Linux-HA and the RedHat Cluster Suite???
by Prasad Pillarisetti 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

What's the difference between Linux-HA and the RedHat Cluster suite. Is the RH Suite just a packaged version of the freeware Linux-HA? -- Prasad Pillarisetti "If everything is coming your way, then you are in the wrong lane"

Subversion how-to section added to the wiki
by Max H. 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hey everyone, I added a very very simple how-to for getting Subversion running on CentOS (locally and across Apache)...basically aimed at a newbie that's never touched svn before. Let me know if anything is out of whack, needs changed, or if something isn't right. I did go through and actually follow it with an install, so it should be good. <http://wiki.centos.org/SubVersion> Max

Seamonkey
by Bart Schaefer 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

I saw the latest update announcements on the announce list, so I ran "yum check-update" and did not see seamonkey in the list. Which I guess makes sense, since it's a name change from mozilla. However, devhelp is in the list, and "yum update devhelp" pulls in seamonkey as a dependency. This seems like a sort of backdoor way to get seamonkey onto the system. Did these packages really come from the upstream this way? What if I had not had devhelp installed? Do I need to replace mozilla or not? Aside to Dag: The galeon package from rpmforge has an version dependency on the specific mozilla package that's being replaced by seamonkey (rather than a greater-or-equal dependency), so it's not presently possible to install both seamonkey and galeon with yum.

How to convert RHEL 4 system to CentOS
by James Marcinek 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hello Everyone, I have a RHEL4 system that I would prefer to leave on the current hardware and not have to rebuild if possible. Can some tell me if I can take my current distro of RHEL and move it to CentOS? What will I need to do, etc and how risky is it? Thanks, James Marcinek

Permissions
by Chris Peikert 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

I am trying to figure out how permissions work in Linux. In windows if I want someone to have access to something you put their name in a group then give that group access to that folder. However things can get difficult when you have an office with a folder structure like this: Taxoffice--->Names---> Private. Everyone in the group would need access to the Taxoffice folder and names folder but lets say only 4 people out of 12 need access to the private folder. 2 of those people need read only access and 2 full access. In windows this is easy because you can apply multiple groups and peoples permissions to a folder and file. How is this done in Linux when all I see is Owner and 1 Group permission?

CentOS Folding team breaks through the 250 ranking barrier!
by Sharon Kimble 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

Congratulations to each and every member of the CentOS Folding@home team for helping to break through the 250 ranking barrier. This means that we're now in the top 250 of the world! Well done to each and every one of you :) The netx target of 200 will be harder, but achievable. Keep on with the good work of crunching those work units, the team benefits with the team ranking, and medical science benefits with more results for them to work with. Everybodys happy :) But, we still need more machines to crunch work units with us. If you want more information about the project and our place in it and how it all works then please see .. http://www.sharons.org.uk/cf.html. And if you want more information, then please ask. Help us to help medical researchers, please.

Samba & NFS and file name charsets
by Christian Wahlgren 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

Hi, I have a problem copying files from a Suse 9.3 box to a CentOS 4.3 box with maintained characters in the file names. They usually have a lot of "åäö" (Swedish) in them and they are replaced by spaces when I copy to the CentOS 4.3 box. I have tried with nfs and then with Samba and get the same result. I have searched the net and found some suggestions about smbmount options "iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode" but it didn't help. What I've found out is that I can create file names with åäö from a WindowsXP box through a samba share in the CentOS box, and it also looks correct when I do a 'ls'. The same condition is also true with the Suse box. So, I can from a WindowsXP box copy from the Suse box and then save it on the CentOS box and get correct file names. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? None of the smb.conf on the boxes have any special settings about charsets. The Suse box uses ReiserFS and the CentOS uses ext3. Thanks, Christian
