Do not worry about it, most native speaking English don't bother to

I think so. Exactly as on the site :
http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
As it all installed without errors, I thought I had everything.

# iwlist
Usage: iwlist [interface] scanning [essid NNN] [last]
[interface] frequency
[interface] channel
[interface] bitrate
[interface] rate
[interface] encryption
[interface] keys
[interface] power
[interface] txpower

did that. do I have to change anything in /etc/udev/rules.d as well?
after reboot I now see a cabeled network ( wlan0) ( disconnected) and an
" Auto wlan0 marked as available

I thougt the wireless card requesting an ip adress and then dropping
dead might be the problem. Clearly not...

Re: [CentOS] openvpn + bridge utils in CentOS 6
This situation with pings is really strange...But in my case the solution was much easier . CentOS 6 was installed on VmWare virtual machine and the problem was in it network device configuration. The most hardly thing was to guess to that. After this I quickly found a solution: http://www.jeremycole.com/blog/2010/03/11/openvpn-bridge-under-vmware-esxi/ So, to my experience, the CentOS(or RedHat) work correctly, and may be you should try to look for errors in somewhere else (as in my case it was VmWare configuration). > Hello, > > I did not have read this issue before, but I have seen this problem > also.

But I do not have ANY experience with Broadcom radios. All I use are Atheros radios. Try creating "Connect to Hidden Network" connection (or whatever the actual text is) in NetworkManager GUI. You must see be able to set ESSID at other configs. If you do not have it, then something is wrong. You can also try using the kmod-wl package that I compiled per elrepo instructions: http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-x86_64/RPMS.plnet-compiled/kmod-wl-5_100_82_38-3.el6.el6.x86_64.rpm Maybe this makes a difference, but notice that I never tested it.

[CentOS] Linux hosts file /etc/hosts
Good afternoon Gentlemen, I have a question regarding /etc/hosts for CentOS 6 x64. I already have a hostname set on my server, however there are 10 additional IP aliases assigned to the box, one which I plan to use as a mail server. The mail server will be serving mail for a completely different domain (different then the default hostname of my box). My question is this: If I take one of my additional IP addresses and bind it to postfix for mail, do I also have to specify the remote IP and mail server hostname in /etc/hosts? For example my hosts looks something like this 127.0.0.1 localhost Can I add? 66.x.x.x mail.foo.bar Is this even necessary? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS 6 yum Groupinstall vs Manual install
Gentlemen, I have a question regarding yum groupinstall vs just using yum install. I have been reading tutorials online (for example how to run a Centos LAMP). Most of the tutorials have examples to install httpd, mysql, etc using yum install httpd The reason for this e-mail is that I noticed in yum grouplist that there is an option to install Web Server, MySQL database server, etc. Question: Is there any advantage to using yum groupinstall for a webserver as opposed to using yum install httpd?

Reindl, To my knowledge, all that needs to be configured is A records, MX records, and SPF records (along with correlating PTR's). This is a whole other subject and I feel I will have this correctly configured. My fear is that someone will send email out from my server, and the hostname might come back as my systems host INSTEAD of the mail server hostname. Is it good measure to add it to the hosts file anyway or is this a waste of time? I guess my understanding of the host file is clouded.

Okay so the host file only allows system applications to understand what IP's are bound to a specific host, but in actuality, DNS has to be setup correctly in terms of a public server. Is my understanding is correct now, then I think I am good to go. Thanks for all your help who responded to this thread Gentlemen.

Let me stress again: there is *no* *information* about the hosting hardware! It is "in the cloud", on some mainframe or cluster of the cloud provider. That hardware is potentially subject to change over time and at provider's discretion, without me even knowing about it. There are no sockets for me to count anywhere, only vCPU's. Damn, that's why it' called s a *virtual* machine! RH licence model is based on the assumption that I own or otherwise have physical access to the hardware on which I am to install RHEL, and can consequently count the physical sockets of that hardware. This assumption is *false* for the situation discussed above. The hardware is *not* available for counting sockets, and in addition is a moving target (subject to changes). If RH does not have that case covered at all, I can understand, and that's OK. It's probably best to contact a RH representative and discuss what to do on a case-by-case basis, which is also OK. What is *not* OK is people on this list authoritatively telling me that everything is clear and that I have difficulty understanding what they are saying. When in fact it is the other way around.

Sadly, ever since Broadcom released version 5.100.82.38 of the driver (December 2010), no solid evidence has been provided to prove this driver working on RHEL/CentOS 5 to this day - not even after the latest release (Oct 25th, 2011). The whole issue with the driver can be tracked at the ELRepo bug tracker: http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=193 As for the original poster is concerned, the only advice I can give, is to download an older driver version from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/b/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta_5.60.48.36.orig.tar.gz or http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/b/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta_5.10.91.9.3.orig.tar.gz and attempt compiling it using the Wiki manual http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom, since ELRepo .src.rpm for rebuilding the kernel independent ABI driver has been provided just a couple of months ago, for a driver which arguably never worked (for me and quite a few other people out there). So, following the manual step by step should get you there, Johan. Also, make sure you use NetworkManager instead of network service with your WiFi - if the driver turns out to be working, this will save you some time and nervs. -- *Kind Regards,* *Milos Blazevic* Signature Cert.

You'll probably need to add a pam_access.so reference to the stock /etc/pam.d/password-auth. Make the first "account" line account required pam_access.so Also, I assume that your system can access your netgroups properly, i.e., getent can see them: getent netgroup $groupname -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] coordinated NIS and LDAP servers
I have not used FreeIPA on CentOS. As I said previously, I highly recommend using Fedora servers as your FreeIPA servers, because it will install much easier and you should be able to get support from the freeipa-users mailing list. If you are set on using CentOS, I think you will need to use the RedHat IPA product instead. But the only success stories that I am familiar with are from the v1.x IPA product, which is old. http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-build-rhel-ipa-rpms-for-centos-5 -- Jonathan On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 1:52 PM, Boris Epstein wrote: > On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 4:23 AM, Jonathan Nilsson wrote: > > > > > You're welcome!

Maybe this is because it's a layered product offering by RHEL? It's painful to run Fedora as a production server unfortunately with its short lifecycle (at least in Enterprisey environments).

Re: [CentOS] Fwd: centos Wireless - Broadcom BCM4313 on Centos6 (cr repo)
Dear All, thanks for the reactions! Looks like I somehow fuzzled up when compiling the driver, because with Ljubomir 's driver, I can now see available networks. I woun't be able to test if I can actualy connect until later today or tomorrow.

[CentOS] Postfix mail server procedure
CentOS Community, I was wondering if anyone had a good resource or procedure for a step by step in installing a mail server with Centos. There ARE documents on google, however almost all that i've found were outdated from 2005.

I don't believe its supplied by CentOS, but its probably available from various third parties... I manage my mail servers with shell tools. you left out an important part of a mail server, which is a mail user agent such as dovecot or cyrus, these provide the POP and IMAP protocols that a user mail client such as Thunderbird need to read the mail. the basics of setting these up should be covered in the redhat doc above. -- john r pierceN 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
