recompiled mod_perl insists on old perl dependency
by Amos Shapira 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hello, In order to overcome a known performance bug in perl-5.8.8-10 in centos 5 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836) I downloaded the perl package from fedora 8 (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SR…) and mod_perl (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SR…) and compiled them on an x86_64 machine following instructions from http://sial.org/howto/rpm/. The perl-5.8.8-30 installed fine but when I try to install the new mod_perl it insists on installing perl-4:5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: mod_perl x86_64 2.0.3-14 threatmetrix 5.5 M Installing for dependencies: perl i386 4:5.8.8-10.el5_0.2 updates 12 M Going ahead with this complains about conflicts with the installed perl-5.8.8-30. What can I do to fix this? Is anyone here is aware of another way to get a fixed version of perl for CentOS 5? Thanks, --Amos

Question relating to yumdownloader
by Clint Dilks 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi I use yumdownloader occasionally to grab RPMS. One thing that confuses me though is the --source option. I thought this would mean rather than getting the RPM that it would retrieve the source RPM. But it appears this isn't the case. Can anyone explain what this option actually relates to ?

Bill: FWIW, I use Evolution daily on CentOS 5 for IMAP email. Recently, I have been having problems, trying to close Evolution. Yesterday I updated Evolution, via the update icon in the lower right hand corner of the GNOME desktop for "pup" the Package Updater. So far, I am not having the problem closing Evolution. :-) I did *not* update the evolution-data-server package yesterday. Good luck on a quick and easy solution! Lanny

KOrganizer problems
by Anne Wilson 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

My file/print/mail server is CentOS. My laptop is Mandriva 2008.0. I have smb shortcuts loaded by fstab to give instant access to my home directory and a data directory on the server. All was working well, after some initial problems with firewall and selinux, until yesterday. After finding from the logs that someone was trying to get into my imap server I decided that, although they hadn't succeeded, my personal login was too weak, and I should harden it. I changed the password on the server, as user and as smbuser, then on the laptop. My fstab mounts work perfectly with the adjusted auth.servername.anne file, and I can read my mail, but I use a diary on the server, and I'm having problems there. The reminder daemon that should start when kde initialises tells me that it can't access the diary. It's not clear exactly what is happening to korganizer within kontact. I can see the diary, and reloading it doesn't blank it out, yet I get the message that access is denied. Attempting to run a test entry brings the denial message, but the entry shows, even after a shutdown and reload. The reminder, however, doesn't happen. I should also say that since I changed the password on my laptop's kdewallet, that does not show in the taskbar. If I enter 'kdewalletmanager' in a konsole it shows in the taskbar, and indicates that the wallet is open. I'm not sure how this is connected with the korganizer problem, but I feel it must be. I have looked through every log file I can, and can't see any reason for this. selinuxtroubleshooter doesn't show me anything relevant. I'm completely stuck for where to look next. All suggestions gratefully received. Anne

CentOS 5 Evolution Update errors.
by William L. Maltby 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Folks, Evo update on my 4.x worked just fine. 5.0 generated a bunch of parsing errors preceded and followed by a couple of I/O errors that appear related to an unavailable URL. I first figured corruption on my node, so I yum erased evo, its - connector and -webcal units. The data-server removal looked as if it might remove half my Gnome desktop, so I left it in place. Then I did a selective reinstall. The edited results follow. I believe the very first error is the cause. I erased and installed multiple times, even trying the connector plugin figuring maybe it was needed to download files from a website. No-go. I was able to wget the docbook w/NP. Any suggestions? Not critical, I only run evo on my 4.X. But I've begun a slow and careful migration to my 5.0, letting it serve as back up for now.

Authenticate SCP against a mysql database?
by Christopher Thorjussen 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi, I'm using a mysql backend for authenticating vsftpd users on centos5. Is it possible to have scp connections to this server also authenticate against the same database? My guess is I can use pam in a way or two, but I'm not very familiar with messing around with pam, so I was hoping somebody had some info/solution. I would also like to make sure it's only scp connections allowed for these users stored in the db, while system user can login with ssh as well. /Christopher

Re: [CentOS] Colors in vi for user root

Anyway, just use the vim command > explicitly or add alias vi=vim to your ~root/.profile The static linking part is no longer true: [root@bend ~]# ls -l /bin/vi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 628808 May 9 2007 /bin/vi [root@bend ~]# file /bin/vi /bin/vi: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped I would guess that any shared libraries used by vi are in or under /lib. That way the required libraries should also always be available. Just for comparison, the executable for vim is quite a bit bigger: [root@bend ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/vim -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2817056 May 9 2007 /usr/bin/vim This is just another example of the upstream distribution being very conservative for possibly several different reasons. There are also a number of ways to override their choice. I just wanted to point out that the change from vim to vi for root was intentional. Someone changing it back should understand the implications of what they're doing. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. -- Ambrose Bierce

SSH, SCP connections to remote MySQL Database using OpenOffice Possible?
by Therese Trudeau 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I'm trying to find a way to get remote connections from my Linux Desktop machine to a remote Linux box which is hosting a MySQL database, via SSH port 22, and then once connection is established, log in to the database port 3306 and have either an SSH and or SCP connection established so I can securely do edits and queries. I am able to connect this way from my Windows machine to remote server using Navicat. Both the windows desktop and the server are set up this way. I just can't figure out how to get my Linux desktop and the remote Linux box to talk this way. I can connect to the remote database via Linux desktop, it's just via an un encrypted connection through port 3306. For obvious reasons I don't want to do it that way. I tried connecting to the remote database in the same way I use Konqueror for FTP over SSH, i.e., by connecting via the fish protocol over port 22 -by enterning into OpenOffice Base for the server URL: fish://user@myservername.com:22 and the error that comes up in either OO Base or Calc said I must specify a port number after the : , which I did, and it still won't connect that way. My question is, is OpenOffice Calc able to connect to remote databases via SSH and or SCP? If so, do I need a plug in for that, or need to configure calc to do that in some way? How would I do this, or which plug in(s) do I need? _________________________________________________________________ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008
