Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to centos and having trouble upgrading java's jdk1.4 to jdk1.5. I assume I have to get the jdk from jpackage, but I'm having trouble locating it, let alone finding any instructions on how to upgrade. Much appreciated if anyone can help. Thanks!

pwc kernel module...
by Gilles CHAUVIN 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

Hi, I'm just curious about whether some people here were able to make their webcam work under CentOS 4 using the pwc module (with the stock kernel) ? Mine is a PCVC730K (ToUcam Fun) that I would like to connect to my private webserver but, as soon as I connect it, the system freeze (at least not the whole system but the current console, that's weird). Is there something particular to do to make it work or is it just impossible ? Thanks. Gilles.

Re: Fix passwd/shadow/group files? -- Samba is not an enterprise directory solution ...

Because it seems your department isn't aware of all your > interoperability options. I want to point out one thing. Understand Samba is a collection of services designed of and for CIFS/SMB. It is _not_ a complete "enterprise directory solution." Samba includes: - A Legacy Registry-SAM compatible password store - A Legacy NetBIOS-WINS naming service and protocol - A Legacy NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication protocol And then "wraps into" traditional UNIX services like UNIX resolver (DNS, NIS, NSSwitch, etc...), UNIX authentication (files, NIS, PAM, LDAP, etc...), etc... Newer versions of Samba 2.2 include: - MS ADS subset schema for LDAP (OpenLDAP often used) And Samba 3.0 also introduces: - SASL authentication with Kerberos stores (either MS ADS Kerberos or a MS'ized UNIX Kerberos client/KDC services). Samba strives to be a "drop in replacement" for a native Windows DC and file server, including naming (browser) and authentication. But you do _not_ have to use Windows-centric naming or authentication. You can build a network where you either are UNIX/Linux NsDS/OpenLDAP "tree'd" with or without Kerberos, possibly authenticating against native MS ADS DCs or even Samba emulating ADS DCs, or maybe using pGINA on the clients, or you can even have a completely segmented NsDS/OpenLDAP tree/network from native MS ADS network, and use some synchronization between the two. Samba itself is definitely _not_ a UNIX client designed service. And even if you have native MS ADS deployed, you should be running services on the DCs to present UNIX-like interfaces for authentication, naming, etc... on the server, not trying adhoc, manual, kludge in things. And if you're old MS CIFS/PDC, get off of it. Get your network to NsDS (now Red Hat Directory Server) before it's too late -- even if just for your UNIX portion. Or at least introduce 23+ year-old NIS for things. Golden Rule: The _client_ is always right. Always present the _native_ interfaces of the client OS from a server when it comes to: 1) naming 2) directory/store 3) authentication 4) file services Whether you are a true UNIX, e.g., DNS/NIS, NIS, hash, NFS (NIS) DNS/NIS, NIS, Kerberos, NFS (NIS-Kerberos) NIS+, NIS+, RSA, NFS (NIS+) DNS, LDAP, RSA, NFS (Sun One) DNS, LDAP, hash, NFS (LDAP) DNS, LDAP, SASL/Kerberos, NFS (LDAP-SASL/Kerberos) Or maybe a Windows, e.g., NetBIOS/WINS, SAM, NTLM, SMB (CIFS) DNS, MS LDAP, MS Kerberos, SMB (ADS) Or maybe even a Novell, e.g., SAP, Bindery, hash/RSA, NCP (Bindery) NLSP, X.500/DAP, RSA, NCP (NDS aka eDirectory) You should interface with your clients with what _they_ expect, not what your "back-end" is by default. -- Bryan J.

CentOS 4 post installation of all packages
by dan1 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello. I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed. I would like to install all packages exactly like it is when we click on 'install everything' from the CentOS 4 installation. Is there a way of doing so with 'yum install' something ? My goal is to have the exact replicate as the default CentOS 4 'install everything' option. I am in fear that there would be other packages installed than only the ones from the default CentOS install by typing 'yum install *' if this is possible. Thanks, Daniel

Nobody, including the OP (and very possibly the interviewer) is really sure what the interviewer meant. I don't think anybody has been a "smart ass"

Logitech Marble Mouse on CentOS 4
by Angelo Machils 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello there! I just bought this trackball and connected it to a CentOS 4 box. I googled on how to edit xorg.conf for the 2 scrollbuttons, and they work while using this section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" EndSection But then the left button is for scrolling up, and the right for scrolling down. How can I reverse this?? I have tried several sections from the internet, but most have the same result or don't work at all. Thanks in advance for any help and/or tips. Angelo

frozen centos 3 server
by Tom 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hi, Is there any way to reboot a server that I can't access via ssh, http, ftp or any port? But I can ping, traceroute & nmap it just fine. I have no idea what is causing this lockup or lock out, even after a reboot by the DC there's nothing in the logs to show what happened. :( regards tom
