Strange thing happened at CentOS-5 system-config-samba

Something strange about samba at CentOS.
After all samba configurations are setup properly as PDC , have tested to join domain and user sharing and authentications, suddenly the system-config-samba has missed all the samba users as follows :

Here’s the trick.

First, you have to uninstall the system-config-samba-1.2.39-1.el5.noarch.rpm

# rpm -e system-config-samba-1.2.39-1.el5.noarch.rpm

then install system-config-samba for Fedora Core 9 , you may download here

# rpm -ivh system-config-samba-1.2.63-1.fc9.noarch.rpm –nodeps

Remember, use –nodeps parameter because the dependencies files are diffrent from CentOS.
And, you are done. You may see it at menu “Applications-System tools - Samba

Failed to mount NTFS on CentOS

# mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hardisk1

mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’

This message appears when you try to mount the media with ntfs filesystem.
Somehow the default centos kernel doesnt support it, you may upgrade to centosplus or try to configure your box as follows:

yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse
or download the packages from :
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse/

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse-ntfs-3g/

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/dkms-fuse/

then install the packages :

# rpm -ihv dkms-fuse-* fuse*

Mount Device to /media/myntfs

# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/myntfs

If you still fail, try this article http://www.domainnameyahoo.info/mount-ntfs-using-centos-plus/

DomainKeys

taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys

DomainKeys is an e-mail authentication system designed to verify the DNS domain of an e-mail sender and the message integrity. The DomainKeys specification has adopted aspects of Identified Internet Mail to create an enhanced protocol called DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). This merged specification is the basis for an IETF Working Group which guided the specification toward becoming an IETF standard.

The DKIM standard was issued in May 2007. The DomainKeys draft was also issued under “historical” status at the same time.
