[CentOS] Yumex-Error in loading repository data
On a CentOS 4 desktop Yumex gives the error message "Error in loading repository data" but yum works fine from the cli. Could something have been broken in yumex?

You may need to cut your teeth upstream on Fedora (a cutting edge product) as it changes frequently and has tons of updates.

Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts * Mailing List Etiquette * How To Ask Questions The Smart Way * Quoting Style * Why is Bottom-posting better than Top-posting 1. Please turn off HTML in your e-mail client for these mailing lists. We have several subscribers who read the list with text only readers and they can't easily read html formatted e-mails. There is a place (somewhere) for the flowery stationary and themes that some mail clients offer ... but this is not it. Again, please only post text e-mails to these mailing lists. 2. Please do not top post to the mailing list when replying to a post. (See the Quoting Style link above, and use the Interleaved text method , deleting non-applicable text as required. If you need to reply to a message, and you do not need to post in interleaved mode, please bottom post instead of top posting. 3. Please trim the extra stuff in the email and leave enough to make sense of the thread. Note: There are places to debate the merits of top posting and how it might have some advantages in relation to Interleaved text or bottom posting ... but this is not one of those places. Extracted from http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 I added no 3 above. I had not been on this mailing list or others for a while but I thought other newbies would benefit.

Subscribing to the relevant mailing list should help shouldn't it? Not even considering the potential load on the CentOS servers, shouldn't an admin test updates without letting yum auto-update?

Every release of Fedora comes out and people ask how to configure bind to work in a chroot with selinux enabled. As Fedora is a testbed for upstream, we should have these things ironed out. Possibly having a separate SELinux/Docs mailing list means they may not be aware of what is going on in the mainstream. Some of the old Fedora Docs are informative.

[CentOS] DNS Logging with Selinux enabled
I rebuilt my server and setup bind to log queries in a chroot.
# Logging Configuration
#
logging {
#
# Define channels for the two log files
#
channel query_log {
severity info;
print-time yes;
file "/var/log/query.log" versions 3 size 100M;
};
channel activity_log {
severity info;
print-time yes;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
file "/var/log/activity.log" versions 3 size 100M;
Below is the security context of the files in the chroot.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# ls -alZ /var/named/chroot/var/log/activity.log
-rw-r--r-- namednamedroot:object_r:named_conf_t
/var/named/chroot/var/log/activity.log
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# ls -alZ /var/named/chroot/var/log/query.log
-rw-r--r-- namednamedroot:object_r:named_conf_t
/var/named/chroot/var/log/query.log
I temporarily disabled selinux but there was one simple step I missed (forgot
since i did this years ago). I briefly recall creating a
symlink and/or using chcon or one of the selinux commands.
