by Sobari Tanuwijaya 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Dear All, If I want make a lan users (with private IP) can access the internet just after passing the verification, what options do I have? What I want is: * If I user want to access the internet * He (must) run the browser * whatever the address he typed on the address bar, he will be brought to the verification location, which will be 'force' him to enter his username and password * if he passed the verification the internet access is available for him, but if not the internet keep unavailable for him. The method will be the for all users, either he use the wire or wireless connection. Will the iptables help me to solve this? How? Thanks in advance for the help - Tanu -

I installed the 0.2.5 version of libmtp, ran the hotplug.sh script (which has a bug in it, but it's only for "old" hotplug support), the player shows up in lsusb, BUT gnomad2 can't seem to find it. What am I missing? Thanks. mhr

WPA question
by fred smith 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

HI I admit up front that I know just enough about wireless networking to know that I don't know much at all about it. That said, I'm hoping someone can help me learn a little bit... Specifically, could a laptop running Centos 5.1 be expected to (be able to) connect to a wireless access point using WPA2 security settings? I don't know if WPA depends on hardware support, or if it'll work on any ole machine. Nor do I know what is involved in making it happen. Clues would be appreciated.

Mailing list replies and Evolution
by Brian Schueler 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

Hi, I wanted to reply messages (e.g. to the cross-build-env in centos-devel) but my replies get posted as a new thread. I'm using Emulution 2.8 and I think Evolution eats the in-reply-to information. Is there anyone who also uses Evolution (especially in conjunction with a Scalix imap server)? So please tell me the right settings to acting not so disturbingly. Thanks. Brian.

Two Instances of Apache; Primary IP / Secondary IP
by Al Sparks 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Tried the apache group, and no response. Thought I'd try here. I have set up a development environment so that it mimics a production environment. The production environment has a proxy server (apache 2.x) that sends requests onto another back-end apache server, and of course the proxy server serves up pages sent by the back-end. All that works fine. However, in my development environment, I thought that I'd set up a separate instance of apache on the same server, and add a secondary IP address on the same interface. The proxy apache instance listens on the secondary IP, and the back-end instance listens on the primary IP. When I send a client request to the proxy, I get a blank page. When I check the logs, the back-end shows requests coming from the primary IP, and not the secondary IP. My conclusion is that the proxy is sending its outbound traffic on the primary IP address, not the secondary IP address it's listening on. That in turn means that back-end is sending its pages back on the primary IP instead of the secondary, and that means the proxy instance isn't receiving answers to its request. I know that BIND can be configured to send requests on secondary IP addresses. Can Apache? Is there something I can do with routing tables that can help? === Al

Hi all, I want to use UP2DATE to alert me to updates that are available but still use yum to make the update. Up2date alerts me and i see what is available and then update with yum. Up2date icon still shows updates are available. How can I get up2date to know that the system has been updated? Thank you. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value!
