If you want to build as a normal user (and you should!) you should fix the ownership of those directories. NO. Never do this. Why would that be a problem? Regards, Leonard. There are easily half a dozen reasons. The first one is that this is where root runs their builds: if you leave it with write permission for other users, they can replace components behind your back. Worse, they can replace the .spec file, so when software is built, it runs as the root user. Since various components do rely on RPM rebuilding, such as HP's Proliant Service Pack, it inserts a great glaring vulnerability to leverage when the rebuild occurs. Second, if you open the permissions there, multiple users can step on each other building similar packages at the same time, especially if they happen to be different versions of the same software. The third reason one is that /usr is typically of modest size, and leaving it open for RPM development can lead to many gigabytes of inappropriate debris scattering it. Many modern systems have a much larger /usr than they used to, but having to allocate that much extra space for compilation efforts may cause other interesting resource allocation problems. And overflowing /usr can cause very serious problems indeed. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I don't have time to wade through the documentation (and probably make a few mistakes and then have to start over a few times), to make a bootable iso for a usb stick. Since, according to what I've read, the files on this page do result in a working livecd, and since the newest contributions are two weeks old, I thought that somebody might have already created an image or two. So I was putting a call out. Just thought... it would be nice if the iso image for a usb stick would include space on the usb stick for writing data. The ultimate goal is to test the hardware on various laptops to ensure that the sound card, NIC(s), video, etc. are all supported by available drivers. Saved to a file on the usb stick for each machine tested, this information could be uploaded to the centos wiki for a pretty good Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)... and make shopping for that next machine a whole lot easier. And so there'd be no (or at least many fewer) unpleasant surprises when trying to install linux on that new machine you just got.

I have some CentOS 5 systems that are part of an Active Directory Windows 2003 domain (using natively configured files - not likewise open). getent passwd my_account reveals uid and gid are both 1:1. Thus, typing: % id reveals a uid of 1. /etc/passwd does NOT have my local account created - credentials are strictly from the Active Directory domain. The username is of the format se123456. I want my uid to be of the format 123456 (numeric part of the username. I have looked at many options for smb.conf configurations. At this point, I'm starting to believe that if getent passwd provides 1:1 fior uid/gid then id is providing the correct details. My SID from the domain controller is correct when queried from CentOS. usermod will not work to change the id since there is no entry in /etc/passwd. Might a shell script of some kind help convert my uid from 1 to 123456? It should not be static calculation, since anyone logging in to that system should have their id equal the numeric portion of their username, and the numeric part may be a smaller value than 1. The numeric part of the username matches no part of the SID from Windows. Thanks. Scott ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But is that what it means -- ie that those infrastructural libraries (libpango, libcairo etc) are continuously updateable to fairly recent versions? Longevity (things continue to work without breakage for a long time): This kind of implies don't keep stuff continously updated to recent versions don't you think? Support (help if it breaks, security updates etc.): Is often realised by fixing bugs in the shipped versions and/or backporting fixes. If so, the problem is in reconciling that meaning with the reputation of CentOS to only support older versions of applications (eg Firefox-1.5, Thunderbird-1.0 etc). yum list firefox on CentOS-5 as of right now: ... firefox.x86_64 3.6.13-2.el5.centos updates It does reconcile, of course, if the implications are merely that the CentOS user must compile and install the later versions of such applications from source, rather than having the luxury of pre-packaged binaries. It doesn't reconcile if there is some other critical reason why newer such applications just wont install. But which? It's very hard to get both I want to run the latest softwares and I want it to be stable for many years. When you run something like, for example, CentOS-5 you get stability (this means things to change completely from last month) and a long life (you can run it with updates enabled for many years). What you _don't_ get is the latest upstream version of libfoobar that would allow you to build or install application-whatever. ... Then there is a further question, I'm afraid. Since CentOS also does specifically target the profile of a so-called 'enterprise/server-user' what does that actually entail. It means pretty much what I've outlined above. Does it mean concrete security strictures which bolt down non-'root' users or does it merely mean the availability of SELinux (but which can be turned OFF)? For instance, Enterprise vs. non-enterprise linux has very little to do with default security behaviour. It has more to do with lifetime, support and what kind of 3rd party software and hardware it's been tested and qualified with. /Peter (with SELinux OFF), can a user still: (a) su root via Kterm anytime? (b) Access services-admin anytime via Menu+Pam to control printers, modems, daemons etc?

Hi. Running CentOS 5 with the default GNOME desktop. Is it possible to configure xterm windows not to have title bars to get the most out of the available screenspace? I don't know how to do it with Gnome but, with KDE 3, you can set up a shortcut to remove the window decorations on a per-window basis. Found a reference to Compiz but the version available through CentOS seems old (0.0.13 compared to the current around 0.8 or 0.9) and having a double zero version number, I was afraid to use it.

So even if those thousands of upstream projects managed to remain (from their perspective) perfectly backwards compatible things would still break.

You are familiar with the general picture, I'm sure. But thanks for the thought. You didn't exactly make it clear whether you've used CentOS or not, but keeping those interfaces from changing in ways that break things that used to work is the whole point of 'enterprise' distributions and CentOS inherits the work of backporting bug/security fixes without introducing behavior changes over the long life span from RHEL. You might also do your own homework and avoid components with a history of breaking backwards compatibility (like BerkeleyDB...). As you have probably noticed, core perl has excellent historical stability - interpolating unquoted @ in strings is just about the only change in perl 5 that might require a change all the way back from perl1 code. But the modules are done by lots of other people and occasionally are re-factored in ways that require coordinated changes. If you are getting these from a 3rd party repository, someone else has usually done the work of vetting the dependencies among them. Or, you might move to java for a more self-contained, OS/distribution independent way of doing things. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Update our notes in the README 7. Retrieve the SRPM using wget 8. Build the binary RPM When we inspect: ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/ we find the binary file: joe-2.9.8-4.i386.rpm ... and the build process works OK! I had to install ncurses-devel (did that as root) for joe to build OK. Then I did my new sox program, which built fine first time. So I well pleased to have rebuilt 2 src.rpm files. Now I know my build environment works OK, I can try building some other packages, by editing their spec files. Thanks to everyone for all the help I received with this.

[CentOS] Best way to set up for PHP websites

They're still, in many ways, figuring out what they are, but they do serve as a test bed, or perhaps development platform, for various things that aren't ready for prime time. I so often hear that Fedora breaks things. I've been running F-11 and F-12 on a server as KVM host, without issues. I've been using F8-F13 on several computers (3 laptops and a workstation), and I can't really say it has broken anything on my setups. It might be I'm not using it right to experience such breakage. Use cases are everything from mail, surf and OO.org to development tasks Really? I've been running KVM on Fedora for quite a few releases. NetworkManager has been something of a nightmare on several releases when dealing with VMs. Especially if you were doing bridging. Fedora has a slightly schizophrenic group of publicists. There are folks that insist that they are stable, and there are folks that tell you that they are the leading edge. If you scan the Fedora devel lists, it's not hard to find discussions between developers noting that they'll have to force users to use a particular new feature so that it will get properly tested (i.e. it's so freaking buggy that no one would use it unless forced to use it). That said, I use Fedora for my development systems, but CentOS for my production systems. In fact, for me, Fedora has been way more stable and solid than the time I was running Ubuntu (from Gibson to Ibix), where I got worried every time there were new updates available. But rightfully enough, I've never tried CentOS on the desktop. Maybe CentOS 6 will be a good choice for that. Depends on what you want for your desktop.

Re: [CentOS] How to strip out the title bar from xterm windows on CentOS 5 GNOME?
On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 3:11 PM, Aleksey Tsalolikhin atsaloli.t...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. Running CentOS 5 with the default GNOME desktop. Is it possible to configure xterm windows not to have title bars to get the most out of the available screenspace? The presence and appearance of title bars (except for the text content) are controlled by the window manager, not by the application framed in the window. In the case of the standard Gnome desktop, that application is metacity. So you need to look for how to configure title bars in metacity, not for title bars of xterm. I don't know if it's possible to arrange for only a particular application's windows to omit the title bars. There's a general theme tutorial here: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/metacity/metacity-themes.html ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is in fact *normal* for i[3456]86 *libraries* to be installed on a CentOS/RHEL x86_64 system (many are installed by default). It is possible to also install i[3456]86 *programs* as well, and this works just fine, since A) the x86_64 kernel/program loader is just as happy to run 32-bit programs as to run 64-bit programs and B) the various i[3456]86 *libraries* are also generally (or can be) installed. Installing a i686 *kernel* or *kernel module* is pretty much useless, unless you reboot with the 32-bit kernel. At which point your *64-bit* programs won't work :-(. You don't want to do that. For some programs/packages, installing the 32-bit version might be ill advised, but I don't think things will necessarily break. What you should *not* do is try to upgrade a 32-bit OS to 64-bit: you should *always* do a 'fresh install' if/when you do that. Make a backup of your /etc and /home and maybe things like /var/www and /var/ftp, dump your MySQL/Progress/OpenLDAP databases, etc., unless that stuff is on a separate file system.

Re: [CentOS] Best way to set up for PHP websites
Is there a how-to somewhere on getting php running with nginx? I would love to get that working. http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample We have around a dozen systems running in this configuration and it works well. They are among our lowest maintenance and highest performing sites that we have. Note that there is an fcgi package available (in EPEL, possibly also in rpmforge) which takes care of most of the configuration for you. You primarily need to pay attention to the nginx config and then make sure the fcgi service is running. Good luck. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
