Chroot Install
by Marcus Moeller 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Good Morning, I want to update my CF-Microdrive for my router with CentOS (currently there is Slacky on it). I have attached the microdrive to my notebook using a pcmcia CF adapter. Within my CentOS installation the drive is detected correctly as ide_cf and all partitions are shown. But as the installer does not ship the necessary modules for a pcmcia ide installation i am searching for a way to either add these, or to prepare the device from my box within a chroot environment. Any ideas? Best Regards Marcus

Has anyone had a go with the iFolder stuff on Centos 5? I saw there used to be repos for Centos 4, but those are out of date. d

CentOS automatically blocks port 80 out-of-the-box
by David M Lemcoe Jr. 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Maybe I just haven't installed enough distros, but the times I've installed CentOS, I've had to remember that by default, iptables is blocking inbound port 80 requests. This leads me to believe that I have a non-OS firewall error because I can ping but not http request. Is there a particular reason for this? Or is it a fail on my end? Thanks, David Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Issues with vsftpd install

Re: [CentOS] FreeIPA
by Per Qvindesland 08 Apr '09

I have heard rumours from some Red Hat employees that IPA will be integrated into Spacewalk this was about 1.5 months ago which would also make sense since Spacewalk is supposed to be their single point of management tool. But as I said it's rumours.

Rebuilding FreeIPA is probably possible too but how long will that be possible ? FreeIPA isn't looking at being backward compatible and don't focus on RHEL interopability. It can probably work for a certain time, but surely not as long as an Enterprise timelife ... That's maybe worth discussing it though. On the other hand, centos-ds is in the testing repo for a while and there were not a lot of feedback : the plan is/was to move it to extras when enough testing/reports have hit the -devel list ... -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

3rd party DNS
by Dnk 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Please reply off list as this is ot from CentOS. Just looking or a recommendation of a 3rd party DNS provider (my client prefers free) with a web based control pannel (I doubt there is any other way). One of the important features is being able to set the ttl levels. I just have not used any, so I am not sure what to recommend to them. Thanks in advance. D

USB Thumb Drive Confusion
by Al Sparks 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I am running CentOS 4.7. I have a USB flash (thumb) drive that has a bunch of files placed there by Windows. I plugged it into the CentOS machine, and when I listed the files under "/media/usb-name", there was nothing there. I created an empty file: touch blah and it showed up when I did list it. I noticed, checking dmesg that it was attached to /dev/sdb. So I did a quick fdisk /dev/sdb I saw that it had a partition of type of W95 FAT16 under /dev/sdb1. How come I'm not able to see files placed on that device by XP/Vista machines when I plug it into the CentOS 4.7 machine, but I'm able to create a file on it, and list it? I did double-check and plugged that drive into my XP workstation and sure enough I was able to see all the files. === Al
