Hi all- Usually i call out on this list for help on the CentOS matters but today I am fishing around trying to find an active forum for Solaris.

Thanks in advance- -rickp

Samba, ADS & Winbind Separator on CentOS 5.4
by Guy Boisvert 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi! I have a little problem with Samba. I have an ADS integrated CentOS 5.4 server. I had frequent access problem when M$ users create directories and files. So i thought to force users' persmissions by way of the "force user" parameter in smb.conf. First problem is that the forced users i want to apply are ADS users and named like "MYDOMAIN#Joe" in passwd file. When i use this name in smb.conf, i get this error when i run testparm: "ERROR: the 'winbind separator' parameter must be a single character.", even if i used "winbind separator =#". If i use "winbind separator =\" and name my users like "MYDOMAIN\Joe" in smb.conf, i have no error but users cannot access the share. Actually, i know that "#" is sometimes used for comments on the config file and "\" is sometimes used to escape characters. Now, what should i do to fix the problem? Change Winbind config to use another character? Use some kind of escaped character in smb.conf? I'm a little lost! Thanks! Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc.

Device enumeration during kickstart
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

By default, a kickstart installation will spread the configured partitions over all disks that are found, and the only way around that is to use --ondisk or ignoredisk. But I was wondering how reliable this method is. E.g. if there are four SATA ports on the system board, can I blindly assume that port one will always correspond to sda, port two to sdb, and so on? Can I assume that a second disk added to a one-disk system will always show up as sdb, and sda will remain sda?

486 custom kernel
by Jerry Geis 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi all, Is it possible to take the 686 CentOS 5, install that in virtual machine, install a custom kernel that is the 486 flavor, take that image and put it on a 8G CF card - insert that into a small form factor 486 class machine and have that work? I am hoping the extra instructions in a 686 (MMX, SEE etc) are not used by any libraries that I would be using (just standard stuff) and the new 486 compiled kernel would not be using those instructions either. Can this possible work? I am hoping to not use debian i386 basically. Thanks, Jerry

Firewall for virtual machines
by MHR 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

I realize I'm not getting a lot of questions answered here lately, and I'm going to presume that this is for legitimate reasons (i.e., people don't know or are too busy to think about it), not because they seem stupid (if they do, please tell me, on the list or privately). I run Windows as a VMWare guest on top of my CentOS host, and I generally have not used a firewall on the guest. This is partly because I only run it rarely, and it seems like a waste when it's running on a host that has its own, pretty effective firewall, but today I began to wonder - would it be a bad idea (or a complete waste) to use a firewall, like ZoneAlarm, on my Windows guest OS? Opinions welcome. Thanks. mhr
