LDAP useradd command?
by Eric B. 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, Is there an equivalent of a useradd for systems that are using LDAP user management? I know I can build an LDIF file and import it, but it is a bit of a pain to do it manually all the time. Is there not an easier / faster way? Thanks, Eric

FireWire in CentOS 5.3
by Michael A. Peters 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

I am being given a digital camcorder. It uses Mini DV tapes and either connects via typical RCA cables (IE to a tv) or via FireWire. I don't have the brand on hand, but I was told it can be ripped to DV like any standard FireWire camcorder (I believe dvgrab will be sufficient). I just installed an older FireWire card I have that I used at one point in Fedora for my iPod. It was a PITA back then because sometimes an update to Fedora would break the kernel module, so I ended up just using USB. That was some time ago. I scrapped that computer but kept the cards, and have now installed the card in my current computer in hopes that I will be able to go from the camera to HD in preparation for editing / transcoding (to theora) for the web. lspci reports the following info: 01:08.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link) What is the current state of FireWire in CentOS ? Will there be a need to build a custom kernel I boot into when I want to attach the camera and rip digital video from it? If it matters, I'm 64-bit. I assume I can always plug the camera into my DVD recorder attached to my TV and slip then rip the content from the DVD-R in CentOS but I suspect I'll get better quality going straight from camera to hard disk as I believe the above method is digital to analog to digital, and I believe using dvgrab also results in higher resolution to start with. On the subject of hard disk, I'm probably going to buy another disk for ripping the content. I can go SATA II internal but I'm a little worried about heat since my home is not air conditioned, would an external FireWire drive be a good option or am I better really better off going internal SATA II? The card (and camera) are original FireWire 400, not the faster FireWire 800 that's been out for awhile now. Thanks for any suggestions.

WebDav on CentOS?
by Dave 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hello, I'm trying to set up webdav on apache on centos. My web area has dav on set, it's permissions are 775 owner of the apache user and group of the webdev group which i put users in who can write to the area. As a user locally logged on to the machine i can cd to the area and create content though it is owned and has a group of the user who made it i don't think this is what i want. Whenever i try to connect via webdav i'm informed that a new folder can not be created. Here's some output any help appreciated. Thanks.

Kernel NULL pointer vulnerability
by Marcus Moeller 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi all. Julien Tinnes and Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team have recently found a Linux kernel vulnerability which affects all 2.4 and 2.6 kernels since 2001 on all architectures. Please read the announcement on LWM: http://lwn.net/Articles/347006/ for further information about the vulnerability and the exploit which has been provided by Brad Spengler (you will find updates on his twitter site). The only workaroud that is known to me atm is to disable the affected kernel modules (which should be handled with care as some of them may provide necessary functionality in your operating environment): echo "alias net-pf-3 off # Amateur Radio AX.25 alias net-pf-4 ipx # IPX alias net-pf-5 off # DDP / AppleTalk alias net-pf-9 off # X.25 # alias net-pf-10 off # IPv6 alias net-pf-23 off # IrDA alias net-pf-24 # PPPoE alias net-pf-31 off # Bluetooth" >> /etc/modprobe.conf Best Regards Marcus

KVM - missing dependency
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 18 Aug '09

Hello Everyone, I've installed kvm from the "lfarkas" repo on CentOS 5.3, as per the CentOS wiki page. I now want to install the virt-manager package, but yum is giving me this error: Error: Missing Dependency: python-virtinst >= 0.400.3 is needed by package virt-manager-0.7.0-5.el5.x86_64 (lfarkas) I can't find that package anywhere in that repo. So, where do I get it from? BTW, I would have asked this on the CentOS virt list, but that list is really quiet.

will C5.3 support a SmartArray 6i 'out of box', or does it need drivers to boot from this? I am advising someone else remotely and don't have the hardware handy to test.

How to create a tun-device with CentOS packages only?
by Andreas Rogge 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello List, I've got a somewhat weird question. Let me tell you what my intent is first: We're running a set of Dell boxes with CentOS 4. Some of them use OpenVPN. As we need to monitor the system status of these boxes, we use the Dell supplied OMSA package. As it turns out, OMSA totally breaks if you've got one or more tun devices configured. AFAICT Dell denies support with that issue, because OpenVPN is a third-party add-on. Now instead of discussing with Dell for hours, I'd like to reproduce the issue without OpenVPN which brings me to my question: How can I create a tun device without using any add on packages using only software contained in CentOS? Regards, Andreas -- Solvention Egermannstr. 6-8 53359 Rheinbach Tel: +49 2226 158179-0 Fax: +49 2226 158179-9 http://www.solvention.de mailto:info@solvention.de

Bash Help
by Joseph L. Casale 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

I am trying to write a script that can pass cmd line args into an executable it runs, I need at least 4 args, but I need to pass the rest to it in the script if they exist. $@ doesn't help because I use the 1st and 2nd etc, so how do I elegantly handle passing args 4+ if they exist on the end of the command I call? Is there a simple way without constructing the command to execute on the fly by analyzing $# first and building it everytime? Thanks! jlc

advice needed about "554 Too many recipients"
by Rudi Ahlers 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hi all, A client of ours just requested to increase the max_recipients in Exim to 300, since he keeps getting "554 Too many recipients" error when sending a marketing email from MS Outlook. Before you tell me to use Pine / Mutt / etc to send plain-text emails via mailman, this isn't an option. I would like to know, what are the implications of increasing the default 100 to 300? If 300 email recipients were added to the "To:" field, does it establish 300 connections to the SMTP server, or not? In the Exim documentation (http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch14.html#SECID105) I found this: "If this option is set greater than zero, it specifies the maximum number of original recipients for any message. Additional recipients that are generated by aliasing or forwarding do not count. SMTP messages get a 452 response for all recipients over the limit; earlier recipients are delivered as normal. Non-SMTP messages with too many recipients are failed, and no deliveries are done. Note: The RFCs specify that an SMTP server should accept at least 100 RCPT commands in a single message." But, this doesn't tell me if it will have a performance issue with the server, or if other mail servers will have problems with our mail server sending the email to so many recipients in one go. Can someone give me some pointers on this one? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
