Hi, Taking this to a new thread. Thoughts on getting a new list started up ? Should it be centos-sysadmin or centos-infra ? Are we going to then restrict it to admin/infra related chatter ? in which case, does the eyeball density on this list reduce for that sort of content ? How about the politics and news stuff that gets posted to this list. And how would those things be addressed with

Just wondering if anyone can replicate this issue.... On CentOS 5.2, using vim 7.0.237, I'm having a consistent issue across all my centos boxen. if I try and access the help files direct (as root), such as ":help tutor" I get: "usr_01.txt.gz" [readonly][noeol][converted] 11L, 4393C E434: Can't find tag pattern Press ENTER or type command to continue If I press

Hi. We have a Windows laptop that has gotten too slow, it's borderline unusable, so I burned a CentOS 5.2 32-bit Live CD, just to try it out in the home. It boots up fine, but it does not connect to the Internet... Now we normally connect through a wireless network, there are several around here -- on the Windows box we choose the network to which to connect... but on CentOS there is

Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge? We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a bit paranoid about its functionality. The main things that confuse me are from the man page: "Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern" with no indication as to what defines "mailbox-pattern"

I recently install CentOS 5.2 on an older pc Abit VP6 motherboard 2 x 1GHz PIII processors 1.5GB RAM Nvidia MX440 video All works fine except when running X The display locks at ramdom times Sometimes it locks when I log in Sometimes it locks after several hours While it is locked I can ssh to this machine from another server I have to reboot to clear it Also when I reboot X starts with random

I have an odd situation here, maybe one of you can help.? We have a script that runs via a cron job.? It's purpose is to decrypt PGP-encrypted files in a certain directory.? I have tried the command two different ways, both fail with the same error message: gpg --decrypt $file > ${file%.txt}.decrypted.txt gpg --output ${file%.txt}.decrypted.txt --decrypt $file (Don't even ask about

Hi all, I'm just poking thru our previous sysadmin's user adding script and saw reference to a ~/.forward file containing the users email address. Any idea what it might be for? It's a tricky one to Google ;-) Thanx, Russell Smithies ? ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from

I'm running centos on a "limited" environment. Is it ok to turn off sendmail and run without it. Are there issues with doing that or is all Ok. Thanks, Jerry

I have created a local repo for CentOS 6 x86_64. I use a machine at 192.168.1.14 for that and created a directory structure /var/www/html/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64 then there are these directories at the location. Packages repodata Both are populated with many files. In my kickstart file I have a line: #repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64/ All seems

One of my servers is using ISO datetime formats (2011-02-27T15:22:15.519857-05:00) in the logs the rest use the default redhat/CentOS format (Feb 27 15:10:21). After a couple of hours searching google I cannot find where this is defined. I know I changed it some months ago as an experiment but forgotten where this was done. the ISO format breaks logwatch - thus I need to revert. TIA

My belief is that this is not possible, but there are many extremely knowledgeable people participating on this list and I would like to know if it is in fact possible. I am running CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) fully updated. Browser is Mozilla Firefox v.3.0.7. I believe both times this happened, once yesterday and once today, I was surfing on the web site of my favorite singer/musical group; or in the

talking with a client about various options for backup. They are an advertising agency so most of the space is used by various binary files JPG/TIFF/Movies. We have been using LTO-2 but if we jump up their storage to say 2Tb, that's going to be $5000 for LTO-3 with magazines. This affords us 3 week rotations rather simply. If we add hard drive storage for backups instead of buying LTO-3 tape

Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS team has already jumped on that, is there any word on Release 6? IIRC it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10), so I have to wonder. I didn't see anything jump out at me on the Red Hat site, so - anyone? Thanks. mhr

Hi, I'm trying to backup from one machine to the other (automatically via cron) using rsync and ssh password-less public key authentication. I having been trying to set this up following an article in a Linux magazine[1] by only allowing the specific rsync command to run on the remote box. I am using the following rsync command: $ rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/backup-key" /backup

I am looking for a beginner guide to shell scripting simple tasks on CentOS (e.g. ssh'ing into a server / router / switch, checking for certain things, then exiting and going to the next IP). Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? (I'm relatively new to bash) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I am currently using isolinux (syslinux-6.03) in a clonezilla setup. It boots fine, however I want to have a setup where the default boot selection alternates every boot. * First boot : Default is menu item 0 * Second boot : Default is menu item 1 * Third boot : Default is menu item 0 ... The idea is that when it is booted into clonezilla the clonezilla script checks if the system needs to
