I've got several SMP machines, some running CentOS 4.3 and some running Fedora Core 4. All machine are kept fully updated. A few are Pentium3-based and a few are Pentium4-based. They are all running the irqbalance daemon. The distribution of interrupts across CPUs is indeed kept balanced, yet even after months of uptime ps shows no CPU use whatsoever by irqbalance. This from a

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba

Hello. I need to set up a mail server for a small (~5 people) organization on CentOS 5.1. While I am very familiar with CentOS and Linux in general, I have zero experience in setting up a POP3(s)/SMTP mail server. I suppose eventually I'd like to do spam/virus filtering, but initially the simple sending/receiving of mail will be adequate. Can someone point me to a tutorial on setting

CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot

Given that I hardly ever use the CD-ROM drive, it makes no sense to have hal constantly polling it for new media. How can I disable this polling in CentOS 5.1? Thanks.

When I attempted to build Samba (v2.0.7) on a LynxOS (v3.1) box I was told that configure could determine my operating system. LynxOS, for those that don't know, is a Unix-like RTOS. It comes with a binary version of Samba, but a) it's old and b) it's not built for encrypted passwords which means I can't access it from WinNT. Can anyone advise me on what it would take to build

While investigating my earlier Sendmail confusion I noticed these files: # ll /var/lib/imap/db/ total 15952 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 16384 Jan 22 04:02 __db.001 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 663552 Jan 22 04:02 __db.002 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 98304 Jan 22 04:02 __db.003 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 22568960 Jan 22 04:02 __db.004 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 32768 Jan 22 04:02 __db.005 -rw-------

It seems that the mirrors are now all sync'd with the binary RPMs, but where are the source packages? The source RPMs are available for the few packages updated since the upstream 5.3 release, but the SRPMS for the release itself are missing. Example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.3/os/ has directories containing the x86 and x86_64 binaries, but should also have a SRPMS directory.

When an OS/2 or Win9x client logs into a (Linux) Samba v2.0.6 server the running smbd spawns a copy of itself. That second instance of smbd then handles all the shares for that client machine. In contrast, a Linux client which does multiple smbmounts (also Samba v2.0.6) will cause the server to spawn a copy of smbd for *each* smbmount mountpoint. This has the potential for using up a lot more

How can I completely disable audio drivers and services in my CentOS7 system? This system is a server that will never run any audio applications. The problem is, I can't disable the audio device in my BIOS, so the system finds it in the PCI device list and configures it on each boot. Yes, I know I can blacklist specific device driver modules, but I've got a minimum of 11

I can't get IPv6 routing to configure correctly despite everything I've read saying it should This is my network config on a fully-updated CentOS 5.8 system: # cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=my.hostname.com GATEWAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a02:aaaa.bbbb::1 IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0 # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

On my CentOS v5.2 server (dual Pentium4) the OpenSSH daemon stands out as being the most CPU-intensive of the applications running, It's used 176 minutes of CPU time in the last 2 days alone. Is there any way to lower the CPU utilization without compromising security? (I.e. without using a less processor-intensive encrypt/decrypt algorithm?) I'm getting the CPU use figures from top,

In the course of upgrading from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5 I changed from using the samba (v3.0.x) packages to the samba3x (v3.3.8) packages, mostly because the newer version was said to better support Win7. The Samba server services Linux, WinXP, and Win7 clients. Now I get many, many errors logged to the Samba logs shortly after 3:00 AM, but only from the Win7 clients. I get roughly 430

[I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago and got no responses. So I'm trying again] I have a couple of applications on a WinXP/SP2 system that use data files on a Samba (v2.2.12, on Linux) shared drive. Immediately after booting the WinXP system these data files cannot be seen, yet become visible when the share is browsed with Windows Explorer. These applications are started

At 4:00 every morning the 2 WinXP machines on my network generate a slew of queries to bad printer names. These names are variations on the name of a valid printer exported by Samba. Samba v3.0.10 is running on a RHEL4 system. It exports several shared drives and a single printer. The printer is named "lj4500", is managed by CUPS v1.1.22, and works correctly via Samba from both

Hello! I need help (but who doesn's huh? :-) ) I meant to run one program - Money2000 (no, it is _not_ program from Microsoft) together with samba on linux, but i have problems with oplocks. This program is installed locally on win9x/NT and shares its databases. We tried to place databases on novell, on NT server and on win95 acting as server and everything worked fine. But when we tried
