What would be the effect of changing the password field in "/etc/passwd" from "x" to "*"? I noticed I have an "/etc/passwd.rpmnew" file which changes the password of many service accounts from "x" to "*". I am wondering if I should merge those changes into my "/etc/passwd" file. -- Matt Seitz Manager, File System

I'm puzzled by such statements as diff /var/clamav/daily.cvd /var/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmnew Binary files /var/clamav/daily.cvd and /var/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmnew differ I thought the point of rpmnew files was so that we could check what has been changed?

Sometime in Feb, yum updated something to do with ca-bundle. I didn't notice at the time, but it put these two files on my machine: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt.rpmnew and /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.rpmnew Both of those on the existing system are symbolic links ca-bundle.trust.crt -> /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/openssl/ca-bundle-trust.crt and ca-bundle.crt ->

I installed Wine as root using "wine-20050524-1centos4winehq.i686.rpm". I then switched to my normal user account and ran "winefile". The "winefile" program run and displays drive "e:" and "z:", but no "c:". I looked through "~/.wine/config", and it appears "c:" is mapped to "/usr/share/wine-c". But I

The upgrade to 5.2 creates /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew. I see that /etc/pam.d/system-auth actually is a symlink to system-auth-ac. Is it recommended to replace that symlink with the rpmnew file?

That file is created AFTER you've made edits, and reflects only the state of the file in the latest package. So it's not clear what changed from the original package that needs to be

Hello centOS users, Today i've installed a fresh centos 3.1, and modified the [update] section of my/etc/yum.conf, to point on my own update repository. My update repository (3.1) contains exactly the same content that the official one. Update was successful but now /etc/yum.conf is missing :( Here it is what i've noticed during the update process: # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS

Hi! I have the following questions/problems with * 1.4. We have several Snom phones (320 and 360). Hints are configured in extensions.conf (core show hints shows the correct values). My Snom phone is registered to some numbers (validated by using sip show subscriptions). I see the lights blinking if someone calls the subscribed number and steady lights if the call is established. So far, so

Hi there, during peak load on some running domU, I noticed random iSCSI "Reported LUNs data has changed" which forced me to shutdown the respective domU, re-login the target and do a fsck before starting domU again. This occurred on a 16 core machine, having only about 14 domUs running. Spare memory has been occupied by dom0 (about 40G). Each domU has it''s own iSCSI target.

Hello, For many years we have modified the '/etc/named.conf' file to include local settings. The disadvantage with this is of course that when bind is updated, it creates an '/etc/named.conf.rpmnew' file. We then have to determine what is new, and apply the relevant changes to our modified named.conf file. There is, however, an '/etc/named' directory which I assumed was

After you do your update, done forget to do updatedb, makewhatis, ... The locate for rpmnew has a couple items of interest and the locate for rpmsave returns one that occupies 24MB of your precious disks - /var/lib/Pegasus/prev-repository*. It compresses nicely to appx. 1MB, cpio bzipped --best. Change in your rndc key too, for DNS.

AFAICT our current version does not correspond to any version in the Linux history. This commit resynchronised to the state in Linux commit 598bae70c2a8e35c8d39b610cca2b32afcf047af. Differences from upstream: find_cpio_data is __init, printk instead of pr_*. This appears to fix Debian bug #785187. "Appears" because my test box happens to be AMD and the issue is that the (valid) cpio

Hi! Some persons are using a TAPI driver to connect via the manager interface to the asterisk (1.4). While I can give every user his own password, I didn?t find a way to restrict a user to a certain phone number, so that he can only dial with his number via the TAPI driver and can only answer calls for another number. Is the possible? If yes, how? Thanks for the answers. Shade and sweet

I see that there is a new sshd_config in the latest updates. Since I have altered the original file, this one got installed as .rpmnew It has two changes: > #AddressFamily any So does this make it default to IPv4 only? > #ChrootDirectory none Chroot is now an option for SSH?

Hi list, here is what happened: today I noticed some resolution's problems on my network. I did a "service named status" and here was the output: # /etc/init.d/named status rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid.

Hi Alexander, Not sure if this of any help, but we had a similar problem with runaway SMBDs and what seemed to be oplocks. We are running RH6.2 with 0.7.26 ACLs. After much messing around and hassling Jeremy, I eventually changed the kernel from 2.2.19 to 2.2.20 and recompiled everything from scratch. Since then we have not had one of these rogue processes. I think Jeremy was right when he
