Is there a program on CentOS which will sort my passwd/group etc. files by username or uid/gid? On Suse I can do this with a sysconfig switch and Suseconfig, is there something similar on RH-based systems?

With the upgrade to 5.1 I get new behavior when I "open" the console from vm manager. Before 5.1 it showed the console login message like on a physical machine. However, with 5.1 I get a window that wants a password and has a checkbox "save the password in your keyring". What password? No matter, what I enter there the window just hangs and when I try to close it I get a

This is my first major version update after using a local repo. It seems that before I can "yum update" I have to fetch the complete new 5.2 base? Is this correct? When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files that

My update to 5.2 fails on one machine because of this error: Transaction Check Error: file /etc/init.d from install of chkconfig-1.3.30.1-2 conflicts with file from package AcronisAgentLinux-9.5.8076-1 file /etc/init.d from install of chkconfig-1.3.30.1-2 conflicts with file from package TrueImageAgent-9.5.8076-1 Obviously, both packages created (completely unnecessarily) the /etc/init.d

Using CentOS 5.1 with Xen 3.2. I'm trying to install a fully virtualized system for the first time and doing this with an old Suse 9.0 (this probably would run paravirtualized, maybe it won't run, anyway, because of hardware problems). I start with virt-manager and after choosing "fully virtualized" it presents me two options for install media: iso image and CD-ROM or DVD,

I converted a physical maschine running CentOS 4.6 to a Xen VM on a CentOS 5 host. Almost everything was running when I decided to rsync /lib and /usr a while later in order to get updated files and get the one or two non-working programs to work. There are differences because of the xenU kernel I didn't think about. I forgot to exclude rpm database and /lib/modules. Because the synced

I have a local mirror of CentOS5 base and updates. Now with 5 having become 5.1 and in case I just want to keep on updating (at the moment) is it enough that I update the mirror of updates or do I also need an update of the base repo?

The new virtual machine manager in Centos 5.1 displays some weird behavior here and I assume it's because the UUID of one running VM is the same as of a VM that is shut down. I used the same config file template for creating all my test VMs, so several have the same UUID. Didn't produce any problems with xm. But the new VM manager in Gnome shows active and inactive VMs and identifies

I took over a custom firewall script from my older Suse machines to my Dom-Us and it works just fine. Doing the same for Dom-0 immediately killed all traffic for the VMs. As there was no need before I had been dropping everything on the FORWARD chain. After ACCEPTing all for FORWARD my VMs are happy again. What's best practice on Dom-0, what do you do? Can I restrict the forwarding, in

The installed php on CentOS/RHEL is the CGI version. This means I should be able to get command line arguments with $GLOBALS[''argv''] or $_SERVER[''argv'']. That''s how the php documentation tells and how it works f.i. on Suse. However, on CentOS I get them only when I use the -n switch to php (no php.ini). The problem with -n is that php cannot find

What does the plus sign after the blocks value exactly mean in the fdisk output? Some research reveals that it indicates that not all the blocks are included in the fdisk value.

All of a sudden yum hangs on a Centos 4.5 (updated to the latest patch before 4.6) when I try to use it. "clean metadata" didn't help. The output of -d5 shows it gets to the point of "Reading Local RPMDB" and then sits there. The process doesn't die, but doesn't seem to do anything from that point on. strace shows this: futex(0xb76dcae8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I

I want to install CentOS 5.1 with hardware RAID on an HP DL140 G3 server that I have here for testing. It prompts me for a storage controller.

I usually don't setup any GUI on my Linux systems. Yesterday I installed with X and Gnome on a spare system for some testing and hit a problem. Right after login the system freezes. The system froze already earlier when I opted to test the sound card on the Welcome screen and when I login with the alternative login choice xterm and shut down it freezes when "saving mixer

Is anyone using successfully a specific rpm of Dovecot 1.0.something? There's nothing on dag and a few on rpmfind (for Fedora Core), but I don't know if they'd work. The one coming with Centos 4 (0.99.11) has quite a few bugs and I'd like to put an upgrade on top of it.

What's the correct syntax for something like the following: yum check-update --disablerepo=dag ivazquez Extras Misc this runs "dead" and doesn't do a check-update. Use kommas?
