Samba issue
by William Warren 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

for some reason I cannot to my samba server on centos 4.5 with any other linux distro. I have tried pclinuxos, kubuntu, fc7. I have entered the correct credentials in the correct case to no avail. What's funny is my winders machines can connect just fine. Any ideas? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

by Indunil Jayasooriya 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hi All, I am looking for an open source email client package that is equivalent to MS OUTLOOK. Clients are running Windows XP and Vista and Linux. So the package should be able to run on both Windows And Linux. Mail server is running Ms Exchange. So this client pkg should be able to access Global Address book of the MS Exchange Server just as MS OUTLOOK. What about evolution ? Pls see, below URL http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/ Can it do fulfil my requirements? or do you know any other pkg that can fulfil these requirements? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

file or website upload scripts / programs and security protection
by Robert - elists 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Holiday Greetings! Ummmmm scenario is centos 4.5 standard apache webserver I have a client that is really struggling with website file upload concepts. Ive been googling for some scripts or other programs that allow uploading of files to proper directory(ies) after authentication I am definitely concerned about security issues of course. I have never implemented this before because everyone I have ever given a web address, a login, a password, and directory structure understood what was going on.... till now... Would someone consider and please share url's or other info about what solutions they have implemented for the website upload technically challenged? We do not mind paying if we need to get something that also helps create excellent yet basic websites on the fly too. Thanks! - rh

Announcing the CentOS on Laptops initiative
by Dag Wieers 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi all, I would like to announce a CentOS on Laptops initiative. The aim is to allow everybody in the community (and on this mailinglist) to document their own experience with CentOS on their laptop (on the CentOS wiki). The goal of this initiative consists of 2 parts: - help and convince people with their own CentOS on laptop installation - promote CentOS on other Laptop websites and fill in this existing void I hope that everyone think back about the experience on their existing laptop and add it to the wiki, and document everything when doing future laptop installations. <insert your favorite motivational quote here ! :)> -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

NFS V3 errors after updates applied
by Dan Goetzman 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

I just applied the latest updates to my CentOS 5 cluster; kernel is now 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 Sun NFS clients now show error messages when long listing files; > # ls -l dantest > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > NFS getacl failed for server centos-cluster: error 9 (RPC: > Program/version mismatch) > total 32 > drwxrwxrwx 1 dan users 0 Aug 22 10:36 dantest It works, there just seems to be a problem with the GETACL NFS call on the updated kernel. Backing filesystems are GFS. Booting back to the old kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5) and the problem is gone. Anyone else seen this problem? -Dan

Ethernet over USB
by Krautkramer, John 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi, Is it true you can run Ethernet over USB between 2 machines? I have 2 machines running CentOS 5.0 and a simple type A male to A male cable. I don't see in the network setup gui how to set it up. Is there a particular device I should select? What I see relating to USB is: KL4USB101 USB Ethernet driver Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver USB CDC Ethernet driver These appear to be some kind of hardware other than a cable. lsmod gives me "usbnet 20041 0" so I believe this means the kernel module is there. Any ideas? Thanks, John
