similar to: Want to _prevent_ upgrade to centos 5.2

Hello all, I was upgrading a CentOS 5.1 box to 5.2 remotely, and I lost my ssh connection to the server. Now when I rerun the "yum upgrade" it fails due to conflicts in the transaction check stage. Before I dig myself a deeper hole, I think I need advice. The original error I received was a conflict between python-devel and python, so I erased python-devel with the plan to

Hey every one, Over the past week I have been exploring puppet and had been ignoring an oddity in its output that Luke helped me figure out today. It all started with trying to configure puppet to configure iptables using redhats utility system-config-securitylevel-tui on rhel4. I was able to get it up and running using the following configuration: node default{ firewall {rhel4:

I'm trying to NFS-mount a CentOS directory on my Fedora laptop, but I find I can only do this is I turn off the firewall on the CentOS server. If instead I go to system-config-securitylevel-tui on the server, and allow NFS4, this does not do the trick. Nor does allowing port 2049. What do I need to allow? [I should say that the CentOS server is remote, and difficult to access directly; that

Hi, I'm using the generic system-config-securitylevel-tui program on a remote server to configure my firewall. So far it's been fairly decent, allowing me to open up ports and whatnot. But I want to start blocking a couple of outgoing ports on my machine. I want to lock it down so the only traffic going in our out of my machine is stuff that I specify. Is there a way to do this

Hi, I'm using the preconfigured firewall that comes with CentOS 5. I configure it with system-config-securitylevel-tui, close all ports except SSH, and then open only the ones I need. Right now, on one of my desktops, I've installed AMSN, which requires opening a series of ports. I've configured the app to use ports 7000 to 7010 (TCP and UDP). When running

Hi, I'm planning to use CentOS 6.x on a handful of LAN servers. So far I've been using Slackware64 14.0 and 14.1 for the job. I wonder what's the orthodox/recommended way of configuring and iptables firewall with CentOS. I understand there's the system-config-securitylevel-tui NCurses interface which allows defining a basic set of rules. But what about the handful of more

In following up on the rsh "problem" I was having earlier, I decided to try out the suggestion Felipe sent about using system-config-securitylevel-tui to open up ports 513 and 514, but that doesn't seem to do the job, either. # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere

Hello everyone, I am setting up a new system for use as a testing/demo/trial-and-error system. I have installed CentOS 4.4 on it. There is not an X-environment, so I will need to fix this from the command line (via ssh access). I am trying to do an nfs export from this box to another on my internal home network. I have figured out that it is a firewall issue on the CentOS box (I turn off the

Hi, When browsing the (excellent) deployment guide I found the following broken links: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-basic-firewall-securitylevel-enable.html ('Next' link from http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-basic-firewall-securitylevel.html) http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-iptables-options-commands.html

Hi, I've been contacted by a local training center specialized in Oracle databases, to train a group of four administrators to use Linux. They're supposed to use Oracle Linux (more exactly "OL5"), which I understand is some specialized version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I'm reasonably proficient with CentOS. I've been using it exclusively on desktops and servers

Hi I have inherited some kickstarts that attempt to remove some packages that at some point its been deemed they are not required. I am migrating all this over to cobbler but trying to get to the bottom of this error that although the kickstart completes sshd cant start as the package nss is not installed. It fails with this Installing nss - 3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64 error:

In CentOS 6.7 I ran setup command and I could configure network settings from that "gui" utility at command line. In CentOS 7 I don't know where this goes or how to enabled. I have installed a few packages: yum install setuptool -y \ && yum install system-config-network-tui -y \ && yum install system-config-firewall* -y \ && yum install

it's strange since this kernel don't have kvm support, qemu or qemu-kvm or kvm package is not added. even though it was said that 5.4 will support kvm?:-( Tom "spot" Callaway wrote: > New Packages in RHEL 5.4 Beta: > ******************************** > blktrace-1.0.0-6.el5.src.rpm > celt051-0.5.1.3-0.el5.src.rpm > etherboot-5.4.4-10.el5.src.rpm >

I have this same problem on 3.0.10, and I also "fixed" it by deleting the tdbs. My problem, had nothing to do with printing, it was happening once I started winbindd with security = ADS. Jerry, what would we need to do to track this bug down in the tdb code? I have logs at level 10, ltrace output, and a backtrace. Do you think that there were changes made to the tdb code in 3.0.12

Hi All, Hi All, MySQL 5.0.77 on CentOS 5.4 MySQL is running, my Wordpress stuff is working, but I cannot connect to the server from my house. This server is in my house, however, but on a public IP, behind a firewall, etc. I checked my hardware firewall (a dedicated UnTangle system) and that is successfully allowing the passage. I know this because the firewall shows: 2009-12-22 6:29:41 am

I've been having problems since updating to samba 3.0.10 on Debian 3.1 Below is the output of ltrace and gdb on the offending smbd process. I tried upgrading to 3.0.11 and the problem still exists. Anyone have any suggestions? [ltrace output] After about 20 seconds on the processes ltrace loops this iconv(0x82cecc8, 0xbffff218, 0xbffff21c, 0xbffff220, 0xbffff224) = -1 __errno_location()

Sometimes retrieving the image, sometimes formatting the filesystem, sometimes installing the packages,etc. I tried upgrading to xen 3.2 and encounter the same problem before rebuilding back to stock Centos 5.1
