I use that VPN-client at home on a CentOS 7 x64-system. I recall trying to get it to work a few years back while running CentOS 6 32b, but never managed. Opted to install CentOS 6 x64 instead.

Thanks for the feedback. No gray 7-boot screen. Might be a graphics issue, the card is a Nvidia 1060 with no particular drivers loaded except for the default Nouveau package. What's weird is that I can't even get a CLI login screen with ctrl-alt-Fx at this point.

[CentOS] Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client for 32- bit CentOS 6
I have the above installed on a couple of 64-bit systems, both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7, where the client works fine. Now, however, I have installed the 32-bit version of CentOS 6 on a netbook but I cannot get the Cisco website installer to recognize the computer/operating system, not even displaying any error message. Does anyone have the client running on a 32-bit system? I have been told it should run on a 32-bit system and did have it running on the same netbook while it was still running Vista Home edition, another 32-bit operating system. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

As long as they follow the license requirements for individual componets / packages from which they are using the source code, that is the requirement they have to meet. If they use an open source license to build an individual package, they have to meet the requirements of that project. The 'combination' of a set of packages into different work under a different name means you have to meet the requirements of the individual things you included. If they BASE off of and do not CLAIM to be something, they get to decide how they distribute what they created .. based on the component parts. (IMHO .. IANAL) >> 2.

Of course, they have to give source code if requested by users who have their binaries (assuming the license is copyleft and requires it for that package). IANAL, but if they remove the pieces of CentOS Linux that contain trademarks (the centos-* ... the * being release, indexhtml, artwork, etc.) AND if they build and sign their own stuff based on the CentOS source code, AND they follow the original licensing requirements for the individual packages, then again, they are likely meeting all requirements.

[CentOS] Adding new automount entries to a map served via sssd from AD
I've been experimenting with setting up a CentOS 7 client using automount maps from Active Directory via sssd I've followed the instructions given at: https://ovalousek.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/autofs/ and all works fine However, I can't seem to make the client 'see' new map entries added to the map on the AD server - I've tries reducing various timeout settings in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf to see if that helps - e.g. entry_cache_timeout = 60 entry_cache_autofs_timeout = 15 but map entries don't appear at all - unless I run 'sss_cache -A' to invalidate the sssd autofs map caches Does anyone know how to make new map entries appear automagically ?
