Video conferencing package: Ekiga or other?
by Lanny Marcus 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

My wife bought an inexpensive store brand web cam, so she can do video conferencing with people using Microsoft NetMeeting. Probably it is not supported in Linux and we will need to buy a supported web cam. I installed the Ekiga package. Is there something easier to configure and use or is Ekiga the best way to go?

Correctly displaying different charsets in Gnome-Terminal
by Niki Kovacs 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.0 with GNOME on almost all my desktops. My system is in french, so the default charset ($LANG) is fr_FR.UTF-8. I'm in charge of our public library database server, running Debian Sarge. It's mainly running a LAMP server with a few extra PHP modules, and it's hosting our library management software. Since the app refuses to work correctly with UTF-8, I set the general system locale on the server to fr_FR@euro (ISO-8859-1). When I administrate that server remotely from, say, a desktop running Slackware (which defaults to ISO, not Unicode), characters in the console get displayed correctly. For example, 'less /root/ChangeLog.txt' will display my ChangeLog file (with french special characters) correctly. But when I open an SSH session on my CentOS machine in a GNOME Terminal, the french special characters are all replaced by inverted question marks. And the same goes for the MySQL monitor: all the french characters in the entries (é, à, ç, ù, ...) are incorrectly displayed. Q: how can I display all that correctly from within my Gnome Terminal? cheers, Niki Kovacs

mount sftp or ftp+ssl drive on windows
by Bazy 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hello guys, I would like to mount a sftp or a ftp with ssl (vsftp with ssl) on to a Windows machine as an X: drive. So far I found SftpDrive witch costs only $39 :) and I don't want it. Do any of you have a positive experience with something like this? I need it cause I will install a very important software on that drive, witch doesn't need to be on the local disk of the windows machine. Thank you!

How to make fdisk recognize increased iSCSI LUN?
by Mindaugas 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

Hello, How to explain to fdisk that /dev/sda size changed? I increased LUN on storage, reloaded iscsi, did echo 1 > /sys/<something>/rescan. And I see in "dmesg" that kernel found new size of the LUN. But when I type "fdisk /dev/sda" it still shows old size. On /dev/sda1 sits LVM PV and I'd like to resize it instead of adding one more PV to volume group. CentOS 4.4 64bits. Thanks, Mindaugas

A good primer to User Administration?
by Eric B. 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

Hi, I've been running Linux as a workstation OS for years, and have been dealing with Windows networks and standalone Linux servers for a while now. However, the time has come for me to complete redo the server installation and am looking to move to a complete CentOS install base, with only Windows workstations. My question is the following. I've been searching online for a good reference to describe good practices when building a linux network, but haven't really been able to find much when it comes to best practices for user administration, ACLs, "optimal" (or recommended) file locations, etc. For example, I know I need an LDAP server, but not sure how that ties into system login, or how to use a Linux LDAP server as the basis for a primary domain controller (is it still called that given Windows AD world?), etc. Or even how to properly create group structures and ACLs that accurately reflect group ownership/etc. The octal permissions at the file level are only good enough for a single group; I need to give multiple groups different permissions on the same files, etc. I realize that there are a lot of questions that I need to research, but I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some advanced admin docs with best practices, etc. Most of the stuff I find relates on how to set up a basic standalone PC, without any reference to how to network together a bunch of servers running off central authentication, etc... Thanks for the advice! Eric
