What CentOS (5) packages are needed to setup X11 forwarding? I don't want to install a full desktop, just the minimal to forward some server windows to my desktop. Regards, Dnk

OK. Now that I have already upgraded, how do I migrate my bookmarks. :( Should have exported them before the upgrade, I suspect....

Centos 5.2 and 2.6.18-92 Kernel backported SATA fixes?
by Michael Rock 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Last year to get motherboards with the G33 chipset with SATA working with Centos I had to either use David Harbic fixes or use Fedora 8 since it had the later 2.6.25 kernel. I no longer see David's fixes available and also see in the 5.2 release notes "update SATA driver and infrastructure". Did Redhat finally incorporate fixes to full support the new G33 chipset and SATA? I have more of these G33 chipset motherboards with Q6600 cpu. Trying to decide which is the least hassle setup and long term i386 or x86_64, on either Centos 5.2 or Fedora 9?

Any ideas? (I've also modified create parameter for squid be owner of access logs and run by hand logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/squid to see if it repeats the case) Thanks in advance -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -

CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ?
by Mário Gamito 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows folder from a Linux box with the command: # mount -t smbfs (...) but I get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'". Does this mean that CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ? If so, how can I enable it ? I'm using 5.1 Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

Firebug 1.2.0b4 for FF3
by Gavin Carr 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

The current beta version of Firebug doesn't appear to install on Firefox 3 on CentOS 5.2, apparently because it's reporting itself as 3.0b5 rather 3.0. I tweaked the minVersion requirement in the xpi to 3.0b5 and it seems to be working fine for me now. In case anyone else is interested in testing it, my tweaked version is available here: http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/dist/firebug-1.2.0b4-fx.xpi If it turns out to be stable we might be able to convince the firebug team to relax the minVersion requirement for us CentOS users. Cheers, Gavin

That's a nice trick though, I noticed after the 3rd attempt that it goes to our domain registrars nameservers, then segment faults again. But I'm sure this will do the trick On another server it worked as expected, and I could see which nameserver returned the query. My reason for looking for this is that we run 2 nameservers, one on Linux & 1 on Windows - serving the same domain, but it's not synced, so I wanted to see what happens if records change on one server and not the other. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff

Couple of CentOS 5.2 dhcp notes
by Ian Forde 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

1. Apparently, since I updated from 5.1 to 5.2, dhcpd no longer wants to stay running. The config is sound, and I can start it from the command-line with the "-d" flag and it serves up leases. But without the -d flag, it just silently dies... 2. Syslog contains this little snippet: dhcpd: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.5-RedHat Figured you'd want to know... ;) -I
