tzdata, Greenwich zone: URGENT!
by Guy Boisvert 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hi! It appears that there have been some changes to tzdata recently. We run an application that needs the server to stay at GMT. Previously, we used the Casablanca timezone but now there seems to be a 1 hour difference to GMT. I checked the London zone and they seem to change time too. I tried to change the zone to GMT with system-config-date (i'm using command line remotely) but didn't find the Greenwich zone! Is there any way to fixed this ? [boig01@iode ~]$ date Tue Jun 3 14:10:21 WEST 2008 [boig01@iode ~]$ date -u Tue Jun 3 13:10:24 UTC 2008 Thanks in advance. Guy Boisvert, ing. IngTegration inc. P.S.: As i'm writing this, our application just started to desync !!! HOW CAN I ROLL BACK TZDATA ???? I Googled all over without finding any way to do it!

Mounting cifs shares by non-root users on CentOS 4.6
by James Pearson 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via /etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at: <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares> Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page (with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up): //winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=sushi,password=yummy 0 0 When as a non-root user I do: % mount /mnt/win mount error 1 = Operation not permitted Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) Running mount as root works fine, but I can not get it to work for non-root users. Any ideas? Thanks James Pearson

I am building a latest CentOS5 and every newest stuff is ready. All are in directory "/linux/CentOS/5-respin/os/x86_64". My OS is CentOS5 too. I want to add some other pictures during installation process, so anaconda adjustment is needed. When I run command "anaconda --test --method=http://192.168.0.3/linux/CentOS/5-respin/os/x86_64", a error message followed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 702, in ? for i in os.listdir("/mnt/runtime/usr/sbin"): OSError: [Errno 2] There is no such file or directory: '/mnt/runtime/usr/sbin' I mkdir -p /mnt/runtime/usr/sbin,than it works.Followed the steps and configured to kickstart page, clicked "Next" button.There is a message said: 09:59:09 CRITICAL: Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 95, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = "%s%s%s" % (chroot, File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1330, in doPreInstall if self.method.systemMounted (anaconda.id.fsset, anaconda.rootPath): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 180, in doPreInstall anaconda.backend.doPreInstall(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 201, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 124, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1018, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 243, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1045, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() IndexError: list index out of range Which option should I added?

Managing Eclipse Plugins
by Clint Dilks 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hi People, I just wondered if anyone had an suggestions on how to manage Eclipse plugins where RPMS don't exist for the particular plugin. In this case Aptana. Using the instructions here http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclip… I can install the plugin manually to /usr/share/eclipse so that its available to all users on the box. But I need to install this plugin on a high number of machines. I know I could install it on a single machine and then tar up /usr/share/eclipse and turn this into an rpm. But I think this will be asking for trouble in the long run. So I then did some research and found that I should be able to use eclipse update manager from the command line see http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.is… Thinking that perhaps I could use a script to do the install or use a script to create an RPM. But so far I can't get any of the Eclipse Update Manager commands to work. Asking on some eclipse Newsgroups has got a couple of cryptic responses. So I thought I would ask if anyone had ideas about the best way to achieve what I am after. Also if anyone uses the Eclipse Update Manager from the command line and can give me an example of a command line that works, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

HI, This is my first mail to this mailing list.I want to block external usb storage completly on my server running on centos 5 having confidiential data. For that i used udev and blocked the external usb storage by creating the udev rule mentioning any usb storage will get mounted to /dev/null so that users cant mount as well.
