Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility - mini-pci wireless card 1390
by Andrew Allen 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Is there any way I can find a driver and/or get the above wireless card working in CentOS 5 on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1501). I've installed ipw2200 from RPMForge, but it now appears that this won't work because the card is not an Intel PRO/Wireless card. Dell seem to support only MS Windows Vista now so I don't think there's much chance of getting a driver from them - so am I on a fruitless 'crusade' in trying to get wifi in CentOS 5 in this case? Any helpful advice much appreciated please? Thanks, Andy

Conexant fax/modem not faxing with sendfax
by MHR 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

I finally picked up a "real" modem (not a winmodem) and put it in my machine. I pulled down the hsfmodem driver from the source, got a license and installed the driver at full power. If I use wvdial, I can get out through the modem, so I know that works. However, sendfax is rejecting the fax capability (from /var/log/sendfax.log): 11/30 00:31:52 sendfax: interim release 1.1.33-Apr10 11/30 00:31:52 sendfax.c compiled at Jan 7 2007, 07:01:40 11/30 00:31:52 sending fax to 19496328403 11/30 00:31:52 checking WebOwnSig.ps 11/30 00:31:52 makelock(modem) called 11/30 00:31:52 do_makelock: lock='/var/lock/LCK..modem' 11/30 00:31:52 lock made 11/30 00:31:52 tss: set speed to 38400 (017) 11/30 00:31:52 tio_set_flow_control( HARD ) 11/30 00:31:52 dem fax_open_device succeeded, modem -> 4 11/30 00:31:52 dem reading specific data for port 'modem' 11/30 00:31:52 dem reading /etc/mgetty+sendfax/sendfax.config... 11/30 00:31:52 dem conf lib: read: 'verbose y' 11/30 00:31:52 dem conf lib: read: 'debug 5' 11/30 00:31:52 dem conf lib: read: 'fax-devices modem' 11/30 00:31:52 dem conf lib: read: 'fax-id 49 115 xxxxxxxx' 11/30 00:31:52 dem conf lib: read: 'max-tries 3' 11/30 00:31:52 dem conf lib: read: 'max-tries-continue y' 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'fax-devices', type=1, flags=4, data=(ignored) 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'modem-init', type=1, flags=0, data=(empty) 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'modem-handshake', type=1, flags=0, data=(empty) 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'modem-type', type=1, flags=1, data=auto 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'modem-quirks', type=0, flags=0, data=(empty) 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'fax-send-flow', type=4, flags=1, data=7 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'fax-rec-flow', type=4, flags=1, data=7 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'max-tries', type=0, flags=3, data=3 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'max-tries-continue', type=3, flags=3, data=TRUE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'speed', type=0, flags=1, data=38400 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'switchbd', type=0, flags=1, data=0 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'open-delay', type=0, flags=0, data=(empty) 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'ignore-carrier', type=3, flags=1, data=TRUE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'dial-prefix', type=1, flags=1, data=ATD 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'fax-id', type=1, flags=3, data=49 115 xxxxxxxx 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'poll-dir', type=1, flags=1, data=. 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'normal-res', type=3, flags=1, data=FALSE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'fax-min-speed', type=0, flags=1, data=0 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'fax-max-speed', type=0, flags=1, data=14400 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'debug', type=0, flags=3, data=5 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'verbose', type=3, flags=3, data=TRUE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: '', type=3, flags=1, data=FALSE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: 'page-header', type=1, flags=0, data=(empty) 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: '', type=3, flags=1, data=FALSE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: '', type=3, flags=1, data=FALSE 11/30 00:31:52 dem key: '', type=1, flags=1, data= 11/30 00:31:52 dem tss: set speed to 38400 (017) 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'ATV1Q0' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'ATV1Q0' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'OK' -> OK 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'ATI' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_gis: string 1: '56000' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_identify: string '56000' 11/30 00:31:52 dem Generic Rockwell modem (56000) 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'ATI3' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_gis: string 1: 'hsfmodem-7.68.00.04x86_64full' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'ATI4' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_gis: string 1: 'Conexant HSF softmodem' 11/30 00:31:52 dem additional info: 'Conexant HSF softmodem' 11/30 00:31:52 dem modem quirks: 0004 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'AT+FCLASS=2' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'AT+FCLASS=2' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'ERROR' -> ERROR 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'AT+FCLASS=2.0' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'AT+FCLASS=2.0' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'ERROR' -> ERROR 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_send: 'AT+FCLASS=2' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'AT+FCLASS=2' 11/30 00:31:52 dem mdm_command: string 'ERROR' -> ERROR 11/30 00:31:52 ##### failed: no class 2/2.0 fax modem, dev=modem 11/30 00:31:52 dem fax_send: 'AT+FCLASS=0' 11/30 00:31:53 dem removing lock file Is there a newer version of sendfax I should get?

There are a few such programs floating around. Do you confine yourself to CentOS packages? denyhosts is apparently a good one. Personally, I don't use any - once I moved to a non-standard port I've never seen anyone knocking on my SSH server's door. --Amos

By any chances, have you ran 'ps ax' from root and looked to see what does not look like it should be there?? IF you are willing, paste your 'ps' output for us to help you find the program that is running and sending out the emails. also review your sendmail rule set. Next, to help lock down your server a little more make sure you have set a password on your VNC. I had and Italian 17 year old poking around one of my Amateur Radio boxes via VNC, simply cause I forgot to set a vnc password, so it was wide open like a windoz server box without a login screen, you know, the good old "I AM OPEN FOR YOUR PLEASURES..." Also change your sshd, the port it is on, and do a rule set that only allows a specific ip to access it. I think I am correct saying you can do that as well with VNC. The other option would be to stop the service all together IF your not needing it. Good Luck. Evans F.

How to delete mails in the mailq in ONE DAY -- POSTFIX
by Indunil Jayasooriya 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

I am runnig posfix on Centos 4.4 as a Mailgateway. It only accepts mails for domains and then forwards mails to Lotus domino Server. All clients sends outgoing mails to that Lotus domino Server. Then , That Lotus Domino Server sends mails to Postfix mailgateway. This postfix mailgateway sends mails to all the destinations. But, This Postfix mailgateway has about 150 messages in the mailq. Some are unwanted mails. I think they keep trying until 5 days old. I want decrease it to ONE DAY. In Sendmail, this can be done by editing sendmail.mc as below. (`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `5d')dnl changing above line to below line (`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `1d')dnl How Can I do it in Postfix? ANY IDEA? O Timeout.queuereturn=5d -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

centos remote installation
by Centos 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello I am installing Centos from remote location and have no problem if I upgrade Centos, however if I will have problem if I go through fresh installation, because once the fresh installation finished,at next reboot Centos will ask to define another user name with its pasword and that will be the time I will not see the console messages, so I should automate that part. Is there any easy way to do this or I should go all the way through Kickstart procedures ? Thanks

special tricks for developers box on centos 5

I was just wondering if there are special tricks people do that compile A LOT on centos? Do RAM disks help or something else I dont about that minimizes your compile time? I presently have and AMD x2 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Just curious if I can reduce any more time out of my compiles. Jerry

Kernel panic - where to go from here?
by Mike 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

CentOS 5 has been running continuously since 9/21 on my "do everything" home server (with the exception of a kernel update). It's a fairly old Athlon machine that serves as a firewall and various servers (dovecot, samba, NFS, dhcp, OpenVPN, etc). I connected via OpenVPN about a week ago and discovered I get a kernel panic. I've since found that this is very repeatable and happens only after being connected via OpenVPN for about 4 hours or so. I was able to manually copy the stuff on the console after the panic (see below). I googled "unable to handle kernel paging request" and didn't really find anything useful (to me). I've tried both kernel version 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 and 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 as well as OpenVPN versions 2.1_rc4-1 and 2.0.9 all with the same results. Not sure where to go with this(?). Should I post this on a kernel mailing list? Or somewhere else?
