PDNS
by Jason Pyeron 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Does anyone have experience with PDNS? The reason I ask is that I have never heard of it before today, but it looks like we might want to leverage its sql backend capabilites. My (useless) searches lead me to: * http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-es/2009-February/004499.html * http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-July/078975.html (in spanish...) * http://www.tummy.com/journals/entries/kevin_20070326_163156 * http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2005-November/002829.html * http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/powerdns-vs-… 636478/ (same dilemma as mine) In particular do you have any complaints about doing complicated setups? Windows machines registering themselves? Upstream provider's continued support after 5.x? Any other jibes or cheers? -Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

I have very basic question: I have downloaded *CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD* from CentOS website. Now I need to install it on my Acer Laptop permanently not as a liveCD. How do I burn it to a DVD to be able to install it by simply restarting my laptop? Thank you, Sam

things weirdly different in new installation
by fred smith 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I've just built a new system and installed latest Centos 5.3 on it. My old box also has an up to date Centos 5 on it. Some things are just plain different between the two installations, and it's stumping me why that would be. Example: on the old box, the shutdown dialog offers restart, cancel, shutdown, and also standby and hibernate. and the standby and hibernate options work, too. The new box, it only offers restart, cancel, or shutdown. Oddly, the main "System" dropdown offers "suspend" as well as "logoff" and "shutdown" submenus. Since it's a desktop, I won't often want to suspend or hibernate, but it may occasionally be nice to have the option to hibernate (e.g., power is off, UPS is about dead, hibernate could save my work.) Ideas, anyone?

Embedded Question
by Joseph L. Casale 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

A friend asked me to setup an embedded appliance with an RO root for minimal maintenance to primarily stream shoutcast out to an amp. The only thing I knew that might do this is iMedia Linux, but the project is practically dead with little to no activity. Is it possible to do something like this with CentOS? Doesn't seem to be much info on the /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root file. Anyone know a good place to get info on this? I would rather use CentOS if possible as I also want to use this a firewall/vpn for them and that would be easy and reliable w/ CentOS. Thanks! jlc
