Another good choice is MimeDefang (http://www.mimedefang.org/).
There are rpms of it and clamav in the rpmforge repo.

Something like this approach should work:

http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS/cHTML/TrinityOS-c-55.html#ss55.2

You could probably do something more complicated with kermit instead of 
cu.  If you need some kind of initialization as the connection starts, 
kermit could do it with a script.

[CentOS] rpm -q versus what's installed

[Scott R. Ehrlich]

I am trying to install Oracle client 10g (10.2.0) on a 64-bit CentOS 5.0 
system.


'rpm -q make gcc glibc etc' reveals some packages as "not installed", yet 
a yum install  consistently returns Nothing to do. Yum list 
available  yields nothing needed.


If rpm -q  lists some that are "not installed" but every 
variant of yum install and yum list I've tried and googled claiims nothing 
more needs to be installed, either the OS is misreporting (I doubt that) 
or I'm missing something that is not easily being revealed, or that I 
haven't used in a long time and outright forgetting.


I still need (per rpm -q):

compat-gcc
compat-gcc-c++
compat-libstsdc++-devel
openmotif21
gnome-libs


There has been a suggestion of the version of Oracle (32 or 64 bit) I'm 
trying to install, but after thinking about it, I believe this question is 
a more fundamental operating system issue.


Thanks for any insight.

Re: [CentOS] General CentOS 5.1 (or Gnome) instability?

As to your specific problem, since hardware is not common among the

there is some flaw in it that becomes common to (almost?) all the

Actually, the hardware is mostly the same for all users (Lenovo  
ThinkCentre desktop towers).  And it was working fine with CentOS  
4.6.  The kickstart scripts are mostly the same from 4.6 with  
adjustments for the changes in 5.X.  The one new thing that I forgot  
to mention is that at the same time of the upgrade we switched NIS  
domains.  The old NIS server was an old Solaris system, and the new  
one is integrated with Windows (I think it's using Windows Services  
for Unix).  But I don't think a different NIS infrastructure can  
cause the instability I'm seeing.



It might be instructive to do one real manual install (that matches as
closely as possible the automated results) on a representative system
and an automated one. Then map the differences.


I really trust kickstart, so I don't think that is the issue.


Just as general notes from astutely watching this list, I guess mixed
32/64 bit libs could be an issue. Components from mixed repositories?
All yum updated (been several things fixed since original 5.1 - I  
don't

know if they are related).


No mixed environment here.  Everything is 32-bit.  I am running the  
centosplus kernel because of the NFS performance issue.



Have you examined the logs for any machines that seem consistently
problematic?


Yes, I have and found nothing interesting.  I did have another gnome- 
terminal crash tonight, and I'll update the other thread shortly.

[CentOS] a anaconda test problem

[zchen]

 I am building a latest CentOS5 and every newest stuff is ready. All are
in directory "/linux/CentOS/5-respin/os/x86_64". My OS is CentOS5 too. I
want to add some other pictures during installation process, so anaconda
adjustment is needed.
When I run command "anaconda --test

[CentOS] Managing Eclipse Plugins

[Clint Dilks]

Hi People,

I just wondered  if anyone had an suggestions on how to manage Eclipse 
plugins where RPMS don't exist for the particular plugin.  In this case 
Aptana.  Using the instructions here 
http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration 
I can install the plugin manually to /usr/share/eclipse so that its 
available to all users on the box.  But I need to install this plugin on 
a high number of machines.  I know I could install it on a single 
machine and then tar up /usr/share/eclipse and turn this into an rpm.  
But I think this will be asking for trouble in the long run.


So I then did some research and found that I should be able to use 
eclipse update manager from the command line see 
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html
Thinking that perhaps I could use a script to do the install or use a 
script to create an RPM.  But so far I can't get any of the Eclipse 
Update Manager commands to work.  Asking on some eclipse Newsgroups has 
got a couple of cryptic responses.  So I thought I would ask if anyone 
had ideas about the best way to achieve what I am after.  Also if anyone 
uses the Eclipse Update Manager from the command line and can give me an 
example of a command line that works, it would be much appreciated.

If it were me, I would download the latest yum+dependencies and install them

Did yum or sqlite get updated or did it dump on you there too?

I don't know that much about the yum process. But if it bombs there, I
would enable some more verbosity and see if it gives any clues about
where in there it is failing. Maybe you have some extra repos enabled
that cause excessive memory usage at that step? If that's related (I
don't know) you might disable all the repos but the base an updates as a
first step and see if at  lease the basic stuff can get done.

I run my desktop and my laptop on 5.1 using GNOME without any of those
problems.  My desktop is a 64 bit host with 4GB of memory, and I run a
completely mixed 32/64 bit environment (not entirely out of choice).

>From your description, it seems like you've run into a GDE problem,
not a CentOS problem.  The main problems I've seen with GDE are:

1) A mysterious bug that caused the system to stop processing logouts,
halts and reboots unless I took unusual measures to do them
(explicitly kill the gnome session to log out, or run halt or reboot
instead of using the shutdown applet), but those also mysteriously
disappeared after about a month of me fighting with it.  I think it
was ESD related, but it's gone

2) An interesting bug when I try to run the Network Connections
applet, it kills all my open nautilus windows.  I don't usually use
that applet, so it's an annoyance but one I don't see a lot (ever).

3) A really annoying bug in GDE 2.16.0 that pops up when another
application crashes and wants to send a bugzilla report.  GDE claims
that 2.16.0 is too old and won't send the report.  Fortunately, that
doesn't happen too often (most often when I exit Evolution, which I
usually do only when I log out).

Most of my other quirks of operation I attribute to the fact that I
run OOo 2.4 instead of the official 2.3 (I like it better, even though
it's only 32-bit), and I run a 64-bit alpha build of SeaMonkey
(because the 32-bit release 1.1.9 keeps disappearing under certain
specific circumstances that never occur with my own builds).

I'm looking forward to 5.2, but 5.1 has been great to/for me, as was
5.0 before it.

We use a three-way combination (on a CentOS 5 base), in this order:

  1. sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
  2. clamav-milter
  3. spamass-milter (milter-ized spamassassin)

Our server only handles about 50 user accounts, so it's not an 
industrial-strength setup by any means -- though our uptime is well 
above our internal SLA, and most of our employees have a fairly active 
e-mail life. :-)


All bounces happen during the SMTP transaction, so there's no 
backscatter problem.


In a typical week, spamhaus will block ca. 60% of inbound traffic, 
spamassassin 10%, and ClamAV 2-3%. We end up delivering only about 25% 
of the messages we receive from the Internet.


We use rpmforge packages for everything.

Pad the image before you burn it. Per suggestions from Johnny when I got
burned by this some time back, 300K is sufficient.

FYI: being insatiably curious, after that fix was applied, I grabbed a
handful of my old CD drives (all different brands and ages and speeds)
and used a recent one as the master burner. That is, all test media were
burned on the same device.

Some of the readers (1 IIRC) read successfully w/o padding. All others
required some - amount varied. All tests conducted in the same machine.

If you use cdrecord, note that the pad parameter is deprecated and
replaced with padsize, which works quite well.

The clue in all this is that someone mentioned that some drives have
trouble reading the end of the track. This was confirmed by my tests.

Messing with glibc must be done very carefully since the entire distro
depends on it. Also, updating glibc via source, when the system
expects an rpm is REALLY going to screw things up.

If you absolutely, positively have to mess with glibc, get the src.rpm
and rebuild with your own options.

I really like MailScanner. You can add it to your current system with very 
little effort, and add virus scanning very easily.
You will still need to spend time training and maybe write an occasional 
spamassassin rule, but that is just the nature of the game anymore. Spam 
changes constantly, and you have to change with it.

I've been running 5.1 for a long time, NP except the Firefox. I'm using
the 3.0rc1 now and all but the Java applets work fine with it. It is
more stable.

As to your specific problem, since hardware is not common among the
users reporting problems, I suspect that the only commonality is the
configuration *beginning* with the automated install. My thought is
there is some flaw in it that becomes common to (almost?) all the
installations.

It might be instructive to do one real manual install (that matches as
closely as possible the automated results) on a representative system
and an automated one. Then map the differences.

Just as general notes from astutely watching this list, I guess mixed
32/64 bit libs could be an issue. Components from mixed repositories?
All yum updated (been several things fixed since original 5.1 - I don't
know if they are related).

Have you examined the logs for any machines that seem consistently
problematic?

That's all that comes to mind ATM.

Alfred,

I can tell you that five (very different) desktop machines that I manage
work without any problems under CentOS 5, but they all run KDE.  Based on
my experience, I would be inclined to believe that your problems are
somehow Gnome related.

One thing usually gets underestimated is the need for CD/DVD burner's
firmware update.
It's in the firmware that are the definitions on how to properly write
to the different (specially the new) CD/DVD media.
Sometimes, even if you use the same brand and type of media, you could
get a somewhat different product, with slightly different
specifications.

[CentOS] General CentOS 5.1 (or Gnome) instability?

[Alfred von Campe]

I've been a big fan of CentOS for a while, and didn't have many  
issues with CentOS 4.X over the past few years.  However, since  
moving to CentOS 5.1 a few weeks ago, I have received more problem  
reports from my users than in the last year and a half on CentOS  
4.X.  I've previously reported the problem with gnome-terminal  
crashing (and since there is a single gnome-terminal process by  
default all your terminal windows disappear which makes this really  
painful), and now I'm getting multiple reports of Gnome applets  
suddenly quitting.  Sometimes this includes the entire screen  
"flashing" (probably a side effect of the "Show Desktop" applet  
exiting).  I've also had reports of some third party tools like  
SlickEdit misbehaving and/or crashing on CentOS 5.1.


Don't get me wrong; I'm not really complaining about CentOS.  I  
really appreciate what the CentOS team does.  I am just wondering if  
anyone else has seen these issues.  If it was just one or two users,  
I would suspect the hardware or some configuration issues.  But these  
issues started cropping up after I upgraded our existing systems to  
CentOS 5.1.  The "upgrade" was a complete reinstall via a kickstart  
script (I reformatted all partitions/LVs except for one), and all  
systems are configured identically.  BTW, I'm using CentOS for our  
desktops as well as our servers, and all these problems are really  
confined to the desktop systems.  Almost everyone uses the default  
Gnome desktop.


So, does anyone else have the perception that CentOS 5.X  
(particularly Gnome) is a little less stable than CentOS 4.X or is it  
just me?

It may be an obvious question, but did you open the ports in iptables? I use

work at ALL unless those ports are opened up in iptables.  I use different
ports, but here's the lines I inserted into my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file

192.168.1.0/24 --dports 111,2049,4000,4001,4002,4003 -j ACCEPT
  

You'll have to alter the '--dports' and '-s' parameters to match the ports
and IP address range you are using.

Hope that helps!

I use rewrite rules in .htaccess in drupal directory...

  # Rewrite URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x'.
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Thanks, that did the trick! I was staring at the docs for mod_rewrite and

Gary, 

While this is a CentOS list and you would probably get better help on the 
apache httpd list, I think you're looking for the P flag.  Your web server will 
proxy the request for you.  Keep in mind that the source ip of such requests 
will be your server, although I believe certain headers get set with the 
original ip of the client.

Yeah, a udev setting 660 or 600 perms to usb devices would
only allow admins or admins + those in a "trusted group" to
use USB devices.

You would also need to make sure the rules under /etc/security
don't override those set by udev.

I had a similar issue when trying our Fedora 9 on my NEW Gigabyte mboard.
It would install, but not boot.
Turned out Grub was writing it as /dev/hda during install, but on reboot, it
was /dev/sda.
I fixed it by boot of the F9 dvd, into rescue mode, chrooting, and
re-running grub install and specified sda.
Perhaps this is your issue. (I haven't followed the whole thread...)
Seems to be happening on just very recent motherboards, based on the little
bit of Googling I did.

Incompatible burn for that reader? (cd-r, cd+r, cd-rw, cd+rw ...)

Or maybe it is just the skew of the burn is outside of that

Basicly it comes down to GMT being based on the rotation of the earth
around its axis and the sun (which isn't completely regular) and UTC
being based on a Cesium atomic clock (which is far more accurate and
regular). UTC is regularly modified with "leap seconds" so that it
matches up to GMT to be the standard for date/time stamps. Also, UTC
is the authoriative measurement for calculations involving duration.

Sorry, I have never used that for inn before.

Maybe the file hook-python in the INN docs (if that is in the package)
helps a bit? It describes everything needed for authentication with
python.

One thing you could try first is moving nnrpd_auth.py to the filter path
(which is defined in inn.conf, search for pathfilter).

Take out *.pyc and *.pyo from the files section, these should be
automagically created once the corresponding .py gets called.


Are the files maybe in lib64 instead of lib ???

Also, did you compile in a 64bit only chroot or on a machine with mixed 
32bit/64bit packages ... a mixed environment can cause linking issues.

Yes that did show up a difference, so I copied the GB file to localtime, 
rebooted to make absolutely sure that it wasn't working on the old setting, 
and hoped that the situation was cured.  Unfortunately it isn't.

This is driving me crazy.  Now I can make an appointment for 10a.m., and 
depending on which computer I use to read the korganizer file it may show up 
as 10a.m. or 11a.m., and there's no indication, of course, which computer 
originated the entry, so I can't tell which is the correct version.

So i tried to compile it by myself from source rpm for centos5.1
First i tried compilation on 32bit Centos, result without errors, rpm were
builded. Then i edited spec file added --with-python line, again compilation
done OK.

But if i am trying same scenario on x86_64 :

i got during building phase error :

Processing files: inn-devel-2.4.3-12
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

RPM build errors:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] SPECS]#

which is not nice, :(

When i build INN from source downloaded on official site, i have no problem,
but i want to have rpm

Thanks for help!

Look in the spec file in the src.rpm. No idea. But ldd /path/to/innd
should also be able to tell you if it is linked against python:

libpython2.4.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 (0xb7d4d000)

(That's on a debian box, so it might differ on yours).

hlacik.*:A:never:never:never

(last match is used, so if you have some other matching entry *below*
that, this will not work. Just put it as the last line).

Cheers,

Ralph

readers.conf(5) tells me that it's python_auth.

Or you can sometimes boot with the m/board driver disk to flash the bios, 
putting the new bios file on a floppy or USB pendrive..
