Hello Everyone I'm looking into the best way to have locked version repos for my CentOS systems. The systems are all set up with Chef and have a couple different recopies/roles. I'd like to have locked version repos for each role with tested RPMs. Then perhaps quarterly apply any updates. It would be nice to have something showing which updates are available for these locked repos.

Satellite 6 also integrates Candlepin, Puppet and more. What I'm wondering is if the entire set of software - Satellite 6 as one piece - is going to get a new upstream project. > I have

Hello, I would like to mirror the centos.org repository for an offline network. I don't need the ISO images, don't need any i386 stuff, and I think I probably don't need any of the source code rpms either. Most of the clients are CentOS 6.x, so I don't want to download the CentOS 7.x tree yet either (that will come soon, but separately from this one). I tried using this command,

Hello, I'm looking for a solution to automatically yum update security relevant packages on a couple hundred Centos6/7 servers. The deployment/trigger would be Ansible. I looked into the "yum-plugin-security" and tested it on a CentOS 6 installation but always found no security relevant updates (yum list-security/yum --security update) where there should be at least a couple

I would start by testing IPA. Redhat is building out a set of enterprise management tools which include cobbler and spacewalk; I would think IPA will eventually be integrated into their mgt tools.

Hi ! I`m getting "rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1518) [generator=3.0.9]" on one of my systems i`m backing up with rsync , but rsync doesn`t show WHICH files. Does anybody have a clue under which circumstances rsync doesn`t show these ? regards Roland

Hi, all I have a number of machines that are out of sync with one another by virtue of having done a yum update after a base 6.2 install at different times (all were previous CentOS 5.3) Consequently, systems are a mix of 2.6.32-220.7.1, 2.6.32-220.13.1 or 2.6.32-220.17.1. So 2 questions: - Is it possible to perform a yum update (or another other kind of update), specifying installation

I have a mix of CentOS 5, 6, and now 7 servers at work. There are enough of them now that it is starting to make sense for them to get updates from an internal source. I've seen RHN Satellite in years past. It looks like it may be a way to allow Windows admins here (familiar with WSUS) to update Linux boxes. A local repo might be easier to set up, but (as with Spacewalk) it seems like

Hello, We are running CentOS 5.5 on a server that is not reporting any security updates: [root at server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: bay.uchicago.edu * extras: bay.uchicago.edu * updates: mirror.nyi.net Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed, for security, 261

Hi, I'm interested from where Centos gets the source RPMs of updates for Red Hat Linux? I suppose that they are publicly available but where? regards Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I've set up a very simple R repository. Just a single source library. Everything works fine. I can install the package on my client using: install.packages(repos='http://www.myServer.se/myRepo/', pkgs='myLib', dep=TRUE) However, I want to protect the repo, so I use a .htaccess, placed directly under 'myRepo' on the server. I use 'Authentication Basic' and

Dear helpers, I'm trying to extract certain rows from a matrix according to the values the rows have in a certain column. I've been googling for a while without result. Here's a reproducible example of a matrix (and the one I was playing with initially): > myrepo<-getOption("repos") >

I have read a couple old threads here on updates for servers, and I am looking for some mechanics to getting the actual updates done. I don't want automatic updates; I want to control when and what gets updated. First I have to determine that a particular server needs updates. I suppose a daily script that would run "yum check-updates' and emails me the results could work, but

I'm trying to back up our svn repositories, and I found a nice little backup command line bzip's the backup and creates the md5 hash all in one: svnadmin dump --deltas /repo |bzip2 |tee dump.bz2 | md5sum >dump.md5 The problem is I need to split the backups, so this doesn't really work. Is there perhaps another way of piping things to allow for splitting of the backups?

Hi I have been trying to get puppet working with kickstart. I am trying to install Hadoop on the nodes. Installing puppet from kickstart work and when the machine restarts, certificates are pulled down and hadoop user is created and files are extracted. I want all the user creation etc to be done before the machine reboots so that I can set up init.d scripts to do a start of hadoop . So I

Hi useRs I'm trying to figure out how to source an R script file straight from a subversion repository, without having to put a copy of the script into the local working directory. Has anyone done this? Something such as source(file = paste("svn://myrepo.xxx.org/opt/svn/repos/", "/Projects/SMcode/tags/v1.0/SMfuns.R", sep = ""))

Dear Patrice, I have noticed that you are referencing to the Stahnma repository for Spacewalk Client Tools. These are quite old and I would suggest to use the tools from: http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum instead. Mr. Suchy already pushed some of the packages to Fedora/EPEL so they might be available there, soon. Besides that the Spacewalk Team is thinking about a split between client/server on

This is slightly off topic, and may just be tossing red meat to y''all, but here goes: My boss has RedHat coming in on Tuesday to give a spiel on RHN Satellite. I''m dubious, as it seems mostly like a web UI wrapped around a Yum repository system and a half-baked configuration management system. I''m of the opinion that our time and money would be better spent getting

I am a little new to managing large numbers of CentOS/RHEL servers and was wondering what you experienced sysadmins prefer, Spacewalk or Puppet?
