Hello listmates, As some of you may know we have been having a really bad problem with Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 cards. See here for details: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?24,140124,140224 So now my question is, what PCI 1 Gbit/s Ethernet adapters should I use under CentOS? If you have had a consistent positive experience with any particular chipset/brand please speak up.

Hello listmates, I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

Hello listmates, I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/ http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication? Thanks.

Hello listmates, So, what's the story with CentOS 6? It is supposed to be out by now, or coming out soon, or so I heard - but yet there seems to be no mention of it at http://centos.org/ . Does anybody know what's up with that? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I can't find the 32 bit version of Centos 7. Would it be because I am not looking in the right place or does it not exist at all? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I have been playing with Xen VM's and was wondering what the minimum RAM size in which you could run CentOS 5.5 (i386). So far I managed to install in 256 MB or 512 MB and then shrink the VM's RAM to 128 MB and still run the installation. Would anyone know why the install in a 128 MB VM fails (even in text mode)? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, Has anyone got any experience running Remote-Anything ( http://remote-anything.com/ ) under Linux as a client (i.e., connecting from a Linux box t oa Windows box with a view of controlling the latter)? Is it even possible? If the answer to this last question is "yes" how does one do that? Thanks in advance. Boris.

Hello listmates, I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I have encountered a rather peculiar situation. We have a Centos 6 VM (64 bit) running on a VMware vSphere 5.5 server. It was running just fine until one day I decided to reboot it and it just would not boot up. Effectively, dracut failed to initialize the LVM, much like under the scenario described here:

Hi listmates, Happy Thanksgiving! Does anybody know if there is a convenient utility to configure iptables on a CentOS 5.4 or 5.3 machine to do port forwarding? And if not, where and how does one put the requisite commands? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I've got this Centos 5.5 box which I am trying to configure as an OpenVPN server. Now 2.1.4 seems to have added pkcs11 support and that stops me from creating the CA and other necessary files: [root at gw5fl 2.0]# . ./vars bash: /usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.1.4/easy-rsa/2.0/whichopensslcnf: Permission denied NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on

Hello listmates, We are working on setting up two private networks linked by a public network which is fast (1 Gbit/s) but potentially insecure. Since the hosts on our two networks need to talk to each other, and do so securely, we have decided to use OpenVPN to connect them, making one gateway a server and the other a client. The connectivity part was easy to establish and worked like a charm.

Hello listmates, I have two seemingly identical (in this reglard, at least) machine - both of them are running CentOS 6.2 with bind (bind-chroot) installed. I used webmin to edit the DNS configuration. One one of them it seems to work fine, on the other I get messages akin to the following: Failed to create master zone : Failed to replace /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf with

Hello listmates, xsane on Ubuntu 10 finds that Canon PIXMA via the web and seems to be able to make use of it without a glitch. However, Centos machines sitting on the same net fail to find it. Does anybody know why? Thanks. Boris. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello listmates, I am considering getting this multi-functional printer (printer/scanner/fax): http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6052773&CatId=2709 Has anybody used it under Linux? What was that experience like? Thanks. Boris. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello listmates, It appears that system-config-bind has been phased out. Whatever the reasoning was behind that decision - what are we expected to do now? Edit it manually? That is doable, of course, but kind of cumbersome. Does anybody know if there is a tool we are expected to use for that purpose? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, This is not specifically CentOS-related - though I will probably execute this design on CentOS if I decide to do so. It will certainly be some kind of Linux. At any rate, here's my situation. I would like to build a fairly large storage solution (let us say, 100 TB). I want this solution to be distributed and redundant. I want to be able to lose part of the machines involved

Hello listmates, I have a machine that is running Centos 5.8. I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.19 on it and that requires PHP 5.3 which I got from the combination of the Remi and EPEL repositories. But now I can not fet a working PHP MySQL connector for it. Does anybody know where I can find one? Thanks. Boris.

Hi all, We are currently running a NFS-based server centric setup. I would like to set up something where I can easily have more than one redundant server, security/authentication (this part seems a little flaky with NFS, at least did several years ago), with the capability to easily add/remove servers as necessary, take redundant servers down for maintenance, etc. Total volume we expect to run

Hi all, I have what appears to be a truly puzzling problem. I've got this P4 32-bit machine running CentOS 5.5 with XEN that has two NICs: one onboard, an Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit and one on an expansion card, Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit. The second one is recognized as eth1. What's happening is, it is showing up under one of the two MAC's: either
