Encryption software for CentOS 5.0
by Ioannis Vranos 24 May '07

24 May '07

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. In the past while I was using SL 4.x. I was using BestCrypt. Now in CentOS 5.0, neither BestCrypt nor TrueCrypt seem to work. Is there any volume encryption or full HDD encryption that works with CentOS 5.0 out there (preferably in single-user mode)?

Truetype fonts
by centos＠911networks.com 24 May '07

24 May '07

I am trying to install on a CentOS5 box http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/files/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm then did an xfs restart, even an alt-ctrl-backspace. The fonts are located in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ with the owner root & 644. I can't see them when I go to preferences > fonts. I have another computer with CentOS5, the fonts are installed and I can use them w/o problem. Any suggestion? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Re: [CentOS] Login problem on CentOS 4.4 GDM
by Brent L. Bates 24 May '07

24 May '07

We had a similar problem. I believe there was an error message in our system log files that pointed to the solution. I logged in remotely and deleted a problem file. I'm not 100% sure what the file was, but I think it was something like .ICEauthority or a variation on it. Some how the file got corrupted and when root tried to login, it was quickly kicked out. I hope this helps some. Good luck. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

Source RPM -- need to rebuild ldap client tools
by Steve Finkelstein 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi all, I believe the last yum update I performed installed a new openldap-client for me, including SASL support. I used to be able to perform ldapsearch without explicitly passing '-x' to the command line to pull the directory down. Now, I receive the following: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16) Would my best bet be to find a source RPM and rebuild the ldap client without sasl support? If so, where's my best bet to grab this and do it the "proper" CentOS way. Thanks, - sf

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4 won't boot on test machine [SOLVED]

I am completely baffled as to why there was another disk drive in the map, particularly sdd, since that's the bad one. I just guessed that, since the CMOS boot order only specifies one disk drive, maybe that was the "one."

CentOS 4 won't boot on test machine
by Mark Hull-Richter 23 May '07

23 May '07

I must have really shot myself in the foot on this one. I reinstalled CentOS 4.4 (have to, for now) on my test machine, exactly the way it was before (same options anyway), but when it comes up, I get: Booting 'CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-42.ELsmp)' root(hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... If I press any key, I get a garbled screen that is nearly impossible to read. So, I rebooted from the DVD in rescue mode, ran fdisk to verify that the partitions are set up correctly, ran e2fsck on all three formatted partitions (sde1 - /boot, sde3 - /, sde6 - /home), ran e2label to make sure the labels are set correctly and everything checks out. All the file images are present in /boot where they should be, and the device map shows hd1 is /dev/sde3. Is my disk rotten or something? Everything is in the right place (so far) but it won't boot. The test machine is of a type I don't recognize, it's running a 2.88GHz Xeon processor with 8Gb of memory, a 4-disk RAID SATA controller (currently configured as 4 separate drives, one of which is "spared" because it did go bad) and a WD hard drive as /dev/sde. It has a 17" FP monitor with an ATI <something> XL video card, though I doubt that last part is terribly relevant. Suggestions welcome. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-680-3001 - fax
