I am looking at options for VPN connections from iPhones and iPod Touches to CentOS systems. We use OpenVPN for connections with Windows, Mac OS X, and other Linux systems, but there don't appear to be any OpenVPN clients for iPhones (presumably because there are no tun/tap interfaces available yet). My experiences getting IPsec running on CentOS systems with OpenVPN have not been pretty.

Is there a way to have rsync not treat files that have gone missing (e.g. Maildir messages that have been removed) as errors while indicating I/O errors and such?

I am attempting to create a simple line chart graphing three columns from a soffice-calc spreadsheet. I expect it to take the leftmost column as the X-Axis, plotting the others on the Y-Axis, but it always creates an X-Axis of the row number in the columns, and the first column amongst the data. I have tried this on OpenOffice.org 3.2.0, NeoOffice(R) 3.0.2 Patch 2, iWork Pages, and Excel 12.2.4

I have to say that I was more that a bit surprised, if not to say dismayed when I booted a system with CentOS 5 installed to test a kickstart CD in interactive mode, took it to the custom partitioning screen, then rebooted without saving anything only to come up with a grub prompt, and the disk's partition table wiped. The ks.cfg file did say to wipe the disk when installing, but I would

Is there any reason why /etc/hosts would be missing the line, 127.0.0.1 localhost? I just spent an hour trying to figure out why I could not connect to postgresql using ``psql -h ...'', finally figuring out that the /etc/hosts file was the problem.

I built a new server about 10 days ago running CentOS 5.latest, and it's been presenting a message shortly after booting: irq 58: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff800bb712>] __report_bad_irq+0x30/0x7d [<ffffffff800bb945>] note_interrupt+0x1e6/0x227 [<ffffffff800bae41>] __do_IRQ+0xbd/0x103

Looking at the SRPM kvm-83-249.el5.centos.5, and the SRPM for qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6.src.rpm on CentOS 6.2, I see many patches to remove SCSI support. The 5.2 kvm.spec file disables scsi in the configure run. Why has this been disabled? Many old OS's don't grok SATA, but have had SCSI support for years.

Can somebody point me to a HowTO or other documentation describing the tools available under the CentOS 5 KVM package to create and manage a Windows 7 Pro VM?

Any comments on CentOS 5 on Intel Atom CPUs? I need to build a couple of inexpensive systems that will be used primarily as gateway/firewall systems with OpenVPN, and need recommendations in reliable hardware platforms. These will need two NICs. Bill -- INTERNET: bill at celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E. Mercer Way Voice:

I have 2 similar servers. Since upgrading one from CentOS 5.5 to 6, disk write performance in kvm guest VMs is much worse. There are many, many posts about optimising kvm, many mentioning disk performance in CentOS 5 vs 6. I've tried various changes to speed up write performance, but northing's made a significant difference so far: - Install virtio disk drivers in guest - update the

I'm trying to get the Syspro/Encore MRP software running on a new CentOS 5 x86_64 system which uses an ODBC package built with old glibc/errno libraries. I have this same software running on a Suse Linux Enterprise 9 SP3 system using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1, but when I try this on CentOS 5 it results in many unidentified libraries including libc.so.6, librt... etc. My guess is that there are

I am looking for documentation on handling snapshots. The main tasks are: 1. Create a snapshot 2. Roll back a snapshot 3. Merge the snapshot into the base to start the cycle over. Currently I've done steps 1 and 2 into a single qcow2 image. I'm running a relatively old version of libvirtd on CentOS 5, libvirt-0.8.2-29.el5_9.1. Thanks. Bill -- INTERNET: bill at

Is there an easy way to specify the proper device location for the kickstart configuration file if it is on a USB flash or USB floppy drive? Depending on the hard disk configuration they might by /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. On SuSE'autoyast instalattions, the system searches all available devices for an ``info'' configuration file. Does CentOS 5.x do something similar to find a

Looking at the documentation of the /etc/group file including some google searches, it appears to me that, contrary to the man pages for group, Linux systems generally do not put membership user names for the user's primary group in the record for it in the /etc/group file, only for secondary groups. FreeBSD seems to do the same thing while SCO OpenServer has full entries for the primary

We're using Synology boxes with good results so far. They're built on Linux with ssh access and good support for things like rsync. They have options to backup to remote servers including Amazon too.
