Restricting ftp users to their directory
by Todd Cary 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Currently, a users directory is owned by the user and the group is ftp. The permissions are 775. In reading the MAN pages for vsftp, I do not see any other ways to retrict the user from just being able to view their won directory and the sub-dirs. Am I going wrong here?

Whoever added the SCSI controller to the system should be able to tell you Brand/Model of the card and also the chipset used by the controller. This info will help you identify which SCSI module to load. IMO, this is your fastest way to solve the problem. If your SCSI card happens to be supported by Linux (see hardware compatibility list) then you know the card is dead. 2. Also, if this SCSI controller has a BIOS, then at boot time you should be able to invoke the SCSI devices configuration and see if the tape device is listed. It is an indication that the tape unit and the SCSI card have established communication. HTH -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

Posting Messages to this list

All, This list is a "Members Only" posting list ... this is good because it prevents us from getting hundreds of Viagra commercials and such. You can only post to the list with the e-mail address that you subscribed with. If you post from another e-mail address, it will tell you that "Your post needs to be approved by a Moderator." I just want to tell everyone that I normally _DO_NOT_ approve these posts to the list. It has nothing to do with the post not being good or me not liking you or your post :) What it does have to do with is SPAM. We get hundreds of e-mails per day to each list as SPAM, and it would take several hours each day to touch each every e-mail from a non-member and verify it was relevant and not spam. I am sorry, but I just don't have time to do this. If you post to a CentOS mailing list and you get one of those messages, you should repost your comments using the correct e-mail address that you subscribed with. You do not need to worry about removing the old post, as I will delete it along with all the others. Sorry for the inconvenience, Johnny Hughes

CentOS 4.1 - 'Older' JVM Issues
by Tom Brown 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hi Just installing a machine to replace our dev server. Currently the dev server runs many different JVM versions depending on the app the developer is working on. Some of these require older versions of java. Newer versions work fine out of the box, eg 1.4.x however i'm running into the following issue when trying to run apps against 1.3.1_02 which i have to be able to run on this box Unable to load native library: /export/disk1/opt/jdk1.3.1_02/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference anyone know any workarounds? thanks

Racoonctl tool under Centos4
by carlopmart＠gmail.com 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hi all, We have established several VPN tunnels between two centos4 firewalls and all works OK. But racoonctl tool returns (command used: racoonctl show-sa esp) every time this error: 08000000 18c09109 racoonctl: connect: No such file or directory. This error is produced when /var/racoon/racoon.sock file doesn't exists. I will try to put "adminsok enabled" and "adminsock /var/racoon/racoon.sock" params on racoon.conf whitout success. Is it possible to fix this?. Thank you very much. -- CL Martinez carlopmart at gmail dot com

You can run "dmesg" after the modprobe to see the results of the module being loaded. If you see something along the lines of SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 <Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs You'll know it loaded. Of course youse will make reference to Initio, not Adaptec, but you get the idea. If that works, then you should be able to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias scsi_hostadapter initio If that doesn't work, you'll have to track down the right module for your card.

Jim- If you run kudzu (Redhat's hardware config utility) by hand as root, does it see the card and attempt to configure it? kudzu should generate the proper magic in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and in /etc/modprobe.conf. Based on a quick google, this should be supported by the initio module. If kudzu fails to do the magic, try modprobe initio You could also add an entry to /etc/modprobe.conf alias scsi_hostadapter initio modprobe scsi_hostadapter -- Sean
