CentOSPlus kernel - Request for input
by Johnny Hughes 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

OK, I am building the new CentOSPlus kernel for i386/x86_64. It is based on the 2.6.9-42.EL kernel that will be part of CentOS-4.4. Currently it has all the features of the older plus kernels and all the items turned on by the upstream provider in their main kernel ... except that XFS is being removed from this kernel (and added by a standalone module that has newer sgi code for xfs). I am not going to add patches to the kernel, but I will entertain requests to turn on features that are included and require users to have to recompile their kernels (that don't require adding patches). If you currently have to change the config file and recompile the kernel, tell me the config items you are turning on and I will see if I can roll them into the new CentOSPlus kernel. I need all the input in the next few days ... so don't put it off :) Thanks, Johnny Hughes

syslogd/klogd problem on CentOS4.3
by Jeff Liu 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi all, I have installed a CentOS4.3 box and migrated some application from FC1 to the new box, everything else runs perfectly except syslogd/klogd. /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog starts without any problem, but there is nothing logged into /var/log/messages, even I restart the service. However, I tried to shut the service down and run "syslogd -m 0 &" and "klogd -x &" as root from shell, it works good. I have spent a lot of time, but still can not figure out why it does not work when starts by init as a daemon. Anybody had the same issue before? Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff L

[OT] RedHat's licence, CentOS rebuild
by Alain Reguera 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hello, I've been talking with some friends about the Redhat's SRPMs release issue. I've been reading the trademarks and some points of GPL. But get some confusion around the questions: Is redhat forced to release the sources of its product? Is redhat forced, due GPL licence, to make the sources of its product available to others (including those who don't buy the distro), and permit changes whenever the trademark guidelines were respected? There is some legal arguments that force the redhat's sources to be released. Is redhat's sources released by its kindness or because there is some legal document that enforced that. In a past post, I read that even if redhat close the distro, it has to release the sources to the client how buy the distro, so he/she would rebuild it and release a new one based on it as totally free. So, will CentOS have to buy the redhat distro to rebuild it and release it for free to the community in a close case ? Have we some guarantee that redhat will not close the srpms and the rebuilding will be safe ?. What does CentOS mean with: CentOS has no relationship with Red Hat(r), Inc. or RHEL. What happen with those countries that are not allowed to use redhat, can they use CentOS ? does redhat want this ? is this permitted by some legal argument. I'll really appreciate your comments about this, feel like I am in a neuronal crusade with this topic. my Regards to you and your Time Al.

using windbind to connect to AD
by James Marcinek 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hello, After a couple of years using Samba as a DC I figured I would start working it the other way around. I'm using CentOS, the latest and tried to use the GUI manager. I am sort of confused as there are acutally 2 windows. I filled out both and supplied the name of the AD administrator. Do I just put the AD domain in there with .realm after it? (eg testdomain.com.realm)? I tried with and without I then tried to login with an AD user, but used his username only (eg user1) but it didn't work. I am assuming that with this type of authentication, I will be able to login with user's from the AD directory... Has anyone worked with this setup before? Thanks, James

OT Clarkconnect Firewall/Router updates
by w.arkwolf 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hello All, I have several Centos boxes I am very pleased with. I run another box with the Clarkconnect distribution as a dedicated firewall. Since the Clarkconnect distro is built from Centos I was wondering if anyone knows what needs to be installed on this box so that I could use yum to keep it up to date? Apologies if this is not the proper venue for this question. -Arkwolf

Configuring Login to access Samba
by mbneto 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi, I'd like to use CentOS in my machines but I'd like to login using the same user/pass. Is it possible to configure KDM/GDM/whatever to check the user/password in my local samba. I would not want to create and mantain users in sync with a central passwd/shadow. Thanks.

Anyone gotten qemu to operate in bride network mode on centos 4
by Jerry Geis 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

I have been asking on the qemu list how to get bridge network mode working under centos 4... To no avail. The following script is what I have tried as my /etc/qemu-ifup. It supposedly worked for fedora. #!/bin/sh # # qemu_up # # script to bring up the tun device in QEMU in bridged mode # # This script bridges eth0 and tap0. First take eth0 down, then bring it up with IP 0.0.0.0 # /sbin/ifdown eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up # # Bring up tap0 with IP 0.0.0.0, create bridge br0 and add interfaces eth0 and tap0 # /sbin/ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0 /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0 /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0 # # As we have only a single bridge and loops are not possible, turn spanning tree protocol off # /usr/sbin/brctl stp br0 off # # Bring up the bridge with IP 192.168.1.10 and add the default route # /sbin/ifconfig br0 192.168.1.10 up /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1 #stop firewalls /sbin/service firestarter stop /sbin/service iptables stop Does anyone have qemu working in a bridged network mode and can share... I would appreciate it. When I boot my guest OS I do not get a DHCP address. Jerry

connecting linux console using serial port (NOW PPP)
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Alex, in this case of setting up PPP on my linux, do I have to run "s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -n 2 -s 115200 /dev/ttyS0 " in inittab file? Thanks again; Regards; Israel Quoting israel.garcia at cimex.com.cu <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos> : > Alex, thanks for your soon answer, but in case I want to configure PPP > on this server, what files do I have to configure? > Can I login in this server using SSHD over a PPP conection? First you'd uncomment that /AutoPPP/ line in login.config file. Depending if you want to allow or not direct login on modem line, you'd eiteher leave or comment out the "/bin/login" line at the end of a file. Than you'd need to install pppd and configure it. You'd go to /etc/ppp. Edit options and options.ttyS0 files, and probably take a look into chap-secrets and pap-secrets (by default they should be setup as fallthrough to /etc/passwd, unless you changed them). You might put something like this into options file: lock crtscts proxyarp 1.2.3.4: And something like this into options.ttyS0 file: :1.2.3.5 Change 1.2.3.4 to be the IP address of the server (box where the modem is). 1.2.3.5 is the IP address that will be assigned to the client that connected from ttyS0. Make sure both addresses are on the same subnet. And you should be set to go.

Connecting CentOS to IPSEC VPN (Checkpoint FW1)
by Dag Wieers 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi, Does anyone have experience using IPSEC on CentOS in order to connect to vendor IPSEC-based VPN products (specifically Checkpoint FW1) ? Is the included IPSEC implementation sufficient, or do people have to rely on OpenSWAN or FreeSWAN ? I'd be testing tomorrow and I'm interested with experiences others have had and things to look out for. Thanks in advance, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
