similar to: Centos6(64) SSH sessions fail irregularly

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

Folks I've installed Centos6 and Samba. I noticed that the program "nmblookup" and a few other Samba related programs, documented in the RHEL6 guide, are not included in Centos6. A search using YUM also did not find "nmblookup", using the repositories: base, centosplus, contrib, cr, epel, extras, updates, virtualbox Has its functionality been moved elsewhere, or

Folks Logwatch is doing its thing properly on my 32-bit servers, delivering the report by mail to my root account once a day sometime around 3:30am. On the 64-bit systems, no mail is occurring. From the "cron" log on a 64-bit system, there are lines like: cron-20110821:Aug 21 03:36:23 XXX run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[9727]: finished 0logwatch (where "XXX" stands for the

Folks My experiments with installing ZFS-FUSE in a Centos 6 system reveal behavior different from that observed in Centos 5.6. The version of ZFS-FUSE is that provided on the EPEL repository, and was installed on a 32-bit machine. I use it because of its deduplication facility. In Centos 5.6, the facility worked as advertised. In Centos 6, however, the system "hung" in

Folks This might be the wrong place to ask, but I don't know where to turn. My internal home network, including wireless, is controlled by a Centos6 server, which provides dhcpd services, along with NAT. I have DHCPD configured with the addresses 192.168.155.200 through 192.168.155.254 as the range for dynamic allocations. The default-lease time is 1800 seconds, the maximum is 3600

Folks My experiments have shown that Samba behaves differently in Centos 5.6 and Centos 6 (updated). In Centos 5, service smb restart restarts both smb and nmb. In Centos 6, however, it restarts only smb. REMEDY: a) Make sure that both services running b) Issue chkconfig smb on chkconfig nmb on IS THIS THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR I have no idea if this difference is a

Rob DNS service for my clients is provided by my gateway server, the same machine as the DHCPD server. I think that's what the "option domain-name-servers" line does. This allows me to provide 192.168 addresses to them when they try to access anything inside the house with a name. If it's not a locally defined name, BIND forwards the request to the internet. I'm not

Hi, This is slightly offtopic, but I have been trying to resolve that problem for two days now without much success. It looks like this may be something that works with CENTOS5, but not with CENTOS6! I have two machines, fileserver1 and server5. fileserver1 runs on CENTOS6 (virtualized, if this is important), server5 runs on Centos5. Both are running with the most recent updates. Server5 is a

I just noticed an interesting behaviour of rup on CentOS5/6: run without any host args, it never prints results for CentOS6 machines. However, if a CentOS6 machine is queried directly, there is a result. It doesnt't matter whether the querying host runs CentOS5 or CentOS6. # rup |grep centos6host # rup centos6host centos6host up 12 days, 19:33, load average: 0.22 0.18 0.11 #

Has anyone managed to install a Centos6 or Centos7 in Washington or Orgegon, or anywhere else that Comcast has deployed the IPV6to4 routers. The router in question is a Xfinity DCP3939 Router with Wireless, and I'm trying to get a Centos system working behind that router (with a wired connection), and enable SSH access from outside. Does one have to enable both IPV6 and IPV4? Can I

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

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

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

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.

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

Installing 64bit CentOS6 only installs x86_64 and noarch RPMS - however, I have a number of legacy 32bit apps that require a number of 32bit RPMS to be installed. Does anyone know how to get the installer to install the 32bit versions of 64bit RPMS? i.e. in the way it does for CentOS5. Thanks James Pearson

Folks Is there a way in CENTOS6 to define and turn on wireless from the command line. My environment is as follows: I'm trying to build a laptop for travel, and have KVM-guests for both Linux Gui and Windows, using internal NAT networking. The underlying host machine doesn't really need to be much more than a NAT provider, and the usual command-line utilities. When I arrive at a
