I assume you have something like: proxy=http://: with a possible proxy_username=whoever and proxy_password=whatever if required in yum.conf Check these again, I find I often read what I thought I typed, not what I actually did. If this is correct tcpdump may give you some useful information on what is actually happening. Regards ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Updating default.pa in .pulse directories and granting access to pulse* groups also rings a bell. Sadly I kept few notes on this so can only find this hint at present. There must be better ways to do it and if you get it working I would be keen to know how, so please provide feedback. I also recall murmurs of security issues around shared pulse services, obviously more so if the ip is not localhost, so consider that too. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This is covering the basics, but did you perhaps limit the IP range allowed to connect to the samba service in /etc/samba/smb.conf in either the interfaces = or hosts allow = statements to exclude the external network? As far as I know these statements have not changed between CentOS 5 and 6. Sane defaults typically limit this so your shares are not potentially exposed to the wider internet. Alternatively, is your default route set up properly for the other network on both machines? If your samba is configured for access via tcp_wrappers /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny comes into play. This is again not standard configuration. If these suggestions don't solve it we may need extracts from your configuration files. Exclude comments and mask sensitive information before you post these. In the basic port open or not firewall configuration the server should not care where the connection comes from so I would look at the samba configuration first. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you use su only, you assume root privileges without the root environment. Rather do su - which gives you the full root environment, including path. The same holds for other users, i..e su - joe switches the user to the user joe with full environment. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] madwifi on Centos 5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5
Any of these approaches will work. There is a bug in madwifi (or at least a difference in opinion on RH kernels) as per http://madwifi.org/ticket/1956 As documented there this requires a trivial source code change in order to get the modules to compile. If your system already attempts to compile the module at boot time you only need to make the change in the code found under /usr/src and all should be well. If not, compile it from madwifi source or an atrpms source rpm as per your preference.

This depends how you start firefox. The /usr/bin/firefox script will always start the 64 bit version if it is installed. If contains a check that sets MOZ_LIB_DIR to use the 64 bit version: MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib" if [ -x "/usr/lib64/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin" ] then MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64" fi You may need to intervene here to use the 32 bit version. A simple check when firefox is running is to do: $ ps -ef | grep firefox this will return lines containing either: /usr/lib64/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin which is the 64 bit version, or /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin which is the 32 bit version. If you edit /usr/bin/firefox directly to prevent it from using the 64 bit version it will work for all users, but you need to redo it with every firefox update. If you copy this to for example /usr/bin/firefox32 you need to manually create a shortcut to start firefox for all affected users. (If you update the original menu entry it may well be replaced with an update - I have not tested this.) I tend to update a shortcut on the panel, which is more convenient to use.

Publish this mirror on a internal website, for example link it to: /var/www/html/repo/Centos (which means it will be visible on http://reposerver/repo/Centos , where reposerver resolves to the local web server. Then modify the file /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base, comment out the mirrorlist entry and add one like: #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=os baseurl=http://reposerver/repo/CentOS/$releasever/os/$basearch/ (for base) Do this for every repository that you mirror. Place this updated file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ on all your CentOS servers and the server will update from it for yum.
