Hi I am installing CentOS4 over ether network using http and kickstart. I boot from the first CentOS CD and at "boot:" prompt I input "ks=http://localserver/install/custom.cfg". Except for minor glitches like "Kernel-Development group not found" warning, the process is smooth and is almost completely automated. Now, I want to add additional RPMS to the CentOS/RPMS

Hello CentOS, I'm having a strange situation on one of my servers. I'm running CentOS with all the latest yum updates. It runs fine, but iptables does not seem to be 'consistently' dropping the packets from the IP's I've put a drop rule in for. When I do iptables -L I still see the rule in place: iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source

Hi all, I've been trying to add a second ip address to one of my network cards in my CentOS box. I've defined the alias on top of eth1 which has become eth1:1 with a different ip address. I can ping the new ip address both from my linux box as well as from my Windoze desktop, however I can only access my Apache web server setup as a virtual host from within the Linux box. If I try to

This is what I am trying to use but it says "nothing to do". updates = rsync://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/centos/$release/$repo/$arch/RPMS/ This with gatech on the other hand works but they have a 20 connection limit so I would like to get ncsu.esu working again.

Hi, I have this (Linux) Samba file server, that indeed is a client of a Windows 2000 Server PDC, using Active Directory. I am the Samba machine admin, but not the Windows one. I have to join the Samba machine to the PDC on the 2000 server. I ask the Windows 2000 server admin to come to my Samba machine and insert his login and password to join my machine, but i always get the same error

Folks- I have had a machine dropped in my lap that I am trying to get CentOS 4.1 to run on as a first pass (the hope is for it to eventually run Rocks -- http://www.rocksclusters.org , which uses CentOS 4.x as its underlying OS). The machine has 2 Opteron 250DP (2.4GHz) with 4 GB of RAM. It is using a Tyan Thunder K8WE (S2895A2NRF) motherboard with an nVidia nForce chipset --

I haven't configured YUM . How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards. I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM. Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured? And yes, how do i

I am currently into Engineering, and I am working slowly on my Knowledge / Know-How of Linux. I am eager to know about the Job Opportunities for people who have considerably good knowledge in Linux. This thought has popped up in my mind, due to the reason that I was watching out my Local LUG, and somebody quoted like..."There aren't much Job Opportunities for Linux Knowledge compared to

Hi everyone, I'm looking into setting up a SATA hardware raid, probably 5 to use with CentOS 4. I chose hardware raid over software mostly because I like the fact that the raid is transparent to the OS. Does anyone know of any SATA controllers that are well tested for this sort of usage? From what I can tell from googling, this is more or less where RHEL stands: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

But still, please provide a "quickfix" acpi power off called, and then the computer simply stays on there, and doesn't shutdown. can anybody help me find a quick fix for this?

I needed wireshark on a test system; I had not installed it at setup time. So I did a yum install wireshark This seemed to have worked, but there is no executable that I can locate, and wireshark in not in the gnome panel. So I looked at a system were I had installed wireshark intitally, and I see a symlink for it in /usr/bin to consolehelper. What do I do to get wireshark working?

I agree that this sounds like, and indeed is, a recipe for disaster. I was going to explain some of the woes of our environment but I don't think it's actually relevant after looking at my problem a bit more. If I'm way off base I'm happy to be herded back, but please tolerate me as I share what I am seeing today because I really hope to solve the narrow issue of SMB file access

Hi All, I have created a CentOS 6.5 OpenStack image using kickstart. I have noticed that when connecting directly to the Virtual Machine's console (think connecting directly to the physical machine) all of the system-config, firewall configuration, application update and install GUI applications work fine and prompt for root login when executed. Hoever if I connect to the VM using xrdp with

I am running CentOS 5.3 and have just the two accounts "root" and "buz". I would like to be able to issue "shutdown" from the account "buz", and thus created /etc/shutdown.allow with the single entry "buz" (without any quotes). I still get the error message "only root can do this" (or something similar) even if I include the

We need to conference together a call center agent, a customer and a third party IVR and send DTMF tones from the agent to the IVR. MeetMe has been eating our DTMFs so we'd like to try app_conference. Has anybody setup such a configuration in app_conference and how did you configure it? -HJC
