component from the OS, perhaps the I2C management? The DIMMs do have EPROMS... Are they being incorrectly accessed by some software component and their program modified? Could this be the board's fault? And how? I don't know what to think of this, I never saw anything like that in my already long experience with computers... I must say again that this memory error *never* happens while the computer is in service, it always happened upon a soft reboot. Any hints would be appreciated. Thank you

Display resolution problem on Centos 4.5
by fred smith 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

I've got a Centos 4.5 box at work (installed at 4.0 and kept up to date) that's having a really weird problem I haven't been able to figure out. It's been doing on for a loong time but today it just got my goat and I spent some bit of time fighting with it, unsuccessfully. /etc/X11/xorg.conf specifies that the display resolution should be 1280x1024. When root logs in it is. when a user named 'interface' logs in it is. When I log in with my normal login, 'fredex', it isn't. I get 1152x864. when I look at the "screen resolution" utility on the preferences menu it says 1280x1024. when I look at the "display" utility on the "system settings" menu it says 1280x1024. but using the monitor's OSD settings, the monitor says it's 1152x864. I CAN force it to 1280x1024 by using 'xrandr', and it then works fine at that resolution until I log in the next time. I'm left to conclude that at some point in the murky past that I must have done SOMETHING in Gnome that causes Gnome to somehow mess with the resolution when I login but not when other users do. But I've been reading the Centos forums, the Red Hat Knowledgebase, and the FAQs at gnome.org, and none of them has shed any light on this issue. Can any of you help please? Thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

DocX support in OpenOffice
by first last 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Has anyone got the docx plugin for OpenOffice 2 running in CentOS? I have tried using the OpenOffice.org rpms and the ones in CentOS, but the plugin does not seem to work. To get it working I extracted the rpm from Novell, then copied the files to the registry/ folders and the Odfconverter to the program/ folder, but I can't get any ooxml files open at all, it gives me an error about the file being invalid and having to recover, but all that the recovery gets is an empty file. I have tried with the official RPMs versions 2.0 and 2.2 and the CentOS RPMs for 2.0. I have also tried hardcoding the path to where the files are, instead of using a relative path, but to no avail. The same procedure works perfectly with Ubuntu 7.04. Any suggestions? (My apologies if the question has already been answered, I could not find it in my email using the search in Yahoo mail).

On CentOS 5, the current centosplus kernel doesn't want to play with the kmod-gfs package (because kmod-gfs wants the stock kernel): # yum install kmod-gfs gives me: Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5) is already installed Should it work, or is there a separate centosplus build that I've not found, or do I need to roll my own?

It is not only a problem for Linux users. Office 2003/XP/2000 etc can not read these files either. I know many Windows only shops who are pretty annoyed with the upgrade churn Microsoft force on them. ~~~~~~ I concur. This change is a problem for both camps; Open Source users and older MS Office users. Very annoying. ~James

extras and vlc

What are the chances that a package such as vlc from http://videolan.org/vlc would become included in extras? so a yum install vlc would work. Thanks, Jerry

mdadm exim mysql
by Johnn Tan 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is listed as being a requirement. johnn

disabling php-cli
by Mark Weaver 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi All, Don't know if this has been covered already, but I'd like to know if there's a way to disable one of the features in php; php-cli. I've done some googling and searching through the archives but haven't found anything. The php manpage doesn't mentioned anything, nor have I seen anything on the php site in regards to this. (hoping it's not something as simple as removing the php-cli rpm, although that just might break a dependency... So, if someone knows how to do this or knows of some information they could point me to I'd appreciate it. thanks, -- Mark "Drunkenness is not an excuse for stupidity.

You could use zcat. But if you really want to use less to *automatically* unzip a .gz file, then you can create a less preprocessor: Use vi to create /usr/local/bin/lesspipe.sh and type in the following text: #!/bin/bash case "$1" in *.Z) uncompress -c $1 2>/dev/null ;; *.gz) gunzip -c $1 2>/dev/null ;; esac Make the lesspipe.sh file executable ('chmod +x /usr/local/bin/lesspipe.sh') and then create a LESSOPEN environment variable to make less use it: export LESSOPEN="|/usr/local/bin/lesspipe.sh %s" Test that this works, by cd'ing to /usr/doc/HOWTO, and if all is OK, add the export line to /etc//bashrc so that it takes permanent effect. Obviously, the lesspipe.sh script can be extended to do other things. All this is basically in the less man page, of course.
