Strange 'find' misbehaviour
by Niki Kovacs 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi, I just found out something strange. Try it out for yourselves. Here goes. Search for any directories under /boot: # find /boot/ -type d /boot/ /boot/grub /boot/lost+found So far so good. Now execute a detailed listing on the results: # find /boot/ -type d -exec ls -l \{} \; total 6203 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68663 sep 3 2009 config-2.6.18-164.el5 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 avr 6 10:40 grub -rw------- 1 root root 3228842 avr 6 10:30 initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img drwx------ 2 root root 12288 avr 6 10:19 lost+found -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80032 mar 12 2009 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107405 sep 3 2009 symvers-2.6.18-164.el5.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 954947 sep 3 2009 System.map-2.6.18-164.el5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1855924 sep 3 2009 vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 total 257 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 avr 6 10:40 device.map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7584 avr 6 10:40 e2fs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7456 avr 6 10:40 fat_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6720 avr 6 10:40 ffs_stage1_5 -rw------- 1 root root 655 avr 6 10:40 grub.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6720 avr 6 10:40 iso9660_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 avr 6 10:40 jfs_stage1_5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 avr 6 10:40 menu.lst -> ./grub.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6880 avr 6 10:40 minix_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9248 avr 6 10:40 reiserfs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55808 mar 12 2009 splash.xpm.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 avr 6 10:40 stage1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104988 avr 6 10:40 stage2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7072 avr 6 10:40 ufs2_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6272 avr 6 10:40 vstafs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8904 avr 6 10:40 xfs_stage1_5 total 0 Why does 'find' suddenly list everything... and not just the directories? I'm puzzled. Niki

is there easy way to upgrade gtk on centos 4.8?
by Tommy Zong 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, I need to use wxPython-src-2.8.10.1 with GraphicContext support which requires gdk_cario_xxx APIs introduced from GTK 2.8. Is there any easy way to upgrade gtk since there are lots of dependences? I ever tried yum but it can not upgrade GTK. Thanks. - Tommy

(OT) OpenOffice.org calc chart strangeness.
by Bill Campbell 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

I am attempting to create a simple line chart graphing three columns from a soffice-calc spreadsheet. I expect it to take the leftmost column as the X-Axis, plotting the others on the Y-Axis, but it always creates an X-Axis of the row number in the columns, and the first column amongst the data. I have tried this on OpenOffice.org 3.2.0, NeoOffice(R) 3.0.2 Patch 2, iWork Pages, and Excel 12.2.4 in Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. It does what I expect in iWork Pages and M$-Excel, but not in the various incantations of OpenOffice.org. I OO-calc has gone to a fancy wizard thingy that doesn't seem to have any way to specify details for the X-Axis, and I can't find anything useful in the on-line documentation. Does anybody know how one gets this to work in OpenOffice.org? The Linux tie-in is that I'm getting data from a postgresql database that lives on a Linux box, and none of the fancy commercial products seem to be able to use it in their data sources. On the other hand, I have written a python script that extracts the data from the postgresql database and creates the pretty reports using groff and gplot totally on Linux which is faster in any case for my current problem.

Hi folks I'm trying to use a Netgear WG111-2 USB-wifi adapter on a Centos 5.3 Box. Someone has done it? It seems not to be supported by the kernel. Thanks David

Disc Cloning Question
by Joseph L. Casale 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I have a server with a stock install scheme with the exception that /boot and / are on two md raid 1 mirrors over two discs. I need to remove those two large discs and replace them with smaller discs. Given the lvm over md, and big to small scenario, anyone know any automated app that can do this? I don't want to spend the time to resize the ext3 partition, the vg etc and re-mirror manually... Thanks! jlc

Recommendation for RADIUS server & client
by Simeun Furtula 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hello list, I'm planning to make a small network, where users pay monthly for using networks resources. Can you recommend me some free radius server with a nice gui frontend (web will be fine)? It should be compatible with MikroTik. Thanks, Uth0x000092

vsftpd writing files 2 times - once as root
by Dirk H. Schulz 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I have configured my vsftpd with virtual users all of which are mapped to a system user for file system permissions (let's call him 'ftpsystemuser'). That means, if someone uploads files they are writting using owner and group of the system user: > -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpsystemuser ftpsystemuser 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine > Leistungspr?fungen.doc Now we have the phenomenon that some files and folders are written twice, one instance as it should be and the other with owner and group 'root' and with html-like file name syntax. For example: > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine > Leistungspr%FCfungen.doc > -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpsystemuser ftpsystemuser 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine > Leistungspr?fungen.doc This looks like a security problem: the process writing these files should not be able to do this as root, should it? And then it is very annoying. Has anyone seen that? Is that something I can configure off somehow? Any hint or help is appreciated, any deeper insight very welcome. Dirk
