Hi there --- for some reason I am getting really weird keyboard behavior on the CLI (no xfs or anything running). Centos 4.4 yummed up.
For example if i type "root" to login, I get "rot" or sometimes "roooooot". Then other times I will have to press a key like 3 times to get a double character.
Now at first I thought maybe it was the keyboard, but it seems to work fine when within gnome.
In all honesty I think i just have to get a different keyboard, but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with something like this (before I returned it) and a way to fix for the CLI. I have tried the kbdrate command.
The keyboard is a wireless belkin with a usb connection.
Thanks in advance.

There was a similar problem reported in a past thread "Cool 'n Quiet".

Have a read through that thread, see if it helps.

I will give that a go once I am at the machine again - this was on one of my home systems, so Will give it a go tonight.
Thanks for the link!

Gave this one a go - but it did not help.
Thanks for the link though!

Acts the same with a different keyboard? If so, is there a possibility that multiple processes are reading the keyboard at the same time? This can cause apparent losses when a bg process with, e.g. &>somelogfile has an interaction with user. You never see prompt, but it sucks a few characters up.

Is it a "windows" keyboard? I have a wireless multi-media that needed some adjustment with setkeys to get rid of aggravating messages. Check the /var/log/message and see if there is anything helpful there.

Thanks in advance.

That was one of my next steps to try tonight (diff keyboard).

Yeah it is a "windows" keyboard. I have never had an issue in the past, however this very well could be it. I will read up on setkeys when i get back to is as well.
Thanks much for the pointers. MUCH appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Are there any yum-installable ftpd packages that support LDAP authentication? Compiling from source is really kicking my rump.
CentOS 4.4 latest here-- any other information I can provide I gladly will.

Hello everybody,
I'm new to this list, did you give a try to pure-ftpd? you could auth with native Linux users, LDAP, MySQL, PGSQL, puredb format, and so on, with enough security and stability
Cheers,

NP. It's when you notice the days you *don't* question it that you are in deep .... trouble. You argue with yourself and lose the argument, etc.
