Thanks Bill for your concern and tips, but it is me who accidentally change the file permission when I run chown command with the wrong parameter. Tsk tsk, I guess I am lucky that the machine are just my test machine for evaluating systems. junji aisalen.wordpress.com Linux Registered User #253162 CentOS User New Email names for you!

BackupPC: 2 newbie questions
by Timothy Murphy 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

1. Will BackupPC backup files in NFS-mounted directories? If so, is there any simple way of preventing this? 2. I have seen it suggested that it is not a good idea to backup onto a partition on the same machine as the BackupPC server? Is that true? If so, is a partition on a separate drive on the same machine also bad? Ps I tried asking on the BackupPC mailing list/newsgroup but seem to have failed to communicate in some way.

AHCI at boot?
by Gordon McLellan 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

I'm having trouble getting a Centos installation to boot on a system with hdd's hanging off an AHCI hba. Long ago, I posted about only seeing four of the six sata ports on my asus server board. According to research I've done since then (I now need the ports!), the solution is to enable the AHCI bios, which turns on NCQ and the last two ports. The already installed system does not like the fact I've changed to ahci and does not load the ahci module, eventually failing to boot complaining it cannot mount the root fs, killing init, etc. If I boot off the 5.2 installation dvd or a fedora 9 dvd, the kernel boots just fine, loads up the ahci module and sees the drives no problem. So I'm wondering what config files I need to tweak, to help the already installed system use the "new" ahci controller? Previously, it appears to have been using the piix module to access the drive with the root fs on it. I'm using the 64-bit 2.6.18-92.1.18 centosplus kernel (for XFS support). The box is running an asus dsbf-de board, with 2x e5405 cpus and 16g of ram. There are six drives on the ahci, one 80g "system" drive (the boot drive), and five 750g storage drives. There is also a supermicro 8 port sata hba in the system, with five 250g drives on it. The supermicro uses the sata_mv module and is detected just fine. Thanks for any suggestions! Gordon

Kerberos for squid auth
by Joseph L. Casale 21 Dec '08

When you use kinit to acquire a Kerberos ticket prior to joining a Win2k3 domain with net ads join -U <upn> is that ticket merely used for the join that follows? When it expires does this mean anything? Thanks, jlc

FTPS setup problem
by Guy Boisvert 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website for us and we want them to access securely our development server. Internally, we access it with regular FTP (we use DreamWeaver 8). In the references i saw, i'd just add the following lines and it is supposed to work: ssl_enable=YES allow_anon_ssl=NO force_local_data_ssl=NO force_local_logins_ssl=NO ssl_tlsv1=YES ssl_sslv2=YES ssl_sslv3=NO rsa_cert_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem Here are the previous lines in my vsftpd config: anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES xferlog_std_format=YES chroot_local_user=YES chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.chroot_list pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES listen=YES tcp_wrappers=YES I generated the PEM cert with the following command: openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem -out /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem I tried to connect with FileZilla without luck. I heard that FileZilla may have a problem with vsftpd in FTPS mode so i downloaded SmartFTP which i read should be able to connect. When i try, i get this error message: SSL/TLS client handshake failed (Error = 0x80090308) Does anybody could give me a pointer on this? Thanks in advance and happy holidays to everybody!

flash fails to work on Los Angeles Times website - fix
by Mark Pryor 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

Hello, I have a 32-bit install of C5.2 on my Intel Centrino Laptop (2005). The Adobe flash plugin works fine in Firefox in all cases except on the Los Angeles Times website http://www.latimes.com. I was baffled by this for a few months, since it works on another 32-bit C5.2 box. When I realized that the only real difference was that the laptop had no LAMP install, and both had the same elaborate set of hosts redirects (to avoid adverts), it seemed reasonable that the /etc/hosts file might be the culprit. Sure enough, both boxes had this line in the redirects ----------- /etc/hosts ------------ 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net ----------- end snip --------- I could see that flash was hanging on the laptop when it looked for a response from ad.doubleclick.net In order to fix the bug, I commented out the line. Flash now worked! In order to avoid the advert, I changed 127.0.0.1, to another private LAMP install on my home network (192.168.1.104). Problem solved. At the very least this redirect needs to return a response, or the flash video will hang and never start. This is true for the LA Times implementation of adverts, at least. Maybe your newspaper sites behave similarly. My 2cents worth of troubleshooting, Mark

Have you looked at SSL-Explorer? Erm... I mean Adito? SSL-Explorer appears to have been taken over by Barracuda but still forked into Adito.

>From what I can see nagios' check_ping monitor executes /bin/ping, >in which case you need to make sure /bin/ping is owned by root >and is setuid (chmod u+s /bin/ping) > >nate That solved it. Same with file permission with mount, umount, su, and ping6. Thank you very much. Get your new Email address!
