mplayer, mplayerplug and w32codec are the packages you need.
Also, you should be able to install realplayer for some extra work.
That should take care of all your needs.
You will need Dag's repository for mplayer and mplayerplug, and w32codec is a nosrc.rpm package, so you will need to read the README file to get the source yourself, and then rebuild the package (or simply install the codecs manually).
Best Regards,

The mplayer that Dag offer does not has the prebuild codec pack, thus, i installed them(mplayer and mplayer-codecs) manually from greysectors.net. However, greysector does not have mplayerplug. Anyway, even i installed mplayerplug(in fedora 4), i still can not see the embed media.

Couple things - Please don't top post in emails. It's not proper. see http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html
As to your issue, some things cannot legally be distributed because of sketchy copyright law, patent issues etc. Packaged w32codec packs are one of these and the legal issues aren't worth the risk of distributing them. However dag has made it very easy to build the package yourself, or you can just get them and put them in place by hand. I have never heard of greysectors.net, and cannot speak to the quality of their packages, but dag is quite good, and is involved in the centos community.

The problem with bottom posting is that a lot (most) people don't pay any attention to the 4th line of you link you point to below. We have to scroll through page after page of old postings to get the new information. I'm quoting that line below (the bold is mine):
"In addition to bottom-posting, it is customary to leave out non-relevant parts of the message with regard to the reply, and to put the reply directly beneath the quoted relevant parts."

When post in the relevant places, you don't have to move to the top and the bottom of the e-mail to see the other things that post pertains too ... the entire message flows from top to bottom. (Exactly the way you would expect any document too)
ALSO IMPORTANT ... don't post to the mailing list with HTML enabled in the posts ... this screws up the web enabled archives .... and causes people who read their e-mail as text (orc_orc comes to mind :) to not be able to read the mail at all.

Hey there,
Would anyone care to help me out on where to go for configuring vsftpd for passive ftp transfer? im pretty sure that I will have to enable a rule in the firewall..am I right?
Try adding ip_nat_ftp to the list of autoloaded modules
# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config | grep ip_nat_ftp IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_nat_ftp"
And restarting the firewall # /etc/init.d/iptables condrestart
Cheers, MaZe.

Well autoloading ip_nat_ftp, also loads ip_conntrack_ftp (since ip_nat_ftp requires it) which means the ftp connection tracker helper is loaded which means ftp data connections will be considered RELATED connections by the netfilter stateful firewall. Assuming you have a normal iptables setup of allowing RELATED and ESTABLISHED connections then it will 'just work'.
What will happen is the normal control connection to the FTP port will be allowed in by a normal -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ftp -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT rule, and the resulting passive/active data connections will be let in automagically by being RELATED (as determined by the ip_conntrack_ftp kernel module) to the already ACCEPTED ftp control connection, and thus the -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT rule will let the connection through.
Please note, that you only need ip_nat_ftp if you're doing NAT, if not then you can replace ip_nat_ftp with ip_conntrack_ftp in my suggestion (which will save the kernel from having to load all NAT related netfilter stuff).
Please also note that allowing RELATED connections in through a firewall isn't quite perfectly secure but is (still) the standard way of doing things (without it is a good deal more trouble and IMHO usually not really quire worth the effort).
vsftpd should allow passive connections by default and port numbers are no longer important (the RELATED magic should take care of it).
Assuming your vsftpd server is already working that should be it...
Cheers, MaZe.

There are a couple things you need to do.
1. In your vsftpd.conf set the pasv_min_port and pasv_max_port values. This should be in a range, and for home systems with only a couple users is fine at around 5-10 ports. These ports need to be over 1024. example: 1025-1035
2. enable ftp_conntrack in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config
3. Edit firewall rules to taste, allowing for connection tracking and keeping your 5-10 port range open.
Technically with connection tracking you shouldn't need the port range open in iptables, but I've seen some wierdness with it timing things out occasionally. having both is belt& suspenders, but it works. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center

I so far haven't found a way to get KMail (I'm NOT using Outlook!) to post in text mode only for this (and other lists). On my old system, RH7.2, I had it set, but this CentOS system is still new and I can't find a way to set it. Also, the address book dosn't have a place to set Text only entry for contacts.
Also, I tried to start a new thread for this when I first replyed, but couldn't find a way.
Funny. I'm using KMail on Fedora C3, and have been using the same install since RedHat 6.2. (by copying over the /home directory)
Perhaps its some obscure setting buried in ~/.kde or something, but I've never had a problem with KDE posting in "text mode only" - it's only ever done that. But, here's what's funny - I just now hunted around and found the "HTML Toolbar" in the "Tools" menu, enabled it for a second, and now whenever I lead a line with a "-", it sticks in a bullet...
Hope it hasn't screwed me up forever....

Not if you properly leave out non-relevant message parts.

I'm verbose in e-mail. That's the side effect of being a writer -- both technical and non-technical (although that's not under my real name). Especially the non-technical composition, which preaches colorful use of verbs, indirect phrases, etc... There's nothing wrong with direct statements.
At the same time, there is something to be said for someone who details something from start-to-finish -- answering just about any question anyone might have. I do it for the original poster, maybe 1-2 other people at the most -- which means the overwhelming majority of the list doesn't appreciate it, and many find it "insulting" like I'm "talking down to them." That's the difference between knowing a group in e-mail and knowing someone in-person -- in-person, you can quickly gage what the level of familiarity of the person you are conversing with. Even for groups, you know the audience of the group -- whereas a list is all over the place (especially for a single list).
Also, this list is archived, and it shows up in Google -- and I get those thanks almost daily. ;->
generally cordial demeanor in email, blog, etc.
Of course, I'm the dude with the 'tude in e-mail, blog, etc... I write e-mail/blog entries at 45 wpm (I literally pumped out a 7,000 word in under 3 hours).
If you want professional writing, then you'll find my "net 5 wpm" in CMP Media and MacMillan publications. I'm sure my writing style even in technical publications, a by-product of non-technical composition education, effects my clarity when I'm cranking out 45 wpm like here.
Always willing to throw gas on the man with the lit match
At 45 wpm, you get the raw BS, without the benefit of body language, tone, etc... that often results in things being taken the wrong way and quite as unintented. But yes, I need to work on making sure I don't do that in e-mail.
Here's to joking and hoping that Bryan doesn't own firearms.....
In know it was a joke, but seriously, why would I pull a gun or do anything to you off-list?
Despite the fact that many people have taken things outside the lists in my time, I've always been there to help people in-person -- even those people who hate me and use every avenue to discredit me. My absolute all-time biggest critic has been a person I've saved regularly over many, many years in his in-person, professional life. But eventually I realized, as others did, that the more you help him, the more he feels the need to discredit you in public to save his own face.

Hi Bryan, Well, it looks like I have managed to piss off everyone in just a few postings and got my self black listed already!
