Hi Biz_User needs to switch to Sales_User, and I tried following in sudoers: Biz_User ALL=(Sales_User) ALL but I get following error when I run sudo su - Sales_User "Sorry, user Biz_User is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/su - Sales_User' as root on Server_Name" I know that if I add root in allowed users list, I can switch to other user , but in that way user can switch to root as well. %Biz_Users ALL=(Sales_User,root) ALL any better idea ?

Xboard rpm for CentOS 4
by vandaman2002-rt＠yahoo.co.uk 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Has anyone built an rpm for xboard for CentOS 4? I looked in the EPEL repo, KBS repo and rpmforge but none exist. The KBS repo has gnuchess in testing but what good is gnuchess without xboard? As usual the fedora SRPM for Fedora 6 and Fedora 9 cannot build on CentOS 4- they might build on CentOS 6 but i have no time machine :).

Installing a new VM on a xen box.
by James B. Byrne 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

HW = HPQ DC7700 DuoCore 1.8GHz, 4 x 2GB RAM, 1 x 1TB SATA (AHCI) OS = CentOS-5.2 ix_64 (xen) I am experimenting with Xen and with virtual machines in general for the first time. In consequence I have many questions. However, the one that I wish answered at the moment is simple: Given a DVD containing the CentOS-5.2_Final (i386) distribution mounted at /media/CentOS_5.2_Final on Dom0, what argument do I pass to the "Install Media URL" argument of the "Create a new virtual system" wizard" to install the 32 bit version of CentOS-5.2 onto a vm called test-1? I have tried things like: /media/CentOS_5.2_Final /media/CentOS_5.2_Final/images /media/CentOS_5.2_Final/images/diskboot.img etc. All attempts produce the same negative result. What URL is used to load the 32 bit OS from the dvd? I am a digest subscriber so the favour of a direct copy of any reply to the list is appreciated.

Video driver questions
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

My OQO has a VIA chipset. From the hwconf: class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 desc: "VIA Technologies, Inc. CX700M2 UniChrome PRO II Graphics" vendorId: 1106 deviceId: 3157 subVendorId: 1106 subDeviceId: 3157 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 1 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 0 When I install Centos, I default to the vesa driver, and it operates at the monitor's native 800x480. Of course I want more and to physically scroll the screen to see all of the content (the OQO has slide bars on it that do cause the current active window to scroll). When I change the monitor settings to Generic LCD 1024x768, I get that and 800x600 as an option. If I change the screen resolution to either 800x600 or 1024x768, and log out of X and log back in, my resolution is unchanged at 800x480. So I tried using the VIA driver that comes with Centos. It does not list the CX700, but, you know, give it a try. At first I get errors from X when logging in, finally I get changes to occur, but I am still at 800x480. Selecting 800x600 or 1024x768 mkaes no difference. Below is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Any ideas on what to try? # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "LCD Panel 1024x768" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 31.5 - 48.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 65.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection

More Samba Questions
by Joseph L. Casale 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

I have never setup a Samba server, and the recent thread here prompted to get on this I need to migrate two XP machines from using iSCSI to Samba. I thought the "+" preceding a username in the smb.conf file for a share definition told Samba to use the unix username? Unless I actually use swat to create and enable the user and take off the + it doesn't work. Any ideas what swat does when you create a user through that interface? Is there any way to simply force Samba to use locally created users in the share definition? Thanks! jlc

Firefox3 for CentOS4 -- dependency on evolution28 packages?
by Bart Schaefer 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

I'd been putting off installing the FX3 packages because of some extensions I use that don't have upgrades. [*] However, when FX1.5 crashed on me today I decided to finally go ahead. Fired up yum and I'm told I have to install a slew of evolution28 library packages in order to install the firefox package. Why? I removed evolution from my system for a reason, and I'd just as soon it stays gone. [*] Additional off-topic rant: Why was the API access to form history removed from Firefox? Why must I throw away my entire history to get rid of a few typographical errors to reduce the number of bogus field completion choices I'm offered?

Thunderbird does not follow url links in Firefox
by Theo Band 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Since the recent update from firefox2 to firefox3 the links in my mails do no longer work. No window pops up. After some debug I found the problem. Let's share it with others that experience the same problem: I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (manually downloaded, that might have caused the problem, I have not tried with 1.5) I'm using Firefox 3.0.2 (yum installed CentOS 4.7) To solve I created a small wrapper script that unsets LD_LIBRARY_PATH: cat <path>/firefox_wrap #!/bin/bash unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH firefox $@ To start add : user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "<path>/firefox_wrap"); to ~/.thunderbird/<salt>/prefs.js (or use the advanced config editor) The error message (for those Googling around): /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.2/firefox-bin: /opt/thunderbird-2.0.0.17/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12' not found (requiredby /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.2/libxul.so) Cheers, Theo

find
by tony.chamberlain＠lemko.com 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

I am looking for something similar to the windows SEARCH FILES comman with the option "files containing ..." (that is where I can specify a string and it will find all files containing that string -- not just having the string as part of the name but actually containing it in the text). Is there some way to do this?

By the time I received this message I had already installed the ia_64 version of CentOS-5.2 with the BIOS set to IDE emulation. If now I change the BIOS to use RAID then the system cannot see the SATA drive at all. Is it possible to change the BIOS setting to RAID and subsequently load the necessary drivers from the boot DVD without having to reinstall the entire system? If so, then what is the procedure?
