similar to: applying kernel patch

Hi, I need to maintain a same user/group list on multiples systems. Can we just copy the same passwd and groups file on all machines? If we create a new user on one system then I will need to copy this to all other systems. This is quite cumbersome. Any suggestions? - CS.

Howdy, I have a diff file in my /var/tmp and would like to apply patch to a file in a different directory (other than /va/tmp). I tried using patch with -d switch, but that doesn't work. It complains abt 'patch: **** Can't open patch file tilda.diff : No such file or directory'. Do I need to copy my diff file to the directory where original file resides? Or is there any other way

Hi, I am working on a kickstart install method and it works fine with cdrom as installation media. I would like change this media to an online resource. I saw option as - 'url --url http://<server>/<dir>'. I am not sure what should be the directory contents? Should we put all ISOs in that directory or what? Any insights? Thanks, CS.

Well I am working on building a kernel that will have the IPsec BEET mode patch available from infrahip.hiit.fi. I have some decent help, but really no one there is a seasoned Centos kernel builder (though they work with different FC kernels), and now they are mostly done for the day. I have been following the wiki on building a custom kernel, got my patch in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and away with

Hi, I would like to give read-only access to mysql and apache-http server log files to a non-root user. I can modify group or other permissions. But is there any other way you can suggest? Can I update it in user's home dir? -- CS.

Hello, Today I built a custom kernel in CentOS 5 following the instructions on this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel It's excellent, but I have some remarks I would add: 1. %define buildid .your_identifier In the commented line, there is a space after the % sign. You have to manually remove this space. I think someone was bit by this a short while ago. I think making this

Hi list, I can successfully build the driver modules; hdlc, dlci, syncppp, and lmc from the 2.6.18-128.1.14 kernel source rpm, and have managed to create a 'wan kmod' rpm. It all works fine for IPv4, but now I need IPv6 for ppp connections, which doesn't work for me. I think I'll need to back port Krzysztof Halasa's 'ppp for generic hdlc' patches to the

Hi, I am not sure how to configure LDAP authentication with samba. I have a windows box, which is part of Active Directory domain and does user authentication against it. I would like to use same user credentials and map them to a appropriate network drive (linux home dirs). In short, Linux user's home dir should be available on Windows box also. I looked at the smb.conf man page, but I

Hi, I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this setup. Now I need to create a local user account and have its home dir also on local system. So I added a new user account and changed auto.home as follows: test1 -rw,hard,intr /home/test1 * -rw,hard,intr nfs1:/export/users/& But this

Howdy, I am having time-drift issues on my CentOS VM. I had referred to following documentation: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server , however it didn't help. I used kickstart for creating this VM and I am listing important steps in ref to timekeeping issue. Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated. - CS. ------------------- # For EL5 virtual machines, Append the

As I plow through the Kernel source to figure out why the BEET patch is not working, I notice that there are two similar directories under ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18: linux-2.16.18.i386 and linux-2.16.18.i686 So which one am I suppose to be patching? Currently, the patch starts out with: diff -urN a/net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.c b/net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.c I followed the kernel source setup

I am using autofs to mount user's home and group directories. The setup works fine for home directories which are mounted after user logs in. The group shares are also mounted, but user has to manually do cd or ls command on group shares, e.g.: ls /groups/chemistry will mount chemistry group share. Is there any way to mount group shares automatically? I noticed that after successful login

Howdy, How do I change the hostname? In particular, what is the difference between /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network files? Where should I make the changes?

I?m trying to build a 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel without kabichk.

I had modified the .SPEC file according to the WIKI page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel I have NOT

Hello All, RHEL9 deprecated version 1 x86_64 cpus. My old testbench HP workstation has such a version 1 cpu. I've tested install of Rocky Linux 9 and CentOS9Stream but no go upon reboot after install -- kernel panic. Is there a way to recompile the kernel to handle the legacy cpu after install -- via some other live cd, perhaps? Due to the fact I can't reboot after install, I'm not

Hi All, My question is directed at those with kernel compiling experience. I have a driver source xxxxx.c file and a Makefile with it. I want to recompile the kernel to include the driver and rebuild the initrd.img. Where do I copy the file in the kernel sources? I currently have it in a sub folder of the drivers directory in the kernel source folder. There is one more question if I may, it does
