Assuming it is the same as fedora, put the lines DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop to change it for all users.

This advice is so often repeated by people on lists. This is a pretty normal function of modern hard drives. The drive needs to reallocate the bad sectors. It does not mean that the drive is failing unless there have been a large number of sectors requiring reallocation or it keeps happening often. Have a look at this to fix them for normal drives without raid: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html Linux raid will rewrite the block if it is in the raided part of the disk. You can force a scrub doing this (md0 is the raid device). echo check > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action Check /proc/mdstat and dmesg for status. You should be doing this weekly to identify bad blocks, so check your crontab. Jeremy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This might be a silly question, but does /proc/mounts show the "hard" option? You need this unless you like getting R/W errors when you get a lot of traffic.

No - you only need a "normal" rsync installed on each side. rsync uses a ssh/rsh connection to copy the data, so you don't need a special server. rsync starts itself on the remote server over the ssh connection. If you run a high-volume site, an rsync server is available (though this has had quite a few security issues in the past).

[CentOS] MD5 and NIS
Does anybody know whether it is possible to enable MD5 passwords for NIS and local passwords? Is it just a matter of running authconfig --enablemd5 and new passwords will use MD5 and old ones will still work? Of course using LDAP might be a "better" solution (if it was easy to install). I've tried googling and didn't get any useful answers... Jeremy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
