Re: [CentOS] ASTERISK BOX behind a filewall

I hate to reply to my own reply but... I meant third ethernet card, not second.

You could then preserve the IP addresses for both your internal and external addresses. You wouldn't even have to nat to the asterix box since the ISA server could handle the routing and obviously if the source or dest is an internal IP then the packet gets sent to the internal interface and vice versa.

Yeah I got GNU gatekeeper to run on ISA in gateway mode... Much easier to do on CentOS though. This is on a corporate network with 2 T1 Internet links. Ross S. W.

Document Scanning and Storage
by Dennis McLeod 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

I'd like to start scanning our boxed up documents. I'd say about 30,000 files total. Mostly to eliminate the boxes of paper we have. I'd like to scan them, store them, Have some sort of index, and be able to retrieve them on multiple machines. I think PDF would be the desired format. I'd like be able to set some permissions as well. (not a deal breaker...) I've searched Sourceforge, and have seen knowledgetree, myDMS, contineo, etc, but really would like to hear from someone that is using something similar. Of course, I use Centos, so..... Thanks, Dennis

Centos Router
by Graham Johnston 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

With the current discuss of "Performance of CentOS as a NAT gateway", I am curious how many people out there are using CentOS as a Router/Firewall in an enterprise or service provider environment. For myself I am not really concerned about NAT just a stateful firewall. The other half of my questions is about performance. I have read many articles and posts on the net about performance tuning but they all seem to be about tuning a single host, not a router. Does any have any tips in this area? Is tuning even required. For the sake of the conversation lets assume I am referring to CentOS 5. Graham Johnston Manager, Network Services Westman Communications Group 204.571.7225 johnstong(a)westmancom.com

Re: [CentOS-devel] Areca RAID drivers

Please pardon the cross-posting to centos-users - in case others may be interested. Did a fresh install of CentOS-5 x86_64 on my server with Areca RAID (2 5TB RAID-5 arrays) with the OS on mirrored SCSI disks set up as software RAID-1 using Karanbir's dd ISO image. Used custom install and mounted the existing Areca RAID arrays as /data1 and /data2 (as they were for CentOS-4 - originally set up by the vendor with RHEL-4). Install and reboot went flawlessly, but after update to the latest kernel a reboot did not find the driver for kernel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and left me in single-user mode. Copied /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/arcmsr.ko created by the original installation to /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko did "depmod -a" and "modprobe arcmsr" and the Areca devices then mounted. I'm a newbie to weak-updates so would appreciate it if anyone could point out the "right way" [TM] to do this automagically when a new kernel is installed. Perhaps my google-foo is off today, or I have not exercised sufficient diligence to RTFM, but can't seem to find the recipe. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Wanted to try the dkms approach and the spec file below (based on RPMforge dkms-r1000.spec) worked for me. Installing the resulting RPM created /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/extra/arcmsr.ko, made a soft link to it as /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko, and removed /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko Should probably have figured out how to use the original ZIP archive from the vendor ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/DRIVER/CentOS/CentOS-5.0/1.20.0X.13/arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.zip in the spec, but instead cheated and created a .tgz archive from it to stay closer to the r1000 spec file's approach: $ tar ztvf arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.tgz drwxrwxr-x prs/prs 0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/ drwxrwxr-x prs/prs 0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/ -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 96956 2006-11-08 16:59:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/arcmsr.c -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 377113 2006-11-08 16:59:00 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/arcmsr.h -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 149 2005-07-21 19:10:00 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/Makefile Have yet to have a go at packaging the vendor's binary (CLI and HTTP) files in an RPM (reference earlier nosrc.rpm discussions in this thread), but did create a chkconfig-compatible script to set up the httpd service after a manual install. See below. I would hope Areca drivers might appear on RPMforge or CentOS Extras some day soon. Comments appreciated.

CentOS 5 on IA64
by James A. Peltier 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi All, I am looking for information on when CentOS 5 will be available for IA64. I found this forum posting but no responses http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8714&forum=45 I am looking to perform a large migration of about 500 workstations from various Suse and Red Hat versions to CentOS to standardize some what. Because I have to support x86 (32 & 64) and IA64 it would be nice to do this all at once. I know that CentOS 4.5 supports all the platforms listed, but if it's going to come out soon I'll just wait as it offers my users a lot more in terms of packages and support. BTW: Anyone out there have CentOS on SGI Altix? -- James A.

Can't install Kaffeine from RPMForge repo
by Niki Kovacs 12 Sep '07

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with the KDE desktop just to see if it suits our users better than the default GNOME. I configured the RPMForge repos and launched a 'yum install kaffeine'. After packages are downloaded, I get the following error: Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-mplayer2.desktop from install of kaffeine-0.7.1-1.2.el5.rf conflicts with file from package kdelibs-3.5.4-11.el5.centos Error Summary ------------- Any suggestions?

CentOSPlus Perl Upgrade
by Nick Webb 12 Sep '07

Hey All, I'm trying to upgrade to perl 5.8.8 via CentOSPlus, but am having no luck. Here is what I have done. # yum list | grep perl . . . perl.i386 3:5.8.5-12.1 installed . . . Created /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo with: #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch… #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 priority=2 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-smp-* kernel-hugemem* kernel-largesmp* Then tried: # sudo yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade perl Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-4 - Plus Finished Could not find update match for perl No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion What am I missing? Actually, looking at the "yum list" output, it looks like the current version installed is of the i386 architecture, while this machine is x86_64? Is that the problem? If so is it safe to install the i386 package? Is there an easy way to do this via yum? # uname -a Linux dev 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 09:40:21 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I'm begining to think the previous admin made some poor decisions on this server... Thanks! Nick
