Yum 2.4 for CentOS3
by Bernard Lheureux 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi all, I was wondering if it was existing a version 2.4.x of yum for CentOS3 somewhere ? Because the 2.0.x is so slow... Thanks for your help...

All in one good for CentOS
by Mark Hull-Richter 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

I've asked a similar question before, but this is slightly different - is there a reasonably good, cheap all-in-one scanner-copier-printer-fax device that works well with Linux, CentOS in particular? (Last time I asked about a scanner only, although it was in the context of a Canon MP160, which I never did get to work and wound up taking back.) Thanks. mhr

Single sign-on help requested
by Scott Ehrlich 25 Aug '07

I have a RHEL5 Server and some dual-boot XP/CentOS 5 systems (Linux systems all 64-bit). All Linux is out-of-box, with all packages, minus international languages, installed. No patching has been done. On the server, I selected system-config-authentication and enabled LDAP for User Information, Kerberos, LDAP, and SMB for Authentication, and Shadow and MD5 Passwords, along with Authenticate system accounts by network services for Options. All machines are on an isolated LAN, with no DNS server (I could always enable and configure DNS on the server if it helps the cause). I also don't know if it matters, but the server is running the virtualization kernel (xen), but the clients are not. I only have LDAP service enabled on the server. Kerberos services are enabled on both client and server. I tweaked the LDAP and Kerberos settings using the CentOS/RH GUIs, and have the clients looking to the RH box for authentication. I also have the firewall enabled, but am letting kerberos and ldap ports through as tcp. During a login test, /var/log/messages on the client showed: lin1 gdm[pid]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://192.168.1.100: Can't contact LDAP server lin1 gdm[pid]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 32 seconds)... lin1 dbus-daemon: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://192.168.1.100: Can't contact LDAP server lin1 dbus-daemon: dss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server... lin1 xfs: ... During boot time, Starting system message bus: [long pause] then error messages about DB_CONFIG and /var/lib/ldap, the usual cannot find DB_CONFIG in /var/lib/ldap, showing the example.com instead of my customized ldap settings, etc. I've checked openldap.org, but I figured if the configuration appears to be simplified via an included GUI, I shouldn't have much trouble gettigns things going. Anyway, what am I missing? Anything special RH 5 is doing compared to the openldap docs? Both servers have been rebooted since adding the respective ports in the firewall. The goal is a to permit my test user, created on the server, to sit at a workstation, boot into either Linux or XP, and get their home directory. Ideally, the server only needs to consist of one account for them, which they get upon login on the workstation. I want to highly restrict _any_ third-party tools/apps/etc. I will be happy to take suggestions and leads, but I want to try and rely on what RH has provided. Thanks for any insight/help. Scott

Does anyone here by chance know how to change the port vsftpd uses for ftps? I want to change it over to the regular FTP port due to firewall restrictions.... d

by Simon Jolle 24 Aug '07

Hi list I am running out of space on my notebook. So wanna buy additional and external storage. I don't wanna do a DIY-work, so searching for pre-built external hard disks. I wish to buy Seagate FreeAgent Pro [0]. Does it work under CentOS 5? Would you recommend me even better products? I am searching for good performance, noise-less, smart standard support and no useless features like NFS/CIFS server, etc. [0] http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/freeagent_pro_data_mover… cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle(a)swissjabber.org

UTC vs local time
by Simon Jolle 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi list I always configure my systems to use our local time (in my case /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich) and disable UTC. What are the differences between UTC and local time? What are their respective advantages and disadvantages? When to use UTC? cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle(a)swissjabber.org

Re: [CentOS] Problems reading a backup data DVD

Mark: What I see, when gnome-mount (?), or something else, is not working properly, is a generic icon for the DVD drive. If a DVD is mounted, properly, it will also show me the label for the DVD and work properly. So far, to get a DVD to mount properly in that drive, I need to do it manually. Always, if I put the CentOS install DVD and boot the box, it will mount properly. I believe this is a problem with a configuration file or permissions. Lanny

There are couple of excellent patches available from http://www.ssi.bg/~ja for advance routing,load balancing,link-failover etc. Any idea why these patches are not yet integrated into the upstream kernel? Thanks
