x windows setting up laptop external monitor at different resolution than LCD
by Jerry Geis 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

I need to setup my laptop external monitor at 1366x768 while my LCD is only 1024x768. Is this done by dual head selections in the display configuration? How is that accomplished? Thanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] SELinux threads, cynicism, one-upmanship, etc.
by Brian T. Brunner 22 Nov '05

Thanks, Mike. What I read is that SELinux is still 'beta', and while the need for good security is decades old, we (CentOS/RHEL folks) should not be presumed to be willing beta testers. "Enabled by default" presumes I'm willing.

Yes, but when the box gets cracked _because_ they are using the latest new thing their distribution added under the guise of increased security, as happened with ssh a while back, it also produces the attitude that new stuff should soak a long, long while in a distribution like fedora before going onto production boxes. You want to at least wait until the surprises stop - and I take the flurry of reports of broken apps at every update as an indication that they haven't stopped yet. Your analogy to a weapon was a good one. When the experts tuning the distribution still can't keep it from blowing up in peoples's faces some of the time, normal people should keep their distance. When the fedora and Centos lists go several months without a mysterious app failure caused by SELinux it will be time to reconsider. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

ISCSI and restarting the network
by Robin Mordasiewicz 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Is there a config file somewhere which I can edit which will automatically kill a specified process, and unmount a filesystem which is mounted over iscsi before shutting down the network, and then after the network is started to mount the iscsi mount point. This is my /etc/fstab and the "/IMAP" device is the iscsi device </etc/fstab> LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=/IMAP /opt/test ext3 _netdev 0 0

Well, hughesjr, I'm using the *default* meaning of "default": You'll get SELinux "on" on install if you don't take action to select it off. Automagic partitioning is also default, you have to take action to get into DiskDruid.

I disagree ... to me enabled by default would be like the core and base default packages .... they are turned on, and one can not turn them off. They are enabled by default, whether you need them or not. SELinux would be enabled by default if it were turned on that way. ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
