Hi, Red Hat started releasing security advisories and update packages that are part of RHEL3 U9. Still, on RHN there are no RHEL3 U9 ISO images released yet. As usual, CentOS will make available CentOS 3.9 when it is deemed ready. So there is no need to ask when it is going to be released :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm

Hi, I'm looking for a tool that breaks a working system (in one or more ways) with the sole purpose to fix it again. The aim would be to use this tool for several debugging techniques sessions in our local LUG. When I was invited to speak at a local LUG I was wondering what was the best way to demonstrate some of the tools (and more importantly) the way to tackle a problem. And nothing

Hi, I'm working on a RHSA tracking tool, named Sarah. It allows you to build a local RHSA database of different RHEL releases and then allows you to verify systems for compliance (and lists applicable RHSA and required packages). But before releasing my prototype, I would like to know what requirements people have. How they would be using such a tool and what for reports they need to

Hi, I would like to announce a set of OCFS2 kABI-tracking kernel module packages for RHEL5, Scientific Linux 5 and CentOS-5 and kernels. These packages have been introduced into the ELRepo testing repository (http://elrepo.org/). You can find these packages at: http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el5/ The ELRepo project is a community project providing various additional kernel modules for

Hi, I had the following problem today. Because of a misconfigured network switch one system suddenly didn't have any network. After a reboot (with the network still unavailable) NTPD refused to start. Most likely because the initial ntpdate failed to work. I find this troubling, because when the network was restored, NTPD could have resumed working (like I'd expect from a true

Every post I do to this mailinglist is followed by a bounce message from "centos.5.warren at recursor.net". I have no clue why this is being send to me, afaics some IP address is being blacklisted but I am not related to it. Am I the only one who gets this and can we remove this person from the mailinglist ? Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/

I need to install asciidoc on my build machine. There is a version for CentOS-5 available at dags rpm site. I have a repository configured for dag like so: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

With the latest message I send to the CentOS list I got this strange 'probe' message. The included bounce example has nothing to do with my email-adres, but rather with someone subscribed to the list. So it seems that somehow the mailinglist manager is sending bounces to the wrong email-adres. Or I do not understand the 'probe' message (and the included bounce message) at all.

Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4. When yam calls t up2date to download updates, up2date returns this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yam", line 1099, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/yam", line 983, in main

Wayne, others, Using the same version on server and client, I still got this error. This was still based on last night's CVS (HEAD-20050314-1745GMT) and I am certain both side's versions are identical. :) ... source/sudosh-1.4.7-1.rf.src.rpm 98373 100% 536.69kB/s 0:00:00 (798, 99.9% of 244497) Invalid packet at end of run [sender] rsync error: protocol incompatibility

Hey folks, It looks to me like the httpd on CentOS is stuck at 2.2.2 - what's up with that? Even after a yum upgrade. I need 2.2.10 or greater, and would prefer to get it via yum or at very last an RPM if at all possible. But I cannot even find an RPM out there. For some reason both EPEL and Dag Wieers do not even seem to have an httpd RPM for RHEL5 Any idea where to look? Why are we

Hi, Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ? The other tabs do not include CentOS either. For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on 1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be. Renaming "CentOS Events" to "Events"

Hi, Does anyone have experience using IPSEC on CentOS in order to connect to vendor IPSEC-based VPN products (specifically Checkpoint FW1) ? Is the included IPSEC implementation sufficient, or do people have to rely on OpenSWAN or FreeSWAN ? I'd be testing tomorrow and I'm interested with experiences others have had and things to look out for. Thanks in advance, -- dag wieers, dag

Hi, Question number 3 :) I'd like to do something like this: display text.msg append text kssendmac ksdevice=eth1 ks=http://1.2.3.4/footprint/ default localboot label localboot localboot 0x80 label system?5 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.5 netmask=255.255.255.192 gateway=1.2.3.1 label system6 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.6

Hi guys, I would like to reorganise the general CentOS FAQ. It now has 20 questions about a lot of different things that can be structure much better. I would like to add some questions, but lacking any structure... I would like to make a distinction between the following subjects: - General questions about the CentOS project Answers about what the project is about, why the project

Hi, I think the time (150 messages and counting) has come to ask someone of the CentOS team to start moderating this list. I don't mind people discussing whatever topic they like, but not at the expense of the mailinglist and its members. I don't think the topic really doesn't matter in these discussions, and if done in private they would stand for long anyway. I would propose

Hi, Trying to simplify the postfix/dovecot/saslauthd setup with less than 10 users, I was looking for some way to NOT duplicate the username/password setup. Currently I need to use a seperate file for dovecot as I do for saslauthd. (One is a simple shadow-alike file, the other the sasldb) I know that postfix 2.3 can use dovecot directly for sasl authentication, and that would be a neat

Hi, I think I found a problem with syslinux where if you have an entry in the syslinux config file (eg. linux) and you type some additional parameters on the boot-prompt (eg. noacpi) the last character of the prompt is cut off (and missing from /proc/cmdline). This does not seem to happen for the append line in the config file, only for additional parameters on the boot prompt. (I guess it
