repo dates and times
I am trying to get my kickstart "repo" line to function correctly.
repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64/
When I comment the above line my install works, When I uncomment it the
install fails
with a message about dbus package error.

update from local repo mirror
so this may be an odd question, but my google fu seems to be failing me.
I've created a local mirror of centos 5 & 6 with various instructions
across the net, it seems to be functional, syncs on a regular basis,and is
generally usable (I've built machines with kickstart/netboot from it and
they seem generally workable). my difficulty comes up when I try to use
the local mirror for

cloning a server
Hi, I have a centos 5 (current) mail server that I have compiled
dovecot/postfix and installed some packages like mysql etc. These packages
have been configured and changed to my liking. How can I now save all this
and install it on another server without having to do all the work of
compiling installing and configuring the same applications. Is it possible
to burn this server image into multiple

New list ?
Hi,
Taking this to a new thread.
Thoughts on getting a new list started up ? Should it be
centos-sysadmin or centos-infra ? Are we going to then restrict it to
admin/infra related chatter ? in which case, does the eyeball density on
this list reduce for that sort of content ?
How about the politics and news stuff that gets posted to this list.
And how would those things be addressed with

Cyrus IMAP and ipurge
Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge?
We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a
bit paranoid about its functionality.
The main things that confuse me are from the man page:
"Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by
mailbox-pattern"
with no indication as to what defines "mailbox-pattern"

OT: Local Mirror problems, wrong paths to RPMs with yum update
This week I set up a local mirror for a few dists, including Centos 4.0
and 4.2, and Fedora Core 3 and 4. I'm using a script called yum-pull.
For the most part I really like the script, it automates the setup of
your mirrors and tries a bunch of different mirrors when it goes out to
get updates, if it fails on one it tries another. It uses the usual
suspects, createrepo and repoview, among

CentOS 5.2 -- how do I choose a wireless network?
Hi. We have a Windows laptop that has gotten too slow, it's
borderline unusable, so I burned a CentOS 5.2 32-bit Live CD, just to
try it out in the home.
It boots up fine, but it does not connect to the Internet... Now
we normally connect through a wireless network, there are several
around here -- on the Windows box we choose the network to which to
connect... but on CentOS there is

vim helpfile tag issues
Just wondering if anyone can replicate this issue....
On CentOS 5.2, using vim 7.0.237, I'm having a consistent issue across
all my centos boxen.

yum repository and createrepo
I've setup a local yum repository for about 25 workstations and I'm
using rsync from a local mirror. Do I need to create my own XML
headers, i.e. the 'repodata' directory, or since I'm syncing the whole
updates directory can I use the 'repodata' directory from the mirror?
I also have a question on using createrepo. The directory layout is:

Video lock up
I recently install CentOS 5.2 on an older pc
Abit VP6 motherboard
2 x 1GHz PIII processors
1.5GB RAM
Nvidia MX440 video
All works fine except when running X
The display locks at ramdom times
Sometimes it locks when I log in
Sometimes it locks after several hours
While it is locked I can ssh to this machine from another server
I have to reboot to clear it
Also when I reboot X starts with random

~/.forward file?
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,

run without sendmail
I'm running centos on a "limited" environment. Is it ok to turn off
sendmail
and run without it.
Are there issues with doing that or is all Ok.

log time formats - where is this defined
One of my servers is using ISO datetime formats
(2011-02-27T15:22:15.519857-05:00) in the logs
the rest use the default redhat/CentOS format (Feb 27 15:10:21).
After a couple of hours searching google I cannot find where this is
defined.
I know I changed it some months ago as an experiment but forgotten where
this was done.
the ISO format breaks logwatch - thus I need to revert.
TIA

gpg command works fine from login shell, not from cron script
I have an odd situation here, maybe one of you can help.? We have a
script that runs via a cron job.? It's purpose is to decrypt
PGP-encrypted files in a certain directory.? I have tried the command
two different ways, both fail with the same error message:
gpg --decrypt $file > ${file%.txt}.decrypted.txt

Create Local CentOS 5.1 repo
I am trying to create a local base repo from the DVD on a webserver as I am not able to install with the x64 DVD. I have done this before I recall by placing the DVD contents in the root of an empty webserver, but I have many existing repo's on this current server and so I wanted to maintain the existing hierarchy structure.
I tried using the createrepo command and neither that nor copying

yum update fails for 5.6
google for "centos error performing checksum" refers to createrepo but of
course "yum install createrepo" also fails and the instructions appear to be
overkill. Is there a "simple" soultion?

My belief is that this is not possible, but there are many extremely

know if it is in fact possible. I am running CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) fully

Jigdo, etc...
Hi folks,
I've just finished rsyncing/downloading/jigdoizing the entire i386/x86_64
CentOS 4.2 distribution.
If anyone is interested go to

You'll need to edit the .jigdo file by hand to change the server section
