[CentOS] Downgrade an rpm
I have an app I suspect is not working right as certain rpm's are a higher version then it recommends. If I have used a 3rd party to install the app which dragged in many dependencies with it, what is the procedure to downgrade only the specific rpms I need?

I don't have a clue yet, but I thought if I posted my stuff, it might help. First, I think BIOS settings can affect the success/failure/stability of things. It might be worth experimenting there although you don't mention having changed anything. On my system, there seems to be a little "flakiness" re the sound. Sometimes just clicking the "Open Volume Control" and muting/unmuting a few things fixes it. This seems to be needed less with recent updates to the 4.x stuff (again, 32 bit). There is a kernel parameter that may have affect - see the end of this post. I wish that I could be more helpful, but I just use the stuff. :-( Turns out it was a wiring problem. Weird that it causes the driver module not to load. The original owner suggested that might be the problem so, after trying a CentOS 5.0 kernel and building and trying a 2.6.24.4 kernel I decided to crack the case. I pulled the cable for the case's front audio and mic off the motherboard and tried with that configuration. The good news was I no longer got the error documented in my earlier e-mail but still no sound. The case's front panel audio had two different connectors so I decided to try the other one and suddenly I had sound. No idea what the difference is between the two connectors. What's really strange is both front audio connection jacks are keyed correctly for the front panel audio out on the motherboard. It's just one works and the other doesn't.

For some inexplicable Murphy-like reason, the server load went back to normal levels shortly after I sent off the email to the list. The only possible explanation I could think of was that I killed the setroubleshootd process because it froze up after I tried to fiddle with the SELinux settings. There was some error in the log about unable to connect to the audit socket. After observing the back to normal loads for a few hours to confirm it wasn't a momentarily drop, I restarted the setroubleshootd process and yet the load remain normal. So my current uneducated guess is that the barrage of undeliverable email messages on the very first day caused SELinux to choke on a system/kernel level until the reporting daemon was killed to whatever was getting tied up to move on? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] World Writable Files
I'm curious. Why are so many system-generated files world-writable? On my Mandriva laptop, every day I get warnings that world-writable files are found in /tmp, /far/lib/ /var/run/ and /var/spool, and every day msec reports that it has changed the mode of several files in /var/log/. Why are they created like that? Anne signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
