[CentOS] Very strange problem i have faced in my 2 years carrier

Dear Concerns,

I would like to share a very strange problem. I am from Pakistan/Islamabad.
Last month i was on trainning
from Askari Bank Limited (Juniper). Here in Askari i m running NMS-- MRTGs
using CentOs 4.4. On trainning i recieved
a call from collique saying

 when i su -l NMS says root user doesnot exist. and also MRTGs not
working. well i was amazed how was it
possible. In the Evening i came back to office. I boot the machine in single
user mode and type the command;

less /etc/passwd

here when i found that user root existed, but the only thing that was
amazing is;

the spelling of root was changed from root to R00t. i changed to root
and every thing worked.

I want to ask, what is this, this doesnot seem a garbage value or nor
corruption of passwd file. only showing someone changes this. Here we have
bank private network, only two people have access  for it  me and  another
guy.

what are your opinions??

Please also share your strange experience.

Re: [CentOS] Centos Router

2007-09-12 Thread Mogens Kjaer

Graham Johnston wrote:
 With the current discuss of Performance of CentOS as a NAT gateway, I
 am curious how many people out there are using CentOS as a
 Router/Firewall in an enterprise or service provider environment.  For
 myself I am not really concerned about NAT just a stateful firewall. 

Our firewall runs on CentOS 5, x86_64.

It runs on a HP Workstation with dual core Xeon 5140 2.33 GHz.

Intel dual 82571EB NIC, one NIC for the external (we have 1 Gbit
internet connection), and one NIC for the internal connections
(two VLANs, one with DMZ other with ~250 machines). No NAT.

This is of course not a big setup, but the CentOS/Fedora mirror
in the DMZ does give some traffic.

The iptables setup has 119 rules.

No problems whatsoever with performance.

I've made a kickstart configuration for the firewall.
If we get a hardware crash on the fw, we can take another
machine and get it up running as a new firewill
within a few minutes (the most timeconsuming is formatting
the root partition). This is quite a nice setup.

This is usually done to change the root account name to something  
else. This is most often done for security - as most hacking attempts  
use the username root. Changing this to something else means that all  
those attempts would fail. As long as the UID is set to 0, most  
system things won't care that the user root is now known as R00t.

What is the minimum for actual hardware?  I have a small s390 here that

Typical install minimum is around 512 MB RAM and a few GB of DASD. If
you're installing in an LPAR you'll need to use the HMC to boot install
media from CD-ROM or tape. Under VM, you can use a CMS profile disk to move
the initial boot files onto DASD, then run a REXX exec to punch them to a
virtual RDR and then re-ipl. Once the install-time kernel has started, you
need to drive the install via SSH, or remote X or VNC (I forget which
mechanisms RHEL supports) and it needs to use either a physical interface
or a guest LAN interface, IUCV or VCTC to do that as well as download the
installation packages.

Once installation is done, I don't know what resources would be required to
rebuild the entire distro - that's where the developers come in. And
obiously another LPAR or VM guest would be required to test the built 5.0
system.

[CentOS] New mysql for the CentOSPlus repository includes mysql-cluster

CentOS has been distributing the Enterprise version of MySQL as part of
our CentOS Web Stack that is in the CentOSPlus repository of CentOS-4
for quite a while.

http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus/CentOSWebStack

MySQL has recently changed it's policy concerning the distribution of
it's Enterprise Sources (they no longer distribute them as a tarball):

http://www.linux.com/feature/118489

CentOS has also had problems getting Red Hat to distribute their GPL'ed
SRPM to us for the Enterprise MySQL version of their Red Hat Web
Application Stack (due to an agreement between MySQL and Red Hat):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230412

However, as you have come to expect from the CentOS project ... we did
not take these answers to mean that we would not be able to get the
Enterprise Sources for MySQL and distribute enterprise grade RPMS to our
customers.

I would like to publicly thank Proven Scaling, LLC
http://www.provenscaling.com/ (and specifically Jeremy Cole) for
continuing to provide the GPL'ed tarball in question.  Because of their
efforts and because of the organization that they contribute to known as
Dorsal Source http://www.dorsalsource.org/ we will continue to be be
able to easily provide the CentOS community with updated enterprise RPMS
for MySQL.  I would also like to personally recommend Proven Scaling,
LLC for any and all MySQL related work that you might need to have
accomplished, they are good people :D

That said, the latest version of MySQL that we are building for the
CentOS Web Stack has a package called mysql-cluster.  It was added
upstream in version 5.0.40 of the upstream product and this
(mysql-cluster-5.0.48-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm and
mysql-cluster-5.0.48-1.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm) is it's first appearance
in the CentOS Web Stack.

The mysql-cluster files are produced by adding this switch to the
compile mysql configuration statement:

--with-ndbcluster

For information about how you would use mysql-cluster, please see this
mysql documentation:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-cluster.html

This new mysql-cluster package is not required for normal mysql
operations, and will be available also for CentOS-5 from the testing
repository soon.

NOTE: for anyone who wants to upgrade their MySQL in CentOS-4, you need
to follow this guide if moving from the standard CentOS-4 (mysql-4.1.x)
to the CentOS webstack (mysql-5.0.x):

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrade.html

Now a lot of the extra keys have escape sequences ending in a ~ (eg ^[[14~

So if the OP saw ROOT (rather than R00T) then this is a possibility for

 What is the process and time frame for released software to be available in

php-5.2 will most likely not ever be included in CentOS-3,4,5 ... it
will probably be in CentOS-6 on release.

Enterprise software does not upgrade major software versions for
critical components ... it instead provides security updates and bugfix
updates to the components it ships with.

The upstream provider will roll in updates that they want using a
process called backporting.  See this explanation:

http://tinyurl.com/r77l2

Remember, changing ABI/API's and other function calls breaks software
already developed for an enterprise and enterprise level software is
designed to NOT do that.

It is possible that CentOS might (at some point) include php-5.2.0 in
the CentOSPlus repository
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus for CentOS-5 ...
probably not for CentOS-4 or CentOS-3 though.

Absolutely nothing is working at the moment, rpm, yum, etc.  I presume

If someone could outline how to do this, or point me to some docs I
would be most grateful.  (CentOS 4.3)

  


Copy the rpms you need to reinstall onto another rpm type system - any
somewhat current rpm type distro will do. Run rpm2cpio to extract the
rpm into a cpio package. Take that cpio pkg to your busted machine and
cpio extract the files. Things should then work OK. You should then be 
able to force rpm install the real rpm.


I've done this twice, a whacked rpm and glibc -
always used / as the working dir on the busted machine. Worked like a charm.

Excluding Packages from CentOS-4 - Plus

Could not find update match for perl
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

What am I missing?

Since the Base and Updates repos are:
priority=1

And since the CentOSPlus repo is:
priority=2

You will need to set perl (and any other items you want from CentOSPlus
to overwrite base and/or updates repo) to exclude= in the base repo and
the updates repo.

HOWEVER ... the perl in CentOSPlus is part of the CentOS Web Stack ...
and you need to use all the pieces of that together if you want to use
any of it ... see this guide:

http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus/CentOSWebStack

Actually, looking at the yum list output, it looks like the current
version installed is of the i386 architecture, while this machine is
x86_64? Is that the problem? If so is it safe to install the i386
package? Is there an easy way to do this via yum?

It depends ... you can use i386 or x86_64 or both. Adding this:

%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}

to a file called ~/.rpmmacros will allow you to do:

rpm -qa | sort

and see what i[3,4,5,6]86 and x86_64 packages are installed.

# uname -a
Linux dev 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 09:40:21 EST 2007
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You need a newer kernel :D

I'm begining to think the previous admin made some poor decisions on
this server...

[CentOS] question about modproble.conf

2007-09-12 Thread ann kok

Hi all

Can I ask question about modprobe.conf? I think fedora
is same as Centos. 

I have 1 x 4 ports broadcom NIC and 1 x 2 ports Intel
NIC installed in fedora 6 system

in /etc/modprobe.conf

the module:
aliase e1000 eth0
aliase e1000 eth1
aliase tg3   eth2
aliase tg3   eth3
aliase tg3   eth4
aliase tg3   eth5

but the dmesg|grep eth
eth4 and eth5 is intel card


but i change to the moderprobe and reboot


aliase tg3   eth0
aliase tg3   eth1
aliase tg3   eth2
aliase tg3   eth3
aliase e1000 eth4
aliase e1000 eth5


dmesg |grep eth

eth0 and eth1 becomes intel card

As I add additional and remove NIC before so that I
removed HW line HW address in all
/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-ethX file

Now. the system seems random in above option 1 and
option 2 after rebooting everytime!

Thank you for your help

Yes, you will need a specific SIP iptables filter for this to
work from behind a firewall.

I know of an H.323 filter, but haven't explored SIP as we aren't
running any SIP application here yet.

Another possibility would be a SIP proxy installed on the
firewall, but it is not as secure as a filter.

I concatenated dmesg, lsmod and lspci outputs from booting the install

Glancing through dmesg I do see the 3ware controller and sda, sdb,

recognized.

I then booted the updated kernel and reran the dmesg, lsmod and lspci
commands, then concatenated the outputs into another file and put it here:

I see differences with respect to the 3ware stuff and disks recognized, but 
I don't know how to reconcile them with the new kernel.  Both kernels
seem to load the 3ware module (lsmod output), but the updated kernel
doesn't see the raid devices (only /dev/sda and /dev/sdb).

  There are some that the bios will directly read from without an os
  being used.  The concept is to recover from failed bios upgrades.
  The reason I suggest this is because I think the setting that's
  keeping your system off is hiding in your bios' acpi table and I
  don't think a bios reset will dump it, but a bios upgrade might.
  
  My motherboard do support such BIOS upgrades (really nice since it's
  OS
  independent) but you need to get to the POST before you can ask it
  to
  search for the floppy.
  
  But it won't power on at all. The CPU FAN doesn't start, the disk
  doesn't rotate, the monitor doesn't get any signal. The only thing
  that
  indicates the slightest sign of life is the LED on the motherboard
  and
  my keyboard if I press Num Lock.
  
  Is there something on the motherboard I can disconnect to reset the
  ACPI
  table?
 Seems to me there is room to suspect a hardware issue instead of acpi.
 I would confirm power supply connector to mainboard by removing and
 reinserting until properly seated.  Also would confirm two wires from
 power button on case/chassis are correctly connected to proper pin
 terminals at edge of mainboard.  If still no joy, would swap a known
 good power supply.  If that fails, you might try removing the power
 switch leads from the pin terminal strip and use a phillips
 screwdriver blade or other appropriate tool to short the proper pins
 momentarily to start the beast.  I have replaced three bad power
 switches in the recent few years, so they do fail.

In its current configuration, this system has survived over 500 boots.
It has failed this one time, which is the only time I've tried to use
suspend. I've tested every component in other PC's and they all seem to
function properly, except the motherboard.

My theory is that the suspend succeeded but perhaps the BIOS settings

ProPack 5 has support for RHEL 5, thus why I would prefer to wait for 
CentOS 5.  I'm in a holding pattern on my migration until then since PP4 
is not *officially* supported on RHEL 4.


Currently my machines ( 64p x 64g 3700  32p x 32g prism) are running 
RHEL AS 3 PP3SP6 and SLES 10 PP4SP3.  CentOS 5 and ProPack 5 offers my 
users a great deal in terms of support and features.  I get regular 
updates, much newer software and supported (not from SGI) ProPack 5.


BTW: I tried booting on my 3700 it booted the kernel to a point where it 
identified the serial number and machine configuration details but 
didn't seem to go any further.  I only messed with it for about 20 mins 
during a downtime period so it was far from comprehensive testing. 
Hopefully, when the loaner Altix 450 arrives I can work out some of the 
bugs.

Where do I find info about this?  I suspect I will need to do this with 
every kernel update???


how exactly where you planning on managing out-of-tree kernel drivers otherwise 
?

btw, since this is a stable distro you are using, the chances are that the same 
driver will work through the life of the product. Try this command : 
/sbin/weak-modules and register the driver you have against that. Then reinstall 
 the updated kernel and the driver should move along.


I shall try and do some more specific docs on this, in the centos wiki, over the 
next few days.

[CentOS] Kickstart install surprise

I have to say that I was more that a bit surprised, if not to say dismayed
when I booted a system with CentOS 5 installed to test a kickstart CD in
interactive mode, took it to the custom partitioning screen, then rebooted
without saving anything only to come up with a grub prompt, and the disk's
partition table wiped.  The ks.cfg file did say to wipe the disk when
installing, but I would expect that it wouldn't do this in interactive mode
until one told it to start the installation.

I have been installing Linux systems for well over a decade, starting with
Caldera Network Desktop 1.0, all versions of Caldera through 2001, and SuSE
from 8.1 through SLES10, and never have I seen an installation procedure
that would write to anything on the hard drive without asking first.

This certainly violates the Principle of Least Surprise.

Anything that's in the kickstart file gets done without interaction.
You can leave parts of the kickstart file out, and it'll prompt you
for these things once it gets to this stage. If you told the ks.cfg to
wipe the disk, it will happily do this without asking questions.

The whole idea behind kickstart is that it does not ask questions.
It's for automated installs. Think pxe setup, or a computer lab, or
hundreds of identical workstations. Why answer questions on all of

 Hi,
 
 Phil Schaffner wrote:
  Karanbir provided driver disk images and indicated that kmod drivers

  The only src.rpm I could turn up was the last link above, and I did get
  CentOS-5 x86_64 kmod-style drivers to build from that one.  Found other
  indications that these drivers MIGHT be in the standard 5.1 kernel.
 
 Ive been talking to and working with the guys at Areca to get the
 drivers sorted, they are also working with upstream to get the driver
 included in the upstream kernel, for now - use the dd images I pushed,
 that will do-the-right-thing, and follow weak-updates, so you dont need
 kmod's for them with the kernels for c5 ( so far ) - I have half a dozen
 11xx and 12xx Areca cards in production, and I can tell you that they
 totally rock!

Please pardon the cross-posting to centos-users - in case others may be
interested.

Did a fresh install of CentOS-5 x86_64 on my server with Areca RAID (2
5TB RAID-5 arrays) with the OS on mirrored SCSI disks set up as software
RAID-1 using Karanbir's dd ISO image.  Used custom install and mounted
the existing Areca RAID arrays as /data1 and /data2 (as they were for
CentOS-4 - originally set up by the vendor with RHEL-4).  Install and
reboot went flawlessly, but after update to the latest kernel a reboot
did not find the driver for kernel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and left me in
single-user mode.  Copied /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/arcmsr.ko
created by the original installation to 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko 
did depmod -a and modprobe arcmsr and the Areca devices then
mounted.

I'm a newbie to weak-updates so would appreciate it if anyone could
point out the right way [TM] to do this automagically when a new
kernel is installed.  Perhaps my google-foo is off today, or I have not
exercised sufficient diligence to RTFM, but can't seem to find the
recipe.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Wanted to try the dkms approach and the spec file below (based on
RPMforge dkms-r1000.spec) worked for me.  Installing the resulting RPM
created /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/extra/arcmsr.ko, made a soft link
to it as /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko, and removed 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko

Should probably have figured out how to use the original ZIP archive
from the vendor

ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/DRIVER/CentOS/CentOS-5.0/1.20.0X.13/arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.zip

in the spec, but instead cheated and created a .tgz archive from it to
stay closer to the r1000 spec file's approach:

$ tar ztvf arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.tgz 
drwxrwxr-x prs/prs   0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/

arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/Makefile

Have yet to have a go at packaging the vendor's binary (CLI and HTTP)
files in an RPM (reference earlier nosrc.rpm discussions in this
thread), but did create a chkconfig-compatible script to set up the
httpd service after a manual install.  See below.

I would hope Areca drivers might appear on RPMforge or CentOS Extras
some day soon.  Comments appreciated.

anaconda-kickstart does not have a simulation mode. it might have been

kickstart ( its quite common to see the drive partitioning logic

This is not a trivial operation.

I was a principal in a company that developed a Linux based system to do
this about 8 years ago, with a product good enough that it made national
news when Bill Gates' home town of Medina Washington bought a system from
us, not a Windows based system.

The scanning can be done pretty nicely using a scanner with and ADF
(Automatic Document Feeder), and xsane has the ability to number pages
skipping numbers so one can can both sides of two-sided documents in two
passes.  The biggest issue is probably doing the OCR conversion to get text
for indexing.  We used proprietary software from Vividata for this which
worked pretty well.  I haven't looked seriously at gocr or other open
source OCR software for Linux so don't know how well it would work.

I've been using the ReadIris OCR software on Macs recently, which has some
very nice features such as handling multi-page PDF files well.

If I were to tackle this today, I would probably do it using Plone since it
handles things like indexing and organization well.

1) Lease a good copier/scanner that handles large scanning capacity and can scan

2) Get a good batch OCR program that will take an image-based PDF and create a
PDF text overlay (so the PDF can be full-text indexed).

3) Buy a good document management program, preferably one that can do

You can get all 3 from Ricoh, they have a very good copier/scanner with a

 anything.

anaconda-kickstart does not have a simulation mode. it might have been
well worth the time to investigate that before trying it out :)
assumption is dangerous. But then I suppose at this stage you might
point to me and say hindsight is an exacting science. Its always easier
to say what one might have or should have done.

virtual machine technology is fairly far along the road to stability,
thats always a good option when testing such stuff.

Also, when you say interactive mode - what exactly do you mean by that
? because Anaconda has two modes, Interactive and Kickstart scripted.
And as already been pointed out, you can skip portions out of the
kickstart ( its quite common to see the drive partitioning logic
commented out so that the person on $console might be able to do that
himself ), and anaconda will ask you about those questions. But you cant
really have a complete interactive install session and also have a
kickstart script running alongside.

The kickstart configuration file and system-config-kickstart tool
have an option for interactive kickstart installations, which I
ass-u-me-d would work much the same way autoyast automatic installs
do where I can abort the installation any time up to the point
where it says start-install, do you really want to do this?

My approach to writing GUI sysadmin tools is to have the GUI
collect the configuration parameters, then execute one or more
command line tools to do the real work.  One of the few things I
really liked about AIX was that their SMIT tool displays the
commands, and logs them as well which can be very useful to
figure out what's going on under the hood.  This is a bit easier
than ``touching'' a file to create a timestamp, doing something
with a GUI tool, the using ``find /etc -newer'' to figure out
what the GUI tool is actually doing.

 I would hardly call it venting.  I've made a serious effort not to say some
 of the things that come to mind (particularly when I found that not only
 had it nuked my hard drive, but also nuked the external USB drive that

ok thats interesting. by default anaconda should not touch the drives
its not creating partitions on. Unless you expressly tell it to. did
/var/log/anaconda.log, /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, /root/*.log have anything
interesting to say about why it might have nuked that other drive as well ?

That could be useful if I hadn't killed the install, only to find
myself with two empty disks without partition tables.

I just finished reinstalling the system, and now installing all
our OpenPKG based software on it.  Doing this, I am reminded of
something worth venting about -- the aliases on rm, mv, and cp to
keep the children from doing dangerous things :-).

 UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things,
 because that would also stop you from doing clever things. --

Re: [CentOS] Document Scanning and Storage

I guess it boils down to what someone needs out of such a system.  If you're 
looking to store text data from ocr conversion (for searching) then you could 
use a clob column as well as a blob for the image based version.  As for 
storing these in the db, php makes that easy since all file uploads are 
automatically stored in temporary files and it's just a matter of reading the 
contents and storing it in the db.  User rights can be regulated using a 
separate column for the entry.  Basically 6 columns would be all that's needed: 
record id (incrementing integer), a blob, a clob, group access field (I'd 
suggest an integer), date stored, and user who created the record. 

Of course a separate table to convert user logins to what groups they can 
access.

Now if you want to get more elaborate you could add a version column to the db 
so that updates to the record will create another row with the version number 
increased so the original isn't modified (ala subversion, cvs, etc).  Another 
column that stores a Boolean value could be used to store if the record is 
deleted (hidden in reality) or not.

Logins can be stored in the db and an apache mod can be used to use that 
information.

It's really not elaborate in creating the storage part.  It's always the ui 
that is the worst part of any project (both the admin and end user ui), but 
eclipse with struts and tiles or XML and xsl instead of tiles (personally, I 
prefer the xml/xsl approach, but to each their own) can make it less painful.  
I've had rather good experiences with eclipse and the redhat plugin (formerly 
exadel) for working with struts and tiles.

I'd like be able to set some permissions as well. (not a deal breaker...)
I've searched Sourceforge, and have seen knowledgetree, myDMS, contineo,
etc, but really would like to hear from someone that is using something
similar.

This is not a trivial operation.

I was a principal in a company that developed a Linux based system to do
this about 8 years ago, with a product good enough that it made national
news when Bill Gates' home town of Medina Washington bought a system from
us, not a Windows based system.

The scanning can be done pretty nicely using a scanner with and ADF
(Automatic Document Feeder), and xsane has the ability to number pages
skipping numbers so one can can both sides of two-sided documents in two
passes.  The biggest issue is probably doing the OCR conversion to get text
for indexing.  We used proprietary software from Vividata for this which
worked pretty well.  I haven't looked seriously at gocr or other open
source OCR software for Linux so don't know how well it would work.

I've been using the ReadIris OCR software on Macs recently, which has some
very nice features such as handling multi-page PDF files well.

If I were to tackle this today, I would probably do it using Plone since it
handles things like indexing and organization well.

Well I had initially done it on CentOS, but then moved it to Microsoft
ISA as managing both a CentOS and an ISA was becoming a PITA and I
liked how the ISA integrated with AD. Yeah I got GNU gatekeeper to

 virtual machine technology is fairly far along the road to stability,
 thats always a good option when testing such stuff.
 
 Also, when you say interactive mode - what exactly do you mean by that
 ? because Anaconda has two modes, Interactive and Kickstart scripted.
 And as already been pointed out, you can skip portions out of the
 kickstart ( its quite common to see the drive partitioning logic
 commented out so that the person on $console might be able to do that
 himself ), and anaconda will ask you about those questions. 
 But you cant
 really have a complete interactive install session and also have a
 kickstart script running alongside.
 
  I would hardly call it venting.  I've made a serious effort 
 not to say some
  of the things that come to mind (particularly when I found 
 that not only

 ok thats interesting. by default anaconda should not touch the drives

 /var/log/anaconda.log, /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, /root/*.log 
 have anything
 interesting to say about why it might have nuked that other 
 drive as well ?

Well actually there is the kickstart option 'clearpart --all'.

If one specifies a 'clearpart -all' without specifying which drives then
I believe the result is all partitions from all drives.

Definitely a VERY dangerous option, I would say that that should have been
clearly stated in the RHEL docs.

Agreed!  Furthermore, I don't think that system-config-kickstart provides
any options to selectively clear partitions.

Perhaps it would have been safer had I specified a particular drive in the
partitioning section.

I can sympathise with your situation Bill, but one should test carefully
these scripted installs first either on a Xen VM or VMware VM, or on a
bare-bones system that hasn't been customized yet.

Fortunately this machine was pretty bare-bones, and won't be installed at
our customer's until next Tuesday.  It cost me about a half-day though in
reconsructing things, and can be considered a learning experience.

The external drive was a copy of another external that I had to make as it
originally had an xfs file system (which I was surprised to find that
CentOS doesn't support by default as I've been using for several years on
SuSE systems).

I don't mean to be harping on SuSE, it's just that's what I've been working
with primarily for the last six years or so, and it's what I know best.  If
I were moving from CentOS/Red Hat to SuSE, I would probably be surprised by
things they support and SuSE doesn't.

Two things that I found different that affects our systems the most are (a)
lack of support for xfs and jfs file systems, and (b) lack of support for
ieee1394 external disks.

I've dabbled in gentoo, and ubuntu, but far prefer RPM based systems as
that's what I've used since I stared doing serious Linux work about 12
years ago.  I'm not an acolyte of the Church of GNU, and get turned off a
bit by the religious ferver of the GNU/Linux crowd.

If you want a descructive install may I recommend at least using
'clearpart --linux' which only wipes Linux partitions.

That wouldn't have saved the external drive as that had an ext3 Linux file
system.

Re: [CentOS] ASTERISK BOX behind a filewall

Why not put a second ethernet card in the ISA connected directly to the asterix 
server and have all inbound and outbound sip calls through it?  You could then 
preserve the IP addresses for both your internal and external addresses.  You 
wouldn't even have to nat to the asterix box since the ISA server could handle 
the routing and obviously if the source or dest is an internal IP then the 
packet gets sent to the internal interface and vice versa.

Running ``fgrep S.5 filename | grep '/usr/bin/' | wc'' returns
446 files that fail verification in just the /usr/bin directory.

This is on a system without prelink, and hasn't been up long
enough for cron to have run it in any case.  My guess is that it
has something to do with the way CentOS handles 64 bit packaging.
It appears that it's installing i386 and x86_64 versions of

I would have put it in the DMZ, but for this application it
