pam ulimit 64 bit
by Peter van Eck 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi, Although this is on RHEL 4 update 2 x86-64 I would like to place the question on this list. I'm trying to set up some shell limits for a user. I've added the user to /etc/security/limits.conf There is an entry in /etc/pam.d/login with pam_limits.so as well as in /etc/pam.d/sshd When I try to set ulimit -n <value> I get : cannot modify limit : Operation not permitted Even if I replace all entries in /etc/pam.d/login with the absolute path to /lib64/security it doesn't work. Any suggestions on where to look now ? thanks, Peter

Firefox 2.0 on CentOS 4.4
by Edward Diener 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

I realize that CentOS 4.4 is all about stability but I would still like to install Firefox 2.0 on it, since I am sharing my Firefox project across OSs on a multi-boot machine and the other OSs have Firefox 2.0. Is it possible to get CentOS 4.4 to work properly with Firefox 2.0 and, if so, does anybody know of a CentOS 4.4 repository which has a Firefox 2.0 RPM available.

RE: [CentOS] Java JDK on CentOS 4.4

Yesterday I downloaded the "Linux x64 RPM in self-extracting file" jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64-rpm.bin from Sun's website and it installed it easily. "chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64-rpm.bin" "./jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64-rpm.bin" It ends up in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09/ > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On > Behalf Of Edward Diener > Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:28 PM > To: centos(a)centos.org > Subject: [CentOS] Java JDK on CentOS 4.4 > > I did not choose Java when I installed CentOS 4.4 and I want to install > a JDK to do Java programming.

GPL java
by Jim Perrin 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

For the people who are currently interested in java as it relates to centos now that Sun has GPL'd java there are some things to be aware of. The folks at jpackage.org are pretty much all over this development but it's not the bright shiny news everyone has made it out to be. Sun did a very good thing by moving java under the GPL, and they should be commended for FINALLY seeing the light after the failure of the DLJ license BUT: 1. Sun did not open all of java under the GPL. There are still several chunks of java which remain license encumbered and will require community workarounds or further moves by Sun to open code. Currently these include the color management code, font rasteriser code, graphics rasteriser code, and several more. 2. Sun is not opening up the Java trademark, so any GPL'd distribution of java will not be called 'java', but something else. I've heard that iceweasel is taken, so I don't know what the next best option is. The fine folks at jpackage are working the details further. This basically means that for the time being, there will not be a gpl'd jdk in centos4, and packages will have to be distributed under the DLJ license (which I am not a fan of) or obtained from java.sun.com and used in conjunction with the jpackage sun-java-compat packages for best performance. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

tar vs. star vs. something-else-I-don-t-know-about
by Alexey Loukianov 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hello all, today I've been sitting at work and upgrading a very-very-very old server with RedHat Linux 6.2 installed up to CentOS 3.8. The process went smoothly, as it is not the first time I was doing the things like this. Just after upgrading I went to rpm -qai list and got an interesting observation: there are at least two "tar" utilities installed on the system. One is tar, and second is star. [root@devel mrtg]# rpm -qi star Name : star Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.5a08 Vendor: CentOS Release : 4 Build Date: Вск 29 Фев 2004 04:54:14 Install Date: Пнд 13 Ноя 2006 09:38:38 Build Host: centos3.wellhouse Group : Applications/Archiving Source RPM: star-1.5a08-4.src.rpm Size : 336744 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Втр 16 Мар 2004 01:48:38, Key ID 7049e44d025e513b URL : http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private… Summary : An archiving tool with ACL support Description : Star saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. Star supports ACL. [root@devel mrtg]# rpm -qi tar Name : tar Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.14 Vendor: CentOS Release : 4 Build Date: Пнд 21 Фев 2005 18:58:37 Install Date: Срд 05 Апр 2006 19:48:51 Build Host: bhrama.build.karan.org Group : Applications/Archiving Source RPM: tar-1.14-4.src.rpm Size : 824393 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Вск 27 Фев 2005 00:39:26, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 Packager : Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ Summary : A GNU file archiving program. Description : The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full backups. If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install the rmt package. I would like to know, what are the differences between them? Which one should I use in the future? Is star compatible with amanda backup suite (I use amanda as a main backup software solution for our production environment servers)? Also, there may be other tar-like/compatible utilities shipped with CentOS3/4 that I simply don't know about. It would be great, if somebody will provide me with info (or a link to a place) about such utilities, and with a comparison between them all. Thanks in advance. -- С уважением, Alexey mailto:aloukianov@lavtech.ru
