I do run a yum update and that seems to be the latest CentOS Plus version. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/i386/RPMS/ You can see that the kernels are updated but the php is not, so I don't see why you said I should consider "running a yum update once in a while".

What do you mean barriers? I have perused through a few lists and none of the the devs on other lists have an attitude like yours. This is why I think this fragmentation of the mailing lists is not to solve any "problem" other than that perceived by those 17 foot tall with egos to match.

Out of curiosity which major linux distro operates a fragmented mailing list such as the one proposed?

There are also countless examples but you have to figure out for yourself what applies to 3.0.32 and what does not. Unless you have a specific problem covered by the bug fixes in 3.0.29 to 3.0.32 in my opinion, I would say stick with the version shipped by CentOS. The smb.conf shipped by CentOS is also a good working start as compared to a blank smb.conf and a tonne of examples in 3.0.32 Spike ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is XP Home that is slow. XP Home was purposefully "crippled" by MS so it lacks networking features in XP Pro and Win2k Pro. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Someone mentioned SWAT. I don't use SWAT or system-config-samba as I admin the server from the CLI. Also its easy to get up and running but the problem is not to get up and running. The following problems remain :- 1. The CentOS server with Enterprise Samba 3.0.32 is also the DNS server but "View Workgroup Computers" is slow from windows. Even after tweaking /etc/nsswitch and specifying the CentOS server as the browser master and wins server. I've googled and looked at people from other distros with the same problem but no joy here. I've turned off the computer browser on XP but no avail. Spike. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Samba 3.0.28/3.0.32
I've looked at the CentOS docs-list as well as the Wiki as I was interested in Samba. On one CentOS box I've got 3.0.32 (the latest bug-fixed version from Samba.org) and on another I've got 3.0.28 (the latest from upstream). The docs look almost the same and the docs refer to security = share. However 3.0.32 comes with a blank smb.conf making it harder to get a secure server up and running. Is there a plan for a quick and dirty guide on the Wiki for setting up Samba with secure settings as well as TDB rather than deprecated settings? In tips and tricks there is http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares Without writing a book as someone suggested, a few one-liners could be put together in the wiki.

[CentOS] Apache Charset vs html file charset
The apache httpd.conf has AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 while the page I'm viewing on my CentOS server is charset=ISO-8859-1 The page appears funny on the browser showing �� Given that apache has the default charset shouldn't it honor it? Why the �� characters? Spike. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why not run another distro with the latest and greatest Gnome or Kde if that is what you want? Trying to upgrade a CentOS box will mean you have something else. Its doomed to failure IMO.
