Any chance we can set up a low-volume "centos-announce" list so that we all don't have to read all of these non-Centos-specific E-mail threads about people figuring out how to admin a Linux box when all we need to know is when major releases/milestones/news items are available? Regards, -Tom

Hello, CentOS 5.0 on x86_64 I'm trying to set up Xen paravirt guests with access to 2 block devices: One for / and one for swap. The block devices are LVM LVs, but that shouldn't matter. When I create the guest using either virt-manager or virt-install, I get asked which device to use for xvda. But I want more block devices: xvdb for swap. I know how to add this as an option to the

Hello all, Do you guys use NFS v4 in production? Is the Linux implementation ready enough? The feeling I'm getting by looking at RH doc and other web sites is that v4 was added in a hurry and is not mainstream yet. I don't want to use something too cutting edge that will break down the road. Is that the case? In my case, it would be a CentOS5 server with CentOS4 client. Thanks, --

Hello, I encountered a problem when upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4 on i386. The machine is a production name server running bind. Looks like the new rpm moved my named.conf to .rpmsave and chkconfig'ed bind to off. That's really bad. A more gentle behavior would have been to save the new named.conf to .rpmnew and not mess with initscripts. Anyone else notice that? Francois Caen

Hello, Anyone running cpanel on CentOS3.4, could you please tell me what you see at the top right corner of your WHM, where the version numbers are listed? Do you have "RedHat Enterprise 3 i686" like on RHEL or is cpanel aware that it''s CentOS? Thanks, Francois

Anyone here running mailscanner on CentOS4? I'm using the latest MS with sendmail on x86_64 dual-Xeon. Messages seem to vanish after arriving, not even showing in mqueue.in . Anyone else with a similar setup, working or not? Thanks, Francois Caen

Hello, I'm looking for a simple web-based forum for Centos 3.x or 4.x. I've used phpBB before, it was a sysadmin's nightmare :-( This time I want something - that doesn't need a security patch every other week - that ships in a nice RPM so I can patch/upgrade easily Any suggestions, free or commercial? Thanks, -- Francois Caen, RHCE, CCNA SpiderMaker, LLC

Well, the first day was interesting. We a variety of questions from why do we do this, what's going on with RH, how come this is the first I've heard of you. And hundreds more. The good thing is that we've recieve a very positive response from everyone that visited our booth. Such a positive response that all our CentOS CD's are gone, and most of the cAos CD's are gone, and

Hello, I want to redirect one local port to another. I am using the following: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 7003 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 80 and testing it by telneting to localhost on port 7003. It works on Centos3, not on Centos4. No luck with this either: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 7002 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:80 Am I doing something wrong? Or did something

Hello, Has anyone here installed CentOS on a Dell Poweredge with a SAS 5IR controller? Does it work? With what driver? Is this real hardware RAID? Thanks, -- Francois Caen, RHCE, CCNA SpiderMaker, LLC

Hello folks, Since I started using CentOS4, one thing has been bugging me: sshd's ipv6 logging as seen here: Failed password for root from ::ffff:83.220.130.10 port 43511 ssh2 Not a big deal, but I'd be really happy if I could get it to log in ipv4 format like on CentOS3. Any suggestion? Thanks, Francois

Hello, There's been a lot of talk lately about raid controllers :-) I'm thinking about buying a Dell Poweredge with the Dell CERC SATA RAID Controller, 64MB Cache. It'll be either a P4 or a 64bit Xeon. Does CentOS4 recognize these controllers fine? Any extra driver needs to be installed? Thanks, Francois

Hello, I have: CentOS4.1 x86_64 directly-attached Infortrend 9TB array QLogic HBA seen as sdb GPT label created in parted I want one single 9TB ext3 partition. I am experiencing crazy behavior from mke2fs / mkfs.ext3 (tried both). If I create partitions in parted up to approx 4,100,000 MB in parted, mkfs.ext3 works great.

As you will know from recent posts, CentOS is separating from cAos to become an independent project. As part of that change we are implementing new mailing lists. The new Announce List is now active. All Errata, release announcements and the like will only be posted to the announce list. Once a day, a digest of the Announce List will be posted to the main CentOS list. That should be a
