Click help, type in a few key words, and you get examples and all that good stuff. For instance, our MS guy was out and I had to do something, relatively simple, I forget what it was exactly--something like add a user to a new group. Put in a few words, e.g., add user group and there was a step by step. Can you imagine if I'd been out and he'd had to add a user to a samba group? He would have probably been told go to www.samba.org. :) It is something simple, and something that I could have walked him through quickly, but not intuitive. At any rate, not to compare and start wars, (which is, of course, what I've just done--though hopefully, no wars), the original point is that I do prefer detailed documentation. As you say though, it's a fine line--but often, the beginner's article will be very helpful to the next beginner, because, as is said, what we consider intuitive is simply what we're so used to doing.

Dear Ralph. Also I wonder why you don't just offer a signed RPM package with the repo description or alternatively just a repo file for download. Maybe you could get in contact with Jamie Cameron to do so. Implicitly the CentOS project watched and approves the content in the wiki (compare contra the open access mailing lists and forums). Are we as a project willing to let links proliferate thru the wiki at large to random non-CentOS controlled respository content [not 'penned in and watched' as in the Repositories page], and to be so outlinked, with a seeming imprimatur of being a signed package? I am not. That's true. I would just add a lik to the repositories page, instead. Imho there is no need for a separate installation description like that.

[CentOS] Shell Script Pointers?
Hey Listee's
I am trying to write a shell script to sort and compare my blacklist
for squidGuard with the nightly updates that come down in a tar ball.
It should be rather simple but I'm not to grate at this. The script is
to run nightly, it will download the latest blacklist tarball, un tar
it and then add any new entries to the existing black list. The
blacklists work by having a folder for each filtered category so the
folder db contains the subfolders adult, gambling, drugs etc
and each sub folder has two files, domains and urls (pretty self
explanitory). This is how far I have gotten (I haven't tested this
script yet as I haven't had a chance I have only gotten as far as
writting it, this is what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
#This will be running from home directory
wget http://www.blacklistsite.com/blacklist.tar
tar -cxf blacklist.tar
cd BL
find ./ -type d -maxdepth 1 | while read FOLDER; do
SQUIDDB=usr/local/squidGuard/db/$FOLDER
sort_db($SQUIDDB)
comm -3 $SQUIDDB/domains $FOLDER/domains $SQUIDDB/domains.missing
comm -3 $SQUIDDB/urls $FOLDER/urls $SQUIDDB/urls.missing
cat $SQUIDDB/domains.missing $SQUIDDB/domains
cat $SQUIDDB/urls.missing $SQUIDDB/urls
rm $SQUIDDB/domains.missing
rm $SQUIDDB/urls.missing
sort_db($SQUIDDB)
done
sort_db(){
sort -f $1/domains $1/domains.sorted
sort -f $1/urls $1/urls.sorted
rm $1/domains
rm $1/urls
mv $1/doamins.sorted $1/domains
mv $1/urls.sorted $1/urls
}
Is it obvious I'm new to this? Hehe, I would also love to hear how
people would do this in a more efficient manner because obvisouly this
is pretty sloppy and as I said I haven't tested it yet so it might not
even run?!
Thanks, James ;)

[CentOS] [Fwd: Re: How to generate a .template and .jigdo from an iso image?]
Hi Ralph
I received this e-mail from Fedora Infrastructure list. My problem at
that moment was a proper syntax for the jigdo-file command.
Using the their script as reference, I made a simpler one to test the
command[1]. And it's working:
newt (Linux) $pwd; ls -l *.jigdo *.template
/users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/dvd
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate214226 May 13 13:44
CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate 196853099 May 13 13:44
CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.template
newt (Linux) $
I copy all the files in CentOS directory of the image to the directory
/users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/os, so I could export as NFS.
I don't know if there is a better way to test, but what I did was to
create a centos.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d[2]. Then in the machine called
prost, issued the command:
[r...@prost ~]# jigdo-lite http://newt/centos/CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo

Hi
I read the man page. It says that I have to specify only one of the
options -i, -j or -t. OK. If I use only -i, my template has the
same size of image, then there is no point in using jigdo. There must be
something more.
My question is how Fedora generates the .template with only 11.1M? The
command jigdo-file -i CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.iso it's not enough.
Attached is the script Fedora Unity uses to jigdofy it's Re-Spins. Note
the function jigdofy() in the top that may just help you get the
syntax right.
Note the double slash in the two directories passed to the jigdo-file
make-template command, which functions as a delimiter for jigdo-file,
so that in the --label parameter, we can 'label' the path and then
attach a URI (--uri) to be used in the resulting .jigdo file instead.
$1 is the (fully qualified) path to the .iso image,
$2 is the base architecture for the .iso image (i386, x86_64 or ppc in
our case), and
${version} is the Fedora $releasever (9 or 10 right now).
Also note that /data/os/distr/fedora is a local, full mirror and that
/data/os/archive/fedora is a local, full archive (with package files
that have been removed from the mirror because for example they've
expired and have been superseeded by another update to said package).

Re: [CentOS] 5.3 and XFS
xfs kmod's for centos-5 have so far been done within the centos loop, but this is interesting - looks like 5.4 might have a tech-preview for xfs included in. FWIW, at FOSDEM 2009 Ted T'so said that he anticipated official XFS support from Redhat in the near future as they recently hired some experienced XFS engineers. It was not an official announcement of any kind, he was just speculating during a presentation on ext4.

Re: [CentOS] can non-owner change file group setup?
When we migrated from HPUX to Redhat we noticed this. I opened a case and we determined that you could not do this with the standard chgrp or chown commands if you are not root. The reason I was given is to keep people from getting around the disk quota stuff. A listing in one of the redhat forums stated that there was an option in one of the .h files that determined if this was allowed. You had to recompile your kernel to get this to work.

I think I see what you're asking. If you start out at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5.3/isos/ i386/ and choose a mirror (say, http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/5.3/isos/i386/) you'll be presented with a list of the ISOs for CentOS. What the netinstall is looking for is a few directories back and down from this location. By clicking on Parent Directory two times and drilling down into os/ i386, THIS is directory path that you want to enter into the netinstall part of the CentOS installer. From the example mirror above, the first line would be... mirrors.bluehost.com and the second line would be... centos/5.3os/i386 The installer goes into the images directory and downloads stage2.img to continue with the net-based installation.

[CentOS] File compare word by word
Is there a utility that compares files word by word, instead of whole lines or single bytes? I found that I can simulate this by replacing all the spaces in a file with linefeeds, then 'diff -B' the results, but that's kind of awkward and hard to read when differences that matter come up. (For the record, I tried using OOo's document comparer, converting to text and using diff, and a few others, but none of them worked. I used to think that running text files through fmt would help, but fmt is strangely inconsistent as to where it breaks lines, even when the content within a line or two is identical.)

[CentOS] Remote Desktop on CentOS 5.3
Does anyone have remote desktop connectivity working in CentOS 5.3? I'm using the Gnome desktop and have configured the Remote Deskop Preferences to Allow other users to view your desktop and Allow other users to control your desktop. The configuration dialog box says that Users can view your desktop using this command: vncviewer HOSTNAME.domain.com:0. However, when I try to connect to it from another host, I always get a Connection reset by peer error message. I've tried various different clients an operation systems, and I get the same result. I disabled the firewall completely for this test (service iptables stop) so I know it's not a firewall issue. Then again, I don't see a vncserver process running either, so that may be the issue. This was working on CentOS 5.2. What do I need to do to access my existing desktop on my CentOS 5.3 system remotely? I don't need to use VNC, but I do want to access the existing session and not a separate desktop (i.e., by starting a vncserver process).

However, when I try to connect to it from another host, I always get a Connection reset by peer error message. I've tried various different clients an operation systems, and I get the same result. I disabled the firewall completely for this test (service iptables stop) so I know it's not a firewall issue. Then again, I don't see a vncserver process running either, so that may be the issue. This was working on CentOS 5.2. What do I need to do to access my existing desktop on my CentOS 5.3 system remotely? I don't need to use VNC, but I do want to access the existing session and not a separate desktop (i.e., by starting a vncserver process).

Re: [CentOS] Shell Script Pointers?
to run nightly, it will download the latest blacklist tarball, un tar it and then add any new entries to the existing black list. The if you're already going to the effort of downloading the entire blacklist every night, why not dump the old database, and just insert the newly downloaded one? tar -cxf blacklist.tar this will suck your computer into a vortex of doom. I recommend either creating a tarball, or extracting one, but not both at the same time. :) In all honesty, you might be better targeting this query to squidGuard users, as this may be something they do regularly. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Shell Script Pointers?
if you're already going to the effort of downloading the entire blacklist every night, why not dump the old database, and just insert the newly downloaded one? Because we also add our own entries to the current blacklist so we are just adding any new entries from the nightly updates of our blacklist provides tar -cxf blacklist.tar this will suck your computer into a vortex of doom. I recommend either creating a tarball, or extracting one, but not both at the same time. :) Its ok the blacklist is text so its a 10mb tarball of text. Takes about 30 seconds to download and it will take about 2 minutes for the script to run ;) In all honesty, you might be better targeting this query to squidGuard users, as this may be something they do regularly. Should be simple text manipulation :( none the less a good idea I will post my question there. Thanks! -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GIT/MU/U dpu s: a-- C++$ U+ L++ B- P+ E?
