Hi, This is semi-OT, but is Centos-related. I'm looking for an IPTables GUI to help us with our expanding network configuration. I know there's plenty out there, but most of them seem to manage the firewall on the computer on which they run, or only handle one firewall at a time. I need one that can easily manage multiple firewalls from some sort of central location/repository, i.e.

Hi, I've got a Centos 5 box (recently replaced a Centos4 box of the same function). The means of applying custom SELinux policy has changed somewhat from 4->5. I've got it mostly figured out; I have a local.te file with my custom policy and also which defines a few new file types, and a local.fc with appropriate defintions of file contexts. When I run: # checkmodule -M -m -o

Hi, I recently took delivery of a bunch of HP BL25p blades to add to my collection. I am attempting to install Centos4 x86_64 using PXE - the initial PXE DHCP stuff works, and the kernel and initrd are downloaded, but the server then immediately clears the screen and displays: "1706-Smart Array Controller Extended BIOS Data Area Memory Corrupted Array Controller Interrupt 14h BIOS Cannot

Oops, I just missed the python part. Does mod_python have similar options? Or how to stop other users to run python scripts in some directories?

Hi all, Recently, after doing some maintenance on one of my servers (Centos 5), I rebooted. On reboot, it didn't find the SAN disks at all, and after some poking around in maintenance mode, I discovered that it couldn't find the Qlogic module. It turns out that /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/modules.alias, modules.dep and such were all empty or just had their header comment lines.

This is very OT. If list readers can point me in the right direction, to other mailing lists, or web sites for recommended databases, that will be much appreciated! My wife's doctor wants to move records, for approximately 6000 patients (over a 12 year period), from paper (18th century) to a database (20th century). The data entry will be a PITA, for his secretaries, regardless of what

When I log into a virtual console as ordinary user, I initially have a prompt & cursor. After I print 24 lines or more, the last visible (24th) line will be data instead of the prompt & cursor. The up arrow no longer gives the previous commands. A clear command will restore the prompt & cursor. This bug first appeared after I installed CentOS5. I do not believe it is a CentOS5

Hi, when I run a nmap localhost I see that port 199 is open for the smux service but when I check the services gui in runlevel 3 or 5 I don't find it. It's also not in /etc/init.d/ At the moment almost everything is inactive except for some well known services like httpd crond etc. but mux is still there. Does anyone know how to colse this service? regards, ivago -------------- next

How many people use LVM's in their production servers? Are they reliable for use in these sorts of systems? I am asking this because i was reading the LVM Howto about upgrading discs etc. Regards, Peter

Hi, I have a HP DL 585 server with Quad Opteron processors and 32 Gbytes of RAM. I would like to know whether CentOS 3.5 x86_64 will recognize all 4 CPUs and 32 Gbytes of RAM. I will also running EDA tools like PriteTime, and Magma on this server. Does CentOS has any issues with these tools? your help on this question is appreciated.

Hello, Is that possible to disable running of PHP on certain directories? I am running a server which provides personal homepage service. However, not every user are familiar with security, some may upload some PHP scripts with bugs/holes. I do not want them to be executed on the server. I can enable the safe_mode, but I have some other PHP scripts which need safe_mode to be disabled. Any

Greets Anyone on the list using newer HP G4 or G5 server hardware like DL36X or DL38X with Centos? Or other HP hardware? Are you running Intel, AMD, or both? Are you using SAS or SATA or a mix? Are you using Centos 3, CentOS 4, or starting migration to CentOS 5 Are things rock solid stable without any issues? I know older Compaq and HP boxen have been rock solid for us for years yet we

Hi! I have a really weird problem with some of my servers, namely all the ones running Centos5 When I try to download a file from the server to a machine outside our Cisco 6500 router/firewall, the download hangs about half the times (15 out of 40) when less than half a megabyte into the transfer (varied from 76 kb to 496 kb). One server has a portchannel (Cisco speak for ethernet bundle),

This is a public thank you, to whoever wrote the Wiki's for adding 3rd party repositories, ProtectBase and Priorities. Clear, excellent, step by step instructions. I did this late last night and I missed the thing that Priorities is the recommended plugin, so I will change to that, from ProtectBase. :-) Lanny

I don't know the correct way to get this into the system, so I'm posting here. On this page: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities a line begins: Some packages specify obsoletes in their metadata. This property of a packages that should be "This property of a package" not packages, singular. An incredibly minor error, on an extremely helpful Wiki page. Lanny

Could anyone recommend some good resources I might go to for making an RPM? (Ultimately, I'd like to make a dpkg. I hear alien is a good way to do that, but am open to any other ways of doing so.)

Is there an RPM for this? I think it's in the kdeedu package on the FC6 DVD. My wife is an amateur astronomer and she uses this excellent program. If upstream isn't including it, can I get it and not break my CentOS 4.4 system? (Also, I'd like to migrate her and my daughter to CentOS). TIA, Lanny
