kickstart ks.cfg file on USB devices
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

Possible bug in kickstart
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.

C6: kickstart problems with additional repo
Hi,
I'm kickstarting a vm in ESXi 5.1.
ks.cfg is on floppy, install media is ISO file.
This works great as long as I don't add an additional repo, in our case
it is vmware tools on one of our webservers.
If I add the repo line, anaconda asks then for the used network card and
indeed, switching to console the interfaces are still unconfigured.

Help with authenticating against Active Directory.
Hello all,
I'm trying to authenticate shell login's against an MS-ADS. I don't
have admin access to the ADS, but I can talk to the admins.
I have gotten as far as getting authentication working, but the uid's
depend on the order of login. ie: the first guy to login gets 10000,
the next gets 10001, etc. The problem I have with this is that I want

Capturing Packets -- Ethereal
This may be off topic, but I think my ethereal question might be simple enough.
I am presently compiling ethereal on a CentOS platform to check it out.
But the packets I want to monitor are actually on a different CentOS platform, and I'd rather not install Ethereal on it, if for no other reason I don't have X-Windows installed on that platform.
My question is, can I monitor/write

procmailrc
I have one box, a 3.x box, that has a problem finding procmailrc files.
For instance, if I have a .procmailrc file in
/var/www/user/homes/username it finds it and it works.
If I have a .procmailrc file under /var/www/user it doesn't.
Where the heck is the setting for where procmail looks for user
procmailrc files?

sendmail: fatal message, sudo bash
Centos 5
Hello
I successfully converted my mta from sendmail to postfix.
no problem. mail is ok.
A by-product of that, as bizarre as it may seem is this:
As regular user, when I do 'su -' to become root, all is well.
As regular user, when I do 'sudo bash' I become root
alright but I also get:

syslog question
I have a 64bit centos 5.2 system. My router supports sending logs to a
syslog server, so I was hoping to send them to my centos box so they are
easier to keep an eye on.
I've been googling for howto's etc, but I didn't think syslog would be
that difficult. Do I need to use syslog-ng or can I use the syslog
that's installed with centos 5.2?
Any suggestions or guidance?
Thanks,

How to detect whether running on VMware?
Does anyone know how a program, script or shell user can best determine
whether the machine is running on bare metal or is a VMware guest?

MS Exchange to CentOs (multiuser)
Is there a way to get mail from a MS Exchange server that is addressed
as user at host.domain.com rather than the user at domain.com so that users on
host.domain.com can read their mail on that host (CentOS). (I'm
assuming that Exchange needs to know about host.domain.com, somehow.)

Ethernet over USB
Hi,
Is it true you can run Ethernet over USB between 2 machines?
I have 2 machines running CentOS 5.0 and a simple type A male to A male
cable. I don't see in the network setup gui how to set it up. Is there a
particular device I should select? What I see relating to USB is:
KL4USB101 USB Ethernet driver
Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver

No Network = slow ??
I lost my internet connection earlier today.
My home network was still up - it's just the router couldn't get an IP
from the cable modem.
During that period, my CentOS 5.1 install was extremely slow (2.6 GHz
Athlon w/ 2GB ram) at starting non network applications - such as
solitare and gnome terminal. It would pause for several seconds before
finally starting them.

iSCSI root on Dom0
I am getting the following error on boot on a new install Centos 51:

I have traced it to the call ''switchroot'' in the init script in the initrd.
the exact same build without zen has no problems.
the boot messages look like:

Headless operations
Hi Folks,
I'm interested in "headless" installation. If I use GRUB, then I provide
arguments to the kernel of things like "headless vnc vncpassword=whoopie
ip=dhcp" GRUB passes this on to ISOLinux, which manages the CD and
subsequently the installation.
Shouldn't I be able to do exactly the same thing with EXTLinux? I ask,
because, as you might suspect, I
