Are there any RPM wizards out there that know how to specify a different architecture for a subpackage in a spec file? I have a package that has a binary component and a non-binary component that I would like split into 2 packages one, the binary which is architecture dependant and the other 'noarch'. I haven't found a spec file that does this yet :-( Ross S. W. Walker

I keep reading that RHEL/CentOS 5 supports blktrace, but I can't seem to find the blktrace/blkparse utilities. Is it that just the functionality is available in the kernel, but the user is left to have to hunt down the latest versions of the utilities on the net? If anybody knows where to get the latest versions of these utilities I would greatly appreciate it. Ross S. W. Walker

Hi, Can someone point me to documents as to how to install Redhat Enterprise AS 4.x Or Centos 4.x similar with a 1 active 3 passive clustering scenario?

Ok, I got blktrace installed, but I also have some blktrace system taps that I want to test out, but it seems I need to have the kernel debug info installed to get systemtap working. Anyone know where the CentOS kernel-debuginfo RPMs are located? Ross S. W.

I have a couple 64-bit CentOS 5 installations here and was wondering if there was a yum option to have it install only x86_64 arch by default if no arch is specified. I tired of having to append .x86_64 on all package names I only want the x86_64 versions of, if I want the i386 versions too I would add the .i386 package to the list... Thanks All, Ross S. W.

I have my NIS user/group files separate from the system user/group files using libuser to manage them and that works well, but I am trying to find a way to get libuser to invoke a 'make' of the NIS maps whenever it updates the master files. Is there a routine I can configure in libuser to do this, or am I stuck having to do it by cron? Ross S. W. Walker Information Systems Manager

I have a new development box at home that I am working on. Currently it has CentOS 5.1 + Xen 3.2 running several domUs. I am using XDMCP on the domUs and an X Chooser on dom0 for connecting to them and it works well, but now I want to be able to get sound from my domUs and I have been struggling. I can get some from network transparent sound by using ESD, but I have no way of controlling the

It would be a handy feature to have idmap_ad implement an alloc routine to write back the uid and gid mappings to AD either as SFU attributes or RFC 2307 attributes. I figure this could allow dynamic uid and gid allocation that can be easily preserved across multiple domains in a Windows environment. Has there been any attempt to provide this feature? Ross S. W.

To all, I was wondering if it was possible to setup samba shares that use subversion as a backing store for the files. Whenever a new file is created it is added to the subversion tree, whenever a file is opened it is checked out of the subversion tree, and whenever it is deleted it is removed from the subversion tree. The idea is that one could use subversion to retain previous versions of

Since I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5 my system which has 2 sets of ALB bonded interfaces hangs on shutdown while doing an ifdown on these interfaces. Has anyone else seen this issue with 4.5 and bonding?

I am inquiring on the list if anybody knows if the latest plus kernel includes the fixes for MD RAID-1 where it didn't pass down the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on cloned bios. This bug was discovered in December by the DRBD project and patches were posted by Lars Ellenberg from that project to the LKM which were then merged into the 2.6.19 kernel. The bug causes severe performance penalties for

Currently I'm running CentOS 4.4 on a Dell Poweredge 850 with an Intel Pro/1000 Quad-port adapter. I seem to be able to only achieve 80% utilization on the adapter, while on the same box running Fedora Core 5 I was able to reach 99% utilization. I am using iSCSI Enterprise Target as my application and I am using the nullio feature, it just discards any write and sends back random data for

OK, I've downloaded and unzipped the firmware files in ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz - so I have 4 files: ipw2200-bss.fw, ipw2200-ibss.fw, ipw2200-sniffer.fw and LICENSE.ipw2200-fw, all of which I've placed in the /lib/firmware directory. Unfortunately, the instructions in README.ipw2200 and INSTALL are not clear as to what to do next. I'm using CentOS 5 on my (Dell) laptop so setting-up wireless

Hello, I am having problems getting freenx running in CentOS 4.5 i386_64. I know this is not a new problem, however, I havn't found a solution in all the postings I found on the web. I did exactly what is supposed to work and described in detail at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/FreeNX After doing that I can connect to the server with nxcleint without problem but I get only a black

Hi all, When using the "vncserver :1" and then "vncviewer :1" to see it so far so good. then when I run a program I get the window outline until I move to the position I want and click - how can I just skip that step and lets say have my new program go full screen (in the vnc window). Is that possible and how? THanks, Jerry

Hello, Not sure where this should go. I've got a CentOS 5 box that i wanted to install munin on. One of it's dependencies is perl-crypt-des and that particular rpm is giving an error of not being signed. I'm hoping this gets to the packager of that rpm. Thanks. Dave.
