yes.  i did, and don't remember encountering any problems at all.
  i can say, you need to make sure to download the appropriate pkcs-11
  headers (they tell you where to get them in documentation included
  with the source code).

oh... sorry about that... i was half-ignoring your actual error...
  it looks like it might be a problem with your wxWidgets install
  (you need wxWidgets too... also mentioned in the documentation)
  i have 2.8.9 installed, myself...

A little birdy told me that Roger Wells said:

] thanks again.

i recompiled truecypt again (just to make sure it still works fine...
  it did)... anyways, just FYI i pass the following to configure in
  my package build of wxWidgets:

--enable-unicode --with-motif=no --with-gtk=yes

i suppose i should upgrade to 2.8.10... must be getting lazy...
  i'll let you know if i run into problems with 2.8.10 itself...

Re: [CentOS] Firewall/Proxy with time window access control

Re: [CentOS] Sendmail conf

2008-07-22 Thread Benjamin Karhan

A little birdy told me that Joseph L. Casale said:

] A long time ago someone helped me with setting up sendmail to simply queue

] 1) edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and set

] postfix!

we have a special use system that does this...
it's easy enough... especially if other accounts don't actually exist
  on the mail server...
first we define:

 define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:root')dnl

  in sendmail.mc before regenerating the .cf file...
  then, in /etc/aliases we also redefine root to the intended
  end recipients:

root:   (list of comma-separated) user(s)

  the end result being that ALL incoming email goes to the
  account(s) listed in the root alias...
and i think that's about it... but then again, that particular
  system is set up so that none of the other user accounts
  that we are expecting email from actually exist...
i suppose you could simply fix that limitation by adding
  similar forwards in /etc/aliases for any other actual account
  such as:

actual-local-user:root

anyways... that seems a relatively simple solution...
  if anyone can see problems/caveats jump right in...

Re: [CentOS] Plone

2008-04-08 Thread Benjamin Karhan

A little birdy told me that Bill Campbell said:

] Have you tried plone.org?  There are a variety of quick install
] methods available?
] 
] Do you have Zope installed?

i've gotten Plone running under CentOS 4 pretty easily...
  taking the Universal Installer from the Plone site and
  modifying it (for various reasons, but especially because
  it tends to compile various libraries -- like libz --
  as shared libraries AND install them in /usr/local...
  this i solved by forcing them to install as static, making
  Plone link with the static versions, and making them all
  install in the Plone installation tree)...

i've every reason to believe that the modified installer
  i made would work fine for CentOS 5 too...
  but we're still in the process of adopting/upgrading
  to 5 (we've run into a variety of problems with 5 and
  some pricy proprietary software that officially supports
  RHEL 4 but not 5... not to mention a number of issues with the
  newer SE-Linux specs that we haven't worked out yet)

Re: [CentOS] Why Kudzu, Why?

just as a quick mention...
i have noticed that when running the CentOS5 Xen kernel,
  with the default Xen configuration, rebooting had a 
  tendency to reset the hardware MAC address to the fictional
  MAC created by the network-bridge script.
  (this may not effect all hardware, but i have seen it
  definately effect the tulip driver)

this behavior only happened on reboots, and a complete
  poweroff/poweron always reset the MAC to it's original
  value.

i solved it (re: prevented this behavior) by changing the
  Xen configuration to use network-route instead of the
  default bridge behavior... but this, no doubt, has other
  ramifications beyond solving the problem.

just wanted to mention this in case it's causing anyone
  similar headaches...
