Hi; I have Centos 5.3 on my laptop, and i have to use Cisco Vpn Client. I seen NetworkManager is capable using VPN with vpnc client. I installed vpnc package but i cant finde any NetworkManager-vpnc package. So when i try to open vpn connections and configure VPN option i cant seen add button as active. It is passive so i cant add new vpn connection.

Could you advice about second issue.

Adaptec - I don't know. They aquired a lot of companies over the years and thus the quality of the management-apps is/was sometimes questionable - and you never knew which one was good and which one wasn't as it varied between different revisions of the same hardware (which might have a similar name but a totally different tech inside...). I've got lot's of Adaptec-SCSI gear at home - just no use for it anymore, because SCSI-drives don't make sense anymore in a desktop. It's not even the capacity - it's the noise.

[CentOS] IBM ServeRAID Manager software
Hi there, I'm in the process of installing Centos 5.2 on an IBM x236 w/ ServeRAID 7k I recently acquired to act as a samba file server. The hardware has all passed various stress tests I could throw at it so we're okay there. My question is. Has anyone had any luck getting the latest IBM ServeRAID Manager v9.0 working in CentOS? If so how? ServeRAID Manager is based off Adaptec's Storage Manager and I'm encountering two errors. The first relates to the login. It asks me for my username & password then throws a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: authenticateUser error. I've tried it with both Sun Java 1.4 & 1.6 and the same error both times. There's also supposed to be a file /etc/pam.d/storman created according to the docs but nowhere in the rpm file or on the web can I find out what the contents of the file are supposed to look like. The second error, is after I hit cancel (which logs me in as guest), the software says no raid controller exists, which is of course incorrect. As a side note, I've already tried googling the problem, visiting Adaptec's site, and visiting IBM's support & developerworks sites. The support site's are useless and developerworks keeps spitting out HTTP 50x errors. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.

I have version 8.30 installed on some 336 servers and it seems to work fine - and I can run it on one box and access the others from the same interface. As I recall, I just did an rpm install from a cd that came with one of the machines - or maybe a later 3550 and it installed its own JVM and a shell script to start itself. I haven't actually used it for anything but looking at the disk status since the volumes were set up with the bios tools, but the authentication and everything works at least up to that point. I don't see anything special under /etc/pam.d but maybe that's new in 9.0. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Some newer cutting edge boards kind of "pushed" their specs a bit to tweak some extra speed and they have a list of "known good" ram parts that they recommend. This is usually most common with desktop boards that have been pressed into service as a server, which is less than ideal, since they really weren't designed for constant use. Also, hopefully the system is balanced with the ram in proper slots, since most ddr2 boards like matching pairs. I'd let the memtest run as long as you can, and maybe cover a few slots on the system if you can to get the heat up a bit, or at least leave all the covers on if it is on a bench. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Adding a kernel module to the ISO/installer initrd?
Greetings list! Because of the sheer number of box (re)installations we do that have a CentOS base, I've converted our provisioning process to PXE. However, I've found that an alarming number of motherboards are coming with the Realtek RTL8168 ethernet controller onboard. When the system boots, it cannot find an ethernet controller and the installer process hangs. I made a new initrd from a running system that was installed via CD and had the kernel module installed afterwards. However, when using the new initrd to PXE boot a new box, it dies saying something about not being able to use/find /dev. The original initrd from the ISO is 5.1MB whereas the initrd I built from the working system is only 2.4MB. I have a feeling that the initrd I built (using mkinitrd -v --with=r8168 ) does not include modules required by the installer. So, my question is this: is there a way to (1) create an initrd with ALL available modules or at the very least, (2) take the original ISO initrd and simply add the module I need? This initrd will need to work with all of the other hardware I support and should not be specialized for this single motherboard if possible. I've been up and down Google/CentOS Wiki/etc and cannot seem to find a valid way of doing either of the above. Suggestions, ideas, help? Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.

Thanks Scott and Guy, I appreciate the advice/warning. I can't download it at the moment because the Adaptec site requires the serial number. I have to reboot and get it from the SMOR (Storage Manager on ROM) utility.

A more rigorous test would be to zero out the partition table of the removed drive, or to use a new blank drive to test the recovery; however, what I think Karanbir meant by "silly" is that all these tests simply confirm that the RAID is working as designed.

The thing you need to know about RAIDs at runtime is whether or not one or more of the drives have already failed since their job is to hide this fact from you but you still need to replace it before you lose the other one and your data. Most systems have an error light or something that doesn't help much in a remote data center - so you need some hardware-specific monitor tool to report the status. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Problem with Logitech wireless keyboard EX110
I got a Logitech EX110 wireless keyboard and mouse set about a year or so ago, maybe more. The number pad on the keyboard stopped working after a while, so I complained to Logitech, and they sent me a new keyboard (actually, the whole set). I've had the problem on and off again a couple of times since then, but it usually only lasts a few days before all is well again. However, my son also has the same set (well, same model, different pieces of hardware) on his Windows XP machine, and he has _never_ had this problem. Tonight, he suggested that it might be a Linux problem, so I took our spare keyboard of this same type and switched them on my machine. Surprise: the new keyboard has exactly the same problem - no response from the number pad. Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The num lock and the Enter key both work, but the 5 key produces some control combination I don't recognize (seems to behave something like ^V of a previously ^X'd clipboard copy, unrelated to the current input), and the + key which seems to produce something like ^V^V, or "highlight the current terminal line" or something, but none of the other keys work at all. In any case, it looks like this is a problem with the keyboard driver, not the keyboard hardware. If I replace the wireless set with a wired keyboard and mouse, without rebooting, the mouse works, but the keyboard does not. (Apparently, after I tried the following, it turned out to be a bad keyboard) If I replace the keyboard and reboot, oh, foo, bad keyboard. But! If I reboot with a good keyboard, it works, and then I can switch back to the wireless set and everything works, _including_ the number pad: 0.123456789/*-+ Is there a way to refresh the keyboard driver without rebooting? Anyway, thoughts, suggestions, etc. welcome. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You might want to use the xev program under X11 to see what key codes are being seen by the system.
