CentOS VERY different than RHEL
by Mark A. Lewis 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Since we recently got a site agreement for RHEL at work, I have been using it more. It seems that CentOS 4 and RHEL 4 are very different. CentOS seems to come with newer packages and overall be a more polished distro. This afternoon I will compare some packages and versions. Is it just me? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Have been there, done that, and discovered the hard way that pam is pretty much superfluous to my application; nonetheless, it was an interesting journey.

anaconda in centOS 4 fails to read md raid arrays
by Feizhou 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Has anybody encountered this problem? I have a box that has FC2 installed. I wanted to trash the FC2 installation and install CentOS 4. I have a pxeboot/dhcp/kickstart environment and so I tried automatic disk partitioning (clear all partitions and then create new ones), manual disk partitioning but everything else is automated and finally, zero automation, just a manual installation through VNC. Once I reach a part that touchs disk, the process will stop and end up with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 789, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 171, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 239, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py", line 54, in partitionObjectsInitialize partitions.setFromDisk(diskset) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py", line 140, in setFromDisk diskset.startAllRaid() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 542, in startAllRaid DiskSet.mdList.extend(raid.startAllRaid(driveList)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 106, in startAllRaid mdList = scanForRaid(driveList) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 56, in scanForRaid (major, minor, raidSet, level, nrDisks, totalDisks, mdMinor) =\ File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 97, in raidsb return raidsbFromDevice("/tmp/md") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 103, in raidsbFromDevice rc = _isys.getraidsb(fd) SystemError: (5, 'Input/output error')

Need help with postgresql authentication set up
by James B. Byrne 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

OS - CentOS4 PostgreSQL = 8.0.3 I think that I need to locate a custom pam module to use in pg_hba.conf that will allow phpPgAdmin to authenticate users against /etc/password (shadow). I cannot seem to find a straight forward reference to such a beast either in the documentation or on the web. The pam modules that I have found through google seem to be intended to allow one to authenticate against a pg database rather than designed to allow postmast to authenticate users against unix. pam_unix modules do not seem work perhaps because postmast runs as user postgres and this user does not posses sufficient authority to access /etc/passwd etc. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

apple to Intel
by William Warren 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

I am wondering what the list's opinion is on the Apple to Intel switch. This is going to put a slick desktop that runs on top of BSD directly into the mainstream. What does this hold for Linux in general, Linux on the desktop..and microsoft. -- Computer House Calls, Networks, Security, Web Design: http://www.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com What businesses are in Brunswick, Maryland?
