Hi All, I''m trying to write some plugins that should only be sync''d if they''re for a specific platform. For example, in our environment we''re supporting Solaris, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS and Mac OS X. We''ve developed some OS X plugins and some Solaris plugins but we''ve noticed that our Linux hosts have imported our OS X plugins and now throw

Hi All, Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not hundreds of times. If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this with CentOS? -- James A.

I'm trying to find a way to exclude file systems during the autorelabel process. I have a file system (/exports) that has tens of millions of files on it and I *know* I don't want it relabeled. I've tried semanage fcontext -a -t "<<none>>" "/exports(/.*)?" and it seems to insist on relabeling that file system. I also tried to see if there was a

Maybe I missed something, but it appears that the CR repository is not compatible with yum priorities & possibly repository protection. I had priority=1 set on [base] and [updates] and no updates appeared. However, when I removed priority updates from cr became visible. Is this expected? Did I miss this announcement on -devel or such because I searched but couldn't find it. -- James

Hi All, I have a very strange problem that I'm unable to pinpoint at the moment. For some reason I am simply unable to get xfs_quotas to report correctly on a freshly installed, fully patched CentOS 6 box. I have specified all the same options as on another machine which *is* reporting quota LABEL=TEST /exports/TEST xfs inode64,nobarrier,delaylog,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 xfs_quota -xc

I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS. I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below). On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine. However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of

Anyone else seeing this when trying to install httpd? My mirror is completely up to date and the machine is a fresh install of CentOS 5.6 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Base Finished Excluding Packages from CentOS-5 - Updates Finished 7 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up

I'm looking for direction to install and boot CentOS 7 from an iSCSI device. Any experience and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Michael Duvall

Completely off topic, but I'm sure someone out there is using scripts that require a sudo password of some sort, so I'll ask. What are people doing to automate tasks that required sudo passwords in order to run? sudo without a password is not an option for me, but I would like to be able to enter the password once have it saved and then read back when sudo is required. something

Upgraded the kernel to the latest, then tried to rebuild the proprietary Catalyst driver for a Radeon HD 4550 on a Dell Optiplex 980. The install dies, with a c error. Anyone else out there succeed in building one on the 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5-x86_64 kernel? I went to the ATI website, and the "installation instructions" include that it needs a) 32 bit software (which? dunno) and b) a

Hi All, I just enabled nscd to see if I can speed up some operations on our large NFS/NIS environment, however, now that I've enabled nscd I am no longer able to sudo. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Everything was working fine prior to enabling it. -- James A.

I'm poking through Solaris documentation trying to figure out how to make it installable via our PXE server and, as with many things Solaris, I'm hitting walls of completely foreign procedures and setups. Has anyone managed to do this before? I'm trying to set Solaris 11.3 up.

Hi All, I have this very odd issue where after a migration we have some users who have quotas showing 8192.0EB in use, when in reality on disk there is only a couple hundred megabytes. The host in question is a: * CentOS 6.3 host with mostly latest patches (except latest glibc patches) * running in SELinux Enforcing mode (Permissive doesn't seem to help) * all file systems are on Logical

Hello All, I seem to have run into a bug with the new --bridgeslaves=<INTERFACE> option. It would seem that if I tell the bridge device to use a virtual interface (like bond0) rather than a physical interface (em1/em2) that kickstart completely barfs on it. I have provided my network section below which works fine as long as i don't enable all the bridge content. When the
