Hi, I'm working on a RHSA tracking tool, named Sarah. It allows you to build a local RHSA database of different RHEL releases and then allows you to verify systems for compliance (and lists applicable RHSA and required packages). But before releasing my prototype, I would like to know what requirements people have. How they would be using such a tool and what for reports they need to

Hi, I had the following problem today. Because of a misconfigured network switch one system suddenly didn't have any network. After a reboot (with the network still unavailable) NTPD refused to start. Most likely because the initial ntpdate failed to work. I find this troubling, because when the network was restored, NTPD could have resumed working (like I'd expect from a true

Hi, Does anyone have experience using IPSEC on CentOS in order to connect to vendor IPSEC-based VPN products (specifically Checkpoint FW1) ? Is the included IPSEC implementation sufficient, or do people have to rely on OpenSWAN or FreeSWAN ? I'd be testing tomorrow and I'm interested with experiences others have had and things to look out for. Thanks in advance, -- dag wieers, dag

Every post I do to this mailinglist is followed by a bounce message from "centos.5.warren at recursor.net". I have no clue why this is being send to me, afaics some IP address is being blacklisted but I am not related to it. Am I the only one who gets this and can we remove this person from the mailinglist ? Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/

Wayne, others, Using the same version on server and client, I still got this error. This was still based on last night's CVS (HEAD-20050314-1745GMT) and I am certain both side's versions are identical. :) ... source/sudosh-1.4.7-1.rf.src.rpm 98373 100% 536.69kB/s 0:00:00 (798, 99.9% of 244497) Invalid packet at end of run [sender] rsync error: protocol incompatibility

Hi, I'm looking for a tool that breaks a working system (in one or more ways) with the sole purpose to fix it again. The aim would be to use this tool for several debugging techniques sessions in our local LUG. When I was invited to speak at a local LUG I was wondering what was the best way to demonstrate some of the tools (and more importantly) the way to tackle a problem. And nothing

Hi, Question number 3 :) I'd like to do something like this: display text.msg append text kssendmac ksdevice=eth1 ks=http://1.2.3.4/footprint/ default localboot label localboot localboot 0x80 label system?5 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.5 netmask=255.255.255.192 gateway=1.2.3.1 label system6 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.6

With the latest message I send to the CentOS list I got this strange 'probe' message. The included bounce example has nothing to do with my email-adres, but rather with someone subscribed to the list. So it seems that somehow the mailinglist manager is sending bounces to the wrong email-adres. Or I do not understand the 'probe' message (and the included bounce message) at all.

Hi, Sorry for cross-posting but I need to tap into my most helpful mailinglists for this problem. I have had assertion failed errors from make before and never understood what they were or where they came from. But now that I have them consistently for ffmpeg and mplayer on everything smaller than FC2, which prevents me from updating both mplayer and ffmpeg (and I know lots of other

Hi, I need yum-arch on RHEL4, yum does not come with RHEL4 so I took the CentOS package, but this one requires a yumconf package (satisfied by centos-yumconf) which I thought was pretty strange. Why does one require a yumconf package uberhaupt ? Why are we limiting a generally useful package to CentOS (or a system that provides yumconf) ? I know you can fix it in several ways, but I'm

Hi Wayne, Jeff, With the same version/build as the last report, I got this error now: ... extra/state/all-packages.list 1458888 100% 46.83kB/s 0:00:30 (634, 0.0% of 201605) WARNING: fedora/1/en/i386/base/pkglist.dag.bz2 failed verification -- update put into partial-dir (will try again). unexpected tag -111 rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at

Hi, Trying to simplify the postfix/dovecot/saslauthd setup with less than 10 users, I was looking for some way to NOT duplicate the username/password setup. Currently I need to use a seperate file for dovecot as I do for saslauthd. (One is a simple shadow-alike file, the other the sasldb) I know that postfix 2.3 can use dovecot directly for sasl authentication, and that would be a neat

Hi, I think the time (150 messages and counting) has come to ask someone of the CentOS team to start moderating this list. I don't mind people discussing whatever topic they like, but not at the expense of the mailinglist and its members. I don't think the topic really doesn't matter in these discussions, and if done in private they would stand for long anyway. I would propose

Hi, On my x86_64 system I have a SiL311x controller that can do RAID. If I configure my 2 identical disks in a RAID1 setup, I would expect to see only 1 block device on Linux. Still I see 2 block devices. Is this intentional, and if so, isn't that dangerous ? (i.e. writing to both disks at the same time) Anyone with an insight, please explain :) -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com,

I should change this to OT, as it's not really CentOS related. I had a post on the list last week asking how the rpmforge rpm was to be implemented in yum. Craig White was kind enough to list how his yum.conf is appended, I assume after he installed the rpm. Unfortunately, mine is not appended with these lines. I am running CentOS 3. I will add these lines manually, and probably remove

Hi, In the advent of RHEL5 and CentOS 5, I've been rebuilding the RPMforge packages for EL5. You can find these at the usual location[*]. A few points though: + Not all RPMforge packages are available at this time + If you find a package that you need and isn't there, please do look at the buildlogs and send me instructions on how to fix this specific build. (Saves us time

Hi, I finally want to end the fights we have had in the past with keyboard mappings. I already curse the person who is responsible for this keyboard mess (and even more the persons who could have create a 'detect keyboard' kind of functionality in modern PCs :)) But the general problem is this, BIOSes are US qwerty, Belgium uses be-latin1 (azerty with lots of custom keys). And to

Hi, Would it be advisable to use SW-RAID using 2 different SATA controllers. My system happens to have both a VIA VT8237 and SIL3114 SATA controller, and I thought for both performance reason and redundancy using both for a 2 disk RAID1 array would be best. But it's possible that SW-RAID does not like or cannot overcome problems with such a setup or that one of these drivers is known to

Hi all, FOSDEM is coming and it would be nice if CentOS users and developers are present. FOSDEM will take place at 24 and 25 february 2007. (so mark those dates in your calendar!) I guess what we need is a wiki page about FOSDEM linked from some 'CentOS events' page and then people can start planning and indicating who's coming and what the topics could be. Since the developer
