After your interface starts, check to see if dhclient is running. It seems that for some reason, even though I have BOOTPROTO=dhcp in the interface configuration file, it doesn't get an address, but if I run dhclient eth1 it gets an address immediately. Even when I configure it manually, I don't get any connectivity. So it doesn't seem to be related to DHCP here. But it could be related to the DHCP issue I'm seeing on FC8 and OpenSuSE10.2 Thanks for the hint. So you have an ipw2200 running in CentOS5 without any issues? How did you do this? ;) I have an ipw2200 as well in my Thinkpad T43. I would suggest using NetworkManager instead of messing with iwconfig. Do this: service NetworkManager restart chkconfig NetworkManager on and then you should see a new applet-icon in Gnome. (if not, run nm-applet as user) NetworkManager works a bit like windows, it will tell you when it connects and disconnects (also for wired) and you can easily select a wireless nework and provide keys. -- -- dag wieers, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Do you think it would be safe to replace the listed requirements with those that come with CentOS 5? This is my first time packaging an RPM so I apologize if this is elementary. The answer is ... it depends :D Sometimes, if you are going to downgrade all the items, you can do that. Other times the software in question really does REQUIRE newer packages to build properly. Most of the time, if a specific version is NOT required, then an non-versioned require is put in ... ie: BuildRequires: glibc-devel However, sometimes you need a specific version, so you would use: BuildRequires: glibc-devel = 2.5 (same is true for Requires:) SO ... if the person who did the research and wrote the SPEC did it correctly, then no, you can't change it.

[CentOS] A good primer to User Administration?
Hi, I've been running Linux as a workstation OS for years, and have been dealing with Windows networks and standalone Linux servers for a while now. However, the time has come for me to complete redo the server installation and am looking to move to a complete CentOS install base, with only Windows workstations. My question is the following. I've been searching online for a good reference to describe good practices when building a linux network, but haven't really been able to find much when it comes to best practices for user administration, ACLs, optimal (or recommended) file locations, etc. For example, I know I need an LDAP server, but not sure how that ties into system login, or how to use a Linux LDAP server as the basis for a primary domain controller (is it still called that given Windows AD world?), etc. Or even how to properly create group structures and ACLs that accurately reflect group ownership/etc. The octal permissions at the file level are only good enough for a single group; I need to give multiple groups different permissions on the same files, etc. I realize that there are a lot of questions that I need to research, but I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some advanced admin docs with best practices, etc. Most of the stuff I find relates on how to set up a basic standalone PC, without any reference to how to network together a bunch of servers running off central authentication, etc...

For a mail server I highly recommend RAID10 and drives with high RPM so you get better random io performance as 99% of io on a mail home server will be random io and while regular SATA drives would be ok for a file server which is mostly sequential they will stack up io waits on a busy mail or database server. The raptors are costly because they run at 10k rpm and have low seek times, this gives them much better random io performance, but sequential io is the same with regular SATA drives. In fact sequential io performance is almost identical between 7200rpm SATA and 15000rpm SAS the real difference is in random io where the 15k drives are 2x faster (1.2MB of 4k random ios a second versus 640KB of 4k random ios a second, unbuffered). If you have an external enclosure then that will help, but make sure the array is compatible with the drives you want. SATA disks cannot go into a SCSI array, though some SAS enclosures and controllers allow you to mix SAS and SATA drives (LSI is one). Performance can trump size here so if the choice is between 200GB 7200 rpm SATA drives or 72GB 15000rpm SAS drives, if your data fits onto the 72GB drives (probably 140GB if in a 4 drive RAID10) go with the 72GB drives (taking growth into consideration too). Hardware RAID can help too if you utilize onboard battery backed up write-back cache. The more write-back cache the better, just make sure it is battery backed up (BBU). -Ross -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org Sent: Tue Nov 13 01:58:27 2007 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Need advice on storage - Message d'origine - De: Kenneth Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Lundi, Novembre 12, 2007 10:58 pm Objet: Re: [CentOS] Need advice on storage À: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org You've already received a few responses about reconfiguring your entireserver, so I'll avoid that route and simply answer your question straight. No There will not be a significant performance boost striping only 2 drives. The 10K RPM Raptors alone will definitely increase performance, but there is little/no real advantage striping them together. Getting any significant performance increase from a RAID array really requires at *least* 4 drives ... the more the merrier ... although I'll probably catch some flack from that statement. :-) A previous poster mentioned increasing your RAM from 1Gb to 2Gb. That was an excellent idea and should be done in parallel with whatever drive changes you make. Regards, Ken Thanks Ken. That's a good thing to know that software striping won't really boost performance, i then won't waste money on that avenue.

Normally I use SeaMonkey, with Firefox as a last ditch backup, on the Linux side, and SeaMonkey in my Windows VM-guest, with IE as the absolute last ditch backup. I tried their on-the-phone-quick-fix and turned off my modem and router for the recommended 20 seconds (more like 30), and this did no good as far as I could see. (The router is for convenience when I need multiple connections - typically, as now, this is the only computer connected to it.) However, I played along with their support person (they need more support than they give out...), and their suggestion was to go into IE (groan, double groan to fire up the Windows VM guest), delete all cookies, delete all files, and clear the history. Funny thing is, that worked - for IE. So, I go back to my CentOS SeaMonkey and clear the cache and the history. I'm not sure what else to do, though, because that didn't solve the problem, and Firefox is as slow as my SeaMonkey. Any suggestions? Are there corollaries to IE's files for SM or Ff? 3 possible scenarios: 1) DNS not properly configured Make sure your resolv.conf is properly configured, if you are doing DHCP look into having your resolv.conf set through it, if you are using PPPOE you can have the ppp daemon set it too if the DNS is passed over the ppp connection. If you are using a static resolv.conf, make sure it is correct, use nslookup on each server in resolv.conf and do a couple of test lookups (www.yahoo.com www.google.com etc). 2) TCP MTU and blackhole router if PPPOE If you are doing PPPOE then make sure the MTU on the ppp interface link is set to 1492 as pppoe uses 8 bytes for ppp framing. If it is set to 1500 then some large packets will drop and the stack will have to resend smaller and smaller till it goes through. If ICMP need to frag messages are dropped then the connections will stall completely. 3) TCP scaling window and broken router The latest CentOS uses the TCP scaling window algorithm to the RFC spec which some routers don't support.

[CentOS] Web DAV (folder) access fails
I'm trying to get web folder (DAV) access working to my CentOS 5 setup. I previously had it working fine under Fedora 2. I can access the folder with the Java-based DAVExplorer, but Windows Network Places won't let me Add a Network Place, telling me that The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. I'm using https with self-signed cert and htpasswd file. If I switch to non-SSL, Windows recognizes the URL as valid, but my logins all fail with a 401.

Interesting that the error didn't show up during the install of the OS, Centos saw all of the CPU's, the memory and didn't blink once. I did an install everything, maybe I should back off and reduce the role of the machine.

[CentOS] Persistent iSCSI Device Names on CentOS 4
I found a lot of stuff about this on the web, but never an answer that worked. One of the most promising hints was about udev maintaining links in the /dev/disk/by-* directories. This works just fine in CentOS 5, but not CentOS 4. As I was trying to use the iSCSI devices as VMware disks this was particularly frustrating. After banging my head on this for a while, I figured out how to make it work. By default, iSCSI devices don't show up in the /dev/disk/by-* directories maintained by udev under CentOS 4. After looking at the scripts used by udev, it appeared that the scsi_id program was not returning anything for the iSCSI devices. Digging in the manpage and the /etc/scsi_id.config file led me to believe that the devices in question were blacklisted and never returned a valid device ID. The fix was to add a line to scsi_id.config to whitelist the particular devices. In my case, the iSCSI devices are provided by on Openfiler box, which shows up in /proc/scsi/scsi like this: Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Openfile Model: Virtual disk Rev: 0 Type: Direct-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 04 The fix for me was to add the following line to my iscsi_id.config file: vendor=Openfile, model=Virtual disk, options=-g The values for vendor= and model= will vary with the specific iSCSI target used. After adding this and rebooting, udev now properly maintains the links in /dev/disk/by-id/ for each of the iSCSI devices offered up to my workstation.

Re: [CentOS] Installing skype in CentOS 5
Skype makes a statically compiled version of the program. I use it every day on CentOS-5 without problem. Upgrading to QT 4 is not, IMHO, a very good idea if you want other things to work that are compile against qt3 ... that is just my opinion. Johnny, CentOS offers both qt and qt4 packages on CentOS 5. Thanks .. right, can install qt4 as well as qt ... let me see if I can make that work :D Skype does make a CentOS package available that looks pretty much as if it has been build on CentOS as well.

I have no experience with Zimbra so I am incapable of adding to the discussion but thought the link to a different point of view should be offered. To the OP... Linux by it's nature doesn't necessarily lend itself to a turnkey solution - at least not Red Hat (or CentOS by inference), nor the other Linux distributions. Obviously Microsoft has done an excellent job at exploiting this weakness. I suppose you could fool with Sun's various services, Novell offers similar, and I suppose so does Red Hat but none are fully integrated and lead you through wizard-wize from start to finish and setup an entire network infrastructure. What I found that worked for me was to learn LDAP and the book that made it happen for me was 'LDAP System Administration by Gerald Carter' While this book is getting old and out of date, it actually makes LDAP very clear and once you get the basic idea of LDAP down, then adding everything else to it (samba/windows networking, cups, various authentication services) all become obvious. There are no magic tools that teach you LDAP - you can't install some GUI thing and understand what is going on...it doesn't happen that way.

Regards, Umair Shakil Umair, I have had a similar problem, you need to check that the printer driver is set correctly. The other possible cause is that the printer was not switched on when your computer was booted.

[CentOS] Re: freenx
After doing that I can connect to the server with nxcleint without problem but I get only a black screen. In the files I had the same error on CentOS5. No solution found. Therefore I use NX from Nomachine with no problems. HTH Timothy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

To install that, you need to run force install Text::ParseWords --or-- install N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8.tar.gz not sure how to remove that either.
