wireless card for CentOS
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

Hi, I'll need to buy a new wireless card. I need a recommendation for PCMCIA wireless card that simply works with CentOS out of the box. By "works out of the box", I mean that it doesn't need ndis wrapper (or whatever it is called), kernel hacks, or whatever. Thanks

Limiting files when using rsync
by Todd Cary 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

I use the following command to sync the home directory on the two computers, however I would like not to send the "dot" files e.g. ".ssh". Can that be done, and if so, how would I construct the command line? /usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ Many thanks....

I want to make a cluster with two simple (INTEL SATA) pcs using CentOS, my question is? Is there something easiest than Linux RedHat Cluster Manager to make a cluster using CentOS with just two pcs? Regards, Israel

Re: [CentOS] Installing 4.4 - problem on 386
by Jussi Hirvi 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

I tried installing with several options (noacpi noapm; noprobe; noprobe skipddc noacpi noapm nodma). Always I get the same error. BUT this is not in fac a CentOS problem at all, because I get the same error always when I boot from hd (Fedora Core), IF there is a CD in the CD-ROM drive. (I tried with CentOS 1/4, CentOS 2/4 and a HP printer software CD.) It must be something with the CD drive! Maybe I just have to try another CD drive. - Jussi H.

We have added some new team members to better handle / respond to bugs.centos.org issues. They are: Stephen Smoogen (aka smooge on IRC) Matthew Miller Both these guys are regulars on the CentOS lists and are experienced at supporting distros, they will be a great asset for the CentOS Project. Also performing more duties is Ralph Angenendt (aka range on IRC). Ralph is our current wiki master and he has also decided to manage the CentOS mailing lists. We will be setting up and managing some "Alternative Language" lists in the near future (probably German, Spanish and Portuguese to start). We have also added an internal QA team with John Newbigin (CentOS-2 Developer), Ralph Angenendt and Stephen Smoogen to work on CentOS-5 QA. So, not only are we moving forward with CentOS-5 beta, but we are also gaining strength in other areas of the Project too. Thanks to John, Stephen, Matthew and Ralph for their commitment to donate their time and experience to CentOS. We will all be better for it. -- Johnny Hughes CentOS Developer

Preventing a user from moving "up" directories
by Todd Cary 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

I am in the process of setting up a new server. In the process I cannot remember what I need to set so that an FTP user cannot move upward in the directory tree of the user's directory. The FTP server is VSFTP. The user's directory is owned by the user and the permissions are 775. Isn't there a setting in httpd.conf to prevent that?

NFS 64-bit client crash with 32-bit server
by bigendian＠gmail.com 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

I have an unusual scenario where a new 64-bit multi-core Opteron Centos 4.4client crashes when writing a large file on a 32-bit NFS server. The problem happens on the same client with either Centos 4.4 or SuSE 9.3 32-bit NFS servers. Additionally the problem is reproducible with another identical 64-bit Centos 4.4 client. I'm not certain that the problem is tied to a 32-bit (as opposed to 64-bit) NFS server, but it doesn't happen on a local file system. The crash appears to be some sort of kernel panic, but I don't have the details as physical access to the server isn't easy. The crashes seem to happen when creating files over 2GB in size, but there doesn' seem to be a fixed size that triggers the problem. Sometimes I can get file sizes as high as 3GB before the crash, but it's ususally at the 2.3GB to 2.6GB range that it happens. Are there known issues with Centos 4.4 and NFS that I might be running into? Thanks, Tom

Question with MailScanner?
by Indunil Jayasooriya 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

Hi, I am happily running sendmail with MailScanner on CentOS 4.4. But I have an question. My question is that there are huge number of mails in /var/spool/mqueue.in . Why is that? My hard disk would go to waste. Can I delete them? or are these real mails. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya
