But, as I said, if there was a common interface on all CentOS sites (wiki, website, forums, mirrors, projects) I am all for it. +1 Currently I am against it because it makes navigation even harder (since there is no clear hierarchy). That's why they call it a web. :-D Sorry - couldn't resist. I really do think there should be a reasonably prominent link from the Wiki header to the CentOS main page. The Logo as that link seems like a logical thing to me, but it could be done differently. There's always an easy way to get back to the Wiki with the bar on the main site page. A unified interface would be great, but that's a work-in-progress. Seems like a link on the current structure shouldn't be that hard, but then I'm not one who knows what that entails, nor that would get tasked with implementing it. Just my $0.02.

Para evitar que alguien encuentre el gateway de tu modem adsl, lo ideal es que una interface vaya al modem (podríamos llamarla ifwan) y otra interface vaya a tu switch que distribuye a la red (llamémoslo iflan). en el escenario con gateway adsl con ip 192.168.1.254 y box centos con 192.168.1.253, alguien con un traceroute podría encontrar que a pesar que el gateway que te defina el dhcp sea 192.168.1.253, realmente el siguiente paso antes de salir al exterior llega a 192.168.1.254, y a menos que el modem adsl tenga forma para bloquear macs y/o ips, se te van a colar por ahí.

That is to say, this happens only if the hd with CentOS is connected to power. If I disconnect the power connector to the CentOS drive, the Windows installer happily goes on. Is this to be expected, that Windows won't install if it sees a hd with another OS as master? It's a known issue - I've seen it affecting other distro's (Fedora in my case). It's a Windows XP thing, not specific to the distro, and only affects WinXP afaik (doesn't affect Win2K, couldn't care less about Vista). I first came across it trying to install WinXP on a system that had previously had Fedora on it and the installer hangs at a black screen. The solution is to do as you've done and disconnect the drive. In the OP's case, this would mean making the disk with Linux installed the 'slave' (/dev/hdb) and the new disk (for MS-Windows) the 'master' (/dev/hda). The OP would then have to boot up with a rescue disk to fix the /etc/fstab file (unless it uses labeled file systems) and re-install the boot loader. Thanks for the confirmation all. I'll try switching the master/slave settings.

I've been using this package list for years with some minor modifications: %packages @ admin-tools @ authoring-and-publishing @ base @ base-x @ development-tools @ editors @ emacs @ engineering-and-scientific @ games @ gnome-desktop @ gnome-software-development @ graphical-internet @ graphics @ kde-desktop @ kde-software-development @ legacy-software-development @ office @ printing @ server-cfg @ smb-server @ sound-and-video @ system-tools @ text-internet @ web-server @ x-software-development -dmraid -yum-updatesd boost boost-devel dejagnu ElectricFence foomatic expect minicom mkisofs ncurses-devel openmotif system-config-boot system-config-kickstart system-switch-mail system-switch-mail-gnome vim-X11 wireshark-gnome I'm not sure what to suggest..if your packages selection is complex try simplifying it. I believe what is going on during that stage is it's calculating all of the dependencies and stuff. I've tried removing a few things from the package list, but it still hung. Maybe I'll check the list archives for how to do a minimal install and try that, and then manually add all the remaining packages I need to see if that fixes the problem.

[CentOS] Yum update gone bad...
Morning list! I have a situation that was brought about by a system crash during a yum update. The motherboard suffered a catastrophic failure due to busted CAPS. Lucky for me (or so I thought at the time), I had a spare, identical motherboard as the one that failed. I replaced the dud board and rebooted. This machine runs headless and is my primary (personal/home) mail server. I normally access the booting console via hyper terminal when I need to change boot parameters or just watch the system boot up! Getting to the point, nothing comes up at all on the terminal screen. So I hooked up a monitor and keyboard (even a mouse) to check what was going on. What I noticed immediately was that the kernel screen selection screen did not appear! Instead, I just got a message at the bottom on the screen stating Grub Loading Stage 2 or something to that effect. Straight from there, was the usual scrolling text up to the point where SELinux starts. Then nothing displays at all until the final login screen. Not even the Nash screen that prompts one to enter I for interactive start-up appeared! Could someone enlighten me on what I could check? I have reinstalling all packages that were installed just before and after the system crash to no avail. This is a system that was running CentOS 5.3 final and I was updating several packages including upgrading the kernel from 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.

You can add some local users that will not belong to LDAP groups to the ignore list, that will probably fix most of your problems during bootup before the network is up: nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus In the past I have had problems with OpenLDAP not being able to get new connections because of the open file descriptors limit (of 1024) being reached, so it was not able to create new sockets. IIRC, the message on the logs was clear in that sense, saying the limit had been reached. To increase the number of file descriptors I added this line to /etc/sysconfig/ldap: ulimit -n 8192 If you are reaching the file descriptor limit, it may also mean that you do not have enough threads to work on the requests. You may increase that number. I have in my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: threads 64 When I start it up, it gives me a warning that this is larger than 32 which they think should be enough for anyone, but I guess that number is pretty outdated considering today's hardware. Anyway, I'd rather have too many and have a small overhead for the task switching than having too few and not being able to cope with a burst. Meanwhile I'm also getting some authentication problems with IMAP server (dovecot)... the only service that I didn't find any failure was with SSH, but it's only used occasionally. Since I introduced the changes above my problems with OpenLDAP stopped completely. I even implemented LDAP over SSL for all connections (including user/group lookup) after that and had no noticeable performance issues due to the overhead.

[CentOS] yum-updatesd no longer working
I recently enabled yum-updatesd on two identical servers and configured it to notify me of updates via e-mail. This worked fine to start with and it notified me on both machines when the kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64.rpm update was released last week. However, today I realised that yum-updatesd was not running and thought it was due to rebooting after the kernel update and that I'd forgotten to set it to start at boot. But this was not the case, it is set to start, however running '/sbin/service yum-updatesd start' yields: yum-updatesd dead but subsys locked I have tried removing /var/lock/subsys/yum-updatesd, but when I restart the service it says [OK] and yum-updatesd doesn't run, but the lock file is re-created. yum-updatesd --debug does not help either.

[CentOS] Subversion causing Apache to hog memory
Hello: I posted this to the subversion list yesterday and have not received a reponse. I am hoping someone on this list will be able to help me. I have a CentOS 5 server running subversion 1.5.6-0.2.el5.rf installed using yum from the rpmforge repository. I am using svnsync to mirror from another repository to the local machine. It is called from a cron job every 5 minutes. After a few days of running fine, I started getting this error from cron: svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svnsync: Error setting property 'sync-lock': Failed to start '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change' hook Looking in /var/log/httpd/error_log, I see this: Could not execute PROPPATCH.

Re: [CentOS] can non-owner change file group setup?
2009/5/12 mcclnx mcc mcc...@yahoo.com.tw: We are tried to count how many files belong to certain group. Our system administrator told us non-owner can easy change file group name to another. I have been tried several combination and never successful (only ROOT can change file group to other name). Does anyone know how no-owner can change file group name? In general this is disallowed! The reason is that in a system with quotas the common abuse tactic was to give files away to someone else yet hide them down inside your own directory. By giving files away you might never go over quota. Worse the poor other guy cannot find out why he is over quota. Some things may be possible with very open directory permissions. If directory permissions are wide open (777) is possible to take ownership of a file indirectly by making a copy then deleting the original. This is not possible on dirs where the T bit is set. $ ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 39 root root 4096 2009-05-15 21:48 /tmp Also if you are in a multi group situation you can move files between groups that you are a member of. This multi group case makes sense from the accounting point of view. -- NiftyCluster T o m M i t c h e l l ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
