I updated my x86 machine day before yesterday, and I noticed two things. The clamav user and group was deleted, and not recreated, and when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software? I encountered no errors when the transaction check and transactions were run.

Don't know if this might be hardware or software related, but it seems that every time I attempt to do a remote reboot of the machine, everything shuts down normally, and it never comes back. Just returned from the co-lo site, and when I plugged the monitor in, it had gone to the point of "rebooting" and hung. This is 4.3 on x-86. Sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net

I know this is more of a general unix question, but the thread about the last kernel update, and memory usage got me to looking and thinking. Given a system with 2 Gb of memory, and at peak usage, top reports considerably less than the 2 gig amount in use, as well as system monitoring that never shows all available memory used, what would happen if you just turned swap off, and let memory

Rats... found some hardware monitoring from the vendor and it's broken, or I'm missing some pieces. No mention of CentOS specifically, but RH is supported, so figured it *ought* to work. I'm apparently missing a library -- liblinc.so.1, and a net search reveals several sources, both for x86 and 64-bit. Tried them both, after the x86 did not work, and the 64-bit I thought was

I've apparently made a mess of clamav. Tried uninstalling it, and excluded it from dag's repo. Now, when I yum install clamav and clamav-server, I'm apparently missing all the libs, data and so forth. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this back ? I probably blew all the old stuff away during the update or later, and don't have a clue as to why it's not doing

This is really strange. Day before, I updated the machine here (x86_64) and all went normal. I rebooted, and everything came back just as I expected. Next morning, I noticed one of my jobs during the night had finished, but finished late by about 8 or 9 minutes. I really didn't think much of it, but after looking at jobs running today, I'm seeing the same thing. Processes that

After update from CentOS 3.4 to 3.5 on 3 different boxes, I got the following message from each server ============================================ Subject: Cron <root at premiere> run-parts /etc/cron.daily > /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis.cron: > > > zcat: stdout: Broken pipe > > zcat: stdout: Broken pipe > > zcat: stdout: Broken pipe > > zcat: stdout:

Something has killed any writes to /var/log/messages. Syslogd is running. Has been off for some time and I just discovered it. Any hints as to what / where to look since syslogd is running?

Another question some of you may help me make decisions on. I've been doing some reading that indicates that having HT turned on in this dual xeon machine might actually slow down the computing process rather than speeding it up. I rebooted this a.m., and turned HT off, just prior to my main application run. One thing that might be of note, this application is using OMP for utilizing

Could someone give me some assistance in getting this startup script to conform to chkconfig and such where the service will start up after networking comes up, and then shut down when networking goes away? Where all do entries need to be made, and what would they consist of? Many thanks..... Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #! /bin/sh export

I'm having a terrible time trying to get the superodoctor software from super micro running. It appears now, I do not have any i2c modules installed in the kernel, which begs the answer, ARE they included in the latest CentOS kernel? Current kernel for me is 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp. Thanks.... -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net http://wa4phy.net

I have several crontabs running at various times of the day and night. All generate copious output. All the jobs produce copious output, and some of them I need to see, while others are 's are just a pain in the butt to have t look at. is there some method I can use to selectively monitor cron's output of the one's I want to, while ignoring the others? Thanks... Sam

Over the past year or so, I've collected several errors that some I have found the solution for, others, like the one below are quite befuddling. I get this one every week when /etc/cron.weekly runs. What the heck is the "S" or what it is looking for? Also, I've checked with cpan, and according to cpan, it says it doesn't know what NET::DNS is, yet if I do an i

Is it possible to set up a single disk raid (kind of redundant to call a single disk an array) but I've got a single SATA drive in the machine not doing anything. It's a 10k maxtor 74G drive, and what I really want is just to backup two home partitions. I can always reinstall the OS, but the data can't be recovered that easily. The mobo supports raid-0,1 and jbod. Suggestions? --

Hi again, I've got a nagging irritant with either putty or the man pages, or perhaps my setup. If I use putty to log into my server and request any man page, it returns the page, but really important stuff like keywords are blank. Is this perhaps caused by the wrong terminal setting in putty or is there something with Centos man pages that cause this to happen? Thanks again, Sam

When I set up the Evolution mail agent, I could find no way to change the outbound port from 25 to 587. I have to do this due to port 25 being blocked by the cable company. Thunderbird is no problem. Altho I don't particularly use Evolution as a mail agent, there are times when I might use it, but its worthless without being able to send mail out to my server. Did I miss something in

Ran into something tonight I've not seen before. The system has been up for 20 days, and has not missed a beat of any sorts, even when getting beat on at a decent level. What my concern is, tonight I attempted to log out so X would restart, and from the looks of all the stuff on the screen (which never did reload gdm) was chock full of statements where swap had been exhausted, and processes

List, is there an equivalent on Linux as "watch" under FreeBSD, as well as the "snp" or snoop device that permits one to watch what is going on in another terminal? Yes there are privacy issues here, but in a home system with a couple of folks logged in trying to help with compiling stuff, it'd be nice to see what and how they are doing it. Thanks... -- Snowman

Does anyone have any experience with Super-Micro brand motherboards // dual Xeon cpu's? Had to swap out my Tyan piece of junk and going back with the S-M board. I believe it has similar north/southbridge chips on it -- at least they are the intel MCH ICH5R and PXH plus the 82546GB. One area that the Tyan board was seriously lacking in was in the hardware monitoring department. The S-M

List, After I think the last or next to last update to firefox, I started seeing some problems, wherein I no longer have a "back" function on any pages or tabs. Also, I get some kind of strange message.... "Assertion Failed ASSERT:***Search:_installLocation: engine has no file! Stack Trace: 0 ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!.2147500037)
