Hello,
I'm currently travelling (in south-eastern Europe) with a netbook
(Samsung NC 10) running CentOS 5.4 i386.
I frequently try to access internet from bars or hotels (mostly via wireless).
Although it works pretty often, it happens quite regularly that in
some hotels I cannot access internet

Hi All.
I plan to use virtualization in my production environment. I plan to use one
of the following options:
- KVM;
- VMWare Esxi;
- VMWare Workstation.
I plan to install Windows 2008 as a guest. I want to use something like LVM
snapshots for backups. Stability is also very important, the guest

Agreed. Many hotels have a proxy that requires agreement to their TOS as a

get the TOS page.
Hi
I have to use find to change the perms of a directory and files within
that directory recursively but i need to exclude a directory within the
top level directory, as its a netapp and so contains a read only
.snapshot dir.
I have tried...

I think RPMForge has this packaged if you're into installing a
third-party repo.

Thank you everybody !
I have been damned stupid, or tired - or both !
Actually, the file was hidden behind a mount point which failed briefly, but
long enough so that a backup took place - and was
dumped onto the filesystem - then the mount resumed, and hid the 10 GB backup
!!!
Thanks again !

it's been a while since i've played with filesystem encryption so,
on centos 5.4 (and other linux distros), is dm-crypt/LUKS considered
to be the state of the art WRT encryption? i remember other solutions

That's what I did finally. Cleanest solution was to delete the user
along with his home directory, and then create him anew using a custom
profile in /etc/skel.

Hi,
I'm currently installing a CentOS 5 desktop as a public internet access
point. The machine shuts down every day automatically at 22:30. Is there
a way I can display a message in GNOME at 22:15 warning the user that
the machine will shutdown in 15 minutes ?
Any suggestions ?

write or wall will work with open terminal windows - but shutdown offers
the option to send such a message itself with a grace period before the
actual shutdown.
xmessage is another option. I use it from time to time. It would need
minimal dependencies if that is a consideration.

Many thanks for all the quick and helpful answers!
Indeed it seems to be related to the DNS.
On CentOS, after connecting to the wireless network, I hacked the
/etc/resolv.conf generated by the NetworkManager and added Google
Public DNS to it.
I could then access all websites via their domain name

You could either use it directly or see in their SRPMs how they
managed to deal with the sqlite dependency.
That's only on terminals (tty's, xterm, console) OR if you have xconsole open.
