How to enable SHA1 passwords after migration from OpenSUSE?
by Papalagi Pakeha 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi there! I have recently migrated my old server from OpenSUSE 10.0 to CentOS 5. Almost everything works great, except for one thing - user passwords. In the old system they were in a form: root:$2a$05$9V.P3/KV2fd0r/O8hs0gNueaidF35edj3DL6skb32qZJNpvwVHiUO:12183:0:99999:7::: and that format doesn't seem to be understood by CentOS. When I change the password I get something like: root:$1$Z0HGYkIb$fbkW0gR6c.k7rENE1NlzE0:14055:0:99999:7::: Note the encrypted password begins with $2a$... in OpenSUSE while in CentOS it starts with $1$... CentOS passwords (MD5?) are understood by OpenSUSE but OpenSUSE passwords (SHA1?) are not understood by CentOS. Is there any way around that? Perhaps get some PAM module from OpenSUSE? Or just some setting somewhere? Having to reset passwords for all my users would be a royal pain. Thanks! PaPa

Headphone on a Acer Extensa 5220
by Olaf Mueller 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hello, is there any chance to get a headphone working under a acer extensa 5220 with CenOS 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5) installed? Maybe by centosplus or self compiled alsa sources? # rpm -qa | grep alsa alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.rc4.el5 alsa-utils-1.0.14-3.rc4.el5 The sound works great on this notebook and the hardware is detected as 'Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller snd-hda-intel'. But the only settings alsamixer shows are 'Master' and 'PCM', nothing about Headphone or Microphone. Microphone is not so important, but a working headphone on the notebook would be great. Any ideas to get it working? Thank you very much! regards Olaf

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.i386 update failure
by William L. Maltby 27 Jun '08

Hmmm, I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response, abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is related. I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It was from the official java site. I don't know if this is related. Here's what I know. Well, I think I know this. /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers seems to be missing from jpackage-utils.noarch.

Starting a Local CentOS Mirror
by Art Age Software 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi all, I would like to set up a local CentOS mirror, as suggested by others on this list, to cut down on bandwidth usage, etc. I have read a couple HowTos and it seems pretty straight-forward, but I do have some questions. 1) How should I change my entries in /etc/yum.repos.d? Specifically, should I replace CentOS-Base.repo with my own .repo file? 2) Is there a way to configure yum to prefer the local repo, but use an external mirror if the local is not available? 3) What is the best practice around keeping the local repo updated? A once-a-day cron job to rsync from an external mirror? If this is the correct approach, is there a way to rsync from a "mirror list" so that updates won't fail if a particular mirror happens to be unavailable when the cron job runs? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. I want to be sure I get this right!

Can you install from local updates?
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I normally use http install to access my /centos/ver/os/i386 repo. Is there someway to get the install to include the updates in /centos/ver/updates? It seems such a waste to install rpms that you know are already fixed....

Centos 5.2 kickstart install from USB Pen failed
by Pierre Reinbold 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I usually use DHCP to install CentOS boxes via kickstart. For a first install, I boot the machine on the CentOS first CD, I type "linux ks" at the prompt and the rest is automatic. I have already use USB pen to boot some servers that don't have CD-ROM drive and all went well with the diskboot.img of CentOS 5.1. But the diskboot.img of CentOS 5.2 seems to be unable to deal with the kickstart parameters passed by DHCP. The embedded DHCP client does not get the "filename" option value and seems to have problems with the DNS server (even if the "next-server" is correctly resolved). The installer fails at the moment of getting the kickstart file and asks me to enter a alternate location. There is a warning about the DNS server on the console, and it shows that the "filename" is set to "(null)". All went well with the 5.1 diskboot.img, with the same hardware, same DHCP configuration, and the same kickstart configuration (but with a 5.1 install tree). Anyone having the same problem ? Did I miss something ? Many thanks, 3.14r -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIZLgD9D25xYOIvisRAp+RAKDiFWC1ExKv9Z7z1NQBsXM4Y7W97wCgwtGp n+nhMZUi1WHMXuQhg330ttY= =uzD+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

When I execute "yum upgrade" on both CentOS 5.0 Xen DomU and CentTOS 5.1 Xen Dom0 I get: --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: drbd >= 8.0.12 is needed by package kmod-drbd-xen "yum list drbd\*" gives: Available Packages drbd.x86_64 8.0.12-1.el5.centos extras drbd82.x86_64 8.2.6-1.el5.centos extras I searched for any mention ot drbd in my yum configuration (in case it was excluded) but didn't find anything. What could be the cause? Thanks, --Amos
