Their default configuration is not set up to Shutdown the box the UPS is connected to. Once I changed the configuration, the test went perfectly. :-) This wasn't the SW for me to try to "roll my own" RPM with, since the Source code wasn't available to me, etc. Thanks to everyone who replied, I have a lot more understanding about how the SW for your UPS is configured (and why) and a little understanding of what packaging SW involves. Much appreciated!

Can this MB be used with Centos 4 (or 5)?

Nfs v4 only - how to disable nfs v3?
by Olaf Mueller 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hello, I have nfs version 4 running on a CentOS 5.2 server to export /home. That works great so for, but clients can mount /home with nfs version 3 too. How can I disable nfs v3 on the server? Thank you Olaf

Best CentOS to install on *old* laptop?
by Bart Schaefer 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I've found an old IBM OmniBook 800 and am curious whether I can get it going again. (Currently it boots either Windows 95 or some then-contemporary version of Slackware.) The CDROM is external (SCSI, I think) and the machine won't boot from it, so it'd require a boot floppy. Any suggestions? Or is CentOS entirely the wrong Linux to be thinking about for this?

Deleting Large Files
by Joseph L. Casale 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I have an issue with a busy CentOS server exporting iSCSI and NFS/SMB shares. Some of the files are very large, and when they get deleted IO climbs to an unacceptable rate. Is there a way to purge a file with little to no IO overhead on ext3? Thanks! jlc

cups & hp-toolbox
by Roger Wells 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hello, I installed a printer (HP LaserJet 4350n) via CUPS Web Interface. Following this when I run hp-toolbox a dialog claiming that "No Installed HP Devices Found" is displayed. This is true even when I am the root user. This worked as expected on RHEL4 on the same computer (Thinkpad X31) with the same printer. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks, roger wells -- Roger Wells, P.E. SAIC 221 Third St Newport, RI 02840 401-847-4210 (voice) 401-849-1585 (fax) roger.k.wells(a)saic.com

Cannot open port 631 for Cups printer sharing
by b.j. mcclure 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

I have been trying to set up printer sharing on the LAN.All machines are CentOS 5.2 fully updated. The problem server is a fresh build. The box it is replacing worked fine for many months. The problem appears to be a closed port 631 on the new box. iptables and ip6tables are stopped as shown by the output below. To confirm I was using nmap correctly I ran it against the old server first which shows 631 open. No matter what I do to the new box (192.168.2.205) 631 remains closed. I was running it on the new box via ssh which I think eleminates any swithc/router issues. Any thoughts gladly accepted. This must be something simple/stupid I have overlooked. Not much hair left to pull out. ;-/ B.J.
