Even a minimal install with nobase installs about 40-50 i386 packages on a 64bit-System. I know this has come up before and thought it might be an FAQ, but I can't find it on the wiki. Some questions are answered here: http://www.goitworld.com/rhelcentos-x86_64-and-i386-packages-mess/ but I have these remaining: - can I tell via kickstart to just install the 64bit packages? - is it safe to

I found that lm_sensors got installed because of a dependency on my first Xen VM that I updated to 5.3. lm_sensors doesn't make sense in a VM. I thought, ok let's check after the update who wants it. However: rpm -q --whatrequires lm_sensors no package requires lm_sensors (same for --triggeredby with lm_sensors or the packages below) Trying to remove lm_sensors reveals these packages:

I had a 5.0 kickstart server which did "core" installs of CentOS (i.e.: "%packages --nobase"). I recently setup a 5.2 kickstart server. Using the same kickstart configs, I notice a few packages are always missing, notably: yum (!!), selinux-policy-targeted (even though I have "selinux --enforcing" in the kickstart, it always ends up with that package missing and

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is

Using centos 5.2, I want to use a kickstart file to select packages in order to have an unattended install onto a bare-metal server. Is there any way of finding out which packages I need to compile, build and run asterisk ? I generally want to build all modules in asterisk and the wct4xxp zaptel module I want to be able to not select any groups in the kickstart file, but only select

Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or

Is there a way to list the packages that are in a "base" install, but that are not in a "nobase" (core) install? I did a nobase install, then ran "yum groupinstall Base", but this just lists everything in base, including the core packages. Mainly, I'm just looking to audit the packages, and add only necessary ones back to a nobase install. So far, I've

So I took the anaconda cfg, commented out the partition/disk pieces and ran it off my repo server and it almost worked. Little things like not including things I had done on network setup. No first boot.... :) So now I am reading up on building a kickstart cfg http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-howuse.html

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".

Is there a way to identify if an rpm package is unused, or how much it is used? I would like to reduce my load time by removing unused packages in my kickstart, but do not want to cause problems for users on active systems by guessing which ones are not necessary (I load everything with kickstart now). If I could find the packages are not used I could start by excluding them from a load and be

yum remove lightdm That command tells me that it's also going to remove lightdm-gobject and lightdm-gtk. rpm -q --whatrequires lightdm no package requires lightdm So obviously we can't take the word of the --whatrequires option from the rpm command since yum remove tells me that there are two. That being the case, using yum remove to determine the actual dependency chain is not all

Ok, so a bit of a long subject line there... I'm running an email server using postfix, but a critical third-party package being used requires 'sendmail' the package.? No, I can't uninstall that package, please don't suggest that, and I don't have control of its requires.? So both postfix and sendmail are installed, and that's just the way it has to be.?

Hi, I want to build a spam gateway for my mail server using postfix. I issued an rpm -e sendmail and got the following output: # rpm -e sendmail error: Failed dependencies: /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-3.1-12.2.EL.el5.centos.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mutt-1.4.2.2-3.el5.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed)

Starting up sendmail I get: Starting sm-client: can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser. I assume the user used for sm-client is smmsp. However, that user has /var/spool/mqueue as homedir and I added him to the trusted users list. FYI, that user has disabled login (which should be okay) and the group has a

Hi All, I want to set up a sendmail server on Centos 5.2 Pc. This server should be able to send and receive mails outbound. i have purchased a domain name. can you help on this. -- Regards, Gopinath M

My guys, My firewall seems to block an attack my Centos / Sendmail boxes on port 110. These servers require a reboot after each attack. My firewall says it's blocked? Do I need to patch something on sendmail? Or is my firewall not doing its job (Sonicwall)? This is not the first time this has happened. 11/20/2008 02:53:04.864 - SYN flood attack dropped - 75.2.205.141, 48102 -

I was doing an Internet facing server reload for a client today and he mentioned that there is a minimal install selection somewhere and that I should take a disk 1 of centos 4.4 and it would be under custom Is this the case? How? I couldn't find it, nor could he after the fact. If it exists, where is it, or how do I get to it for future reference please? I usually use a centos server cd
