Hello all, In the network there is already a W2K server serving as DHCP server for the network. Then we want to implement LTSP, so we need to setup another DHCP server, right?

Can we then have 2 DHCP server in the same subnet, only serving pre-determine clients

Hi all, I'm trying to use an old MO drive in Centos5.0. It's connected to an adaptec scsi card. From dmesg, the card seems to be recognized, but it doesn't "create" the sda device from the MO drive.

Hi all, When we create a custom chain in iptables, should we specifically create a rule to 'jump back' to the previous chain? For example: iptables -A INPUT -j CUSTOMCHAIN iptables -A CUSTOMCHAIN rule1 iptables -A CUSTOMCHAIN rule2 Should we add: iptables -A CUSTOMCHAIN -j INPUT ? Or, it will automatically go back to CHAIN when there's no more rule? Thank you very much, -- Fajar

But the result is different than of listed in Centos website. Should it the same? Or we simply cannot compare sha1sum from burned DVD to that of 'unburned' iso file? Thanks. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux

CentOS 5 updated, Xen host. The portmap on this machine is somehow "stuck" and I can't figure out why. I enabled it to be able to mount a remote nfs share. The first hurdle was that "portmap" didn't appear in the chkconfig list, it was installed with the initial packages but not added to chkconfig. Took me a while to figure this out. Adding and starting it up is no
