Hello, I'm running centos5. I enabled the centosplus repo and i now have two kernels both 2.6.18-8.1.8-el5 but one has a .centosplus on the end of it. I was wondering the differences between these two kernels? Thanks. Dave.

Hello, I'm running centos5 with the centosplus kernel v2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and i'm trying to read a drive that has a ufs2 partition on it. It was originally in a FreeBSD machine and has some data i'd like to get at. Googling indicated this should work with the command: mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 <device> <mountpoint> device is /dev/hdb5 and mountpoint is /mnt.

Hello, Does anyone have the ftape driver working with a centos5 machine, specifically with a 2.6.18-8.18-8.el5 centosplus kernel? I've got a situation where it is needed and haven't been able to find anything related to kernels beyound 2.1 on it, not sure if that's still current, if not i'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Dave.

Hello, I've got a centos5 box that at least has a dependency issue or a corrupt rpm database. I am open to suggestions as to how to proceed. I have added some extra repositories to my yum configuration, centosplus, rpmforge, atrpms, and the kbs repos. I haven't been having issues with installs or upgrades until today when i ran a yum update, and got a missing dependency error for

Hello, Does anyone have a guide for setting up an nfs server for unattended deployment of centos5? Basically what i want to do is boot a system from CD media, pass a boot parameter nfs, and ks= options then walk away, the box goes out to the nfs server, finds the kickstart file, reads, and does it. I've got several machines and i'd rather not do manual installs. Thanks. Dave.

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask this one. I've got a FreeBSD 6.2 machine acting as an nfs server. It's exporting a home directory to several machines. On the server that home directory has a symlink in it to another directory on the filesystem. As long as users are on the server they can view the directory symlinked to, but if viewing through samba, they're

I have a Centos 4 box that has been updated all the way to 4.6 without using the centosplus repository. Now I want to use the centosplus repository for Centos 4 to get the latest LAMP, mod_perl, perl and other perl modules so that I can install rt 3.6.6 and its necessary modules. However, for some reason, the latest perl package in the centosplus repository does not appear on the radar when

Hello, I'm trying to set up centos 5.1 to authenticate against an openldap server. I've got the authentication working, in that i can log in as a user contained within the ldap database but not in the system passwd/group files.

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 6 machine running icecast2 and ices0streaming four different streams of mp3's. Now i have a need to stream the same content as either aac+ or ogg vorbis whichever would be easiest to set up and give the best quality. I want these new streams to handle both broadband and dialup users without sacrificing quality. My problem is i really really do not want to

Hi, I have the x86_64 arch on my server so therfore i expect that yum updates only x86_64 packages. With the last *yum update* i?ve noticed a strange behaviour while retrieving the needed packeges. As you you see, yum wants install packages for different architectures: glibc x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 base 4.9 M glibc i686 2.3.4-2.25 base 5.1 M . .

Hello, I'm setting up a centos5 router for a friend. It will direct traffic to an internal webserver, already in place, as well as run squid proxy. It should do nat and have a firewall with iptables. I've set up routers before for this purpose but always of the bsd type and using their firewalls. I understand the concepts, nat, packet filtering, etc. but i'm not getting

Hello, I've got two streams, one for broadband, one for dialup. Well, having had occation to use a dialup connection recently i checked the dialup stream. Although it was streaming what the broadband stream was, the audio quality was audibly worse. It didn't buffer, but it didn't sound as clear as the broadband stream. I used lame to encode the tracks to mp3 and used it's

Hi, Just a quick note to see if anyone else noted the changes in yum in the updates. I've disabled thhe new format until i can verify if it works? As i rebuilt yumex from Scientific Linux (RHEL SRPM rebuild) and i have not enabled centosplus i don't wanna mess my system. I don't believe you can browse the new mirrors. __________________________________________________ Do You
