NetworkManager order
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

How do I control the order in the network manager? I have read the little doc on it. And I want wireless before wired, for example. If multiple wireless, I want to be at least asked, or to set my priority (like I could do in wpa_supplicant.conf).

ipw3945 wireless not working
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep ipw shows: well a bunch of lines about the card including one with the Radio Frequency Kill Swithc is On But the card does not show in Network Manager. I added to modprobe.conf: alias wifi0 ipw3945 and rebooted (and power cycled) and no change. ifconfig wifi0 up gets: device not found Oh, this notebook has a Broadcom ethernet adapter that is working just fine at bootup But I have to get the wireless working today! Well maybe by tomorrow. (off to IETF next week, and IEEE 802 the following). ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like the repo's for 4 and 5 are back up... but 3 is still broken. For those who want to know. I guess we might want to go easy on them though. John Hinton

slow SMTP-AUTH
by Ugo Bellavance 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi, I installed sendmail on a centos-4 openvz VM. I set up SMTP-AUTH and when I try to send mail using this server, there is a big delay in which my e-mail client (Mozilla Thunderbird) just hangs. The server, on the other hand, is idle at the same time. It does that no matter if I use no encryption, TLS, or SSL. When the client is 'hung' sendmail, on the server side haven't logged anything yet for this connection. Any idea? Regards, Ugo

Source keychain credentials in Perl?
by Sean Carolan 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Keychain is quite a useful tool for automating SSH logins without having to use password-less keys: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ Normally it is used like this to set the SSH_AUTH_SOC and SSH_AGENT_PID variables: source ~/.keychain/hostname-sh (This is what's in hostname-sh) SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXn47DUn/agent.16721; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=16722; export SSH_AGENT_PID; I would like these environment variables to be made available to a Perl script so that any "system" commands contained in the perl script will inherit them. How do you do this in Perl?

RESTORING THUNDERBIRD FILES
by Chris Geldenhuis 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi All, Last night I downloaded the latest security updates to my Centos 4 system, and rebooted afterwards. This morning I wanted to check my mail, but when I opened Thunderbird, it asked me to set up a mail account. I saved the contents of the previous .thunderbird file structure with tar and created a new mail account with the same details (name, isp, pasword, servers etc.) as the previous account. All of my folders and history had disappeared when the "new" account was created. I tried restoring from the tar archive but can still only access mails downloaded after recreating the account. Any ideas on how to regain access to my mail archives? TIA ChrisG

hi all, assume apache runs under apache user/group and i have a user/group name "weber". i use "weber" user to upload files via ftp/sftp. where should i place my include files so that no one can access except apache b/c these files contained user/pw for mysql. i usually place them in /var/www/html/includes, but people can access to this folder, so i'm thinking place them in /var/www/includes. what should the permission for /var/www/html and /var/www/inclues/? what group should these two directories belong to??? thanks, t. hiep

environment variables in kickstart
by Jerry Geis 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart. Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section? Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above http://serverip/ks.cfg Thanks, Jerry
