similar to: CentOS6: installing 32bit and 64bit RPMS via the installer?

Hello, it looks like the usual way to do ipsec on centos5 won't work anymore on centos6 I installed ipsec-tools but an interface type IPsec is not recognized by the kernel ifup ipsec0 Device does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. I am not planning to use the awful OpenSwan, I Want to sue the Kame implementation which was working fine on CentOS5 any hints ? thank you

Most of my desktops are still running CentOS5, but I have installed CentOS6 on a few of them. The users on those desktops are reporting that DNS lookups are slow, and from my brief tests, that does appear to be the case. After some googling, I found a suggestion to disable IPv6, but that didn't help. So I tried to figure out where the delay occurs using strace and ltrace, but that

On CentOS5 I was used to create a simple spec file where at the end I'll declare files and directories I wan't to package: --< Snip >-- %files %dir /opt/myapp %dir /opt/myapp/bin %dir /opt/myapp/etc /opt/myapp/bin/exec01 /opt/myapp/etc/myapp.conf ---- I'll copy the file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run "rpmbuild -bb myapp.spec". On CentOS6 rpm-build package no longer

Dear CentOS, I have recently upgraded several servers from CentOS4 to CentOS5 and I am noticing a strange change to the stat() call. I have written a very small program to test and show the behavior. I am calling stat() against a file which is exported from my NAS and mounted with 32k read/write sizes. [dougalb at centos4 tmp]$ cat my_stat.c #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h>

Is there any chance the system-config-netboot* rpms upstream removed from CentOS6 could be provided in extras? The CentOS5 SRPM builds cleanly under CentOS6, and upstream's workaround is insufficient as it only covers diskless clients, not helpful if you need pxeos.

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

Hi all, Somebody have tried to run a centos5 lxc guest under centos6 host?? Is it possible?? Thanks.

Dear Akemi, I'm really ashamed, in "https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source" I've missed the last 5 lines following the CentOS5 section. All is now clear for me on the process to follow to build a new kernel from source rpm and the CONFIG_NUMA_EMU option is active. I've set it with make menuconfig to avoid some additional mistakes in the config file.

HTTPD on some of my CentOS5 systems is configured to run as user "nobody". Also, it needs access to some exported file systems. CentOS5 uses NFS3 so I changed the ownership of the files on the storage server to "nobody" to give httpd full permissions. Now I want to rebuild these systems with CentOS6 and httpd running as user "apache". The problem is how to give

Dear All, I'm sending this mail in relation to a post on the CentOs 6 forum : https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32545&start=0#forumpost139559 CentOs 6 works great so far, and I do not want to sound impatient, but I'm eager to find out when Ltsp would be available on CentOs6 - or even in Rhel6. We now use Kiwi-Ltsp on OpenSuse and

Hello, I just wrote instructions for building Xen 4.2 from sources on various RPM-based Linux distributions. The guide is available here: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora I was able to successfully build Xen 4.2.0-rc2 on the following Linux distros: - CentOS 5.8 x64 - CentOS 6.3 x64 - Fedora 17 x64 RHEL5/CentOS5 requires some hackery to get

I just realised that pam_access no longer works under CentOS6 - or it works differently from CentOS5. Under CentOS5, I used this configuration to restrict access to root only: # cat /etc/security/access.conf + : root : ALL - : ALL : ALL # cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac ... account required pam_access.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_localuser.so

So I have a couple patches supplied to me by upstream in relation to a kernel bug[1], but I can't figure out how to patch the kernel. The CentOS wiki page discusses retrieving the kernel source[2], but doesn't describe how to apply patches. Instructions I've found apply to CentOS5, and RH has changed their kernel packaging since then. I've been banging my head on this off and on

The Gnome weather report applet has ceased working on CentOS5/6. http://weather.noaa.gov/ says "This service is no longer available". Are there any good alternatives? I liked the applet as it allowed the use of a custom radar map. As I just discovered, the weather functionality of the CentOS6 Gnome clock applet was using the same service.

Folks I just installed a centos6 system on a 64-bit box. My methods include remote administration, using ssh from a windows machine. I use this method successfully on several Centos5 boxes and one Centos6 (32bit) machine as well. However, on this latest one, I get inconsistent results with ssh. This is a server, SELINUX is disabled, it's command line only, and I have installed

Hi *! I have to install a xen virtualization host that will start with 4GB RAM and will maybe grow to 8GB in the future. And there has to be a 32bit winXP domU. Is CentOS5(.1) x86_64 able to run 32bit HVMs or do i have to stick with i386/PAE? /nils.

Hi, I''m trying to write a recipe to install the latest libstdc++ in both 32bit and 64bit flavors and running into issues. Yum only wants to install the 64bit version if I do: yum install libstdc++ If I do something like: package { "libstdc++.i386" : ensure => latest } It tells me "nothing to do" Any suggestions on the right way to do this? Thanks! Alan --

Hi all. I'm trying to bring an Amazon VM into the LAN by following this guide [0]. However, it appears that OpenSSH on either RHEL7 or CentOS7 is broken as it is not creating tap interface but tun interface. I've tried this on both CentOS5 and CentOS6 and they both work as advertised! Downgrading the OS is not an option! CentOS5/6 gives me: ****************** tap1:
