Re: [CentOS] mplayer repository for CentOS
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 21 May '05

21 May '05

From: Adrian Coman <adi.coman(a)gmail.com> > Is there a CentOS yum repository for mplayer&dependencies? From: Ralph Angenendt <ra+centos(a)br-online.de> > http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/> I'm kinda curious. I'm typically tapping the Livna.ORG archives for RHEL3Ux/CentOS3.x (Fedora Core 1 repository) and RHEL4Ux/CentOS4.x (Fedora Core 3 repository) for MPlayer and a number of other programs that Livna.ORG provides. Nothing against DAG, but I typically like to use Fedora Extras/Livna.ORG first, unless I can't find something or have an issue. Does anyone else do this as well, or is DAG the preferred option among most? -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Centos4 web hosting Control Panel
by Bob Pierce 21 May '05

21 May '05

I'm looking for a nice Open Source web hosting Control Panel. Is anybody using VHCS with Centos4? Any other suggestions for good control panels? We'd really prefer a panel with a MySQL backend for user settings and such. Bob Pierce Systems Analyst Westman Communications Group pierceb(a)westmancom.com

iptables port forwarding
by Mark Quitoriano 20 May '05

20 May '05

i'm having a problem viewing logs on forwarded ports from the firewall to another server, i forwarded mail(port 25) from the firewall to an internal server. The problem is when i try to view the logs it just shows the firewall ip as the sender and not the original sender. -- Regards, Mark Quitoriano, CCNA http://www.atamanetworks.com

CentOS 3 / tg3 driver on an HS20 Blade
by Brendon Colby 20 May '05

20 May '05

Greetings: I know it's been mentioned before that the tg3 driver in CentOS 3.4 is buggy. I had to revert to 3.4 today from 4 (fresh install) and now I have no link and thus no network. I'm wondering if this is caused by this bug and what the work-around is. Thanks. Brendon Colby

How NOT to have a disk recognized by grub?
by Michael 20 May '05

20 May '05

Greetings: I'm upgrading a fileserver running 3.4 (upgrade to a larger disk). I backed up the data from the "old" disk and slapped in a newer, larger disk and installed Centos-3.4. No problems. Now, there are some files on the "old" disk that I forgot to move to the back-up disk, so I'd like to mount the "old" disk as /dev/hdd and reboot the system and transfer the files [hdd (old disk) --> hda (new disk)]. However, the old disk still has Grub on the MBR and when I boot, the system tries to mount the "/boot" and "/" partitions from BOTH disks! I get errors about duplicate partitions and that those dups won't get mounted.The fileserver does boot but with a configuration combination of both systems. Question: Grub is correctly installed and configured on hda. How do I get the boot process to ignore the old disk (and MBR) on hdd??? I tried google but I can't seem to find this fix. Thanks, Michael Chinn

I haven't yet tried to > integrate either repo into CentOS 4. I've pretty much just stuck with FE+Lorg for RHEL3Ux/CentOS3.x (EL3) and RHEL4Ux/CentOS4.x (EL4) out of "default," because like yourself, I'm already using them with Fedora Core (I use FC1 for EL3, FC3 for EL4). It's just one of those things where I'm already doing configuration management of my FC systems and integrating in packages from FE (although not MPlayer or most of Lorg, for legal reasons in a corporate environment), so I'm just adopting the same for my EL systems as well. So at home, I do the same (only with more packages from Lorg too). But also like yourself, I have used DAG from time-to-time. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Oops, I guess I sent the wrong signal. First off, by far, DAG is going to be the most comprehensive. No way would I dispute that. Secondly, my preference for Fedora Extras/Livna.ORG is because of my experience with Fedora Core and "repository mixing." Nothing against DAG, how he manages to keep up, I have no idea, but I've had better luck with Fedora Extras/Livna.ORG in the past. Now I know many people view it as a catch-22 -- the Fedora Extra team seemed to "keep it itself" in the past, and didn't open up a lot of things. All while Red Hat expected the same level of regression testing on Fedora Extras without putting anyone really on it (and leaving it to the former U of Hawaii team). But as of January of this year, Red Hat has really opened up the formal submission process for including things in Fedora Extras, and put people on regression testing submissions. I'm thinking about submitting several of my own RPMs (e.g., IMAP). Which is why I personally prefer to use Fedora Extras/Livna.ORG by default. I only tap DAG when he clear super-set of packages has something that FE/Lorg doesn't. > The only thing I've installed from downloaded binaries has been Java > stuff, jdk, eclipse, tomcat, etc. And I like to install that stuff > manually anyway. Well, there are some serious licensing issues with some of that (like Java -- far more than "patent" ones), so that is expected. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: iptables port forwarding -- name resolution and not forwarding/routing?
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 20 May '05

From: Johnny Hughes <mailing-lists(a)hughesjr.com> > What I do is have an internal DNS server that does internal IPS for my > domain (it is listed as Primary, no secondaries, for my domain). > Internally, mail.hughesjr.com has the internal address .... externally > it real address. > Internal clients point to the internal DNS server (and internal IP) ... > external clients point to the external IP. Exactomundo. In many cases, it's not a fowarding/routing issue, but a name resolution issue. Private systems are resolving to public addresses, and you want to intercept those from ever reaching a public DNS server. That way you can replace the public name/IP everyone else sees with just the private name/IP that the private LAN should access. That means using private DNS servers and _only_ having the private systems resolving to them. Use "forwarder" and other DNS configuration on the private systems to do external resolution for the internal systems anyway. In addition to solving this issue, you get 2 additional benefits: - DNS cache pooling (all systems are resolving to 2-3 private DNS servers) - UDP/53 restriction (only allow UDP/53 through firewall to those 2-3 private DNS servers) -- Bryan J.

Re: [CentOS] RPM dependency graph?
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 20 May '05

20 May '05

From: Christian Nygaard <chris(a)math.uu.se> > Do people know of a tool to generate a visual RPM dependency > graph either in ASCII or with Graphics? Several came out from various Red Hat developers when the "shackles were taken off" and the Red Hat Rawhide team "had at it" with renamed Fedora Core 1 Test in removing years and years of built-up "inter-dependency hell." If you search the [now] Fedora Development lists from August-September 2003, you should see several of them. Some are CLI and some web (PHP?). You can even use them to build pre-assembled package lists for use in Anaconda -- which is really nice if CentOS wants to add its own installation types. E.g., I've always wanted to create a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC aka "key server") install that is rather a minimal package list. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
