/boot partition or not on C5
by mark pryor 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

hello, the last 3 times I installed C5, the MBR was unchanged and nothing was written into /boot/grub except splash.xbm.gz there were no stage* files, nor a menu.lst I know how to fix that. Would I have better luck using a partition mounted as /boot? Anyone succeded with Grub that way? I prefer not having to do surgery to get C5 to boot :) -- Mark New Packages for C5 --------- dkms-et131x-1.2.2-el5.noarch.rpm (gigabit ethernet driver) http://www.tlviewer.org/c5repo/web/agere kchm-el5 (CHM client with io-slave) http://www.tlviewer.org/c5repo/kde/ --------------------------------- Luggage?

Running Centos5 server software. Running ALL software except virtualization and server cluster. Patched this server software via yum updates as of 9.24.2007 Downloaded the webcam software for FC7 from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=10106 Zoneminder-1.22.3-6.fc7.i386.rpm When YUM tried to install this version of Zondminder, finds this 1 missing dependency: Missing Dependency: perl(Device::SerialPort) is needed by package zoneminder Question: how do I resolve this missing dependency? I have never compiled a kernal or anything else. Please lead me to a direction to resolve this. Thank you for your time. Ken

NFS issue
by Dan 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I am currently running K12LTSP on Centos 5, which is working well but without sound on most machines(ok all). So in order to remedy this and the cd-burning issue I have decided to try to install CentOS locally on one machine and then apply the personalizations via NFS. Steps: I editted the /etc/exports to export the /home dir as per the NFS howto and that seemed to work as the user homes were mounted in the correct place after an edit to my /etc/fstab "192.168.0.254:/home /mnt/home nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0" good :) Then I started adding users, I added one user and did not create a /home/user directory instead pointed the home folder to /mnt/home/user But when I try to login as that user I got the dreaded: "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default sessionand languages from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 Permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users." So I looked into the permissions and this is what I see serverside: [root@LTSP ~]# ls -al /home total 64 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 15 23:13 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Sep 22 17:45 .. drwx------ 27 ainsley ainsley 4096 Sep 23 19:13 ainsley drwx------ 31 Dan Dan 4096 Sep 24 21:42 Dan drwx------ 27 darren darren 4096 Sep 23 18:17 darren drwx------ 33 devin devin 4096 Sep 24 07:28 devin drwx------ 22 kristi kristi 4096 Sep 24 21:35 kristi drwx------ 21 landen landen 4096 Sep 24 21:14 landen BUT when I look at the /mnt/home listing I see a completely different set of permissions: drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 15 23:13 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Sep 22 17:45 .. drwx------ 27 devin devin 4096 Sep 23 19:13 ainsley drwx------ 31 Dan Dan 4096 Sep 24 21:42 Dan drwx------ 27 kristi kristi 4096 Sep 23 18:17 darren drwx------ 33 503 503 4096 Sep 24 07:28 devin drwx------ 22 504 504 4096 Sep 24 21:35 kristi drwx------ 21 505 505 4096 Sep 24 21:14 landen the ones in bold are definately wrong, and I have no idea how they are being set. unless it is because they are not accounts on the test machine yet but then neither is the "landen" account and that one has the correct permissions sort of.... the user numbers are correct for the user names by the way. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Dan

vmware 1.0.4 lock up on install
by Jerry Geis 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I am not having a good experience with vmware. Twice I have tried it today and it locks up my machine. First attempt was to install centos 4.5 i386. It told me it could not find anything to install on. After a post to the list I was instructed to not do typical, but custom and select LSILogic as the controller. I did and I got past that point. I then goto into an install with 6 minutes remaining on screen and another lock up. Anyone else experiences this with vmware. Is it something I am not doing or its just not going to work for me? I have a stock centos 4.5 X86 AMD X2 as my host and was installing a centos 4.5 i386 guest. Thanks, I was almost there. Jerry

Zimbra vs. Scalix vs. et. al.
by John Hinton 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Well, I stumbled onto zimbra.... I have a Scallix system built, but still have some rough edges to try to smooth. Like the way it works with sendmail, no dnsbl's will work as sendmail sees all mail as coming from locohost (scalix). Still battling that one which is when I ran across Zimbra. So, this made me start wondering. Are there other exchange server-like products out there? Has anyone dealt with Scalix and Zimbra (or another from the question above) and would you care to post pros and cons to each? Some of the cons to me with Scalix. It uses it's own directory structure which is non-sensical to any admin. Each seems to be assigned on a numbering system.. finding who has what where is not fun and I fear will be a nightmare in the future. Sendmail milters work fine to a point, but there is the limit of filtering using dnsbl's and it appears it will require setting up sendmail as the receiver, passing to scalix, passing back to sendmail, passing back to scalix and the user mail boxes... adding an extra loop. Shared folder are nice.. shared calendars are pretty good although I don't see a way to sort by user are even really see immediately for which user the event exists. You can drag and drop from Outlook IMAP a file directly to the server, but internally we don't use outlook... but for other clients this could be nice. So, how are those Zimbra installs going and what's the scoop? Thanks, John Hinton

DNAT PREROUTING issue with iptables
by Indunil Jayasooriya 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi, I have an DNAT ISSUE with PREROUTING. This is my setup. I have 2 firewalls running iptables. Pls asume 1.2.3.4/29 is the internet interace of FIRST firewall. 2.3.4.5/29 is the internet interface of SECOND firewall. it has DMZ zone. in that DMZ zone, mail server runnig @ 192.168.100.3 Now I want to DNAT port 25 of FISRT firewall (i.e - its ip address - 1.2.3.4/29) to the internet ip address ( 2.3.4.5/29) of SECOND firewall. That firewal DNATs port 25 to mail server @ 192.168.100.3 in DMZ zone. These are rules I have added. FIRST firewall (its internet ip address - 1.2.3.4/29) I have addes below rule. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 2.3.4.5:25 That should forward port 25 to SECOND firewall. in SECOND firewall, I have added 2 below rules. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 2.3.4.5 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3:25 iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT Now, it should forward port 25 to mail server @ DMZ Zone. I think I have added these rules properly. But, It does not work. I checked from outside world . I telneted to port 25 of first firewaal. Then, It should forward to mail server @ DMZ zone. But, no responce. WHY is that? YOUR IDEAS? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Formatting a large disk
by Rajeev R Veedu 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I need to install Centos on a machine with 3tb raid disk. (3 ware raid card) Could someone in the list suggest a utility for partition this disk. I would like to have the whole disk in 1 partition and format it for ext3. The default partitioning utility doesn't do this. The OS sits on another SATA disk and each time during the installation it doesn't format the full disk which is 3TB. Could someone suggest another disk partitioning utility (other than fdisk) please? Thanks Rajeev R. Veedu

[T-dose-announce] Screenshots of your fav opensource software or desktop ( high resolution - 1002-768 ) for slide show on t-dose (fwd)
by Dag Wieers 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi CentOS users, The centos-promo team is looking for your help. Is anyone interested in creating nice CentOS screenshots ? We can have them on the wiki as well for future articles or presentations. A good screenshot should: + Be clear on what it is showing - applications like eg. inkscape should have a file opened - files opened in applications should make clear what the application does - try not to show off too many things at once, in order to not overwhelm or confuse + The CentOS logo (and name) should be clearly visible - possibly by using the content in applications eg. inkscape could open the SVG CentOS logo with some text or Open Office could show an important CentOS slide that also holds the major advantages of CentOS - or making the background visible with CentOS theme Please let me know if you are interested to contribute in this fashion.
