i've just started looking after a (virtual) centos 5.4 server that's hosted at rackspace and, unsurprisingly, it was set up with all the standard defaults. part of the work i'll be doing involves php and, as i read it, the standard php version with centos 5.4 is php-5.1. if i *wanted* to move up to a more recent version (say, php-5.3), obviously, i'd need to go outside the

being used to mysql 5.1 on my fedora system, i'm suddenly looking after a centos 5.4 box with mysql 5.0.77. before i start digging into the mysql 5.0-5.1 changelog, do i have a lot to worry about in terms of mentally backing up one version? or is simply upgrading the centos box to mysql 5.1 an option? (i realize that mysql 5.1 is *not* officially supported in centos 5.4.) rday --

Dear All, Sorry, cause this is OT. I am asking this for my client, they hope to find a simple open source web base software with invoicing and serial no tracking, preferably if can generate continuous serial no by its own. Thanks in advance. David

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

Hi, I am trying to secure my CentOS file systems by introducing "nodev" to devies defined in /etc/fstab. I learned that "nodev" prevents users from mounting unauthorized devices. However, I can still mount a cdrom to /tmp/cdrom with the following defined in /etc/fstab. Am I missing something? Thanks. LABEL=/tmp /tmp

Hi, I need to securely wipe out a disk on a remote machine, but I don't have access to that machine. Therefore I cannot use the LiveCD+shred (or dd) combination. Besides manually shreding known data files, I am wondering if there is a (free) tool that can be used in my case. Thanks.

Dear OCS fellows, I've been thinking about working on adding power devices knowledge to OCS for years.

So please keep in mind that the target is also to be able to

Anyone here use spacewalk as opposed other foss apps to accomplish the same thing? Any opinions? Thanks, jlc

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

Hi, I would like to contribute a howto page about the configuration of Spacewalk for package management under CentOS 5. Spacewalk is the upstream project for the source of RedHat Network Satellite.
