Re: [CentOS-docs] picture upload?

Some attachments it will show directly, for example pictures, others will be there as a download link only.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS VPN server for iPhone
Dear Florian, So far, OpenVPN has been working very well for me. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't have (yet?) an OpenVPN client, so I'm forced to work with what's available. The options are: L2TP, PPTP and IPSec. If you were to install a VPN endpoint on CentOS, which protocol would you prefer? The condition is to avoid shabby VPN servers that make the system less secure. I've seen some PPTP servers for Linux in the past but I was not impressed with their security track record. I'm not necessarily talking about crypto, I'm talking about the way the application is written. You can set up a Linux box with Poptop (which is definitely the best solution but maybe a choice), racoon (to use with the Cisco ipsec client on the iphone) or openswan in combination with L2TP.

Re: [CentOS] Getting ready for CentOS 5.4
2009/3/27 Spiro Harvey sp...@knossos.net.nz: required? How do you figure anything is *required* of volunteers? Show me your support contract. If you're worried that CentOS is late or is stopping you from fulfilling your own contractual obligations, perhaps you should stop being a tight-arse and pay for RedHat support. When you pay nothing, you have no right to expect anything. Unless they're your slaves, and I'm pretty sure that's not the case here. And as long as CentOS stays a relevant distro the pressure (not only from me) will continue to raise. This is just rude. I think you're over-reacting or maybe just misunderstanding what I believe the OP was trying to put across. Personally, even when I volunteer to do something, I do my best to do a good job of it. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing it right, paid or otherwise. So even on a personal level, there are requirements and pressure. If you are organising a charity event, would you accept a team of helpers who may or not may not show up simply because they are volunteers? Now, I don't think any of us here are demanding the CentOS to meet strict deadlines or some corporate standards of performance here. Nobody's saying the CentOS developers can't take a vacation, can't fall sick, etc. If you read our posts, most of us are wondering where did the snags occur, how we can help to ease such problems, how we can help prevent these from recurring. These are issues that must be tackled if we want the CentOS project to flourish. Like mbneto said, as things grow, pressure expectations will increase. I don't think we want to see the team get frustrated and give up due to these pressures or expectations. One of the best way to deal with expectations/pressure is good communications. It doesn't even matter if the communications is that there are delays due to personal issues. People read it, people understand and nobody bugs the team about what's going on, they will feel less pressured. Similarly, if there's a way for us as non-development-savvy folks to contribute our resources, it would also help relieve pressure on the team. All we are trying to achieve with this discussion, I believe, is to identify problem areas, see if we can help out. So as to keep the project fun for the developers to continue and not one day burn out because they feel so unsupported, unappreciated and harrassed. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

No more system instabilities and no more package incompatibilities since we switched from Fedora (let's keep fingers crossed).

[CentOS] Minimal Install?
Hello list, I'm testing CentOS 5.2 as a possible Xen Server (i.e.: dom0) but the default no-items-selected still installs cups, portmap, and many other thing I don't want in a dom0 installation. I've already removed the packages I don't want, and replaced sendmail with postfix (I need a mailserver because of mdadm/smartd) but there're some executables I don't know what they do (gam_server for example) Two questions: 1) Is there a _real_ minimal install? 2) Is it possible, using yum, to know which packages holds what file?

We're using a CentOS box to plug USB Flash drive external hard drive into it. The CentOS box is then used to FTP the content of these external drives to a Winblows box, all that filtered by a firewall between the 2 boxes. Only FTP is allowed. Doing some tests on the CentOS box, i saw that if i log into the console, then the local session and the remote VNC sessions will see the drives automounted. If i log out of the console, then the VNC session won't see anything. It's like the automount works only if somebody is logged at the console. I assume that with console you mean X11/desktop manager. In this case Gnome or KDE handle the mounting of removable devices for you. The automounter hasn't anything to do with it. Yes, X11/DM, logged locally on the physical console. Thanks for the hint on automount. If you want the automounter to handle removable devices, then you'll have to add appropriate automounter map entries. Something like /etc/auto.master: /media /etc/auto.media /etc/auto.media: usb:/dev/sda1 or you could use a program map like the following (not my invention, I took this from the autofs mailing list): - #!/bin/sh if ntfs-3g.probe /dev/sda1; then echo -fstype=ntfs-3g,other-opts :/dev/sda1 else echo -fstype=vfat,other-opts :/dev/sda1 fi - You'll probably find other examples on the net. I'm not sure if such an automounter setup collides with Gnome/KDE automounting. Cheers frank Thanks for your help Frank. The problem i have is that it won't necessarily be the same devices plugged to this box and the user could even plug many devices at the same time. So i read many articles on the net but i'm kinda lost about where to start for this problem. Anyway, i'm still reading an thanks again for your help! Guy Boisvert, ing.

They take what they take and that is fine by me. Please do not let the negative comments of a few people reflect badly on the majority of people that truly value and appreciate this project. THANK YOU to everyone involved in CentOS! +1 Just to add to what has been previously been said ... It's a conundrum for a successful project that starts as a loose-knit consortium of interested folks. At some point, as time passes, real life injects some demands and the informal structure begins to suffer stress, evidenced by longer delays or other symptoms. As someone mentioned, burn-out becomes possible. The contributors may feel unfairly pressured or even perceive criticisms where none were intended. This is often due to the natural conflict of wanting to do a good job on the project and have a life too. A great deal of satisfaction can be had when the success leads to a more cohesive and coordinated project that takes on a life of its own and the original members realize they have spawned a long-lived project that will continue after they make the choice to exit the project. For this to be realized, it's usually necessary to have a more formal structure, a transition plan for people to enter and exit the project without cataclysmic shock, and other such corporate structures. The big downside to this is the inevitable politics that may rear its ugly head. As a step to reducing the pressure and dissatisfaction of Are We There Yet? (When will xxx be released?), a simple publication of a projected time line will help. It should be updated as needed. It should understood that this could be another source of pressure as a release date nears and folks realize it may be missed. *sigh* Everything has a downside.

Re: [CentOS] APCUPSD port 3551 permission problem
I need a little help on this problem, please? I include my /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf file is attached. Ok port 3551 udp/tcp has been added to the (running) firewall. Are you attempting to run the agent on a machine *without* the ups comm connected to it, such that it will receive status from the server that does have it connected and shutdown when that remote agent that *is* monitoring the ups suggests it should? I don't think so, I think your ups is connected to the server that is running the agent. You need not add this port to the firewall. It talks to itself over the loopback adapter. My APC is recognized as: APC Back-UPS 450 FW:844.Kld.D USB FW:Kld This from the hardware browser.

Best regards, Norberto ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos I was just playing with this myself this week. For CentOS 5.2, the very minimal install is 88 RPMs. This is missing things you will need (like openssh, passwd, yum, etc) but its basically the bare-bones install. If you statically assign IP addresses and don't care about DHCP, you can reduce the list one more and get rid of 'dhclient'. All other RPMs are required because of the dependencies that are laid out. Various other things will be required as you add some of the useful utilities back in.
