Re: [CentOS-es] Problema Squid y Iptables

2008-07-01 Thread Walter Cervini
Una pequeña critica constructiva, sin animos de ofender.
Lo que te puedo recomendar, es que la ultima regla de cada una de las
cadenas de iptables sea drop o reject . Por otro lado tienes reglas de mas,
como el caso de forward en squid, squid es un servicio local de tu GW por
ende solo tienes que usar reglas en INPUT y OUTPUT. Otra recomendacion es
que si tienes una regla doble para cada una de las redes elimines el origen
como por ejemplo
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/25 -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/25 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80
-j ACCEPT
de esta manera se asume que como es una nueva peticion venga de la LAN

otra cosa, como primera regla podria
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
esto evita volver a leer todas las reglas de filtrado, se supone que ya paso
por algunas de las reglas y no debes volver a consultarlas

2008/7/1 Aland Laines [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


 bueno otra ves molestandolos, el problema que tengo es que tengo dos redes
 en el instituto ambas salen por un centos 5.1 con nat y squid transparente,
 el problema esta en que la red 192.168.1.0 navega de manera normal, pero
 la la red 192.168.2.0 navega pero no pueden loguearse en gmail ni en
 hotmail, cosa que si puede el primer rango, ya probe haciendo el flush de
 reglas e insertarlas de nuevo pero aun asi, lo raro es que estuvo todo
 funcionando bien con el centos 5 que tenia el squid 2.5 y ahora es el 2.6 ,
 les pongo mis scripts de iptables y el de squid para que me den alguna pista
 o la manera de mejorar ambos, (en iptables ando medio perdido pero al menos
 pude hacer ese script con modelos de la web).

[CentOS-es] Problema al crear usuario

Saludos hermanos.

Tengo un problema acá, y es que cuando creo un usuario con el comando
useradd (también con adduser) no se crea el archivo correspondiente en
/var/spool/mail.

Revisé los logs y no encuentro nada. Miré tanto el archivo
/etc/default/useradd, el /etc/login.defs entre otros y nada.

¿Qué creen que puede estar pasando?

Hola Hector:

 Tengo un problema acá, y es que cuando creo un usuario con el comando
 useradd (también con adduser) no se crea el archivo correspondiente en
 /var/spool/mail.
Esto puede parecerte un chiste pero te lo pregunto en serio. Una vez
creado el usuario, le enviastes algun correo? (useradd pepe ; mail
pepe)
El fichero /var/spool/mail/pepe se crea cuando el usuario pepe recibe
un correo, de manera predeterminada ahi no debiera haber nada.
De todas maneras, abre otra consola y haz un tail -f /var/log/maillog
antes de mandar el mail para que revises que hace el sendmail (o
postfix) por si el error viene por otro lado.

Re: [CentOS-es] Arrancar Samba

2008-07-01 Thread carlos restrepo
Rodrigo.

Sigue estos pasos:

1. Verifica que la carpeta operador03 tenga full permisos  (chmod 777
/home/operador03).

2. Edita /etc/samba/smb.conf y al final del archivo escribe las siguientes
lineas.

*[Operador03]
path = /home/operador03
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
*
3. Reinicia el servicio samba  (/etc/init.d/smb restart  0 /sbin/service smb
restart).


Con la configuración del punto No. 2, cualquier usuario puede acceder a esa
carpeta (esto lo haces para verificar que puedas acceder a ella), si te
funciona le retiras ***public = yes  *y colocas en su lugar ***valid
users = operador03.
*
Rodrigo, con que usuario ingresas desde el windows para acceder a la carpeta
/home/operador03 en el centos?. cuando colocas la directiva valid users
debes ingresar con el usuario operador03 desde el windows.


Saludos.

This raises an interesting question. What do you do in this kind of 
scenario? How do you upgrade a NAS / SAN with say 5 / 10 TB worth of 
data?


I haven't done anything that big, but I normally put the OS on a small 
mirrored pair of swappable drives so an upgrade consists of swapping 
those drives with a new set pre-installed in a spare chassis.  That 
way you are only down for the time it takes to reboot and if anything 
goes wrong you can put the old set back.  In any case you wouldn't be 
doing anything to the data partitions in an upgrade.



ok, so in your setup the OS is totally separate from the data itself?

So, I guess I need to rethink my setup. Since I have a 2U chassis, which 
can only take 6 drives, I guess I should maybe look into running the OS 
from a USB memory stick or something.

indeed, almost all my servers are setup this way, too.   A pair of 
smaller disks, 36GB or 80GB are mirrored for the OS and software, then 
populate the rest with large disks in raid10  or raid5 for whatever task

A _sane_ delivery agent would definately return a temporary error (4xx)
either to it's own internal queue, or return the error to the connecting MTA.
The mail would in that case survive for a queueing period which is
usually 5 to 7 days.

But, when it comes to procmail, it might depend on your invocation:

PROCMAIL(1) 
   On general failure procmail will return EX_CANTCREAT, unless
option -t is specified, in which case it will return EX_TEMPFAIL.


Are you using sendmail or some other mda?


Investigating sendmail source you'll find:

./sendmail/sysexits.h:
 *  EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be
 *  created.

 *  EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
 *  is not really an error.  In sendmail, this means
 *  that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
 *  and the request should be reattempted later.

./sendmail/deliver.c:

  case EX_NOINPUT:
  case EX_CANTCREAT:
  case EX_NOPERM:
status = 5.3.0;
break;

Unfortunately, for you, if -t was left out, it would mean a 5xx error code
- permanent error - and a /dev/null of your email.

It has (only just) spawned from a non-open, non-free system (RHN  
satellite) so it was easy to only use one database, so why wouldn't  
they use Oracle?


They plan to make it work with Pg, MySQL, etc.

Oracle XE is free and will work with Spacewalk but there's a few bugs  
which exist in this environment.

You need mod_proxy_html, but unfortunately it's a third party module, and as

RE: [CentOS] Spacewalk from Redhat

2008-07-01 Thread Geoff Galitz


Maybe this will answer your question in regards to database choice (directly
from the wiki FAQ):

-

Spacewalk Architecture
Why do you use Oracle? Any plans for supporting other databases? 

Originally the Spacewalk code base was used as a hosted application and
Oracle was a good choice for a hosted application in 2001. Over the years
open source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL have improved
tremendously in terms of stability, speed, and scalability. We have not had
the resources allocated in the past to add support for an open source
database but want to do so soon. 

What if I don't have Oracle? 
See the instructions here for information about the XE version:
OracleXeSetup 

--

IOW, you can get an Oracle instance (apparently) for free to support
Spacewalk.

 Does lspci list your soundcard? If you have a super long list and

 work for you, it does for me however) lspci | grep audio
 
 If I recall you're using gnome. You should (but may not) have a 
 volume icon on your panel. Right click that icon and ensure that the 
 mute box is not checked. If it's not checked, select Open Volume 
 Control and make sure your volume is turned up. If you still do not 
 have sound try right clicking the volume speaker icon again and 
 selecting Preferences. Make sure that the correct device is selected.

Be aware that the volume control panel default settings may not show all
the pertinent controls. In that panel you may need to edit preferences
to show such things as PCM control, etc. Some of these may also be muted

[CentOS] self Certificate Authority, using /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA

2008-07-01 Thread David Hláčik
Hello all,

lately i am facing problems with Certification Authorities.
I have used centos script /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA my own certificate authority.
In next steps i am generating requests for certificates to services such as
LDAP,NNRPD and lately signing requests with CA. My approach is to import my
own CA into Windows Vista OS as root CA and trusted, to avoid messages in
clients such as certificate could not be verified, certificate is not
signed or cerficate authority cannot be verified.

When i asked for help at openssl mailinglist i have recieved interesting
answer :

Just make sure your certificate is actually one son of your CA.

 It is right To make one CA cert with the 509 extensions set to CA
X509v3 Basic Constraints:
CA:TRUE
X509v3 Key Usage:
Certificate Sign, CRL Sign
Netscape Cert Type:
SSL CA, S/MIME CA

 But it is a mistake to make the son as ANOTHER SELF SIGNED cert with
 those
 extensions not set as CA
 X509v3 extensions:
X509v3 Basic Constraints:
CA:FALSE
Netscape Cert Type:
SSL Client, SSL Server, S/MIME, Object Signing
X509v3 Key Usage:
Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key Encipherment
Netscape Comment:

 I know of important companies doing this mistake.
 The second cert has to be one SIGNED by the first CA authority, not a
 selfsigned one with CA fields off of false.
 Said in other words: the second cert is the result or output of a CSR
 (certificate signing request) signed by the CA cert.


Yes, that is true, so why this is not so in case of  /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA .
All my generated server certificates signed with own CA, using this script
have :

X509v3 extensions:
 X509v3 Basic Constraints:
 CA:FALSE
 Netscape Comment:
 OpenSSL Generated Certificate
 X509v3 Subject Key Identifier:
 CC:FC:A1:2D:DE:CD:D1:9E:34:F3:89:08:F9:D6:30:79:AF:EE:6B:94
 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier:

 Just to re-verify the issue, I rebooted back to the above kernel and
 this time Samba starts right up no problem!

 I had tried this earlier and it did not.  I'll have to keep an eye on
 it over time and see if the behavior changes again.

Just as a follow up, after a reboot (without any updates) the network

 These businesses have computing facilities for the

We are an Australian company and we only ship to within Australia so

This strategy is probably most useful when you have several machines

generally use smaller disks for the 1st pair, but if there is extra 
space you can use it for something that changes slowly enough that you 
would be able to rsync it over to the replacement before the swap.  The 
main thing is to not include the OS drives in LVM or RAID0 with the

This is clearly a delicate subject.  As someone pointed out, if the
nature of your business does not lend itself to business transactions
from other countries, then it should not negatively impact a potential
legitimate customer from that range of IP from doing business with you
because it would never happen.  A friend of mine has an automotive
repair shop (who's business would only come from area residents) and
sells tires.  He once received a call from someone from outside the
country looking to purchase 4 tires (some of the higher end ones) and
have them shipped.  It was a stolen credit card and he pretty much
knew that so never processed the order.  An employee might not have
been as alert or as diligent and might have processed it.  This could
have just as easily been via email.  Point is in his case if his
business does not lend itself to having customers or suppliers
originating from a particular geographical area, then blocking
anything from that geographical area would not impact him or a
legitimate customer.  No harm, no foul.  It would protect his business
from potential scam activity from outside his area (if it comes from
within, then hopefully it wasn't someone going through a proxy so
therefore hopefully someone within the reach of the long arm of the
law).

Someone pointed out that 100% of the traffic they receive from Africa
are scams.  That does not mean that 100% of all the traffic
originating from Africa are scams.  There is a difference.  In the
first instance it's 100% of the traffic that THEY receive whereas in
the second case it's 100% of ALL traffic (including the millions of
messages floating out there that the person who made that statement
DOES NOT receive).  However it lends great support to the argument.
His business no doubt does not lend itself to having customers from
that part of the world.  Therefore he would never see legitimate
traffic coming from there as legitimate individuals from there would
have no reason to seek to do business from there.  So the only traffic
he sees (hence 100% of the traffic he sees) originating from there are
scams because only the scammers from Africa would have reason to seek

A business in Africa with no business ties to North America (hence
would see no emails from customers or suppliers coming from North
America) could possibly make the same statement, that 100% of the
emails they receive from North America are scams.  Because the honest
North American has no valid reason to seek a business transaction with
them much like the honest African has no reason to seek a business
transaction with many companies in North America.  So in that case it
would be equally appropriate for that African company to block emails

[CentOS] Configuring sendmail in a corporate environment

2008-07-01 Thread Alfred von Campe
I have a stock CentOS 5 system as far as email (sendmail) is  
concerned that is on our corporate LAN.  I am not trying to set up a  
mail server; I merely want our CentOS systems to be able to send out  
emails.  This works as long as the recipient's domain is our local  
domain.  Any email send to recipients that are not in our local  
domain get stuck in the queue:

If a business only wants to do transaction with people in their own country,
what is wrong with that?  There is no international law that says they have
to provide services or products to you because you live in a different
country.  Sometimes the lost revenue by not doing business outside your own
country is better than having to deal with the possibility of fraud.
Sometimes it is more of a hassle to deal with shipping, service and/or
support issues with people from a different country and it's just not worth

[CentOS] EPIA-M board for Centos

2008-07-01 Thread Robert Moskowitz

Is there any problems using this board?

I have a dead board in a Book-PC (board size 10.5x6) so am looking for 
a new board.


Actually I want 2 LAN ports.  'Router' boards with enough umph to run 
Centos are expensive.


I can pick up a VIA epia-m with 512Mb memory for $70 including shipping, 
so this is rather attractive option.  I do have a 100Mb low-height PCI 
board that I can use.


Fitting the board and card into the Book-PC box will be a bit of DIY 
engineering, but other than maybe loosing the front USB ports (big deal 
in the case), looks manageable.


thanks for any experience/advise.

Best to do that anyway. Some e-mail providers will only accept e-mail 
from known mail servers (AOL)
and bounce if the IP of your sending server is not a static, known 
mailserver.


What you want is 'SMARTHOST'.

Hi.

  First of all check the connectivity from that server to the external
domains like gmail,yahoo.com by doing telnet on port 25.if  u get connected
then then ur firewall is not blocking any outgoing port 25 connection.

  Then you have to check one more parmeter.If your domain  on ur sendmail
server is registered with the internet then only you can send a mail to any
external domains.If you are not registered your ip wil get blacklisted in
the spam database.


 Incase if your are registered if it is an direct mx then no need to set any
relay server parameter in sendmail.Incase your MX is pointed to some third
party then you have to tell the relay server ip in sendmail mc file.it wll
be some thing like below

dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl

Replace smtp.your.provider with mx2.example.com,this is where your mx get
pointed so that all of your outgoing mails will relayed via this server.

dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `mx2.example.com')dnl

Note: check the connectivity from that centos sendmail server to
mx2.example.com first for port 25 connection.

You CAN manage without sendmail-cf RPM by editing the config file by 
hand. I wouldn't try it without a good psychiatrist and lots of

[CentOS] extract MIME attachments from 700MB imap folder

2008-07-01 Thread Ray Leventhal

Hi all,

Issue:
I've been tasked with extracting a bunch of MIME attachments (M$Word 
docs) from emails which have been stored in an imap folder in 
/home/username/mail/imap foldername.  As the subject states, the 
imap folder is about 700MB.


Googling suggested that munpack might do the trick, but as it is 
intended only for one message at a time, it outputs the first attachment 
found, then exits gracefully.


Further searches seemed to talk about mimedump, so I yum installed 
perl-MIME-tools.noarch from rpmforge as mimedump this was needed, and 
includes mimedump.


I've read the man page, but am wholly unclear as to:
1) will this do the trick for me
2) are there other known tools which might be recommended

Thanks in advance,
-Ray

Mime::Parser will split out the body and attachments of a message into 
files.  I've only used it on single files being delivered via procmail 
like this:


use MIME::Parser;
### Create parser, and set some parsing options:
$archive='/path/to/dir';
my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
### Change how nameless message-component files are named:
$parser-output_dir($archive);
$parser-output_prefix('msg');
### Parse input:
$entity = $parser-parse(\*STDIN) or die parse failed\n;

But you'll probably want to do something a little more clever to toss 
the body and use sensible filenames for the attachments. I think 
Mime::Parser::Filer can do that.

country, what is wrong with that?  There is no international law 
that says they have to provide services or products to you because 
you live in a different country.  Sometimes the lost revenue by not 
doing business outside your own country is better than having to 
deal with the possibility of fraud.  Sometimes it is more of a 
hassle to deal with shipping, service and/or support issues with 
people from a different country and it's just not worth it.

Hello All,

I've seen a lot of very good and valid comments come out of this discussion!

I had a mail server that, initially, had no need for foreign (Outside 
US) communication. Then exceptions started highly complicating the situation.


I used this database lookup to compile a list, by country, of those I 
wanted to block based upon my mail server's history with 
communications with them and on the histories of my users/customers.

As for the rest, thank you for the sharing of info.

The LSB should be concern to encourage developers to built stuff 
that can be used across distros. LSB should reduce problems of 
desktop users who have been finding difficulty in getting stuff 
like printer drivers and other paraphernalia. The more distros 
adopting LSB then more developers/manufacturers will be encouraged 
on the use of LSB.


Well .. I have run the latest testing scripts and CentOS-5.1 passes 
the 3.1 LSB for Core and Desktop.


It does not pass the 3.2 LSB tests yet (neither does RHEL-5).

I will work with Russ to see if I can get CentOS certified without 
paying $20,000.00 a year to make it happen.


If we have to pay for this, well we can't be certified.

Note, only one version of Ubuntu (6.0.6 LTS) and no Debian or Fedora 
versions are certified.


Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
I really believe that any standards organization that charges that 
much is just extorting money for a small perceived benefit.
If it passes the testing scripts, that should be enough for a free 
distribution. Microsoft does the same thing for its certified 
drivers. They charge an extortion fee for the service.

Sorry to ask this, but what exactly is the LSB? What will CentOS (and 
probably) the community gain from it? I mean, apart from RedHat

I know CentOS stands out above the rest in many areas, and is very close

LSB or Linux Standard Base, is a way of assuring VARs, developers and
contractors that the Linux systems that are certified under this all
have a standard file system structure and contain a defined set of
minimum system utilities.

This way when they write software they can be rest assured that if the
system is LSB certified that it will contain the 'bash' utility, that
utility will be in /usr/bin, man pages will be in /usr/share/man, etc.

This way they only have to write 1 set of installation packages and
not a separate package for each Linux distribution they wish to
develop for.

On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 1:55 AM, Bernhard Gschaider
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hi John!

 As I understand it the nvidia-x11-drv IS the nvidia.com-driver just
 repackaged in such a way that it automatically recompiles itself if a
 new kernel is installed. For the vanilla-nvidia-drivers I had to write
 a script for that and the number of workstation here is not big enough
 that it justifies that (I did that, but it never worked 100% and
 testing a boot time script is a pain in the a##)
 Obviously the script in the RPM-package doesn't know how to behave
 during an upgrade (let's see how it fares when the first
 5.2-kernel-update comes along)


I may be mistaken on this, but IIRC, the driver does not recompile
itself automatically at all.  I used dkms once a great many kernels
ago, and the driver has been recompiled for me for every single update
since then (4.4, I think), including my update to 5.2.  I didn't see
any reference to this in this thread at all, so I'm assuming that you
are not using dkms.

For the person who uninstalled, updated and reinstalled the driver, I
didn't see any mention of a recompile - did you do that?

Now, if your driver doesn't work after an explicit recompile, that's a
different problem.

I've read the man page, but am wholly unclear as to:
1) will this do the trick for me
2) are there other known tools which might be recommended



Mime::Parser will split out the body and attachments of a message into 
files.  I've only used it on single files being delivered via procmail 
like this:


use MIME::Parser;
### Create parser, and set some parsing options:
$archive='/path/to/dir';
my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
### Change how nameless message-component files are named:
$parser-output_dir($archive);
$parser-output_prefix('msg');
### Parse input:
$entity = $parser-parse(\*STDIN) or die parse failed\n;

But you'll probably want to do something a little more clever to toss 
the body and use sensible filenames for the attachments. I think 
Mime::Parser::Filer can do that.

 I've never used it so can't say for sure.

 In gmail, look in the Sent Mail.  All the messages you have sent are in 
 there.


Yah, of course, but what I used to see was the posted copy of my sent
email, which has the [CentOS] tag and comes on behalf of me from the
list - those do not show up in either my sent mail, inbox or trash.

I like it, but I do find it a bit weird.

 Hi all,

 I am trying to block all IP addresses from Africa due to a high rate

 I have some found some websites that can generate a range of IP

 can use those perhaps but that would mean I would have to get the
 ranges for each country one by one.

 Has anyone here a list of addresses from Africa already? It would
 definitely be a time saver for me. My firewall uses IP blocking by
 CIDR.

 how terribly shocking...

Re: [CentOS] EPIA-M board for Centos

 Is there any problems using this board?

 I have a dead board in a Book-PC (board size 10.5x6) so am looking for
 a new board.

 Actually I want 2 LAN ports.  'Router' boards with enough umph to run
 Centos are expensive.

 I can pick up a VIA epia-m with 512Mb memory for $70 including shipping,
 so this is rather attractive option.  I do have a 100Mb low-height PCI
 board that I can use.

 Fitting the board and card into the Book-PC box will be a bit of DIY
 engineering, but other than maybe loosing the front USB ports (big deal
 in the case), looks manageable.

 thanks for any experience/advise.
I've had some pretty bad luck with the Epia-m stuff. While the newer ones are 
all i686 compatible, there seem to be random issues there. Not well tested in 
the mainstream kernel I guess. After a FC7 kernel upgrade, they wouldn't boot 
anymore - kernel would dump and nobody could figure out why. A RHEL 5 (not 
centos) kernel somewhere along the line also had issues. 

I've built some successful systems on the Atom 230 recently. Much faster than 
the Epia and about the same price 
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121342)
So far everything works out of the box and its much faster than even the 
1.2Ghz Epia's I tried. 
Fan is fairly noisy though. :-(

 The OP is not discriminating against Africa because of government systems,
 skin color, or diet.  He is trying to reduce lost revenue, credit card
 refunds and time due to fraudulent orders that almost all originate from the
 African continent.  The reality is that Nigeria is the 419 internet scam
 capital of the world, and the Nigerian scammers sometimes work from other
 African nations or even the UK.  If someone in Africa really, really must
 have something that Matt sells then they should pay with Western Union or
 international money order instead of a credit card.


Ever heard of the Western Union scam?  No offense to anyone in any other
country, but personally I prefer to deal with people in the US who are
covered by US laws.  My comments above had absolutely nothing to do with
race, color, nationality, religion, etc.  It's because it's easier to go
after someone legally if they try to rip me off and they are in the same
country as me.  And I know there a lot of businesses that have taken the
same stance on who they will sell products to.

This is an old way of doing it but it's worked fine for me over the
years.

cat /proc/scsi/scsi and find the device that you resized

Make sure the device is not in use(not mounted, not in use by device
mapper, multipathing software, LVM etc), assuming it is not:

echo scsi remove-single-device X X X X /proc/scsi/scsi
echo scsi add-single-device X X X X /proc/scsi/scsi

where X X X X is the id of the device, for example:

Contents of /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
  Vendor: PE/PVModel: 1x2 SCSI BP  Rev: 1.0
  Type:   ProcessorANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 01 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: MegaRAID Model: LD 0 RAID1   69G Rev: 521S
  Type:   Direct-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02

The disk above is the Megaraid volume which is 0 1 0 0.

You can check to be sure that the device disappears from /proc/scsi/scsi
after you remove it, before re-adding it. If the device is multpathed
then remove all instances of it from /proc/scsi/scsi. If you don't
know what ID it is your SAN device should be able to at least tell
you what LUN it's exported as, which should help in tracing down
which disk is which in /proc/scsi/scsi.

Careful with that command, if you remove a disk that is in use you can
seriously hose the system, often times requiring a hard power cycle.

Hi Folks.

Regards John


We normally drop the torrents from the tracker around the time a new 
version is released so you should as well. Do you even see any traffic 
on these older torrents ?


By the way,  I think we ( as a community ) should strongly discurage 
people from installing older software specially since the older stuff 
now has known and published widely bug's and potentially remote security 
issues. Ofcourse there are people who will, due to whatever reason, 
still want to get out there and install an older version - they are 
welcome to use the vault.centos.org machines.


- KB
With exception to the people hit with the powernow glitch. They will never be 
able to install with a 5.2 cd or dvd since the installer kernels probably 
won't be changed unless by the slim chance that upstream does.

the new generation ( well, anything in the last 2 years or so ) JMicron 
's are all 100% AHCI compatible and do a fairly good job of just being a
