[CentOS] ifenslave vs. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

2016-01-21 Thread Nicholas Geovanis
How does the ifenslave command relate to "normal" network slave configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts? Does config-file-based setup use ifenslave or is it more complicated than that? ThanksNick ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org

[CentOS] nsswitch.conf question

2016-01-11 Thread Nicholas Geovanis
I find the passwd, shadow and group lines in my CentOS 7 /etc/nsswitch.conf file specify "files sss". I'm not familiar with the "sss" source, would someone please give me an idea what that is? Many thanksNick ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org

[CentOS] packagekit yumBackend question, perhaps

2016-01-05 Thread Nicholas Geovanis
Periodically I find the yumBackend python script of packagekit really slows down my CentOS 7 system. I don't invoke anything myself which starts it and I find nothing in crontab which does either, except perhaps /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron. But I can't be sure that is the culprit. I don't

[CentOS] hostname service?

2015-12-27 Thread Nicholas Geovanis
On CentOS 7, I find in /var/log/messages several times daily messages "localhost systemd: Started Hostname Service.". However I can't seem to find such a service using the systemctl command. What is the "Hostname Service", what does it do and why is it being restarted frequently? Many

[CentOS] Need firewalld clue

2015-12-12 Thread Nicholas Geovanis
I don't really understand the intent behind firewalld. The RHEL7 Security Guide states "A graphical configuration tool, *firewall-config*, is used to configure firewalld, which in turn uses *iptables tool* to communicate with *Netfilter* in the kernel which implements packet filtering". So is the

[CentOS] Centos 6.6, apparent xfs corruption

2015-09-21 Thread Nicholas Geovanis
Hi all - After several months of worry-free operation, we received the following kernel messages about an xfs filesystem running under CentOS 6.6. The proximate causes appear to be "Internal error xfs_trans_cancel" and "Corruption of in-memory data detected. Shutting down filesystem". The
