USB DIsk and mount point
by Jesús García González 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hello. I use Centos 4.1 When I inserted my usb 2.0 disk for the first time it created the mount point /media/usbdisk just fine. Which I used to mount the disk. But as soon as I used it in another computer (winxp) when I took the usb back to centos the mount point had become /media/IOMEGA (yeah it's an iomega driver) but then as time goes by, the mount point every time the disk is used else where the mount point changes from /media/___________ to whatever other garble you can think of.... Now Executing a mount /media/_what_ever_is_today_ will mount the usb disk just fine without any problems. Why does the mount point changes so erratically??? J.

USB Disk
by James Pifer 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

I put a new server together with CentOS 4. This server is doing a number of functions including ntp, mail, and web server. I had a USB drive plugged in and it was working great. I could access it at /media/usbdisk and I copied lots of data to it. I felt the server was "complete" so I wanted to move it. I shut it down, moved it, etc. Everything is ok, except that I cannot access the usbdisk now. If I plug it into my laptop (FC4) I can access it without any problems. When I plug it into the server I get: Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: wakeup Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Vendor: WDC WD16 Model: 00JB-00GVA0 Rev: 0 0 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: SCSI device sdb: 312581808 512-byte hdwr sectors (160042 MB) Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: sdb: sdb1 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky kernel: Attached scsi generic sg3 at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Aug 30 15:47:22 porky scsi.agent[9209]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.2/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0 Aug 30 15:47:23 porky fstab-sync[9282]: added mount point /media/usbdisk for /dev/sdb1 Problem is when I go to /media/usbdisk there's nothing there.

install on a Dell4400 perc2 /DC
by peter v richards 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

I got fedora core 4 to install and show me the configured Raid drives. no mean trick let me tell you. However, the platform is unstable and hangs. I tried Centos 4.1 but the raid drives are not identified like most other distros. can i do anything from the fedora install that might allow me to install the centos distro. I would rather not have to go out and buy a new raid card. peter richards

pop before smtp
by Mark Quitoriano 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi! Im using postfix+postfixadmin+mysql+courier-imap i just implemented pop-before-smtp[1], my problem is after recieving the mails i connect to the server using telnet and try to send spam using the mail server it did send it didn't ask for authentication anymore. i'm not sure how this pop-before-smtp really works but i was thinking how should i secure the server in this kind of attacks.

yum custom install
by Todd Cary 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I am trying to learn some of the in's and out's of yum, and thanks to the help of many on this forum, things are beginning to make more sense (though I still have a lot more to learn). My initial Centos install was the "minimum". From there I used yum grouplist and yum installgroup. However, one of the members helped me with using yum to install php-mysql and I just found on this forum php-gd (which I installed). It appears one "just has to know about these packages" or have I missed something? Once I have an install that I like, can I save off the list of packages and use it the next time I do an install? Also, when I do a "yum list", I do not see the php-mysql or the php-gd listed. Am I looking at the incorrect list? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Semi-OT: OpenSource DRM server on CentOS?
by dan.trainor 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello, all - I understand that this is moderately OT, but hey, since I plan on running it on top of CentOS.... ;) Please bear with me. For our company's internal use of protected media, I have been asked to investigate any and all kinds of OpenSource DRM servers/services. I wouldn't imagine that (if this exists) an OpenSource DRM server daemon would exist on the stock CentOS release, but if such a beast does live, where might I find it? Anyone have any names, or sites that might list something such as this? Anyone have experience in this realm? Thanks! -dant

bind and bind-chroot
by Robert Hanson 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

greetings on a CentOS 4 _server_ install for a dns server rpm -qa | grep bind bind-9.2.4-2 bind-libs-9.2.4-2 bind-chroot-9.2.4-2 bind-utils-9.2.4-2 ypbind-1.17.2-3 rpm -qa | grep name caching-nameserver-7.3-3 ok, so i do this yum remove caching-nameserver and it is gone. now, do i need to leave bind-9.2.4-2 to use the bind-chroot-9.2.4-2 ??? or can i yum remove bind and still have a functional nameserver with only bind-chroot phg on there?? hopefully this makes sense. i was always so used to the old slackware ways of snag what you need, compile, config and go... thanks - rh -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net
