SV: [CentOS] usernames with capitals
by Claus Derlien 02 Feb '06

--NoDisclaim-- I cant use an editor to mass update and change usernames as this is a part of an automatic useradd routine written in an ancient legacy application which calls useradd and usermod, we have been using this software for more than 15 years, so its hard for me to argue for a rewrite, so im forced to bend the OS instead it isnt a problem on redhat 8.0, so somewhere in the patches for shadow utils. there must be a change to this behaviour.. up until now i have created the useradds with lower case and manually converted them to upper case I am aware that it is a no no to use upper case usernames, but we have been doing it for years without problems so... thanks for the answers so far best regards claus derlien -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org]På vegne af Les Mikesell Sendt: 1. februar 2006 18:06 Til: CentOS mailing list Emne: Re: [CentOS] usernames with capitals On Wed, 2006-02-01 at 08:45, Barry Brimer wrote: > > If it is just for a set of existing users, I'd add them in > > lowercase, then edit > > /etc/passwd > > /etc/shadow > > /etc/group > > /etc/gshadow > > and mv the /home/ directory to names you want (making sure > > everything matches). > > You might choose to use vipw and vigr to edit the above files as well. > > If you use local mail spools, you will need to rename /var/spool/mail/user > to /var/spool/mail/USER That's actually a different problem and a good reason by itself not to ever use uppercase in a user login name.

PHP upgrade from 4.3.9 to 4.4.2 or 5.x
by Nigel kendrick 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Sorry - noob-ish question.. I have been having problems on a CentOS 4.2 server following an upgrade to the latest version of SugarCRM (segfaults in Apache and some functions not working). Someone has just posted in the SugarCRM forums that they had exactly the same problems on CentOS 4.2 and they fixed them by upgrading from PHP 4.3.9 to 5.0.5. Being a more cautious chap, I'd like to try an upgrade to PHP 4.4.2 first but want to make sure I'm not entering a minefield with PHP as I can't find a friendly yum update so I would appreciate a heads-up on how best to go about it without screwing the whole thing up - I am reading through the notes on the PHP web site but would appreciate it if someone would outline exactly what rpms or binaries I need to install and/or compile. Assuming 4.4.2 doesn't fix things I will have to go for 5.0.5 so any advice on this would be appreciated as the last thing I want to do is lose use of SugarCRM completely! Thanks in advance.

RAID1: Changing / partition from 2 to 4 active devices
by Ugo Bellavance 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi, I have 4 disks and I want to have my swap, / (root), /boot on the 4 disks, RAID1. I successfully managed to get /boot and swap on the 4 disks, but I can't get / on the 4 disks. It is only on 2 right now. I cannot umount /, so how do I do that? Boot in rescue mode? RAID 5 is not an option for now. -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail. I read the list. -> Please avoid top-posting, long signatures and HTML, and cut the irrelevant parts in your replies.

RE: [CentOS] [Offtopic] tinydns -some help needed

> Sorry - I once was sold on the idea of djb's tools and Qmail, and I've > regretted installing it ever since. Save yourself some serious agony - run > (don't walk!) away from djb-ANYTHING! I don't know what problems you had with it, but I'm hapilly using it on about 20 servers (both djbdns and qmail) and never had a problem with it. I'll remember your advice when I'll encounter my first problem, though I may just as well read the docs again when that happens... :) --- I second the djb comment, the guy is an arrogant prick; if something doesn't compile on your server he thinks its your fault. (i.e. back when he was linking all of his software to the wrong error.h and you had to mod it to get it to compile). Not only is it not written that well; but qmail for example. You have to install another piece of software to control relay, and it is totally non intuitive in any way. As far as tinydns the idea of having to install a "control daemon" to run his software is kind of ridiculous to me. Bind really couldn't be any easier to use, and it works every time. -Drew

Interesting problem
by William Warren 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

A friend's machine just had his / partition goto zero percent free. This is an ext3 partition. Not an hour ago he had over 5 gigs free on an 8 gig partition. Any ideas where to look? The logs don't show anything unusual. -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

RE: [CentOS] Apache 2.x and php???

I think that book is out to lunch! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of rado Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 12:34 PM To: centos Subject: [CentOS] Apache 2.x and php??? hi! It seems like everytime I turn around lately, I'm opening up another can of worms and I sure don't like what I just read. this book: Setting Up Lamp (Getting Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP Working Together) Sybex/Wiley ISBN 0-7821-4337-7 Page 197 to quote "Which Version of Apache to Use": Choosing your Apache version is something that should be taken from the correct perspective. Apache 1.3 is proven to be stable and, most importantly, compatible with PHP. Apache 2.0 is stable; however, there have been multiple problems with PHP compatibility. Making Apache 2.0 and PHP work together is as predictable as flipping a coin. You will never know for sure whether the configuration will work properly and you might be faced with in-depth troubleshooting and problem solving trying to find out why they will not cooperate. >From our standpoint, we really hope that Apache 2.0 and PHP cooperate sooner rather than later because the features of Apache 2.0 look very promising. For this book, we will be going with the tried and true concept and use the Apache 1.3 series to avoid any heartache you might have due to different configurations and luck of the draw. ....end of quote... wow...this book is copyrighted(2004) if that makes any difference. I sure don't like the idea of going backwards w/Apache, since, although I don't use php but w/standard xhtml/css it has shown me no problems at all and I just don't like to even think in terms of doing what they suggest. But I want to hear from y'all on this. Do y'all find that these problems between Apache 2.0 and PHP are really that prominent as they have stated? Or, maybe I am wishful thinking here but I am hoping that some will reply that they have no problems whatsoever using the 2 together...instead...just go to this website and there is a good tutorial on this subject. lol thx in advance, John Rose _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
