Donations again
by Collins Richey 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

I sent this request to one of the principals, but got no response, so I'll ask again on list. Others may well be interested. I would love to donate to CentOS, but I refuse to deal with PayPal. PayPal works well if your email address and/or credit card information never change, but it's a complete snakepit if you don't have constant information. Can you post a mailing address and payto name so that I can mail in a check? -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.

Does anyone know how to skip the initial splash screen (the one before kde/gnome) and automatically login on a user? Thanks

New Server donation - Thanks :)
by Johnny Hughes 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

I would like to inform the CentOS user community that we have received a nice new server donation from XpressAccess Web Hosting ( http://xpressaccess.com/ ). I would like to thank XpressAccess and Dwight for working with us to get this server up and running. If you need to host a domain, why not check out XpressAccess, or one of our other donors ( http://www.centos.org/mirrors/ ), most of which are hosting providers. If you would like to donate a server to the CentOS project, please contact us at donate_at_centos.org. Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS-4 Lead Developer

Found the answer!!!>>[Fwd: [CentOS] Error when clicking on link>>text error correction]
by Dick Roth 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

In FC2, I had installed both Firefox and Thunderbird from Mozilla.org. They were not "resident" as part of the distro. With CentOS4, they are "standard" features. After I adjusted "Preferred Applications" applet to accommodate the change of locations, all started working properly. Thanks for allowing me to take up space and bandwidth.

Good Morning-- Since installing CentOS4 the other day, I've had trouble with Thunderbird 1.02 when attempting to click on a link within an email. Rather than opening a tab in Firefox 1.0.4, I get an error message: "Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location." When I installed CentOS, I left my home directory intact so I would have to re-option apps I had already been using. Has anyone else had this problem...and found a cure?

IP Problems - Address won't stick on reboots!
by Scott Heisler 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Centos 4.0 P4 Dual Xeon 2gig Ram One 100mb NIC The problem is that the nic won't hold a fixed IP address. What I mean is that if I refresh it, after booting up by typing "ifdown eth0" and then "ifup eth0" - it then reflects the correct IP address. However, it won't 'have' and IP address upon boot. Also, it seems to hang on the logger service starting up. It sits there attempting to start logger for like 3-4 minutes (timed!). I suspect this problem is most likely related to the IP problem. I've tried moving the network connection to a dedicated HUB and still no luck. What is the correct config file to edit to set the IP address correctly? I tried editing the one in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts - but that didn't fix my problem. Thanks. Scott

The file to edit is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 It should look something like this. You should edit it with your settings DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xx.255 HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IPADDR=xxx.xx.xx.xxx NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xx.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet Thom van der Boon E-Mail: Thom.van.der.Boon(a)vdb.nl ===== Thom.H. van der Boon b.v.

Re: [CentOS] WEP and CentOS 4

From: Maciej ?enczykowski <maze(a)cela.pl> > Hey, > Don't bother with it, WEP can be broken (cracked) in 5 minutes > (with easily available and freely downloadable soft) and in my > experience all WEP really achieves is slows down the link (my > 2xIWE1100 bridge runs at 550kB/s without WEP and 100kB/s with WEP). The idea, as always, is to make yourself a smaller target than the next guy. As always, standard: - No SSID broadcast - No Open System access - MAC filtering - WEP - Always VPN Use WPA/802.1x if you've got it. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
