Finally got it to work last night by placing the AP in WEP Open Authentication. The driver won't work with WEP Shared Key, or WPA/WPA2 in any mode. And, there is a lot of packet loss. This won't do for a laptop that has to go back to college and hit a lot of APs that may be configured with WPA. Next step is to remove the bcm43xx driver and replace it with the more modern b43 driver from Broadcom.

Any problem of auto updating using yum?
by MontyRee 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hello, all. My systems are centos 4.x or 5.x(i386 and x86_64) and various services(apache, mysql, java, sendmail... etc..). and I would like to set auto update using yum. But some staffs didn't agree my auto update plan, because some services can be effected by auto update. There were no side effects just yum updating until now, and it seems impossible for me to check all packages whether side effects or not before updates. How about your opinions about this? Anyone who have experienced troubles by auto update? Is there any good way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ 대딩들의 인맥관리! 윈도우 라이브 메신저로 해결하자! 채팅은 기본! 25GB 자료실은 덤! 대딩들의 아지트 윈메 클럽 http://im.msn.co.kr/Univ/

My card is a GeForce FX5200 is there an easy way to set it up as there seem to be a few options? Not sure how to increase scan frequency? is it dangerous?

Simple AD authentication for Samba share
by The Small Box Admin 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

I have a CentOS box that I'm basically using for file sharing with Samba. Currently I'm mapping the drive from an XP box with a Samba username/password combination. Is there a simple way to use AD or Windows authentication to allow the users to map the drive without having to use a separate username/password? That is without having to install LDAP and kerberos or whatever is needed to join the CentOS box to the AD. Thanks, Ken -- The Small Box Admin http://smallboxadmin.blogspot.com

router NAT problem
by Mintairov Mikhail 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hello All. I have a strange problem on my router. I use a xl2tpd program to establish a connection to the INTERNET. After I start xl2tpd it's create a new ppp0 device with correct ip parameters, also it's add some routes to the routing table and all this routes are correct too. After connection with provider are establish the router exec some simple iptables+NAT commands to give an INTERNET access to the LAN computers, and everything was working fine for a 2 or 3 years. But now but the local computers (192.168.127.0/24) con not establish a connection to some web sites or to some ftp servers. However, if I try to access to the same web sites from my router everything is good and it can access to every web or ftp server. First of all I recheck router table, and it's was correct. After it I rewrite my iptables rules (to create a simplest roles as can be) iptables -F iptables -F -t nat iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.127.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source [my internet ip] And nothing good happen. I try to use tcpdump to understand the problem, and not found the answer. Because there was no errors. Every packet from 192.168.127.0 iface had correct routing to ppp0 iface and after it the SNAT change the packets source ip to [my internet ip]. So everything looks correct, but when I try to access to some sites from router and from 192.168.127.[some] computer the "tcpdump -n ppp0" output was not the same. Here the "tcpdump -i ppp0 -n" output of situation when I try to access to one of web site from my router ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:13:23.293205 IP[my internet ip].34178 > 194.67.57.226.http: S 3824762316:3824762316(0) win 5680 <mss 1420,sackOK,timestamp 335559 0,nop,wscale 7> 01:13:23.309819 IP 194.67.57.226.http >[my internet ip].34178: S 715197421:715197421(0) ack 3824762317 win 5792 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 3391122112 335559> 01:13:23.309874 IP[my internet ip].34178 > 194.67.57.226.http: . ack 1 win 5680 <nop,nop,timestamp 335563 3391122112> 01:13:23.310118 IP[my internet ip].34178 > 194.67.57.226.http: P 1:585(584) ack 1 win 5680 <nop,nop,timestamp 335563 3391122112> 01:13:23.320893 IP 194.67.57.226.http >[my internet ip].34178: . ack 585 win 6424 <nop,nop,timestamp 3391122128 335563> 01:13:23.336371 IP 194.67.57.226.http >[my internet ip].34178: . 1:1409(1408) ack 585 win 6424 <nop,nop,timestamp 3391122144 335563> 01:13:23.336412 IP[my internet ip].34178 > 194.67.57.226.http: . ack 1409 win 8448 <nop,nop,timestamp 335570 3391122144> 01:13:23.377324 IP 194.67.57.226.http >[my internet ip].34178: . 1409:2817(1408) ack 585 win 6424 <nop,nop,timestamp 3391122144 335563> .............................. and alot of same strings ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And here the "tcpdump -i ppp0 -n" output of situation when I try to access to the same web site from 192.168.127.[some] computer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:20:31.783723 IP[my internet ip].39044 > 194.67.57.20.http: S 3269053516:3269053516(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 12725586 0,nop,wscale 6> 01:20:31.794530 IP 194.67.57.20.http >[my internet ip].3 9044: S 2208770058:2208770058(0) ack 3269053517 win 5792 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 568417946 12725586> 01:20:31.819422 IP[my internet ip].39044 > 194.67.57.20.http: . ack 1 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 12725598 568417946> 01:20:33.281135 IP[my internet ip].39044 > 194.67.57.20.http: P 1:689(688) ack 1 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 12727083 568417946> 01:20:33.291594 IP 194.67.57.20.http >[my internet ip].39044: . ack 689 win 6880 <nop,nop,timestamp 568419443 12727083> 01:20:46.431758 IP[my internet ip].39044 > 194.67.57.20.http: F 689:689(0) ack 1 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 12740233 568419443> 01:20:46.481649 IP 194.67.57.20.http >[my internet ip].39044: . ack 690 win 6880 <nop,nop,timestamp 568432635 12740233> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see the first 5 strings of those outputs are the same, but in the second situation there are no data transferring, and after 13 second of waiting the local computer send a FIN TCP packet (string number 6 in second listing). So, maybe someone can help me with understanding of this problem, because I don't have any ideas what can I do. I also know that router didn't have any hardware problem, because I have try to replace this router to another server and nothing has changed.

krb5kdc fails to start
by Hugh E Cruickshank 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

CentOS 4.7, Kerberos 1.3.4 Hi All: This is driving bonkers. A couple of weeks ago I started working on implementing Kerberos. I got as far as getting the primary/master KDC running on our CentOS development system before I got dragged off to work on something a little more pressing. I finally got back to it this week only to find that the krb5kdc service now fails to start. A check of the log files shows it has been working right up until the system was rebooted Sunday night. The reboot itself was not the problem as there had been previous reboots after which krb5kdc was able to restart. Here are the log entries for that latest retry: Jun 10 16:29:38 fisds0.forsoft.com krb5kdc[12490](info): setting up network... Jun 10 16:29:38 fisds0.forsoft.com krb5kdc[12490](info): setting up network...

The "unrecognized local address family 17" message were occurring even when it worked so I do not thing they are significant to this problem. As far as I am aware I have not made any changes to the system that should affect this. I have done a ton of Google searches but I have not turned up anything that seem to help. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

Output of lspci -n gives 14e4:4312 I believe I'm really close. After installing the firmware with fw-cutter, the load complaint about not finding bcm43xx-microcode5.fw went away. And...the device appears to attempt negotiation with the AP. Found another piece of guidance that the bcm43xx driver has problems with WEP and shared key...will try open authentication and WPA/WPA2 tonight. Dave

How to reply to a digest
by David McGuffey 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the digest, the result doesn't seem to look right. I cut/paste the proper subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original question and replies to be threaded. So...what is the appropriate way to respond when one is receiving the digest version? Dave
