similar to: DHCP Client without default gateway

Hi All, I'm wanting to tell my centos box to get a dynamic ip via cli. I know I can do "ifconfig eth0 up", or "ifconfig eth0 191.168.100.35 netmask 255.255.255.0", but, how do I tell it to send the dhcp 0.0.0.0 broadcast to the DHCP server? Cheers. Mark Sargent.

I'm trying to kickstart a Centos 4.1 system with the minimum set of packages. I have no use for ypbind so I'm trying to prevent from being installed, but kickstart/anaconda always insist on its installation (complaining that the package is missing). This is the %packages section of my ks file so far: %packages #-@ dialup kernel grub e2fsprogs lvm2 -slocate -bluez-utils -bluez-bluefw

Hi, To get my system on time, I usually issue these two commands: # ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org # hwclock -w And when I want this to be done on startup, I put the two lines in rc.local. I wonder if this is an orthodox way to do things. Or is there something more appropriate? Niki Kovacs

Initially I computers got their IP addresses and computer names from the DHCP process and the computer were getting the info from the dynamic pool.

I have been asked to update OpenLDAP to the latest stable version. I am using CentOS 4.2 and have OpenLDAP 2.2.13 installed. I can install from source if I have to, but I would rather stay with rpm packages if possible. I found an rpm from Fedora Core Development on RPMFIND. Will this one work with Centos, or should I grab the source rpm and rebuild it? Bowie

I have the latest kernel with the drivers for my 3ware 9550SX built in. Where can I find the tools and monitoring apps for this card? Are there rpms hiding somewhere, or do I need to build it from source? -- Bowie

I went with CentOS today and I couldn't be happier. I'm definitely excited to be part of this community. Now I just have to remember (after years of using the default SuSE install of Java/Ant/Tomcat/Eclipse, etc.) where the best place to put my Java apps is. Preston

I just got a 8Gb flash drive and went to copy a bunch of files onto it. I wanted to perserve everything, so I just took my archiving rsync command and altered it to go to localhost:/media/RALLY2/ (name of flash drive). I am getting errors with changing the group owner. Huh? So I try to just use mkdir to create a directory on the flash drive. The directory has a group of root ??? So I try

Hello Matt, I've had similar misfortunes too with interdomain trusts. I think you're working along the right lines since you seem to want to do the same thing as I. However the NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL is an error I always get when trying to connect to the IPC$ share of the PDC of the trusting domain. In my case the trusting PDC is a Windows 2003 Server. I know it's not an issue

Hi all, I'm setting up Centos4.2 on 2x80GB SATA drives. The partition scheme is like this: /boot = 300MB / = 9.2GB /home = 70GB swap = 500MB The RAID is RAID 1. md0 = 300MB = /boot md1 = 9.2GB = LVM md2 = 70GB = LVM md3 = 500MB = LVM Now, the confusing part is: 1. When creating VolGroup00, should I include all PV (md1, md2, md3)? Then create the LV. 2. When setting up RAID 1, should I

Hi I have 2 machines with RHEL 5.2 and I would like to use CentOS repos. I would like to know if the document "Using CentOS Repositories on RHEL Machines"[1] can be used in CentOS 5.2 without too much modifications. Thanks Marcelo [1] http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/YumOnRHEL

Hi, has the end of life and yum update process changed for Centos? I want to stick with a release, but receive security updates to maintain stability on my critical servers. Last year I remember the plan being that if you picked 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4 you could stick with it and automatically receive yum updates without changing anything. Then when 3.4 came out the Centos readme said if you were on
