...usual today. If I "du" a small file (couple of bytes) in CentOS 5, it tells me the file is using 8kb, while I was expecting 4kb which is the block size I'm using. I tried this on several CentOS 5 machines, both x86_64 and i386: $ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:24 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 8.0K test.txt If I do the same on a CentOS 4 machine: $ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:25 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 4.0K test.txt On all machines I tested, both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5: #...

Hello, As discussed on the centos-users list, I would like to create some pages on the CentOS Wiki with instructions on how to set up your environment to build RPMs and how to rebuild RPMs. This content today exists here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d I would suggest creating these two: 1)

I just setup CENTOS 4.7 with latest patches on DELL server. I also configured NTP point to out time server. I found /var/log/messages file every 20 to 30 minutes will generate a error message : Mar 15 14:28:15 SER1 ntpd[25037]: sendto(172.29.21.16): Invalid argument Mar 15 14:45:22 SER1 ntpd[25037]: sendto(172.29.21.16): Invalid argument Mar 15 15:02:29 SER1 ntpd[25037]: sendto(172.29.21.16):

We are tried to count how many files belong to certain group. Our system administrator told us "non-owner" can easy change file group name to another. I have been tried several combination and never successful (only ROOT can change file group to other name). Does anyone know how "no-owner" can change file group name? Thanks.

We recently upgraded (as in, backup, reinstall, selective restore) a couple of servers from CentOS-3.9 to CentOS-5.1. This generally went smoothly but we've encountered one confusing problem with syslog. Under CentOS-3, syslog entries were always dated in the host local timezone. With CentOS-5.1, they're dated in UTC *most* of the time, but occasionally in the local timezone. This has

Hi! I was looking at the pictures and devroom of FOSDEM 2008 in www.centos.org. I was really interested in the presentations related to CentOS. Would you mind making them available somewhere on the site? I think that would be great documentation for some of the topics. In particular, I wonder what are Karanbir's opinions on "Hosting custom applications on CentOS 5", I guess I

Hi, We are porting some applications from CentOS 4 to CentOS 5, the applications use mmap, and we found out that they sometimes crash in CentOS 5. We found out that this is due to the fact that CentOS 5 does randomization of the address space when loading binaries, libraries, and when using mmap, so that is what's causing our problem. The thing is, I'm trying to google for it, but I did

Hello, Today I built a custom kernel in CentOS 5 following the instructions on this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel It's excellent, but I have some remarks I would add: 1. %define buildid .your_identifier In the commented line, there is a space after the % sign. You have to manually remove this space. I think someone was bit by this a short while ago. I think making this

The simple ordinary yum update of CentOS 5.3 spits a bunch of transaction check errors regarding packages perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.015-1.el5.rf.noarch and perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch which is supposed to replace perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.015-1.el5.rf.noarch: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Compress/Adapter/Deflate.pm from install of

Hi, My boss asked me to harden a CentOS box by removing "hacker" tools, such as nmap, tcpdump, nc (netcat), telnet, etc. I would like to know which list of packages would you remove from a base install. I would appreciate if someone could point me to a "standard" way of doing this. I know there are procedures for hardening a machine (I remember reading about Bastille Linux)

I recently bought a new UPS, and I''m attempting to use nut to monitor it. Following setup instructions everything seemed to go well until it came to testing the connection, which failed. There is just one serial connector on the computer, so I set it to monitor /dev/ttyS0. Either that is wrong, or communication is failing. I''ve been told to try minicom to monitor it,
