How to delete files with specical characters in the name?
by Eric B. 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi, I've got an odd situation here. Somehow, I find myself with two files that start with the - character. [eric@apollo mysql]$ ls -l total 93348 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 9273344 Nov 13 19:03 -N=2007-11-08 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 38879232 Nov 13 19:02 --newer=2007-11-08 Don't ask how they were created; something went wrong with a script at some point. My problem is that I am trying to delete them, but can't figure out how to delete these files. Everything I try, I get the same msg: [eric@apollo mysql]$ rm '-N=2007-11-08' rm: invalid option -- N Try `rm --help' for more information. I have tried single quotes, double quotes, escaping it with a \ and still get the same error. Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks! Eric

Random procmail filter failures.
by Steven Haigh 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi all, I'm seeing a random issue with my procmail filters (only on email from this list) where once every so often, it will fail to filter a message. I am sorting by the to/cc email address, and this rule works on 99.9% of posts, however every now and again, I see something like this happen: From centos-bounces(a)centos.org Sat Jan 5 01:57:28 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] What's up with the mailing list spam?

mysql versions
by Jure Pečar 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hello, I just noticed that centosplus for c4 provides mysql 5.0.54, while centosplus for c5 does not provide that recent version and so c5 is stuck with mysql 5.0.22. Any particular reason for that or it is just that no one has yet compiled & packaged 5.0.5x for c5? Also, where does 5.0.54 comes from? MySQL site is only at 5.0.45 rpm and 5.0.51 source ... -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org

Changing from text bootup to graphical one
by Anne Wilson 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

When I installed CentOS it was with an old monitor, and it turned out that I could not get system-config-display to set it up correctly. I bought a new monitor and now all is well, except... It still boots to a text login, and I have to startx. What do I need to edit to change this? Thanks Anne

Can I remove X11 while keeping LSB compatibility?
by Richard Cooper 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi all, I have a Cent OS 5 box with a fairly full install which I'm trying to strip down. Since this machine will be running headless I would like to remove all of the X11 stuff which is installed on it. However, it seems that the "redhat-lsb" package, which I would like to keep, is dependent on X11 - redhat-lsb depends on /usr/bin/lpr - /usr/bin/lpr is provided by cups - cups depends on paps - paps depends on pango - pango depends on libX11 Is it possible to safely break this dependancy chain so that I keep redhat-lsb while removing X11? I'm trying to keep all of my package management restricted to 'yum' and I certainly want to avoid 'rpm -- nodeps'. Looking at /etc/alternatives/ makes me think there must be another package besides cups which provides /usr/bin/lpr but I can't seem to find it. I won't be doing any printing from this machine so I would even be happy with a dummy /usr/bin/lpr which simply throws away anything it receives. Thanks, - Richard

Problems logging out....
by MHR 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

I just started having some trouble logging out from my CentOS 5.1 system. For some reason, when I try to log out, the log out program hangs. This happens whether I click on the "Log Out" button or wait for the timeout. When I looked, I somehow (I forget how) found out that the clock applet would not go away. However, when I separately killed the clock applet, the session still refused to log out. The only way I could get the session logged out was to kill the gnome-session process (works like a charm). I thought this might be related to the new xorg server update problem from upstream, but the new one doesn't fix it (not surprised). Any clues, or is this a gnome-only issue? Thanks. mhr

Definitive HowTo for CENTOS 5 Winbind - Samba - Active Directory Integration
by Christopher Butler 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi all, I have been out of the linux / unix loop for a good three years now, and a lot has changed.. I have a windows 2003 server on my home office lan as my domain controller. I would like to know if there is a good how-to that applies to Centos5 to achieve the following: Joining the centos machine to the AD domain (I believe I have done this already) Sharing files from it using the AD user object credentials (don't know how to do this yet, using system-config-samba-1.2.39, it does not show the domain users yet) Allowing login to centos using ssh or NX client (got the NX client working for root user and a local tesuser) using the <DOMAIN>\<windowsusername> credentials Correct configuration of the pam related files etc so that centos automatically creates and populates a user home directory for any first time logins I found the following article: http://www.nixadmins.net/modules.php?page=0%2C0 <http://www.nixadmins.net/modules.php?page=0%2C0&name=News&file=article&sid= 14> &name=News&file=article&sid=14 But I am a bit wary of editing files that I don't fully understand yet. I installed CENTOS5 with just about every option enabled, all the services, so they should all be there already, I just need to configure them without breaking anything.
