Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors. Works great until it freezes. No evidence of kernel oops anywhere. If others report the same issues we

Content-type: Multipart/Alternative; boundary="Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888" --Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888 I noticed that there are no openoffice.org-xxx-2.0.4-5.4.17.2 rpms in Centos 5 update. So I tried to build openoffice 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 (sans language packs) on a x86_64 from RH 5 source rpm. The build bombed after an hour elapsed and it used up about 10 GB of space with an error

After today's samba update, Centos 3 boxes can not use samba to communicate with each other, although Windows and the Centos 3 boxes see each other correctly as do RHEL5 and the Centos3 boxes. The du command works well, but ls, cp, cat ,etc produces the error: PANIC: push_ascii - dest_len == -1 in the server log and smb_trans2_request: result=-5, setting invalid in the client. A similar

WPA-2 (WPA Enterprise) fails with the new kernel(s) using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. I haven't tried other authentication modes because that entails changes in the wireless setup which I am loathe to make right now. (It's a Broadcom mini pci card, so I have to use ndiswrapper with this Dell laptop. Bummer!). Rebuilding the newest wpa_supplicant rpm from the FC5 source rpm's

Upgrade to RHEL 5.4's glibc has rendered vmware-hostd inoperable in some systems. I don't know if Centos 5.4 has the same conflict between glibc and VMware Server as RHEL (no reason it shouldn't). If you run VMware Server 2.0.1 make a copy of /lib64/libc-2.5.so (or /lib/libc- 2.5.so) before upgrading to 5.4. If you encounter this problem follow dirkgf 's instructions in

The 8168B (02) NIC works well except that it does not go into promiscuous mode despite advertising itself in that mode after being so directed with ifconfig. Unfortunately, the little box is destined to be an IDS monitor, so that function is essential. The board is an Intel Atom 330 run as x86_64, the nic is internal. We tried three drivers: the one in the 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel yields

In doing an update of centos 5.2 this morning, I observed that the old gecko-libs dependency issue caused yum update to fail because it was required by nspluginwrapper (x64_86), devhelp, yelm and firefox. Also, a firefox (x64_86) showed the red hat splash screen rather than centos. Manual installation of affected rpms using --nodeps (I don't advise this) did not apear to impair the

In 5100 and 1100 series Inspirons Intel 2915abg cards work MUCH cooler than the original Broadcoms, don't choke up in hot weather like the original Dell cards and don't require ndiswrapper. (All of 2 Notebooks were tested outdoors at 98 deg F ambient. Dropouts occured in both Centos 4.4 & XP on these dual boot notebooks with the Dell Mini-PCI's, none with 2915's). The only

The current build of iptables does not appear to include some modules. Among these are ipt_recent.so, a very handy module in deflecting the current flurry of sshd dictionary attacks. Lineox appears to have the same problem. This is because the RedHat source rpm spec file is not explicit in the kernel directory location and that omission affects these few modules. Required changes in the

FYI: Upon installing 64 bit firefox on RHEL 5/Centos5/SAL5 , the first problem everyone seems to complain about is no working java plugin. A patched plugin from the <discontinued> Blackdown Project was available, but it was written against the vulnerable JRE 1.4.2. I too gave up on this until I discovered Red Hat's "iced tea" project. The latest incantation for Fedora
