Windows Share - FSTAB - CentOS 5
by Juan C. Valido 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

//winserver/winshare /linuxdir smbfs username=username,password=password, this line doesn't work for me in fstab in CentOS 5 to mount a Windows share, it works in other versions of RH. Any Ideas? Will using Windows NFS server/client (some reading required) work better than Samba?

ralink rt61 in centos 5
by Olaf Mueller 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Hello, Does anybody knows if the rt61 driver from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com works under centos 5? And if so, what is the recommended command to build this driver from sources, 'make install' or 'make install-fedora'? Thanks a lot! I need this driver for my ralink wlan card on my notebook. I also could build this driver under a fresh centos 5 installation, but it freezes my notebook if trying to start the network interface wlan0 (WPA2, AES). The kernel was the default kernel from the installation CDs. regards Olaf

Centos 5 FTP install failure
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

I set up to install via ftp with "linux askmethod" I put all the addresses in manually. Do my drive partitioning and everything and then get: "Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: anaconda-base-2007" Turns out that I forgot to switch the cable to the switch port with the proper VLAN. So of course it could not find anything on the network. It seems to me that with the Centos 4 ftp install, I got a warning about not being able to reach the ftp server BEFORE the graphical install started. It was a real time-wasting pain, going all the way through to the abort point until I finally looked down at the switch and said, "DAH!"

firewire on centos5
by gen2 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Hi all, CentOS noob trying v5 for the first time -- What's the best way to get firewire modules onboard? Build a custom kernel? I'm not seeing any cent5 compatible module-rpms for this. Any general pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libpthread.so.0
by Bisbal, Prentice 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

I just installed EMC PowerPath 5.0.0 and Navisphere Agent and CLI on a CentOS 4.4/x86_64 system. When I try to start naviagent, I get the error below. Before upgrading to CentOS4.4, this same system had RHEL3 ES for x86_64 on it, and the same problem was encountered. I spent weeks going back and forth with EMC tech support, but the problem was never resolved. I'm hoping someone here on this list can shed more light on the cause and solution. PowerPath appears to be working just fine. /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviagent: relocation error: /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviagent: symbol __pthread_atfork, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference -- Prentice The contents of this communication, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Its just this one machine that gives the bad MAC message in dmesg and will not keep its IP address. Very odd, Jerry

Web conferencing
by Gerald Braun 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Could anyone recommend a package, preferably available via yum, to host web conferencing / collaboration? I am interested in being able to share an XP desktop with up to 5 other users. Any remote control capabilities would be a plus. Am currently running a Centos 4.4 server. Thanks, GB
