Thanks for the breakdown Paul - I've had to learn all my sysadmin stuff through organic interactions like this. Still though - someone manages the default repositories - so my question is, who decides when a package gets an update from whatever CentOS ships with default to a newer version? How does that process take place, and, can I affect it by adding microcode_ctl-2.1-18 ? On Wed, Jan 4,

Thanks Mark and Christian, I have two Samba servers running those two versions. That reassure me!

Our new-to-us Isilon is handling NFSv4 ACLs differently than other NFS file servers we've had. In particular, something causes an 'O' to pop up in the permission field, but I cannot find any documentation of it. For example, [Linux]$ nfs4_getfacl TODO A::OWNER@:tTcCy A::GROUP@:tcy A::EVERYONE@:rwaxtTnNcy A:O:OWNER@:rwadxtTnNcCoy A:gO:admins at madboa.com:rwadxtTnNcy A:gO:readonly

There is a slight performance related reason for exporting disk partitions individually, the performance boost is server-side as Paul says. The advantage is that the no_subtree_check can be used without any additional security risk. It is probably the case that the /export/base/a is a partition, is exported with no_subtree_check, and therefore there is a small performance boost. Preventing

In case you didn't see it, the initial CentOS 6 trees have been released to QA: http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/node/81 -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/

I've got a CentOS 6 machine that's slated to go into production providing some web and development-repository services. Part of the environment is gitweb, which works as expected with one glitch: SELinux doesn't allow gitweb.cgi to query sssd to display who owns the repositories. The audit log entries are pretty straightforward, e.g., type=AVC msg=audit(XXXXXXXXXXXX): avc:

I'm (finally) getting around to putting a backup LDAP authentication server on my network. The backup uses syncrepl to grab the database, and to my eyes both LDAP servers answer read queries identically. I'm testing the client side of this configuration on virtual CentOS 5 i386 machine. /etc/ldap.conf reads ----- %< ----- base dc=DOMAIN,dc=com timelimit 30 bind_timelimit 30

Hello. Since CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor, can that "prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor" delay the release of the source of a specific package? If yes, for how long? Thanks
