Hi gang, Was wondering how the beta 2 was going? Last I heard was end a january? Is there a new "projected" date? I did see the RHEL5 beta 2 was actually available for download without a subscription. Thanks, looking forward to playing with CENTOS 5 beta 2. Jerry

hi friends, maybe you could help me with following problem: We have one SuperMicro dual xenon machine running Centos 4.3 ia32 version and we have problem with reboting this machine remotely (command reboot from ssh connection). After upgrade to kernel versions 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp and 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp the machine hangs right after the: md: md0 switched to read-only mode. message and does not

...of a shell script for rsync that won't start again if it is already running? I thought of using a lock file, but what if it is killed mid script or bombs? -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

Hi everyone, I am looking for a dedicated server with CentOS. Any recommendations? Ideally I would like to use one of the CentOS sponsors, but I think that there are far too many to be able to compare them all by refreshing (maybe there is a page with just a list of links to sponsors but I couldn't find it). Thanks Gabriel ___________________________________________________________

Hi friends, My company is currently using Exchange Servers for Mail Server solutions but now they want to move to Linux Servers due to heavy cost involved with the Exchange Users.We will be using the latest version of Centos. So the kind of solution we are looking is below: a) Postfix or Sendmail as MTA. b) Dovecot or Cyrus Imap with Quota as Pop & Imap server. c) Security of Maildir means

I anm trying to enable XFS with no success. I followed the instructions provided in http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus I installed the new kernel. Example: 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus I also installed these packages as described in a post I found yum install --enablerepo=centosplus xfsprogs xfsprogs-devel lsmod shows nothing about XFS I would image there are others out there

Hi All, Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not hundreds of times. If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this with CentOS? -- James A.

from my googling around, it doesn't look there is a single motherboard that supports core 2 duo and works without patches or tweaks. is that true? the main thing we want is: core 2 duo support 4g of 800mhz (or better) ram sata gig ether with pxe boot we can live without pata or usb for a while. we've tried intel 965 and asus p5b based boards with various levels of ease of install,

I performed the update yesterday that included installing kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL and replacing ethereal with wireshark. First, the trivial... Wireshark would not run from the KDE menu without editing the menu to change the command from "wireshark" to "kdesu wireshark" because dumpcap is at usr/sbin/dumpcap instead of /usr/bin/dumpcap . Making the change causes wireshark to

Any news on this? Will we see a POWER version of CentOS 5? -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten at mortent.org //IM: Cartoon at jabber.no morten.torstensen at gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil. The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.

On CentOS5 with the latest updates applied, the logwatch filter for postfix returns way too many lines from the log. I get an "unmatched entries" message and all messages that have gone through the system is listed. Here is an example: 8F930A8092: to=<morten at foo.bar>, orig_to=<morten at localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.19, delays=0.06/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0,

I am looking for yum-priorities or any info on any changes here for CentOS 5.4. There is also a forum post for this here: <https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22798&forum=37> Is this missing on purpose? Function merged with another yum package? Or is it just missing as an oversight? -- //Morten //morten at mortent.org

Hi, I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into fdisks 2TB limits... Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6. I found out that: using parted, labelling it gpt and creating the partitions would do the trick. But, what about grub? I read that it does not support

CentOS is simply great. I use it as my main desktop. I use VMWare clients for any "special needs" software. I am struggling a bit with the plethora of repos and looking for some advice.
