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

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

rpm error
by Kevin K 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

After noticing unfixable EXT3 corruption yesterday on my Centos4 system, (kernel panics), which I eventually traced down to bad memory, I decided to restore my system partition from a backup back in May. (luckily, my user data doesn't seem to be affected, and was on a different partition). Obviously, there were a lot of updates that needed to be made. I started yum off before bed, there being 377 meg worth of downloads. This morning, after the reboot, I realized it was still using the old kernel from May. Ran yum again for the remaining 31 meg of downloads. Didn't work. rpm doesn't seem to work properly anymore, can't install any of these remaining updates, and can't even remove some of the older, unneeded, kernels anymore. The error output of my yum and the standalone rpm error output is attached. I've already tried a rebuilddb command on the rpm database without any noticable benefit. Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to avoid doing a fresh install. Thanks.

For those of you who are either part of the secret cabal, or are otherwise keeping track of it, there is a new version available. The current version of the cryptex is version 3.1. It's changed rather significantly in some areas.

firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 and SVG
by Anne Possoz 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

Hello, With the updated firefox (and freetype) I can't see svg files: « This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. » While, if installing firefox 1.5.0 from the official site, svg files display without trouble. What could be the reason for that? Anne -- Anne Possoz, Domaine IT-GE Espace logiciel libre à l'Ecole Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne (Switzerland)
