Hi Guys! Thanks to the whole Centos team for all their hard work. You have no IDEA how much I appreciate it! I ran "yum upgrade" last night, rebooted this morning and encountered a couple of small problems: 1. "shutdown -h now" goes all the way down but does not power down the box like it always has before. Same when shutting down via the GUI shutdown dialog. I can offer up

Hi all! I'm trying to set up autofs on my C7 netbook so I can automount a cifs share (actually two) from my NAS box, and because when I'm not at home I don't want it attempting to mount it. so I've read several howtos on it, including the one on the CentOS Wiki. but what I've got isn't working right, and I don't know why. I'm trying to follow the
