RE: [CentOS] DJB's daemontools package

[RobertH]

With all due respect...

Do any of you that gave advice on finding DJB software in rpm format use any
of the software that you are giving advice on finding in rpm format or
otherwise?

If you do use it, you can do better.   :-)

If not, well... then you are talking out yer' rear ends.

It is best to go to the source and learn all you can, then make your own rpm
or know what you are looking for in an rpm and specifically why.

http://cr.yp.to

and it wasn't the hard to google for

daemontools rpm

or the other packages in rpm format.

you must be using CentOS-4 and that version of Evolution is really,
really old.

I'm not sure that ancient version of evolution-addressbook-export can
export directly to csv but if so, that would be more usable for
importing into thunderbird.

Replying to myself, in case anyone else wants to escape from Evolution. 
It's possible to Export the Evolution Contacts in .vcf format.  I did 
that and then I used a converter at this URL: 
http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/
and I converted the .vcf file to both .ldif (which I suspect will give 
me a better result, when I Import the data) and to .csv
When I have time, I will back up this box and then I will do the 
Migration from Evolution to Thunderbird.:-)

Also, look at the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel and make sure the default

That thought crossed my mind, too.  However, it doesn't explain why the 
problem only affects new connections from Linux hosts.  Also, I believe 
that the listen queue is per-port, and this problem affects all ports 
equally, including oddball ports used by the web server.  I'm the only 
one connecting to those ports.


There are certainly differences between the SYN packets from Linux hosts 
and those from Windows.  On Linux, I see a window size of 5840, and tcp 
options: MSS=1460, SACK permitted, timestamps, and window scale: 7.


On Windows, the window size is 65535, MSS=1460, and SACK permitted.

However, I have no idea why any of those differences would cause a 
problem intermittently.

I have a 286-based system (might be 386 - not sure) that ran last time
I turned it on, and it has my ST506 MFM controller in it with a full
height Maxtor 140MB drive in it running DOS 3.3 (I think).  I don't
think I've turned it on in the last ten years or so - can't remember.

Wait - I've got a better one!

Way back in 1981, I bought a Commodore 64 with disk drive and
everything, and my wife used it for a while to write a bunch of stuff,
which we saved onto floppy.  We wound up taking the thing back because
there was a really nasty bug in the 64's OS (or something) that would
kill the machine and lose all data under certain, not too hard to
reproduce, circumstances.

In 2002, after much pleading from the other half, I got a 1541 disk
drive and a PC <-> 1541 data transfer cable from a gent in Hungary
(who makes them, relatively cheap) and restored ALL those files from
the C-64 onto my Win 98 PC.  It was instructive, amusing, and I'll
never (have to) do that again!

Unless someone needs some old C-64 files recovered, for a fee, of course

Uh oh, my fingers are seizing up - yeaaargh!

Sounds like the remote server may actually be busy and the number of

remote server isn't doing an accept() and so the three way handshake

Re: [CentOS] OT: workstation recommends: Thinkmate?

I'm not going to speak on the Intel vs. AMD issue.

However, I've bought 10 workstations and 5 servers from Thinkmate over
the last year.  I've been pretty happy with them.

They use quality components, we have direct numbers for people there.
I like their website, when we've had to RMA something, it wasn't an
issue.

Search for qmailtoaster.  They used to maintain src RPM's back before
qmail was released to the public domain.

There might be some binaries out there either maintained by them or
other projects... I haven't seen anything other than an initial blurb
on getting it packaged up for Fedora / EPEL though.  I imagine it's
weird file layout would probably provide a bit of a hurdle for
acceptance along with license questions surrounding public domain.

It's a hangover from my professional days. The best quote from one of my
managers ever was "Geez! You're so  hard to manage, but we don't
want to lose you!". I had a rep as being um... "independent". Never wore
ties... until they were sure I wouldn't and then I showed up with one
just to throw them off-kilter.

My best quote ever (in the presence of 200+ members of the organization
in which I had some responsibilities):

VP: Bill, why do you ask such tough questions?
ME: You know what a totem pole is?
VP: Yes, so?
ME: Well, think about it. When you're the bottom man on the totem pole
and you look up, all you can see is a$$holes above you (said with a
perfectly straight face).
VP et al: <*uproarious laughter*>

The hoomon brain is a wonderful associative processor. Sometimes I think

Does this happen for all users?  Do the two accounts that exhibit the

AFAICT, there is something odd about the way card readers work, such
that they seem to be passive devices, by which I mean that they don't
do anything unless a card is in them when they are plugged into the
reading host, and removing the card and plugging in another one
doesn't do enough to spark the host's interest.

I have always had to plug the card into the reader, then the reader
into the host; after 'umount'ing the device, I unplug the reader, then
remove the card to put in another one (if I want to read more than
one), then plug the reader back in.  Maybe that's just my reader, but
I suspect the USB-based ones are not all too different.

Anyway, as long as your problem is solved, that's good.  Hopefully.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 5 card reader automount

Frank Cox a écrit :


I've just got a card reader and it doesn't automount.  I can mount it
manually with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp" and that works fine.

I would prefer to have it automount and give me the desktop icon.
Unfortunately, I don't yet know enough about the automounting mechanism to know
what I need to change to make this happen.



Try this:

# /etc/init.d/pcscd start  --> Smart Card Reader daemon!

And if it works:

# chkconfig pcscd on

The person who owns the computer in question just sent me an email to say that
the card reader is now working.  She plugged in her flash drive and that didn't
work either, so she rebooted the machine and now the flash drive and the card
reader are both working.

First, how did you get it to do that?  I don't see the system monitor
on any of the menus, and when I run it from the command line, I get
the whole app, not just a dynamic icon.

If I can duplicate your problem, I'd have a better chance of finding it

1. On the gnome desktop in the top panel (or menu bar) I have an icon for

As I recall, it was not recommended by our Upstream, or our developers, 
to upgrade from 4.x to 5.x? Possibly there is some issue, causing the 
strange differences you are seeing. I'm also a GNOME user, but I don't

have a solution for you. Hoping someone else will know how to cure it.

Lanny, if you are concerned about data loss, you could install a local imap

Looks simple and straightforward to do:

The most demanding operation you'd want such a server to do is probably 
feeding video/media files to a DLNA client like an xbox360 or PS3 which 
sometimes involves transcoding the content.  You'd probably get the most 
specific advice about device capabilities on the forums for those 
programs (mediatomb, for example, which runs on a lot of the small

[CentOS] Virtual email with Postfix, MySQL and Dovecot problem

[Lunix1618]

Hello all,

Anyone of you success to install virtual email with Postfix, MySQL and 
Dovecot on CentOS 5.2 ? I am running: mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5, 
postfix-2.3.3-2.el5.centos.mysql_pgsql and dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 on CentOS 
5.2 box and can not make it work.


All deamons (mysqld, postfix master, dovecot) are running but I can not 
make it deliver email to virtual user via Dovecot.
The log file show that postfix is not deliver email to virtual user but 
it deliver to all virtual aliased address.


The configuration file is working with my test on laptop that running 
Fedora 9 with mysql-server-5.0.51a-1.fc9.i386, postfix-2.5.1-2.fc9.i386 
and dovecot-1.0.15-10.fc9.i386


The version number is not too much different so I think it is not a problem.

Attached are config files that working on fedora 9 and I using it on 
CentOS but not work
This configuration I followed the guide at 
http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/


I am not native English speaker so my explanation above may not clearly

No need to apologize to anyone. You just take it in stride and don't let
it bother you.

Often folks don't have a comprehension that various constraints - e.g.
time, job pressures, being early on the learning curve - make a plea for
help the most logical thing to do ATM. And they don't alwyas know if
folks hove done even a modicum of research. Often they assume the worst.

Centos 5 supports 686 or better. I *think* the geode is a 586 type cpu.

Something like Puppy or DSL would probably be better. The hw vendor may

That will be really nice, yes.  Another things would be to provide the
iwl3945 module as kmod (or dkms).  By the way, there is a newer
version of the above firmware:

[CentOS] Gnome Desktop Questions?

[James B. Byrne]

I have a couple of oddities that I hope someone here can clarify for me.

OS = CentOS-5.2 all updates applied to date.

1. On the gnome desktop in the top panel (or menu bar) I have an icon for
"System Monitor" which runs the application "gnome-system-monitor".  On my
other desktop CentOS-5.2 system I have the same thing.  However, one one
system the icon gives me a real time (ok 5 sec intervals) display of cpu
load as cyan and white bar graphs .  On the other system the same
application gives me a static, sickly green and yellow, display of an
oscilloscope. How do I get the dynamic version of the icon?  I have
checked and both systems are running the same version of the applicvation
from the same location. /usr/bin/gnome-system-monitor --version = 2.16.0

2. On the same two systems, the first (the one with the dynamic display)
has entries on the system dropdown menufor locking the display, logging
out and shutting down.  On the second all I have is logout and suspend. 
Going to the Gnome Menu manager does not give me any option to add the
missing items.

Can somebody tell me how to get these minor, but for me very desirable,
changes made to the second system?  The only difference between the two
systems that I can recall is that one (the first) was upgraded from 4.6
while the second (the more limited unit) was a clean install.

What a procedure to hack that thing!

That's why I want to put straight Linux on it:)

As fun as hacking that thing would be, I might just buy one of the tiny
boards, but for the price if I brick the DNS-323 it would still be fun
and I wouldn't really care!

What's involved in building an embedded version of CentOS for a Soekris or 
similar
small mobo? Is that a feat worth considering or is the work involved huge?

Thanks a lot guys!

You can swap cdrom from qemu monitor. I haven't tried, but I think the
same thing can be applied to usb..
It looks like the qemu monitor should let you either eject the device or 
delete/add the USB drive using usb_del and usb_add.  I wasn't able to 
get it to work.  W2K gives me a control to unmount the thumb drive in 
the system tray which makes the drive "disappear" from W2K.  
Unfortunately, attaching a new drive or just reattaching the old drive 
isn't recognized by W2K.  qemu monitor tells me it unable to add the new 
device or delete the old device.


If hot swapping a USB drive can be made to work with qemu, swapping a 
USB drive will still be ugly.  The USB device number assigned by the 
kernel changes each time I swap thumb drives.  This isn't too bad but 
access to /proc/bus/usb// is root:root 
with permissions rw-r--r--.  This means that each time I swap the drive 
I have to chmod the "new" USB device entry.  I don't see this changing 
even if I can get qemu to let me add the new device.


I'll have to try using qemu monitor to swap a CD-ROM at some point in 
the future.  Usually I only use W2K and IE under qemu to access those 
few sites that still only work with IE (e.g., my state's income tax site).


Cheers,
Dave

The Dlink can be easly upgraded; I can't find an english page now, but I guess
you'll find all the info that you need googling a bit.
It has gig nic, 2 disk and a bittorrent client. If you want you can add other
clients (like mldonkey) on a kind of chrooted environment and with a bit of
hacking you can also install a full Debian inside (but this involves soldering
a serial interface, for what I can understand), is quiet and is quite flexible
on the configuration even on the standard configuration.
I just saw one yesterday, and looked interesting; the owner is fully satisfied.

[CentOS] gFTP IPv6 bug

[Robert Moskowitz]

I found the following bug report that matches what I am seeing with the 
gFTP we have in Centos:


http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350813

This is an old bug that they claim has been fixed in CVS.  Has that been 
applied to what we are running?  Becuase gFTP crashes for me on IPv6 
using FTP.

[CentOS] OT: Home NAS device

[Joseph L. Casale]

I am looking for something that I can hack away like a NSLU2 but that thing 
only has one disc
and worst of all its 100m interface. Anyone know of a device you can load Linux 
on that has
maybe 2 discs like a NAS200 with a gig nic? I need a quiet device to act as a 
tftp-dhcp/web/dns
system.

I thought of just building one from a new Soekris board, or even a mini itx but 
hope there was
something simpler/cheaper.

Lanny, if you are concerned about data loss, you could install a local imap
server (over wich you'll can do all the backups that you like) and keep it in
sync with google with imapsync (rpmforge repository).
Looks simple and straightforward to do:
