List, It's amazing the soon the messages on this list are answered, I am glad and I want to thank you all for that... Here is my question, I have a DataBase CentOS server working with about 150 users connected via ssh, so I want to set up for all users strongs passwords, I mean, 8 or more caracters, with ,.;* , ect....... Is there some option, bash command which do that? Is there some HOWto,

From: Paul Heinlein <heinlein at madboa.com> > Can you comment on any of the smart-card hardware that you've used? Actually, given the occupation I just switched back to last month, I'd better not right now (I'm still "testing the waters" on what disclosure is allowable). I've used them in 2 industries -- defense and financial -- but there's no reason why

Howdy, Do we need to restart any service after making changed to pam modules? I have changed system-auth config, but not sure if I need to restart any service after making changes, e.g. ssh which uses pam. Any help? -- Thanks, CS.

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:

I am trying to install CentOS to a server that has a Tyan S2891 motherboard, 2 Opteron 875 Dual Cores and 2GB of RAM. I have been able trying to install over a network but the tg3 driver will not load. I then installed from a DVD and on rebooting after the installation I cannot get the network drivers to load and the RAID controller in the PCI slot is not available. It seems that when I do an

Hi community, In CentOS 7 there is such rpm (libcxx-devel - it seems from EPEL repository), but in CentOS 8 it isn't. How is it possible to have it there as RPM? because alternative to build it (libc++) from sources is a big headache (I need it in order to build v9 and plv8 projects) Thanks

Hello all! I'm brand new to the mailing list, and I've encountered an issue with the microcode_ctl package version 2.1-16 being installed during the CentOS 7.3 upgrade. It causes my servers to hard stop and they need to be forcibly powered off and back on again with the power button to continue. This RedHat thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398698 details the issue,

Hello all, I've been googling my brains out since yesterday looking for up-to-date information on this matter, and have found information that is anywhere from 15 to 5 years old. I'd really like some information that much more up to date on the subject. Specifically configuring Sendmail SMTP authentication (_no smart host stuff_). I've got Sendmail 8.14 installed on a CentOS 7.3

We use puppet, and Im trying to come up with "code" that will create two user accounts with a shared groiup ID eg? user1 with UID 1000user 2 with UID 1001 but I would like them BOTH to share the GID of 2000 I've tried the following accounts::groups:? ? jointgroup:? ? ? ? gid: '2000' accounts::users: ? ? user1:? ? ? ?

For those of you who are either part of the secret cabal, or are otherwise keeping track of it, there is a new version available. The current version of the cryptex is version 3.1. It's changed rather significantly in some areas.

Hello, does it in any respect (throughput/performance, cpu load, I/O load, resilience, ...) matter, if one mounts subdirectories of an NFS (v3) export into separate directories or if one just mounts the parent directory? I.e. like this: server:/export/base/a -> /mnt/a server:/export/base/b -> /mnt/b server:/export/base/c -> /mnt/c server:/export/base/d -> /mnt/d

Hi, I am user of CentOS 8. When can we expect an image on AWS? I am just learning AWS and would like to use CentOS 8 for that. thanks --- Lee

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

I'm a little new to CentOS and very rusty on Linux in general (it's been 7 years since I worked on a Linux kernel), so this may seem like a dumb question. I have two issues with my machine - sound and video. My sound card is not recognized at all (I think it's on the mobo, but I'm not sure how to identify it), and I have an ATI dual video card with two screens, but both show

I'm spec-ing a development server for some Haskell hackers. In particular, they need to be able to build and run the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (ghc), the x86_64 port of which isn't quite there yet. My current thought is to get an Opteron-based system, but load it (initially, at least) with the 32-bit i386 version of CentOS. That buys me near-term ghc compatibility. In the future,
