Greasemonkey question
by Boris Epstein 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hello all, Sorry about going a bit off-topic (the question is not really Linux-related) but here it goes nonetheless: 1) How does one create a webpage with a Greasemonkey script that is installable? 2) Why does it happen that a Firefox installation in a user's account (i.e., the configuration which amongst other things contains Greasemonkey scripts) would all of a sudden lose them? Thanks. Boris.

Apache not liking directories outside of /var/www
by Boris Epstein 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, It appears that on my nice little CentOS 5.3 machines Apache only allows me to store content in directories which are under /var/www/ For instance, putting content in /var/www/test and defining the following alias: Alias /test /var/www/test then accessing it under http://hostname/test works great. Not copy that same content to /home/test, change the alias to: Alias /test /home/test and you get Error 403. Any idea why that would be? Never had this sort of trouble anywhere, including under CentOS 5.0 and 5.1 Thanks in advance for any and all help. Boris.

CentOS as a router
by James B. Byrne 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

I am setting up a small CentOS-5.3 host to act as a router. I have the device configured and working. What I am trying to accomplish now is configuring the firewall so as to protect both the router and the LAN. The host configuration has the WAN attached to eth0 (IP_ADDR = A) and the LAN attached to eth1 (IP_ADDR = B). The default gateway for B is A. The default gateway for B is B-1. There is a static route set for eth0 (A) to route traffic for B/24 to B. My understanding is that INCOMING packets, for the purposes of iptables, originate outside the host interfaces and that OUTGOING packets originate from, or are forwarded across, the host itself. So, as I understand things, traffic from network C/24 destined to B/24 comes IN eth0, is forwarded to eth1, and then goes OUT eth1. Similarly, traffic from B/24 to C/24 comes IN eth1 and goes OUT eth0. Is my understanding correct? I have set up four custom chains, one each for IN and OUT on each of the two eth i/f. Incoming packets for eth0 are sent to the WAN-IN-CHAIN, outgoing are sent to the WAN-OUT-CHAIN. In a similar fashion I have LAN-IN-CHAIN and LAN-OUT-CHAIN. My confusion arises from trying to setup an iptables filter on the WAN-In-CHAIN so that traffic arriving to eth0 cannot connect to either A or B, but can nonetheless pass through B to B/24. I cannot seem to discover an arrangement whereby I can do this and still maintain network connectivity to B/24 from a console session running on the router itself. Further, I wish to prevent any incoming connection from the WAN for any source address purporting to belong to the B/24 netblock (IP spoofing). Again, whatever arrangements that I try, whenever I enable such a rule I lose network connectivity from the console session to the LAN. I would appreciate some guidance and an explanation of what fundamental issue it is that I am missing. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

OT: Newest kernels much smaller in size
by Lanny Marcus 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

I'm updating my Desktop and curious as to the reason for the huge difference in size, between the oldest kernel, which will be removed, and the newest one that will be installed. Question: Did they remove a lot of things from the kernel or rewrite it much more efficiently? TIA. Installing: kernel i686 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 updates 15 M Removing: kernel i686 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 installed 40 M

Execution from ip-up.local
by Ed Warner 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi, I'm using Firestarter as my firewall. If I restart the network or my DSL line goes down, I have to manually restart Firestarter. I have sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh stop and then sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start in my ip-up.local file. I confirmed ip-up.local us being executed by placing an entry in the logs, but it appears firestarter is not or at least not correctly. Does anyone have a suggestion as how I could further troubleshoot this problem? Thanks for your help.

Current Infighting
by Cory Rainey 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Most often, I sit here and read the posts because I don't feel I'm qualified yet to be of help to anyone posting in this mailing list. I chose CentOS for my work file server because I had always used RedHat and Fedora and felt comfortable with it. I feel blessed to be part of this community and would be sadly disappointed if it were to self destruct. I appreciate the developers and would not have a clue how they do what they do. I have a great product with support when I need it from the forums and help there when I can as well. That's all I ask. I would gladly donate to the project if there was anything left after paying the bills. I'm sure my boss would as well but, he couldn't even give me a raise this year and is concerned about the future given the economy. Cory

ledgersmb installation
by Frank Cox 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

I'm attempting to install ledgersmb on Centos 5 and I'm sure that I've missed something. After doing the initial installation, I get a 404 when I get to the part of the instructions that tell me to go to http://localhost/ledgersmb/admin.pl /etc/httpd/conf.d/ledgersmb.conf contains the following line: Alias /usr/share/ledgersmb WORKING_DIR /usr/share/ledgersmb exists and contains a file named admin.pl /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf contains the following line: Include conf.d/*.conf But when I go to http://localhost/ledgersmb/admin.pl I get this entry in the apache log: 127.0.0.1 - - [08/Aug/2009:15:47:30 -0600] "GET /ledgersmb/admin.pl HTTP/1.1" 40 4 291 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.12) Gecko/2009072711 CentOS/3.0.12-1.el5.centos Firefox/3.0.12" What have I missed here? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
