stock openjdk vs. epel
by Les Mikesell 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

If you have the epel repo installed and enabled during a yum update, you get java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.0.b12.el5.2 instead of the stock .b09 version. Is this intentional and desirable? I thought epel generally did not replace stock components with newer versions. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Setting up a Dynamic DNS server listening to dyndns protocol
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Greetings, Somehow my googling skills are not upto mark. Pray can somebody point out resources which works like GnuDIP but listens to Dyndns protocol as one of the proprietary gateways can talk only in dyndns or ddo. Basic scenario: one Private DNS server updating itself using data thrown at it by various known adsl based client (gateway device) using dyndns / ddo protocol. This server will be on a public IP and updates should happen only by those clients (gateway device). Not much can be done on the device as it is live and I can't change device. any help will be appreciated Regards, Rajagopal

Apache DocumentRoot

I just assumed that setting this in the httpd.conf to the expected /var/www/html and making all my sites actual virtual hosts would place any request made by ip in /var/www/html, but it goes to the first vhost? How can I get the above behavior? Thanks! jlc

Yum Issue
by Clint Dilks 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Yum using proxy that requires authentication and a Password that contains the two characters \/ fails normally I can get yum to work with a proxy that requires authentication when required by doing something like http_proxy=http://<my username>:<my password>@<proxy server>:<proxy server port> export http_proxy or by filling in the appropriate information in yum.conf. But if the password contains the characters \/ this does not work. I have tried quoting the password in various ways none seem to work eg export http_proxy=\/alid@proxy.example.com:80 export http_proxy='\/alid@proxy.example.com:80' export http_proxy="\/alid@proxy.example.com:80" export http_proxy=\\\/alid@proxy.example.com:80 Anyone have any ideas for a work around to this that doesn't involve changing the password or modifying the proxy config ? I have tried reporting this as http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4123 but mantisbt presents the information I submitted in a way I didn't expect. If anyone can tell me how to modify the bug report to look the way I expected please let me know.

Re: [CentOS] setup schedule cron job every other week?

From: mcclnx mcc > 0 0 8-31/14 * 6 /script.sh From: John Doe <jdmls(a)yahoo.com> > 0 0 8-14 * 6 /script.sh > 0 0 22-28 * 6 /script.sh According to the man page, neither of these will not do what the OP wants. Both will execute the command EVERY Saturday. The first will also execute it on the 8th and 22nd of the month. The second will execute the command TWICE a day AND days 8-14 AND 22-28. The man pages says if any of the day parameters match, the command is executed. Unfortunately for the OP, the day parameters are an OR operation and not an AND operation. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys.

CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and HPLIP-3.9.12
by gene.poole＠macys.com 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

I recently purchased a HP Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a) and it's ethernet attached. It's been configured and works perfectly from WinXP, Win Vista, Windows 7, and Fedora 11 x86_64. However, on my machine running CentOS 5.4 x86_64 I can't get the configuration to work so that it prints duplex (2-sided). The HP Setup appears to be working from the command line, but the graphic portion doesn't appear to work. Any ideas? TIA, Gene Poole
