Re: [CentOS] (semi-) rugged laptop running CentOS 5?

IBM Thinkpads are quite "strong" in th sense that they are very sturdy
and have titanium casing. Not rugged as such but I have travelled with
an X30 all over the place and it has been thrown into taxis, fallen
down stairs... still boots ;-)

[CentOS] Problem with first login

[sync]

Hi , guys:

I have a problem  on the openldap Manager account login :

   The server is running CentOS 5.3 i386  and I have
phpldapadmin-1.0.1-1.el5.noarch.rpm
installed .
 It's running apache 2.2.3  with php 5.1.6 and openldap 2.3.34.

I believe I have slapd setup correctly but I'm not completely sure.

My /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file has...

  access to *
by self write
by * read
by anonymous auth

 databasebdb
 suffix  "dc=my-domain,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com"
rootpw {SSHA}x

My /etc/ldap.conf has the following lines (among others)...
 host 127.0.0.1
 base dc=my-domain,dc=com

   If I do the following command...

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com" -W

   from the command line it asks for a password.

   If  I type the password I created with slapppassd and have as rootpw in
slapd.conf it carries on and returns the following (with comments
removed)...

   search: 2
   result: 32 No such object

   So it appears that from the command line authentication with ldap is
working.

   In my phpldapadmin config.php file i've modified the following lines...
  $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','host','127.0.0.1');
   $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','port','389');
  $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','auth_type','session');

   When I go to phpldapadmin and do "Anonymous Bind" it connects and allows
me to view the ldap tree.

   If I try and login with user "Manager" and the password I use on the
command line, it doesn't work giving me... "Bad username or password. Please
try again."

  I've also tried putting the following line to my config.php file but to no
avail...
  $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','base',array('my-domain', 'com'));

   Am I using the correct username?
  Are there any commands I can do to further check my ldap server is setup
correctly?
  Are there any log files I can look at?

  Thanks for all your help.

Your login user is "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com", not just "Manager".

Thanks for you reply ~

 But  i  typed  that you said , the result was also this : "Bad username or
passwd, Please try again"

I believe I typed the Manager account passwd  correctly .

What is the wrong with that  ?

Re: [CentOS] iTunes on CentOS?? [Solved]

[ken]

Thanks for link.  I should have known that wikipedia would have useful info.

The problem I was having was that I couldn't download a podcast from
iTunes.  (I figured that if I could download the file somehow, Linux
would have some way to play it.)  I installed wine and tried to install
iTunes (the software) onto that, but couldn't get it to install.  I've
been unable to discover any other possible way to connect to the iTunes
Store and, reading the link you gave, it seems that currently there
isn't any way.  This from wikipedia:

"With the release of iTunes 7.0, Apple changed their implementation of
DAAP. This change prevents any third-party client, such as a computer
running Linux, a modified Xbox, or any computer without iTunes
installed, from connecting to a remote iTunes repository. iTunes will
still connect as a client to other iTunes servers and to third-party
servers."

DAAP is the networking protocol Apple uses to move iTunes (the audio
files) around the internet and other networks.

Fortunately, a couple messages about iTunes.com failure to work with
Linux to the upstream podcast provider (Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" radio
show on NPR) found a sympathetic ear and they started posting MP3s of
their shows on their own website.  (Thanks, Terry!)

So, thanks to people at "Fresh Air" who understand Linux and the
artificial difficulties posed by commercial software, the problem has
effectively been solved.

 Well, I got wine installed, but iTunesSetup.exe cannot complete its
 installation.  It starts up, downloads files, but spits out a lot of
 error messages of the type:

 err:module:import_dll Library icuuc40.dll (which is needed by
 L"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Apple\\Apple Application
 Support\\CoreFoundation.dll") not found

 Then it says, Can't install. Try again later.

Try mounting your NFS volumes with:

rsize=32768,wsize=32768


Are the NFS servers on the same network speed as the samba servers?

 I found these
  http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-1984
  http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-May/148403.html
 and we're in the situation described (NetApp filer with no CIFS license).

 Investigating one of our sites with a working CentOS5 samba server shows
 that they indeed have "posix locking = no" in smb.conf.

 The bit that is still unclear to me, however, is that RH apply this to all
 of RHEL3,4,5, whereas we don't see this problem under RHEL3.

What about the default options that have changed?  Have you tried setting them 
back to what worked with RHEL3?  Be sure you are running nfsv3, udp, etc.

this doesn't seem right to me - at the point you do access to * by *,
every other ACL below that becomes meaningless.

your login 'name' in phpldapadmin would likely have to be the rootbinddn
at this stage... cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com as I think Alexander has
already pointed out. The 'server' base array should be
'dc=my-domain,dc=com'

[CentOS] warnquota email domain ?

[Jake Grimmett]

Dear All,

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question, or if I'm just being daft, 
but I can't get warnquota to send emails to the right address.

When I put a test user (gollum) over quota, and run warnquota on a server 
(nfs2.lmb.internal), the email generated by warnquota appears in the maillog 
as "to=," What I need is the email to go 
to "gol...@lmb.internal"

I have four NFS servers, using NIS / automounts (no LDAP), my users all have 
email addresses . Any ideas on how to get warnquota to 
work, or should I just write a script to parse `repquota -avgu` ?

many thanks

Jake

Trying again since it didn't seem to make it last time:

Well, re-exporting NFS imports via Samba is not really a supported
way to do things either, exactly due to the problems the OP is
encountering. So, if you are going to live on the edge, you may have
to get closer to it to get things to work.

This is usually an NFS issue, not a Samba one. Try setting
"posix locking = no" in smb.conf.

I don't think you understand how Red Hat (and thus CentOS) package
things.

The version of Amanda in RHEL 5.4 and CentOS 5.4 is indeed
2.5.0p2-8 (the -8 is important) and is not yet 6 months old, much
less 5 years old. When Red Hat packages RPMs, they often times
back port security patches and bugfixes.

As to why it crashed you server,  I can bet that there are other config
and software changes you have added "by hand" that may have caused
a problem. We have a few CentOS 5.4 systems running the standard
amanda packages without any problems.

actually, much more recent versions of iTunes actually do exchange data
with my daap server (Linux) and that information at wikipedia is out of
date.

Specifically current iTunes (9.x.x and even previous 8.x.x versions) do
not have a problem finding/using my Linux based mt-daapd server but of
course this does not have anything to do with actually trying to run
iTunes software under wine or subscribing to podcasts with URL's hostile
to everything but iTunes.

Are there subscription-friendly podcasts and software that don't involve 
itunes?  I'm more interested in knowing how this might work directly 
from an android phone (which I don't have yet), but anything that could 
replace the cycle of updating on itunes then having to sync an ipod to 
that specific device would be good to know.

of course, and just to verify, I used my android to go to
http://www.thisamericanlife.com and they have 2 podcast URL's - 1 for
itunes and one for everything else and it worked just fine (the other).

I think that people are starting to figure out that delivering Apple
proprietary content is good for Apple but not for the general public.

Just to be clear, I don't mean places where you can download mp3's 
through a link, I mean something where you can subscribe to a feed and 
have the software automatically download new copies as they appear, add 
them to a playlist, and optionally delete them after playing.  When I'm 
driving, I just want to select the playlist and always have the most 
recent subscribed and unplayed item at the top - without any 
intervention other than the initial subscription.

I'm not sure what's available on android to subscribe/download but using
the web browser (which you can bookmark), I was able to go to the
subscription url and it downloaded the current podcast and played it -
as mentioned above. I said 2 podcast URL's - I didn't realize that I
would have to repeat that.

Then try the Sun JDK (see previous posts).

Or try this (fairly recent) version of OpenJDK that I have repackaged
from Fedora to Centos 5, it contains the browser plugin (i386 much
less tested than x86_64):
http://www.argeo.org/linux/argeo-el/5/plus/i386/

You would need:
java-1.6.0-openjdk
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin
(WARNING: it replaces the stock Centos openjdk)

With the x86_64 version, I could open the applet of the online
application you are referring to.

It needs to be set back 10 days every ten days? I'd say you have a real

The question is as much about the state of the art in non-itunes 
software as the content sources.  With itunes, I can subscribe to some 
feeds and new items will be automatically downloaded when available and 
can be deleted after listening, and they can be included in a playlist 
that can be sorted by timestamps.  Then when I connect an ipod it can 
automatically sync this playlist, including bringing back the 'listened' 
status for subsequent deletion on the computer.  By naming the playlist 
so it is at the top on the ipod I can click the default items a few 
times without looking and always get the newest podcast - which has 
pretty much replaced all other content listening when I'm driving alone 
(my wife isn't thrilled by technical talk...).

I'm hoping that my next phone will be able to do this at least as 
conveniently by itself without the sync-to-computer step but it doesn't 
seem likely unless there is computer based software other than itunes 
that does it.

Make a script file like:
#!/bin/sh
date MMDDhhmm
echo /path/to/script | at now + 10 days


Chmod +x the script and run it as root at the starting time you want. 
It will run itself again in 10 days.  The "now + 10 days"  is literal - 
the program will do the math.

But, some strange things may happen to any cron jobs or other at 
commands that span the time warp.

Try piping the output of the 'yes' command to whatever script is asking

I thought that was one of the things you could set to default to 'yes' 
when you initially configure the cpan module, but it's been a long time

You can set your clock back a minute every minute from cron using the
"date" command.  Try:

 date -s "now - 1 minute"

If that's not good enough, you can write a loop that resets your clock
back a second every second, again using the "date" command.

while true
do
   date -s "now - 1 second"
   sleep 1
done


That should make time appear to stand still at the HH:MM:SS level.

Another possible method is to pause time itself.  However your
computer won't work any more, and will remain frozen without any
changes.

Re: [CentOS] Java RE

[Michael Klinosky]

I've been at this for a couple hours now, and I'm still lost. Making a 
long story really short - where is java supposed to be installed? 
(/usr/local? I don't have a /usr/java.)

*Some* details:
I figured that I just needed the plugin. Well, apparently there isn't 
one (not separate, on mozilla's plugin site). It seems that I have to 
sym-link to the .so file. However, I can't find it (even used the File 
Browser's 'search').

So, being that I have the basic 1.6.0 (no Update), I figured I'd just 
install 1.6.0U20. Well, that's no so easy when it's not the usual RPM, 
and you don't know where it should go.

I did find a dir with a bunch of java entries:
[r...@sr1220 lib]# pwd
/usr/lib
[r...@sr1220 lib]# ls java*
java:
java-1.3.1:
java-1.4.0:
java-1.4.1:
java-1.4.2:
java-1.5.0:
java-1.6.0:
java-ext:
But, they're empty.

The java wiki doesn't state a location, and neither
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java nor
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml
were of any help. (Btw, ~/.mozilla/plugins is empty - and I don't see it 
installed in /usr.)

Every path I try, I keep hitting a roadblock.

The concept Apple drives is to have a master iTunes application that
handles all of the device intelligence, whether it is software updates,
synchronization of software, etc. Clearly this is an Apple-ism and the
Android makes no attempt to replicate any of this, preferring to do
everything OTA. The pace of Android software development is so high now
that it's likely that someone is already writing or has already written
something that does what you want or you could even write your own
because unlike Apple, you don't actually need to jailbreak the phone or
get blessing from Apple to install on your telephone.

In reality, what you are asking for seems superfluous... you just keep a
bookmark of some podcast url and when you go there, it starts playing
the stream, you never have to actually store the podcast (and then have
to manage transfer from computer to device, delete old, etc.) and thus
the Apple methodology seems to be rather convoluted (and analog) by
comparison... but hey, that's just my opinion.

That's not really the same.  I subscribe to several different podcasts that 
update on different schedules.  They are mostly tech-news related so I always 
want to listen to the most recent, going on to older material as I catch up. 
And since I listen in the car I'd prefer to have the content pre-loaded and 
sorted appropriately in a playlist so it doesn't take any fiddling to play.  
The 
itunes->ipod scheme gets the details right automatically, including remembering 
the position in an older but unfinished piece and deleting after the content 
has 
been heard or skipped.  The piece I'd like to eliminate is the need to sync 
daily to a specific computer to make it work - but so far haven't seen any 
other 
software that gets the concepts right.

I actually do and is one of the reasons why I use it (if you read my

It is rather strange (and sad) what people assume and how you argue
a case. You have no idea who I am, what my knowledge is, what I have
learned, my degrees, my setup, my skill set ... nothing. You do not
even know what I backup, what machines, how many and the variety.

You simply assume:

  I can bet that there are other config and software changes 
  you have added "by hand" that may have caused a problem.

After I upgraded amanda, it hasn't fallen over at all with the same 
software on machine. I actually know the reason why it fell over, 
which is why I have chosen amanda-2.6.0p2 and NOT the latest version.
The changes made to (the core of) amanda made my life easier, my 
environment more stable and my users happy, which is what I am paid for.


BTW: I have been using Red Hat based software since Hurricane running
with samba fully employed at the place where I work half a year later
and amanda since late 1.9 and early 2.x versions.

I reckon this sounds fishy, too.
He's got some software that only works UP TO a certain time and
he wants to cheat (sorry extend) that.

No - it's not really the same, I agree and while I have had some
difficulty with podcasts on my iPod, it does generally remember where it
left off and generally works but does of course, require linking to the
computer which actually manages the device (and takes a long time
because I have a very large CD library).

Android does not have anything equivalent since there is no need for a
computer link but of course it can be mounted to any computer and thus
any scripted environment could easily copy/delete files from the
connected device. Whether there is an application that will do as you
wish, I don't know but there were 9,000 new applications last month for
the Android...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/android-market-gets-9-000-new-apps-in-march-world-domination-ca/

and of course given Apple's heavy handed approach to software on
iPods/iTunes/iPhones and DRM, I'm unlikely to purchase another device
from them.

speaking purely in generic terms, Sun Java is isually installed to 
/usr/java/jre_version/.   or /usr/jdk/jdk_version/..  and then 
generally /urs/bin/java links (or gnu alternates or whatever) to the 
'current' system wide default.but, Java -can- be installed 
absolutely anywhere you want to put it.   obviously RPM packages enforce 
their own ideas of where things go.

There ist no "kickstart software". Kickstart is a mix of pxe, tftp, dhcp
and a command file for anaconda. For details consult the fine
documentation at
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/ch-kickstart2.html

[CentOS] ibmasm service

[Janez Kosmrlj]

Does someone have any info on this service. It's supposed to configure and
have the tools to communicate with the ibm RSA.
I am looking for a procedure to configure the RSA without using the bios and
when possible set a access password.

Is this the right tool to do this or am i misunderstanding something.
