I've bandwidth limited my torrent to 400kbyte/s in, 50kbyte/s out and I'm sseeing just about exactly that (my ADSL is good for peak 500-600kbyte/sec in and 70kbyte/sec out, so if I don't restrict it, the torrent activity just about shuts down my network)

Torrent tracker for CentOS v5.3 working properly?
by Sorin Srbu 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, Is the tracker for the 5.3-release working properly? The only torrent I see actually downloading is CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1to6. The other three for the i386 DVD and ditto for x86_64 (cd+dvd) are just sitting there. The availability and the number of connected peers in the swarm for each torrent is rather high though. Do torrent downloads work from a single tracker at centos.org, or are those individual trackers depending on what mirror you download the torrent-file from? I've seen this behavior ever since CentOS v5.0. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu [Sysadmin, Systems Engineer] # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry, Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 >3 signals> GSM # Div of Org Pharm Chem, Mobile: +46 (0)701-718023 # Box 574, Uppsala University, Fax: +46 (0)18-4714482 # SE-751 23 Uppsala, Sweden Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # () ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # /\ # # MotD follows: # CentOS: The enterprise OS with no borders !

Replacing my Scalix mail server
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I really need to either upgrade my Scalix server or replace it. It has to be: Free Integrated with anti-spam IPv6 support optional anti-virus (processing concerns) I don't have to be able to port mail from the Scalix to the new server. Everyone can just POP their mail. I have read a bit about Zimbra, it comes as a tar for rhel 5. No rpm that I can find. I also found SME, I have a LOT of questions about it, and am asking on their forum board. Anything else out there I should look for?

live audio feed via telephone link
by Frank Cox 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I'm looking into costs and feasibility of moving a live feed from a FM radio station from the station to a point that's past the usable range of their radio signal. It's a rural location and Internet service is not available at the station. If the destination was closer or their transmitter was more powerful, I could avoid this step and just plug in a radio, but.... My best idea so far is to rent a dedicated phone line from the station to the point where we need the feed, then get some kind of on-the-fly audio compressor to hook up to the main board in the station, push it out over the phone line, then decompress it at the destination. I'm pretty sure there is dedicated hardware to do the compression/decompression (whatever they use to do those "radio remotes" from Sally's Sofa Sales without sounding like they are broadcasting from the bottom of a rain barrel) and I'm currently looking into that angle too, but I'm wondering if it would be cheaper/easier/better to have something running on Linux at both ends of the connection to handle the audio compression/decompression. Especially since I'm planning to run a Centos server at the destination end for other aspects of this project if we proceed with it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Authconfig
by Joseph L. Casale 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Anyone used authconfig to join a CentOS box to an AD Domain? I can't for the life of me get this command to even execute without error? Looking at the tui which I can make work, I am trying to glean possible settings from it but have no luck. Although krb5 auth is disabled and winbind is enabled, there is kerb conf that must be setup etc... Looking at /etc/sysconfig/authconfig from a temporary box built with a gui and joined successfully, I also can't make the cli equivalent work? I can't find a single piece of info via Google either. Any pointers would be helpful! jlc

I still get the same errors after adding my user id to /etc/at.allow. I tested whether job control was enabled by moving top into the background using ctrl-z and fg to return and that worked. Any suggestions as to what I am missing? I sure this problem is only ignorance on my part. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

cross building rpms for 32bit OS
by James B. Byrne 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

My test / development host runs CentOS-5.x x86_64. There I have successfully created an rpm for GiT-1.6.1-1 for x86_64. Now I would like to build the same rpm package for CentOS-5.x i386, but on the x86_64 machine. Is this even possible? If so, are there any resources that someone can refer me too that explains how? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Web based project management recomendations
by dnk 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an advanced to enterprise class project management package (web based) that runs with a pretty "vanilla" centos install. I would prefer to stick within the realm of php/mysql (as I am not too familiar with the java servers), but would venture there if the reasons were there to do so. The approach is not software dev management, but rather just project (of any kind) management. Thanks in advance. d
