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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Hello, does anybody know how to achieve the following with SSH... a) accept RSA authentication for all but root from any IP b) accept RSA authentication for root from a couple IPs/Netmasks c) accept password authentication for all but root from a dozen Netmasks d) accept password authentication for root from 3 local netmasks only ie. make authentication depend on the

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,

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.

I have the following packages installed: freenx-0.4.4-1.centos4.noarch from extras bash-completion-20050721-1.2.el4.rf.noarch from dries/dag bash-3.0-19.2.i386 from base seems to result in a non-working nxserver (the window manager doesn't start up, although X applications can be launched via logging in through a seperate ssh and setting the DISPLAY variable accordingly)...

Hi! Assuming I have all the files (basically I've downloaded the ISOs) of CentOS 4 (RC1 for now, but 4.0 in the future) how do I recreate the ISO images - both to regain the original 4 CDs (less important) - and to achieve a DVD image (more important but can probably be guessed from the answer to how to make the CDs). Any takers? [note I've burned many CDs - I'm basically

Hi! Question from the novice. I have to permanently increase number of opened files ( ulimit -n 16384 and ulimit -Hn 16384) for some application. I did custom kernel based on https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-custom-kernel-modularized.html and application documentation ( written for RH 9), no error during all makes but I have panic during the

Hi, Has anyone got samba/cups handing out print drivers for windows clients working with the cups/samba from CentOS 4.3? If so, maybe a few pointers? What should I download and from where... etc. Cheers, MaZe.

Hi folks, I have two CentOS 4 server I administrate doing routing and firewalling of two networks (one NATed and firewalled and the other one merely firewalled) and I'd like to build a tunnel to allow computers on the normal private network (and the firewall) to access the private IPs of computers behind the NAT/firewall. ie.

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
