Hi, I've got a box with CentOS 4.2 x86_64 which had no DHCP access for a few hours, now I can't ping it (I'm pretty sure the box is still up). I expect the DHCP lease has timed out and the box has lost it's IP, I was expecting it to reacquire it once the DHCP came back up (configuration problem) - but no luck. Is this a known problem? Any solution/workaround? (for now or for

Hi, any idea if (when?) a new version of those RPMs with rollback included will become available for CentOS 4? Thanks, MaZe.

From: Maciej ?enczykowski <maze at google.com> This adds a new setting: KBUILD_REPRODUCIBLE If it is non-empty, ar and ranlib will be called in such a way that timestamps do not affect the build output. This allows one to get perfectly reproducible builds. Signed-off-by: Maciej ?enczykowski <maze at google.com> --- scripts/Kbuild.klibc | 14 +++++++++----- usr/klibc/Kbuild |

Hey folks, okay, here's the situation - I have a Centos 4.2 system with cups printing installed printing via postcript (with appropriate PPD file) to a HP LaserJet 1320N printer (via jetdirect socket 9100). Everything seems to work right - except for an unusual 'font'??? problem. Many letters seem to be just slightly garbled. At first I thought this was a mechanical problem at

Hi, Has anyone used a 2.4 series kernel on RHEL4/Centos4? There's a patch (openmosix) which I would really like to make use of [seeing as I just got 10 diskless computers...] which is not ready (yet) for the 2.6 kernel series... Can I just drop in a 2.4.26 series kernel and continue to have a working system? Or is RHEL now totally dependent on 2.6 kernel features? Cheers, MaZe.

Hello, Just a few quick, but not very simple questions...: Do any Linux filesystems (besides XFS) support freezing? (ie. in conjuction with LVM snapshots this can allow a mounted filesystem to be frozen [freezing all processes writing to this filesystem] in a valid state (with possibly dangling unlinked files), the device can be snapshotted via LVM, and the original filesystem unfrozen - the

Hey! I have two Centos4.2 servers using the same yum configuration (identical files, edited on one and copied to the other), which both report no updates [besides squid which is afaict still currently borked] via "yum check-update". At the same time package versions don't match (cups is in the base/updates pair of repositories): [1]# rpm -q cups cups-libs cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.8

Hi, Could someone tell me how I'd go about compiling php with mcrypt support from src.rpm? ie. configure -with-mcrypt[=DIR] Is it just a matter of calling rpmbuild --rebuild src.rpm --with=mcrypt ? Cheers, MaZe.

Hi!

Hi, Not meaning to rush you folks (you're doing a great job). But I'm about to install/clone 4 computers with Centos 4. When can I expect 4.2 to be out (in DVD format preferably)? As in, is it worth waiting and saving myself the later hassle extra downloads? [I don't actually have 4.1 DVD's, just 4.0, so I pretty much have to download the DVD.ISO anyway] Cheers & Thanks,

If anyone is interested go to http://mirror.tcs.ii.uj.edu.pl/jigdo/ You'll need to edit the .jigdo file by hand to change the server section [Servers] CentOS42=file:/opt/mirrors/centos/4.2/ to point to a local mirror (file, http or ftp), ie. to use kernel.org: [Servers]
