Yes, that was what I had been doing, but I wanted to avoid the
use of ssh completely, the connection is secured over a vpn, silly
to incur the overhead of encryption, twice.

An rsync daemon was used and the passwords automated with a password
file and this has been working well for a few days...

rsync already defaults to ssh as transport but with
$ rsync -e 'ssh -i keyfile'
you can use rsync with a ssh key.

I have a less-than-ideal but so-far working setup with Centos 5 on this
computer which has a Radeon x1950 card in it.

When I first set this machine up I put Fedora 10 on it and it "just
worked".  But I changed it over to Centos 5 a couple of months ago and
have found that drivers that come with Centos 5 don't support this card
properly; "man radeon" doesn't list it as a supported card; it was
listed as supported by Fedora 10.  It works with the vesa driver, but
not at the 1680x1050 resolution that my monitor uses.

I reluctantly downloaded and installed
ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run

Now my monitor runs at 1680x1050 like it should.  It's my understanding
that the 3d stuff doesn't work completely right because I seem to have a
strange mix of SGI, ATI and Mesa listed when I run glxinfo, but since I
don't do 3d stuff it really doesn't bother me.  3d does actually
work,anyway, because glxgears runs and gives me about 2030fps, so I
don't know if I'm actually missing out on anything.

I'm kind of hoping that a Centos update will come around that supports
my Radeon x1950 card natively so I can get away from the ATI proprietary
junk that I seem to be stuck with at the moment.

As previous posters have mentioned, SquirrelMail is commonly used for
web mail. Not fancy, but it seems to work well. Giving the users the
option to use IMAP is very powerful. One can check their email on the
web, on their Desktop, cell phone/PDA, etc., read/write/delete and
everything syncs up and you have a backup on your Desktop or the web.
You are on gmail, so if you haven't already configured it for IMAP,
give it a try.

[CentOS] Centos and RadeonHD 4570

2010-01-17 Thread Lucian @ lastdot.org
Hi guys,

Recently I've done a bad bad thing, buying a laptop with an ATI card.
The card itself is supposed to be quite decent performance wise, but
the ATI drivers still suck a lot.
I haven't yet tried booting Centos on this laptop, but I used a Fedora
12 LiveCD. Fedora displays things nicely, but no 3D accel (I like to
play OpenArena/Tremulous every now and then).
After some serious googling I learned that I cannot even install ATI
Catalyst driver on Fedora, because of too new Xorg.
Do you have any success stories with running Centos and have 3D
acceleration on this video card?

lspci reports:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN
[Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92
[MobilityRadeon HD 4500 Series]

Yes, 2 gpus. I think it's this hybrid thing:
http://ati.amd.com/technology/hybridgraphics/technology.html

Your feedback will be appreciated. I will not end up using Win7.

I have used zoneedit for some small, low-DNS traffic domains, for many
years without problems.  If you have a ton of DNS traffic, you can still

To clarify that I mean one default gateway (destination of 0.0.0.0/0),
you can have multiple routes on the same network w/o resorting to

[CentOS] Dual Gateways, Dual IPs on the same net

2010-01-17 Thread Mr Gabriel
If I configure a second virtual ip address on a device, will it always
send packets to the gateway configured, or to it's primary gateway.

For example, two ISPs configured, two firewalls configured, gateway IP's
192.168.1.1 and .2.  Internal server has IP 192.168.1.100 with gateway
.1. Incoming packets that have been forwarded from outside, (for
instance an SSH session), will be returned to .1 for routing back to the
internet.

If a virtual adapter is configured with ip 192.168.1.101 and a gateway
of .2 will traffic that is destined to 101, always be returned .2???

Looking at the web site of zoneedit it looks pretty serious, so going

I have used freedns.afraid.org without any issues. But it's strictly

You can get a RapidSSL certificate (single root which is easier to
install) from Namecheap for $10.95 a year.
http://www.namecheap.com/learn/other-services/cheap-ssl-certificate-rapidssl.asp


Or, you can get a free SSL certificate, with Intermediate
certificates, which are a little harder to install, from StartSSL.
I got one of those.
http://www.startssl.com/

Each site needs an SSL certificate and a Dedicated IP address.
