Hey, Some time ago (two weeks maybe), I put a message in the CentOS web page "Contact Us" form, in part to see what would happen. Today I got an answer from Donavan. It is good that I finally got an answer. (I am not blaming Donavan; answering off the wall posts to a "Contact Us" form is not my idea of a good time, either.) Would it be better for submissions on the

Thanks for the breakdown Paul - I've had to learn all my sysadmin stuff through organic interactions like this. Still though - someone manages the default repositories - so my question is, who decides when a package gets an update from whatever CentOS ships with default to a newer version? How does that process take place, and, can I affect it by adding microcode_ctl-2.1-18 ? On Wed, Jan 4,

Thanks Mark and Christian, I have two Samba servers running those two versions. That reassure me!

There is a slight performance related reason for exporting disk partitions individually, the performance boost is server-side as Paul says. The advantage is that the no_subtree_check can be used without any additional security risk. It is probably the case that the /export/base/a is a partition, is exported with no_subtree_check, and therefore there is a small performance boost. Preventing

Our new-to-us Isilon is handling NFSv4 ACLs differently than other NFS file servers we've had. In particular, something causes an 'O' to pop up in the permission field, but I cannot find any documentation of it. For example, [Linux]$ nfs4_getfacl TODO A::OWNER@:tTcCy A::GROUP@:tcy A::EVERYONE@:rwaxtTnNcy A:O:OWNER@:rwadxtTnNcCoy A:gO:admins at madboa.com:rwadxtTnNcy A:gO:readonly

I've got a CentOS 6 machine that's slated to go into production providing some web and development-repository services. Part of the environment is gitweb, which works as expected with one glitch: SELinux doesn't allow gitweb.cgi to query sssd to display who owns the repositories. The audit log entries are pretty straightforward, e.g., type=AVC msg=audit(XXXXXXXXXXXX): avc:
