Hi All We want to install packages like xfig and transfig on centos 5.5. We found rpms available but them but it seems there are lot of dependencies for these packages. So we would like to setup yum repo for this. Can anyone suggest trusted baseurl for yum repo? Regards Hersh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi all, I just upgraded more servers, and doing some tests I found that my setup for kerberos/ldap authentication against Active Directory is no more working. I don't know why... I followed some times ago scott Lowe blog for this setup : http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/01/15/linux-ad-integration-version-4/ And it was working correctly until the upgrade. What is curious is that id command

Hi there, I know it's in the supplementary channel and there is no srpm to rebuild windows drivers. But are these drivers anywhere available so that I can use them without a rhn subscription? Thx Rainer

Hello, after updating to Cents 5.6 and so to kvm-83-224 my KVM virtual machines qemu qcow2 based images do not start anymore. Looking at VM console the error message is that VM media is not bootable. Going back to previous KVM version kvm-83-164 from Centos 5.5 they works again. What's wrong with qemu images ? anyone has an idea on how to fix the problem ? thanks Rick

Hi, this is the first time I install linux on a dell server. Simply I booted from a centos 5.5 x64 dvd but I cant see the disks.. is there something I miss ? thanks very much for any help luigi

Can anyone point me to a tutorial on using Active Directory to authenticate a centos 6 server? I just want to use it to authenticate, ssh and restrict access to a particular ad group. I prefer to use the lightest method possible. I know you can use ldap, or winbind, etc. I have been trying to follow the ones I have been googling, but none of them seem "quit complete. My issue is that I have

A while ago I got great instructions from Pasi for migrating standalone systems to *xen*. However, now I have decided to use KVM instead, which raises a new question: How to migrate a standalone system to *KVM*? I know a two-step way to do it: standalone system -> xen pv guest xen pv guest -> KVM pv guest I read that xen -> KVM migration is trivially easy. But is there an easier

Good m/d/n guys, wanted to put idea through you before trying to implement this. So afaik LVM snapshots basically don't take any "real" space on hard drives. I'm using KVM virtualization on my hosts and let's say i create an LVM volume for my linux VM, then install it properly, shut it down and take LVM snapshot of it. Basically i've just cloned it (LVM2 snapshots are

I'm trying to rsync a 8TB data folder containing squillions of small files and it's taking forever (i.e. weeks) to get anywhere. I'm assuming the slow bit is check-summing everything with a single CPU (even though it's on a 12-core server ;-( ) Is it possible to do something simple like scp the whole dir in one go so they're duplicates in the first instance, then get rsync to

Hi, I'm looking a wiki or share experience for replace NIS authentication by an existing Active directory Server (W2003). The problem is on the management of id and gid. How to move 1000 actual NIS users to AD ? How to keep the same id and gid for this 1000 users ? What's happen with nfs linux server and acess with gid and/id ? Use the same user/password for linux and Windows clients

Hello Everyone, I recently installed CentOS 5.5 x86_64 on a brand new ProLiant DL380 G7. I have identical OS software running reock-solid on two other DL380 ProLiant servers, but they are G6 models, not G7. On the G7, the installation went perfectly and the machine ran great for about 2 weeks, when it just seemed to "stop". The system stopped responding on the network, and there was

I'm new to running VMs, so I'm hoping this hasn't been a problem question asked before. I've only glazed over the emails from this list since I've joined due to not really needing all of the great information if provides. Eric suggested I wait for Centos 6 to start loading my new VM host, and so I grabbed the RH Virtualization PDF and started digging in. Firstly, it

We have a 10Gbps connection to our server so I need to be able to create VMs using the faster e1000 nics instead of the default Realtek 100Mbps ones but I''m not sure how to go about it. Is there a walkthrough or "howto" or can someone point me at some simple instructions? I''m using xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 and Centos 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plusxen VMs are

Hi all, I'm just poking thru our previous sysadmin's user adding script and saw reference to a ~/.forward file containing the users email address. Any idea what it might be for? It's a tricky one to Google ;-) Thanx, Russell Smithies ? ======================================================================= Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from

I've just setup nic bonding on our server (DL585-G7 running Centos 5.5 x86_64) as detailed on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BondingInterfaces and all seems fine but from other "howto's" I've seen on the web, they're should be a /proc/net/bond0/info As far as I can see, I don't have one and I'm not sure if it should be there or its absence is a

I have a new server with multiple nics running Centos 6.2 and I'd like to force all NFS traffic over one nic. We're using FreeNAS to dish out NFS shares and I have different IPs on my 2 nics but how can I get the server to mount the share over one particular nic? Or is there a better way to do it? Thanx, Russell Smithies

I've got xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 running on Centos 5.5 and all is running smooth but I notice that any VMs running under it only have access to Realtek RTL8139C at 100 Mbps nics. We have 4 x 1G nics configured in a port channel so I'd really like to be able to give my VMs 1000Mbps nics. Does anyone know if this is possible and how to do it? If not, does KVM support faster nics because at

I have nic bonding (mode=802.3ad) setup on 2 servers, both running Centos 5.5 In the "Active Aggregator Info", on one reports 4 ports - which is correct - but the other only reports 3 ports. It''s always eth0 that shows a different aggregator ID. Changing the cables around so it hits a different port on the switch makes no difference. The switch is correctly configured for the
