[CentOS] scim-panel-gtk segfault
Hello, Running kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.centos.plus on centos5, on shutdown sometimes I get: Starting killall: Sending all processes the TERM signal...scim-panel-gtk ...scim-panel-gtk[4065]- segfault at... error 4. (sometimes there is one segfault error and sometimes 7+] Also, [and this may be unrelated] I occasionally can't boot into X and need to: #rm /tmp/.X0-lock Then I can startx. I have noticed sometimes that I get the segfault, but the next time I boot, I can boot into X. I really don't know enough to guess whether sometimes it is finishing X and removing the lock before the segfault and sometimes it is not. I am not so unhappy with the situation but being unknowledable of course worry about what effects a segfault during shutdown may have. I do notice that after the segfaults, it goes on to unmount the filesystems and other things that it does normally (but I can't say everything normally as I don't really understand the normal steps of it shutting down). I'd like to: 1) figure out how to stop the segfault especially since sometimes the scim panel won't appear after a reboot (and requires another reboot to appear again). 2) see if the scim segfault is causing the trouble with X starting and if not, figure out why the lock is not being removed. If you have suggestions as to what to look into, I am happy to hear them. The only thing I have tried is googling scim-panel-gtk segfault and found scim-lib 0.99.6 is available (13 Aug 2004) Fixed a bug which causes segfault on x86_64 platform. But that must be a different bug as: rpm -qa | grep scim-lib scim-libs-1.4.4-39.el5.x86_64 I saw an RPM someplace for scim-debug but wouldn't really know how to go about trying to debug it. Shawn P.S. Note, I do not believe this is in anyway connected to being a centos plus kernel as on a stock kernel had the trouble. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Only you can decide how valuable your assets are and how much effort you should expend protecting them. (But an usurped box also hurts the rest of us, once it becomes a bot available to spam or otherwise attack other hosts.) You should have other techniques in play to defend your system, such as iptables, tcp wrappers, LUA, SSL, and strong passwords. SELinux presents another hurdle that attackers must get past. My policy is not to permanently disable it but to figure out how to use it. I'm currently reading the two premier books on it to understand it. So far I haven't had to disable it to get things working, but I've had to defer deployment of some services or figure out workarounds. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Newbie ADSL configuration, ppp0 can't activate & config not found
I am frustrated. This is a dual boot box, Win XP (Spanish) and CentOS 4.4. The phone company man came today and installed ADSL to the WinXP side and that works fine. I can't get the box online, while in CentOS 4.4. The ADSL router has a fixed IP address (192.168.1.1) and he configured it to get the IP from the ISP via DHCP and get the DNS servers automatically. When I try that on CentOS (which is what I use 99% of the time), it doesn't connect. In the Network Configuration for eth0, things seem OK, but the configuration for xDSL, ppp0, probably needs something I do not have in it and it won't activate. Questions: (a) should I have network configurations for both eth0 and ppp0? I've tried it with both and only with ppp0. (b) is there a possibility that the NIC, which is integrated onto the motherboard and has always worked fine on our home LAN, as eth0, won't work properly as ppp0? If so, should I disable it and install a NIC in the box? I've looked in the RHEL Step by Step Guide for RHEL 4 and Systems Administrators Guides, but they don't seem to cover this issue. Any links to a step by step how to, to do something I believe is simple, but, where I'm missing something, will be greatly appreciated!

I've read through smatterings of postings from Neophasis and the like searching for just the syntax and what file (I assume it's main.cf) I should be using; however, any smtpd_ lines I have tried result in postfix hanging and refusing to deliver mail. I could simply cease using smarthost, but my ip address is dynamic (yes I know stop yelling at me I'm poor right now) so mail bounces to some domains if I don't use smarthost. The server I'm running postfix on is CentOS 4 (fully updated). Postfix version is 2.2.10-1.1.el4 (from rpm -qa). I have not had sufficient downtime to upgrade to CentOS 5. Should I do that. Adam Shostack had a howto on how to accomplish this at one point. I suspect it will turn up if you google around for it.

Re: [CentOS] Newbie ADSL configuration, ppp0 can't activate & config not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am frustrated. This is a dual boot box, Win XP (Spanish) and CentOS 4.4. The phone company man came today and installed ADSL to the WinXP side and that works fine. I can't get the box online, while in CentOS 4.4. The ADSL router has a fixed IP address (192.168.1.1) and he configured it to get the IP from the ISP via DHCP and get the DNS servers automatically. When I try that on CentOS (which is what I use 99% of the time), it doesn't connect. In the Network Configuration for eth0, things seem OK, but the configuration for xDSL, ppp0, probably needs something I do not have in it and it won't activate. If you have a router, then the ADSL connection you have is handled by the router, and is invisible to you, on the LAN side of the router. The router could be connecting to the WAN via a piece of wet string, as far as you care. So you should just have eth0 do DHCP and leave it connected to the router. You'll get an address like 192.168.1.2 from the router. You don't need ppp0 at all; to Centos the router appears like a LAN that routes to the Internet. In Windows, do "ipconfig" in a Command window, and you'll see what I mean. You should see something similar with ifconfig in Centos. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
