I'm looking for an open source router solution, and someone from the list recently recommended zebra (www.zebra.org). I haven't yet identified all my needs, but I'm guessing that it will do all my routing needs for a, say, class C set of IP addresses, particularly if I ever have to do anything BGP-related. Anyone have any pointers before I delve in? Or possibly a recommendation for

I'm on a fairly old RHEL box, when I "cat /proc/version", I get the following: Linux version 2.4.21-4.ELsmp (bhcompile at daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)) At this stage, I guess I don't have 'yum', so where exactly do I get the individual RPMs? I went to DAG to find some stuff I needed, but some of the rpms at

Someone told me that if you have a CentOS or Fedora server, you can pay a Red Hat yearly fee and get them to support it (because the environments are so similar). Can anyone here substantiate this claim? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The free DHCP solution, ISC, seems to be having scaling issues (i.e. handling only about 200 DHCPDISCOVER and 20 DHCPRENEW requests), and I was wondering if anyone had any open source suggestions of solutions that could scale much better? (Ideally, I could find a free version of a solution like Nominum, but I know that's asking for much.) Anyone have any suggestions? -- Also on LinkedIn??

I have two serial-related questions (1) What is the CentOS (or *nix) equivalent of Hyperterminal in Windows? Sometimes I'm on a CentOS box and need to, say, console into a Cisco or something. and (2) I have a CentOS server that I may need to transport somewhere and will most likely *not* want to carry around the monitor. Where should I look in connecting to my server via a serial

I'd like to make a CentOS-based VMware server. Anything I should consider before doing so? (e.g. stuff to disable, kernel tweaks, etc)

I recently installed VMware on CentOS 4.4 (using the single server CD). I installed VMware fine, and then installed the VMware-mui tools that allow me to use a Windows box to console to the server. From my Windows box, I can create VMs on the fly just fine. Interestingly, I can create virtual Debian boxes ok, but I can't create virtual CentOS boxes. What might I be missing? As soon as I

I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my Nagios install wasn't working on CentOS 4.5 (I'm used to Debian), and so I disabled SELinux and everything magically started working. Is this a good long term idea? Or is there a better way of doing things? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

My apologies if this question has been previously answered, but could anyone here provide me with resources that I might use to help build a case for exclusively using CentOS in an enterprise environment? (Approximately 200 servers) Long story short, I've used a little of everything out there (Gentoo/Debian/*BSD/Slackware) and have a fairly good overall strategy of how they all work (all of

I am not sure how to modify the config.h script for my CentOS 4.5 box (running Nagios + NDOutils). NDOutils seem to compile fine (./configure && make), but I'm having problems when I try to run the final command in the README file. ********* problems *************************** ndo2db-2x -c /etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg Support for the specified database server is either not yet

I am trying to trying to "./configure" NDOutils on a CentOS 4.4 box with a minimal install, but it gives me the following error, which I assume means I need something gcc-related? *********************./configure output ******************** ************************************************************** checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking build system

On CentOS-based VM appliance I'm building, I would like to create a script that runs upon login that asks the user a series of questions that does (among other things) ask them to input their networking information (IP, mask, gate, DNS, etc). I'm hoping you guys might point me in the right direction. Here are some of the specific things I'm looking to accomplish with such a script.
