[CentOS] [OT ] Re: Laptop for CentOS-5
In case anyone is interested in the result of the advice and discussion that my query generated, I bought a Macintosh PowerBook on Saturday. My initial experience was very satisfactory. The strong points were the ease of set-up, an amazingly short start up time (even from a cold start), and a simply unbelievable battery life. The weak points including the magnetic coupled power supply--the d/c cable from the transformer to the laptop is simply too short. Even with the optional long a/c cable and plug the cable is just too short to avoid dislodging it frequently when adjusting ones sitting position. another 40 to 50 cm of cable length is required I think. Another weakness is a re-occurring problem with the AirPort wireless adapter. The Mac worked with my existing WPA2/TKIP shared secret mixed-mode wireless home lan out of the box (once the key was provided). When Internet connectivity was established I immediately updated the OS to 10.6.2. Once this completed I worked on the system for a few hours getting somewhat accustomed to the Apple way of doing things. Everything worked very well. The next day however, after again working with the system on the wireless network without problem for several hours, I performed an Apple software update. Immediately following this update the AirPort wireless network adapter began exhibiting poor performance with many dropped packets, resulting in poor response times, and frequent disconnections from the wireless network. I spent about seven hours tracking this problem down, resetting the PRAM and so-forth on the basis of instructions found on various blogs, FAQs and forums. Apparently this problem is fairly common although strangely absent from the official Apple FAQ, at least as far as I could see. Along the way I discovered that with OS-X 10.6 the PRAM no longer holds any network configuration setting so older how-to's which advise this are useless. In the end I followed a frequently encountered recommendation to purge: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and immediately restarted the powerbook. This seemed to clear the problem, although by this time it was after midnight and I did not stay up to test it extensively. I also uncovered and issue with Firefox 3.5.7 and Mac Java. If one has a Java application active in any tab then switching tabs results in the java application window staying visible, although no longer responsive. The contents of the active tab are thereby obscured while those portions of the page that are not under the java window are displayed. Switching back to the tab containing the java app restores responsiveness to the application window. I could not find any thing on this from Google, although I am not sure how one describes this circumstance to a search engine. I am really not enthralled with the inability to cut and paste from a Safari web page, or any desktop application for that matter, directly into a terminal window. This is a particular PAI for me as I often have to connect via ssh to remote sites and perform maintenance in vi.

[CentOS] Securing http authentication from brute force attacks
We have several web applications deployed under Apache that require a user id / password authentication. Some of these use htdigest and others use the application itself.

However, I am not convinced that these changes are the answer.

[CentOS] ntpd appears to not be able to query ntp servers automatically?
Hello all, After reboot, one of my servers running CentOS5 no longer keeps its clock synced automatically. ntpd is running and I don't see anything weird being logged. If I kick off ntpd with 'ntpd -q', it will sync the clock. However, if I just rely on ntpd started with 'service ntpd start', syncing does not happen. I previously had: # Undisciplined Local Clock. This is a fake driver intended for backup # and when no outside source of synchronized time is available. server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 and noticed that ntpd would fail down to using the undisciplined local clock if I checked with ntpstat. I commented those out, and now ntpstat simply says: unsynchronised time server re-starting polling server every 64 Any idea as to why ntpd -q will sync, but otherwise the clock will not stay in sync even when the local clock drifts by several minutes? It worked fine prior to reboot. Thanks, Ryan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Setup multiple bridges for use with KVM
I'm using the same setup for multiple bridges for Xen, no problem. But I use static IP addresses. You *have* to use IP numbers from different subnets. I've setup just the IPADDR= and NETMASK= to have different static IPs in different subnets and changed to the BOOTPROTO=static in each of the ifcfg-brX scripts. This hasn't fixed my issue. Perhaps it's because of the way I'm trying to use it (or I don't get it). Does each VM that is using a specific bridged device need to have the same IP subnet as that of the static brX address? What I am trying to accomplish here is this: Router (192.168.7.1) - eth0/br0 (10.1.10.1) - VM01 (with internal vr0 and vr1 attached to br0 and br1 and a bridged IP of 192.168.7.253, running Untangle in bridge mode) VM01 eth1/br1 --- local switch - eth2/br2 -- other running VMs. Thinking that the internal bridging done by the Untangle VM might have caused an issue... I setup just a stock Win Server 2003 install with a single ethernet device attached to br0 and set a static IP in the 192.168.7.X range (in Win 2k3 VM). The untangle VM is shutdown. I still can't ping 192.168.7.1 from the Win2k3 VM. Thanks, Jacob ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] [OT ] Re: Laptop for CentOS-5
In case anyone is interested in the result of the advice and discussion that my query generated, I bought a Macintosh PowerBook on Saturday. My understanding is that PowerBook are (were) based on PPC architecture and are not sold by Apple anymore. Since you talk about Mac OS 10.6 (aka. Snow Leopard) I assume that you bought an intel-based one, so I guess this is either a MacBook or a MacBook Pro. (I still have an old PowerBook 12'' running Fedora 11 PPC, that I don't really use anymore but we went through a lot of weird countries and experiences together, so I keep it and let my 1.5 year son play with it from time to time... Sorry for the sentimental OT) Anyway, these minor points aside (although if the AirPort connectivity issue is not resolved then that will be a show-stopper) I seem to have been captured by the light side. We will have to see if I escape or become assimilated. If I may give you an advice: before you have configured to much on the Mac OS side, please repartition it and leave a 20/50 GB space on it (at the end) This is very very manageable to use Linux on these computers, Fedora and even CentOS (see my previous posts, and our discussion off-list), but a sticky point is the repartioning. Very often the simplest way is to reinstall MacOS (there are other ways though). So even if you don't plan to use Linux on it on the short time, just leave some space for it now on the harddrive. As long as you have done that, Linux installation is painless (using rEFIT) and safe for your MacOS install. (and the terminal is quite good on Linux...) Feel free to contact me offlist or open a new thread if I can help you with that (as I told you before, this is on my TODO list to add documentation regarding Mactels on the CentOS wiki) My 20$ (at least) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I went ahead and did the glib correction but I was wondering if using the rpm was not the rght thing to do, Thanks. I personally do not see anything wrong with using the rpm to install VMware Server.

Re: [CentOS] rsync optimization
We are now doing on the work to reduce the amount of images that would be compared before rsync many of which maybe aready exist on the receiving end. After we do a successful rsync, we log the images transfered, and we use another script to delete them on the send end. And that turns out to be helpful in this case. 2010-01-12 xufengnju 发件人： Kwan Lowe 发送时间： 2010-01-11 21:14:58 收件人： CentOS mailing list 抄送： 主题： Re: [CentOS] rsync optimization On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 4:36 AM, xufengnju xufeng...@sina.com wrote: Hi, We currently have upload servers in one data center(A), and users upload the images there.

You can add the following options: --ignore-times --delay-updates The first will speed up the comparison. The second can prevent some errors related to synchronization on the receiving side. BTW, have you considered using a DRBD volume with GFS? This might work better than rsync, depending on your configuration. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] digikam and mp3 sound on RHEL
Hi All; after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL Workstation. I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system to play mp3's. I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos repository. What do you'all think? If so, could someone point me to the correct repo(s) and the packages I'd need for playing mp3's?
