CentOS Plus PHP5 upgrade.
Hi Folks,
I have some users who have a 64-bit CentOS 4.x install (current),
which was installed with @Everything and then some annoying packages
strategically removed (mrtg, pegasus*, mailman...) and they have
decided they have a need for php5.
I find on the web this instruction for doing this:
http://www.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt
So I try to do this, and I get:

sshd logging with GMT times?
Hi folks,
while chasing down a logging-related situation, I happened to notice
that when I connect via ssh to my system it makes the following logs:

4.92 Beta questions.
Installing through PXE, interactively from an NFS source. The
installer is in text mode even though I have 512MB of memory.
Two questions.
1. When installing package sets, I do not see an "Everything" option
the way there was in 4.x. Should there be? I also don't recall being
asked if I wanted Server/Workstation/Custom groupings.
2. When partitioning the disk, if I

PHP5/CentosPlus big mess.
Ok, so if you tuned in last time, I couldn't make the installation/upgrade of
PHP5 from the Centos4 CentOS Plus repository work. Not one to be easilly
dissuaded, I shapened my shovel and dug myself a hole.
So using the exclude= lines in the repository config file backfired big time:
even if I excluded the exclude= lines, yum continued to exclude the files
on those lines, and only deigned to

Firefox Tab Cycle Plugin?
Hi folks,
I thought I saw a comment on this list a ways back about a firefox
plugin that would make a browser automatically cycle through the tabs
it had loaded. We'd like to use this to load some monitoring systems
in tabs, and then have the browser cycle through them so we have a
poor-man's status display station.
Does anyone know more specifics about this plugin I think I heard

Sendmail: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input
Hi folks,
I've recently replaced a RedHat EL 3.x system with a CentOS 5 system
(fully yum'd as of Tuesday). This was a full-pave install, although
we did copy the sendmail.mc from the original system.
Now I get a lot of this in my logs:

Automounter issue
Anyone seen this before?
I have a number of file systems nfs mounted onto clients running
various versions of CentOS (and Upstream), although mostly they are
v5.x flavors. =20
The server is a Network Appliance filer.
When the build process for this team runs, it sometimes dies because
it can't find files in the automounter tree; if the engineer checks,
he sometimes sees a problem, and

Archive-to-DVD
Hi folks,
Here's the situation. I have a group of engineers who love to save
things to disk. Now that the filer is getting full, they are
interested in archiving some of those things to DVD.
The tress containing the things they want to archive are specified
like so:

/path/path/path/B/04??
/path/path/path/A/05??

mdadm problem.
So I'm trying to RAID-1 this system which has two identical disks
installed in it, and it isn't working for some reason.
I started by doing a CentOS-4 install on /dev/sda1 as root, and with
/dev/sda2 as my swap.
I finish the install, yum update, and then I want to make the mirrors.
I copy the partition table from one disk to the other:
# sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb

Terminal settings question.
Hiya folks,
Maybe someone can help me with this question.
I'm a long time mutt user. However in recent years, I have been a
member of an increasing number of mail lists. And an increasing number
of mail list users are starting to use special characters in their
emails that my terminal is not understanding correctly. When it doesn't
understand the character correctly, it starts to

hdparm strangeness
I've got a brand new .5U P4 system running several (I think) Seagate
80gig SATA drives. I tried to copy data from the first drive (sda) to
the second drive (sdc) and was only getting about 1.7megs/sec. So I
figured DMA was off. And this is what happened when I typed "hdparm -d1
/dev/hdc":

screen detatch
The man page for screen says that I can create a detatched screen
running with a set command in it by doing this:
$ screen -dm $command
However, it doesn't work. Screen exits without creating the detached
screen.
If I say
$ screen $command
...I get dropped into a screen session running $command as I would
expect.
What's the magic invocation I'm missing?

HP DL585 G2 -- no nics
Hi folks,
I've just spent about six hours messing around with an HP DL585 G2
server trying to get CentOS to go.
This box is a dual-CPU with dual cores and 10GB of RAM total.
According to the datasheet, the POST screens, and the BIOS, it has
the Broadcom embedded NICs in it.
The problem boils down to the installed OS (4.4 x86_64) not seeing
the NICs. If you do an lspci on the system

Any HowTo for Getting Started With Xen?
Hi folks,
Now that CentOS 5 is out with Xen, I can theoretically take better
advantage of my nice Intel processor with the virtualization piece
than I can with VMware Server.
Ideally what I would like to do is install CentOS 5 as a dom0, then
run my existing CentOS 4.x installation as a domU while I figure out
how to do other interesting things (like install Solaris 10 and

64-bit Java?
Hi folks,
Stupid question time, possibly only tangentially related to CentOS,
and I apoligise in advance.
I have a bunch of CentOS 64-bit boxes, and I have developers who want
to run eclipse on these boxes. So I have downloaded the 64-bit
bundle of eclipse, installed the java from java.sun.com, and the
result is that Eclipse won't run. It chugges away and then reports:

what does "not found" mean in a DHCPRELEASE context?
I have a CentOS 4.6 server running dhcpd. One of my client devices (a
Panasonic KX-HCM280A camera) is trying to get a lease from that
server. I can see the device accept a lease (it is a reservation),
however it always releases the reservation after about 25 seconds:

Diskless client from system-config-netboot doesn't boot.

I've followed a set of instructions I found on

which describes using system-config-netboot to set up PXE booting.

Very slow disk performance on CentOS 4.5
I recently moved my CentOS 4.5 disk from a Lenovo ThinkCentre M52
(3.2 GHz Pentium 4) to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 (3.4 GHz Core 2
Duo). I had to install the SMP kernel, but other than that
everything just worked. I did have an issue with accidentally
initializing my /boot partition, but that was my own fault.
But the system was not feeling right. Some things just seemed to be
slower,
