CUPS and Okidata ML 395
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi All, Has anyone currently, or in the past, setup an Okidata ML 395 (or any of Okidata's impact printers, for that matter) on a CentOS box? I'm having a miserable time with the ML 395: I'm looking for some tips. I have an AMD Opteron server running CentOS 4 (x86_64). CUPS is running happily for two Canon imageRunner's (via BrightQ Pro from Codehost). The Okidata ML 395 is attached to the server with a parallel cable. When I configure the Okidata printer with system-config-printer, I choose the ML 395B driver, and leave all other driver settings at defaults. Things look good at this point. However, when a print job is submitted, all I get is a few letters on separate lines. I've tried other drivers: - Epson 24 pin series - Epson LQ 870 - Okidata 24 pin series None have worked. There is either no output at all, or it's messed up. As a temporary fix, I finally resorted to connecting the printer to a Windows box, sharing it, and printing to it from the CentOS server via the Samba backend in CUPS. This isn't ideal because I want everything on the CentOS server. I've tried everything I can think of, and I believe I've exhausted the little info available on the web. I've also asked Okidata for support, but I haven't received any replies to my support requests. If anyone could help to shed some light on this, I would be grateful.

Multi-button mice and Linux?
by Preston Crawford 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Does anyone here use a multi-button (as in more than 2) mouse with Linux? 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? Preston

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.

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?

Re: [CentOS] ATA-over-Ethernet v's iSCSI
by Dave Hornford 09 Nov '05

Nick, What are you planning on running over the shared connection? Database, eMail, File Shares? How many users? How much data? What is your I/O profile? I've worked with 'enterprise' storage most of my career either as a consumer, adviser or provider - can't comment on AoE other than to suggest you look at what are the business & technical goals, how they solve it and what is your risk profile against the business need of the system. (I'm currently working as an adviser) When you have an opportunity to chase into "enterprise support" of new disk is usually comes down to insufficient time for testing, or known problems (heat, torque, variability in sample, failure rate & edge-case incompatibility with previously certified products are normal) You have hinted with the concern over TCP offload that you may have higher-end performance needs and that this system carries a high business value and needs a lower risk solution. Remember risk is a cost. regards Dave www.hornfordassociates.com >Nick Bryant >Subject: [CentOS] ATA-over-Ethernet v's iSCSI > >Just wondering if anyone out there has any opinions or better still >experience with Coraid's AoE products in a centos environment? > >We're looking at developing a very basic active/standby 2 node cluster >which will need a shared storage component.

sendmail & mail() in php

Hello everyone, I tried to configure sendmail so that I can use mail() in php. I don't host my email server, my ISP does. I just want to configure sendmail so that it uses external email server (my ISP) to send mail. When I executed mail(), i got no error report from php. I checked /var/log/maillog and it indicated that the message was accepted for delivery. However, it didn't delivery and indicated DSN: Service unavailable. Can someone help or suggest any other way to get this thing works? I'm not in the position to setup and a fully function email server for this at this time.

USB Stick Install
by Bards1888 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hello all, I'm looking at setting up a sort of 'appliance' server and as such its really not going to have a lot packages etc. I thought of installing 4.2 on a 1gb USB stick, however, the stick is not even recongnized by anaconda. It did appear when I did 'modprobe usb-storage.ko' as /dev/sdc (i have already have 2 SATA disks which are sda, sdb). Then the disk partitioner does not allow me to install on the USB stick, its not even listed as an available drive. Does anyone have any redhat/centos experience with this ? I've successfully managed to get OpenBSD and Ubuntu to install and boot on exactly the same kit so there is nothing wrong hardware wise. I might try and disconnect the SATA drives before attempting the install to see if that make any difference. Thanks. Bards.

Packages

I am in need of the udunits and udunits-devel packages. I know I remember seeing the udunits package on the CD's but don't recall seeing the udunits-devel. Looking at the rpm-pbone.net, I only found versions avilable for FC. Would it break a bunch of stuff to install both packages on a 4.1-i386 system ? Also looked via yum, at Dag's repository, and mirrors, but nothing shows up for it. I'm still new enough to CentOS to not know where and what I can install from other versions without breaking things... Sam -- Snowman

CentOS 4.2 with LSI MRSATA300-8X?
by HaraldFinnås 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Just wondering if anyone is using CentOS 4.2 with a LSI MRSATA300-8X controller? I just got a new SuperMicro server with this controller, and the install works just fine, but it panics when booting after install. For all I know (yet), it might be a problem with the server itself, but I suspect it's the LSI controller that's the problem. I've just started looking into it, so I haven't copied the panic log yet. I'm currently trying to install 4.1 hoping that'll work... Regards, Harald

VPN via PPTP and MPPE
by James B. Byrne 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

I have set up a VPN over PPTP on a CentOS server using the DKMS module rpm dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4 from http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/repovie w/dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4.kb.html and kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora- core-3.phtml. I have configured the pptpd server on Centos4 to use MS_CHAPv2, 128bit encryption and to assign server side and client IP addresses in the range a.b.c.42-48 and a.b.c.52-58 respectively. I have also opened the firewall for tcp port 1723 and the GRE protocol (47). I have configured a Microsoft Win2Kpro client and I can connect and establish a VPN. However I am missing something because: 1. If I try and connect to a machine on the local network segment then the VPN channel is not used (this is probably the correct behaviour but it is not what I want and I need to know how to force local network paths over an encrypted connection). 2. If I try and connect to a host outside our local network then the traffic is not routed out through the gateway but it does travel over the vpn to the local pptdp server. So, what am I missing in all of this? Are there options for the pptpd that I need to set for this to work? I have a similar problem when I connect from outside the local network segment. The the vpn connects but then I cannot reach any other host. Any suggestions are welcome. I am a digest subscriber so if you could copy my email address on your reply then I would be appreciative.

New Standard/Daylight time-change dates in rhel4u2 but not centos4.2?
by s.davison＠computer.org 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

>From a login on a machine with rhel4u2 I can execute the following commands and get the indicated output: date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2006" Sat Mar 25 10:00:00 EST 2006 date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2007" Sun Mar 25 11:00:00 EDT 2007 As you can see, the output differs for 2006 and 2007. That indicates that rhel4u2 includes changes required by the "Energy Policy Act of 2005," which mandates new dates for transition between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time starting in 2007. If I do the same thing on a machine with "CentOS release 4.2 (Final)", I get the following output: date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2006" Sat Mar 25 10:00:00 EST 2006 date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2007" Sun Mar 25 10:00:00 EST 2007 So it looks as if CentOS4.2 does not yet have that change. Is that correct? Or is there perhaps some installation parameter that I have missed in installing CentOS4.2? Thanks for any info. Stowe Davison

mondo Centos4
by Dave 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I had asked a few months ago if anyone knew if mondo is compatible with CentOS4. One person said it was still working, but never mentioed if he had done a restore. I had the stable version installed and whenever I ran it there were a few messages about command not found. Well, I had a HD go out and tried booting from the CD and it failed. It was just my desktop PC and my home dir was backed up a few days earlier so no biggie. So anyone have Mondo installed and has done a recovery? If so what version? If not, anyone now of a full metal backup restore similar to mondo?

Thank you for the assistance. I have reached the point where I seem to have resolved all the firewall issues that were contributing to my problems and I can now reliably connect a vpn between my MS-W2K box on one C class to a CentOS4.2 box running PopTop pptpd with 128 bit MPPE. As you anticipated, now I am down to routing problems. I have set up the pptpd server to supply a non-routable address in the range 192.168.209.194-254 as the client side IP and a routable address from the remote C block as the server side. I have very little knowledge and even less experience with this so please bear with me. Here is what I want to do: Case 1. Typical: >From any arbitrary external IP address, establish a VPN to a pptpd server inside our firewall that will route all traffic consigned to our internal network over that VPN while all other traffic goes over the gateway established before the VPN is set up. I cannot seem to get this to work with the MS network connection client. I have turned off the "use default gateway on remote network" option in the tcp/ip advanced networking options in the MS client, but the only effect that seems to have is that no traffic goes over the VPN at all. I have confirmed via tracert that the destination IP of the VPN tunnel is recognized on the eth0 interface and responds to ping and traceroute, but the routing from my test workstation is invariantly over the public gateway and not via the vpn. Case 2. All traffic is routed over the VPN and then, if necessary, out onto the Internet via our own gateway. I need to get case 1. working before I do this, but this will be a another requirement that will have to be available in addition to case 1. for some users. What I need is a way of configuring vpn clients on Windows 2K and XPpro so that these two cases work automatically from some sort of simple to deploy client install script. I am open to using alternative vpn client software if that is required. As this is evidently a client side problem I understand that it is not strictly CentOS related. However, this issue naturally falls on the server end to provide an answer and I hope that someone here has gone through this already and can provide me with some advice or referrals to other venues for help.

CentOS4.2 and wifi

Dear all Can anyone tell me, does CentOS4.2 include a wifi manager that will handle 128 bit WEP out of the box, so to speak? The version of kwifimanager with 4.1 would only do 64 bit due to an oversight at KDE Towers...

I am trying without success to configure X on a Siemens Laptop Lifebook E8020D. Does anyone have a working XF86Config file that I can try as all I see when starting X is a black screen. I think the problem is down to the monitor not being detected correctly but am unsure how to fix. Thanks Dean

SCSI-2, iSCSI and > FC/FC-AL are. AoE is not. As I understand it, Coraid will allow multiple machines to mount a volume, it just doesn't handle the synchronization. So you can have more than one machine use it, you just need GFS to keep it synchronized. I am in the process of building a system like this. I don't have both hosts accessing the storage yet, but Coraid assures me that it is possible. Bowie

Reducing the deleterious effects of ego related issues on the list: growing up individually.
by William L. Maltby 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Folks, I *suggest* that little or no reply to this is warranted. It's just the statements of an old fart trying to make a (slightly) better environment for all of us. These thoughts are offered for consideration and use as you see fit. For some, "Hey, that'll work for me too" is the hoped for result. No discussion is intended or warranted, IMO. If you recognize yourself in here, so what? I have no problem with it, you shouldn't. If you are obnoxious, have too little ego to withstand reasonable well-intentioned community-spirited criticism, ... have myriad other issues and believe I am referring to *you*; your problem, not mine. I may be referring to you, but why should you care? If you get embroiled in some of the negative activities exampled below with good intentions, I understand completely and do not unduly condemn you for your efforts. If the person that removed others from the list because their attitude was not to the liking of the powers-that-be wants to remove me too, go for it. It won't bother me. This place is no prize, in real-life terms. Nevertheless, ... I've not been a list member long, but I've sen enough to make me wonder if I want to stay here (save your snide self-serving comments, they waste bandwidth and have 0 useful product other than to your own ego). I recently was the *potential* victim of one of those threads that begins with a simple query, gets some alternatives discussed and descends into a folks-defending-ego thread. Not having a victim mentality, ego issues or need to walk on water in the eyes of anyone, I avoided the trap. But the thread started to go that way regardless. I like to feel that my behavior contributed to its early death. *All* of this is unnecessary and childish. Example: as minor background to lend credence to a possibility that had been proposed, I mentioned that I had worked on UNIX systems since way back when. Not waving my ego or trying to denigrate anyone else's POV or credentials, just supporting an assertion that there had been a time when things had been done a certain way. And questioning if it was not still so. Since I was discussing a solution conflicting with one posed by a knowledgeable participant, it seemed to appropriate to set the stage with an "I've worked on *IX since ..." clause. One did not interpret it as intended and chose to come flapping his background, degrees and experience . *But* he also provided some valuable education to me surrounding the topic. His need to "out credential" me (easily done since I have none) caused me no aggravation whatsoever. Wasted a few lines worth of reading time, but no big deal to me. *I* had no problem with the (somewhat) inappropriate nature of his response and did nothing more than thank him for taking the time and educating me on some of the conventions in place in the Linux (*IX?) community today. I *propose* that this should be the normal response to certain perceived objectionable behavior, as a courtesy to the rest of the list. Why? Selfishness. I get tired of <DEL> <DEL> <DEL> ... on the crap that follows. *If* there was any chance that one's objectionable behavior would be improved by pointing out various transgressions and/or lapses in etiquette, I say go for it. But there are certain individuals for which we know this effort to be a complete waste of time and energy. So why do it? Discrimination is needed. A good starting point may be "If I say this, *might* the person see it as a positive suggestion, as intended?". Anyway, this was the (potential) end of the thread... but nooooo. Someone else has to jump in. Don't misunderstand, I *completely* understand the emotional impetus, some of the history causing that impetus and think the interjection was not unreasonable and I know it was well-intentioned (for which I thank you). But part of the maturity we need on the list is to consider not only our on ego-centric needs to "stand up for ourselves and others", but the "personalities" of (and possible effects on) various list participants. To put it in a slightly humorous vein (I know this is not allowed and I will *never* let that issue die completely, but...) When you have an urge to reply to one who has demonstrated a persecution complex (justified or not), one who must always be right (and who may in actuality probably very often be so), one who can not see the harsh unforgiving nature of his relationship with others, one who is paranoid (aren't all sysadmins? Being paranoid does not mean they are *not* out to get you. There is a reason that a well known acronym is BOFH.), ... DO A RISK VS. REWARD ANALYSIS The Rasmussen(?) trees might be applied to your endeavor ( :-) ) If the reward is nothing more than the egotistical satisfaction of telling that SOB where to get off let the damn issue slide. If the reward seems minimal or unlikely to materialize at all, let the damn issue slide. If the adverse results seem very likely and/or *probably* significant, such that the perceived reward is not justified, let the damn issue slide. Additional considerations. Don't let someone else's problems become yours (ours, mine). *He* has ego issues? Not *my* problem and will not become so. He's paranoid? *I'm* not and will not become so. *He* is grating, intolerant, has tunnel-vision... pick the pejorative trait of the day... *not* (my/your/our) problem, let the damn issue slide. I thought the LFS crew was overly contentious. But considering the much higher level of activity, it was the garden of Eden compared to this place. *Some* of this is because there is nothing (that I have seen yet) that highlights or establishes the standards of behavior that the list expects. So far I have seen only an arbitrary removal of certain participants because one individual got irked and had the power to remove folks' privileges. Not a good way to run a community effort, IMO. Some of the dissension occurs over misinformation. It would be nice if everything posted was 100% complete and accurate. Can't be so. Corrections will be posted. I'm wrong! =:-0 So what! I have an ego that can withstand that condemnation. I suggest you go to a Dollar General or some such and purchase one for yourself. The strength of community knowledge lies in quantity as well as quality. Postings should not be discouraged for fear of condemnation resulting from erroneous information. Anal retentive types that insist only 100% complete and accurate information should appear are doing a disservice to the community. It denies the community the benefits of the interactions that can result. I feel no obligation to force you into believing I'm right. I offer what I have, right wrong or indifferent. I will *not* argue back and forth about its correctness if the issue can't be discussed rationally among *friends*. Do with it what you will. Someone thinks it's wrong-headed? Carve the crap out of it. Slice me, dice me, anyway you want to. Not an issue. I care not if your information is right or wrong. Google is your/my/our friend (one of many) in dispute resolution proceedings and the results need not be published if it will engender on-list wars. Open, tolerant discussions benefit all, except the terminally insecure (we used to call them a**hole engineers - because they always believed they were getting it there or were intent on giving it to another there and spent inordinate amounts of energy covering it - CYA). I *can* and *do* learn from everyone regardless of right/wrong. Maximization of learning through community knowledge and experience *demands* that incorrect information postings be expected and tolerated (kindness and consideration of responses to such are needed by all involved) And LFS folks even permitted and appreciated humor. A *big* plus compared to here (don't bother to say it). Anyway, that's all I wanted to offer. Take it any way you prefer. Flames off-list handled as I see fit, on-list shows what kind of a jerk you are to waste everyone's time. This posting *may* not be a waste, based on my subjective observations. Bill Maltby

Some of the version numbers are changed and there were some new package requirements. The file is attached. Overwrite the original file under /usr/lib/rpmstrap/scripts and itt will work again.

The laws already exist: Disturbing the peace, Misappropriation of public funds, Prohibition on unfunded mandates. What's lacking is prosecutors, judges, and juries who see the politicians as getting in the way of the statesmen and the people. To drag this back towards On Topic, it seems to me that the ntp folks might be petitioned to write up and submit to the Congress, a paper requesting them to keep their danged hands in one-another's pockets, and leave the clock alone. albeit not in those precise words...
