Yum question - RHEL4
by Tom Brown 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi this is technically a RHEL4 question but i hope it can be answered here... Does RHEL4 do yum OK ? I kix a lot of boxes and it would be great to run the update after the build automajically rather than running through the up2date registration and using that method. I would also rather not pay lots for satellite server. If i setup my own RHEL repo can i use yum against this? Or any other thoughts/options ? thanks

Default X manager
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, I've installed XFCE via yumgroup without problem. If I boot in runlevel 3 and run X with startxfce4 command all works ok too, but if If I start the system in runlevel 5, it seems the X default X manager is always twm. ¿How can I setup the default X manager? TIA. -- Jordi Espasa Clofent PGP id 0xC5ABA76A #http://pgp.mit.edu/ FSF Associate Member id 4281 #http://www.fsf.org/

Problen with vsftpd and chroot
by Tony Molloy 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

I'm setting up a local mirror server on a CentOS4 box. I want it to serve files over http, nfs and ftp. I've set this up with the mirrored directories on a separate partition. I've got the http and nfs working but am having some trouble with ftp. I'm using vsftpd as the ftp server. I can log in to the ftp server and get to the pub (/var/ftp/pub) directory. However when I try and go to the mirrored directories below this I get a "can't change directory error. The mirrored directories is a symbolic link to the actual directories on the separate partition. So my question is is vsftpd chrooted to the /var/ftp directory by default and won't follow symbolic links and if so is there any way to change this behaviour. I can change the mount points if I need to but I was just wondering. Thanks, Tony -- Tony Molloy. System Manager. Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick

problems with greylistd
by Jeff Lasman 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

I'm using CentOS 4.4 <snip> # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) # </snip> I downloaded and installed greylistd as follows: greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm from: http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/atrpms/rhel/4/en/i386/RPMS.at-stabl… I installed it without problems. <snip> # rpm -Uvh greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm warning: greylistd-0.8.3.2-7.el4.at.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 66534c2b Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:greylistd ########################################### [100%] # </snip> But it doesn't run <frown>. I start it using "service greylistd start". I'm presuming that should work, as all the files seem to be in place for it to work. <snip> # service greylistd start Starting greylistd: [FAILED] # </snip> The message in /var/log/messages is decidedly unhelpful; all it tells me is that the program started and then stopped: <snip> Dec 31 19:43:53 da12 su(pam_unix)[11890]: session opened for user greylistd by jlasman(uid=0) Dec 31 19:43:53 da12 su(pam_unix)[11890]: session closed for user greylistd Dec 31 19:43:55 da12 greylistd: greylistd startup failed </snip> Any ideas as to what may be going on? Or where I should look? Or if there's easily installable source-code available? Thanks.

After making some adjustments to Samba via the Control Center, the System Settings | Server Settings | Samba (my preferred) no longer will display. Can I fix this or do I need to reinstall Centos 4.4? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Setting up rsync
by Todd Cary 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set up rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew more about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time since then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the destination computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part, is the part I have forgotten how to do. This is the command line: /usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ Is there anyone who can translate what I am trying to do?

Desktop link for NTFS .htm file type asks for run or display in CentOS 4.4
by Edward Diener 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I created a desktop launcher whose type was a link and pointed to an NTFS file on a read-only ( ro ) partition. When I open the launcher it always asks me whether I want to display or run the file. Of course I want display it and when I click on that button it displays it in my browser, Firefox, correctly. It is neverthless onerous to constantly be asked and have to then click the correct display button rather than Gnome knowing to display it automatically. This appears to be happening because the file on the NTFS has an executable permission set to it because the umask I used in /etc/fstab for the partition was 0222. However when I tried changing the umask to 0333, in order to only have the read bit turned on, after rebooting an attempt to open the file from the launcher fails completely since nothing happens. Is there a solution to this problem, or is this just the way Gnome works in regard to its launchers ?
