Hi, I'd like to put my servers' config files in cvs to make it easier to manage (yes, I know about Cfengine). I've been looking for a tutorial and I could find any, and since I'm not a CVS guru, I tried a few things, without even knowing if I'm doing it right. Any hints?

Hi, I need to test one specific port on a serie of Ip addresses that I own, I thought about using nmap or telnet, but both return the same value, no matter if the port is open or filtered. Anyone has an idea, before I start scripting to analyse the output of the command? Regards, Ugo

Hi, I'm running CentOS 3 on a Dell celeron 500/256 MB. It won't boot without a keyboard and that is a problem for me. I know it is not a perfect setup, but I'd like to have it boot w/o a keyboard. The Bios doesn't seem to care too much about the fact that no keyboard is plugged in, as it loads Grub and starts booting the kernel. It hangs, usually around Total HugeTLB memory

Hi, How about creating another mailing list to let people vent themselves? It would make it easier for everyone, since technical/troubleshooting issues and opinions target different people. This messages is a test as well. I couldn't write to the list through gmane so I corrected the address with gmane admin. Hope this works. Regards,

Hi, I have 4 disks and I want to have my swap, / (root), /boot on the 4 disks, RAID1. I successfully managed to get /boot and swap on the 4 disks, but I can't get / on the 4 disks. It is only on 2 right now. I cannot umount /, so how do I do that? Boot in rescue mode? RAID 5 is not an option for now. -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail. I read the list.

Hi, I need to set up a small server for a group of ~10 employees (all using Windows 2000/XP, used to use a windows 2000/exchange setup). I have a linux server already running CentOS 4, so I'd like to do all I can with this. I thought about using Samba for file/print sharing and OpenXchange (commercial version) to have a nice collaborative/mail/calendar/etc server. Of course, it would

Hi, Just updated a few servers to U7, and rebooted them. I found out that crond would not start at boot even if it is configured to: crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I have tested another reboot, same thing: I had to start crond manually. I don't see anything in the logs, and I don't have direct access to the console right now. Anyone seen the

Hi, I''m not a total newbie with puppet, but I only use it for a few things and I''m not even using modules yet, mostly because I only deploy configuration files for now.

Hi, Anyone tried netcell products on Centos 3 or 4? They claim driverless operation under WinXP, but in linux the only doc that is related with CentOS would be the Fedora core 2 (http://www.netcell.com/support/Fedora_Core2_readme.txt) and requires a kernel rebuild. I'd like to know if it would be possible to install CentOS directly on drives on such a card, without needing a build

Hi, I have a dual core athlon server and it is gaining 1 day every 2 days w/o time sync. Even with ntpd running, the time is not under control. I must put a very frequent cronjob of 'ntpdate' to keep the time under control. This creates big problems since winbind eventually stops working so my users can't access their data. Any ideas? -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of
