similar to: RHEL3 ES to CentOS-3.1 - Possible??

Hi, I'm a Centos user in Brussels, BE. I'll be going to the FOSDEM conference next weekend and I was thinking about printing up and giving out centos CDs while there. 1) any other centos folks going to be at FOSDEM? 2) any guidelines for printing CD's - I can only run 50 or 100... regards, -Ryan -- Ryan Sweet <ryan.sweet at aoes.com> Advanced Operations and

Hi, Just getting into Centos and so far so good.. Since its the same as RHEL and uses YUM I wanted to know if there are any issues using Dag's EL3 packages with Centos 3.3?? This will be for a production server (my web server) so if there are any issues with these packaged I would rather not find out the hard way.. :) Thanks..

While we're waiting on the keebler elves to make the new CentOS 4, what feature(s) are you most lusting after in RHEL/CentOS 4? For me: - official Mysql 4!!! (man does this make me happy) - official Subversion ..are my top two, they will make me a happy camper for so many projects. :) Sure sure the 2.6 kernel is nice, but that super-patched 2.4 kernel on v3 seems to work quite well

Hi, I was wondering if RHEL 4 already available is...and the CentOS version. I am running Centos 4 beta but I did not receive any updates from January - now..and I saw a bunch of RHEL 4 errata updates today. Thanks for your answer. -- Michiel

Hi All, I wonder if someone can help. My rpm db was corrupted. So I ran rm -f __db* followed rpm rebuild db which ran OK. But I keep getting the following error. error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm warning: kernel-source-2.4.21-20.0.1.EL.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm -- Regards JC

All, I'm putting up a new email server, but I can't afford downtime when I switch servers. So, I've been writing a script that will take a CentOS install and turn it into a secure email server with Spam Assassin, Amavis-new, ClamAV and external relay using SASL authentication. The script is still *very* raw, and I'm relatively new to bash script writing. I still have some

Hi all, I've been approached by someone who has an installation of rhel ES 3 (taroon update 2) to see whether I can take over doing security and other updates for them (no current rhn subscription). What I want to know is, with a suitable yum setup can I use a centos3 repository to apply updates to this box? If so, should I source updates from centos 3.5? Does the whole box need to become a

Hi all, I just ran into a problem. I was following the nifty procedure to upgrade a WhiteHat/RHEL3.x box to CentOS 3.6 and the update hung. It was in the process of updating MySQL server, and a post install scriptlet apparently failed. So I killed the process with a CTRL-C. However, upon trying to restart YUM, it says there is nothing left to, saying: Gathering header information file(s)

Hi, I've got a HP 380 G2 which is running RHEL AS 3 Taroon update 1. The current smp kernel 2.4.21-9smp is booting with a HPinitrd image. Mostlikely generated with the HP proliant Service Pack for RHEL 3. Now if I migrate this system to CentOS 3 and a new kernel will be installed ,will that work ? Does the new centOS kernel use the same config as the current RHEL kernel ? Anyone done this

I have several RHEL3 WS machines that were installed here running as servers and their RHN subscriptions were never kept up. Now that I have become responsible for them I would like to move them to CentOS as I can keep them updated as needed. Some of them I can simply migrate to new machines, but a few I can not. Is it possible to simply upgrade a RHEL3 to the latest CentOS 3? If

Out of curiosity, is anybody using puppet on RHEL3 (or Centos 3) ? If so, how did you get it to work ? Did you build a ruby-1.8.x or does puppet work on the 1.6.x ruby that ships with RHEL3 ? thanks for any pointers, David

Hey folks, I know there''s an old thread about this, and the provided solution to make puppet work on RHEL3 was to recompile a more recent version of ruby. However, I think it would be nice to upgrade ruby from 1.6.8 to 1.8.6 with RPM, so here''s a quick tip for those who have to manage RHEL3 servers and would like to do it with puppet:

There have been several issues fixes since the 3.0.2 release of Samba. One of the most important issues is a problem with password changing after applying the patch described in the Microsoft KB828741 article to Windows clients. I want to run Samba 3.0.4 on RHEL3. The version provided by RedHat is samba-3.0.2-6.3E. I can't find any other RPMs or SRPMs for RHEL3. Any help you can provide

Hello all, Has anyone experienced upgrading from RHEL3 to Centos 4.2? Is it advisable? I'm running mostly native RH stuff, Apache Web server, Sendmail, Squid and IPTables gateway. Will an upgrade work or should I start from scratch? -- Scott

Does anybody have any good RHEL3 wireless (802.11) resources? I'm googling and haven't yet found anything good and am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Trying to install a digi dgrp driver on RHEL3 runing the XenU kernel. I am looking for a DDK that has the RHEL3 kernel (version 2.4) in it. All the DDK''s available for download use a kernel version 2.6.

Hi, I've attempted to build 3.31 on RHEL3 but it fails since __DBL_MIN_EXP__ and __DBL_MAX_EXP__ used in com32/lib/math/strtod.c is undefined. I added defines with the values used on RHEL4 (derived from cpp -E -dM < /dev/null) and the build then completes. A quick test did not reveal any ill effects. Is there perhaps a better workaround for this? Another little nit I saw was that

List, both on RHAS3 update3, update 4, Samba source code 3.0.9 thru 11 gives SIGSEGVs on make check. Installing the buggers and trying to run them gives the same. *THOUGH*. The Red Hat beta 3.0.9 srpm at fr2.rpmfind.net comples and runs "like a little sun" ("net als een zonnetje", in Dutch). Anyone compiled Samba 3.0.11 on Red Hat RHAS3/RHEL3? Not "how", just

Hello, I've been attempting to get this working all day. :) I have an RHEL3 machine connected to a Windows 2000 PDC as a domain member. I'm running samba 3.0.21c, compiled from an SRPM: # rpm -q samba samba-3.0.21c-1 When I try to list my users, I get this: # wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users Exit 1 Similarly, `getent passwd` fails to show any SMB users. But `getent passwd
