similar to: Strange problem with filesystem changes reverting on reboot

We recently upgraded (as in, backup, reinstall, selective restore) a couple of servers from CentOS-3.9 to CentOS-5.1. This generally went smoothly but we've encountered one confusing problem with syslog. Under CentOS-3, syslog entries were always dated in the host local timezone. With CentOS-5.1, they're dated in UTC *most* of the time, but occasionally in the local timezone. This has

[Re-sending ...] I would like to ask why upstream and CentOS provide no compat-openssl packages like Novell does in SUSE. We are trying to install binaries for gLite (a huge toolkit for grid computing linked against upstream v4 libraries) on CentOS 5. I was under the impression that this would be possible because v5 is "binary-compatible" with v4. But it seems this "binary

Hi, apart from the mmap(2)ed DBM files that Samba uses, are they any cases where Samba will *modify* data files without setting the mtime ? I have issues with rsync not seeing changes to Samba exported files (md5sum don't match). The mtime is however in the very distant past (say 2004), but the content seems to have changed. I don't think it's a data integrity issue. Any idea ?

We have a CentOS 3 server with about 300GB of data on an ext2 filesystem that we need to mirror onto a new drive, which we're then going to pull out and put into a second server. A straight disk-to-disk copy (with rsync, tar, or "cp -a" doesn't much matter) manages about 75MB per minute, which would take almost three days, and the system gets very sluggish while such a copy is

Hello list, I've been using PXE Boot for quite some time now and it has been working without any problems. I'm using a Biostar M7VIZ mainboard with a VIA KM400 chipset, and VIA-Rhine VT6102 NIC. Yesterday I upgrade the Kernel on my net-boot machine from 2.4.24 to 2.6.12. When I power on the machine it boots up normally. However, when I reboot the machine, the mainboards PXE-ROM only

As I mentioned on a thread about flash-plugin a few days ago, I'm having trouble with my sound device getting "stuck" and thereby causing problems for anything that accesses it, like video playback. Rebooting the machine "fixes" it for a while, but it's unpredictable for how long -- sometimes months go by without it recurring, sometimes it happens every couple of days.

Sparc Solaris / UFS file system. I have some ACL's set up for a handful of users and its all worked flawlessly with every incarnation of Samba I've used over the past couple years, which would be most. Last Friday evening I upgraded from 3.0.11 to 3.0.13 and some of the users I have some ACL's set up for promptly found Monday that they couldn't save new Excel files, they'd be

Hi, We have been experiencing problems where workstations (Win2K SP3, latest updates) have their registry setting for EnablePlainTextPassword set to 0 after reboot. We have Samba 2.27 and a pilot of Samba 3.0 Could it be one of MSs sercurity updates ? Has anyone seen this before ? Any input would be welcome ! Thanks, Laurent Biron Motorola.

Dear all, I have found the following (for me) incomprehensible behaviour of ISOdate (POSIXct): > ISOdate(1900,6,16) [1] "1900-06-15 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" > ISOdate(1950,6,16) [1] "1950-06-16 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" Note that in the first case I get the 15th of June back, not the 16th as I would have expected! This happened under R-1.7.1 on

I'm having trouble with files being marked read-only in Windows because the Solaris file owner does not have write-permissions on the file; group-write is allowed: -r--rw---- 1 user group 32 Feb 13 14:19 testfile.txt I thought that setting "store dos attributes = yes" for this share would allow the "read only" setting to be stored in extended attributes, but it

Hello, I would like to run some code in parallel with each cluster reading/writing to a different working directory. I've tried the following code without success. The error I get is: "Error in setwd(x) : cannot change working directory" library(parallel) dirs <- list("out1","out2","out3") # these directories are located within the current

Hi, I did a standard i386 install of 5.2 on a test machine. Then I ran the following command yum install \* and got the following error.

I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta

Apologies if I should ask this elsewhere, google search is not helping. I've got a CentOS5 server with lighttpd installed from EPEL, configured for https only (no connections on ports other than 443). I have the latest security updates for openssl, etc. However, when connecting to the server with recent Chrome from Windows or Android, I get the "Your connection is not private"

Please let me know if this is or is not the right place to ask these types of questions. Warning: I am new to R by two days. I have a simple dataset.

Disclaimer: Not a troll I'm curious as to this obsession with uptime is. All of the posts of this type are along the lines of "After X days, Y thing does not work but if I reload or reboot, it's OK" - so why not cron a reboot? Is it considered bad form or something like that? I reboot every night whether it is needed or not, not afraid to admit it, and everything works fine for

I got file conflicts between the sysreport and sos packages on the file /usr/sbin/sysreport. I unchecked sysreport in the package updater UI and the rest of the update is proceedng.

I'd been putting off installing the FX3 packages because of some extensions I use that don't have upgrades. [*] However, when FX1.5 crashed on me today I decided to finally go ahead. Fired up yum and I'm told I have to install a slew of evolution28 library packages in order to install the firefox package. Why? I removed evolution from my system for a reason, and I'd just as

If it wouldn't be too much trouble ... when a kernel security update notice is posted to the announcements list, would it be possible to indicate whether the centosplus kernel is also susceptible to the security issue being patched? I'm running the plus kernel now, and find myself wondering whether I will ever need to back off to the base kernel because of security issues. Or is it
