similar to: when is the o.s. considered to be at a certain minor version? Or, is it safe to apply only certain package updates from the next release version?

I'm pretty new to the task of upgrading CentOS or RedHat o.s.'s. I'm more familiar with upgrading Debian based o.s.'s. Here are my questions: 1) will yum ever upgrade the major version? I understand that there is no upgrade path from v5.x to v6.x, but is that always the case? e.g. was there an upgrade path from v4.x -> v5.x? If yum is capable of doing so, what are the

Hello all again, Has anyone any idea how to get the latest dovecot version for CentOS 5.8 or 6.2 32-bit OS ? I did a quick search and found out that the official version of dovecot for CentOS v5.8 is 1.0.2 (!!). Any repos ? Any ideas :-) ?

I can't get IPv6 routing to configure correctly despite everything I've read saying it should This is my network config on a fully-updated CentOS 5.8 system: # cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=my.hostname.com GATEWAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a02:aaaa.bbbb::1 IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0 # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

OS: SLES 9 Samba Version: 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE Server is running in test mode, as a PDC I find this message in my log files quite frequently, the majority coming from one particluar machine (XP SP2): [2006/05/19 10:35:06, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_pipe_bind_req(981) Attempt to bind using schannel without successful serverauth2 [2006/05/19 10:40:16, 0]

I''m getting complaints from one of my customers that characters in their text are getting mangled. This happens when they paste data into my textboxes in rails from MS word in particluar. Quotes are turning into question marks, etc. Anyone have a fix / workaround for this? -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

I started with one dc, 'dc1', running samba v4.0.21, in subnet1. I successfully added two more dc's, 'dc2' and 'dc3', both running samba v4.0.24, both in subnet2. There are several firewalls between subnets 1 & 2. I continued to make firewall holes on behalf of msad after I added dc's 2 & 3. I.e. when they were added, there were patterns of communication

A call to drm_simple_encoder_init() initializes an encoder without further functionality. It only provides the destroy callback to cleanup the encoder's state. Only few drivers implement more sophisticated encoders than that. Most drivers implement such a simple encoder and can use drm_simple_encoder_init() instead. The patchset converts drivers where the encoder's instance is embedded in

There is an instance of Ms.Active Directory that has had the 'Services For Unix' applied. I use winbind v3.0.24 to get user/group info from that Ms.Active directory instance like so: -------- begin smb.conf snippet: ------------ security = ADS realm = mydomain.com workgroup = MYDOMAIN winbind enum groups = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind nested groups = yes winbind nss info = sfu

I'm using winbind v3.0.22 on Debian Linux as a source for nss info. I have a group that was once known by winbind, but is no more: ------ beging shell except ------ # ls -ld ./ drwxrws--- 10 root $MND000-TT227MV5K24I 4096 2006-05-10 15:41 ./ # ------ end shell except ------ It must have been known, as I was the one who chgrp'ed the dir originally. I know what the group name is

I'm trying to demote dc3 from msad dc service. As the root user, I type this command: samba-tool domain demote -Uadministrator which fails with this error: "Using dc2.infinity.local as partner server for the demotion" The problem is that dc2 was demoted some weeks ago, and is no longer running samba4. Is there a way I can force dc3 to use a different dc as the

with samba 3.0.22, I'm trying to integrate a linux box with Microsoft AD by using winbind for authentication as well as for the source of nss info. When winbind is configured to use its own local id maps, everything works fine. But when i configure winbind to use 'ad' as the source of nss info, authentication fails, 'getent' commands return no results, and 'wbinfo -r

Hi Jonathan, Yep, samba sends the domain name as well as the username to the domain controller, and what I think happens is the NT controller sees that the domainname passed is NOT his domain, checks his list of trusted domains, doesn't find it, and says sayonara buddy... I am assuming that 'SATURN' is the netbios name of the win2k client machine? I'm not real clear on how this

Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback the system to its original state. What is the best way to do that? Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed versions. I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I can no longer

struct vring (in the uapi directory) and supporting APIs are kept around to solely avoid breaking old userspace builds. It's not actually part of the UAPI - it was kept in the UAPI header by mistake, and using it in kernel isn't necessary and prevents us from making changes safely. In particular, the APIs actually assume the legacy layout. Add an internal kernel-only struct vring, add

I installed CentOS 6.0 on 2 different x86_64 boxen. Both originally had selinux installed and enabled. I never touched selinux other than to remove as much of it as I could via rpm -e. As far as I can tell, here are the remaining packages that have something to do with it: # rpm -qa | grep -iE 'sel|pol' checkpolicy-2.0.22-1.el6.x86_64 libselinux-2.0.94-2.el6.x86_64

Hello, I am trying to build the R-2.11.1 software for university faculty to use in research projects on a DEC/Compaq/HP AlphaServer model GS160 16CPU/64GB memory running Tru64Unix aka OSF1 version 5.1B-5. Is it known whether it is possible to build the R-2.11.1 software on the platform I am using? In my attempts to build the R-2.11.1 software, I first used the native C and Fortran 77/90/95
