Running shell scripts from external media

OS=CentOS-5.2 media=Kingston 512Mb usb key Problem: As 'root', when running a script resident on the external drive mounted at /media/disk I receive the following error: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied The meduia is a 512Mb USB key formatted as ext2/3 # ll -rwx------ 1 root root 28 Jul 2 17:30 hello.sh # cat hello.sh #!/bin/sh echo Hello World! # which sh /bin/sh I believe that this can be resolved by an entry in /etc/fstab but I cannot determine what entry to make. # cat /etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol04 /var/log ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol05 /var/www ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 >From the logs I gather that the device is sda1 Jul 2 16:42:45 inet02 kernel: SCSI device sda: 1001472 512-byte hdwr sectors (513 MB) Jul 2 16:42:45 inet02 kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Jul 2 16:42:45 inet02 kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Jul 2 16:42:45 inet02 kernel: sda: sda1 Jul 2 16:42:45 inet02 kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda Jul 2 16:42:45 inet02 kernel: EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended Jul 2 16:42:46 inet02 hald: mounted /dev/sda1 on behalf of uid 500 I deduce from the various bits of information that I have gleaned thatthe proper entry in fstab should be something like: /dev/sda1 /disk auto defaults,user,exec 0 0 However, this is an automounted, removable media. How do I do enable execute for this key and retain the auto mount capability? What impact will this have on other usb keys? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Hi, someone successfully using mock 0.9.{7,10} on Centos 5.2 (64bit)? I'm trying to use 0.9.10, but I'm not able to produce right cfg files for centos builds, cfg files for fedora work fine. Thanks, David

INIT 5 and system is gone
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I had been running a system on Centos 5.1 at INIT 3. I did the upgrade to Centos 5.2 with the aid of the powernowk8 patch. Previously I would VNC into the unit when I needed to do admin stuff with a GUI. Well I noticed that I was NOT getting GNOME via VNC since the upgrade (worked before just fine with 5.1). So I tried an INIT 5 from the command line (always worked before), but the system seemed to hang. Video was off. I rebooted, went to INITTAB and changed init to 5 and rebooted. Probably a tragic mistake. Now on boot, right after UDEV gets an OK, the screen goes blank and the drive stops turning. I tried booting with the 5.1 kernel, and same behaviour with the system blanking out and all load activity stopping after UDEV loads. So I am quite stuck at this point. Is there an option that I can edit into the kernel command at boot time to init in 3? And then what do I try? If I have to reload Centos, I have to pull the drive, put it into another system, install there, etc. Not my idea of a fun day....

by Marc Grimme 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hello, we are very happy to announce the availability of the last and final official release candidate of the com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD (RC4). The com.oonics open shared root cluster installation DVD allows the installation of a single node open shared root cluster with the use of anaconda, the well known installation software provided by Red Hat. After the installation, the open shared root cluster can be easily scaled up to more than hundred cluster nodes. You can now download the open shared root installation DVD from www.open-sharedroot.org. We are very interested in feetback. Please either file a bug or feature or post to the mailinglist (see www.open-sharedroot.org) More details can be found here: http://open-sharedroot.org/news-archive/availability-of-rc4-of-the-com-ooni… Note: The download isos are based on Centos5.1! RHEL5.1 versions will be provided on request. Have fun testing it and let us know the what you're thinking. -- Gruss / Regards, Marc Grimme http://www.atix.de/ http://www.open-sharedroot.org/

laptop wireless--orinoco_cs, can it do WPA?
by fred smith 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi! I'm messing about with an old Toshiba Tecra laptop. i've got wireless working well using NetworkManager and WEP. But I'm interested in finding out if it is possible to get WPA/TKIP or other WPA variants to work with that driver. According to dmesg, boottime diagnostics include: eth0: Hardware identity 0005:0004:0005:0000 eth0: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:000a eth0: firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 8.10 ... eth0 Station name "HERMES I" I've been googling a lot and most of what I see seems to indicate that there's no WPA support in that hardware, but that it may be possible to do WPA anyway if the drivers have the right set of patches. But so far I've not found anything definitive, especially not something that goes back far enough to be in a modestly old product like Centos 5.2. but anyway, if anyone knows anything about this I'd appreciate some hints. Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!

In your problem above, you can use unetbootin (google it) and you can make bootable USB with Linux (Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, etc.) inside. There is available both for windows and linux platform.

Re: [CentOS] PPPoE setup

Here are his 'instructions' to me: "Basically you start pppoe, I give you the username and password for it, and then I set the router to passthrough modem mode, and you initiate the PPPoE session directly with my LNS back here. You'll get a dynamic IP on the dsl side (which is normal) and then you just set up your static routes in the linux box as normal. My LNS automatically routes your traffic to the IP it randomly assigns to the DSL link. Once we verify that IP6CP is up, I can assign you a /48 and you can rock out with that however you want." Currently I have a /26 IPv4 assignment which will continue. So do I change the alias in modprobe.conf from eth0 to ppp0? Or is just listing interface eth0 in hte pppoe.conf file enough? From my ISP's comments, the pppoe negotiation will provide the address for eth0. I already know my /26 allocation. I need to set up static routes on eth1 for these IPv4 addresses (different subnets to different internal firewalls). What tool do I use to set these? And then I get to work with IPv6! Pointers to Howtos are greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Robert, No, do not modify the alias for eth0, leave modprobe.conf unchanged. How did you configured the pppoe link? I have been using the adsl-setup command from the rp-pppoe package to configure the dsl link, it generates the ifcfg-ppp0 file on /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts with the values needed to bring the link up such as the username, network interface to use, etc. Also the adsl-setup command stores the username and password on the chap-secrets and pap-secrets files under /etc/ppp After the dsl is configured you can bring it up /down with the adsl-start adsl-stop commands. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!
