Re: Hardware RAID Controller -- Risers and 66+MHz ...

From: Lee W <centos-list(a)unassemble.co.uk> > Shouldn't be a problem as it's probably going in a 1U Rack case > with a Riser/extender card. Be sure to hit the 3Ware site to read about _incompatible_ risers! At 66+MHz PCI/PCI-X signaling, many cards/risers have issues. Many are only designed for 33MHz. -- Bryan J.

In addition to the password considerations, I recommend the following. 1) Disable SSH v1 access 2) Disable all authentication, including password authentication, except public key authentication. 3) Generate all public keys with passphrases. Alternatively, if you have either a UNIX Kerberos realm, or you are already synchronizing UNIX and ADS authentication, consider Kerberos authentication instead (e.g., one-way ADS trust, if you are are already using ADS for authentication of UNIX). Otherwise, public key would be far better than password authentication. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

WIFI
by cents＠samson-solutions.ca 12 May '05

Does anyone know of an easy to install/use WIFI PCMCIA card for Linux. I am currently running Cent OS 4.0 on my laptop and I have a D-Link DWL-G650 Ver B which will run off of the madwifi Beta drivers. Now I know I can get this to work but I would feel a little better using software that is in production development. Any suggestions and input would be helpful on my new card purchase. The card should be able to run 802.11G/B and be compatible with most of the airsnort type tools. This will be used for wireless troubleshooting, site surveys etc. Thanks Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through Horde-Toaster (http://qmailtoaster.clikka.com/)

Hardware RAID Controller
by Lee W 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hi Everyone, Has anyone had any experience of using the Promise FastTrak SX4000 or SuperTrak SX6000 IDE RAID Controllers under Centos (if it matters I'm using version 4). I've seen it listed on linuxcompatible.org as working but would prefer to find out any first-hand experince before I buy. I'm looking to build a new mini server based on Mini-ITX and have found a great 1U case that support upto 4 IDE drives. It would be good to muck around with hardware RAID. If not, can anyone suggest another make of RAID Controller that will support upto 4 IDE RAIDS (preferably with support for RAID 5). And is also available in the UK. Thanks in advance. Regards Lee

It's very flexible allowing you to create secure, yet pronounceable passwords that are easy to remember, as well as completely random passwords using special symbols and mixed case. http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/ -- Marc

Unsupported Kernel for X86_64 and i386
by Johnny Hughes 12 May '05

12 May '05

All, There have been many requests for added kernel features that the upstream provider left out of the standard kernel. (ReiserFS, Video4Linux, Firewire support, XFS, NTFS, JFS, etc.). We want the main release CDs to contain a standard kernel for compatibility and stability reasons. CentOS is created as a clone, and it needs to be as close as possible to the upstream distro. That being said, the 2.6.9 kernel has lots of features that are not turned on in the default kernel. Until now the answer has been ... if you want that, you must make recompile the kernel yourself. Well ... now there is another option for x86_64 and i386. I have created an unsupported kernel for the CentOS-4 i386 and x86_64 distros. It is in the CentOS-Plus repository and is the latest released CentOS-4 Kernel (currently 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL), with the configuration files modified to turn on optional modules. It is called: kernel-2.6.9-5.0.5.106.unsupported Turned on (as kernel modules) are the following: NTFS XFS JFS ReiserFS UFS (FreeBSD default file system ... Read Only) BeOS (Read Only) Video4Linux and all supported cards (including Video, Audio, Radio and DVB) all Video Cards all Alsa Sound Cards Support for AppleTalk and DECNET ----------------------- I am running this kernel on 5 machines for testing and have had no problems ... but it is NOT officially supported by CentOS {even less than the other stuff :)} You should evaluate whether you want to use this kernel ... and you should test it appropriately prior to putting it on any important machines :) We are also working on a Single CD version of CentOS-4 (similar to the CentOS-3.4 Server ISO). This CD will have as much stuff as we can fit on a single CD that can be used to set up a server (no X though). All other programs will be available via the standard CentOS repositories using the "yum groupinstall" feature. It is my plan to take that CentOS-4 Single Server Edition CD as a template and make one (called Single Server unsupported) that will boot with this kernel (and contain XFS tools, JFS tools, ReiserFS tools) so that people who know how can install reisferfs, XFS, or JFS partitions via the command line at install time. If you are going to use this kernel, you need to enable the CentOS-Plus repo from your chosen install method ... for yum, you can do it via the command line: yum --enablerepo=centosplus install kernel The tools for XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS are also now in the CentOS-Plus repository. This should make CentOS a more robust desktop solution :) Some notes: I will update this kernel after normal kernel updates have been completed, it may be a day or 2 later. So if you are using features of this kernel (like ReiserFS, XFS, etc.) then you may want to turn off auto kernel updates, as a new version of the main kernel will be installed when available. You can do this in Up2date, yum and apt inside the config files. You can also get it via http from your favorite CentOS mirror in the CentOS-Plus repository or from here (i386): http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/i386/RPMS/ or here (x86_64): http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/x86_64/RPMS/ Source RPM is here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/SRPMS/ Enjoy, Johnny Hughes

RE: [CentOS] Hewlett Packard Server support packs
by Mark A. Lewis 12 May '05

12 May '05

I recently spent 2 days fighting with a bug in CentOS 4 relating to the PSP for RHEL4. I am still putting the details together, but there is definitely a bug that impacts the Qlogic 2214 HBA driver under CentOS 4, but not RHEL 4. That being said, I was able to install PSPs on a DL580 G2 under Centos 3 and 4 by changing redhat/centos-release. > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org > [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Chris Hammond > Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 12:40 PM > To: CentOS mailing list > Subject: [CentOS] Hewlett Packard Server support packs > > I am trying to install the HP PSP on a CentOS 3.4 server but > it keeps telling me, only on certain rpms mind you, that the > OS is not supported.
