Samba Upgrade on Centos 3
by Ben Mohilef 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

After today's samba update, Centos 3 boxes can not use samba to communicate with each other, although Windows and the Centos 3 boxes see each other correctly as do RHEL5 and the Centos3 boxes. The du command works well, but ls, cp, cat ,etc produces the error: PANIC: push_ascii - dest_len == -1 in the server log and smb_trans2_request: result=-5, setting invalid in the client. A similar (but more serious) set of problems was reported in Ubuntu early this morning after their update. Is any one else experiencing this problem with samba and Centos 3 after the update? regards, benm

Generating CMDB - Recommendations
by Tom Brown 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi We use Remedy as our tool to help us with ITIL but we have a LOT of boxes ~4000 and that is growing all the time. I am looking at ways for us to be able to update the CMDB within remedy with little effort from us. I can get our DC team to pretty much touch a file on the OS with the box location but does any one have any 'neat' tricks that can take various pieces of info and then spit them out into say a csv that we could then use to import into Remedy? I know this is a vague request but i wonder how others with a few boxes handle their CMDB's ? thanks

Dual boot box: WinXP & CentOS 5: Impossible to restore WinXP?
by Lanny Marcus 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive activity for a long, long time. My impression is that Microsoft does not want this to work on dual boot boxes. I've tried this on dual boot boxes with Windows ME and Windows 98 SE and it works fine. Dell sent me two (2) new WinXP CDs (one in English and one in Spanish) but the problem apparently is not that I have a defective WinXP CD from Dell. Has anyone been able to restore WinXP on a dual boot box? TIA! -- Lanny --------------------------------------------------------- Over 800 Magazine titles up to 85% off http://lowcostmagazines.com/

Can not mount CIFS-Share on bootup (SELinux Problem)
by Jan Falkenhagen 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hello everybody, i am trying to mount a CIFS-share while booting, providing a credential file for the share (/root/smbpassword) - without success (with SElinux turned on). The share will get mounted just fine when typing mount -a on the shell. And it also will get mounted automatically during boot when SELinux ist turned off. I have searched the documentation, but i have no clue which SElinux context is the right one for the credentialfile and where i have to put it. sincerely -- Jan Falkenhagen

You don't know what else was changed (e.g., registry entries, etc.) that won't keep the system from booting but could cause other problems. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

After I get WinXP running again, I will make and test a BartPE CD, ASAP! I appreciate you telling me about BartPE! We don't use Windows much and I'd never run into a problem with XP like this before.

Launching X-Windows at different runelvels
by carlopmart 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi all, I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows at runlevel by default. I have modified /etc/inittab to accomplish this: x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon But this returns errors every time that start and stop system ... Which is the correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
