If there is a serious power failure, eg during an electric storm, and the internet goes down then my CentOS-6.2 server seems to take an inordinate time, maybe forever, to get past fail2ban. It is as though there is an extremely long - maybe an hour - timeout if fail2ban cannot connect to the internet. (I usually stop the machine with the power-button, re-boot into a different OS (Fedora) and

Respecting cloning vm guests, I see in /etc/ssh the following: ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_key ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key.pub Is there a simple script somewhere to regenerate all the server host keys for the new guest after cloning? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

I have two computers: both running CentOS 6.7, 64-bit, with kernel 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64. One is a laptop with an 2 core Intel processor and the other is a desktop machine with a 4 core AMD processor. Both with selinux enabled. I have a USB serial port device (a RR-CirKits LCC-Buffer USB). On the desktop I am getting this error: sauron.deepsoft.com% sudo minicom Device /dev/ttyACM0

I did a yum update on my CentOS 6 laptop and it upgraded Firefox to 78, and FF stopped seeing my mic and speakers. Is there some magic I need to do? As a short term (?) fix, I downgraded back to Firefox 68.

Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5?

I am trying to get amanda backup going on a CentOS 7 system and things are not working: sharky4.deepsoft.com% sudo systemctl start amanda-udp [sudo] password for heller: Job for amanda-udp.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded.

I am wondering about updating the version of Spam Assassin on my CentOS 5 mail server. The current version, 3.3.1-4.el5 (stock RHEL version), has been 'leaking' recently. I suspect I need some newer match rules to detect some of the newer flavors of spam. I see that in rpmforge's extras repo is version 3.3.2-4.el5.rfx -- is this version worth installing? Are there even newer versions

Is there some reason the ahci kernel module is *missing* from the 2.6.9-89.0.16.plus.c4 kernel? It is in the standard 2.6.9-89.0.16.EL kernel. Is this due to an oversight or is there some sort of conflict? I wanted to add IEEE1394 support to my system running CentOS 4.8. I *looks* like what I need to do is download the kernel SRPM and patch the config to include the IEEE1394 modules and

OK, I wanted to replace the 500G disks in a Dell T20 server with new 2TB disks. The machine has 4 SATA ports, one used for the optical disk and three for the hard drives. It is set up with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with each three partitions: 1 -- VFAT (for EFI) 2 -- ext4 (for /boot) 3 -- LVM /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 are a mirror raid (/dev/md0) /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3 are a mirror raid

What is the trick to get Postfix's local command to pipe mail through procmail? I have: -bash-4.1$ grep allow_mail_to_commands /etc/postfix/main.cf allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward and -bash-4.1$ cat .forward |/usr/bin/procmail and a .procmailrc file: -bash-4.1$ cat .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bsd:/bin:/usr/bin:/exp/rcf/share/bin MAILDIR=/var/lib/amanda/Mail #you'd better

For some awful reason (can someone explain why?), the RHEL/CentOS build of firefox is hardwired to use evolution as its mailto client. With FF 2.<mumble> this was fixable with an about:config setting. With 3.0.<mumble>, it seems not. What is the proper way of fixing this? *I* ended up doing a 'sudo rpm -e evolution' and then doing a 'sudo ln -s

What is the rule of thumb for reboots after updates... Certainly if I update from 5.2 to 5.3 I reboot. But if you update something like krb5 or pam does that require a reboot? Does the "fix" get automatically loaded and used or do you just do a reboot always? Thanks, Jerry

I posted this to the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup, but it might relate to a possible bug in the Mingw32 cross-build environment under CentOS 6 (or EPEL).

Hello I'm new to linux and am trying to install centos 5.3 on my laptop and it has an ata drive but centos does not see the had or cdrom. Googleing does not give me much to check. The laptop is a hp-g60 249wm, latest bios update. The bios does not have any ability to change drive information. The bios basically allows me to only set time, date and boot item. Any advice or direction is
