Re: [CentOS] route question
This sounds more like a destination NAT issue then a routing issue. If I'm correct you have a server behind eth0 that handles traffic forwarded to it from either eth1 or eth2. So if someone types in the IP address of eth2 (or eth1) in their browser they'll get your server behind eth0. Am I correct? If so, what you want to look at is something called destination NAT or port forwarding. -- Drew Drew, I have a script that runs that sets all that up.

CentOS-5.5 is based on the upstream release EL 5.5 and includes packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release Notes for CentOS-5.5 can be found on-line at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.5 and everyone is encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ +++ Upgrading from CentOS-5.4 ( or CentOS-5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.3 ): If you are already running CentOS-5.4 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : 'yum update' Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check you are indeed on CentOS-5.5, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that should return: 'centos-release-5-5.el5.centos' +++ Live-CD: LiveCDs for CentOS-5.5 on i386 and x86_64 are being released at the same time as the main distro. The LiveCDs are meant to be used to run a CentOS 5.5 environment or to start a network based install. The LiveCDs are setup in a way so as to allow running from either optical media like cds and dvds or from USB keys and other portable media. +++ Change in iso counts: The i386 distro is now spread onto 7 CD iso files, while the x86_64 distro is now 8 CD isos. The x86_64 DVD set is now spread over 2 DVD isos, while the i386 DVD remains as 1 iso file. We've had to split the x86_64 dvd media over multiple disks due to the increase in the binary packages size. We have, however, tried to build them in a way that dvd#1 should be all that is needed by most people. x86_64 DVD#2 is limited to some OpenOffice.org language packages. x86_64 DVD#1 includes the rest of the distro and also includes the most popular OpenOffice.org language packs. More details on the exact split are available in the Release Notes. +++ Downloading CentOS-5.5 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over three hundred people seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. -- Via BitTorrent : CD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1to7.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent DVD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent LiveCD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent md5sum's for these torrent files: cdc45af66bf92987ada310e251d43398 CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1to7.torrent 5f623a38eab7f5eae21c3c4e3fe80c04 CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent 489aba8ea3d9f82973728813f5c1d0ad CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent a001e84db58e59113a83cf06730bf7fc CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrent 3836afe12e27435ff928e35f2d85db10 CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD.torrent 55a40ba2e170a6bd424732d4c4116041 CentOS-5.5-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent -- Via direct download: Due to bandwidth considerations the CentOS Project does not publish ISOS directly from our network machines.

That's because your kernel does not have a k10temp driver - it was only introduced into the mainline kernel around 2.6.32. There is a backported driver in ELRepo: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-k10temp yum install kmod-k10temp Red Hat did do a huge backport refresh of the /hwmon tree in el5.5, but they pulled from around kernel-2.6.26 which was before k10temp made it into the mainline kernel.

I guess it comes down to diminishing returns. PAE has been around for a few years and it may not be worth the effort for that prominent vendor to provide support for 5 year old, non-server systems that may be just fractions of their market. However, it's *just* a kernel... Kernels are relatively easy to build and don't necessarily affect much in the user space. You may be able to take the CentOS image, once it's ready, then rebuild with a non-PAE kernel. In fact centos already makes i586 kernels for centos5. I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same for centos6. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is it possible that the CentOS team might provide a non-PAE kernel alternative, similar to the way they did the i586 kernel for CentOS 4? It seems like this would be useful to those like me who use primarily recycled ( older ) hardware. What would be the proper way to request such a thing?

[CentOS] Problem with gs
Just updated a laptop.. everything went smoothly but noticed one issue. After updating and rebooting, I did a print test using enscript to print a test file. In a few seconds, the CPU utilization shot way up. The ghostprint gs program was using 99% CPU. The laptop fans started spinning at the high rate. Laptop got very hot very suddenly then shutdown. On reboot, the BIOS reported a temperature error and that the system was shutdown to prevent damage. On rebooting, the gs program kicked off again and again CPU shot up very high. Fans started kicking off. I killed the gs process and about 20 seconds later then fans went back to normal. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Not firewall, but what?

(on the healthy machine I previously used as a reference). I will have to study the ip command and routing a bit, then make a fix on the non-healthy (xen) box. I'd recommend either setting the rules up in a rules-eth0 or such file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, or using shorewall. Inventing your own system is workable, but as you've found, they tend not to be documented well which leads future admins (or even future you) to wonder how things work. Use the facilities available rather than fighting them. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] route question
That's funny. We *just* went over this in a thread with the subject not firewall, but what?. I even posted an example shorewall configuration that does what you're trying to do. You should either use shorewall, or if you're more familiar with Linux's ip command, set up the route-eth1 and route-eth2 and the rules-eth1 and rules-eth2 configuration files. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] update to 5.5 small issues
a couple hours after the update (and requisite reboot and reinstallation of nvidia proprietary driver), I noticed I wasn't gettting any email. upon a little investigation, I noted that the update had replaced my custom sendmail.cf with its own. I don't recall updates to sendmail doing that previously, also, around that time my panels stopped unhiding, so they remained in a hidden state that I could not recover them from. logged off and on and it didn't help, in fact it was worse: no panels at all. so I did a reboot and now they seem to be working. I'll have to keep an eagle-eye on them. so far, all else seems well.

I don't recall updates to sendmail doing that previously, Sounds like you installed a sendmail.cf that was not generated from /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and left the original sendmail.mc unmodified. The rpm updated the unmodified sendmail.mc configuration file. The startup script for sendmail then saw an apparently out-of-date sendmail.mc and rebuilt it from the new sendmail.cf. -- Bob Nichols NOSPAM is really part of my email address.
