Re: Samba Upgrade on Centos 3
by Ben Mohilef 17 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 Upon further investigation, samba can only no longer use wildcards of any type or do things like 'ls' . Doing ls /mnt/SHARE/<complete file name> works fine whereas ls /mnt/SHARE/<partial>* gives an invalid result. I wonder if there is still is a compilation option (there was a few years ago) to enable/disable wildcards which is either turned off or has been disabled? If one knows the complete file name on a Centos 3 share then one has no problem. Windows boxes (and Linux boxes other than Centos 3) work fine and that is the way most admins use samba so this is hardly a crisis. ( Unlike the Ubuntu people who report that nmbd is segfaulting on their boxes and apparently have a different problem). regards, benm

Problem running a setuid Perl script on CentOS 4.5
by Alfred von Campe 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

I'm trying to create a setuid Perl script (yes, I am aware about the security implications), but am getting this error: % cat testsetuid.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -UT print "My real user id is $< but my effective user id is $>\n"; exit(0); % ./testsetuid.pl Can't do setuid (cannot exec sperl) I am using the stock Perl that came with CentOS 4.5. The problem I am trying to solve is to run a software build as a particular user. We want any user to be able to submit a build job that runs on the build machine as the designated build user. If there is a better way to do this, I'm open to suggestions. Alfred

by Christian Nygaard 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

How to you change the BIOS time settings in a Xen HVM fully virtualized guest virtual machine? Right now the BIOS time setting seems to be 3007 as year instead of 2007 which leads to funny problems after the os boots. Cheers, Chris

LSI 1068e (Super Micro OEM) - kernel update problem
by Michael Mertel 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hello, I'am using a LSI 1068e OEM version from Super Micro (see lspci). I was able to install a plain CentOS5 with the binary drivers I got from Super Micro. 06:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Unknown device 0059 (rev 04) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Unknown device a180 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 I/O ports at e000 [size=256] Memory at febfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at febe0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at fe800000 [disabled] [size=2M] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [68] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Capabilities: [98] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [b0] MSI-X: Enable- Mask- TabSize=1 But if I try to load the XEN kernel or a newer kernel all I got is a kernel panic, because the new kernel does not know about the megasr.ko module that I installed from disk. So I did the following (without final success): - cp /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/* /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/updates - depmod -a 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 - created a new initrd-cpio file and copied megasr.ko into the lib directory The systems starts loading the kernel and its ramdisk, and then hangs: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) I'am a bit lost, what else I can do to get this working? Best Regards --Michael

weird cron problem
by Andreas Kuntzagk 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hi, I'm having some problems with a script in /etc/cron.daily. It's quite simple: ------ #!/bin/sh touch /mnt/Backup/foo rsnapshot daily ----- So the touch gets executed, but the rsnapshot not. If I run manually > run-parts /etc/cron.daily/ everything's fine. Also when I run rsnapshot from roots crontab. So I have no idea what's the issue here. Any ideas / recommendations what to check?

Localize CUPS?
by Niki Kovacs 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hi, I've been setting up a networked printer in a 100% Linux LAN, and there's only one small problem left: how do I localize the CUPS interface (e. g. the pages I see when opening http://localhost:631 in a browser)? My system is localized in french. LANG is fr_FR.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. And I checked Firefox: it's supposed to open web content in French. Curiously, I had done similar installs before with Slackware 12, and there, the CUPS interface displayed in french "out of the box", e. g. without specifying it in cupsd.conf. Now IIRC, I had explicitly set a whole bunch of environment variables on my Slackware install (LC_MESSAGES and the likes) to french. 1) Could it be that? 2) Which variable would that be, and where do I set these in CentOS? Slackware's localization variables are all meant to be set in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh. Where is the orthodox place to do that in CentOS? cheers, Niki Kovacs
