help with samba and ldap on centos 5
by Aaron Bliss 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi everyone; I'm having some trouble with samba on a centos 5 box; the box has been configured to authenticate against an ldap server via authconfig....authentication for normal use (console, ssh) works great....I'm having some trouble with samba using single ldap users or local users....It's rather weird, shares in which access restrictions are based upon ldap groups are working fine, getent group shows local and ldap groups, however attempting to assign access to a share for either a single ldap user or a local user doesn't work, and produces the following error when trying to hit the share: smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User myuser1 ! For local users, I've added local os accounts as well as accounts in the samba database with smbpasswd Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Aaron

Stability issues with Dovecot imap-login in Centos 5?
by Christian Nygaard 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

I wonder if other people are seeing stability issues with Dovecot and imap-login against LDAP? I've changed from pam_nss to ldap without nss in Dovecot to see if that helps the issue. I realise Dovecot is version 1.0 in Centos 5, would it be more advisable to switch to Cyrus? I'm using mbox mail spool files would that work with Cyrus? Chris

how to find out which is the system disk by bios?
by Farkas Levente 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

hi, how can i know which is the system disk by bios? i've pc with 2 sata disk connected to the on board sata controller and 2 other connected to a pci card sata controller. bios see all disk as well as linux, but in linux kernel sda and sdb is the pci card's 2 disks and the on board controllers are sdc and sdd. my problem is centos install the system by default to sda and intall grub in the system disk's mbr (ie. sda's mbr). which is right most of the time, but in my case the system is not boot after the install since grub (and the os) it's not on the system disk where the bios try to find it. ok after i recognize it i can choose sdc during install and install the whole system there, but the worse thing is that i'd like to do it from a kickstart file _automaticaly_. so i have to somehow discover which disk will be choosen by the bios as system disk? or which disk is connected to the on board controller and which is the pci extension card? how can i find out this information (eg. by a shell script in kickstart %pre section)? and this scripts should have to work for all kind of motherboard and sata card too:-) thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Re: [CentOS] CentOS things to mod for VMware server
by Brent L. Bates 06 Aug '07

I wouldn't use any other file system than XFS as it is the most reliable file system out there. We've been using XFS on a x86 system for over a year now and haven't had any file system problems. It has actually saved us on occasion. From what I've read, people have only reported problems when they pile layer upon layer of stuff on their disks. Logical volumes, NFS, etc., etc.. We are using XFS on RAID drives, both RAID 1 and 0, and the only extra item we add is NFS. Before our Linux boxes, we've used XFS on SGI's for probably over a decade of dependable and reliable service. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

ipw220 wireless firmware for CentOS 5
by andy.allen＠virgin.net 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

OK, I've downloaded and unzipped the firmware files in ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz - so I have 4 files: ipw2200-bss.fw, ipw2200-ibss.fw, ipw2200-sniffer.fw and LICENSE.ipw2200-fw, all of which I've placed in the /lib/firmware directory. Unfortunately, the instructions in README.ipw2200 and INSTALL are not clear as to what to do next. I'm using CentOS 5 on my (Dell) laptop so setting-up wireless networking should be reasonably straightforward - shouldn't it? Any help much appreciated - I'm a real linux fan, but it grieves me to say that, in this case, "wireless works much better in Windows XP!"

replicate centos installation
by beast 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Since neither anaconda nor system-config-kickstart can give a list of all packages that has been installed, waht is the recommended way to replicate one system for another new installation (without using hd cloning) ? Is it possible to simply do 'rpm -qa >> my-ks.cfg' ? When running anaconda installer, it gives system selection as well as package grouping (desktop vs server -> gnome vs kde -> gnome-pilot etc), which file provides these info? Thanks! --beast

CentOS vs RedHat releases
by Scott Ehrlich 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

In comparing CentOS to RedHat releases, it seems to me CentOS is the Desktop/Workstation class distro from RedHat. Does the CentOS project then not have a Server class distro, or am I missing something? Granted, most any operating system can act as a server, but there are some fundamental components of a server-class OS that help is stand out versus a workstation version. Thanks for any insights. Scott
