We deployed our first CentOS-4 based workstation this past spring to see if we can conveniently replace all, or at least most, of our MS-Win based user systems with Linux boxes instead. Generally this trial unit has proved a success but there is one lingering problem that I cannot seem to find a straight-forward answer to: Is there an administrator override to a user's password protected

I would like to burn the cd-rom iso's of CentOS-5.0 on my desktop machine, which is running CentOS-4.5. Is there a site or other reference that can provide me with a detailed, hand held, step-by-step, blow-by-blow description on how to do this for my installation?

In case anyone besides me is interested, installing these packages on CentOS4.2 seems to work. You can determine the correct mirror to use from: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel- es-4/ The rpm command that I used was: rpm --upgrade --nodeps --hash -v <package url> Packages in order of installation:

I have set up a VPN over PPTP on a CentOS server using the DKMS module rpm dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4 from http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/repovie w/dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4.kb.html and kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora- core-3.phtml. I have configured the pptpd server on Centos4 to use MS_CHAPv2, 128bit encryption and

I am trying to create a one line command that will: 1. Find all files ending in .conf 2. tar these over ssh to a remote server. I have reached this point in my trials. a. I can find the files. b. I can tar them locally. c. I can get a simple fileset tar'ed to a remote server over ssh using tar -zvcf - /some/fileset | ssh host.domain.tld "cat > /backup/tarfile.tar.gz d. I cannot

I am trying to install git-1.7.1 from the rpmforge repository on my CentOS-5.5 CI box.

I acknowledge beforehand that this list is not the primary place to discuss these specific applications, but I am pressed for time and many of you have a great deal of experience with these two products. We have MailScanner configured to use SpamAssassin and it works exactly as we wanted. Up until now. I now need to allow messages classified as spam to be delivered to a single mailbox. I

Ok, on to new swamps. I would like to enable PPTP on CentOS4 to accept connections from clients running MicroSoft Win2K and XP pro from outside our firewall. I am testing pptpd-1.2.3-0 and tells me that I need kernel support for MPPE, which I suppose is MicroSoft's own form of PtoP encryption. Is there a way of doing this without rebuilding the kernel? If so, how? Regards, Jim --

I have two supplementary questions. First, what is the significance of the $() construct in bash and how does it interact with tar? Does it take the place of

I thought I've installed the clustering tools, but when I attempt to run clustat, it says it doesn't exist. When I installed the suite, I ran: yum install -y GFS GFS-kernel-smp magma-plugins fence dlm dlm-kernel-smp gulm cman cman-kernel-smp CCSD is running and when I "cat /proc/cluster/nodes", I see my three nodes. Does anyone see the package that I missed for

I need to enable pg support on one of my CentOS servers. I know nothing about PHP but DRUPAL requires a DB backend and we have standardized on pg rather than mysql. The PHP.net page devoted to the subject of pg says that to enable pg support PHP must be built with the flag "--with-pgsql[=DIR]" and that the required support extension must be loaded via the /etc/php.ini file with the
