Wifi wpa_supplicant with atheros successes or failures?
by Max H. 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

I remember being a small part of and following this thread a few months ago. <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-May/065091.html> I've been attempting a go at getting wpa_supplicant running on CentOS 4.3 and haven't had much luck. I'm assuming my failure is my lack of knowledge on the subject, but anyways. First, my normal setup is as follows: IBM Thinkpad R40 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5211 802.11ab NIC (rev 01) Works great and has been working great for over a year now off the madwifi drivers at <http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/madwifi/>. I've done a bit of Googling the past few days as well. One link I follow it mentions about CentOS/RHEL not supporting wpa_supplicant in the current kernel, and that you'd have to recompile your kernel. Other threads I've read of successes, but usually not much detail is provided and it's done so through compiling the drivers and what not. My question is: Has anyone had success off the RPMs on atrpms? I've attempted a shot at it with these: <http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/wpa_supplicant/> and haven't had much luck. It installs after I get a few dependencies and I can configure the .conf file, but after that it just gets really upset about doing anything. Perhaps I can't get it working due to confusion of the packages that I need or don't need. Currently, I'm running the kernel module packages from the madwifi section at atrpms. Any thoughts, help, or comments from the peanut gallery are greatly appreciated. :) Thanks! Max

Least painful MySQL 4.1 -> 5 upgrade on CentOS 4.1
by Morten 09 Aug '06

Hi. I've happily been running MySQL 4.1 on my CentOS 4.1 x86_64 server. But I need to upgrade to MySQL 5. Any recommendations on how to accomplish this without too much pain? I guess I'll need to get RPMs from the MySQL website. Br, Morten

The darn trouble is trying to remember them all, including > those for different 'net sites; all have a different password. The solution to that is a secure password manager. http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ You just have to remember the one password and the program will track all of the rest for you. This way you can use gibberish passwords for important sites such as online banking and you don't have to remember them or write them down anywhere. The password database is encrypted using Twofish and SHA-256. The only real downside is that if you don't have access to the password manager, you don't have access to anything else either. Oh...and don't forget backup the password database! :) -- Bowie

Connecting to WiFi private networks
by Guillermo Garron 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi all, I am using NetworManager and NetworkManagerInfo in my Laptop, to connect to WiFi networks. It works great with open DHCP networks, but now i am in a Hotel wich gave me a login/password to connect to its network, and NetworkManagerInfo sees the WiFi network as private and opens a dialog windows but only asking a passphrase or HEX key, no login / password options. what can i do? maybe use anoter application rather than NetworkManager? XP works great in that Hotel. :( regards, Guillermo

Where's rpmbuild ???
by Nicholas Anderson 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi All, hi all, dont know if there's something wrong with my system or what, but i can't find "rpmbuild" command ... is it a package separated from rpm? I dont think so cause there's no rpmbuild package in yum .... neither in rpmforge repositories .... the strange thing is that my system has the manuals for it, but the it doesnt have the binary (command itself).... I was following instructions in a manual, and it asks me to do a "rpmbuild --rebuild package", but i dont know how to do it if a dont have rpmbuild ..... :-( -- Nicholas Anderson Administrador de Sistemas Unix LPIC-1 Certified Rede Fiocruz e-mail: nicholas(a)fiocruz.br

openldap 2.3.x?
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi, Just wondering, has anybody thought of making openldap 2.3.x part of centos plus? I had some problems with openldap 2.2.x, and all the answers I got about it were to upgrade to 2.3. It seems 2.2 is dead release nowdays, and openldap people do not recommend using it for production anymore. -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/

GSM back door to shell with Centos and Palm handhelds
by J.J. Garcia 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi folks, Don't know if it could be interesting or not, even useful, but past days i was spending my time trying to use an old gsm motorola v150 mobile phone to get access to my host from my palm device with pssh (http://www.sealiesoftware.com/pssh/) these are the steps i did to accomplish it, feel free to suggest or improve it, anyway i found it usefull. First, this motorolla has an usb interface to the host, it's quite simple to attach the phone to the host running CentOs, i dont like very much usb 'things' but things are like this... anyway, if you do so you'll notice in syslog: <...> Aug 8 20:54:13 spoolbox kernel: cdc_acm 1-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device <...> Don't know other mobile phones with an usb interface but it could be similar in others with an operational modem (i have to admit that im not an expert in GSM neither telephony...)

Up to here fine since the old motorola phone was able to perform calls, that's not the point unless you want a dial-out line (56k). What i needed was a dial-in facilities, go on with 'mgetty-sendfax': First change the /etc/inittab to start using the line: [root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/inittab <...> # Modem back line listen # Data only and two tones b4 connect T1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyACM0 -D /dev/ttyACM0 <...> To enable dial-in uncomment the corresponding line at '/etc/mgetty +sendfax/login.config' file with the previously created profile: [root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config <...> /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server <...> You can even trim more for incomming calls using the corresponding features at '/etc/mgetty+sendfax/dialin.config', in my case i left it untouched without restrictions. And config the line in '/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config': <...> # Motorola V150/Usb connected to ttyACM0/1: don't do fax, less logging # port ttyACM0 debug 9 data-only y speed 460800 <...> Up to here, you have the line preset correctly, now you have to use it to dial-in. Create a ppp profile file to use in dial-in whatever the line will be: [root@spoolbox crash]# cat /etc/ppp/options.server # Do not fork to become a background process -detach # To allow pppd to work over a rlogin/telnet connection asyncmap 0 # Use the modem control lines modem # Use hardware flow control crtscts # Specifies that pppd use the UUCP-style lock on the serial device lock # Adds an entry into the ARP table with the IP address of the client and the IP address of the NIC proxyarp # # Auth: # PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is one of the two protocols that PPP uses to authenticate # peers. # The other is CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). # CHAP is a more secure protocol, but is not as widely supported as PAP require-pap refuse-chap #require-chap #refuse-pap # if 'login' option (follows) is used, the file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets need not exist.

I followed your second suggestion and was able to have "yum install" see it after removing the old package. Why is the "rpm -e" required? It seems like I should be able to do "yum update" and specify the package version as long as it is newer than what is currently installed. -- Bowie

I can update everything else using yum and then install this one package manually and things should work fine. This still leaves me with a question, though.

I am trying to update my cluster servers to a newer kernel. As the csgfs stuff is not updated for 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL yet, I have to use 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL. If I specify to update the cluster packages, yum will automatically find the proper kernel package to meet the dependency. The problem is that I also need the kernel-smp-devel package installed so that I can build a new AoE driver. It doesn't get installed via dependencies and I can't figure out how to install it manually. Hints anyone? How can I install kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL via yum? Can I grab the rpm from somewhere and do a local install? Thanks, -- Bowie

We got rsync all started when we were using Gentoo, but have since moved to CentOS. Right now I have seperate scripts for hourly, daily and weekly. The hourly does all the heavy lifting, with daily and weekly being simple scripts that makes hardlinks from all the hourly snapshots. All in all, it's pretty cool. Never have to flip tapes everyday in the tape library, works on holidays without missing backups and restores happen at network speeds. If you've ever tried to pull 100GB off of AIT3 tapes, you know what I'm talking about. Mark

Poor man's method would be the rsnapshot tool in dag's repository. Relatively easy to do hourly snapshots with rsync from a single config file. alex

htaccess htpasswd and satellite connections
by John Hinton 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Yeah, maybe this is a bit on the edge.... I am discovering several issues with users on satellite internet connections not being able to authenticate via a htaccess/htpasswd system. Some users cannot connect at all, some can connect reliably.. and some are hit and miss.. works one day and not the next. Yet those same users can log in fine if they switch back to their dialup system. Has anybody else found this and is there a magic tweak somewhere to help this work? Thanks, John Hinton

i386 and x86_64 depsolver issue with Seamonkey
by Johnny Hughes 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to this problem, to upgrade from Mozilla to Seamonkey use this command from the command line instead of up2date: yum upgrade seamonkey ------------------ Yum is the official upgrade tool for CentOS. If you are currently using up2date, you should consider switching to yum as this is not the first issue that up2date has had when doing "obsoletes" type updates. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Yum w/o direct connect
by Ted Miller 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

I am hoping someone else is already doing what I need to do, and can give me some pointers. Situation: 1. I am running Centos 4.3 x86_64 on a machine at home, without broadband access. I have dialup access, but that doesn't work very well for something like "yum update", so I am still running 4.3 as issued on the CDs. 2. I have high speed access at work, and I have a USB drive to move files from work to home. Proposed solution (other than get broadband): A. Make a "pretend repo" on the hard drive of home machine by: 1. Install yum "index" file for each repo in directories at home. Use rsync via dialup to keep those repo "indexes" up to date (after initial install). [A sample rsync command line would be helpful.] 2. Persuade yum to give me a list of packages (that I need to download in order to execute a package install or update) and capture that list in a format that I can feed into rsync (at work). 3. Have a way to separate package list into three categories: a. Packages already in correct version my local repository. b. Packages needing an update in my local repo. c. Packages I need to download wholesale. 4. Have a way to copy packages needing updates to USB drive. 5. Take list of packages to work, and use rsync to transfer/update the packages onto the USB drive. 6. Bring USB drive home and dump contents into local repo. 7. Run yum to do the updates. I think this is how to do things in general terms, but I could use a good bit of help in coming up with some scripts to automate/semiautomate the process. I think #3 may be the hardest one to automate. Anyone doing this? Anyone good with rsync and yum, and care to give me a starting point, even if your try is untested? Console approach is fine (GUI OK too), but I am new to yum (moving from Mandriva), and have used rsync a few times successfully, but am no master at it. Also, I have 4 install disks. Which repos are on those disks, and which repos are on which ones? Do any of them include CentOS Plus? Ted Miller CentOS 4.3 x86_64

Lock ups: recent, anybody else?
by William L. Maltby 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Yesterday, did the following. Two lockups since then. Recent freetype had just cured some anomalies and now this. One lock while I slept, the other a few moments ago while active at the KB. Had Evolution, Firefox and T'bird open among two users on a single X console. No unusual stuff. Desktop install, fully up-to-date 4.3, i386 (Athalon). 1) see anything wrong below? 2) I'm seriously thinking of trying to back out Seamonkey and reinstalling mozilla (I've no idea what my chances are). Why? Because it was the single biggest change to the system and is therefore auto-suspect! TIA for any help/reply!

What's the difference between Linux-HA and the RedHat Cluster suite. Is the RH Suite just a packaged version of the freeware Linux-HA? -- Prasad Pillarisetti "If everything is coming your way, then you are in the wrong lane"

Subversion how-to section added to the wiki
by Max H. 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hey everyone, I added a very very simple how-to for getting Subversion running on CentOS (locally and across Apache)...basically aimed at a newbie that's never touched svn before. Let me know if anything is out of whack, needs changed, or if something isn't right. I did go through and actually follow it with an install, so it should be good. <http://wiki.centos.org/SubVersion> Max

Seamonkey
by Bart Schaefer 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

I saw the latest update announcements on the announce list, so I ran "yum check-update" and did not see seamonkey in the list. Which I guess makes sense, since it's a name change from mozilla. However, devhelp is in the list, and "yum update devhelp" pulls in seamonkey as a dependency. This seems like a sort of backdoor way to get seamonkey onto the system. Did these packages really come from the upstream this way? What if I had not had devhelp installed? Do I need to replace mozilla or not? Aside to Dag: The galeon package from rpmforge has an version dependency on the specific mozilla package that's being replaced by seamonkey (rather than a greater-or-equal dependency), so it's not presently possible to install both seamonkey and galeon with yum.

How to convert RHEL 4 system to CentOS

Hello Everyone, I have a RHEL4 system that I would prefer to leave on the current hardware and not have to rebuild if possible. Can some tell me if I can take my current distro of RHEL and move it to CentOS? What will I need to do, etc and how risky is it? Thanks, James Marcinek

Permissions
by Chris Peikert 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

I am trying to figure out how permissions work in Linux. In windows if I want someone to have access to something you put their name in a group then give that group access to that folder. However things can get difficult when you have an office with a folder structure like this: Taxoffice--->Names---> Private. Everyone in the group would need access to the Taxoffice folder and names folder but lets say only 4 people out of 12 need access to the private folder. 2 of those people need read only access and 2 full access. In windows this is easy because you can apply multiple groups and peoples permissions to a folder and file. How is this done in Linux when all I see is Owner and 1 Group permission?

Samba & NFS and file name charsets
by Christian Wahlgren 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

Hi, I have a problem copying files from a Suse 9.3 box to a CentOS 4.3 box with maintained characters in the file names. They usually have a lot of "åäö" (Swedish) in them and they are replaced by spaces when I copy to the CentOS 4.3 box. I have tried with nfs and then with Samba and get the same result. I have searched the net and found some suggestions about smbmount options "iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode" but it didn't help. What I've found out is that I can create file names with åäö from a WindowsXP box through a samba share in the CentOS box, and it also looks correct when I do a 'ls'. The same condition is also true with the Suse box. So, I can from a WindowsXP box copy from the Suse box and then save it on the CentOS box and get correct file names. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? None of the smb.conf on the boxes have any special settings about charsets. The Suse box uses ReiserFS and the CentOS uses ext3. Thanks, Christian

rpm error
by Kevin K 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

After noticing unfixable EXT3 corruption yesterday on my Centos4 system, (kernel panics), which I eventually traced down to bad memory, I decided to restore my system partition from a backup back in May. (luckily, my user data doesn't seem to be affected, and was on a different partition). Obviously, there were a lot of updates that needed to be made. I started yum off before bed, there being 377 meg worth of downloads. This morning, after the reboot, I realized it was still using the old kernel from May. Ran yum again for the remaining 31 meg of downloads. Didn't work. rpm doesn't seem to work properly anymore, can't install any of these remaining updates, and can't even remove some of the older, unneeded, kernels anymore. The error output of my yum and the standalone rpm error output is attached. I've already tried a rebuilddb command on the rpm database without any noticable benefit. Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to avoid doing a fresh install. Thanks.

How do I revert back to a non-CentOSPlus install?
by Jens Jensen 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

I installed PHP 5.0.4 from the CentOSPlus repo a week ago, but now the yum cronjob seems to have upgraded to a new kernel, a new MySQL and god knows what else. Big mistake. How do I (safely) revert back to the stock CentOS 4.3 rpms? I want to keep PHP 5.0.4, but that's it. Is there a cleaner way than uninstalling the rpms, editing the repo file and the (re)installing from base? I just recently learned about the protectbase plugin, which I intend to use from here on out. The damage is done though. This question is a repost from the forums. They sadly don't seem to recieve much traffic. Best regards, Jens

Strange problem with web-based apps
by Thomas E Dukes 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a DNS problem as it has just recently started happening or at least I just recently noticed it was happening. This only happens outside my local network. I can only describe the problem. I use OpenWebmail for webmail. I can read mail, delete mail but cannont send mail. I uses webmin, most this I can admin remotely from this, some I cannot such as the File Manager. I use OSCommerce. Some things I can do from the admin panel, some things I cannot such as update inventory. When the problem occurs, I get the error in the browser "Cannot Find Server". Again, this only happens from outside my local network and it only affects some actions. Any ideas? TIA Eddie
