similar to: OT - yum missing from a RHEL4 server???

Hi this is technically a RHEL4 question but i hope it can be answered here... Does RHEL4 do yum OK ? I kix a lot of boxes and it would be great to run the update after the build automajically rather than running through the up2date registration and using that method. I would also rather not pay lots for satellite server. If i setup my own RHEL repo can i use yum against this? Or any other

Hello guys, I would like to configure my puppet to use "yum" instead "up2date" (default RHEL4). How can I do this? :) Thanks! -- Tiago Cruz Linux User #282636 Mandriva Conectiva PRO Certified Linux Instructor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Well, it looks like we are stuck... I can't figure out what to do next. ads_connect: Program lacks support for encryption type here's the whole story: We've been using winbind successfully for over a year now, rhel3 variants(scientific linux 3), some run rhel3's default samba, others use the packages from http://enterprisesamba.com/ we started out using the NT4 compatability

Hi, - the download page links to /RPM/rhel/ instead of /RPM/rhel4/ - the location of repos.d in DAG's yum (I guess where most people would get yum for RHEL) is /etc/yum.repos.d/ rhel4 works with yum but ... could you sign the packages - it's risky to use an unsigned repository (only have to compromise the web server to own any system updating from it)? up2date requires a

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the

I'm looking at this document to convert RHEL4 systems to Yum and setup an updates repository. http://sial.org/howto/yum/ Which version of yum would you recommend for that? What would be the dependencies that need to be installed? Any guidelines for installing Yum on RHEL4 without breaking the RPM dependencies and stuff (and with minimal changes to the system)? The document recommends

Hi, I have this small problem with my servers managed by Puppet (i have a workaround so the problem is not so important): 1) These servers are installed with Red Hat Linux Enterprise and i use Puppet in client-server mode. 2) I''ve made a Puppet class called "yum" to install (by the RPM package provider) and configure YUM on my servers. I don''t use the YUM package

Hi Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd

I am working on some initial testing of puppet and noticed that when using the package type, I see this in my client logs (from different runs): warning: Found multiple default providers for package: up2date, yum; using up2date warning: Found multiple default providers for package: yum, up2date; using yum This is on a CentOS 4.4 client with puppet-0.22.0-1.el4 (from dlutter repo).

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what

Hello, I use puppet with RHEL and there are some packages that aren''t in up2date/yum repositories. I need a way to get these specific RPMs installed. There''s a blog posting that describes an almost-perfect way to do it: http://www.raskas.be/blog/2007/09/10/managing-user-passwords-with-puppet-on-centos/ The only problem with his example is that the RPM will always in the /tmp

While update 3 was released last week, it looks like there are 40 or so packages updated. I dunno about squid, it is listed on http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html but the changelog is from October 2005 (unless it is an rhel only bug). audit-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm audit-libs-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm audit-libs-devel-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm bootparamd-0.17-21.RHEL4.i386.rpm

Hi. I'm fairly new with CentOS but have been using version 4.2 with great satisfaction (Thank you!). I've been using repos such as Dag and Dries successfully to keep my packages up to date. (I've seen many posts which allow me to believe that these repos won't change CentOS compatibility to RHEL4 or to migrate it another distro for that matter!) My question applies to the

Is there instructions on how to use the patchless client on RHEL4 ? For version 1.6.2 We would prefer a rpm, but we are not scared of doing a build if needed. Brock Palen Center for Advanced Computing brockp at umich.edu (734)936-1985

I have a strange situation. I am using centos 4.6 i586 with alsa 1.0.17 and asterisk 1.4.21.1 (only the console/dsp or soudn port). running centos 4.6 asterisk will seg fault after awhile. running debian edge with the same installed packages it does not seg fault. running x86_64 centos 4.6 and 5.2 asterisk does not seg fault. What might be going on with centos i586 that it is causing asterisk to

Hi, We are trying to compile Libvirt 1.02 from source for an RHEL4 target. Our virtualization hosts are running the fedora 17/ RHEL6 with the latest standard libvirt binaries. This is where VMs will be created. But our user/development machines are RHEL4 and we would like users to be able to use virsh/libvirt/python to control the Vms running on RHEL6/fedora17 remotely from the their RHEL4
