Please help me rate vnc, rdesktop, and freenx
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

I have been dragging my feet on remote display, and have just gotten VNC going to have SOMETHING to move off the start line. But I need the 'best' for different situations, so I want to rate them. 1 to 3 where 1 is the 'best' for the catagory and 3 the loser. VNC RDESKTOP FREENX Server memory Server cpu client memory client cpu bandwidth thanks. I AM search the net for this information. So far have not found the magic query request :)

Setting read/write file access on cifs mounted file system
by Andrew Allen 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

I'm accessing a cifs mounted file system (on a MS Windows XP machine) from my CentOS 5 box. I can't edit/save files on the remote cifs system using OpenOffice etc, although I can copy/paste whole files OK (ie from CentOS to cifs). I've looked at the permissions on the mounted cifs and see that I have folder access "create and delete files" but not file access (the setting is blank). I've tried setting file access (as root) to read and write, but it doesn't allow me to do this - any suggestions as to how to resolve this please? Thanks, Andy

VNCsever not starting at boot
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

When I run system-config-services, it shows vncserver set to start at boot. in /etc/inittab I have init 3 vncserver does not start at boot. I log in on the console as root and service vncserver start and it starts with some warning messages about bad display name in "add" command, but I do not see where these are logged to copy them into this message. Once I start it from the console, I have trouble using the vnc client to access the server. I really need for the vncserver to start at boot, as I want it to run in a place with no monitor or keyboard....

Re: [CentOS] Where are my VIM colors?

Please check the changlelog for vim, RH backports patches, so on a RH system, vim install will not be the same as the officially released version of the same number. -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Fri Dec 07 13:04:13 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Where are my VIM colors?

Where are my VIM colors?
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 07 Dec '07

Maybe, it's stupid question but I've just installed CentOS5 and when I'm going to edit some of my conf files I see no colors as it did in old CentOS4x... I'm using: [root@domian:~]$ echo $TERM xterm Thanks in advance, Regards, Israel

And using ssh-agent (or Pageant with PuTTY on Windows) in conjunction with key forwarding, you can make it easy to script stuff that runs across multiple machines, thereby automating an entire server farm, if you want to. Unix admin maxim: if you have to do something more than once, write a script for it. See http://www.lesbell.com.au/Home.nsf/web/SSH+for+Server+Administration?OpenDo… We certainly don't want to revert to the "point-and-grunt" method of doing things found in the Windows world.

perl-libnet on CentOS 5?
by Amos Shapira 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hello, Is there any package on CentOS 5 which provides perl-libnet? Beartbeat 1 depends on it but so far I couldn't find a package. Also - is there a way to find which non-installed package contains files with matching names (a-la Debian's apt-file)? I know about "rpm -qf" but it only works on packages which are already installed. I saw some place mentioning a command called "pin" but I couldn't find it (sort of "chicken and egg"?). Thanks, --Amos

Cannot open /dev/mcelog
by Michael Mertel 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hi there, I'am running CentOS 5.1 on a Dual AMD Opteron QuadCore System, without major issues so far. But if I call mcelog I'am getting the message "Cannot open /dev/mcelog" ... because it's not there. I'am running 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen kernel, is this related in any form? I found something similar for the debian universe: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg11168 4.html Best Regards --Michael

CentOS Repo Questions (and Samba)
by Bit 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hello, I have two questions which are really CentOS repository related, but they primarily revolve around the Samba packages available. 1) Why is the s390 architecture version of Samba for CentOS 4 so much more up to date than the i386 architecture version? If you open these two links in a browser window... http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/updates/s390/RPMS/ and compare the available rpms, the s390 version of samba is 3.0.25b, while the i386 version of samba is only 3.0.10. 2) On a related note, why does it appear that a recent security update was not applied to the CentOS 4 i386 architecture version of samba? If you look at the top two patches listed on the Samba homepage here: http://us3.samba.org/samba/history/security.html You will see that they should apply to all versions of samba from 3.0.0 to 3.0.26a. So that would include the i386 CentOS 4 version of samba because it's 3.0.10. I am on the CentOS Announcements mailing list, and I still have not seen an announcement that this has been fixed in the i386 CentOS 4 version of samba. I have seen announcements for CentOS 3 i386, CentOS 3 x86_64, and even CentOS 4 s390. But not for CentOS 4 i386. What gives? Thanks, - Bit
