Thank you for thinking about supporting our documentation for end users - but I have a slight problem with just linking to your article. In my opinion it would be better to have the article on the wiki directly. I understand that, and I support that view, although the document is written for both CentOS and for Fedora, and therefore sort of belongs to both projects. I would prefer to have the document set up in such a way is it is managed on one project's wiki and cross-published, or centrally maintained and published to both, though I realise that's probably technically difficult to achieve (hence my suggestion of simply linking). I wouldn't want one or the other to fall out of date, and wouldn't want to have duplicate effort to keep the information up to date, especially when probably 95% of the content is the same for both CentOS and Fedora. However, it looks like LUKS-based LVM PV encryption may make it into Fedora natively (it's on the roadmap for F9), so the Fedora side of my article will become less relevant anyway.

Hi, Ralph. I found this tool very useful in my formatting from HTML to the CentOS wiki format. It's HTML to Wiki Converter, which is a Perl module easily installed on CentOS. I wrote a post about it here on my site, and it's what I use now to convert my pages there over to the wiki so I don't have to worry about cross-posting. I change it once there, run this tool, then copy the output to the CentOS wiki. http://www.maxsworld.org/index.php/content/perl-html-to-wiki-converter Alternatively, if people don't want to install anything you can run it via the web. http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/ Is this something that could be advertised to others to thwart having to maintain multiple formats across sites, especially with long articles?

[CentOS] Unable open raw socket in CentOS 5 - SE Linux and kernel capability interaction?
I am wondering what is the interaction between SE Linux and the kernel
capabilities in CentOS 5.1? I'm trying to open a raw socket and keep
getting permission denied errors. I've tried using the lcap library to
find that CAP_SETPCAP appears to be off in the kernel. For compliance
reasons, I don't want to turn this on. I've also tried a hand-crafted
SE Linux module policy. I have verified that the test program runs in
the correct SE Linux domain and it generates no audit errors, but it
still fails to open the port with permission denied.
It appears that SE Linux is not preventing the socket being created
(as evidenced by the lack of audit messages), so what am I missing? Do
I still need to modify capabilities within the program, even if I'm
using an SE Linux policy?
Thanks

[CentOS] question about network repositories
Hi I'm thinking about setting up a local / LAN respository for my CentOS, and probably other (Fedora Core) disto's, but have never done it before, so here's some questions: If I setup a repository, can it hold different distro's / architectures versions? Say for example, CentOS 4 (i386 x64), CentOS 5.0 5.1 (i386 x64) - will each one have it's own folder? Will it also be possible to only download the packages that are needed, instead of the whole 4GB repository from the upstream provider?

Re: [CentOS] Making CentOS 5.1 Live on USB Writable
Mark Rose wrote: I recently made a Live USB by using the directions in the LiveCD Trac. It works very well, but I was wondering if there is a way the partition - in my case, /dev/sda1, can be made writable. I tried changing the kickstart file to mount everything RW, but it did not work. I know I can always create a second partition on the pendrive, but I would like all filesystems accessible by both CentOS and Windows. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks! The persistence feature, e.g. the ability to save livecd changes to a USB stick, is not yet officially implemented by the Fedora LiveCD project. This feature should be ready for Fedora 9.

[CentOS] RESTORING THUNDERBIRD FILES
Hi All, Last night I downloaded the latest security updates to my Centos 4 system, and rebooted afterwards. This morning I wanted to check my mail, but when I opened Thunderbird, it asked me to set up a mail account. I saved the contents of the previous .thunderbird file structure with tar and created a new mail account with the same details (name, isp, pasword, servers etc.) as the previous account. All of my folders and history had disappeared when the new account was created. I tried restoring from the tar archive but can still only access mails downloaded after recreating the account. Any ideas on how to regain access to my mail archives? TIA ChrisG ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I do, because that's when CentOS got a letter from RH legal department asking to remove all references to their name and I was the one sitting in the LinuxWorld booth trying to justify to people that CentOS was a valid project and not just stealing someone else's IP. If CentOS wants to be taken seriously, especially by big business, you don't do it by biting the hand that feeds you and creating bad publicity. Referring to RH without their permission is just begging for RH to sue us. Drop the RH jokes and push CentOS on it's merit as a stable enterprise OS with a great community behind it. Also without RH, CentOS wouldn't be. They make it very easy to obtain the sources in a manner that makes it easy to build CentOS by releasing complete SRPMs. There's nothing saying RH has to release the code this way. They could make it very difficult for groups like CentOS, WhiteBox, and Scientific Linux. Be nice to RH and buy a license here and there when it makes sense.

I have no idea when or if they will put that in a current product. If you want to know what MIGHT be in CentOS-6 (still probably 6-8 months away) you can look in Fedora 9. The version there (in what is called Rawhide) is currently hplip-2.7.12-5.fc9.src.rpm: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/ I would imagine something close to that will be in CentOS-6.

Thanks -- Bob Taylor Uncle Bob, If you'd really like to use the hplip package rather than going for alternative ways, I suggest you rebuild it from the Fedora srpm. It is much better than installing from a tarball. Just found that hplip-2.7.12-4 for fc8 rebuilds without difficulties. I can offer the stuff I built for CentOS-5 if you like. Why thank you Akemi!

I need at least hplip-2.7.10 which I have had to install via tarball. Is there any plans to update this package soon? Our goal is to be 100% directly compatible with the upstream EL software. So, the short answer is ... I have no idea when or if they will put that in a current product. If you want to know what MIGHT be in CentOS-6 (still probably 6-8 months away) you can look in Fedora 9. The version there (in what is called Rawhide) is currently hplip-2.7.12-5.fc9.src.rpm: Sorry Johnny, I was not specific. What I left off was if the developers were aware of Red Hat's plans.

Say for example, CentOS 4 (i386 x64), CentOS 5.0 5.1 (i386 x64) - will each one have it's own folder? Will it also be possible to only download the packages that are needed, instead of the whole 4GB repository from the upstream provider?

And then you can work out howto get emails from one side to the other. Thanks Karanbir, I will work on this when I get back from work tonight. There are two directories something random.default. When profiles.ini is set to use the one created when I recreated my mail connection, Thunderbird starts up with none of my history (as expected).
