Upgrading samba past the regular packages
by Matt Morgan 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Despite Craig's excellent help with my Excel/Samba, I continue to have trouble with Samba 3.0.10 under CentOS 4.2. Quickbooks, now, too, is just acting really weird. I'm tempted to upgrade beyond the regular packages, although I really don't like to do that, because the samba list and a lot of info online lead me to believe that 3.0.11+ fixes these issues. What's the best way to use something newer than the regualr packages? Does someone out there have a CentOS repo with a newer samba? Should I just use the Fedora packages? Thanks, Matt

vsftp vs shell logins
by techlist 30 Jan '06

I need to be able to allow specific system accounts to ftp to a box. As far as I can tell I have to give them a shell in /etc/passwd (i.e. /bin/bash) in order for their ftp login to work. I do *not* however want them to be able to log into a shell or ssh session. I cannot restrict by IP. What's the best way to accomplish this? Thanks, Scott

install won't boot
by Jeff Lasman 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Circumstances: The system is a hardware duplicate of a system that installed and works for many months. Running CentOS 4.x. The system was previously in service with CentOS 3.x and I'm trying to install CentOS 4.1 on it from downloaded CDs which have worked previously (these are the same CDs used to install the system that's working). Software RAID. Minimal packages System appears to install properly, then on first reboot halts with error: (note that this is hand copied, not cut-and-pasted, so there may be errors in spelling <frown): ... Creating block devices Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Freeing unused kernel memory: 228k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. and system halts with nothing else on screen. I even tried downloading the entire /boot partition contents from the working machine and installing the contents on the /boot partition on the local machine. Same problem. I was supposed to get this server into the data center; it's now 02:19. I'm going home to get a few hours sleep. Any suggestions? Help appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone been able to get pgadmin3 installed on CentOS-4 ? The WxGTK2 stuff makes it impossible for me to get installed from RPM/SRPM from their site and likewise, couldn't rebuild from Fedora SRPMS either. I figure between Jim and Owen and ???, somebody might have succeeded where I would be doomed. I can get around with phppgadmin but pgadmin3 is pretty cool. Thanks Craig

Players (O.T.)
by Sam Drinkard 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Sorry for the off topic posting, but I'm not a real music person and know little about what software will do what. Without turning this into a big discussion for pro or con, could someone drop a line or 3 just stating the name(s) of some type music players? I'd probably want something that would play CD's and perhaps mp3's. I don't guess there is a "catch-all" like the windows media player that does it all is there? Thanks.. Snowman

Hi All, as a CCNA student and wishing to eventualy do CCSP, I wanted to learn all about what hackers use/do to infiltrate networks, and was introduced to dsniff at a Linux meeting, TLUG, in Tokyo, but, am having problems installing it. Please see below. checking for Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility... /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4 configure: error: db_185.h or libdb.a not found in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4 or not configured with --enable-compat185 [root@localhost <mailto:root@localhost> dsniff-2.3]# ./configure --enable-compat185 --with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4 I have installed the latest BDB, and have, as you can see, added the correct arguments for ./configure.

Network Card Priority
by James Gagnon 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi, Is it common for CentOS to give priority to one particular network card over a second card when activating on boot up? I have two NIC's in my machine... one is tied into my windows box with an internal IP using xover cable. The other is tied into my hub, which then leads out to the internet with a WAN IP. When I run a constant ping on both IP's from my windows box and watch the boot up phase of CentOS it gets to activating eth0 and I start getting a couple ping replies from the WAN IP as it completes activating. Then it activates eth1 the NIC I have my internal IP on and the ping replies for the WAN IP stop and I then start getting ping replies from the internal IP. Should that be happening by default? If so, is there a way to make it so that both NIC's respond to pings off bootup and are active? In network settings both are marked active and both are marked to activate on bootup... just seems one is forcing the other offline and im not sure if that can be corrected... Any info would be great... Thanks =) James G.

tinydns -some help needed
by Kai Sandsengen 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

Is there a tinydns or dns wizard that could give me some hints, please? I am setting up and testing tinydns, but have some problems figuring out how to route. I do get dnscache to listen on tinydns. Also I do not understand why it will not answer the given ip (127.0.0.1) to the name server. 1. Both services are up running and seems to be working fine, so why no reply, (on the first query/reply below)? 2. I am behind a firewall/router and have dynamic ip address from my isp. Can I set up the name server to be dynamic or how can I solve this by routing? --config info Dnscache is listening to the local nic 192.168.1.102 tinydns is listening to the local nic 192.168.1.100 Here's the query to dnscache where no ip given back: # dnsqr a test.example.net 1 test.example.net: 34 bytes, 1+0+0+0 records, response, noerror query: 1 test.example.net # dnsqr a server1.test.example.net 1 server1.test.example.net: 58 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror query: 1 server1.test.example.net answer: server1.test.example.net 86400 A 192.168.1.102 # cat /etc/dnscache/log/main/current | grep tx @4000000043d9f8b118a12724 tx 0 1 test.example.net. test.example.net. 7f000001 c0a80164 @4000000043d9f8b5212dcc1c tx 0 1 server1.test.example.net. test.example.net. c0a80164 7f000001 # cat /etc/tinydns/root/data .test.example.net:127.0.0.1:a:259200 .1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a:259200 =server1.test.example.net:192.168.1.102:86400

Centos now has its own Folding@Home team! If you would like to learn more about what we do, please follow this <a href="http://folding.stanford.edu/">link</a> to the Folding@Home homepage. New to distributed computing?, its not a problem. Here is the simplest description: Many computers working on separate pieces of the same puzzle are faster than a few computers working on many pieces of the puzzle. By "distributing" the work load to as many computers as possible, results are faster and accumulate faster. This provides more information to the people who can use it, thus letting them actually work with the results instead of working to get results. Hopefully the above summary doesn't leave you lost and confused. If you are still with us then great, but if you're feeling lost? You can search <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=distributed+computing&btnG=Go…">google</a> for distributed computing for more in depth information. Now on to Centos folders and Folding@Home. We are a team of members with various computer setups and knowledge. Our primary operating system of choice is Centos and our favourite distributed computing program is Folding@Home. You can see our team stats by clicking <a href="http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48721">here</a>, this should be updated regularly. Would you like to join the team? Well, if so it is as simple as visiting the <a href="http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html"Folding@Home</a> website and downloading the version you prefer. Once you've got it please read this <a href="http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18393&page=1&pp=15">FAQ</a> written by Jtang613. Please note, our team number is 48721. There now, its just as easy as that and now you are a part of the team. Welcome to the Fold! :) Further information about various installers and monitors can be found <a href="http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=11700">here</a>. My personal preference is to use <a href="http://www.vendomar.ee/~ivo/">finstall</a> to install and a superkaramba theme to help monitor the work unit.

Has anyone had success getting on-board sound to work on a Tyan S2895?
by David J. Mellor 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

My setup is as follows: Motherboard: Tyan S2895 CPU: Two Opteron 275s Memory: 4 GB Disk: Three 250 GB SATA drives attached to a 3Ware 9500S-4LP RAID card Video: Nvidia GeForce 7800 The only hardware that I have added to the motherboard is the 3Ware card and the Nvidia card. The disks are configured as a RAID 5 array, and the machine boots from this array. I installed CentOS 4.2 x86 on this system without any problems during the installation. The on-board sound card was recognised and the correct driver (snd_intel8x0) installed to handle it. However, on rebooting into the SMP kernel after the install, the installation proved to be completely unstable. The kernel would panic sometimes during startup and sometimes during shutdown. The uniprocessor kernel seemed to be stable, but I noticed the following error messages appearing on the console during startup (the same error messages also appeared when booting into the SMP kernel): 3w-9xxx: scsi0: ERROR: (0x03:0x0104): SGL entry has illegal length:address=0x37077000, length=0xFF, cmd=X. Suspecting that there might be a driver incompatibility with my particular hardware configuration, I downloaded one of the Fedora 4 kernel sources from the 2.6.12 series, and compiled my own SMP kernel. This solved the stability issue, and I have been using this intensively for four months without experiencing any system crashes. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get the on-board sound to work. If I use XMMS to play an MP3 file (I have the XMMS MP3 plugin from the Dag Wieers repository installed), then on hitting the play button nothing happens. It is not that XMMS thinks that it is processing the file but no sound is being produced, rather the playback counter stays at "00:00". If I visit a web page containing a Flash animation with sound, Firefox locks up and has to be killed. I have compiled other Fedora kernels from source (2.6.14) and the same behaviour is observed. I also cannot get sound to work with the 2.6.9 uniprocessor kernel supplied with CentOS 4.2. I know that the hardware on the motherboard is not faulty, because the machine is set up to dual-boot into CentOS or Windows XP. On Windows, there is no problem with the sound, and interestingly once I have booted into Windows if I then reboot into Linux then the sound will work under Linux (although sound mixing is still a problem - one application outputting sound will cause a second application trying to output sound to stall until the first is finished). Has anyone on this list experienced the same problems, and if so found a way to overcome them? Failing that, does anyone have any suggestions for any tweaks I can make to my system to make the sound work without having to boot into Windows first? Thanks, David Mellor.

gfs performance
by Jure Pečar 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

Hi all, Since I've got no reply on redhat cluster list, I'm trying here ... I'm testing a rhcs4 cluster with gfs. I noticed some poor performance while tarring data from a gfs volume to a local disk from both nodes at the same time, so I deceided to have a closer look. Here are the bonnie++ results: http://jure.pecar.org/gfs/ I don't know what to think of these ... but I doubt it's normal for performance to go down by an order of magnitude when both nodes are doing some i/o to the shared file system ... I'd like to see some numbers from other gfs systems to see if this is normal and if it is not, how to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. Thanks, -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org/

It has been some posting about this issue, but I cant find a solution I can't log on to my ldap server port 389 with my browser. service seems to be running. I am not running selinux, port 389 are open on both client and server. Message from browser: Access to this port is disabled for security reasons. Added command (hint from earlier posting) and got this list # netstat -aptn | grep :389 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:33057 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:32833 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:33058 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33053 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2576/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33055 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2574/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33054 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2575/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33057 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2572/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33058 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2569/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33069 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2573/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33068 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2570/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33067 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2571/httpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33084 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 3235/-bash tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:33093 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:33093 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 3269/-bash tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:32837 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32815 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2443/cupsd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32837 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2494/xinetd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32833 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2479/sshd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32851 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2563/xfs tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32861 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2625/dbus-daemon-1 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32856 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2615/atd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32905 127.0.0.1:389 ESTABLISHED 2664/sh tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:32905 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:389 127.0.0.1:33067 ESTABLISHED 2407/slapd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:43309 127.0.0.1:389 TIME_WAIT -

Good day. Thanks in advance for any help. I have a Tyan S2895 (Thunder K8WE) with 2 275 Opterons and the latest (1.02) bios. It appears to have an nVidia nForce SATA chipset which connects to a 250gb WD Caviar SATA drive. Using the CentOS 4 update 2 x86_64 DVD, the install is peachy until half-way through the "performing post install configuration" bit. Then it hangs forever. I have tried: disabling RAID in the bios mem=256M on the command line a text install -- the hang was at the 50% marker a memory check -- all clean according to memtest86+ 1.65 CentOS 4 update 1 on cd smaller root partition without any change in behavior. I then installed an old Adaptec 29160N and an old SCSI disk and turned off the SATA bits in the BIOS. CentOS installs just fine. Has anyone else seen this issue? If it's a problem only with the nVidia SATA drivers, anyone have a recommendation for a SATA card that could be used instead of the onboard stuff? RAID is not necessary. Thanks again. Cheers, Zube

Volume of patches for CentOS vs Fedora
by Steve Bergman 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I'm trying to come to a decision between CentOS 4.2 and Fedora Core 4 for use on a server. One of the things the server will be serving is X desktops so there are some advantages to Fedora. However, one thing I can't help but notice is that the patch volume for FC4 from Oct 11 2005 thru the present compared to CentOS 4.2 for the same period is about 5 times greater. In fact, since June, there are 899 RPMs in the FC4 updates directory for FC4 which seems absolutely insane. CentOS is a smaller distro, but not that much smaller. Also, I understand that CentOS's parent distro (from a prominent North American Linux Distributor) is supposed to be better tested before release than Fedora. But still, there must be some other factor to explain the disparity. Like CentOS only releasing a patch for security problems and not bug fixes or something like that. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks, Steve Bergman

Using Centos
by Alex Chen 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

We need to resell systems that run commercial software on Linux. We were using Red Hat ES 3 originally. But we later realize that we cannot redistribute RHES without paying them huge subscription fee because of the trademark. I came across CentOS from WBEL mailing list. This looks like a godsend to me. I have some questions regarding CentOS. I would appreciate it if someone can provide me the answers: 1. Can I use your package to install a machine for resell? Is there fee involved? Do you have any EULA that I can get? 2. I believe it is RHES based, what is the version matrix corresponding to Red Hat ES? 3. Does it have extra stuff other than vanilla RHES added? 4. If I decide to do the rebuild myself to remove the RH trademark stuff, what packages should I modify? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Alex

CentOS 4.2 Install - Can't Surf Web

I just installed CentOS 4.2 on a system that was running RedHat 9. Now the browser (Mozilla Firefox) can't connect to web sites via their name (www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> ). It can however connect if the IP address is used (66.102.7.147). Also the 'dig' command times out with either the name or the IP address. Has anyone else seen this?

Interesting. I'm not too familiar with iptables, but based on that tip and what I've read from the man page, I should be able to do this for a webserver: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.1.20 \ --dport 80 -j REDIRECT This should allow my machine to accept packets destined for the virtual IP (on port 80) and redirect them to localhost. Did I mess anything up there? Just a couple of questions come up here: 1) Do I still need to enable ip_forward? 2) When the server replies to the client, will the reply be sent from the proper virtual IP address? -- Bowie

I saw a reference to a kernel patch, but I thought the patch was for the server. I am actually not using a Linux LVS server, I am using a Foundry ServerIron to do the load balancing. It works great for standard balancing, but now I need to do direct routing to balance two CentOS4 servers. The instructions that came with the ServerIron just gave a single ifconfig command to set it up (which royally screwed up the networking). Do I need to install the kernel patch on these machines? And why would that affect the permissions problem I was seeing? As root, I should be able to create a file in any directory. It may not do what I expect if the functionality is not in the kernel, but I should be able to create the file. -- Bowie

firewall and opening ports
by jim＠datamantic.com 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi list. This is my first post here. Super newbie. I will try not to ask too many questions, but searching is hard when you don't even know where to begin. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I have just installed CentOS 4.2. I selected to have a firewall in the graphic installer, and I opened ports 22 and 80. Fine so far. SSH and HTTP both work. But now that everything is set up I have discovered I need to open port 53 in order to install djbdns. My main question is: what did I install by choosing to have a firewall in the CentOS installer? Is this iptables? Or is it something else? And then if anyone just wants to give me the complete answer: how do I open port 53? Thanks!

hosts fail to negotiate 1000Mbps speed
by Akop Pogosian 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I am trying to connect two workstations (CentOS 3&4) directly using a straight through cat 5e cable with a crossover adapter on one of the ends. Both hosts have gigabit-capable ethernet card. According to lspci host 1 has: 03:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) and host 2 has: 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 17) In order to get this controller work on host 2, I had to download and install a more recent version of the sk98lin driver. Host 2 runs CentOS 4. Host 1 runs CentOS 3 (with a stock e1000 driver). After I setup networking, ethtool reported for both hosts that the link runs at 100Mbps even though it says in both cases that the capability for 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full modes and exists and is being advertised. If I force 1000Mbps speed with "ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000", I get: # ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: Unknown! (65535) Duplex: Unknown! (255) Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g and the eth1 link stops working. What could be a problem here? I tried loading both drivers with the parameter for 1000Mbps speed parameters but that didn't help. ( I used on host 1, alias eth1 e1000 Speed=1000 host 2, alias eth1 sk98lin Speed_A=1000 Speed_B=1000) -akop

Hidden networking device configuration
by Bowie Bailey 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I am trying to configure load balancing for a couple of CentOS4 servers. In order to make it work, I need to add a hidden networking device on each server with the virtual IP. I found the following instructions on linuxvirtualserver.org for doing this, but they don't work. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ifconfig dummy0 0.0.0.0 up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/hidden echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/dummy0/hidden ifconfig dummy0:0 172.26.20.110 up When I try to write to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/hidden, the system refuses to let me create the file. I'm logged in as root, so why am I having permission problems? Also, I believe these instructions are for 2.2 or 2.4 kernels. Have things changed with 2.6? -- Bowie

SubVersion on CentOS 4.2
by James B. Byrne 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I am new to linux based version control systems and am setting up a new project in Rails which will use SubVersion. I set up a repository for this project in a directory called /var/spool/svn and ran svnadmin create etc. I did all this while su'ed to root, however all programming will be done by non-privileged users. To provide for this I created a group called "svn", added the np userids to that secondary group and chgrp'ed the svn repository to have the guid set to "svn". However, attempts to use svn by np userids failed with references to ra_local and BDB access violations. What I discovered is that the default file modes established by svnadmin create do not give w access to the guid, only to the uuid. I therefore issued a chmod -R g+w * in the /var/spool/svn directory and svn thereafter worked as desired for privileged and non-privileged userids alike. My questions are three (four): 1. Is this behaviour (limiting access to a central svn depository to a single userid) intentional? (If so then why?) 2. Have I created future problems by loosening svn access to such an extent? 3. Is there a better way to accomplish this? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is not a secure channel *** mailto:byrnejb.<token>@harte-lyne.ca James B.

Hi, The latest fedora kernel already has the CONNMARK support. I'd like to use it in my centos 4.2 server. I know it is not as stable as the 2.6.9.x the comes with centos but it is an alternative to using the vanilla kernel. I've managed to rebuild the rpm of the FC4 kernel in my Centos server but when trying to install I get Failed dependencies: mkinitrd >= 4.2.15-1 is needed by kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.root.i686 selinux-policy-targeted < 1.23.16-1 conflicts with kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.root.i686 Any suggestions?

Two ethernet adapters and more
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I am running Asterisk@home on one of my systems here. It uses Centos 4.2. It does NOT have a GUI interface. Command line only at console or via SSH (yeah, I know that I was working on another server to get GUI tools working through SSH, but I am NOT going to muck with AAH build). yum update is potentially dangerous, when it replaces the kernel. You can loose all of your Zaptel driver setups and have to rebuild them. This is a given, the first time you install AAH and run yum update.... Now at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk%40Home+Handbook+Wiki+Chapter+3 I was instructed to use NETCONFIG to setup up my network information. Well it did for eth0, but not for eth1. So question #1 is how to use netconfig to setup eth1 without messing with eth0. #2) NETCONFIG did not setup my hostname and domain. I had to go in with VI to resolv.conf and sysconfig/network. Is there a tool for this? #3) How do I figure out which board is which. Other than looking at the MAC address and using PCISNIFFER to then relate that to one of the boards (well, one 'builtin'). Also how do I determine which board is using which IRQ. #4) Finally how can I change which IRQ a board is using. As one of the boards is using the same IRQ as one of my Zaptel clone cards (Tigerjet chips according to PCISNIFFER). #4 leads into the 'more'. This system has TWO FXO clone cards. One is working in AAH, the other AMP does not see. Asterisk CLI flags one as "alarm" RED. and does not report the IRQ of either board. #5) How do I figure Centos has configured these two cards, and what IRQs are used and maybe how to change the IRQs. #6) Then how to get genzaptelconf to properly configure this card. Barrs Law of Recursive futility If you're smart enough to use one of these.... .....you can probably manage without one!

freenx in rootless mode and session resume anyone?
by Sophana Kok 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi I suceeded to run freenx on centos3 with the nomachine client, but I still have some issues. First I can only get a new whole desktop (kde) session. I cannot resume it, and it always leave tons of process that I have to kill from root. I don't need the whole kde desktop, and only want to have single windows. This is called the rootless mode I think and cannot make it work, it simply hangs. Finally I succeded in running the nxagent and nxproxy manually in rootless mode, but the problem is that I have to do this on my linux router (I use x.org from cygwin). but there is no nxproxy on windows or cygwin I think. Is there a way to run single windows with the freenx client and resume sessions? Thanks.

Virtualization
by Bards1888 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hello all, I looking at setting up some virtual servers on my centos 4.2 x86_64, mainly just to play with the technology. I tried the latest openvz kernel (kernel-022stab061.1-released) on my centos 4.2 x86_64. It booted no problems and in the main did not seem to slow the machine down (which is nice), all my drivers worked, Raid1 is built into the kernel as opposed to a module for example. There were a few issues namely 1) that kernel does not seem to have nfs support compiled in 2) it cannot loopback mount ISO's and 3) there are no vzyum rpms for x86_64 which basically means you cant build your own templates, if I read it correctly. Anyways, I'll get to the point now... does anyone have openvz 64 bit or 32 bit running on centos, or does anyone have xen 3.0 running on centos ? I'm keen to hear peoples experiences and tips if they have any. Cheers. Bards.

I have a couple users, in a new install of a samba file server on CentOS 4.2, who are being prompted to overwrite the existing file when in MS-Excel and simply saving the active spreadsheet. Normally, File--Save (or just clicking on the disk icon) for an already saved file will re-save the file without prompting to overwrite. I have my doubts about whether this could be a server-side issue, and suspect it's probably Excel, except 1) it started when I switched them from a Windows file server to the Samba server; 2) it happened to both of them at the same time; 3) I've been working with Excel for a long time and never seen a setting for this. Anybody have any idea what this could be, or how to diagnose it? Googling gets me a few VBScript questions, nothing useful. FYI, the samba share is pretty basic, but I did increase the create mask and directory mask settings, since these files are shared between several users and they need to write each other's files. Apart from that, no deviations from the norm. Thanks, Matt
